Having given up long ago and still hating her mostly despicable fellow castaways, Jenn finally reached the end of her rope in Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 10.
Dan has convinced himself he is not at the bottom of the barrel.
Shirin continues to overreact to Will’s behavior. Although she has a point to an extent, Dan’s not believing that she deserves the pity she wants.
Reward is sailing with burgers and pie. Mike, Shirin, Sierra, and Rodney (blue) are against Tyler, Dan, Carolyn, and Will (red). Their task is simply to get from one side to the other using four barrels, two planks, and some rope without ever touching the ground. Mike is making some aggressive moves that keeps his team ahead and hanging by a thread, while the red team goes slow and steady. As they near the end, red is taking the lead as Mike accidentally lets the planks touch, giving way to a red team win. I wouldn’t have bet on the group of misfits at the beginning of that challenge.
They head into another endurance immunity challenge. They will hold on to a rope handle attached to 25% of their body weight (from day 1). The last man and woman standing win. After 15 minutes, we see the first signs of struggle from multiple people. Sierra is the first to fall, followed by Tyler and then Will and Dan. Because of the rules of this challenge and number of contestants of each gender, the women had a 1 in 3 chance of winning. When Shirin drops, Carolyn wins immunity. Rodney’s been struggling since before Sierra was eliminated, and he finally drops, giving Mike individual immunity.
Mike would have been the easy target, but once again they cannot get rid of him. They still have an easy albeit somewhat useless vote in Shirin, although I don’t think the jury really hates her as much as they want.
Shirin’s target if she can rally enough people to bring her to the end because nobody likes her is going to be Tyler.
For all that talk, they know Dan has an advantage. Tyler goes though his bag and finds out he has an extra vote, which he could use now to get rid of Tyler the personal property invader if he wanted.
There is no plan for a split vote because they’d have to vote against one of their own. With that in mind. Mike could give his idol to Shirin because they are all obviously going to vote for her, which would result in whoever they want going home. That seems like a logical move considering Mike has nobody once Shirin leaves, though it does perhaps increase his odds of being voted out next time.
So it’s Tribal Council again. We get to listen to tales of Shirin’s troubled past, while Will refuses to apologize because he’s not sorry.
Prior to the vote, Mike pulls out his hidden immunity idol. Shirin’s voting for Tyler, Mike’s voting for one of the other four, and they can take their chances if they really want to stick to the plan. This is more interesting than surprising them because it forces them to reveal their willingness to split from the alliance.
Despite all his talk, Mike was just bluffing, and I don’t think they bought it. Too much show.

With 4 votes, Shirin has been voted off the island. He may not have gotten enough people to split, but there was some dissension in the ranks. Tyler voted Dan because his head was on the chopping block, and so did Will for some reason. Though he didn’t want to admit it before, Dan should perhaps acknowledge now that he’s on the bottom of their totem pole.
