Survivor: Kaoh Rong Episode 10

People finally got tired of Debbie’s mouth, leading to her demise in Survivor: Kaoh Rong Episode 9 at the hands of her alliance.

Jason believes it was their brilliant “strategy” of being asshats that kept them safe.

Tai returns his second idol to its original owner.

Scot then calls Cydney a bunch of names and pretends to be mature, which Aubry does not believe is possible.

The reward challenge requires them to place one foot on a balancing beam and a pot on the other end. They can choose food, letters from home, or an advantage. There will potentially be three winners, one for each prize. Tai, Cydney, and Aubry choose advantage. Scot, Jason, and Michele choose food. Julia and Joe choose letters.

Joe drops quickly, and Julia wins letters without much effort. Scot drops, followed by Jason. Michele wins food. Cydney drops. It’s been less than 10 minutes, but the challenge is almost over. Aubry drops. Tai wins advantage.

Tai’s advantage is an extra vote. At least that’s less lame than the stupid super idol that he also has access to. This gives him a heck of a lot of power, a lot more useful than a letter or a burger.

Julia wants to flush the idols and vote for Tai. Aubry warns him. She thinks this will get him closer to her, but he’s got his own alliance to go tell about this discussion. The flaw in his interpretation is that she’s a free agent who wants to join all three of them. Scot’s response: let’s get rid of Aubry. Well, that was unexpected. Tai is surprised as well and doesn’t feel like he really has any say in this alliance.

For the immunity challenge, they will stretch their arms out and use their finger tips to hold discs attached to pots at their sides. Joe’s first out again. After 25 minutes, Scot drops, and Julia follows. Tai falls next. Then Michele. After 45 minutes, Cydney is out. Another half an hour passes. Aubry finally drops. Jason wins immunity.

What Aubry is showing unexpectedly is that she’s quite competent at these endurance challenges, one more reason to get rid of her.

Regardless of what Julia is saying, the other girls want to get rid of Scot. Julia keeps thinking she’s in the middle, but it always seems that just means that nobody is listening to her.

Tai doesn’t really trust his alliance, who tell Julia they need to get rid of him eventually, but he’s not sure he wants to turn on them either.

With 4 votes, Scot has been voted off the island. Tai shakes his head no. Here I was irritated that they took all the game out of the game by making the idol something that could be used after the votes are read, and Tai brings strategy where it seemed there wasn’t any, making the whole thing backfire by refusing to share. The side effect of a Scot elimination is that Tai just flushed the second idol, which Jason gave to Scot before Tribal because he had individual immunity.
