After Carolyn used her idol, Dan was sent packing in Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 13, as her alliance’s votes against her did not count. That brings us down to a final five of Carolyn Rivera, Mike Holloway, Rodney Lavoie Jr., Sierra Dawn Thomas, and Will Sims II.

I agree with Probst that this was a good season for people who are trying to play the game. Unfortunately, it’s also been a good season for very unlikeable and unnecessarily volatile cast members. This seems to be Mike’s to lose, perhaps to Carolyn. Rodney has been a hothead. Will has been inept and invisible. And Sierra, I was surprised to learn her last name is not Who?

Mike can’t figure out why Carolyn is going to the beach with the people who all just voted against her. She has an explanation. He may have joined with her, but he does not have the numbers. So she doesn’t care that they just tried to eliminate her. Mike remains her target.

Reward is a camp visit with a loved one plus an advantage in the immunity challenge. Their task is to go through a net crawl, slide tiles on a platform, transport those tiles on a machete across some obstacles, and lastly use them to solve a puzzle. As usual, Mike s in the lead. Nobody else is even seeming competitive. Mike wins reward.

Mike’s advantage is that his mom can lead him through the maze while he is blindfolded for 30 minutes. They are all blindfolded during the challenge of searching for medallions in the maze, so he is the only one with even limited visual guidance in the task. Once again, Mike takes the lead and quickly begins to blow everyone else away. It gets to the point where everybody else starts helping each other, but it’s too little, too late. Mike wins immunity.

Now that Mike’s immune, Carolyn has changed her mind. She’s his buddy now and wants to get rid of Rodney. Sierra is onboard with this plan because she’s also afraid of Mike.

The other name up for consideration is Sierra. Her defense to keep her: she hasn’t won anything, but she keeps coming in second to Mike. Jeff poses the question: isn’t that a reason to get rid of her?

With 3 votes, Sierra has been voted off the island.

For the last time, immunity is back up for grabs. It is not an endurance challenge, a fact that may be Mike’s saving grace. They run up stairs to grab a bag, slide down a waterslide or at least a slide with water on it, go through an obstacle course, and repeat the process two more times before opening those bags to use the pieces to solve a puzzle. Do I even have to mention that Mike is in the lead? Mike wins immunity for the fifth time.

The logical choice here would seem to be for Mike to bring Rodney and Will to the end with him because they can’t beat anybody. Granted, I can’t see Carolyn winning either, but she seems a lot more likely to actually get some votes. Rather than doing the logical thing, Mike has an alternate plan to force a tie and send it to a fire making challenge. I could perhaps understand the rationalization to this if she had been on his side, but she turned against him immediately after the vote in which they tried to get rid of her. Of course, this is Mike we’re talking about. He’s not here because he’s a strategic mastermind. He’s here because he kept winning challenges.

We have a tie. After 6 minutes, Carolyn breaks her flint, so she gets a new one. Rodney eventually does the same and then a second time. Carolyn, too. The jury is bored and shaking their heads. Rodney finally makes flame after 45 minutes, but it doesn’t last. He’s figured it out and gets fire again. Carolyn gets it, too, but her fire is quite unimpressive relative to his. Unlike Rodney, Carolyn is building a fire slowly but one that is effective. Rodney has been eliminated. He leaves swearing at Mike.

Joe claims to be an open book, but he doesn’t have any questions, just an explanation of what he wants them to do when others ask them questions.

Hali asks Carolyn about her mother role, which she acknowledges but says she also fought hard.

Rodney talks to his best bud Will, who talks about only having what he is as a person. Then he asks Carolyn about what moves she’s made, and she provides examples of Tyler’s elimination and the alliance she was forced into at the end with Mike.

Tyler asks about Mike’s social game, and Mike acknowledges that he didn’t do a good job at that, as bitter people like Dan respond with a head shake. He then asks Carolyn to redeem herself in his eyes, and she apologizes but hey, this is Survivor.

Sierra asks which trait they’d like from the other two players. Will appreciated Mike’s work ethic.

Jenn doesn’t have any problem with the final three. Instead, she wants to bash the jury for being bitter and angry. Classic Jenn. And to recap, vote for Mike.

Dan accuses Mike of not caring about the jury. That is all. Only not really. He asks Jeff if he can get back up and run his mouth some more, but this time he has some kinder words for Mike after hearing him defend himself.

Shirin just wants to talk more about how Will upset her.

Will received Rodney’s vote, and Carolyn received Sierra’s vote. Otherwise, it looks like a landslide, as the Survivor: Worlds Apart winner is Mike. I’m not sure the right person did or did not win, but I’m not sure there necessarily was a right person. Still, this seems like a satisfactory ending.

As the winner, Mike is not eligible for next season, which he would have been part of otherwise.

Now it’s time to reveal the case for season 31 from the public vote.

If I had to pick my Survivor dream cast, I’m not sure any of these people would be on it. Jeff talks up how this cast includes people from seasons 1-30, which he is right about, but more than half the cast is from the past 2 years, seasons that have not been interesting enough to warrant that high a concentration of castaways. As far as placement, there are a few runners up, but the average is 6.6, with a number of mediocre players in the mix. In fairness, some of the game’s best players didn’t make it very far on their first attempt.

It was Rodney’s birthday in Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 12. Oh, and Tyler went home.

Carolyn reveals Dan’s advantage to Mike, but despite that extra vote that Dan has, she again wants to disregard it.

For the reward challenge, they will race across obstacles, undo some knots, free dozens of puzzle pieces (23 of which contain a letter), and solve the phrase. Reward is a helicopter tour and meal. For those who didn’t get the memo on his birthday, Rodney hasn’t been on a reward yet. Dan, Sierra, and Rodney are up against Carolyn, Mike, and Will. Notwithstanding the fact that the other side has Will, it doesn’t seem Rodney can win this either.

After half an hour, both teams are unable to figure out the Survivor phrase. Then 45 minutes. And an hour. The longest word puzzle in Survivor history. Finally, Carolyn, Mike, and Will figure out “A reward with all the fixins”. I’m going to take Jeff’s word that he says that often. As for Carolyn, she’s keeping her reward rather than give it away to some whiner. Good. I can see an argument for giving up reward, but not when he’s behaving like this.

Mike proposes a final three deal with the two people he happens to be with on reward. Convenient.

Continuing to whine, Rodney has decided that his target (after Mike) is Carolyn.

For the immunity challenge, they will retrieve bags using grappling hooks then use the balls inside to solve a table maze. Mike has a lead heading into the maze. By some miracle, Dan is in second. Sierra makes a big comeback to make things interesting, but it’s not enough. Mike wins immunity.

That makes Carolyn the target, unless they want to actually do something about Dan’s advantage, which gets bigger as the numbers dwindle.

Mike points out something to the women, and he’s not wrong. Dan and Rodney are in the shelter resting, while everybody else is scrambling. That’s code for the fact that they feel comfortable.

Rodney struggles to form a sentence at Tribal Council. He blames the lack of food.

Prior to the votes being read, Dan reveals his advantage, which I don’t think will make any difference. Carolyn isn’t taking any chances either. She plays her hidden immunity idol, high fiving Mike as she returns to her seat.

With 2 votes, Dan has been voted off the island. With both advantages flushed out and Carolyn aware where she stands, that was a pretty huge Tribal Council.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 14, where we will find out who the Survivor: Worlds Apart winner is, which airs Wednesday at 8/7c on CBS.

Shirin was predictably voted out in Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 11, but at least Mike’s lying led to an interesting split vote in which the alliance turned on itself.

Tyler justifies his vote by saying he voted for Dan because his name was on the chopping block, and he plans to vote for Dan again anyway.

It’s Rodney’s birthday, which means one thing. We get to listen to him whine about how he hasn’t been on a reward.

For the reward challenge, they divide into two teams of three who will unspin their keys, build a ladder, cross a netsling, and ultimately attempt to land balls into a series of targets using a catapult. Reward is to deliver supplies to a local orphanage. Just in time for there to be an almost complete lack of likeable people to participate. Dan picks Tyler and Rodney; Carolyn picks Sierra and Mike. Will sits out and has no shot at reward. As Mike and his team get started on launching balls, Rodney forgets his and has to go back.

In a close finish, Mike, who refuses to let Sierra try, beats Dan to win reward for himself and Carolyn and Sierra. None of them are willing to give up their reward for Rodney because that would be stupid and the fact that it’s his birthday should not either matter or be their problem. Who cares that it’s his birthday, like it’s some sort of national holiday? If they want to give up their reward, that would be very nice of them, but it’s really silly that he just expects it and gets angry that they do not.

As the others have a cheerful reward, back at camp, Rodney becomes increasingly angry, if you can tell the difference between this and his normal amount of being over the top. He plans to use this to his advantage. He’ll pretend to want to get eliminated to blindside Mike. Suspecting he’ll be Mike’s target, Tyler is not onboard with this plan.

For the immunity challenge, they will balance on a perch while leaning back and holding on to a rope. Will and Dan are the first ones out of the challenge. Shocking. Sierra drops. Rodney follows. As they transition to the next knot, Mike falls and so does Tyler. Carolyn wins immunity.

Mike’s target is Tyler. Tyler and Will discuss voting Dan like they did last week.

This time, Mike does indeed play his hidden immunity idol.

That’s it? I’m underwhelmed by this who’s not who list of potential castaways. If you don’t recognize most of those names, you’re not alone. 5 of the 32 have been drawn from this season’s rather lackluster cast, and two of them have not yet been eliminated.

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.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 12, which airs Wednesday at 8/7c on CBS.

Joe painted a giant bullseye on himself by winning every time, and when he finally lost in Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 9, they did not hesitate to get rid of him.

Rodney says he plans to get rid of his leader Mike (again), but this time Mike overhears him.

They head to the Survivor auction. Jen and Will get into a bidding war for a covered item, a note that Will wins for $100. He just bought himself out of this auction and can head back to camp. Shirin jumps straight to $300 for chicken and waffles. Then Jenn, Sierra, and Rodney get food of some sort for some price. Why are we rushing through this? I guess because Jeff knows the others are waiting for an advantage. At Shirin’s urging, Sierra bids $20 for a letter from home and stops there. Shirin is right, and everybody gets a letter for the same price.

Now what they’ve been waiting for. Dan, Carolyn, and Mike bid $480 for an advantage in the game. They will draw rocks to decide who gets it. Dan gets the white rock and wins the advantage. Leading up to this, Mike hemmed and hawed about whether to go in with the group and buy the letters or save his 20 bucks, and his reluctance makes them angry for some reason. His explanation in a public meeting is that Rodney flipped. Rodney, who needs to relax, tells him to relax.

Here’s the twist for Will. His prize was not so lame after all. He’s got a clue to a map that tells him to dig. It’s a personal supply of rations, which he immediately decides to share with the rest of the tribe.

Dan’s advantage is a pretty big one. He bought himself an extra vote. Much better than an advantage in the next immunity challenge that would not have helped him at all.

Rather than just be grateful for what Will has given them, Mike and then Jenn and Shirin accuse him of being suspicious and hiding food from them. Dumb of him to share with these idiots. In turn, Will starts acting like them, shouting at Shirin. Oh, and nobody even likes her anyway. Anywhere in the entire country.

When they get to the immunity challenge, Will has an offer for Jeff. He will sit out of the challenge if he can have his letter from home. For the sake of causing drama, Jeff asks if anybody objects. You would assume nobody will, but Shirin does. Haha. Karma. Three wrongs probably don’t make a right, but the way he went off on her, it’s hard to fault her for jabbing him back.

The challenge, which Will is going to lose as usual anyway, is to pick up balls with tongs and transport them across a balance beam and place the balls on a stand. There’s a learning curve to this, and Mike is the first to crack it. Nobody else is even close. Tyler is the only one in remote contention, and he’s been lapped. Mike wins immunity.

Rodney’s plan is shot to hell now. They’ll target Jenn and split the vote 3-3. Jenn’s only hope is Dan, or as she calls him, dumbass. Of course, their target is Carolyn, who has an idol.

Not content with how much of an ass he was earlier, Will continues to go after Shirin at Tribal Council, even as she cries about her childhood.

Then we get to listen to Rodney yell some more while accusing Mike of having been in a manic state.

Hali found herself as the next in the predictable line in Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 8 and was eliminated.

As Dan continues to antagonize Shirin, Mike makes a deal with her. Meanwhile, Rodney continues to talk about planning to turn on his tribe, eventually, once he’s finished doing whatever Mike says.

At the reward challenge, they are divided into two teams of five, who will race across a series of obstacles in the water and then do a ring toss. Reward is a trip to the chocolate cafe. Mike and Rodney are about even. Dan and Will lack about the same amount of grace. Tyler takes a bit of a lead over Carolyn, and then Shirin ends up getting handily beaten by Jenn and lapped by Joe. But then her team makes it interesting on the ring toss. Mike, Shirin, Dan, Sierra, and Tyler win reward.

Jenn wants to give people a reason to kick her out. She has an offer for Joe. If he lets her win immunity, she’ll give him the necklace.

It’s an endurance challenge again. This time, they will balance with a block wedged between their heads and the platform above them. It would seem based on everything else that Joe is the favorite here, but he’s the first to show signs of weakness. Carolyn drops, and Will follows right behind her, then Shirin. Rodney is next to fall and immediately after that Dan falls as Jeff reminds them to be mindful of everyone else because the challenge was designed in a way that they can shake everybody else. Sierra falls next. Joe has been struggling the whole time and finally loses immunity for the first time. Mike is next. After half an hour, only two remain. Jenn has been strong throughout the challenge but finally fails as Tyler wins immunity.

Joe is the obvious target since he is now finally vulnerable, but they have the numbers to split the vote.

Shirin and Jenn have their own plans. If she and Joe vote Jenn out, which she wants, they can send her home and keep Joe in the game. So Shirin’s master plan still leaves the blue team in control with 7 people. How does that help her?

As for Joe, he makes a fake hidden immunity idol and makes a deal more or less with Mike to give it to him.

Jenn argues at Tribal Council that she doesn’t quit. No, she just lays down and dies.

Before the vote, Mike pulls out his fake hidden idol and asks Jeff to verify whether it is real. He cannot do that until it is played. Afterward, he plays it. Why? I guess the lie was not very convincing. It helps that he already has the real idol.

With 5 votes, Joe has been voted off the island. He proved to be a bigger challenge threat than tolerable, so getting rid of him only makes sense. Trusting Shirin to vote with them was pretty dangerous, though. The seemingly random Dan vote came from Jenn, who did not want to pile another one on to Joe.

Jenn saved herself with a hidden immunity idol in Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 7, which caused Kelly to be sent home.

Rodney blames Mike, his leader, for changing the vote from Hali to Jenn.

For the reward challenge, they will collect puzzle pieces on balance beams and then the top three will solve a puzzle. Reward is a pizza picnic. Shirin is a lost cause. Joe is flying through this. You think he might dial it back, but it’s not like his strength is a secret by now. Mike is behind him. Hali places third. They all seem pretty competent at the puzzle, but it’s Joe who wins reward. He chooses Tyler, Will, and Carolyn to join him. After Rodney talks about being 7 strong, Joe can choose another person, and he goes with Shirin. He’s basically got all the potential swing votes with him.

In Carolyn’s bottle of soda is a clue to the hidden immunity idol. She doesn’t notice and gives it to Joe to finish, and Tyler catches him taking it. When they get back, Mike sneaks behind and watches them read the clue. Tyler knows something is up, so he tells Mike the clue. Later, Mike pretends to everyone that Joe found the idol, and Joe plays along.

Joe’s happy because he assumes everybody bought this, and he’s content to just rest on that. Then there’s Mike, who uses this opportunity to go find the idol himself. The interesting thing about this dynamic where Mike wants to get rid of Joe is that he knows he’s the next biggest target, so what he’s doing is potentially taking out a shield that deflects attention from himself.

The immunity challenge is three slide mazes and a slide puzzle. Nothing more than that, just a puzzle. Rodney and Hali fall way behind, but all the others are in it and trying to catch up to Joe. Dan yells that he has it, and everybody stupidly stops. He is wrong. Now he has it. Everybody stops and looks again. Wrong again. How about you keep going until Jeff says somebody wins? Like Joe, who wins immunity as usual.

Shirin is mentioned as a target, but she’s toxic and not going to win anything, making her a nice person to drag along to the end. Hali is mentioned as the replacement.

The girls find a common enemy to complain about some more, and Dan is their target.

The unstable Blue Collar tribe stuck together after throwing a challenge in Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 6 and voted out Joaquin.

Now that Rodney’s bromance is gone, he’s probably not going to be quiet about it, though he claims he’ll be Mike’s bitch until the merge.

They walk to what they think is a challenge, but Jeff’s not there. They assume they have merged, and they have. Well, I guess Rodney’s relative silence won’t last long.

After getting excited about showing the others their camp, they find out there is no camp any more. They must build again as they did on the first day.

The Blue Collars were excited about the potential to control the game, but all it would take is for the other two tribes to get together to get rid of them. Rodney’s upset enough that blue isn’t looking like a great plan regardless.

Mike suggests a tribe name. Merica. Well. That could be the dumbest tribe name so far. Shirin, who just got done asking Dan if she should pee on his foot because he got stung by a jellyfish, is the voice of reason, picking on just how bad the name is.

Rodney was telling Mike that he wouldn’t have gotten stuck in some bromance. So to prove it, he plans to get rid of Mike as revenge.

The first individual immunity challenge is one of endurance in which they will hang on to poles. A Survivor classic, which has been won by a man 3 times and by a woman 3 times. Who it won’t be won by is the big guys. Dan drops immediately, and Will is right behind him. Tyler follows. Sierra, Shirin, and Kelly are next. They sure are dropping quickly. Half the people remain after 25 minutes. Mike drops, and Rodney is right behind him. Hali then falls, and so does the rain. After 55 minutes, the others are starting to weaken. Jenn is out. Carolyn follows. Joe wins immunity.

Joe would have been a good target, but he’s off the table now.

Hali’s name is spelled Hali? Apparently that was a thing in the 90s.

Jenn reveals to Hali that she has an idol. They have no way of knowing whether White Collar will really join them.

Before the vote, an uncertain Jenn plays her idol.
