One tribe attempts to recover after drawing a line in the sand at tribal council. Also, a castaway goes on a journey and must make a decision that could change their game, and one tribe stacks their way to victory, earning immunity and a fruitful reward.

I never take notes. I probably should, but that would involve caring.

In other news . . . Maryann? Still a bit much.

Maryanne, why would you tell everyone about your extra vote??

Oh look, she also found the idol.

[LadyChatts]

Day after at Taku.  They are doing a group idol hunt.  MaryAnne found it (or the clue with the crazy phrase she has to say). 

And she revealed to the tribe she has an extra vote.

[vb68]

I'm not sure that was smart of MaryAnne to tell them about the extra vote.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, Mike gets a normal phrase to say, but MaryAnne gets something about bunnies and mailboxes?

And she's seriously telling everyone she doesn't have a vote now.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, and now she's telling her tribe about her idol and having no vote...girl...

[DEL901]

The two Canucks!

[Lantern7]

Maryann takes the three-way advantage about as well as expected . . . with anger and enthusiasm.

Well doesn't matter now since she can't vote anyway, until the idols are activated. 

[Lantern7]

“Daniel is a little neurotic.” Yeah, and Maryann is a little energetic. 🙄🙄🙄

[vb68]

Oh god, they are giving MaryAnne a phrase to say.

I'm sure she won't be annoying with it or anything.

[truthaboutluv]

lol, I love Mike. 

[LadyChatts]

Daniel's lawyer side is coming out and he wants to read the fine print on the idol clue.  Mike decides to let him read it (and run off with it).  

I'm not exactly sure what Daniel's strategy was there in thinking Mike wasn't going to have a vote until the end of the game.  Also, I'm still wondering about the 'must read it at the next immunity challenge' in the letter with the phrase.

[DEL901]

If they are smart, they will get rid of the MaryAnne and her extra vote and potential idol. 

[Lantern7]

Seriously, Daniel looks like he’s related to Quentin Tarantino. I keep expecting Sam Jackson to pop up.

[iMonrey]

Bright side . . . after this season, they (hopefully) won't be able to do these stupid "secret phrase" idols because the minute everyone hears some stupid phrase that makes no sense everyone will know they have the idol.

[MerBearHou]

Jeez, Daniel…

[LadyChatts]

Challenge already?

[Lantern7]

Can’t wait for the Beware Advantage next season. I wanna see some neurotic tizzy action!

Oh my God, Maryann made up a story. And Probst no-sold it.

Maryanne is an idiot but we all knew that. Getting caught up and having to pause every 30 seconds while my husband interrupts with random conversations. And then the idol search with other people around. 

[truthaboutluv]

That was actually kind of smooth in working in that stupid phrase, Mary Anne.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, MaryAnne can totally get away with that phrase.  I wouldn't have thought anything about it. 

Can Mike really get away with not saying his line?

[Pepper the Cat]

Love the bunny in the mailbox story

[iMonrey]

Nine minutes in and we're already at a challenge. I don't watch this show for these American Gladiators obstacle course/puzzle mash-ups.

Swim out, find the ladder, retrieve the key, unlock the puzzle, do the puzzle, raise the flag .  . .

SNORE.

[vb68]

I wonder which one of Daniel and Mike will get the other one first.

Mike seemed too trusting, but had his eyes opened a bit. 

[Pepper the Cat]

What no cheese burgers?

[Lady Calypso]

The fact that we're already at the challenge not even 12 minutes into the episode means either this challenge goes hella long or it's gonna be a long tribal council.

[LadyChatts]

Didn't their use to be a rule about not sitting out people in back to back challenges?  Hasn't Lydia sat out every challenge so far?

No, she was the caller last episode ("HEY, YOU TWO BITCHES, COME HERE!"). 

 

[LadyChatts]

Not sure this was the best day for a water challenge.

[Straycat80]

They are swimming in rough water!

Oh yeah I forgot about that lol  

[Lantern7]

Nice that Probst is getting a chuckle out of the struggling. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[Pepper the Cat]

Jonathan is amazing

[LadyChatts]

Taku is blessed to have Jonathan.  He's not struggling at all.  Got the ladder and then went back to help them.

[MerBearHou]

I heart Jonathan.

[ProfCrash]

Daniel is a spaz. How long will he last with this type of behavior?

[vb68]

This is crazy early for an immunity challenge. Must be a crazy tribal.

[Lady Calypso]

Good on Jonathan for really saving their tribe here.

But it just goes to show that the water conditions for this challenge is not good if everyone but Jonathan is really struggling.

[LadyChatts]

Taku is already on shore.  Vati and Ika still in the water.  This is kind of scary.

[iMonrey]

Why are Jeff's pants wet? He's not even in the water past his shoes.

Jeff clearly wants to have sex with Jonathan.

[LadyChatts]

Did Ozzy grow a few inches and change his name to Jonathan?

 

[Lantern7]

“Jonathan just drops the bags on target from above!” Seriously, how is that fair? 😜

[MerBearHou]

Good Lord, people are drowning.

[Straycat80]

Jonathan is a beast in this challenge! And they win! 

[truthaboutluv]

Damn, okay that was impressive. Dude singlehandedly won the entire challenge. 

[PaperTree]

Jonathon is a beast.  Wow!

[vb68]

Jonathan is both Superman and Aquaman.

[Lady Calypso]

I don't think the remaining tribes can finish. The water is ridiculously rough.
