Survivor- Season 21 Episode 7- “What Goes Around Comes Around”
So, I think I’ve figured out that there are a total of 3 people I like this season of Survivor, and one of them is Jeff Probst. The other two are Jane and Fabio, and so, you can expect a lot of pro-Jane and Fabio bias in these recaps from now on. On to the bullet points:
•Returning from their tribal council, the Espadans decide that Alina should be the next person voted out, not Dan, who, may I reiterate, CAN BARELY WALK. Is there any question why I hate this entire tribe?
•At LaFlor, Marty is talking about what an amazing player Marty is. Which is great foreshadowing for the fact that Marty makes one of the stupidest moves in Survivor history later in the episode.
•The reward challenge involves throwing balls into a net while a member of the other tribe tries to block you. Marty connects straight with Chase’s groin. It’s kind of funny. Jane sits out. Dan is utterly pathetic. Also, Fabio pees in the pool. Really, it’s just Fabio and Jane. Everyone else is kind of dead to me. Espada ultimately wins.
•On the reward, a big Nicaraguan breakfast, they have to milk their own cows. NaOnka looks slightly mortified. Plus, the cow had an artificial leg, so she had to hate it. Not really, I’m just making fun of NaOnka’s completely irrational hatred of artificial limbs. Espada gets really emotional about the reward meal. Except for NaOnka. She was probably just thinking about artificial limbs.
•Jane, who has been doing all the work for her tribe, catches multiple fish, but sneaks off into the jungle to eat one of them on her own. God, I love this woman. She calls it her own personal food reward. Love. Nothing but love.
•The Immunity challenge involves rolling a ball down the chute which other tribe members direct to try to break tiles. There’s a bunch of bickering in LaFlor while Espada works well together and eventually wins.
•LaFlor is splitting between Jill and Marty again to flush out the idol, but Sash and Brenda come up with a plan: tell Marty to give them the idol and in return, they’ll vote out Jill. Marty, because he has more brain function than a comatose slug, sees right through this plan and refuses to do it. Or at least he says he’s going to not do it, BUT THEN HE DOES IT. Did they recruit everyone on this season from the short bus? Sash thinks he’s a power player now, but that’s only because everyone on this season is an absolute idiot, and in the land of the absolute idiots, the only-mostly-an-idiot is king.
•Tribal is uneventful until the idol gets discussed. Sash tells everyone the idol is in his pocket, and then Jeff asks Marty what happened and even Jeff seems befuddled by how stupid Marty is. Also, jeff absolutely tries to stir up shit by asking Sash if he’d be willing to give Brenda the idol, and Sash backs down, and accidentally says that he’d be willing to unless he stops trusting them, wait, he means they stop trusting him. Major Freudian slip there, but, even more idiotically, no one seems to care about what Sash just said. Jesus, these people irk me. On this case, yes, even Jane and Fabio. But, for serious, Fabio and Jane power-alliance, anyone? Pretty please, with a medallion of power on top? Anyway, Jill ends up getting voted out, because I guess these people decided not to lie to Marty after all. Whatevs? Just let Jane and Fabio make it farther. That’s all I care about.
