Blue: Stephen, Shannon, Sage, and Jawan (Sage can't stand Shannon!)

Yellow:  MC, Sophi, Rizzo, Savannah

Red:  Alex, Sophie, Nate, and Kristina (who appears to be having an issue with her knee??)

Right away, Kristina is overcome by the heat, and Jeff calls Medical in.  She's fine after some water and a short break.

Reward Challenge:

Yellow wins grilled cheese, potato chips, iced tea, and brownies! Sophi finally gets to eat something other than coconuts!!!!

Red gets just grilled cheese

Blue goes back empty-handed.

Stephen's on the outs at blue; MC at yellow, and Nate at red.

Sophi finds the Knowledge Is Power advantage!  She can ask anyone at tribal about an idol, and it becomes hers:)

Immunity Challenge:

Yellow and Red win, sending Blue back to Tribal.

Tribal Council:

Shannon wants to out Jawan; Sage wants to out Shannon; Stephen's game for whomever.

Shannon voted out:)

4) Could NOT get Maria or Daniel on the phone!  Turned out everything blew up at once....

5) Customer wanted 2 5' pieces of pipe, since we didn't have any 10' in the 2" size....but since I couldn't get an answer, he had to leave to go get his wife.  If he returns, I'm authorized for ONLY 2 pieces!

Outfit:  Halloween shirt, black l/s tee, black jeggings, Boos

Off tomorrow for choir practice!

Croatia:

Detour:  Deliver Fishnets or Skinning Fish?

Double U-Turn!

Jas/Jag U-turned Izzy/Paige

Joseph/Adam U-Turned Rubina/Kristine

Chadda team wanted to switch, but no one's phone's maps worked, so they returned to try again,even though they were last.  

Roadblock:  Racing downhill in 36 seconds:)

Tucker does it in one shot!

Jag loses his bolts on 1st attempt.

Chelsie, Simone, Paige, and Kristine all struggle to get down the hill in 36 seconds.  Most are 37 or 38, and fatigue sets in.

Nat/Steph 5th

Jack/Chelsie 6th

Survivor 49: Week 5

 Journey:  Nate and MC

Task:  Move sandbags from Point A to Point B before the timer runs out.

TWIST:  There's an advantage in the jungle, but if one finds it, the other loses their vote. Nate realizes MC has a better chance of finding it, so he concocts the scheme to finish the bags all but one, then they go look.  When the timer's nearly empty, they simply move the final sand bag, thus securing both their votes, but neither has the advantage.

At Camp:

Shannon has been uber friendly with everyone except Sage, about creating a merge alliance, but she also tells Steven she wants to vote out Sage. Naturally, this gets back to Sage, who informs the others that Rizzo has an idol, and she feels Shannon is playing way too hard and needs to go. The others agree with her.

Meanwhile, over at Blue tribe, Jawan is driving Savannah nuts. First by using her bag to collect firewood, then by accidentally grabbing her water bottle.  3rd, he seems to try to be around every time she's having a conversation with others.

Challenge:

Reward:  Chickens!

Blue tribe pulls out the win:)  Alex and Steven managed to kill the rooster so they can eat, but the girls are traumatized by the killing.  Though everyone does eat it!  Not like in previous seasons where bleeding hearts either set them free or kept them alive the entire time.

Yellow going back to Tribal; Jason might be on the chopping block, along with Jawan.

Jason's voted out.

Outfit:  Blue Whitehourse sweatshirt, faded jeggings.  No earrings; my right ear is complaining.
