Episode 11, Later Leann

or The Loved Ones Visit

The Survivors' loved ones pay a visit for the Reward Challenge and show up again for the Immunity Challenge. Eliza won Reward so her mother spends a night at their camp and then later Ami won Immunity. In a major shake-up, Eliza (fearing that she's the target) sides with Twila, Scout and Chris to vote off Leann.

Chris starts us off by immediately telling the women that it was Twila and Scout's idea to vote for Eliza last episode.

Reward Challenge
Competition: Five Questions
Reward: overnight stay by a loved one

1. In the seventh immunity challenge who broke the most tiles with a sling shot?
2. In the Great Escape challenge who was the first man to start putting his ladder together?
3. In the second immunity challenge (blind puzzle) who sat out?
4. In the fourth immunity challenge (colored symbols) what were the four symbols? (1 point each)
5. In the first reward challenge who fell into the water the most?

Eliza and Julie were tied after the five questions so they got a final deciding question:
Name as many pairs that you can in the Memory/Matching Pairs challenge.

Julie couldn't remember any at all. Eliza had a list and "Grapefruit" was a correct answer so she won the Reward Challenge.

Answers:
1. Rory, 2. Chad, 3. Dolly, 4. volcano, pig head, palm tree, skull; 5. John K.

Immunity Challenge
Competition: Blindfolded Race & Puzzle

The Loved Ones were blindfolded and had to be directed by the Survivors to pick up three bags containing pieces to a puzzle. After the bags were collected, the Survivor and the Loved One could work on the puzzle together.

Ami and Chrissy were the first two to start on the puzzle followed closely by Chris and Lori. Eliza and Leann were never really in this one. Ami barely eked out Immunity.

Ami, Scout, Twila and Leann decide to vote off Eliza (not my Eliza!) It's Leann's idea, she just doesn't think Chris should go before her. Twila goes to Chris to tell him that he can really shake things up now if he talks with Eliza. Chris, not being as dumb as he looks, does indeed talk with Eliza. Was he convincing enough? We'll have to wait until Tribal Council.

Tribal Council
(paraphrased)
Jeff: Did your mom's visit wake you up to realize how far you are?
Eliza: Yes! Early on we all talked about how it would be nice to get this far.
Jeff: Chris, you really needed immunity.
Chris: Yes, Lori (his fiance) tried really hard. She gave it 110%.
Jeff: Leann it didn't look like you and Terri (her friend) tried all that hard.
Leann: I told her that I really didn't need immunity so we just had fun visiting. (she's in for a big surprise!)
Jeff: So Eliza you're packed again.
Eliza: Yes, you can call me paranoid if you want.
("When everyone is out to get you, paranoia is just good thinking." Dr. Johnny Fever)
Jeff: Chris as an outsider is there a lot of tension in the tribe?
Chris: Yes, it's me and six women so there's tension.

Alliances
Apparently Ami, Scout, Twila and Leann were in a final four alliance together. This fooled me, I thought it was Ami, Leann, Eliza and Julie in an alliance. Whatever the alliance, all bets are off now. Can Twila, Scout, Chris and Eliza stay together and vote off Ami next? I hope that that's their plan.

Heroes & Villains
Hopefully Ami's days are numbered now. Chris has a good shot at making the final four now.
