Episode 12, Adios Ami

or Ding Dong the Witch is Gone!

Eliza wins a car at the Reward Challenge. Chris wins immunity. And they do the right thing by extinguishing Ami's torch at Tribal Council.

After last week's highlights, Ami did the predictable thing and stated how disappointed she was that Twila lied (how dare she!) about promising to vote off Eliza and then getting Leann voted off. Ami, what part of "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast" don't you understand?

Reward Challenge
Competition: a water obstacle course relay (dive to collect three flags)
Reward: Winner gets a new car! Top three get a luxury overnight getaway.

Ami led most of the way but Eliza managed to win (you go girl). Third place was close too. It came down to Chris and Julie and Chris just barely beat her. I wonder if the game would have changed if Julie had beaten Chris? Then Ami could work her Svengali skills on Eliza and Julie during the overnight stay at the beautiful bungalow.

However Ami did the best she could to influence Eliza, luckily Chris was there too to handle damage control. It was a pretty lame attempt too, something about needing to break up Scout and Twila.

Immunity Challenge
Competition: Vanuatu shuffle board

Again Ami almost won this competition. It came down to her last shot and she needed to score a point or knock a point off of Chris' score to tie with him. Thankfully she did neither and Chris won immunity.

Tribal Council
(paraphrased)
Jeff: The women aren't that strong any longer.
Scout: No we're not.
Jeff: It seemed you (Scout) were all for a strong women's alliance when it served you.
Ami: Last vote wasn't part of the women's alliance. Twila lied (although she didn't mention her by name).
Twila: Let me clear things up. I lied, I'm sorry. I'm not the first one to lie on Survivor. Get over it.
Ami: It's not worth it to me to lie like Twila (swearing on her son's life).
Jeff: Eliza, is this just a case of Sour Grapes (referring to Ami)?
Eliza: No, I think Ami really feels hurt.
Jeff: Will you miss Ami?
Eliza: Yes, she's been like a sister to me.
Ami & Eliza both cry (sniff, sniff)
Ami: I'll miss Eliza too. She's grown a lot in this game and she's been willing to change. (one last attempt to get Eliza to change her vote)

Alliances
It looks like the plan is for Chris, Eliza, Scout and Twila to be in the final four. That would leave Julie in an alliance of one.

Heroes & Villains
Thank you to everyone who made Ami's exit a reality. Sure she's pretty, but she's also such a man-hater and manipulator (not to mention passive aggressive) that I couldn't stand her the last five or six episodes.

Now if we can just get Julie in the final four instead of Scout. I could watch Julie and her red bikini stand for hours holding her hand on a rock (or whatever endurance challenge they come up with).
