As the biggest physical threat in the game, once he lost immunity in Survivor: Heroes Vs. Healers Vs. Hustlers Episode 9, Cole was immediately the target of the tribe and was eliminated.

Chrissy talks about how Joe and Mike are dead men walking. Really? “The 7” are going to have to turn on each other eventually. Way back in season 8, Kathy already tried to explain this to these people. Flip at 7 or 9. And it’s not like they can wait to 7 since that’s the size of the alleged alliance.

For the reward challenge, they will stack blocks using only their feet. Reward is an aerial tour of the islands and then food. Mike builds up a bit of a lead, but there are a couple of people closing in on him. As he’s adding his flag to the center, he knocks over a block. Lauren wins reward. She invites Devon, Ben, and Ashley to go with her. She didn’t even try to cover up the fact that she’s inviting the people she wants to work with. I thought Ryan was just being diplomatic when he justified her choices, but maybe he really is dumb enough to not see what is happening.

Devon reveals Ryan’s idol to the group. Then Lauren reveals her secret advantage. These people don’t all like each other either, but they claim they are willing to put that aside.

Ben stumbles across a clue for the hidden immunity idol that Mike just wasted, which does not seem very difficult to follow because he then grabs the idol shortly thereafter. For all the sharing they just did, he doesn’t plan to tell anybody.

For the immunity challenge, they will stand on triangular platforms in the water with their feet perched on narrow footholds. Jeff makes an offer before the challenge begins. They can skip it in exchange for peanut butter and chocolate. Devon, Ben, and Lauren sit out. Now you ask the question: why do three of the four people who went on that reward feel so safe? JP has been struggling all along and is the first to fall after 10 minutes. They move to the top level after 20 minutes. Chrissy drops immediately, closely followed by Joe. Ryan is next. Mike falls. Ashley wins immunity.

They plan to vote out Mike. But the real plan is to get rid of JP, Ryan, or Chrissy. They don’t seem to know which. Just one of them. Devon wants Ben to pretend to be with the other side and vote Mike, while Mike and Joe join the other three to control the vote. They still give no hint as to the actual target right up through Tribal.
