If you have not read my episode 10 recap please read it before you read this one. Here is the link: https://purplerealitycom.wordpress.com/2018/11/29/survivor-david-vs-goliath-episode-10-recap-do-you-know-what-a-ruben-sandwich-is/ . Now on to episode 11.

We get back to camp after Alec was voted out. I’m still salty about it. The Davids, specifically Carl and Nick are celebrating. They come off as cocky in this scene. Alison takes Christian aside and breaks down. At this moment, Alison is now the person I’m rooting for the most. We instantly go to the reward challenge

In this challenge two teams have to climb a ladder then, dive for buoys and throw ball into nets. Christian is not chosen for the challenge. The orange team is Kara, Carl, Davie and Mike. Purple is Nick, Alison, Angelina and Gabby. The highlight was Davie being ready for the jam because he slammed that ball. Orange wins and I swear Orange has won every reward challenge this season. (Authors note: I am right Orange has won every reward.)

At the reward, Carl and Davie get especially drunk. Carl drunkenly tells Kara that Alison is next. Carl is figuratively and literally drunk with power. Kara and Mike pretend to be on board with the plan. Davie also mentions that he earned his black card since he was good athletically.

Back at the loser camp, Gabby and Christian are tired of Carl being the Godfather. The winners come back and Carl talks about having a great time. I am thinking does Carl remember what happened. Later that night, Carl gathers the Davids but Angelina replaces Gabby to tell them that Alison is the plan. Angelina is fine with this since it puts her over Gabby. Others like Mike are less thrilled. Carl in this scene is sitting in the hammock controlling everything and I have to ask, Who put a nickel in Carl?

Where was this Carl all season? This changes everything about Carl’s position. I wanted Carl to go since this style of leadership makes the season boring. Back to Mike, I don’t understand why Mike was on the fence about saving Alison. This is a clear choice. You either get rid of Alison and get pagonged or be in a five person majority. How is this a hard decision? If Mike went with Carl’s plan I was gonna bash him so hard. The scene ends with Carl telling Christian to tell Gabby that the boot will be Angelina so she does not try to save her friend.

The next morning, Christian tells Gabby the “real plan” *wink wink*. Gabby is offended tha Carl wants to leave her out of the plan. This is such a bad move by Carl. It alienates a number and Christian was not gonna lie to Gabby. We also find out that they are low on rice so, Angelina is prepared to negotiate with Jeff. The edit portrayed this as worse than it was. People have done this before. I think people were annoyed with it because it came from Angelina. I have bashed Angelina many times and I think she got a bad rap.

Immunity Challenge

Christian gives back immunity as Jeff prepares to fake arrest him. The challenge is to grab puzzle pieces after spinning and solve a word puzzle for the word PERSPECTIVE not PERCEPTIONS. Before the challenge Angelina makes the offer of the fishing gear, most of the cookware, the comfort chairs and hammocks. Jeff says yes but instead of that someone gives up immunity. Angelina gives up her shot and the camp gets enough RATIONED rice for the rest of the game. The challenge starts with everyone jumping off the structure then spinning. Christian almost goes the wrong way. At the puzzle Carl locks in with perceptions and is wrong. Some people think this is bad that a real word could be the wrong answer but there is no way Survivor uses a plural for a puzzle. Alison figures out the answer but Davie snipes the Immunity and wins. Post Challenge, Carl thinks this vote will be simple.

Back at camp, Carl wants a feast of rice after Jeff specifically told them that the rice was rationed. Is Carl still a little drunk? Alison, Kara, Christian and Gabby are on board to save Alison. It just comes down to Mike. Again, it should be an easy decision for Mike. Gabby talks about how this vote will change ironically the perspective of the jury on Gabby.

Tribal

At tribal, Christian compares the early merge and mid merge as scrambled eggs vs poached eggs. Alison is scared because the eggs taste different. Not much else happens and we vote. By a vote of 5-4…

Carl is the next jury member. The girls yell BING as he goes out. I’m happy Carl is leaving. He was invisible during most of the game and was a killjoy to gameplay when he finally had a spotlight. I wished it happened last episode but it’s in the past. Carl’s biggest weakness was his bluntness when it came to strategy. It was Carl’s way or the Highway.

The purple player of this episode was Nick. I never thought I put him here but maybe the edit was protecting him from being seen as blindsided.

Next time: Loved ones visit and Gabby is ready to flip on Christian?

Grab your stuff and head back to camp!
