It was two back-to-back crazy episodes of standout game play we’ve come to expect this season on Survivor: Cambodia – Second Chance, and we saw two great players go home: Ciera and Stephen.

In the first hour, the stage was set for a showdown between Stephen and Joe. You could see Stephen salivating at the hope of finally getting rid of Survivor MacGyver. The rain was relentless, the thunder was rumbling, the lightning was striking, and Stephen’s stomach was doing a little bit of both. To add to his list of reasons to cry, Stephen’s worst case scenario comes to fruition: the golden boy took his 4th immunity necklace of the season back to camp, after beating only Keith, when every other tribe member gave up their right to play in lieu of shelter. Well, hey, at least they got an extreme-home-makeover shelter edition, right?

With Joe sitting pretty, Stephen set his sights on Ciera, but meanwhile, Spencer was leading a charge to catch the fish and gut him. Ouch! Too far? Stephen nearly got blindsided, but then (gasps) Jeremy played one of his two hidden immunity idols – on Stephen, saving him – earning his undying love and loyalty – and sending fierce, aggressive fighter Ciera packing.

In hour two, the momentum was building. Stephen was finally going to slay his great white whale. Call me, Fishmael! Joe lost his first immunity challenge of the season (props to Spencer), Fisbach had his secret vote stealing advantage, and the numbers…or so he thought. He appeared confident going into tribal council, and illustrated that further as he stole Joe’s vote and proudly looked to camera, marinating in the moment of sending him home…but, of course, his advantage was cursed and backfired on him. The votes were read, jaws were dropped, and Stephen had his torch snuffed for the first time.

On this week’s episode of Post Tribal, Parvati co-hosts with another winner, Survivor: Africa“s Ethan Zohn (Holy old-school!), while Erin Cebula is away in Bahamas on assignment. Parvati and Ethan catch up with Ciera to find out if she realized what a huge threat she was perceived as by her tribe mates, would she have turned on Abi-Maria and Wentworth if need be? and what her mother, Laura, thought of her second time around. Plus, Stephen also catches us up to speed on his Survivor mind-set and answers some burning questions like: Why did they split the vote? Would he have taken Jeremy to the end? And where does he stand with Spencer after he turned on him and put his blindside in motion?
