Warning: Here be series-wide spoilers!

PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: VANUATU…



LET’S GET THIS SHOW STARTED!

After Alinta get back from Tribal Council, Ami and Twila get into an argument over the #EpicBlindside that just happened. Meanwhile, Chris just sits back and watches in some dire need of popcorn.

Ami is disgusted over the fact that Twila swore on her son’s name over a promise she broke literally hours later, while Twila cusses out Ami and rants about how Ms. High-and-Mighty needed to be knocked off her perch.

It’s now Day 31! And everyone’s just got Tree Mail hinting a spa reward. Twila makes a comment about how Eliza needs this reward because she’s reduced to skin and bones at this point, and has been calling her Olive Oyl.

REWARD CHALLENGE!

It’s the Car Curse challenge! Our castaways must go through a floating obstacle course, first to retrieve three flags wins a Pontiac G6. The second and third placers get to join them on an overnight resort stay.

Off we go!

Can I just point out how cruel it is to make Scout walk a dozen floating balance beams with an artificial knee?

Anyway, Ami has a healthy lead on her way to getting the third flag, but suddenly finds herself unable to not fall off the canoe and Eliza ends up overtaking her.

Eliza wins reward! And no chance of winning the game now!

Ami finishes second and Chris edges out whatsherface (ed- Julie) to finish third, and get to enjoy the overnight trip!

Our lucky three arrive at the resort, and are immediately treated with a laundry service while they all take a well-needed shower.

While Chris endures a cold shower, Ami tries to work on damage control with Eliza, and things seem all flowers and sunshine again.

The three are greeted with a local band of musicians, and everyone is declaring it the best reward ever.

Dinner time! And everyone is happily eating like pigs. It isn’t long before Ami tries to weasel her way to another three days, and suggests to Chris and Eliza that they should try to split up the older women instead.

However, Chris sees right through her…

It’s now bedtime, and the two girls are sharing the big double bed while Chris is left sleeping on the couch. Ami tries to get in Eliza’s good books again, and Eliza does seem to be receptive to her persuasions at least.

Back at the Alinta camp, Scout is feeling very frustrated because she can’t keep up with everyone else in the challenges due to her artificial knee, especially since she was very athletic before the surgery.

Twila is worried that Ami is going to rope Eliza back into her alliance, but Scout isn’t too concerned because Chris is there at least.

It’s now Day 32! And our lucky three have arrived back at camp. The losers are relieved that they got a shower because Chris has bad BO apparently.

Ami all of a sudden sets her target on Scout for no real reason other than her not getting a vote up to this point.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!

It’s Survivor Shuffleboard! Each castaway gets five pucks. A puck on an island scores a point. The person with the most points wins immunity.

Off we go!

After three rounds…

In Round 4: Chris manages to knock one of Julie’s pucks and scores a point in the process. Eliza tries to score another point but knocks off one of her own pucks instead. The scores…

Final round: Scout manages to nudge one of her own pucks to score. Chris scores a third point. After Scout and Eliza miss, it’s down to Ami…

Chris wins immunity!

After everyone gets back to camp, Ami is feeling pretty crushed because this was a vital Immunity Challenge that she lost. She’s now relying on persuading Eliza to flip to force a tie vote.

And just as well, as Eliza is now in full paranoia mode that the older women won’t take her to the final three. What she doesn’t realise though, is that by forcing a tie vote, she runs the risk of forcing her, Twila and Julie to draw rocks, a possibility that Chris and Twila are fully aware of.

TRIBAL COUNCIL!

After Alinta take their seats, Jeff brings up the last Tribal Council. Ami says that she was really shocked that her close ally was blindsided.

Jeff then asks Scout what the hell Chris is still doing here in the game. She says she had to do something because she didn’t feel secure in her position in the Women’s Alliance.

Jeff then suggests to Ami that she’s vulnerable. She uses this opportunity to call out Twila for Songate. Twila cusses her out and defends herself by saying that everyone else has lied in this game. Ami then rebutts that by saying that swearing on your son’s name isn’t worth a million dollars.

Jeff then suggests to Eliza that Ami is simply being butthurt. Eliza rattles off about how she understands why Ami would be upset about the whole thing. Worryingly, she also says that she would miss her if she was next to go and the two girls start crying.

It’s time to vote!

Let’s read the votes! Who’s going to become the fourth member of our jury?

Ding dong the witch is dead!

See you guys for episode 13!
