Survivor Philippines, episode 13, air date Dec. 12, 2012
upon returning from tribal council, abi finally shows some graciousness and thanks the group for not sending her home. and malcolm pets her on the head like a dog. what abi doesn't get is that carter was only voted out because he was a threat at challenges. thankfully malcolm is always thinking and is reading into lisa's comments at tribal about taking someone to the final who she can beat - that would not be malcolm! and probably not denise. hopefully the two of them can work out a plan that ensures they will make it to the end. i don't care who the final three are as long as malcolm and denise are there.
abi tries to plant seeds of doubt with lisa that she is the low man in their 4-way alliance. lisa doesn't believe a word she says but she's playing abi well, keeping her close in case she needs her. lisa is still talking about when to make her "big move." i'm not sure if she knows but there's only a few days left!
#rewardchallenge - race up and down a slide into the ocean and grab two bundles of rings. throw and hook the rings on 5 pegs to win reward. winner gets to take two buddies along with him. this slide is kicking lisa's ass as she comes tumbling down, end over side over butt. skupin and malcolm lead this challenge early on. it's neck and neck between these two but skupin takes the win. after his win, abi demands a hug. maybe she's hoping some hoochie hoochie get her a spot on the reward chopper. skupin picks malcolm and denise to join him and gives his share of tribe food to denise and offers to do her dishes. "poor" abi got nothing and seems heartbroken. hey remember a few episodes ago when you hated skupin so much you wanted him gone and tried to kill him with a coconut? you reap what you sow!
back at camp abi says she's "crushed" and "really heartbroken" that she wasn't chosen to go on reward. what made her think that any one of the other four players would pick her to go??? she already knows (and has reminded us several times) that she is unlikable. then she disses denise, calling her terrible and wonders why no one likes her. meanwhile, denise is just tolerating her, listening to her babble about being the swing vote (??? is she delusional or just saying it in hopes of convincing people?) and her hidden immunity idol, blah blah blah. shut. up.
PLEASE let denise win immunity...or malcolm win so he can give one to denise. please.
what they played for: helicopter ride to a boat ride with pizza, soda and shark watching (and chocolate chip cookies!). skupin calls soda "pop". i often wonder if the majority of the U.S. says "soda" or "pop"? my friend from chicago laughed at me when i said "soda." she said "you sound so old fashioned!" really? I sound old fashioned??
anyway...
apparently skupin doesn't normally consume sugar but now he's had 4 sodas and is acting like a drunk chick at a bar (malcolm's words, not mine) and daring lisa to eat pizza off a flipper. then they go swimming with a HUGE whale shark and since the sea creatures are also aware of skupin's affinity for injury, the shark gives him a little bump for good measure. strategy talk starts and malcolm says he wants to cut denise out - what?! say it ain't so! come on, they've had a tight alliance since the beginning, they even hugged on it.
is denise having a heart attack? eek, it looks like she got bit by something really nasty, looking at the fang marks on her neck (edward?). dammit, i hope this doesn't force her out of the game, leaving abi in the final four. but instead of consulting medical, why don't we just pray on it?
#immunitychallenge - walk across a rope bridge by moving wood planks, grab maze pieces along the way, put the maze puzzle together and get a ball through the maze. everyone is neck in neck until malcolm falls off and has to go back to the beginning of the rope bridge and start all over again and it takes him FOREVER to catch up with everyone else at the puzzle phase. denise is the only one who is close to completing the maze but is still a few pieces off - go denise! then out of nowhere, malcolm destroys the puzzle and has the ball through before anyone even knows what hit them. malcolm now has double immunity, what will he do with it? could he possibly sniff out lisa's plan to keep abi and give immunity to denise?
as soon as they get back, skupin tries to throw himself in the fire again. oh, and abi starts scrambling to make a deal with lisa & skupin to take her to the end because they would have a better chance to win.
tribal council:
- as usual, everything is laid out on the table during tribal. there are no secrets here, not with abi-maria around!
- abi comes out and tells everyone that they should vote out denise because she's impossible to beat. malcolm is listening intently to all this. PLEASE give denise your HII!
- oh wait, abi's not done. she tells skupin point blank that he will not win a million dollars, he's an idiot and a moron (twice). that's a sure way to secure any deal you may have made with him. duh.
- and after abusing skupin abi calls denise a terrible person. denise, who seems like the most level-headed and even-keeled person in this game. how can she not hear herself? she's so loud!
- penner gives everyone the finger but i'm guessing it's directed towards lisa and skupin.
- 1 vote denise, 4 votes abi. so long bitchy lady! god i'm so happy i don't have to hear her mouth again until the final tribal.
and with that, poisonous abi is finally, FINALLY gone...as skupin skips and dances away from tribal council. previews show denise plotting against malcolm so i guess everyone is in this game to win. yay, finally.
