One week till the finale as Survivor 50 has set its final five on a very somber night with the happenings of this episode.
The episode opens up with Cirie upset with the votes that went against her. She is also upset when she learns of Ozzy being voted out and the info she gets from Rizo on why it happened. Rizo tells her that he basically laid out the whole game outing everything. Cirie is annoyed with Ozzy saying what was he doing???? Jonathan is happy with al the tribal councils with who went home and the advantages that got flushed. Aubry is also happy with the results of Ozzy going home and that she was able to get the ball rolling on making it happen.
Day 22 opens up with Devens waking up at dawn going and looking for an idol. The camp realizes he’s gone and Jonathan goes out gluing himself to Devens like his shadow. We get to the immunity challenge and it’s the classic letter block stacking with a rope challenge. I always enjoy this one. Joe went slow and steady with his strategy and it paid off big. He really wasn’t in trouble throughout. Some would hurry and got close at times but then would drop their stack. He is able to pick two people to take on the reward for winning. He picks Cirie and Rizo and he says he picked Rizo cause Rizo hadn’t gotten to eat with a reward yet. In Joe’s confessionals, he said it was a strategic move on who he picked saying he picked Cirie cause of all the game connections that she has and he picked Rizo to keep him on his good side especially with him having an idol. At the reward, they all agree that Devens is the move for the vote this time. Rizo says he may not have to play his idol yet again when talking in confessional. Back at camp, the talk is about Rizo being picked for having not eaten yet when they point out that he got to eat at the auction and didn’t eat what he had there. Tiffany and Devens talk about Rizo with Tiffany saying how long are we going to let Rizo slide with having an idol. Devens talks to Aubry about what Tiffany is saying about Rizo. Aubry talks in confessional about how that is the type of player that she wants to sit next to at the end saying nobody will vote for him and how she wants to keep him around cause of that. Tiffany pitches to Jonathan with wanting to target Rizo again mentioning how long are we going to let him ride with that idol. Tiffany and Jonathan then talk to Cirie about it. Cirie is a no in her confessional saying she can’t lose her top allies back to back. Cirie pushes Devens as the vote. Cirie talks in confessional that she’s going to help Rizo as long as she can as long as it doesn’t hurt her own game. We get to trial council. Emotional tribal council as Devens reflects on his Survivor experience and the power of being out there in Fiji. Devens does play his shot in the dark but he isn’t safe. Rizo does not play his idol again. Devens ends up being voted out on a 6-0 vote.
Day 23 opens up with Tiffany still frustrated that Rizo still has not played his idol with saying she wants it flushed. We see Rizo talking at camp about how he thinks he could go another round without playing his idol. Aubry talks of how she’s concerned about Tiffany getting to the end and being someone that would be tough to beat with a vote. Jonathan hears this from Aubry and Jonathan goes and tells Rizo about the Tiffany target. He tells Rizo to not tell Cirie cause Cirie will tell Tiffany. Rizo does tell Cirie but also says it in the same way of I’m telling you this but you can’t tell Tiffany about this info. We get to the immunity challenge which ends up being Tiffany against the world. The final part of the challenge is a word puzzle with trying to figure out the word that needs to be spelled. You also have to spell it and make sure it is readable on both sides of the word blocks. Joe and Jonathan get to the puzzle part and are confused trying to figure out the word. Rizo also gets there along with Aubry. They figure out the word which is “inconceivable” but Joe and Jonathan can’t figure out how to spell it. While everyone is talking and helping one another, Tiffany isn’t talking to anyone and is full focused. She does it all on her own winning it herself. Awesome win by her. Loved watching her win it on her own especially when she knew she had to win here. She had to beat teamwork too. Back at camp, Aubry is mad at herself for helping the others with her saying in confessional that she felt like she would have won if she’d used the time to focus on her own puzzle. Aubry is ready to go for Cirie. Rizo seems ready to turn on Cirie here. Cirie talks to Tiffany with Cirie saying that she thinks she’s in trouble and needs a plan. She also tells Tiffany that Tiffany was the plan if she hadn’t won. Cirie wants to target Aubry. Cirie talks to Jonathan telling him that she knew about the Tiffany plan and that there was a rat in their camp. She says it was Aubry that told her about it. Jonathan tells Joe that Cirie knew about the Tiffany plan and that Aubry was the one who told her. Joe questions Aubry who denies it. Rizo is told but Rizo says in confessional that he obviously can’t say anything about it saying it was masterful of Cirie to pin it on Aubry. We get to tribal council where it’s clear that the target it is either Cirie or Aubry. Rizo again does not play his idol. Cirie is voted out on a 4-2 vote with the two votes from Cirie and Tiffany going to Aubry. Sad to see Cirie go. Definitely a somber mood in the Survivor community tonight where it was just sadness seeing her not make it to the end. Classy exit from her as was the exit from Devens earlier too. Cirie also got to say “the tribe has spoken” herself. That gets us to the final five for next week for the finale of Survivor 50.
