'Survivor: Winners at War' Episode 6

Wow! What an amazing episode of Survivor tonight! First off, nice choice to the new Yara tribe. Taking out Boston Rob was absolutely the right move. He's a brilliant player, but he should've known that with returning winners, the "buddy system" is less likely to work as effectively, only adds negativity and hatred, as was shown when everyone voted him out. And now, Sophie & Sarah are running the show. And, seems Ben really wants to get with them while Adam, maybe a little left out, but, maybe not, who knows? Meanwhile at the Edge, The original power couple of Rob & Amber are reunited and now, a game of finding the advantage to sell. Everyone's gonna search to see if they can get their next fire token. They looked and looked, but ultimately, through some trickery and sneakiness, Tyson found an idol nullifier that he had to sell to someone and he sold it to someone that he figured would buy it, Parvati, and she did. And how did Tyson celebrate his one fire token? Buying and hiding some peanut butter from everyone to enjoy during his time on the Edge. Sneaky work, Tyson. But, more food than your compatriets will get and maybe, just maybe, it'll be enough calories to boost up your chances of winning that future challenge to get you back in the game.

At the reward/immunity challenge, Dakal and Sele watched as Yara came in without Boston Rob, much to everyone's surprise. Nobody seemed to expect that, but they did it. The Robfather is gone. And even more surprises, only one tribe will win sending the other two tribes to tribal council separately. Two people will go to the Edge of Extinction. But not only will the winners be safe, but they also will enjoy (as Sophie predicted) PB & J! And as for the main challenge, the tribes swam, climbed over walls, carried bags and used the balls in those bags to solve a table maze. It was hard, long, but the underdogs, Yara managed to beat Dakal and Sele, sending both of them to separate tribal councils.

Back at Sele, one thing was very clear. Parvati was going home. And Michele wanted to stay in the game, so she spoke with Wendell, considered her options and let him know that she's gonna vote him to get Parvati's tokens and of course, Wendell wasn't cool with that. And that's when Michele realized, she had to get her ex boyfriend out of the game and sent to the Edge. And after Parvati spoke with him, he asked her for two fire tokens in order to vote with her. She refused, but used his information to lure Nick. Nick was shocked by it and spoke with Michele as well. Nick's #1 ally, Wendell could've been bought with fire tokens to turn on his alliance. That's not a very nice thing to do to your allies. So, Nick has new options.

As for Dakal, started out as maybe Jeremy & Denise can woo Kim or she'll vote with Sandra & Tony. But then, insanity ensued. Out of pure paranoia, Tony went missing. He went off to build his spy shack near the water well and suddenly, nobody could find him. Was it a good move? Probably not, because now everyone is more scared of him. He's been playing such a good game so far and now, back to eavesdropping but, everyone knows that he could be listening. So, he may have just put a target on his back. However, Denise & Jeremy could still have targets on their own backs. And they are both willing to vote each other out, bringing back very familiar feelings to Denise's original season, Survivor: Philippines when she and her former ally, Malcolm were trying to take each other out at the final 4 with Skupin & Lisa in the middle. But now, it could be neither Denise or Jeremy, I don't know.

But, Tony came back and now, Denise vs Jeremy seems more likely. And Jeremy has the advantage of possibly using his advantage to walk out without being eliminated and Denise has one idol. But also, Sandra made Denise an offer. She'll sell Denise her idol for two tokens and in return, don't take herself or Kim out, just Tony or Jeremy. Denise was very suspicious of this offer so she made her own offer. She'll give her one token at camp and then another afterwards, just to make sure it's a real idol. So, things are getting crazier. Who knows what will happen?

At Sele's tribal council, the talk was mainly about Wendell's gameplay. Playing hard and being willing to backstab, but also being honest. This didn't sit well with Parvati who revealed the conversation and the conversation turned into talking about how Wendell is. It was an insane topic that surprised Yul and could've shaken everything up. But, Wendell's offer still stood. Though, it didn't happen and while it seemed that his allies would've punished him for his gameplay, Wendell stayed and Parvati was voted out, leaving while giving her tokens to Michele.

At Dakal's tribal council, the talk was mostly about threats vs non-threats/original Sele vs original Dakal. Despite all this, the vote happened. And Denise played Sandra's idol, as promised. But, just to keep her alliance secure, she also played her own idol for Jeremy, much to everyone's surprise. And in a bigger surprise, Denise's sole vote, the only vote that counted, blindsided Sandra herself. Denise, the only "non-threat" on the tribe took out arguably the biggest threat that this season had to offer. The Queen of Survivor, the only two-time winner blindsided on Day 16 by her own idol. A legendary betrayal and if her original win didn't cement it, Denise has officially become a legend and a "threat" just by this one move. But, still didn't get her token back. Sandra left her tokens to Yul.

Overall, just wow. This has been an amazing and maybe even legendary episode of Survivor tonight. I cannot wait to see what happens next week when Wendell keeps trying to work with Michele and Jeremy considers taking out another big threat in Tony.
