Survivor: Cuba, battle of the Sports Stars Episode three

AhhhhhhhhhhuhhhhhhhhAHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, ooohdelah, ohdelAHHH ohdelay ohdelay AH aaaa ahh yah a a yah…

Previously on SURVIVOR!
The Chumba tribe saw Rebecca approach Tebow about an alliance. “I was wondering though how you felt about us possibly teaming up? Everybody needs a partner in this game, a team, and I thought I’d reach out to you,: Lobo levels with the Heisman winner.
In a confessional Lobo admits, “He is the youngest out here and the most dominant. I’d be stupid not to try and hitch my wagon to his star. I am a former women’s basketball player. You’ve seen the WNBA. We are all gangally out there.”
“Thanks Rebecca, but I think it is a little too early to be thinking about that stuff. When we get to the merge I think is when we’ll have to start worrying about that. We just need to take care of our business out there and we’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”
In his own confessional Tebow unveils his alliance. “I didn’t want to tell Becca but I’m already in an alliance. I’ve got the Holy Trinity on my side with God, His son Jesus and the Holy Spirit. That’s all I need.”
In Wumba, TO and Maria are watching the Hulk/Beard/Nash team. “Could they BE any more obvious with their alliance?” Maria asks.
“That’s why we are playing it right, keeping Danica away from us until it is time to tell her who to vote for.” TO nods at his own idea.
In the rewards challenge, Tebow holds the most weight and TO costs his team the reward by showboating. This upsets Hulk who wants TO gone. Meanwhile even the winners find some drama when Sean Avery, Rebecca Lobo and Bruce Jenner get into over the rice.
In the immunity challenge, the Chumba tribe once again wins immunity and Wumba must vote out another one of its members. In a surprise twist, Nash gets floater Sergio to go along and save Hogan by sending Maria home.

AhhhhhhhhhhuhhhhhhhhAHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, ooohdelah, ohdelAHHH ohdelay ohdelay AH aaaa ahh yah a a yah…
Chumba Tribe….Tim Tebow, Brandi Chastain, Sean Avery, Ichiro, Bruce Jenner, Rebecca Lobo, Misty May, Kerry Walsh. Wumba Tribe…Amanda Beard, Steve Nash, Danica Patrick, Sergio Garcia, Hulk Hogan, TO

Day 7.
Beard and Nash are checking tree mail when Hogan runs up behind them. “Hey Nash. How’d you get Sergio to come over? Is he a part of us now?” Hogan asks.
“Listen Hulk, you’d better be glad I got him on board for that vote. You’d have been gone. I did some sweet talking to save your butt. I don’t think he’s with us, but he does have immunity from our side on the next vote,” Nash responds.
“What, whoa wait!” Hogan starts.
“Hulk, you need to shut up dude. If not for him, you’d be at home. I got him to go with us by saying we wouldn’t write his name down at the next council.”
In a confessional, Nash seems a tad annoyed with Hulk. “I don’t know why he is talking. He gets saved and he is all ‘is he in? is he out?’ Shut up Hulkster. You can EASILY be replaced.”

TO and Danica are walking together and TO seems a bit lost without Maria. Danica isn’t much consolation. “I didn’t see that one. I guess I should have thought maybe, but I didn’t think they could pull Sergio.”
“They had to have thought that maybe I had the idol, otherwise I think I’d have been the target,” Danica reasons.
“We need to see where Sergio’s head is at right now. I think they like me as a competitor and you could have the idol so I think they target Sergio next.”
“Well then should we stay away?”
“No I think we need him on our side and we go after Hulk again,” TO ends the talk.

In Chumba camp, Tebow is praying while Ichiro is walking in his zen garden. Lobo and Jenner are eating rice that Avery provided. Ichiro finally walks over and Lobo tries to talk to him.
“So Ich, how are you going?” Lobo starts. Ichiro just looks blankly at her.
“Are you having fun here?” Jenner tries. Ichiro cocks his head at Jenner.
“DO YOU WANT SOME RICE?” Lobo nearly shouts, very slowly. Nothing.
In confessional, Ichiro admits. “I understand what they are saying, I just have nothing to say to Rebecca Lobo or Bruce Jenner. Those two are the weak members of our team. I just don’t want anyone to think I am pals with them.”
Sean Avery sneers that maybe he doesn’t have anything to say to you two. “I don’t!”
“Then why did you just talk to us Sean?” Jenner asks.
“Why did you just talk to us?” Avery mimics.
“Are you serious?” Jenner asks.
“Are you serious?” Avery repeats.
“Great, my son is here!” Jenner sighs.
“Oh, is there an untalented socialite whore for the spotlight here?” Avery mockingly asks.
“Only you,” Lobo tries to cut him down.
“I’m sorry, I thought this was Survivor: Sports Stars. I didn’t realize mascots were allowed to compete.”
Tebow comes over and reminds people that they are teammates and should be more Christian towards each other.
Chastain, May and Walsh get Jenner and they go to seek water.
“Bruce, try and stay under the radar. Please,” May requests.
“I will not stand for that pondscum to make remarks like that,” Bruce defends himself.
“Bruce, he is writing his own ticket home. But if you jump in there like that, you are putting yourself potentially on the block with the other members of the tribe. You aren’t making friends,” Chastain explains.
“We need to fly under the radar as much as possible,” Walsh continues. “Stay low, pick off everyone else, make the merge in tact and get to the final four.”
“OK OK.” Bruce exhales.
In a confessional Bruce is clearly frustrated. “I am the greatest athlete in the world. I can speak my mind. I am an adult. I don’t need these three ladies pulling my strings. I’m no Pinocchio.”
Avery and Tebow are having words alone in the water.
“You know Sean, you could catch more flies with honey,” Tebow suggests.
“Timmy, I know how you play. This is how I play. I may be a pest, but my teammates love me. I don’t consider those two my teammates,” Sean explains.
“Sean, they are in this tribe, just as much as you are. You don’t want to alienate yourself. That could make your stay short once we merge.
“Well that’s when my team will have my back,” Avery counters.
“Not if you piss off everyone,” Tebow sighs.
“Timmy, let’s just win every challenge and not worry about it, huh?” Avery laughs.
“Alright!” Tebow agrees and they bump knuckles.

At the reward challenge, Jeff Probst welcomes the two tribes in and explains the game. The two teams will play in essence dodge ball. Each team will pick a thrower to aim with paint balls to try and knock out the other team. If you get knocked out, you get to help throw at the other team. The team that lasts the longest wins a special reward. Chumba must sit two players out, they elect to sit out Walsh and Lobo.
Tebow will throw for Chumba while Nash will throw for Wumba. Probst says go and Tebow fires two balloons and nails Hulk and Danica. Meanwhile Nash hits May but misses Jenner. Tebow fires next at Amanda Beard and hits her, but the paint doesn’t splatter. Nash evens it up with hitting Chastain but Tebow recaptures the lead by drilling Beard. Hulk splatters Jenner and Nash connects on Avery. Ichiro is the only one left for Chumba while Wumba has TO and Sergio. Tebow fires and hits Sergio while the crew is having trouble hitting Ichiro. He is just too fast. Avery and Jenner try to get TO to feed in close, but TO goes long, ONLY to get nailed by Tebow. CHUMBA WINS REWARD!
Probst reveals that instead of leaving with something new, Chumba will get to raid and take two items from Wumba’s camp. The Chumba tribe will send two members and each will grab one item to take back to Chumba camp. Chumba says that Tebow and Sean should go, but Tebow says that stealing is wrong and he won’t go and take anything from Wumba. “Alright, Sean and Rebecca will go,” Chastain says while rolling her eyes.
Probst then makes Chumba decide who is going to exile. “Easy,” Jenner says. “Hulk Hogan. See ya BROTHER!”
Hogan shakes his head, but Jenner mocks Hogan’s in-ring theatrics by pointing to exile.

Avery and Lobo head to Wumba camp and decide to take a bag of beans and the large pot, leaving just one bag of beans and the small pot.
“Dude, this is BULLCRAP!” Nash shouts.
“And they just smile as they take it away,” Sergio sneers.
TO waits for Avery and Lobo to leave and approaches Sergio and Nash. “So how about we go and get some stuff back?”
“What? What do you mean?” Nash asks.
“We go to their camp and steal some stuff back,” TO answers.
“That’s not a bad idea,” Nash says.
“We wait until nightfall, then make a raid of our own,” TO plots.
“It’s on like Donkey Kong.” Nash and TO bump knuckles. Sergio also likes the idea.

Nash tells Amanda of the plan. “That is genius,” Beard smiles.
“TO came up with it, and I like it,” Nash nods.
Meanwhile TO and Danica are walking alone. “We are going on a raid and I think we might have an ally with Nash. If we are at council, I think you should maybe float the fact that you have the idol and I’ll remind Nash that I came up with food. We would be safe. Plus I think that we might have Sergio on my side now. Hulk would be gone.
“Good work Terrell,” Danica praises.
“Well, I beat to my own beat sometimes. I LOVE ME SOME ME!”

Under the cover of nightfall, most of the Chumba tribe is asleep. TO, Sergio and Nash are hiding behind a tree. The fire is still going but Jenner seems asleep by the fire. TO and Nash find the bags or rice and grab both, leaving a small bag of beans plus the beans that were taken from Wumba. “I’m sick of beans. They can keep ‘em,” TO whispers to Nash.
“Grab some of those spices,” Nash instructs Sergio. TO has the rice, Sergio grabs about four jars of spices. Nash takes the coffee pot, coffee beans and a cup. The three bolt before anyone can wake up. Back at Wumba camp, they make a kitchen. The tribe now has four spices, rice, beans, and coffee. The entire Wumba tribe is pumped now.

The next morning, Avery goes to the kitchen to make everyone breakfast when he sees that the rice is gone, as is the coffee and most of the spices.
“Um Bruce. BRUCE! WAKE UP!” Avery shouts. Jenner mumbles something.
“WHERE IS OUR STUFF?” Avery shouts at Jenner.
“What are you talking about?” a tired Jenner asks.
“You were supposed to take care of the fire last night, right?” Avery questions as other tribemates now start heading over.
“Yeah.”
“Well our stuff is GONE,” Avery snaps.
“Are you sure?” Lobo asks.
“No, I’m not. Maybe we just put it under our invisible cloak!” Avery screams at Lobo.
“Holy crap, our coffee and our rice. They are gone,” May finally realizes.
“Freaking Wumba tribe. I KNOW they did this. TO and Sergio probably.” Avery figures.
“They were pissed when we left yesterday,” Lobo recalls.
“That’s OK guys. We’ve still got beans and some spices. Let’s just win the next few reward challenges and then in the merge, we knock every one of them OUT!” Tebow tries to comfort his tribe.
“Tim, you are turning the cheek way too fast,” Walsh says. “It’s OK for you to be pissed.”
“I’ll just take winning the next few challenges to getting revenge. Them going home, THAT’S my revenge,” Tebow says before walking off.

A exile, Hogan is searching for the idol under all of the Y shaped trees. He cannot seem to find it and is getting frustrated. Finally, he thinks he has something. He finds the fake idol that Danica left and studies it. “Is this it? Holy crap. Good job Hulkster.” Hogan finally decides it is an congratulates himself.

At the immunity challenge, the two tribes meet at the beach and Hogan winks at Amanda and Nash. Danica smiles at TO as they know what is going on: Hogan found the fake idol and thinks it is real.
Chumba meanwhile all seem to be giving Wumba an eat-sh!t look. Probst asks if everyone is eating well and the Chumba say that they bet Wumba is on THEIR RICE. TO wonders what they are talking about.
Probst gives the rules of the game: the teams will build human pyramids to get several flags at the top of different poles. The only problem, each survivor can only be used in two flag capturing missions and there are four poles with flags. Once all of the flags are captured, one team member will race across the water to the flag pole and raise the four flags on their correct poles and the first team to do so, wins immunity. Ready, GO!
The Wumba tribe decides that on the first, short pole, Danica will stand on Hulk’s shoulders. Chumba sends May up Lobo’s shoulders. On the second pole, Wumba has Sergio at the base, with Nash next and Beard on top gets the second. Chumba has Tebow at the bottom with Avery on top and Walsh on the top. On the third, Hulk and Sergio form the base with Beard and Danica on top. For Chumba, Jenner and Avery form a base with Ichiro and Lobo second sent May up top. On the last one, Nash and Jenner form the base with TO next on and TO climbs up the pole to grab the flag. Meanwhile, Tebow and Ichiro go with Walsh and Chastain, but Chastain falls. They try and the pyramid falls again. The Wumba tribe is sending TO across the water and he drops a flag. He realizes and races back. Tebow meanwhile just starts climbing the pole and grabs the final flag. He has it and grabs the rest of the flags and races across the water. TO has the flag and starts raising up the poles. Tebow has caught up and is trying to get the flags attached. TO has three and Tebow starts to work on his third. TO is having trouble getting it attached and Tebow is onto his fourth. He starts to raise the flag and the rope snaps. TO has the flag attached. He raises it and Tebow finally is able to jump and grab the broken rope, he starts to pull, but TO gets his flag to the top first and WUMBA wins immunity. Tebow falls to the ground and smacks the sand.
Probst says that Chumba will have its first tribal council while Wumba will all live to fight another day.

Commerical How are the brackets shaping up on the first annual Sportsbyfletch bracket challenge? Check in Monday for the results.

At Chumba camp, Tebow is mad at himself but Chastain is trying to tell him it isn’t his fault. “If that rope hadn’t snapped, we would have won.” Meanwhile Jenner and the Femme Fatals are discussing who might leave. “I vote for Avery. Guy is an ass,” Jenner argues.
“Bruce, you’ve got to let personal agendas go,” May says.
“Avery cooks the food. He is strong in the challenges, and he would be nice to go against in the final three,” Walsh says.
“Everyone is winning over him. You’d win over him in the final pairing, and you know it,” May finishes.
Tebow and Chastain are talking with Chastian pushing the Femme Fatals’ agenda. “Ichiro isn’t really a part of our tribe. But Avery is a cancer. What do you think Timmy?” Chastain asks.
“At this point, I think we should trim the fat. Ich is a good guy. Sean is a good guy. I think there are members of this tribe that are holding us back. I think that’s who I’ll vote out,” Tim says without mentioning who.

At tribal council, Probst asks what it feels like to be at tribal council for the first time. “It sucks,” answers Jenner.
“You guys have been so dominant, how does it feel to lose to a tribe that seems so dysfunctional in Wumba?” Probst probes.
“Those guys deserve credit. They came up with the idea to raid our camp and they used that good momentum to win a challenge,” Chastain says rather matteroffactly.
“You’d have thought that karma would have bitten them, but … They’ll get what is coming to them,” May says.
“Tim, you were pretty upset when TO beat up in that flag challenge,” Probst asks a clearly distraught Tebow.
Tebow is starting to tear up and is shaking his head. “I want to apologize to my tribe and just say this: I will work harder and push this team harder than ever. There has never been a tribe that has worked as hard as we will work and we won’t be denied. We will be successful and I promise that I will put everything onto my shoulders and this tribe will be the hardest working and we will finish this the right way. I promise you that and I promise my tribemates that,” Tebow spews, while wiping away tears.
OK, let’s vote. Probst goes to tally the votes
“you guys haven’t done this before, so I will tell you that once the votes are tallied, the Survivor voted out will leave council immediately.
First vote: Ichiro. Second vote: Rebecca. That’s one vote Ichiro, One Rebecca. Third vote: Bruce. Fourth vote: Rebecca. One Ichiro, One Bruce, Two Rebecca. Fifth vote: Rebecca. Three for Rebecca now. Sixth vote: Rebecca. One more and Rebecca is out. Seventh vote and third person voted off Survivor: Cuba…Rebecca.
Probst reminds her that the tribe has spoken. “Perhaps the fat has been trimmed, perhaps you guys will now be better off, but I tell you this: I wouldn’t want to be Tim Tebow’s enemy right now. You can grab your torches and head back to camp.

On the next Survivor: Cuba.
Tebow is a man possessed in the rewards challenge and he is shown on the beach running harder than ever. Nash and Beard as starting to rethink Hulk being in their three, perhaps Sergio would make a better third. TO and Danica are also making a play for Sergio. Tebow’s efforts are starting to scare the Femme Fatals who tell him to calm down some, otherwise he could hurt himself. In the immunity challenge, Tebow picks up Hulk and throws him off of a dock into the water.
