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

Previously on SURVIVOR!
The Chumba tribe makes it back to camp and Tebow and Avery start to make a fire. Jenner walks up to Avery and says, “You’re welcome.” “We could have sent you home, but we thought it’d be a better idea to trim the fat. That’s why you’re still here you cancer,” Jenner spits out before walking away.

Watching the entire scene, Brandi, Misty and Kerri wonder if Jenner is really someone they want in with them. “Maybe we jumped in a little early with Bruce.” Misty is concerned.
“You think we could dump him once the merge happens?” asks Walsh.
“Who do we replace him with,” asks Brandi.
“Anybody!” Misty answers.

The reward challenge will be a race to roll giant beach balls over a course and knock over pins and race back to let the next member go to push another ball and knock over another set of pins. First team to knock all of the pins over wins. The two teams break apart and Tebow will go first for Chumba, TO first for Wumba. Tebow FLYS down the course like a man possessed and races back. Sergio is having a little trouble steering, but he is close to the pins. Tebow is FLYING down the course. Sergio knocks two over and the third is wobbling….TEBOW gives the ball one final shove and the last pin falls. CHUMBA EDGES OUT WUMBA

On Exile, Nash is trying to start a fire, but it is beginning to rain. Nash knows that Hogan has the idol (or so he thinks) so he reads the clue, goes to the tree and finds no idol. “Cool, just HANGING in the rain. Yeehaw.”
At Wumba camp, Hogan and Beard are talking and they try to go after Sergio, but without Nash, things don’t go well. Hogan tries to take the lead, but it doesn’t go well. He is sort of a bafoon. Beard tries to run damage control, but it doesn’t work. Meanwhile, TO and Danica catch up with Sergio and he admits that he might side with them vs siding up with Hogan.
“I am popular today,” Sergio smiles in a confessional.
Probst welcomes everyone in for the immunity challenge. the tiebreaker is that Hogan and Tebow will Sumo each other. Hogan starts to trash talk Tebow by telling him he will take it easy on him when Tebow puts Hogan into the shoulder cradle, then swings him into a body slam, STRAIGHT INTO THE WATER. CHUMBA WINS! Replay shows Tebow just plain PICKING UP HULK AND THROWING HIM OFF THE DOCK INTO THE WATER. Tebow is going nuts as is Chumba. Hogan is in disbelief in the water. Wumba is depressed. Probst reminds a wet Wumba that they will have tribal council tonight.
At Wumba camp, TO and Sergio agree that Sergio is on board. Nash comes over as TO hurries away. Nash tries to talk Sergio into joining up and they will vote off Hogan. “But he has the immunity idol, so we’ll have to get him to think that we are going with Danica. That way we’ll blindside him.” Sergio thinks they should try and get the idol away from Hogan first. “Do that, and I’m in.”
As Nash walks away, Hogan runs to TO and Danica. “I heard that you two told Sergio that Nash was the target? You three vs. us three and Nash makes fire against one of you three…unless I swap over. I will vote with you to take out Nash. That sound like a plan?”
TO and Danica look at each other surprised and TO says, “You got it BROTHER!” They laugh, Hogan not as much as he doesn’t like to be mocked. Sixth vote and next person voted out: Hulk Hogan.
Hogan tries to use the fake idol but Probst says it is too late, “And by the way, that is a fake idol,” Probst reveals. Danica raises her eyebrows as Amanda shoots Nash and look and he nods. They know. Hogan walks away and is pissed. “Thanks guys. I should have known.”

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

Day 13
In Wumba camp, Nash and Beard retire to a separate area from TO and Danica. Sergio is caught in the middle and he sleeps in the hammock. Beard and Nash discuss the potential that Sergio is playing them AND playing TO and Dancia. “Well there is no debate that Danica and TO are in together,” Nash points out.
“Do you think it was smart cutting loose Hogan?” Beard asks.
“From a strictly selfish standpoint, YES. YES I DO,” Nash laughs. “He was trying to vote me out Mandy.”
Meanwhile TO and Danica are huddled around the fire. “So is Sergio aboard?” Danica asks TO.
“He was tonight,” TO responds.
“But the other two voted him out too? Why would they do that?” Danica wonders.
“Nash did it because he was about to be rubbed out. He had to turn because otherwise he was gone.”
Sergio peaks at both duos before placing his head back on the hammock.

Over in Chumba camp the next morning, Tebow and Ichiro are racing on the sand. Tebow then starts lifting logs to try and keep in shape. “Tim, don’t you think you should calm down? You might hurt yourself man,” Misty begs the mealticket to stop.
“I’m fine Misty. The Lord will take care of me. He gives me strength and through Him, anything is possible,” Tebow shoots back without looking up.
“just take it a little easier Tim,” Kerri pleads.
May and Walsh walk off, shaking their heads worried he will hurt himself.
Bruce meanwhile is again picking at Avery. “Sean, you claim you are a good teammate, then how come none of your tribemates can stand you?”
“What are you talking about Bruce?” Avery quizzes. “I think Tim likes me, Ich is cool with me. Brandi and Misty don’t mind me. Kerri doesn’t care one way or another. It is like YOU are the only one that cannot stand me. And that’s because you are jealous that I don’t have my face botoxed to the max,” Avery retorts.
“There is no need for that Avery. This team will be 490X better once you are gone. Count on it!” Bruce predicts.
“Random number there Bruce. You are such a toolbox,” Avery yaps.
Bruce pac-macs his hands to mock Avery.
“What is that Bruce?” Avery asks. “You are freaking juvenile.”
Brandi returns with tree mail. “Guys, we have mail,” Brandi announces. The rewards challenge will be a relay race over an obstacle course, across planks and through water.
Tebow is psyched. He starts cutting and racing harder. “Tim, CALM DOWN!” Misty yells but Tebow is too far away to hear.

Commercial.. Just because it is Easter DOESN’T mean Fletcher is taking Sunday off! Tune in this Sunday from 10-1 on 790 the zone for Fletcher’s take on everything from the Masters to the NCAA tournament.

“Welcome tribes! Chumba getting a chance to see the new Wumba tribe. Hulk Hogan going home at the last tribal council,” Jeff Probst announces. Bruce Jenner is ALL smiles. Probst explains the relay race: over some beams/planks, through a sand pit, over a water trap, climb up and down some ramps and race to the finish. Chumba will have to lend Wumba one member. If Chumba wins, that survivor still gets the reward; if Wumba wins that Survivor gets to partake in it as well. Brandi is voted to switch over.

As they begin the order is decided for Wumba: Beard, Chastain, TO, Danica, Sergio, Nash. For Chumba May, Walsh, Ichiro, Jenner, Avery Tebow. Survivors ready….go!
Beard and May are neck and neck before Beard begins to pull away. Beard finishes about two second before May. Walsh takes off, trailing Chastain but Brandi is too fast. Brandi manages to increase the lead a bit, about 4 seconds ahead of Walsh. TO is off, but Ichiro more than catches up. He passes TO and gives Jenner a healthy lead. Danica eventually gets to start but Jenner is still in pretty decent shape. He finishes and Avery starts about 11 seconds ahead of Sergio. Avery and Sergio manage to keep the pace and Tebow is ready to start, about 15 seconds ahead of Nash. Tebow is BLOWING THROUGH THE COURSE and is more than halfway done before Nash even starts. Nash is still running hard but it looks like it won’t matter. Tebow is still pumping hard when he pulls up and grabs his hamstring. Tebow falls to the beach and Nash realizes what is going on. He starts to book it even faster. Tebow stands up and is trying to limp run but he falls again. He is crawling when Nash hits the beach. Will Nash catch up? Tebow stands up again and limp runs after seeing how close Nash is…Tebow crosses the line and collapses yet again. He is holding his hammy. Probst announces that Chumba has won but he wonders if Tebow needs medical attention. “If you need it Tim, you would have to leave the game,” Probst warns.
“I’m fine,” a pained Tebow lies. He is up and limping around. Probst asks who is going to exile and Chumba picks Danica. Wumba is dismissed. The reward ends up being letters from home. Everyone breaks away to read his/her own letter.
May gets one from her baseball playing hubby. Walsh gets one from her hubby. Tebow gets a letter from Urban Meyer. Jenner gets one from Brody. Chastain gets one from her daughter. Ichiro gets one from his translator. Sean Avery gets one from his father. Chastain cries. Tebow smiles at Urban saying that he would be nothing with Tebow. Bruce starts to cry but Avery warns that it might mess up his botox. Everyone gets together and shares their letters.

Back at Wumba camp, TO and Sergio are talking when Nash steps in. Nash wants to know if Sergio wants to talk. “Maybe in a minute,” Sergio says.
Nash walks away to find Amanda. Meanwhile Sergio and TO are discussing how rude that was. “He knows that he might be next,” TO hypothesized.
“I don’t think I’d vote him out next. We would need him for the final tribal challenge,” Sergio corrects.
“No way man. We could lose and then vote out Amanda,” TO fires back.
“And go into the merge with only a group of three vs 7 other Chumba people? Yeah right!” Sergio exclaims. He gets up to walk away.
“Serge, you don’t get it. We have a loose affiliation with the merge. We have to be on our own once we get there!” But Sergio is gone.
Nash and Amanda are in discussion about what they are going to do about being down in their own tribe 3-2. “We HAVE to win otherwise we are gone. We’re down 3-0 in a seven-game series,” Amanda admits.
“It isn’t good. I can work on Sergio. Get us to our side. We need to just win ONE because I KNOW we can get him with us for the vote. I KNOW we can.”
At that moment Sergio walks up. “Guys, let me be honest with you. I was voting with TO and Danica last time. But they aren’t looking at the big part of the game. They just don’t see it. At least TO doesn’t. So I’m with you guys. Done and done.” Sergio shakes Nash’s hand and Amanda breaks into a smile.

In Chumba camp Bruce is complaining that Sean ruined his letter from Brody. “What did he write about his Bromance?” Avery mocks.
“It was a letter from my son who I love. Why do you have to mock that?” Bruce asks.
“Jenn baby. Let it go!” Avery barks before heading to the river.
“Keep it up you Cancer! We will cut you out of this tribe!” Bruce threatens.
May and Chastain grab Jenner and tell him to stop talking about the plans of the Femme Fatals. “What are you talking about? Everyone knows about us!” Jenner snipes.
“You don’t need to run our business out in the air like that Bruce. Eventually the serfs always overthrow the monarchy,” May sighs.
“You are worried about Sean Avery? He is an a$$hole,” Bruce finishes and walks off.
“We have to do something about him,” Brandi whispers to May. Walsh has joined the group.
“It is too late. What are we going to do now?” Walsh asks.
“He will be loyal. If we send him home, we lose the numbers. We NEED that foursome before the merge,” May agrees.
“I don’t like him. I think he might be the downfall. We’ll be voted out if we are targeted before he is voted out. The others know they will beat him. If they want to take a shot at the group, they are coming after one of us.” With this Brandi leaves and May and Walsh shrug at each other.
Tebow is getting a rubdown from Ichiro. Tebow is clearly in pain. Avery is standing beside and is worried about MealTicket’s leg. “Dude, are you going to be able to run?”
“I don’t know right now. It is in the Lord’s hands right now,” Tebow answers Avery.
“Jesus, Tim. Enough of all of the God-speak,” Jenner complains. “How is he?” Jenner asks Avery. Avery doesn’t look at Jenner but says, “He’ll be fine once the game starts.”
Jenner leaves and Avery apologizes to Tebow.
“You don’t need to apologize Sean. He was the one who said it.” Tebow is CLEARLY in pain though.

Probst welcomes the two tribes in. Danica returns from exile. This will be an event where the two tribes will build rafts, go out and get puzzle pieces then come back and solve the puzzle. Only one member can go out and get the puzzle pieces and the other tribe will choose who that is. The rest build the rafts and put the puzzle together. Wumba picks Tebow while Chumba picks Danica. Ready, go. Tebow is in pain just standing up as his crew builds the raft. Wumba works surprisingly well together and get the boat to Danica about three or four seconds after Tebow is given his raft. Tebow is struggling to get the boat going across the bay. Danica is struggling as well and it is a wonder if EITHER will make it to the other side. Finally Tebow hits the shore and starts to get the puzzle. He is limping when Danica arrives. Danica runs past Tebow and grabs the pieces. She starts back and gets a good lead by the time Tebow makes it to the pieces. He finally gets it and returns across the beach in big time hurt. He makes it to the raft, but Danica is halfway across the bay. Tebow is gutting it out and manages to gain a little ground. Danica hits the beach and Wumba starts making the puzzle. Tebow finally hits the sand and Ichiro runs and grabs the puzzle pieces. Wumba is having trouble with three of the 8 pieces. Chumba lucks into part of it and they immediately catch up. Just when it looks like Chumba will pull victory out, Wumba unintentionally solves the puzzle. Probst declares Wumba the winner. Tebow hangs his head. Wumba celebrates and Probst reminds Chumba this will be their second trip to Tribal council.

Tebow makes it back to camp and he is wondering aloud if he can go on. Avery convinces him that he can, but Tebow isn’t so sure. Jenner tries to tell Avery that if Tim wants to go home, let him. “We get to stay!” Jenner argues.
“I’d rather have Tim on ONE LEG than you Bruce!” Avery yells.
“You just wrote your own death note! Good bye Sean!” Jenner threatens before leaving.
“Sean, I don’t want you to go when I should. I think I’ll just give in,” Tim offers.
“Not yet. Let me talk to some folks,” Avery pats Tebow on the leg.
Avery approaches Misty and Brandi and asks where their head is right now. They evade the question and then ask about Tebow. “Can he still go? Is he thinking about going home?”
“He is weighing his options right now. He doesn’t want to go, but he doesn’t want to hurt the team,” Avery answers. “Are you guys really strong with Bruce? I mean really strong with him?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about Sean,” Misty laughs. “Come on Brandi, let’s leave Sean to concoct more theories.” Misty leaves but Brandi sticks around.
“I know Kerri and Misty are tight with Bruce. I shouldn’t be telling you this. We might not totally be on board with Bruce. That’s all I am saying.”
“Does that mean you could go Bruce?” Avery calls out but Brandi doesn’t respond.
Brandi approaches Misty and Kerr who are with Bruce. “We go Avery tonight. Write it down. Done.” The group breaks up and Brandi shakes her head.

The Chumba tribe arrives at tribal council and Probst asks Tebow about his leg. “I mean, it hurts and I just don’t want to hurt this team. If my tribemates vote me off, I accept that.”
“do you want to leave Tim?” Probst asks.
“If my tribe sends me home, that’s fine, but I don’t want to leave,” Tebow says.
“Should he leave Bruce,” Jeff asks. Bruce goes on and on about being a team but Avery cuts him off. “Bruce maybe you should just shut your mouth. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. A one-legged Tebow is better than you!”
“Shut it cancer. This is about Tebow,” Bruce fires back.
Hey guys, let’s just do the vote,” Probst says, trying to calm down the fighting.
“I’ve tallied up the votes. Once the results are read, the person voted out must leave immediately. First vote: Sean. Second vote: Sean. Two votes Sean. Third vote: Bruce. Two for Sean one for Bruce. Next vote: Bruce. That’s two for Sean one two for Bruce. Next vote: Avery. Three votes Sean, two for Bruce. One more and Sean goes home. Next vote…Bruce. Three Sean and three Bruce. Final vote and next Survivor going home, Bruce.”
Bruce, Misty and Kerri look shocked while Brandi looks at the ground. Tebow is smiling and Avery looks at Brandi. She doesn’t look back. Ichiro pats Tebow on the back.
“The OLDEST remaining Survivor heads home. This is a young person’s game. Grab your torches and head back to camp.”

On the next Survivor: Cuba.
Tebow is still limping but he is mobile. Kerri and Misty ask Brandi why she turned and she ignores them. Beard knows Danica has the idol and confronts her. Sergio stumbles across something in Danica’s bag on his way to go fish.
