Survivor: Cuba, battle of the Sports Stars Episode six

Previously on SURVIVOR!
TO and Danica are huddled around the fire. “So is Sergio aboard?” Danica asks TO.
“He was tonight,” TO responds.

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

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. 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
In Chumba camp Bruce is complaining that Sean ruined his letter from Brody. “What did he write about his Bromance?” Avery mocks.
“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.
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.
. 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.
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.

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

Day 16
In Chumba camp, Brandi is starting to make a fire and Avery is measuring out beans. Misty and Kerri are a little steamed about last night’s vote. They ask to speak to Brandi and Brandi says, “Go ahead.” They ask why she cut loose Bruce; doesn’t she know this will put their numbers down.
“Associating with him would have hurt us in the long run. Once the merge happened, we’d have had a target on our backs.”
“WE aren’t WE anymore,” Kerri says, before trudging off. Misty shakes her head then runs after Kerri.
“You know you did the right thing. They might be pissed, but that was awesome, your sending Bruce home. This tribe will be a lot stronger because of that,” Avery comforts.
“If I had voted with them, you were gone,” Brandi reveals.
“But you didn’t. If you had, then they were going to send Tebow home next because they wouldn’t want to go head to head against him in singles and they would have lost in the finals. And you know that in a final five or final four, they are cutting you out. It might be time to start thinking about a new clique.” Avery goes back to prepping the beans.
In confessional, Brandi reveals that she knew she would have been tied in with Bruce in a final four and she couldn’t have stood for that.
Meanwhile Tebow and Ichiro are walking, Tebow still holding Ichiro’s secret. They discuss strategy, deciding whether to keep Brandi around, or go ahead and team up with Misty and Kerri and knocking Brandi out. Tebow argues that she could be an asset, but Ichiro comes back with, if we keep her, they will “let her back in if she votes out one of us.”
“Guys vs. girls then, right Ichiro?” Tebow laughs. He is still limping, but he is mobile.

In Wumba camp Nash and Amanda are on the beach, glad they didn’t have a tribal council. “2 vs 2 with one wild card. What do we do?” Amanda asks.
“We just get Sergio on board with us. We have to, no choice,” Nash responds.
Meanwhile Danica and TO are in the river on a raft they made and are also discussing strategy. “I think we drop this challenge, then go after them. Nash, Beard, doesn’t matter. This HAS to be the final tribal immunity before the merge. HAS to be.” TO is confident.
“Well I have the immunity and we can maybe use Sergio as a spy, promise him the idol if he can get the goods on what they are doing,” Danica offers.
“Keep that wild card in yo’ pocket,” TO tells her.
As Danica is pulling back onto shore, Amanda confronts her. “So you have the idol?”
“What? No!” Danica shoots back
“Yes you do. What Hulk had wasn’t real so that means you planted something. Didn’t you?” Amanda fires.
“If I had the idol, wouldn’t I have played it at the last council when I was almost voted out?” Danica offers.
“No because you knew Sergio was voting with you. I don’t care, just admit you have it.”
“No. I admit nothing,” Danica says before stomping off.

Meanwhile Sergio tells Nash he is going fish. He is looking for a sack for fish when all of a sudden he happens upon Danica’s bag. He finds the idol! He peaks around, sees no one, and pockets the idol.

Jeff Probst welcomes the two tribes in to a reward challenge and Wumba sees Chumba minus Bruce Jenner for the first time. Nash nods to Sean Avery. Probst reveals that it looks like Tim is still limping, but Tebow boasts that he will tough it out.
The game is sort of like beer pong. The players will separate into two teams and each throw a ball onto the other team’s cups. If a ball lands in the cups, the person whose cup it lands in will have to drink whatever liquid is in the cup. The team that sinks all of the other team’s cups, wins reward. “Want to know what you are playing for?”
YEAH!
The winning team will get to visit a tobacco farm. They will get to see how Cuban cigars are rolled and illegally exported to the US. They will also get to pick a cigar and smoke it. They can enjoy a nice brandy to go with the cigar as well. Also cheese and crackers will be there. “Sound good?”
“No.” Tebow says. Probst laughs.
Wumba, you are down a player, so you go first. Nash takes aim and sinks a cup. Ichiro drinks the cup: it is ocean water. Wumba shoots again and Sergio misses. Tebow steps up and knocks down a cup. Danica drinks coconut milk. Brandi is up and she sinks a cup. Amanda drinks honey. Misty misses. Amanda misses. Kerri misses. Danica sinks a cup and Avery drinks ocean water. “Jeff, if all of ours are ocean water, I’m coming after you!” Avery barks. Nash is up next and he nails one. Tebow drinks coconut milk. Sergio misses again. Avery aims and sinks a cup to tie it up 3-3. Ichiro nails a cup. 4-3. Tebow hits a cup 5-3. Brandi misses. TO makes his cup then Nash sinks his to tie. 5-5. Danica misses and it is Chumba’s turn. It goes back and forth as each player misses. Finally Nash makes it, but Tebow gets a last shot. HE SINKS IT! Probst announces that for the tiebreaker, each team will select a player and he will have 3 shots to make as many in the cup as he can. Nash and Ichiro are selected. Ichiro makes 2 but Nash cans all three. WUMBA WINS REWARD!
Chumba is about to head back when Wumba selected Brandi to go to exile.
Wumba heads off to enjoy the cigars.

Wumba is shown visiting the cigar farm and watching the Cubans roll the cigars. Nash and Amanda roll some and everyone is laughing. We see TO smoking a cigar and Danica drinking brandy. They toast to their victory

In Chumba camp, Misty and Kerri are recruiting Tebow right in front of Ichiro because they don’t think he can understand. Tebow rebuffs them and then Misty and Kerri decide that Tebow would be the next target. Ichiro hears this but again pretends that he cannot understand.
Tebow is talking to Avery when Ichiro motions him over. Ichiro tells Tebow the info and Tim and Ichiro decide that, if need be, either Kerri or Misty is gone.

Meanwhile Avery and Misty start to talk and they get into an argument over Bruce’s value to the tribe. Misty tries to remind Avery that he should thank his lucky stars he is still here when Avery shouts that is Misty really had control over her alliance, they would still be in control of the game and not teetering like they are now. Kerri comes and grabs Misty and leads her away. “He is right. We’ve got to do something otherwise we are both gone.”
“We ride it out and when the merge comes, we get Nash and Amanda on our side.”

The Wumba tribe returns and Danica realizes her idol is gone. She is quietly freaking out then accuses Amanda of taking it. Amanda says she didn’t be then accuses Danica of lying about not having it. “Well I don’t have it NOW!”
“I didn’t take your idol. I wish I did, because that would be nice to have in my back pocket, but I don’t have it. Check my stuff,” Amanda offers. Danica storms off.
Sergio witnesses the entire thing and shares with Nash and Amanda that he has it. “Nice,” Nash says, and gives Sergio a high five.

Probst welcomes the two tribes in for the immunity challenge. This will be a race where an entire tribe save for one person will be blindfolded and the one person with sight calls out to the others on how to get through a maze. First team to get all players through wins immunity. Chumba will have to sit a person out and everyone votes to keep Ichiro out because they don’t think he understands English. Chumba’s guide will be Misty and Wumba will have Danica as a guide. Ready, go! Everyone is sent out into the maze together, but from different starting points and Misty and Danica have to guide the survivors through while others are trying to feel their way out on their own. Danica starts helping TO first, then switches to Nash. Then she switches again to help Sergio. Misty is guiding Kerri then switches to Tebow, then Avery. Danica purposely walks Amanda into a wall. Nash is THROUGH! Kerri is through! Sergio is close….Sergio is through. Avery is through for Chumba. Now only Amanda and Tebow remain. Tebow is feeling himself and not really paying attention to Misty. Amanda is close. Misty is starting to get frustrated with Tim and she yells at him to LISTEN! Amanda is somehow turned around right near the exit…Tebow eventually catches up and passes her! Chumba wins immunity!
Chumba celebrates and Probst tells Wumba he will see them in council!

Wumba heads back and they are still bickering about Danica’s lost idol. Nash wants to know why Danica never said she had it to begin with. “Would you have announced you had it?” Danica asks. Nash is steamed, at least he is pretending.
Sergio and Danica and TO plot to vote Amanda and then she’ll use the idol and it will knock out Nash. “But someone will have to vote for Nash. Why don’t we just vote for him?” Danica asks.
“We have to get the idol played,” Sergio tells her. “Vote Amanda and I will vote Nash and he goes home.”
“Unless they both vote for one of us, then we have a tie,” TO reckons.
“Can you both make fire? Can you make it faster than Amanda?”
“No, if she uses the idol, then we could lose to Nash 2-1,” Danica figures.
“I’ll see what I can do,” Sergio says, before heading off.
Sergio goes over the gameplan with Nash and Amanda. They vote out TO. Done.

In confessional, Sergio wonders who he will side with.
Sergio runs back to TO and alerts them that Nash has it and will play it tonight. “Amanda gave it to Nash after she took it from you. Nash showed me!” Sergio lies to Danica.

At tribal council Probst asks if they are nervous with the shrinking numbers and a merge coming. Nash says that yes, he is always nervous at tribal council. TO says that it is a numbers game now and when the merge comes. If you have a solid core, just add a wild card and you’re fine. Probst says that TO knows what it is to be a wild card. TO laughs.

Let’s get to the Vote. Probst goes and tallies the votes. If anyone has the immunity idol, use it now.
“First vote: TO. Second vote: Amanda. One for TO, one for Amanda. Third vote: TO. Two for TO, one for Amanda. Fourth vote: Amanda. Fifth vote and next person voted out of Survivor: Cuba….Amanda. Grab your torch.

Nash is blindsided and Sergio gives TO a fistbump. Amanda is shocked but then smiles.

Grab your torches Wumba, We finally see the true colors of the BPs. And Steve is all alone. Head back to camp!

On the next Survivor: Cuba.
The merge happens. Everyone enjoys a meal. Nash confronts Sergio about Amanda leaving. Sergio sneers that TO and Danica had a better plan. Nash vows revenge. At the merge feast, Nash alerts everyone that Sergio has the immunity idol, which he stole from Danica.
