Survivor: Cuba, battle of the Sports Stars Episode nine

Previously on SURVIVOR!

Tebow and Avery are talking and Tebow questions whether or not they want Nash in the group. Tebow says that Steve is a liar while Avery defends Nash. “He’s with us. All of his dirt, if you want to call it that, is out in the open and honestly, what was so bad about it? Did you go home? No
Meanwhile, Kerri is targeted by Danica. “If you join us and TO you will be in the final four. How long do you really think those boys would keep you after they cut us out? And with TO and Sergio, he has an idol and TO can win the immunity. If they do and once they vote me out, you would be next. Think about it chicky.” Danica crosses her arms triumphantly.
Following the rewards challenge, Probst allows Avery then to select who goes to exile island, and he says Kerri. Kerri is a bit pissed about this, but Danica pats her arm. This might be the final push Kerri needed to go to the BPs.
At the immunity challenge, Probst welcomes in everybody and points to a dock. After the dock are a series of platforms on which the survivors will stand for 10 minutes at a time. IF you fall, you are out. Nash and Tebow move to the final platform where the two will stand until one falls. 45 minutes later, Nash is focused and Tebow is starting to sweat. His leg is starting to hurt him where he injured himself a few weeks back. Tebow picks up his leg but when he puts it back down, he wobbles and falls off the platform, giving Nash the win. Nash jumps off and Avery congratulates him when he exits the water. Nash is given the necklace and everyone heads back to camp with Tebow limping.
Probst welcomes every to tribal council Probst asks tebow about his trust of Nash. Has that healed as quickly as your leg? “He lied to us and he’s tried to make good, but you cannot really trust someone once they cross you, you know?” Probst asks Nash how he can earn Tebow’s trust back. Nash says that you just work your tail off and hope that’s enough. But what if it isn’t? Jeff asks. Then I go home, Nash responds. “Actually Jeff, I heard a rumor going around about tonight’s vote and I figure this is my best chance to earn my alliance’s trust back, so I am giving Tim the immunity necklace.”
Last vote decides the balance of the game. First member of our jury, Danica. Bring me your torch.

AhhhhhhhhhhuhhhhhhhhAHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, ooohdelah, ohdelAHHH ohdelay ohdelay AH aaaa ahh yah a a yah…
Quest Tribe: Tim Tebow, Brandi Chastain, Sean Avery, Ichiro, Kerri Walsh, Steve Nash, Sergio Garcia, TO The Jury: Danica Patrick

Day 25
At Camp Quest, TO and Sergio are trying to regroup and Kerri is involved in the discussion. They realize that Danica’s leaving was a huge blow to their gameplan. Sergio blames Kerri for not getting Brandi on board, but TO waves that off. That isn’t the problem. The problem is they simply got outsmarted by Brandi and that makes her a threat to them. She isn’t trustworthy now according to TO. Almost on cue, Brandi approaches and asks Kerri if they can talk in private. Brandi tells Kerri that she wants to join the BPs, but only as a secret Femme Fatal. Kerri asks why she stabbed the BPs in the back? Brandi tries to pass off that she was out to protect Kerri and she hypothesized that the BPs were just using Kerri and would end up cutting her off the first chance they got. Kerri retorts that she doesn’t believe that the BPs are in a position to be voting out any of their own members. “Especially not down in the numbers!” Brandi tries once again to get in and says that they can pull one over on the guys from the final four. If TO can win the immunity idol and Sergio uses his idol, then they can vote out Ichiro or Avery.
Kerri finally nods yes but rolls her eyes after Brandi leaves.
Meanwhile Tebow is moving around gingerly on his injured leg. Nash and Avery are trading war stories about past injuries. Ichiro is busy making some rice soup with some of the spices. Tebow looks around and finally calls the crew together. He believes that TO and Sergio are going to try and regroup and pull Kerri and maybe Brandi in. “They are going to full-court press her, you know they are. We’ve got to either get her on board, or make sure we somehow get the vote to go our way tomorrow.”
“How?” asks Ichiro, but Tebow doesn’t have an answer. Brandi is seen walking up to the group. Tebow just shrugs at Nash.

Jeff Probst welcomes the survivors to the rewards challenge. In front of the Survivors is a big wheel full of numbers and letters. The survivors will have to match up the letters and numbers to try and spell out a message. The survivors have been given clues to try and figure out what the code is. Ready? GO! Everyone starts spinning and trying to solve the puzzle. Kerri is out to an early lead. Tebow seems confused by the puzzle. “I feel like I am facing a REAL defense out here and not just South Carolina!” he shouts. “Man this is like the Georgia game in 2007! Like Auburn in 2007. Like LSU in 2007. Like Auburn in 2006! I just cannot crack this thing!”
Nash meanwhile thinks he has it figured out, but it doesn’t spell anything, so he starts over. Brandi is going slowly, but she is starting to get it. A frustrated TO announces that he is going to save himself for the immunity challenge. Sergio is befuddled. The race is coming down to Kerri v Brandi. Suddenly Ichiro starts whirling the wheel around and spelling out something. Kerri thinks she has it and calls out to Jeff. He walks over and announces that Kerri in fact spelled out, “Everybody lies. Trust no one. Ever.”
Kerri wins reward. She gets a video message from her husband on a cell phone. At the end of the message, it is revealed that he hubs is back at camp. Probst then drops a bombshell that she can go see him OR she can go to exile island and EVERYONE ELSE can see a significant other. Tebow asks who his guest is and Probst says Urban Meyer. “Oh GAWD, keep that fool away from me!” shouts TO. Sergio’s girlfriend is at camp, Brandi’s sister is there, Ichiro’s sushi roller is there, Nash’s wife is there, and Avery’s brother is there. Kerri exhales deeply. She decides that she wants to see her husband. “Are you serious?” Avery shouts. “How freaking selfish!” he whispers to Nash. Nash shrugs. “She won dude.”
“Alright everybody. No visits, but I do have letters from those guys for you.” Probst hands out the letters and while some seem happy to get them, others are a bit pissed they don’t get to see their visitor.
Back at camp, Kerri runs and jumps into her husband’s arms. They make out for a second before walking around and Kerri tries to introduce him to everyone. TO and Sergio seem eager to meet him. Brandi says hello before going back to passive-aggressively washing a pot. Avery brushes him off. Tebow shakes his hand and jokes a bit. Nash cracks a joke before walking away. Ichiro bows. Kerri and her hubs walk to the water, hand in hand and she tells him about the game, about the Femme Fetals, about the backstabbing and how she is trying to get in with the BPs. Her husband tells he to get in with Tebow, but Kerri admits that it is too late for that to happen. They walk in the water and laugh.
Back at camp, Avery is still steamed that Kerri chose herself over the group. Nash asks Avery if he would have given up a visit for everyone else. “If I was afraid I might go home tomorrow…”
“Sean, I think everyone would have made the same choice,” Tebow admits. “I think I would have.”
“That’s not very Christian, Timmy!” TO shouts. Tebow just rolls his eyes.
“Sean-o, Tim’s right. She made her choice, and it’s fine,” Nash concludes.
“I think I’d have thought about it before I declared my answer. Just saying.” Avery says before storming off.
In confessional, Avery admits that he is feeling a little left out now that Tebow and Nash are on speaking terms and he isn’t needed as much in their crew.
Tebow and Nash are laughing with Kerri and her hubby and that pisses off Avery even more.

Kerri finally kisses her husband goodbye and he leaves. Brandi is a little perturbed that she missed her sister and she lets Kerri know. Avery joins in about how much he misses his brother. “OK, a SISTER and a BROTHER vs a HUSBAND. Come on guys. Let’s get over this,” Kerri says. Avery shouts after her how she is selfish and TO comes to Kerri’s defense. Nash hears this and walks over and pulls Avery away before he can do anything. TO calls Nash Avery’s Buttboy and Nash gets right in TO’s face, saying that this isn’t done. “Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I’m scared!” TO laughs.

Avery and Nash regroup with Tebow and Tebow smoothes over the hyped up Sean and Steve. “Let’s save it guys. Save it for the challenge,” Tebow suggests.
Ichiro and Brandi meanwhile serve out dinner and they overhear Sergio and TO planning to cut Kerri. Ichiro and Brandi’s eyes get big as they hustle back to relay the message to the rest of the crew. When they leave, TO asks Sergio if he thinks they heard them. They bust out laughing.
In a confessional, TO and Sergio, along with Kerri say that this is a part of their plan. “It’s a longshot, but it’s the only one we have.”

Probst welcomes everyone to the immunity challenge and announces that they will be on a rope circle with multiple paths and the object is to shake or push off everyone else, with the last person standing getting immunity. The paths intertwine and combat is going to be necessary in some cases. Ready, go! Tebow goes after Sergio and knocks him off almost immediately. Avery goes after and bumps Kerri to the ground. Brandi is trying to shake Nash off, but she falls herself. Nash has TO in his sights, but first he encounters Ichiro and Ichiro tries to move around Nash, but he falls, attempting to do so. Tebow, TO, Nash and Avery are all left. Nash and TO end up nose to nose and TO wraps his legs around Nash. Avery rushes both and knocks them both off. He is wobbly when Tebow approaches to steady him. Avery continues to wobble and Tebow’s good leg slips and the bad leg cannot hold Tebow. He falls and Avery is declared the winner.
TO and Nash are finally separated by Tebow and Kerri.

Commercial…So you Think you can Dance, Dance Dance returns tonight. Don’t worry everybody, I’ll be blogging about it tomorrow. Don’t you WORRY!

Back at camp, Nash is campaigning HARD for TO to go. “He HAS to go! I am sick of him. He thinks he is better than me when he is the dirtiest player in this game!” Nash spits.
“Strategy, Steve, Strategy. We want that divisive force over there, driving them crazy,” Sean remarks.
“No, he is keeping them together. And he is a threat to win immunity. He needs to go tonight!” Nash reasons but Tebow and Sean still think they should go a different direction. Ichiro motions for Nash to take a walk with him. Ichiro says that he will vote with Nash for TO. “If we can convince Brandi, we might just pull it off,” Ichiro says.

Meanwhile the BPs are huddling and TO says that they will target Nash. “I would say Avery, but he has immunity and Tebow isn’t what he was. He can be beaten on that bad wheel. Nash is the way to go,” TO plans.
“What about Ichiro?” Kerri says.
“No, Nash is the bigger threat. He has to go first,” Sergio corrects. “Nash, we good?” Everyone nods.
Nash and Ichiro approach Brandi in the water and describe the plan for TO to go. Brandi says that she is good. Nash asks if she knows who the BPs are voting. “How would I know that?” Brandi asks. “I’m with you guys I thought. Are Tim and Avery going with this plan?
“Sean is,” replies Nash. “Tim thinks Kerri should go.”
In confessional Brandi predicts that some one is going to be surprised!

At tribal council, Probst asks Tebow once again about his leg. “I feel like a broken record, Jeff,” Tebow laughs. “I’m fine.” Probst asks Nash about the encounter with TO. Nash says that it goes back to the struggle for Alpha-male back with Wumba. And I think they are pissed I crossed over to work with Tim and Sean.” Probst remarks how all of the alliances are out in the open. WOW. “Well not all of the alliances. We don’t know where Kerri and Brandi lie,” remarks Ichiro.
“Well we know where Kerri lies, with HERSELF!” Avery barks. Probst asks if he is steamed and what he would have done.
“If I was on the chopping block, I’d think about saving myself and getting in good graces.”
“You wouldn’t have done the same thing?” Probst asks.
“I’d have made sure I had the idol before I did,” Avery responds and points to the necklace. With that they vote and Probst tallies the votes.
“In the event of a tie, we go to the tiebreaker…” Jeff says.
First vote: TO. Second vote: Kerri. Third vote: Nash. Fourth vote: Brandi. Fifth, TO. Sixth: Kerri. Seventh: Brandi. Eighth vote and second member of our jury: Brandi.

Brandi is stunned and Tebow looks at Avery, who exchanges glances with Nash. Nash is stunned. TO, Sergio and Kerri all seem to smile as Brandi brings her torch to Probst. She walks away and Probst tells everyone to gather their torches and head back to camp. “A split vote and some surprised faces. All of these alliances maybe aren’t as cohesive as they think they are. Head back to camp.”

Next time on Survivor…
Avery confronts Nash on why the split. TO, Kerri and Sergio seem stronger than ever with the other crew seemingly splintering. Tebow is limping badly in the immunity challenge and it’s time for Survivor AUCTION! Did TO just take a swing at Nash?
