Survivor Cuba: Episode 10

Previously on Survivor Cuba, Nash and TO go head to head and nose to nose in an immunity challenge. Tim Tebow aggravates his leg injury. Meanwhile Sean Avery is feeling a bit left out now that Nash and Tebow are buddy-buddy. Brandi thinks she is in a position of power, but a major split vote leaves her out in the cold and on the jury.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, oh delay oh delay, ahhh e a-ahhhh
Tribe Quest...Tim Tebow, Sean Avery, Ichiro, Kerri Walsh, Steve Nash, TO, Sergio Garcia. The Jury: Danica Patrick, Brandi Chastain.

Day 28, At Quest Camp, only seven players remain, the BPs and the boy crew. Tebow, Avery, Ichiro and Nash should be in a position of strength, but it is the BPs that are sitting pretty on the dock, fishing. In a confessional, TO brags that his plan came off perfectly. "I didn't think we could have pulled that off, but we did. But we are a long way from being in control. That won't happen until maybe final five. We've gotta pull a few more surprises. But it could happen."

Sergio asks what the next course of action is and Kerri suggests going after Ichiro. "Cut out Tebow's lifeline." TO shrugs his shoulders. "Or we could target Tebow straight out. Odds are he won't win immunity with a bum leg. And if that thing heals, he has the will to outlast all of us." Sergio pulls a fish out. "Let's just see how the next few challenges go. But I think you're on the right path. Either Tebow or Ichiro," TO agrees. The BPs admire the fish Sergio caught and Kerri laughs, happy to be in a group again.

Back at camp, Avery confronts Nash on why the split. "I tried to get TO gone because I thought Brandi would still be valuable for us. We could have pulled her in. Ichiro was working on her. But I wanted to cut the head off of the snake that is the BPs. You saw what TO has done so far this game. You give him an opening and he races through it and usually it is one of us going home. If TO goes, Sergio and Kerri are following suit."
Avery disagrees. He thinks that they could have regrouped.
"You HONESTLY think Sergio could win an immunity challenge? Come on Sean!" Nash is annoyed.
"I just wish you had told us. It seems like TO is just heaving up hail marys and we are playing prevent defense and he's completed about three of them. Then he's getting the on-side kick. We have the numbers. Let's just crush them," Avery pleads.

Tebow meanwhile is limping around more than ever. He has gone to get the water for the camp and is struggling to carry the jug back to camp. "Yeah, it really does hurt. I don't know how much longer I can do this," Tebow admits in a confessional. "My leg feels like how my shoulder did after the 2007 Georgia game. Gosh, it is killing me."

Ichiro senses Tebow's hurt and meets him with the water. Ichiro asks, but Tebow lies and says he is fine. The BPs have returned from fishing and mock Tebow. They order him to hurry up otherwise everyone will have to eat sushi. "But Ichiro might like that," Sergio sneers. The BPs laugh at the joke while Tebow appears angry. Ichiro tells him not to worry about it.
Avery tells Kerri to shut up and stop laughing while TO asks Avery why he didn't tell him to. "Why are you picking on Kerri? Why don't you pick on me?"
"Listen Terrell, if you want our sloppy seconds, be our guest. We sent Kerri packing from our crew and if you want her in with you after what she said about you when we were in Chumba, be my guest. I'd just watch my back."
"How about what you said about your fellow tribemates when you voted them out, Sean? Remember Bruce?" Kerri shoots back.
"Yeah, and he's gone. the rest of the tribe voted him out too. Including Brandi, which you turned on AGAIN last night," Avery fires at the volleyballer.
"Guys, let's just eat," Nash shouts, trying to end the argument.
"Hey, guys, we might not want to eat yet," Tebow says as he is reading tree mail. "We have the auction today!" Everyone is excited but Avery is still seething at Kerri.
In confessional, Avery wonders if you can buy someone off the island. "Because I would sent Kerri packing. She'd better hope she can buy some immunity, becaue otherwise she is done.

Jeff Probst welcomes the survivors to the Survivor Auction. Everyone will get $500 to spend on various items. First item, a Five Guys bacon cheeseburger with fries and a coke. "$100," say Kerri. Avery says 140 just to spite her. She bids 160 and Avery says 180 and wins it. Next up is an order of Little Caesar's Crazy Bread and two slices of pizza with a Pepsi. 40 from TO. 60 from Tebow. 100 from Kerri. 120 from Avery. 160 from Tebow. 200 from Nash, 240 from Tebow and he wins it. The next item is Outback cheese fries with a side of ranch and a Bud Lite Lime. 300 from Sergio, 320 from Nash. 400 from TO gets it. Next up is a prize that will remain a secret. Kerri bids 40. Avery bids 80. Kerri bids 100 and Avery bis 180. Kerri lets him have it. It turns out to be 4 chocolate bars and a jar of peanut butter with a glass of milk. Kerri is disappointed. Next a tub is revealed with a change of clothes. Ichiro bids 400 and wins it. Another secret prize is offered and Kerri bids 60 and Avery bids 100 and shoots her dagger eyes. Kerri asks Avery how much he has left and he tells her to figure it out. Sergio tells her 140 and she bids 160. "Beat that!" Kerri gloats. Probst reveals the prize to be pigs ears. She is disappointed. Nash wins a gatorade and power bar for 100. The last item is something that can help you win immunity. Sergio bids 500 and Nash bids 520 (he gets money from Tebow). TO and Kerry give Sergio all of their remaining money and he wins the clue. He cannot open the message until the immunity challenge.

Everyone returns to camp having won something. Kerri is complaining that she won Pigs ears. "Did you even eat them?" TO asks.
"No. Disgusting. Freaking Sean Avery. What an a-hole. I want him gone as soon as he doesn't win immunity.
"We'll see," TO offers.
"No, it is him. That's the target," Kerri decides before trudging ahead. Sergio rolls his eyes to TO, who laughs.

Commercial...HE DID WHAT? HE TWITTERED? That's right. Fletcher has finally caught up with 2008 and started twittering. He might make it to 2009 by November. Just work with him. Want to see what he tweeting (is that the right word?)? Just click on the link to the right or at the bottom of the page.

Avery is rubbing his full stomach right in front of Kerri when she asks why he is being such a dick to her.
"Because you turned your back on your tribe. You flew the coop and now you want me to be nice to you? You will stab me in the back the first chance you get. Why should I be nice to you?"
"Sean, this is a game. Don't take it so personal. Come on," Kerri answers.
"FOLLOW YOUR OWN ADVICE," Sean overpronunciates just to annoy Kerri. "THIS IS A GAME. DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY."
Ichiro walks over and whispers something to Avery. He immediately ceases arguing with Kerri and while she keeps yelling at him, he just sits there in silence, giving her the silent treatment. Kerri eventually tires of yelling and walks away.
In confessional she admits that he frustrates her beyond belief. We are going to target him and that is all there is to it.
In his own confessional, Sean just sits there and says nothing before breaking into a smile and says, "Oh, sorry camera man. I thought you were Kerri."

Tebow is worried about his leg and tells Ichiro that if he doesn't win immunity, he's worried his leg might force him to quit, especially if the BPs target me. "It might be a good thing for you guys if I just leave."
"No, that's silly. we still have numbers. You can stick around until they are gone. heal up, that way we can go to the final two. Ich and Teb. To the end," Ichiro tries to convince Tebow. They bump knuckles but Tebow looks in pain.
In Cofessional Tebow says he will try and gut it out because he doesn't want to let Ichiro down, "but if I have to, to save the Crew, I'd back out to let them fight another day."
In his own confessional Ichiro laments that Tebow isn't thinking this thing through. He just hopes that Avery and Nash won't blindside Tebow if Tim fails to win immunity.

Commercial...CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIND MO WILLIAMS? He is missing and he has game five tonight! Will he be found? Find out on a twitter tomorrow from THIS GUY! Paul Mac to weigh in as well!

Probst welcomes everyone in for the immunity challenge. He shows off a maze and tells everyone that they will have to make it through the first maze using just one arm. The second maze using only one foot and the third maze blindfolded. After the first maze four people move on, after the second maze two and the final maze will determine the winner. Sergio is told to open his bottle and it says that he is allowed to skip the first maze and is allowed to use both feet for the second maze. "Worth the $520, right?" Probst asks and Sergio sneers yes.
Survivors to their posts, after everyone has their hands tied...begin! Tebow is limping around and through the course. He is easily able to pull himself over part of the course. Nash has little trouble. Ichiro struggles as does Kerri and Sean seems lost. TO, after falling behind, catches up to Nash and Tebow limps to the finish line, as does TO and Nash. Those three plus Sergio will advance.
Tebow elects to have his injured wheel tied up and TO and Nash choose legs.
Sergio races through the second part of the maze, getting lost at one point but still running back and races through the rest of the course. He nudges Nash along the way and takes Nash out. Tebow crosses the line second as TO started to follow Sergio but couldn't hop back in time. Probst DQs Sergio for bumping Nash and tweaks the rules to let Nash into the final maze because of the bump. So TO, Nash and Tebow will be blindfolded for the final maze. Sergio is pissed and tries to plead his case, but Probst is hearing none of it.
In the final race, the survivors are feling around, trying to find the walls. Tebow hits a dead end while Nash looks like he is out in the lead. Then he bumps into a wall and turns around. Eventually Nash hits TO and TO takes a swing at Nash. Probst yells at TO not to try and punch Nash and TO says that he is trying to find a wall.
Tebow is limping badly in this maze. Nash is passed by Tebow though and Nash senses it. He then starts walking faster and Tebow looks like he has a clear shot to the end. He pulls up and Nash passes him. Nash is moving faster when all of a sudden he turns and runs into a wall. Tebow moves low past Nash and crosses the finish line. Tebow wins immunity. TO is pissed and Nash is disappointed once he finds out how close he was. Probst tells TO to stay back and they will decide whether or not he was trying to hit Nash. The rest of the survivors head back as Probst and the producers pour over the tape.

Commercial...Paul Mac love the Big 10. He defends JoePa ONLY on Sportsbyfletch. Check out the archives to see Paul Mac's love affair with a 95 year old man!

The producers tell Probst the decision and Jeff reveals to TO that it appears it was an accident and he can stay in the game. TO nods and heads back to camp.
Back at camp, Kerri and Sergio are worried that TO has been sent home but then TO walks up and slaps Sergio on the back. The BPs seemed relieved.
Sean Avery also seems happy. He is trying to talk his crew into voting out Kerri. Nash wants Sergio gone. Tebow and Ichiro say that Sergio cannot go because of his idol, which he almost HAS to use, because he will lose it after the next vote. Avery pushes for Kerri again and Ichiro tells him to let his personal bias go. Then Tebow says it might not be a bad idea to send Kerri home because she could possibly try and cut into the crew. "Know your enemy. We know TO and what he will do. Kerri is a wild card."
Everyone heads to tribal council and Probst tells Tebow he won't ask about the leg. "You have immunity, clearly it doesn't hurt that much." Tebow reveals he was considering backing out, but my partner Ichiro talked me out of it and inspired me to win the maze challenge."
"So you were ready to quit?" Probst asks. When Tebow reveals that the thought had crossed his mind, Ichiro looks down nerviously and shakes his head. Probst questions Ichiro.
"I think maybe Tim should have keep that to himself. Not reveal strategy."
TO, you got a "get out of jail free" card. Will it matter?
"I hope so. I hope I have enough working and I hope there is enough of a splinter over there that we can split that vote and stick around," TO admits.
"Should you be giving away your strategy like that?" Probst asks.
"Everyone knows the numbers. we do what we do." TO admits.
Probst goes to tally the votes. Avery looks guilty while the BPs look confident.
The person voted out will leave immediately and join our jury of Danica and Brandi. First vote: TO. Second Vote: Avery. Third Vote: TO. Fourth Vote: Avery. Fifth Vote: Avery. Sixth Vote: TO. 3-3. Seventh vote and third member of our jury...TO.
TO stands, smiles and nods before heading up to Jeff.
The Crew seems united and the BPs just lost a leader. Is this the end of the BPs? 2 vs 4 is tough to overcome. Now the scrambling begins. Grab your torches and head back to camp.

Next time on Survivor...With TO gone, Sergio and Kerri are alone...or are they? Sergio approaches Nash with an offer for final three..."It would change the game," Nash admits in a confessional.
