Survivor Cuba: Episode 11

Previously on Survivor, TO and Nash nearly came to blows in the immunity challenge, but it was Tebow that came out on top. Sergio was sneaky but not sneaky enough in the challenge and his assist from the Survivor auction wasn't enough help. Tempers flared between Kerri Walsh and Sean Avery at the auction and their feud continued at camp. In the end, TO's tricks weren't enough and he was sent packing. Does the crew have a strong hold on the game or will the BPs go for one last hail mary?

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

Day 31. The Crew is walking back to camp all smiles while Sergio and Kerri Walsh seem down. Sean Avery asks Walsh what's wrong and then cracks up laughing. Kerri ignores him but Avery keeps prodding. "Maybe you shouldn't have jumped ship?"
Sergio turns around to defend Kerri. "She made a move. It doesn't look like it will work out but she was 5th in your four person clique. At least here she would have been in the final three and then who knows?"
"Whoa Sergio. Don't say too much! I think that's the most you've ever said to us!" Avery remarks before laughing again.
In confessional Kerri and Sergio admit that they fear that they are going home now that TO is gone. Our only hope is somehow we win immunity and use the other idol and one of them goes home. But even then we still need a miracle to make it through the next vote. The numbers are not good.
Back in camp, the Crew is seen laughing and playing around the fire. Sergio and Kerri think hope is gone.

Jeff Probst welcomes the Survivors to the rewards challenge. Everyone will be playing QUEST (like Horse, but spelling Quest, the name of the tribe). You will throw the ball into a basket. Last one standing gets to not only send someone to Exile, but also gets to pick another person to go on a helicopter ride where you will get a steak dinner, shower and a massage before spending the night in Fidel's summer home. Sounds pretty good, right? Let's go. Sergio goes first and hits a deep three pointer. Ichiro makes it and Avery swishes. Kerri misses Q. Tebow is up next and he drains a behind-the-back shot from the free throw line. Nash makes it then Sergio misses Q. Ichiro makes a lefty free throw but Avery misses Q.

Nash brings Ichiro out and leaps over him, Knowshon style for a dunk. Tebow tries it but misses and is out. Tebow is NO KNOWSHON!

Commercial. Did you catch Rush Propst on last week's Score Atlanta's Official Visit with Fletcher and Scott on 790 the Zone? NO? Visit Southernpigskin.com and you can listen to the entire show. Fletcher is going GLOBAL, Baby! 790, Hooters, GA's NPR affiliate, Score Atlanta, now Southernpigskin....where will he turn up next?

Tebow and Nash are shown heading to Fidel's retreat. The Helicopter lands and they get out and immediately are shown to the bedrooms. The guys take a shower and shave and dress in clean clothes. They head out and get massaged before settling in for a steak dinner. They discuss strategy a bit, both quite happy with The Crew's standing in the game. Knock out Sergio and Kerri then its Tebow and Ichiro against Avery and Nash. Or is it? Tebow and Nash talk about potentially switching that now that they are getting along better.

On Exile island, Kerri is struggling to make a fire and it is starting to rain. She isn't having much fun. Back at camp Avery is lauging about how miserable Kerri probably is and Sergio leaves the hut rather than hear Avery bash his partner. "Ahhh, come back Gio, I'll stop," Avery promises. Garcia returns and barely sits down when Avery laughs that he bets "the b!tch is COLD!" Garcia leaves the hut again.

Nash and Tebow finish the steak dinner and dessert before retiring for the night.

The next morning they return to camp to find Sergio sleeping under a tree in the rain. They wake him up and bring him back to the hut. Avery is laughing about how Kerri must be doing and Nash tells him to stop. Sergio quietly thanks Nash. Nash said that Avery was out of line with all of that. Sergio says that he did it all night.
In confessional, Sergio wonders if maybe there is one more miracle out there.

Probst welcomes the Survivors, including Kerri to the Immunity challenge. Everyone is taken up to a platform high above the water where they will play a game similar to musical chairs. There are various bases separated by thin balance beams. Probst has welcomed in a local band to play and once they stop, get to a base or you are out. Be careful though because the balance beams are thin. Ready? GO! The band begins to play and everyone starts circling around the outer ring. The band stops and everyone scampers. Sergio falls before he can get to a base, and Nash slowly walks to a base. Everyone moves to the second ring. The music starts, then stops and Ichiro and Avery near a base when the music stops. Avery hipchecks Ichiro out of the way and reaches base. Once again they move in. The music starts then stops and Tebow beats out Kerri to the final base. Tebow, Nash and Avery are left. Nash and Tebow reach base the next time. In the finals, Tebow is one step away from the base when the music stops and wins immunity! Nash is disappointed but he congratulates Tebow.

On the way back to camp, Sergio and Kerri make one final play for Nash. They push that his turning on the Crew would give him the ultimate "outwit" card in the final jury vote. "You can say that you played hard, won a few challenges and then flipped the game in its head," Sergio offers. Nash seems to buy what they are saying.
At camp Avery is pushing for Kerri to go. Tebow ponders about voting out Sergio because he is sneakier. "But he still has the idol. It expires after tonight, so you know he will use it," Ichiro reasons.
"Unless he gives it to Kerri and one of us goes," Tebow counters. Avery exhales. That is one thing he is worried about. "We've got to figure out who is going to use it. Nash, you still have any pull?"
"Maybe some," Nash says.
"Go check it out," Tebow asks.

Nash makes his way over to the BPs and at this point, Nash reveals in a confessional, he isn't sure what he is going to do. He talks through a potential switch with Sergio and Kerri and asking who they'd vote out. "Avery. Clearly!" Kerri says. "And you'd play the idol?" Nash asks.
"We have to," Sergio counters. Only way it could work, especially with the numbers. Who are they voting for? Kerri asks.
"They think you because they don't think Sergio will give it up." Nash says. Sergio tries to get a commitment from Nash, but Nash says he has to think about it.
"I don't know what to do on that one," Nash confesses in a confessional.
Nash tells the Crew that he couldn't determine who was going to use it, but it would be used. Ichiro says that two vote for Kerri, two for Sergio and make them battle it out in a tiebreaker. "But they will vote for one of us too."
"So, make fire!" Ichiro says.

Probst welcomes the Survivors and the jury to the council. He asks Sergio and Kerri about being the last two members of an alliance going against an alliance 4-strong. Sergio lets slip that may not be the case. "Is someone going to switch tonight?" Jeff asks and Kerri says that the BPs aren't dead yet.
Probst reminds everyone that tonight is the final night for the hidden idol and Tebow answers that everyone knows that too well. "Does that affect your voting?"
"Of course Jeff. You don't know who is going to use it."
Well let's get to the voting. Tim, you are immune, unless you want to give up the honor. Tebow declines and he is sent to vote. Everyone votes and Jeff goes to tally the votes. He returns and asks if anyone wants to use the hidden immunity idol. Yes. Kerri and Sergio both stand up as the Crew looks nervious. Sergio hands Jeff the idol and he is immune. His votes won't count. Tebow leans over and whispers to Ichiro that their votes won't matter. Avery and Nash sound have voted for Kerri. Nash turns and looks at Kerri. Kerri tilts her head and Nash turns away.
First vote: Sergio. Jeff throws it into the fire. Second vote: Sean Avery. Third Vote: Avery. That's two for Avery. Fourth: Kerri. Fifth vote: Sergio, into the fire. That's 2 for Avery, one for Kerri. Sixth vote....a shot of Nash is shown....Kerri.
Two votes Sean, Two votes Kerri. Guys, come up. Sergio looks at Nash, who gives Avery a knucklebump.
Kerri and Sean will compete to see who can build a fire first to burn through a thread and raise a flag. Winner stays. Ready, go!
Avery starts and has little luck, but Kerri gets sparks first and a little flame. She tries to build on it but it is slowly dying. Sergio is telling her to go back to the flint, but she is being stubborn. Avery finally gets a spark and it starts with the little leaves he has placed. He starts to build a tepee-like structure. Avery has his fire up high now while Kerri has lost her flame. Avery's flag goes up and he is declared the winner. Kerri brings her torch to Jeff and he sends her off with the jury. TO and Dancia look disappointed that the BPs are down to just Sergio. Brandi has a smile on her face.
Avery rejoins Nash, Ichiro and Tebow and Sean gives Sergio a throatslashing gesture. Probst sends everyone back to camp.

Next time ON Survivor. Sergio is all alone. "It feels like even camp is exile island." Nash and Tebow are continuing to buddy up and this is alarming to Avery. Meanwhile Ichiro is starting to get homesick.
