Hidden Idol Causes A Laugh On Latest Survivor Gabon

Source: RealityRehash.com

On last weeks Survivor, Charlie was kicked out of the game thanks to Nobag's weakest members. Tonight those who were friends with Charlie weren't too happy as Randy and Corinne silently freaked out, well for the night following Tribal Council at least. The following day it was all about the hidden idols. Yes I put an s on that, although there really aren't two. Bob found it smart, for some reason, to tell Sugar, and only Sugar, that he made a fake Immunity Idol. She played it off well as she didn't let on that she has the real one. In the end Sugar just became even more powerful as she has the real idol and knows that there is another one now floating around. Who would have though she'd become the most powerful person in the game? I sure didn't! With the idols now out in the air it was time for the next reward. While getting the tree mail both Corinne and Randy talked about how much they hated everyone remaining. They feel they are the only two now aligned from old Kota and realized that Matty had to switch over.

This tie with Matty played a role in the next reward challenge which brought back the Survivor Auction. Each of the players were given $500 and given the chance to bid on several items. First up were three cold beers and it was a bidding war between Randy and Sugar. She kept bidding to get Randy's bid higher and higher and it worked. After getting the beer, Randy was left with only $320. The next item up was the dreaded covered item and Kenny took it home. It was a note to send someone to Exile Island and gain their money. Kenny didn't waste any time and sent Bob to exile once again, knowing there is no idol and knowing Bob thinks there is. Sugar, who had been very vocal, got the next item of chocolate and peanut butter while Susie won a bubble bathe. Corinne won the only other individual reward in an advantage in the next immunity challenge. Kenny could have outbid her but in the end he didn't need it. The last item was for the tribe and Randy won cookies for everyone. Although it was a nice gesture he turned into an idiot. He wanted to "own all the cookies" and designated who got the most. He gave Corinne and Matty one and half each while everyone received one. In the end only one cookie remained and, since she didn't take one at first, Sugar took the last cookie and gave it to Matty. Randy wasn't to happy about that move and made everyone know when returning to camp.

His second time in Exile Island didn't give Bob any new clues to the idol so he decided to take a safari of his own. He ventured out into the wilderness and had a fun experience on Exile it seemed. Back at camp things weren't as great. Randy was fuming from the move that Sugar played and realized that things were going his way. After realizing that Matty thought Sugar gave him the cookie, not Randy, that made things worse. Randy realized that Matty was close with the other group but still had to try and sway him over. Both he and Corinne talked to Matty and although he didn't say he would work with them, he did try to save Randy when the five tried to talk against him. Kenny, Crystal, Susie, Sugar and Matty were all talking about who to vote off in the hut when Randy walked up. He seemed angry at Matty was talking to the enemy, sending Randy on a rant and creating one crazy strategy. He wanted to piss everyone off in hopes of Bob finding the idol and saving him at Tribal Council. The first part of his plan played off without a hitch as Randy lashed out on Susie for being annoying. The last part.... not so much.

Following Randy's craziness it was time for the next immunity challenge. The challenge was split into two parts with three moving onto the second. The first part had the players moving three bags of puzzles over a balance beam. The first three across would move onto the second part of the challenge. There the survivors would have to balance several large domino pieces while avoiding trip wires. The first to knock over all the dominoes would win immunity. Corinne's advantage was then revealed and she was able to avoid the first part and move directly into the last part of the challenge. It was a bit unfair but was worth $500 hands down. In the first part only Kenny, Matty, Susie and Bob had a chance. Matty and Kenny were across the beam first and pitted them against Corinne in the finals. There all three were rather equal and it came down to all three pushing their blocks over at the same time. Both Matty's and Corinne's stopped half way, giving Kenny the win and Corinne and Randy somewhat of a death sentence.

Back at camp the mood was high for Kenny's win but it was quickly overshadowed by Randy and Corinne's mob for Bob to give Randy the idol. Before they could get to him, Bob went to Sugar and told her that he didn't find the idol. She still hasn't let on that she has it but I have a feeling she may at some point. While discussing the idol, and Bob's name being thrown out there to go by Matty, Sugar told Bob to give Randy the fake idol and watch it play out. Bob figured it wasn't going to help him anyway so he might as well entertain the most powerful woman in Gabon. When Corinne, and then Randy, basically demanded for Bob to give Randy the idol.... he did. It was all a plan of sabotage from Sugar but at least it got a good laugh. Only Sugar and Bob knew what was coming but everyone was in on the laugh when it came time for it. At Tribal Council Sugar couldn't keep a straight face. Randy didn't really go off on anyone, even though Crystal tried. All the fun came post, well almost post, votes. Crystal was last up and spoke so loudly while casting her vote that everyone could hear. Nobody said anything about it but it was obvious she knew what she was doing. Before the votes were read, Randy stood up to give the idol to Jeff. When everyone, but Randy and Corinne, saw this it was utter laughter. They all knew what was coming as Jeff threw the fake idol into the fire. Randy and Corinne's faces were stoned when that happened as Randy walked off, rather quiet, with a vote of five to three. Seriously. Sugar is freaking genius!
