Previously on iSurv1vor:
- A challenge focusing on translating a different language caused people to be thrown into frustration. Having only 30 minutes to figure out what S25 Alumni Mike said in the treemail, whoever could translate what he said, or closest to what he said, would win immunity.
- Ultimately, with the idea of going into arabic chats to figure out a tad bit of the language, Stephanie lead Amman to victory, sending Al-Salt to Tribal Council.
- In the end, Shon decided that going with Carlos and Davis would be too risky and voting out Mandy would be a negative thing for his game. Davis was blindsided, leaving Carlos somewhat alone in this game.
- 15 are left, who will be voted out next?

Al-Salt will certainly be going to Tribal Council again if they keep up this appearance. Amman are in the drivers seat and whoever controls the majority on their side will control the game at present.
Carlos has been left out in the cold, he voted out Kate with Davis and after being brutally blindsided like that he is all alone on a tribe where there is no hope. Dylan, Mandy, Shon and Travis are the majority with Nicole in their back pocket she will retain her leadership and weaponise the Salvation Cup via Dylan. Realistically they can become a force to be reckoned with if it wasn't for those damn compulsary challenges. I don't see a situation where Kate will come out of this tribe alive, the only thing that could be a saving grace is that she is from Karak and if the continued eliminations of Anjara are any indication then it'll be bye bye Carlos. Nicole has effectively turned her back on the Physical tribe and considering they weren't receptive of her leadership then I can't fault her reasoning to distance herself.
I'm beyond prepared to see more old-Karak players go to Tribal, praying for an Amman loss but I doubt that will happen soon.
Over at the Cemetery, Emily was eliminated outside of the duel due to her not turning up. I'm disappointed in that but if you don't put your best foot forward then expect to get the chop. Davis has a theory that players are targeting the "Twitter ORG" players which to me sounds ridiculous but I have been out of the loop the last week so I could be totally off the mark.

Al-Salt is for sure going to TC every single round, barring some miracle. Tbh, a subjective challenge is likely their only saving grace, as it seems to be with the [usually] inferior of the two tribes. I will be absolutely stunned if they pull off a win for the scavenger hunt. I know Desiree expressed concerns over Travis, but I don't think he's going to be strong enough to carry that team on his back. Which isn't to say anything of his abilities as much as it is of their tribes abilities as a whole. They're in hot water. It pains me to say, again, not because of anything against him, but rather because I'm rooting for Nicole, that Ricky is by far the superior coach at this point in the game. He's got nothing but upward momentum. He's not lost a single challenge. He has excellent relationships with his tribemates. And, most importantly, his tribemates look up to him. I don't think Nicole's tribes have really respected her, and I sort of understand why. She hasn't seemed as dedicated and aggressive as Ricky is, which is too bad.
Not sure what might happen in the next round with Al-Salt. I don't think this previous round is any guarantee of the future. Dylan had already expressed regret at the Davis vote before it was even official, and apparently Travis is wary of Shon. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing them stick together to eliminate Carlos next, but I have a feeling Carlos isn't quite done for this game. He's definitely going to be aggressive going forward. I'm interested to see if he acts visibly angry with them, or if he's going to restrain himself.
Not disappointed in Emily's elimination from the Cemetery and game overall. She was a flop returnee who seemed more interested in instigating arguments. Furthermore, not distraught about Davis' elimination, either. I feel as though he started off strong, he quickly faded, and wasn't as fun to watch as I had hoped.

Also, it really pisses me off when people come into these games and have no concept of when a round ends. Think of the fucking TV show. Does each episode end just before treemail? No. It ends immediately after someone's been voted out. This is not fucking rocket science, so, I have little sympathy for the people who claim that it was unclear when a round ended. Sorry, Kate, but damn.

Davis is a classic example of how not to play iS. You must talk to EVERYONE instead of being cocky and think that you're too good and safe to bother. He didn't talk to all of his tribe and the one person that was with him he tried to blind side. I am not sad to see him go and not surprised that he will throw a fit and blame everyone but himself
I'm a little on the fence about Kate. After watching her videos it seems like she has a hard time getting people to take her seriously and gets defensive about this but also causes the problem to some degree. I get why Ricky likes her now. She will do what he says as long as he keeps the compliments flowing. Anyway, trusting Carlos and Davis was a really really dumb move. But now they're both on the bottom so they may have to work together. I don't see how she can survive though especially if Carlos turns on his charm
I am super excited to see how Carlos does this round and if his ass can back up his mouth. Already Mandy is saying that he "actually seems like a good guy"
Even though Mandy is not my favorite I have to give her props for not only staying but having a seemingly stable alliance.
I think I said it before but I will say it again. There were so many alumni who would have liked to have Emily's spot. Her whole time in Jordan has just annoyed me. Glad she's gone for good

Just caught up on Davis' confessional... #DirtyD... he was the lesser of two evils and that is why he went home. They know if they keep loud, in your face, Carlos in the game, there will always be a target on this tribe that is not them. They take out Davis to weaken Carlos but I see Carlos staying around for a while b/c he will always be a bigger target than the next person, IMO.
Nicole finally spoke at the end of episode 4... listening now... Im still not completely sold on the idea that Nicole wants to be in this game. I did find it interesting that she posted about being jealous of Kate's friendship with Ricky... could be future drama in the making! I'd love to see that!
Kate with a cold sore... why share that? Is she a true player? Does she have a good rep? I dont know anything about her. Someone fill me in!
#ItsYaBoyJay is back with a confessional... keeping his family close! Just another confessional that shows that Davis' vote off is the vote that starts this game! Everything before this was lackluster... its about to pick up!

The only thing I can see Al-Salt kicking themselves over, with Davis, is the scavenger hunt tattoo. Amman already has one, and in this twist of having to match the other team video for video until one comes out victorious, 100 points is a huge lead. Davis was willing to do the shaved eyebrows too, iirc. This is no surprise, as everyone knew VERY well what the next challenge would be. Voting out a more daring player could be giving Amman the advantage.
What it comes down to is, are you willing to sacrifice someone on your tribe? Are you in enough trouble that you would do anything to buy yourself 3 more days in the game? Or is all you are doing just buying Jay, Carlos, Shon, whoever, those 3 more days?

Davis' elimination was sure fire death for the Scavenger Hunt. Unless someone is willing to step up and do some of these things (the tattoo, specifically), they have to know that they are going to be heading to tribal again.
I hope that Ricky has Kate on his Christmas wish list...because he needs to set the girl up with a new leash and collar. I just don't see how far she can go when Ricky crosses his arms, nods, blinks hard and his every wish is Kate's command. Play the fucking game, girl...you've got it in you!
Carlos, too bad you were left with an anchor when Davis was voted off this sinking ship!
Joe, I'm glad you said something about it not seeming like Nicole wants to be in the game. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but maybe that's what I'm seeing. I can't tell if she doesn't actually want to play, or if she's only playing for/because of Dylan. Strange vibe about it.
Travis seems to have weaseled himself into a pretty good position, which surprises me! I think it has him surprised, too! lol
Mandy is hanging in there! I was really worried that it would be villagers with pitchforks chanting "Vote Mandy Out". She also seems to be in a fair position.
OK, off to look at more and to check out the SH list! Haven't even had a chance to look at that yet!

(I apologize for posting this a tad late in my own personal book, I went to sleep early last night because I only got two hours of sleep, after working a night shift one night, and then a day shift the next day.) Emily being eliminated from the game is a good thing, honestly. She didn't contribute much, and didn't seem interested in the game at all, and I think someone more deserving should have come back because they probably would have appreciated the opportunity more then her. Nicole - Nothing for Episode 5. Ricky - I understand why he is frustrated, although, he sounds paranoid about possibly being sent to Tribal Council. I mean, like some people have said, not everything can go picture perfect in iSurv1vor, but at the same time, there are veterans in there who should know well enough that the Scavenger Hunt is one of the most difficult challenges to do, since it does take up quite a lot of time individually. If he uses the Salvation Cup on Izzy (Which is well-deserved, not saying that) then that means Desiree is in danger of being voted out early, which may cause a huge shake up in things. He also needs to think about how if he were to not make the attempt to save Desiree (as far as the alliance goes, not the cup) then he has a high chance of being dethroned at Tribal Council. Carlos - I am glad that he is on the bottom, after how he has been so confident in everything he has done and how he has been trying to lie to everyone and get his way. Even while he is talking about needing people, he can't stick to people for even a day without talking about how he wants to vote that same person out or get rid of them! SUCH A FLOP! I'm glad Travis made the right choice and voted for Davis (I love Davis, by the way but it was the right move for him). He honestly needs to be voted out if they go to Tribal Council! He is way too dangerous to keep around in the game, and not the good dangerous either. So, now he is going to try to target another one of his old allies, Travis, and make everyone worried about him. You are still everywhere in this game, girl bye. Desiree - I couldn't pull anything from her last confessional, but all I will say is that I am concerned for her! She really needs to pick it up in the Scavenger Hunt challenge. From what I know, she did well in Tibet's SH, didn't she? I would really hate to see her be at risk of elimination so early! She has been loyal to Ricky, Izzy, Kyle and Stephanie the entire time, so I mean, Ricky should be thankful for her loyalty, even if she is dead weight (which, understandably is looked down on). Dylan - He's alright for now. Not in the high water or the deep part of the sea. He made a good move by voting the way the majority did. At this point in the game as far as their tribe is concerned, it would be extremely risky to pull something off without people finding who flipped on who. He seems to be in an OK position, but I hope that he sticks to what he has, and doesn't do anything stupid. Fabian - For some reason, he is looking more cute for me! (oop) But, game wise, he is still a wildcard for me. I don't know what to say about him, nothing negative of course, he just might need to branch out more and make more relationships to make his game more interesting. I understand how he feels about Desiree! It sucks, because he has done more then her in the challenge too! Izzy - I really like that iSurv1vor tattoo! Really simple, but it gets the job done! She has herself in a good spot, because she has done a lot in this challenge and is really surprising people with how much she has put forth. A lot of people thought she would just float, but hey, she is actually being thoughtful about what she does and has herself in a pretty nice alliance, in my opinion. I think she will definitely make it by this round, no matter what happens. Reynolds - I think he is alright in the game for now. Him and Stephanie have put themselves in the middle, but I am glad they know that sticking with Ricky/Izzy/Desiree is the way to go. Real life comes first, and those are some important tests, so I hope he does well with all that. At least he is contributing something, and not nothing. I hope you move along gracefully, beautiful man! I love how he is always so calm and collective too. Shon - Well, I was originally going to say that I know I have been negative about him most of the game, but after watching the first confessional and heading to the second one, he just is everywhere for me right now. He wants to go after Carlos, got called out by Carlos and said he was tired of him, while in the next confessional it discusses how he doesn't like everyone (again...) and explains how Kate should go next and how he will make the attempt to talk to Carlos and say he has his back? UGH, floptastic. I have a feeling I'm going to get a heat of hate after explaining how I feel (as a viewer watching him as a PLAYER, not a PERSON), but he just needs to start cementing himself in something, because everyone will eventually try and piece together that he will be jumping from one person to another and get him voted out if he does that. Kate - I am glad she has decided that jumping ship would be a good idea to do. She doesn't deserve to go so early though, which saddens me because now everyone thinks she is also guilty of association with Carlos, thus, some people want her out. If she sticks with Dylan and somehow manages to survive, that would be amazing. She is extremely emotional and plays with her heart, which to be honest, I do too. I dislike when people lie to me and would prefer if something goes on, you can just tell me instead of telling me AFTER it is done. I hope that she can recover and work something out to her advantage. I'm concerned for her though. That is all for now.

Oh man Davis leaving was such a bummer to watch leave Really was hoping Kate would go seriously have no idea why she is here ? Nicole's whole entire tribe dynamics are a mess I mean she has her boyfriend on the tribe and an ex coach but then she also has other people on her tribe whom are all over the place! Mandy the fact that you guys get rid of Davis over Carlos and now your considering teaming up with Carlos is just crazy to me Carlos only has one goal and that is to win he seems to be one of those that will cut you at any point to further himself. Dylan is in an iffy spot I feel right now I'm not really sure how things would keep going if there tribe kept losing I have to go catch up on some more confessionals because I've been kinda spending all my time watching the scavanger hunt stuff To comment on that I'm honestly surprised with how much both tribes are doing I wouldn't say I'm super impressed at all but they look pretty close in how much they have done it seems.

Weird to see Carlos in such a defeatist mood. He was a big talker this whole time... but now that his back is against the wall, he is a completely different person. Why not try? I don't understand! Dirty D would have tried... but this guy can go curse up a storm about fake people in the cemetery.
Once again, I can't hear desiree's confessionals.
I think Dylan needs to do something to distance himself from Nicole. I know it would be hard but I think if either of them want a shot in this game, they are going to need to distance themselves from one another. I'd like to see Dylan go far but I think as long as Nicole is coach / in this game, its not happening.
I love that Jay starts all his videos with Its Ya Boy, Jay! I think Im jumping on the jay train! Planting seeds... but I think if he approached reynolds about dethroning Ricky, he's screwed! oh man! The new kate for Ricky.. LMAO! After watching Steph's video, looks like Jay has no idea of the social makeup of his tribe... #Downfall
Kate had a whole lot of "If the other team didn't..." but really, you should be talking about "We should have..." but anyway. I think she will be headed to the cemetery this round. I think her friendship with Ricky will be her downfall. People see that. People need to cut off Ricky's allies to weaken him, since they cant take him out, yet.
but in all seriousness... can someone tell Des to fix her sound?
