Previously on iSurv1vor:
- The seasonal Scavenger Hunt was the main staple in this episode, pushing everyone to do anything and everything they could to showcase their determination to win this challenge, putting all embarrassment aside. With standout performances by Izzy, Carlos, Kate and Travis, while some did not perform as well as expected, such as Shon, Mandy and Desiree.
- At the end of the challenge, Al-Salt was sent to Tribal Council, with Amman winning by a 21 point lead, while Derby and Davis pulled their weight at the Cemetery, burying yet another castaway.
- Before Tribal Council could occur, two castaways were caught cross-tribaling, which meant that everyone involved had to be punished. In the end, Nicole was forced to make a choice on who she wanted to save with her Salvation Cup between Dylan or Shon. Shon was sent to the Cemetery.
- 14 are left, who will be voted out next?

Desiree - I understand where she is coming from about wanting to keep Reynolds around but keep some distance between them. I agree with her on everything she said regarding the Shon situation, but it's over now and there isn't anything more to say. She has made up some good points about winning previous challenges in her season of Tibet, so whatever challenge this is, I hope that she pulls through and manages to help try and win (again) for the tribe!
Stephanie - She seems to be really worried about her game since her #1 ally Reynolds was a part of that whole ordeal. I think she is still in a good spot, but they are down a number, which makes me wonder what the other side would do with that. I hope she sticks around, because if she was to be targeted for this situation, even though she did nothing wrong, would be sad. I'm glad Desiree is giving her the time to talk and have her continue, but Stephanie needs to understand that since Reynolds did that, it isn't so easy to just jump right back on board.
(That was the only confessionals I saw up) That is all I have for now.

I am just glad I got rid of Shon from the Fantasy Game!
Watching confessionals right after this lesson plan!

Ricky - I am really going to hold him to the quote he made: "They are not going to win this season" (Meaning Jay / Carlos) because I really agree they shouldn't make it that far into the game. It is good to hear from him that no matter how he felt about Desiree's performance, he would be willing to still have her back, be loyal and work with her throughout the entire game. I hate to say, because I love Desiree, but Ricky would beat Desiree at the end, and if it was anything else, I would be stunned, because look at Ricky's relationships and how well he has made it through the game at this point. I think he is in an extremely good position but I'm always interested to see how he will do when he goes to his first Tribal Council, and who he would use the Salvation Cup on. Working with Patia is a little risky, because maybe she might talk to Jay about everything Ricky will spill to her and could get him in a huge ordeal, but I don't think Patia would be the type of person to cause a scene. I wonder how that friendship will pan out as it grows. Nicole - Nothing for Episode 6 yet. Carlos - The entire cheating situation has put him back into a power position it seems like! Ugh, it bothers me. If they go to Tribal Council again, and his plan is successful, he is getting rid of Mandy which sucks, but I understand that move ONLY because she has not done much in challenges and is on vacation (when you read this don't hold this over my head, it is just what everyone in the game is saying ). Carlos is literally smack dab in the middle and is the swing vote, but he wasn't even being voted out last round to begin with. He manipulated (almost) everyone to vote for Kate but she was spared because of Shon / Dylan's dreadful mistake. Talking about merge numbers already? I hope he doesn't make it, he is way too dangerous to bring forward! He is also planning to dethrone Nicole and try to get her voted out before the merge to?! NICOLE, AS MUCH AS YOU MAY HAVE LOST A LOT, DON'T LET HIM TAKE YOU OUT! Dylan - Yawn. What he needs to realize on his own is Carlos is sneaky and very deceptive and that he needs to be targeted and not Kate. As he has already explained, Carlos is indirectly throwing him under the bus without saying his name and making the entire situation more difficult to cope with. What Dylan should do is try to pull in Kate and Mandy, get Nicole to use the Salvation Cup on Mandy and then Dylan, Mandy and Kate could vote out Carlos, while Carlos and Travis vote some type of way. I think that would be an amazing move, but I am probably dreaming. He should feel bad about the Kate situation. I would feel disgusting to talk to someone for an hour and tell them they will be okay just to know in your mind that they will be voted out, and she would have been if it wasn't for that incident. He should be straightforward with her, honestly. Fabian - Such a cutie. I love his reaction to the situation, I agree with him on it. (That's all he talked about in his newest confessional). Izzy - Nothing for Episode 6 yet. Jay - Nothing for Episode 6 yet. Kate - Nothing for Episode 6 yet. Mandy - She was so random this time! Lol, she made me smile! "I told Kate she was hot, so maybe she'll want to flirt with me or help me, I don't know." I hope that she does well in the challenge, and flirting never gets you anywhere missy! Lol. Travis - Nothing for Episode 6 yet. That is all for now.

This challenge... is this the one Brookie went home on or Nicole, in India? This is exactly like the challenge that Nax gave us all the answers too and Ricky's game took a huge hit!
I can respect carlos' game... he'd rather play that sit back and watch as he gets voted out. '
I love that Izzy drops a confessional whenever, where ever..
I dont know if Jay's plan will work. I mean, I think it would work 1 or 2 attempts but after that I think( I HOPE ) Nicole would be smart enough to realize what is going on...
Guess well see...

I hate that Carlos is in a better position now and honestly I love Mandy to death but if not now she will go soon she doesn't seem as invested as she usually is .Desi is really surprising me this time around and I am always waiting to see what she says next and I liked what she said about the whole drama. I am still on the fence about her wanting to keep Reynolds around. Still catching up on the few other ones.

Amman has LOST the Immunity Challenge, and is going to Tribal Council.
Reynolds goes in to Tribal Council with his vote already cast for himself. That leaves 6 votes in play.
If Jay already has Patia and Fabian, he needs to target Reynolds and NOT Desi or Izzy. Des and Izzy are only threats to be dragged to the end, while Reynolds obviously has strong connections elsewhere and is a huge threat. He's the Daniel or Stewart that you want to knock out pre-merge. If they target Reynolds, it will be 4 votes against him, Reynolds goes.
Coach vote, they should bring Ricky off his high horse: will 3 votes = a majority? Put Izzy or Desi as coach to take away someone who would vote with Ricky.
But that Salvation Cup could change it up. If Ricky plays it on Reynolds' cheatin' ass, Jay goes. And IF they successfully get out Reynolds and knock Ricky down, Izzy or Desi may - or may not? - use the cup on Ricky the following round. I would hope Izzy and Desi would be smart enough to save the other. Post merge, those girls can slide to the end like Tierra together, while Ricky will only draw fire to their alliance.

Since I know there are new confessionals, I will post a update.
I am glad that Al-Salt won their first challenge, but at the same time, I am nervous to see what goes on at Tribal Council for the Amman tribe.
Nicole - I understand Nicole's frustrations and I am glad that she is finally saying what she needs to say! It is not her fault that Kate was going to be targeted, it was a mix between Carlos and Travis, out of everyone. If what she is saying is true, then Ricky is digging himself a really bad place in Nicole's game, because she will want to vote him out / not work with him anymore because of how he keeps talking down to her and presenting himself so demanding to her. She has her own game and wants to do what is good for HER and she should do that. I am curious to see how that pans out for her. Ricky can't rely on Nicole for stuff forever, she may be his best friend outside the game, but she shouldn't give up her opportunity to win for him.
Carlos - I am not too happy that he is still around in the game, but I like how he throws a hissy fit when someone tries even slightly to have a conversation about any other idea other than this. I mean, I'm not sure if Travis is with socials or not by how he has been lately, but I hope Travis realizes that Carlos should not be kept around too long, otherwise it will destroy everything for them. With the merge getting closer, Carlos getting farther has me worried.
Ricky - He made some really good points because all of what he said is true. Although I don't agree with constantly badgering Nicole, it makes sense because he wants to try and get everything and anything he can out of her. Ricky and Nicole are being so polar opposite right now with what they want to happen in the game, and Dylan is just sitting back and watching. The Veteran Alliance would sound amazing but I'm still wondering (other than saying how Dylan is polar opposite from Ricky from what Nicole said), why won't he take the opportunity? I know there are plenty of mental people left, but Ricky is a dangerous person to try and go against, and I think that will cost Nicole and Dylan if they try to do anything too major.
Izzy - I am glad that no matter what is going on, she is willing to stay loyal to the alliance that she is in. I am curious to see what their alliance plans to do and how she will react to it. I will say it again, she is an amazing spot in the game at the moment!
Jay - SEND HIM OUT! Everyone has the opportunity to take this guy out! A good move would be for Fabian to turn and just vote Jay out. If Ricky gave him the Salvation Cup, I'd get sick. I think Desiree is smart enough to realize that Jay would want to try and go after her and I'm glad she won't give him the time. If she was to get voted out before him, that would be devastating. Throwing Stephanie out of the blue into the mix? That is so pathetic and it just proves that he will target the people that he 'wants to try and work with' which reminds me of someone similar, AHEM, CARLOS.
Kate - I am so thankful she is still around. She is so lucky to be around, otherwise she would have been voted off this past round. I hope she manages to pull through and make it into merge. Her last confessional didn't explain much for me.
Mandy - Glad she also gets to stick around for another round!
Patia - I am glad that she is taking the time to finally weigh out her options. She would go extremely far in the game with Ricky / Des / Izzy / Steph if she votes out Jay. I think she is in a nice spot and could make merge. I like how she talks about having her own goat and having it be either Ricky or Steph, which in her eyes it may seem that way, but you'd actually be one of Ricky's many shields if he needs to go against anyone.
Travis - Not much to say about him. He's always good in my book, but just nothing personally worth noting from the confessionals at the moment, for me.

I'd love to know how Derby and Davis went from having a 2v1 thing going against Shon at Redemption to Shon somehow overcoming the odds to take out Derby who many see wanted to come back into the game. It goes to show that #PlayToWin is always in effect - there's definitely no love between Davis and Shon so the next player to the Cemetery will be very valuable to form a deal with either the Physical or Social.
I am elated with Al-Salt winning Immunity and knowing it wasn't a throw from Amman's side is a testament to their strength. Shit, maybe Davis and Shon were the right choices to go after all! This tribal will be exciting just because Fabi, Izzy, Jay and DesireƩ are going to get their hands dirty and what better way than to devour each other which is the stupidest fucking thing to do right now! Maintain your numbers for a merge and send your weakest to the Cemetery! From what I've seen (and I'm probably way off base) either Fabian or Jay will leave and I know that Ricky is definitely pro-Jay leaving so I cannot possibly see a scenario where he is going to piss off the tribe especially when he's at risk of being de-throned in the process.
If it was me on Amman, I would push for a Reynolds boot. Jay is a bigger target to hide behind later on, Patia is the sole Physical player so would possibly entertain the thought of eliminating the Socials (who lets face it are sucking) and Izzy, Fabi and DesireƩ are strong in their own skillsets. Put that on top of the self-vote from the penalty he's already unstrustworthy and after being dragged through the coals with Production I can't possibly see him getting the win.

Tucker,
The challenge at the Cemetery relied on the players to listen and keep track of all the pieces themselves. When we ran it again with Al-Salt and Amman, one of us assisted and wrote each move in the chat. But in both cases, keeping track of the board, where pieces were, which were revealed, was entirely up to the players.
Derby quickly lost track of pieces. She was trying to move down toward Shon, but kept taking out Davis instead. She had one good corridor leading directly to Shon's board, but blocked it off with a Bomb, which Shon recognized as never moving and therefore didn't touch. Another bomb locked in a piece of Derby's, so her final moving piece couldn't move.
Davis also lost track of the pieces. Toward the end I saw a perfect opening for him: Shon's Colonel (highest ranked piece in this version) was one square too far away to stop him. The flag was there behind a bomb. Davis just had to blow the bomb with his Spy, then move his Colonel in to the flag behind it. Did he know what it was? He knew those squares didn't move, and if he could read Shon's strategic mind, putting the flag behind the bomb makes sense. Pretty much everyone did that. He could've won, but he moved backwards instead.
Shon proved that one COULD keep track of the pieces just by listening. His board was a perfect copy of Production's, minus all the names on Davis and Derby's pieces. He added those in as they were revealed. He set his pieces up well to begin with, and he thought a few moves ahead. He drew them in. The ran into each other instead of him. He kept his cool, he didn't get rattled by the other two ganging up on him.
In the end, Derby lost all her moving pieces, and it was just between Shon and Davis as to who could reach her flag first. She had already lost.

Can't believe Derby is out and her and Davis couldn't take Shon So lame
Well I would say it's refreshing seeing Al-Salt win for once but I for one think this tribal could get become very messy I would love to see Jay stay but he's going about it the wrong way, I feel his best chance to stay is to try and get rid of Reynolds while he still has the self vote. I'm also excited to see what sides Fabian will decide on committing to this round
Patia she is really boring and doesn't give me much insight on her game at all
Stephanie I do think she is vulnerable but I also think she will be just fine
Kate Hmmm her confessional was boring but I think it's funny she really connects with Dylan but yet he wants her out lol
Carlos is still in the game! He's done some work on his tribe mates that's for sure while I don't think he's completely out of the fire yet I think he's been doing well making better impressions on people sense Davis left
Reynolds isn't saying much this round...
Nicole definitely has to prove herself a lot in this game I think she will have a hard time surviving come merge if Ricky and Dylan are still there

I'm shocked Al-Salt won. I'm happy bc I love Kate and I think this would be good for her.
I'm hoping Jay and Stephanie are safe. I think Jay is to cocky and I think he would be the perfect kind of person to take to the end. Jay=Kay. No pun intended. I think that Fabi may become the target and not Reynolds. With his self vote, he would be useless and has zero impact on the result of tonight. So he wouldn't be targeted.
My hopes are that Fabi goes, but I see that Desi or Izzy may be the targets bc the relationship with Ricky seems to be hurting them.

I'm just catching up, but honestly, I'd compare watching this game right now to something to similar to watching a soap opera. Like, you can miss a week, but you're still on the same day's drama. I'm not seeing a lot of free thinkers and strategy switching that I was reaaaaally looking forward to seeing this season. Like, where are the paranoid fucking people that come up with 12832973 plans and switch shit up and talk to everyone and drink 2 bottles of wine in paranoia?!?!? Everyone is just coasting along and falling right into place for RICKY to just dominate this thing to the end.
Speaking of Ricky, he's brilliant to get all of these people to trust him so wholeheartedly when he's CLEARLY the biggest threat in the game. Like come on people... I can't hate his game, it's freakin' genius, but makes all those falling into place look pretty sad. I really want to shake Ricky's whole entire tribe to have them wake up from the trance they're under, but let's all as viewers pray for a merge or some kind of shake up to light a spark under these folks.
I love Desi to death personally, but I'm just super confused by her strategy this game... it's very reminiscent of her strategy in Tibet, but she's just playing a different persona, which is so blatantly not her and unnatural. It's like I'm watching a completely different person. The Tibet baggage, although she'll claim she's worked it all out, is looming and making her overact in the opposite direction personally, but she is subconsciously still playing a similar game because that's just what's natural. I just hope she can see it before the same thing happens to her again - all of her trust is literally in 2 people, with her social game being a little bit of a mess. Get it together, girl.
I'm really holding out hope that Patia can really seize on the opportunities that are being presented to her and dominate this game subtly. I don't necessarily like the person that's out in the open with their game play, but I like the sneaky motherfucker running shit from the background, but smiles and plays like they're dumb AF. I could see Patia being this person... but she has to own it. I haven't seen her own some of the opportunities for her to do this yet in the game.
RIP #ItsyaboyJay
The other tribe... same shit, different day. Will someone self implode already?! I needs some drama.

I am glad to see that Jay is finally sent to the Cemetery, and I hope that he does not make it out of there because that would be a crazy thing!
In Carlos' new confessional, he talks about how his game is going downhill now that Jay is out! Well, hey that is a good thing for everyone else, because you lie to everyone and are a huge villain to begin with. It's only fair.
Loved Desiree's reaction to the elimination. This obviously was not a shocking Tribal Council and what happened, needed to happen. I am interested to see who wins at the next Cemetery battle and how the next challenge will pan out!
