'Survivor: Edge of Extinction' Episode 9

Wow! Yet another great episode of Survivor! First off, looks like Survivor isn't doing the "previously" part anymore, just right to the game. Alright, not bad. Anyway, good job getting Julia out. Although, David & Rick did waste the idol, it's ok, because it was so crazy, it was worth it. And now, the aftermath. Such as WarDog creating his new alliance of the Lesu 3 including him, Ron, Julie & Gavin and the six setting their first target, Aurora. You know, at first, WarDog seemed like some crazy dude, but I am liking him more and more each episode. He is getting a lot better at the game. And at the immunity challenge, the castaways had to hold up a pot over a fire using handles without dropping. Plus, there was an opportunity for pizza, beer, & root beer by not participating in the challenge. A few people such as Wentworth & Lauren (as well as Ron & Victoria). The others fought, but ultimately, Aurora (who knew she was on the outs) won it! Before Tribal Council, the six-person alliance agreed to vote David out since Aurora won immunity and David is a powerful player. David & Rick, knowing they were in trouble, tried to rally Aurora, Victoria, Ron & Julie to vote out WarDog. They seemed interested, but Ron was unsure. At Tribal Council, the argument began of the Lesu 3's power and how good David was. It was a battle for Ron & Julie's loyalty. Ultimately (to my disappointment), David was voted out and sent to the Edge of Extinction. Honestly, I truly hope he does what Rick did and wins his way back in the game. The next day, the castaways on Extinction Island all got bottles with clues to an advantage. While most of them thought they knew what it meant, they ended up empty handed. But, David got it right and found an advantage, which was an advantage to give to a player still in the game, as we soon find out, was Rick. At the next challenge, Rick gave Jeff his advantage, which revealed he got an advantage in the challenge. The challenge was that the castaways had to balance five balls on a disc and get them to stay in spots, one at a time. Rick only had to get four to win thanks to his buddy, David and it paid off as Rick Devens won individual immunity. Before Tribal Council, WarDog realized that the Aurora boot seemed too easy, so he decided that the best move would be to blindside his ally since day one, Kelley Wentworth. He spoke to everyone on the outs about it and they all agreed. He even spoke with Ron, who definitely considered it but didn't want to piss off Julie, who wanted Aurora out. Wentworth started to get worried though, considering playing her idol. Then, Aurora tried to gain some favor by handing Ron her extra vote, saying that she trusts him and he'll keep it if she gets voted out and they'll work together if Wentworth goes. So, Ron got the idea to still vote Aurora out and keep the advantage (Sarah did that to Sierra in Game Changers), or he could still make a big move and blindside Wentworth. At Tribal Council, Vata spoke about blindsides, as well as, how you know it's you if everything seems too comfortable. And apparently, SOMEONE should've listened to that and played their idol. But alas, they didn't, and Kelley Wentworth, the last returnee, was blindsided with an idol in her pocket. Looks like the newbies really wanted the returnees gone and succeeded... for now. So, looks like Kelley Wentworth is on the Edge of Extinction. Big move, nice job, WarDog. WarDog is now a strong contender to win this game. Overall, this has been a great episode of Survivor, and I can't wait to see what happens next week when WarDog faces backlash for his big move, he teams up with Ron & Devens as WarDog & Devens get targets on their backs with Ron playing either side. #Survivor #SurvivorEdgeofExtinction #WarDogGetsBetter #PleaseComeBackDavid #ReturneesBooted #FourReturneesOnTheEdgeOfExtinction #GreatSeason #MoreBlindsides #Blindside #WentworthHadTheIdol
