But That's Not Legal. So I'm Guessing I Missed Something.

‘’’But That's Not Legal. So I'm Guessing I Missed Something.’’’ is the 11th episode of ‘’Survivor: Espana’’

Challenges
‘’’Reward Challenge’’’ ‘’Survivor Smorgasbord’’ You’ll eat 3 of these angulas. These are essentially baby eels. First three to finish will move on to the second round where you'll have to eat a different dish (bull testicles). I'll tell you exactly what it is when we get there. First person to finish that wins. ‘’’Reward:’’’ College basketball tournament tickets, as well as something that will not be disclosed due to spoilers.

‘’’Immunity Challenge’’’ ‘’Vertically Challenged’’ You will race up this huge flight of stairs. When you get to the top, you'll untie a giant cube. You'll then carry it back down the stairs. Once you have all four, you'll stack them in the frame so that all no color repeats on any side. First person to get it right wins.

Previously on Survivor
Raphael was the center of attention, as no one knew whether his previous vote had any loyalty attached to it or not. After winning the reward challenge, Julia tried to talk him into joining them into voting for Matthew. But her decision to drop out of the immunity challenge in exchange for pepperoni pizza made her vulnerable for the first time in a while. This didn't go unnoticed by immunity winner Raph, as he used that reason to join Sue, Matthew, and Susan in voting for Julia, sending her to the jury. Six are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Initial Reactions
As the tribe arrived back at camp, it appears that some discussion is going on.

Jack: Okay, I get why you went against us again, but by Julia specifically?

Matthew: We didn't think we were going to get another chance. Three straight immunity wins, so we had to get her while we could.

Jack: Alright.

Confessional-Jack: With idols out of the game this season, we have to be cautious about this whole thing. Because, although it's easier to get people out of the game, it's also easier to be eliminated. So challenge success is crucial.

Susan: I'm going to go wash up before bed.

Jeffery: Can I join you?

Susan: Sure. I'll just stay in my clothes.

As they swim out, a little bit of concern.

Raphael: Any chance that he's just being cordial?

Sue: Doubt it.

Confessional-Sue: Jeffery wanted to talk to Susan after the challenge. So we need to be on our guard. Because this could screw up the numbers terribly.

In the river, the discussion begins.

Jeffery: We're going out one by one, aren't we?

Susan: It might be not as soon as you're expecting. I have a plan.

Jeffery: What?

Susan: We need to stop beating around the bush and start playing this game. To do that, we need to shrink the majority down a little bit.

Jeffery: So, Sue, Matt, or Raph?

Susan: Yep.

Confessional-Jeffery: Doing business with Susan scares me. But this may be my golden ticket to, at the very least, day 34. So I'm going to have to consider it.

Jeffery: Alright. I'll think about it.

Susan: Think away, Mr. Herbst.

While he's thinking, we get this episode started with yet another title sequence.

Day 31
At camp, Jack and Jeffery are preparing for their ultimate demise.

Jack: How do you think this will happen.

Jeffery: Well, we have to keep fighting. Otherwise, they may not give us a jury spot.

Jack: Or the prize money.

My fanon series has a simplified payout process. You basically just get $1,000 per day. If you make the jury, you get a $10,000 bonus. Finalist, quitters, and ejected castaways are exempt from these rules, and get the usual payout. Seeing that, in this case, we're looking at $43,000, that'd be good enough for me to keep fighting.

Jeffery: Well, hopefully, something will come up.

Confessional-Jeffery: I didn't tell Jack about my discussion last night. I didn't want to be talked out of this. So I'm going to get the word to him as we get closer to tribal.

Let's get to Raphael and Matthew real quick, getting tree mail.

Matthew: Let's read it right now. Give us more time to figure it out.

Raphael: Alright.

Raphael (reading tree mail): You've seen it, now eat it. Do not freak out. Don't worry, just hurry. They're freshest now. Some are young, some are strung. But that's not all. Some are men, just say when. They aren't foul ball.

Confessional-Matthew: What I got out of tree mail was that we would have to eat dead children. But that's not legal. So I'm guessing I missed something.

Raphael: Do you think someone else might have an idea?

Matthew: Yeah. Probably. Let's go ask them.

They walk up towards camp, where Choi and Pena are fishing on the dock.

Sue: Hey.

Raphael: Do you understand this?

Sue reads the note in her head.

Sue: We're eating humans, apparently.

Susan: Yeah, but what about the word strung?

Sue: Oh. We're eating skinny humans, apparently.

Susan: Or drugged up ones.

Raphael: Maybe Jack or Jeffery?

Sue: I just want them voted out. I don't want to eat them.

Jeffery (off screen): We're glad for that.

Jeffery and Jack walk up from behind.

Jack: I am assuming that's tree mail.

Raphael: Yeah. We can't figure it out.

So now Jack and Jeffery are reading the note.

Jack: What about the word ball?

Jeffery: Dead human testicles. That's low even for Survivor standards.

Confessional-Susan: At this point, we're convinced that we are going to have to eat humans. I'm fine with that, but we may see the rest of this cast walking off. In which case, I will be the sole survivor. Yay!

You wish.

Jack: Okay Let's just go and find out.

Matthew: Fine, if you want to take out the magic.

Pre-Challenge Conference
The banquet table is set. Wooden plates in front of 6 chairs.

Probst: COME ON IN, GUYS!

As the tribe walks in, there is something in the air.

Probst: Well, are you ready to get to today's reward challenge?

Six hands just shoot up in the air.

Probst: Well, I'm sorry to say that you will not be playing it today.

This surprised everyone.

Probst: Instead, your loved ones will.

Now everyone's surprised in a delightful way.

Probst: Jack, come say hello to your wife, Salina.

As Salina runs up to Jack, it's about as tearful as it can get.

Salina: I've missed you so much.

Jack: I've missed you too.

Probst: Jack, what's this feeling like?

Jack: Indescribable. I haven't seen my one and only for over a month, so it's definitely a lot of relief.

Probst: Alright. Salina, take a spot at the table. Matthew, say hello to your sister, Danielle.

Danielle runs out. Matthew runs over to her, and hugs her so hard, you're glad it's not you.

Matthew: How is everything.

Danielle C.: It's going okay. Just check your voicemail when you get your phone back.

Matthew: Alright.

Probst: Matt, I'm guessing there's a good feeling going on.

Matthew: You know it. It's hard to describe this. She's been my go to for my entire childhood and whenever I can't tell my wife about it. So this is a real blessing.

Probst: Alright. Danielle, have a spot at the table. Sue, say hello to your father, Tibor.

Tibor, whose name Jeff pronounced as Tib-ore, comes out and hugs Sue.

Sue: Hey, dad.

Tibor: Hey.

Sue is in tears.

Probst: Sue, what's in your mind right now?

Sue: This is the guy who is there for me when I need it the most. No matter what, he is dependable.

Probst: Alright. Tibor, have a spot at the table. Raphael, say hello to your daughter, Mateja.

Mateja, which Jeff pronounced Ma-Ta-Yuh, runs out in a full sprint. Raph started to run out and meet his surprisingly adult looking daughter. But by the time that happened, Mateja had already tackled him.

Mateja: How have you been?

Raphael: Pretty good.

Probst: Raphael, when she got out of the van ride up here. I figured she was a cousin or something.

Raphael: No. I had her at 16. But you raise them right, no matter what. And whatever happens, you love them no matter what.

Probst: Alright. Mateja, have a seat at the table. Jeffery, say hello to your wife, Severina.

As Severina runs out, Jeffery runs up to her.

Severina: I've missed you so much.

Jeffery: Let's win this challenge. We'll fix that.

Probst: Jeffery, let me hear it.

Jeffery: Honestly, being away from the love of my life for the past month has been difficult. Being in this environment as well, it's unimaginably hard to say what this feels like.

Probst: Alright. Severina, have a spot on the bench. Susan, say hello to your grandfather, Bob.

Susan: GRANDPA BOB!

As Bob walks out, Susan is ecstatic. Just in case you couldn't tell.

Susan: Hey, Grandpa.

Bob: Hey, Suzy.

Probst: Susan, any thoughts?

Susan: His health was declining as I left. So the fact that he's out here is a really good sign.

Bob: Don't tell the doctor.

Probst: Alright. Bob, have a seat at the table.

The Reward Challenge
Alright, now we have the introductions through, it's time for the Survivor Smorgasbord.

Probst: Alright, loved ones. Are you ready to get top today's reward challenge?

And just like that, we're back to familiar territory.

Probst: For today's challenge, you'll eat 3 of these angulas. These are essentially baby eels. First three to finish will move on to the second round where you'll have to eat a different dish. I'll tell you exactly what it is when we get there. First person to finish that wins reward for their loved ones. Want to know what you're playing for?

I think it's pretty obvious, though.

Probst: Winner will go back to camp with the tribe. See how they've been living for the past 31 days. And they will get to know this game in a new light. As if that weren't enough, the network has complimentary tickets to the college basketball tournament national semifinals and championship game in Houston. Win, and you will get two tickets. I'll give you a minute to strategize, we'll get started.

A minute later, it's bon appétit.

Probst: Here we go. Put your hands by your waist. Backs against the chair. Loved ones ready? Go!

The relatives begin to chow down.

Tibor: Dang, that's slimy.

Bob: You call that disgusting. I call that fairness.

Susan: I'd puke, but I don't have anything to do that with.

Probst: Think about it like a nice, lively bowl of kale soup.

Mateja: Lively is one way to describe it.

Probst: Severina is almost finished. Open it up. Severina is through. Danielle is close to finished. So is Bob. Danielle, open wide. Not quite.

Bob: Jeff?

Bob's mouth is still open.

Probst: Bob's through. We're looking for one more. Danielle, you ready?

Danielle opens the hatch.

Probst: Danielle is through. Mateja, Tibor, and Salina are out. Go ahead and have a seat on the bench for now.

After the wipe, it's time for round 2.

Probst: Alright. The round two dish is criadillas. Do you want to take a guess as what that is?

Severina: Not really.

Bob: Hopefully, it's meat.

Danielle C.: Chicken gizzards?

Probst: Nope. The locals translate it as bull fries. They are actually deep fried bull testicles. First to finish three wins reward.

Yep.

Probst: Here we go. Hands by your waist, backs against the chair. Loved ones ready? Go.

Danielle C.: I'm in the mood.

This is clear, as she... Well, there's only one way to say it without possibly breaking FCC rules.

Probst: Danielle just... eats the criadillas at an alarmingly quick rate.

Severina: Did we even really have a shot?

Probst: Danielle, open up.

Bob: Not really.

Probst: DANIELLE WINS REWARD FOR MATTHEW!

Matthew gives a huge hug to Danielle. A while later, it's decision time.

Probst: Alright. Danielle, you're headed back to camp. Now it's time to make a huge decision. Matthew, pick one person who will come back with you. They will also receive a $100 Cherryants gift card.

Matthew: Who do you think?

Danielle C.: Well, he put his health on the line to get here.

Matthew: Alright. Bob. Probst: Bob, come on over. Everybody else, I'm feeling nice today. Go ahead and give your loved ones a hug before they leave.

Due to the pesky clock, we have to skip this part. But, nevertheless, that did happen. Just use your imagination.

Probst: Alright. Grab your stuff. Head back to camp.

Afterwards
Back at camp, Matthew and Danielle were in a leaf hut, talking about the game.

Danielle C.: Well, tell me, Matt. What's it been like out here?

Matthew: You see how dirty I am, right? I think that answers your question.

Confessional-Danielle C.: Last time I saw Matt, his wife had thrown him a surprise going away party. He has apparently lost a lot of weight since then. But, obviously, that's Survivor.

Danielle C.: You in the majority?

Matthew: Yeah. We have the emo girl (Susan), the glasses (Sue), and the brown haired guy (Raph).

Confessional-Matthew: To be able to brag about my success in this game to my family is really awesome. I'm just in awe that I'm able to do this. Eight days away from the million dollars. Awesomeness.

Danielle C.: Find an idol yet?

Matthew: They're not in play this year.

Danielle C.: Wow.

Let's get over to Susan and Bob, who elected to stay at the well. Jeffery came up up to get water at that time.

Bob: Also, you're in for a treat. He didn't want me to say anything, but oh well. Ryan wants to propose.

Susan's response was censored.

Confessional-Susan: I basically cussed at the news that my stateside soon to be ex-boyfriend wants to propose. It was not the reaction that Grandpa was expecting.

Bob: What's going on?

Susan: Oh, nothing. It's just, it's only been 6 months. That may be too soon for marriage. And I'm pretty young...

Jeffery: Bullcrap. She's seeing someone else.

Susan: Jeffery, shut up. Grandpa, I don't think you're going to take this news very well, but I learned a month ago that I'm bisexual. His eyes got somewhat orange sized. But he ultimately takes it in stride.

Bob: Well, if you're happy, I'm happy. That's all there is to it.

Susan: Thanks.

Confessional-Bob: I'm outraged at the fact that Susan came out like that. But it's ultimately a game where you cannot be stressed out over stuff like this. So if I don't trick her into thinking I'm okay with it, she'll suffer in the game.

Well, let's talk to the rest of the camp, as they get to meet two interesting people.

Jack: So, we had people with the names Severina, Tibor, Mateja, and Salina, and we get stuck with Danielle and Bob. Story of my life.

Bob: I remember fighting in Korea. My troop had 3 guys named Slyth, Drun, and Valor. These weird names are nothing new.

Confessional-Raphael: We were hanging out after they got time to themselves. We were telling stories about our lives. Interesting ones came up.

Sue: We ended up adopting a cat when I was young. Mom was working the concession stand at the lake. The cat had crawled in through the cooling fan. We ended up naming him Waddles because he waddled around so much. Eventually, he just ran off. But he made an excellent recovery.

Danielle C.: Matt tricked me into thinking that salt heats butter up. He prepared the dish, had me feel over it. Ended up with a hand covered in salted butter.

Matthew: And I ended up with a buttery smooth but still black eye. Confessional-Jeffery: I'm not going to lie. I wish I had thought about that butter trick.

Alright. For a 90 minute episode, we're not doing well with the clock. Stupid loved ones. Oh well. Let's just skip ahead to the next day.

Day 32
Hey, a little discussion in the river.

Matthew: Raph, I'm not sure how to go. Do you want Jack or Jeffery out first?

Raphael: Jack, if we can. He's in the medical world. So he has to be pretty smart. Or at least smart enough to know a thing or two about convincing a jury.

Matthew: Fair point.

Confessional-Matthew: Raph's looking a little hesitant about this discussion. It's almost as if he's got something up his sleeve. But a hunch isn't something that you want to make strategy based on. So I'm going to be watching carefully.

Raphael: Since I'm out here, I'll do some fishing.

Matthew: May as well.

Confessional-Raphael: So the plan is, the girls will vote for Jeffery, while we vote for Jack. Meanwhile, we convince Jack and Jeffery to keep targeting Matthew. This will force a 3 way tie. We mess with him, saying they just didn't hear him correctly or some other crap. Then we take him out unanimously on the revote.

Alright. Sounds like a plan. Meanwhile, we join up with Pena and Choi in one of the shelters.

Susan: My original strategy was to flirt my way to the top, a lot like Parvati. But the two men who weren't married were on the other tribe. So I had to scramble big time for another strategy.

Sue: Oddly enough, you'd end up in a relationship, and I'd end up having an... Wait, 2?

Susan: Yeah. Jeffery and Raph.

Someone wasn’t paying attention yesterday.

Sue: Willis isn't married.

Susan: Really?

Sue: Yeah. He just borrowed his mom's old band so that the strategy wouldn't seem to work.

Susan: That son of a snitch.

Confessional-Sue: Well, that may not actually be the truth. But I'm glad I told Susan that. Because I really need her on my side during this.

Well, whether or not you know it's the truth doesn't stop it from being the truth, as is the case here. Let's go over to today's dishwashers, Jack and Jeffery.

Jack: Okay. So, it's a lovely day. And here we are stuck strategizing a vote we're sure to lose.

Jeffery: Look at it this way. You could be in OR, and I could be in a library shelving books.

Jack: Fair enough. So, do you have any thoughts?

Jeffery: Well, since we were going with Matthew before this whole thing, we may as well stay at it.

Jack: Well, if we're going to the jury box anyhow, no sense flipping the field.

Confessional- Jeffery: I don't want to tell Jack that it was Susan's idea in case this doesn't go as well as I hoped. If Jack goes to the jury, and I'm in the finals, that could mean that Jack will call me out on a bad play, which will tear my chances up. But if it's something simple like that, he will likely overlook it in that scenario.

Jack: Let's do it.

Jeffery: Alright.

Confessional-Jack: The way I see it, they have the very good numbers. Four against two is hard to overcome. So it would take a miracle to get us back into the game. So to go all in to stay in the game is just a waste of energy. But I could use the extra money for my kid's college fund. So I can't quit now.

That Night
Night 32 would actually have an interesting conundrum. As the tribe gathered around the fire, a boat came in, waving its spotlight.

Jeffery: Oh no.

Susan: I wonder what he wants.

Confessional-Raphael: We've all watched this game a myriad of times. So we all know a boat coming in tends to mean medical wants to look at someone. And if Jeff's with them, it seems likely that they're thinking someone is getting pulled from the game.

As the boat pulled up to camp... Well...

Driver (Spanish, captioned): Do you know how to get to the... holy crap. Get in, get in. I'll take you to safety.

Sue: Does anyone here speak Spanish?

Jeffery: I'm friends with a Mexican. I know enough to get by.

It's a legal Mexican, just to be clear.

Jeffery (Spanish, captioned): Everything alright?

Driver (Spanish, captioned): You need assistance. Get in. I'll take you to a hospital.

Jeffery (Spanish, captioned): No thank you, sir. We're actually on a reality television show in the United States called Survivor. In it, you're voluntarily put in a survival situation for five and a half weeks.

Jeffery (English): You're kind of ruining it, actually.

Driver (Spanish, captioned): Okay then. You wouldn't know how far it is to Cala D'or, would you?

It's on the other side of Majorca.

Jeffery: No.

Confessional-Susan: So a boat came by. We were all wondering what fresh hell the game gave us this time around. Turns out, it was just some random guy needing directions. Seems nice.

Driver (Spanish, captioned): Take care.

Well, that was different. Well, back to the everyday routine, right?

Jack: So, who wants rice and fish?

Matthew: I could use a bite.

Confessional-Matthew: I'm not sure what to make of that random boater. First off, it's a little late to be on the river. Second, his destination was on the other side of the island. And finally, he somehow got passed the network's security. So it's definitely weird that that happened.

Sue: So, what did he want?

It's proper dining etiquette not to talk with food in your mouth. But what's etiquette on Survivor?

Jeffery (captioned): Well, he wanted directions, then saw us. Offered to take us to a hospital.

Susan: You think he would've saw the flag.

Confessional-Jeffery: I didn't tell the tribe until now that I'm fluent in Spanish. I could say that it was to make it seem like I'm not too skillful, and likewise threatening. Which would make me look good in front of the cameras. But, no. It just never occurred to me to tell them.

Matthew: Nice cooking, Jack.

Jack: Thanks.

The Immunity Challenge
Well, we have a huge stairwell at the Vertically Challenged site.

Probst: COME ON IN, GUYS!

As the tribe comes in, a huge sense of determination sets in.

Probst: Alright. First thing's first. Raphael, I'll take back the necklace.

As Raph throws the bird over, we're ready to go.

Probst: Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you will race up this huge flight of stairs. When you get to the top, you'll untie a giant cube. You'll then carry it back down the stairs. Once you have all four, you'll stack them in the frame so that all no color repeats on any side.

The dream team shots show that there are only four colors. Red, blue, yellow, and green.

Probst: First person to get it right wins immunity. Guaranteed a one in five shot at one million dollars. This very well could be a million dollar challenge. So I'll warn you in advance. You must carry the cubes down. If you throw one down, you'll be disqualified from the challenge. At this stage of the game, it's not worth it. We'll draw for spots, we'll get started.

After the wipe, it's showtime.

Probst: Here we go. For immunity. Survivors ready? Go!

Everyone heads up the stairs. But some quicker than others.

Probst: It's going to be a long trip up those stairs. And you're going to have to do it three more times after this. Jack off to an early lead. Sue right behind him. They're both working on the knots. Jeffery is working on the knots now. Sue's heading back. Jack's heading back. Susan and Matt are on the knots now. Jack's back with his first cube. So is Sue. They have both lapped Raphael. Susan's heading back. Sue's back on the knots. Jack's back on the knots. Matthew's heading back. Jeffery's heading back. Raph's finally on the knots. Sue's heading back. Jack's right behind her. Susan's heading back.

Raph has finally freed up, but tried to save time.

Probst: STOP! Raphael, you were told you can't throw the cubes. Have a spot on the bench. You're out.

As it didn't hit anyone, there was no need to go to the tapes. So no wipe.

Probst: Alright. Survivors ready? Go!

The restart.

Probst: Susan's back on the knots. Sue is back. Jack is back. Matthew's back on the knots. Sue makes quick work of those stairs and is back on the knots. Jeffery's back with his first cube. Sue is already free, and is heading back. She's already back and is headed for more. Matthew's heading back. Susan's heading back. Sue is on her final set of knots. Matthew's back with his second cube. Sue's heading back. Jeffery's back on the knots. Sue's back. She can start working on the puzzle. Susan's back with her second cube.

She tripped, but she's back.

Probst: Sue is making quick work on the puzzle as well. Already she has two cubes in. Jack is heading back. Sue thinks she has it... SHE DOES! SUE WINS IMMUNITY!

The four still competing heads down the stairs. Sue takes everything in stride.

Probst: Sue, come on over.

The necklace is put around her neck.

Probst: After that blowout victory, Sue is safe at tonight's tribal council. Everyone else, after 33 days, one of you will be the thirteenth person voted out of this game. I'll give you the rest of the afternoon to figure it out. Grab your stuff. Head back to camp.

The Final Scramble
We're back at camp for what I think will be one really good final scramble.

Jeffery: Nice job, Choi.

Raphael: I have to ask. Did you find performance enhancing drugs somewhere?

A pause for figuring out what that meant before the laughter sets in.

Confessional-Sue: So, I've won immunity. And this late in the game, that gives you a lot of power. So I'm going to enjoy tonight.

Susan: Hey. Can I get a little help with the water?

Sue: Alright.

As they walk towards the well, a discussion occurs.

Matthew: So, Jack. It's either going to be you or Jeffery tonight. Tell me why you should stay in the game.

Jack: Well, ultimately, both of us are going to the jury. But I'm worse at challenges.

Matthew: That's not what I saw earlier today.

Jack: Exactly. And I'm a terrible liar too. But is it enough to keep me in? That's up to you four.

Matthew: What about you, Jeffery?

Jeffery: Well, we're playing Survivor. So no matter what you do, you always have to prepare for the unexpected. Something that I think I can help you do.

Matthew: Interesting concept. Raph, let's go see if they need help with the water.

Raphael: Alright.

Which gives us the perfect time to go to the well ourselves.

Sue: So, we're you thinking Jack or Jeffery?

Susan: Actually, I'm wanting to blindside Matthew.

Sue: No way I’m doing that.

Susan: Think about it. There's a division between us. If Matthew doesn't go, then once we get into the final four, Matt and Raph are going one way, and we're going another. As a result, it will end up in the hands of a fire building challenge. Why do you think Raph is the one that's always tending to the fire? To get an advantage in that scenario.

Sue: But if we get one of them out now, then that's pretty much averted, because we're still dealing with the minority alliance at the final four.

Susan: Exactly. Quiet. Here he comes.

Matthew and Raphael approached the well at that point.

Matthew: So, I'm thinking Jeffery tonight. We asked him why we should keep him, and he said that he could prepare us for the unexpected.

Sue: More like he's going to cause it.

Raphael: Well, let's get this water back to camp. Have a drink before we leave.

Susan: Alright. The guys did all of the work, leaving the girls just standing at the well.

Susan: So, are you in?

Sue: Why not?

Confessional-Sue: Well, I can think of a few reasons. One, Susan is thinking that far ahead. So it seems logical that she has a plan up until day 40. Second, she's playing the game very well. That makes her a worthy target to a jury. So mark my vote down as a voting booth decision.

Tribal Council
As the tribe walked into the Tribal Castle, it was clear that not everyone thought they were safe.

Probst: We'll now bring in the members of our jury. Virginia, Ramon, and Julia, voted out at the last Tribal Council.

The jury takes their seat, followed by Jeff.

Probst: Susan, looking back on the past 33 days, we haven't really seen a lot of huge moves. How apt are we to see one tonight?

Susan: That's a huge possibility. We have to be ready for anything, after all. I doubt it. But it's a factor that we have to ultimately consider.

Jack gets this look of confusion.

Probst: Jack, I take it you disagree? Jack: Yeah. This is the point where you make those big moves. You don't want to face this jury and say, "Well, I was the provider" because that was everyone. And we don't have a bunch else to say.

Probst: Matthew, what's your take on this?

Matthew: A huge move would be vital. But if you make it now, you're going to have to win 3 straight challenges. You can lose the next one if you want, but that's it. With no idol to protect your ass, that's what you need to rely on. Because you'll be public enemy number one.

Probst: Well, who knows? It is time to vote. Matthew, you're up.

Matthew (for Jeffery): Sad news today, Jeffery. You're ultimately a threat. You need to go. Plain and simple.

Jeffery (for Matthew): Jeff asked about making big moves. Why do you think that is?

Let's watch Jack walk back to his seat while Jeff says...

Probst: I'll go tally the votes.

Matthew is rubbing dandruff from his hair. Jeffery is hoping that Susan is right.

Probst: Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes. Susan is covering her mouth. She looks ready to vomit, though that's just her look.

Probst: First vote, Matt. Jeff. One vote Matthew, one vote Jeffery. Jack. One vote Jack. Matthew. Two votes Matthew, one vote Jeffery, one vote Jack. Jeffery.

This vote is spelled with only one f.

Probst: We're tied again. Two votes Matthew, two votes Jeffery, one vote Jack, one vote left. Eleventh person voted out of Survivor: Espana and the fourth member of our jury, Matt. That's three, that's enough.

Matthew: you, Pena.

Probst: You need to bring me your torch.

Matthew: This is why women should know their place.

Probst: Matthew, the tribe has spoken.

After the traditional snuffing, Matt throws his buff in the fire before departing.

Probst: Well, clearly you can see that Matthew is pretty ticked off. The question now is, will be still be ticked off this time next week? And if so, will that show in the vote? Grab your torches. Head back to camp. Good night.

A shot of the burning buff comes about as the credits roll.

Next time on Survivor,
Not everything is what it seems at first glance.

Jeffery: Well, that was fun while it lasted.

And a series of delirium sets in.

Jack: I can't tell. I can't tell.

Confessional-Susan: Well that was a good time.

Final Words
Confessional-Matthew: I'd like to apologize to all the women I just ticked off. I was a little frustrated. That's all. I'm definitely concerned that it didn't go the way I was expecting it to. Now I'm confident that Pena will have to watch her back. Because she's a definite threat. But if she does it well enough, she could become a millionaire.

Voting Confessionals
Susan (for Matthew): I needed to make a big move. I was planning to act like it was on a three way tie acting like I misheard you. But upon reflection, there's no point.

Raphael (for Jeffery): Don't worry about it. I'm flipping it on the revote. Sue (for Jack): Throwaway. I'm just hoping that this big move isn't against me.

Jack (for Matthew): That was the plan.
