Down With The King

This is the third episode of Survivor: Kamome Island

Challenges
Reward/Immunity Challenge: In The Barrel One tribe member crams into a tiny barrel. Then, other tribe mates, who are attached at the waist, will roll the barrel up and into a special barrel-shaped cradle. The barrel dweller will then hop out, climb onto the barrel, and untie a bag of balls and then hop back into their barrel. The rollers will back the barrel out of the cradle, proceed to the next stand and continue the ball-retrieving process. There are four cradles in all and they are arranged in a zig-zag pattern along the course. Once all four bags have been retrieved, the barrel will be rolled into a final cradle and the inhabitant will burst forth to present the rest of the tribe with his or her bounty. The four remaining players will then roll the balls up a skeeball structure. The first tribe to land six balls in place wins immunity. Reward: Tarp or pillows Winner:

Night 6
The Senshi tribe returns from Tribal Council. Ally mocks Luke’s position in the minority, who just ignores her. J.T. attempts to talk to Luke but Ally says ‘He’s not worth it’ and the two go to sleep. Walker and Winslow converse by the fire where Winslow tells Walker about Julie’s attempt to flip himself and Carly to get J.T. out. Walker says it obviously didn’t work since the two voted with them and they have nothing to worry about. Luke and Heather meet with each other and lament their position in the game.

"senshi"

- Right now, this tribe is at the mercy of J.T. We basically have to do what he tells us or else we go and it sucks.

"senshi"

- Rachel went home tonight and it is thrilling to be in the majority. So the next we go to Tribal, we can send Luke packing because he is a threat.

Day 7
At Sento-Ki, Kim begins her day with her routine yoga exercises, while Ben and Kenneth watch. The two make playful jokes towards Kim, which causes her to laugh and slip. When asked if she was ok, Kim continues to laugh due to her mishap. Andrea watches from the shelter and rolls her eyes.

"sento-ki"

- Kim annoys me. She’s doing her yoga or whatever, and slips and lands on her face and then laughs about it with her boytoys. I really want her ass gone.

Gerard comes back from catching fish for the tribe and asks Carter and Andrea to collect more wood for the fire so they can eat breakfast. They agree and go out into the woods. While walking, they make petty comments about Kim and her yoga routine. Andrea keeps saying that Kim is just an annoying person who’s just gonna go far based on her looks rather than strategy, despite her believing she’s not pretty. The two laugh as they bring the wood back.

"sento-ki"

- Kim is one annoying girl, I’ll tell you that. For some reason, the guys here think she’s pretty and will keep her around just for that. I bet she just does yoga to stay in shape and she wears a girdle at home. (laughs)

Meanwhile, Kim and her alliance talk about the next vote by the water. Kim wants Carter or Andrea gone next but Ben suggests to allow Chelsea to name who she wants out so she feels more welcomed into their alliance and whoever Chelsea wants out, they will vote. Chelsea says she would rather vote Danielle due to her laziness in camp, but secretly wants Ben out.

"sento-ki"

- Right now, I’m in between two alliances. There’s Kim’s alliance and then there’s Carter’s alliance. Kim’s alliance basically said ‘You want to feel more welcomed with us? Ok, name someone and we’ll vote them off.’ I told them Danielle because she doesn’t help, but I also don’t feel safe with Ben. While he’s one of our strongest guys, everyone loves him and he’s one of the better social players in the game. I still need time to mull it over.

Andrea and Carter return to camp with the firewood and Gerard begins to cook fish. The two begin to make snide remarks again, this time with Kim listening. Kim tries to keep her cool but once Andrea makes a remark about her weight, she flips out. Kim calls Andrea and Carter ‘two of the worst people she’s met in her entire life’ and wishes they would lose so they can vote them off. Carter says to not get overconfident because her torch would be the one getting extinguished. Kim calls Carter out on his hypocritical statement about being cocky but he ignores her, saying ‘your fat ass will be walking out of tribal before me and I will relish in that moment’ before going to sleep.

"sento-ki"

- Carter and Andrea are two of the most petty people I’ve had the displeasure of meeting. If it wasn’t for Chelsea wanting Danielle out, they would get their asses handed to them.

"sento-ki"

- Kim can talk all she wants, she knows she’s next and her boytoys will have to find a new plastic girl to follow.

At Senshi, Luke gathers fish for the tribe while Ally watches. Ally asks if he thinks that will keep him in the game longer, to which Luke ignores her. Walker comes over and takes Ally away so Luke can continue fishing. Julie comes down to ask forgiveness from Luke but Luke shuns her. Julie says she understands and wishes she could do something to help the electrician but Carly refuses to flip. She also says she will try to keep the target off him for as long as possible.

"senshi"

- I feel bad for putting Luke in the spot he is in but I have no choice. The only option I have to keep Luke in the game is to try to get J.T. and Ally to target Heather or Drew, which will be a difficult task to say the least.

"senshi"

- I really didn’t want to talk to Julie because of what she did last night. I can only trust one other person, that being Heather.

Luke and Heather meet up and talk about their situation. Heather says they might as well convince the majority to vote out Drew since no one is budging and Luke agrees. Unbeknownst to them, Drew is listening in on their conversation.

"senshi"

- Luke and Heather want to backstab me? No way! I’m gonna have full control of this game in just a matter of days, just watch.

Drew relays this information to J.T. Ally and Julie. J.T. thanks Drew for the information and tells him he is safe at the upcoming Tribal Council and Luke is leaving next. This begins to worry Julie.

"senshi"

- Drew basically told me Luke’s plan and I’m not gonna fall for it. Luke will go next.

"senshi"

- I want Luke in this game because I do want to work with him in the future. If I’m to get him to stay, I need to put a ‘down with the king’ ideal in J.T.’s head to take out Drew, which is gonna be tough, but not impossible.

Julie, Walker and Winslow then take a walk in the woods. Winslow reaffirms the plan to get rid of Luke at the next Tribal Council, where Julie puts her plan into motion. She asks them if tribe strength is a factor to keeping the tribe as strong as it possibly can until the merge. Walker agrees but Winslow is not so sure. Winslow states they also need a tribe that will stay united no matter what and Luke would flip if given the chance while Drew has shown loyalty to the tribe. Julie then says that if they get rid of Drew now, they could possibly win the rest of the challenges and it wouldn’t matter if Luke flipped since they would still have the numbers. Winslow begins to see Julie’s point.

"senshi"

- At first, I was all aboard the ‘Let’s get rid of Luke’ train but after hearing Julie’s point of view, I’m not so sure.

"senshi"

- I love how it isn’t even J.T. running the alliance anymore. If this works out, I could have control.
