Top 5 Moments of Episode 7:
1. Post-Elimination Awkwardness: Following the elimination of Jerome “Rome” Cooney, the mood was justifiably jovial, even though Andy Rueda was not thrilled to see his own name written down, prompting Solomon “Sol” Yi to apologize to him and rat out Sam Phalen in the process. Not quite sure how Andy thought that targeting his former Gata tribemates so quickly was a smart idea from here on out, but snaps for the bravery. Nobody was happier than Christine “Teeny” Chirichillo to see Rome go. Also worth noting, the new tribe is named Beka, which means “half-sheqel” in Hebrew, a fact I learned not too long ago on “Jeopardy.”
2. Tree Mail Chaos: With an ominous tree mail that sounded like Edgar Allan Poe meets Dr. Seuss, the possibility of an all-ladies alliance controlling the game was indeed tantalizing even if there is nobody on the level of Parvati Shallow to navigate it to success. At the Immunity Challenge, the resulting mood was tense yet competitive as two groups of six were created. In the end, Kyle Ostwald emerged victorious on the losing team, making him the only player safe from that side. The winning yellow team was all safe along with Kyle, officially reaching the jury portion of the game.
3. The Safe: The yellow team (Andy, Sam, Teeny, Genevieve, Sol, and Sierra Wright) bonded and celebrated, creating an alliance of six to knock off former Tuku members. All the while, unbeknownst to them, a mysterious parchment was right behind them. By the time that Andy decided to look for an advantage, it was as subtle as a sledgehammer. To add insult to injury, he failed miserably. Sol was more successful, ending the misery of this viewer. He was able to send an advantage to someone at risk, which was the most power anyone had in the game, since it allowed the recipient to block the vote, sending them to the safety of camp.
4. The At Risk: The losing Blue team made up of Sue Smey, Rachel LaMont, Gabe Ortis, Caroline Vidmar, Tiyana Hallums, and Kyle (who had immunity) worried about the shot in the dark being successfully played. Or, could they hold off Rachel’s elimination since Gabe is the bigger threat? With that sliver of hope, Rachel had renewed life in the game if Caroline would get onboard.
5. An Important Tribal Council: With the winners watching in safety, Jeff wasted no time probing for answers. Sol opted to give Rachel the advantage, turning the Tribal Council on its head as the former Tuku members were forced to turn on one another. “So, now what?” asked Jeff with glee. Turns out the unlucky recipient that narrowly missed out on being part of the jury was Tiyana. But on the bright side, its jury time and this group has zero jury management skills. This should be fun!
