Survivor 37, Episode 13

"WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY" Final Six The finale 💃 starts with everyone going on an idol hunt. And we are positive we'll never forget Angelina's. First, she finds the clue that says the idol is hidden in the tall rock behind the well and she'd need a ladder buried in the sand to reach it. While digging the ladder out, however, she accidentally drops the clue. She hides the ladder for later, but upon realizing that she has lost the clue and it can now fall into someone else's hands, she decides to go back and look for the idol immediately — so she starts climbing the hill. And omg shame on us for enjoying this too much. Failing to find the idol and returning to the well, she now has to concoct a story, complete with tears, about falling off a tree to cover her idol hunt. The idol hunt is then paused for the first immunity challenge, which is the Survivor giant obstacle course with 63 puzzle pieces to solve at the end, and it comes w...

"ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY" Yeah, they are all back at camp after the Gabby vote, awkwardly fist-bumping Christian, who says, at 15 votes now, he's close to the Survivor record for having the most votes, which is 19.

What? Why are you giving off the impression that you have two idols when you only have one ?? Davie is not buying this, by the way, so he keeps looking for the idol. For reward the next day, each player has to race through an obstacle course while attached to a rope that has to be untangled long enough, allowing them to knock on a set of blocks using a bunch of sandbags. The winner will be taken to a beach club by helicopter and enjoy a ton of food. Davie wins and chooses to bring Nick. Jeff allows a second person to be picked and asks ...

"SO SMART THEY'RE DUMB" The episode starts on the night of the Carl vote. Nick isn't too happy with Christian and Gabby for the blindside  —  no prize for predicting this. While he reserves his actual reaction for confessionals, he reminds Christian how they've used three advantages to control the numbers, and now it's gone. But we are on a schedule here, so we pause any plan for retaliation for now for the loved ones visit. Not much to report, except that 1) we all like Christian's girlfriend, Emily. 2) Angelina has to tell her mom about her rice sacrifice, which I suspect may have involved some probing on Survivor gods' part. And we cut to Alison's reaction to it: 3) Mike and his boyfriend Josh really, really don't like PDA, which is fine. Or, it's none of our business, really. So, for reward, they are paired up to race, crawl and dig for a set of keys buried in the sand to release a pair of balls and land them on an overhe...
