Kim is still not thrilled about this; she knows that Kat could be in better with the jury, but she still thinks that Sabrina is a bigger threat. “She’s smart enough to sway the jury and totally screw me over in the end.”
Kim talks to Chelsea next and tells her that Alicia now wants Kat to go. Chelsea is surprised but happy to hear this. She thinks Kat is selfish and doesn’t deserve to be in the final three. Chelsea knows Kim would rather vote for Sabrina, but she has been with them from the beginning. In the end, Chelsea tells us, she will vote with Kim; they WILL stick together.
Oh honey. It’s gonna hurt when she stabs you in the back.
Kim is struggling with the decision. While she too appreciates Sabrina’s loyalty, she knows that Kat sees her as a big sister. She sees this as a game changing decision. She’s gotta make a choice and it’s going to be a blindside either way. Time for tribal council! Jeff jumps right into the reward challenge and Kat says it was super hard deciding who to take with her, especially because there were loved ones involved. “It was very frustrating and it does hurt my feelings.”
Did you just say it hurts YOUR feelings?!?!?
You have no idea JUST HOW MUCH Jeff. It’s heartbreaking to have to be so selfish.
Yes, Jeff! It totally hurts her feelings! She didn’t want to see people’s mad faces! She admits that she wasn’t thinking about strategy when she chose Kim and Abitchia to go with her, she just picked the two people she thought she’d have fun with.
There was no way I was going to see next to Poopypants all afternoon!
Jeff still doesn’t get why Kat picked Kim to go on the reward when she didn’t pick Kat last time. Kat admits that strategically she could have picked two different people but she wanted to get her drink on with her girls. Jeff asks Sabrina if she buys into that Kat was not thinking about strategy.
Jeff, I don’t think this girl could think strategically if her life depended on it.
Sabrina says it was just a twenty-two year old thinking about how she wanted to have some fun. Sabrina thinks Kat is going to look back at that choice and regret it because most people out there would have picked Tarzan and Christina. Kat rolls her eyes. Kat reiterates again that she IS twenty-two and hey, she’s a little naïve (you mean STUPID) and she’s sorry that she picked people that everyone else obviously didn’t agree with. Chelsea says that Kat plays the young card every time she fucks up and it is really getting OLD. “Twenty-two is not that young!” Chelsea points out.
Are we going to spend all of tribal talking about me?
She had no idea this was going to happen. Probably because she’s so young. Jeff asks Tarzan to weigh in on the whole thing and he says he knows Kat wanted to have fun with the girls. He’s an old man, she didn’t think about his circumstance or anything. He says things like this don’t hit her yet because she’s too young and hasn’t experienced enough things in her life. The long and short of it? It didn’t bother him at all. Jeff switches gears and asks Abitchia if Sabrina being out first changes her perception of her.
Uh, Yeah. Big time.
She was surprised that Sabrina was out first; she thought for sure it would be Tarzan. What about Kat and Kim duking it out? Abitchia expects nothing less from Kim but she admits that Kat surprised her there; she didn’t know Kat had it in her. Abitchia totally gives her points for hanging in there, but then slams her for acting like such an asshole about Kim not giving up the win for her.
What is happening?
Sabrina tells Jeff it’s getting a little testy back at camp, but at the end of the day she appreciates honesty. To her, that’s when people get respect. Kim thinks being too honest can end up being seen as a threat because if you get to the end it can really help someone out. (especially if they’re going against someone who lied their ass off).
You trying to say something Kim?
Sabrina points out that people will base their votes at the end on things that are important to them. For example, she will not vote for someone that pisses her off (KIM), even if they happened to play the best game. Sabrina will definitely not be forgiving of a blindside. Kat says she wouldn’t get mad at all about something like a blindside. In fact, she can’t wait to execute one since they’re so funny. And exciting.
Kat practices her surprised face
She always thinks it’s excited when something like that goes down. And if it does, cool beans, and if it doesn’t, touché, or, whatever. Time to vote. We see Kat vote for Sabrina and Sabrina vote for Kat. The rest are hidden. So now Jeff will read the votes….first vote, Sabrina. Next vote is Kat. She looks like she knows that one came from Sabrina and doesn’t seem all that worried. Next vote, Kat. She’s now looking a little worried. Kat gets another vote and looks around at her tribemates with growing alarm. Twelfth person voted out…..
Bwahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha …..ohmygodbreathe…..breathe……breathe…. hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god; that actually gets funnier EVERY TIME I watch it. She is SHOCKED and it is SOOOOOOO Funny. And Exciting! She gets her torch snuffed and you can hear her crying as she heads down losers’ lane. I still cannot stop laughing. So what did you think of this episode, Gasmi? Do you think they made the right move getting rid of Kat? Did you find her booting to be funny and exciting? What about her behavior earlier in the episode? Did her humping cousins routine disturb you? What about her lack of sportsmanship? This may be my favorite episode of the season. Well, this and the one where Colon’s body turned his bile against him. Both were FUNNY! And Exciting!!!
Having fun yet Kat?
I am so EXCITED to hear what you all thought of this round, so let’s get to it! See ya soon… SWAK, PottyMouth

I loved this episode…from Kat getting a fun and exciting blindside to Tarzan being so cool at tribal about not going on the reward (which was smart on his part,) this may have been the best episode this season.
Kat and her “cousin?” Creeped me out.
I agree with you, PottyM, about the two best shows this season. They’re the only ones from this dippy season that make me holler with glee and clap. The rest of them…meh.
I did this backassward and read the comments first. Kat and her cousin creeped me out, too. The crawling thing? What was that about? Who crawls like that toward another person? It was icky. And creepy.
And it was also one of the most enjoyable TC’s we have had in a very long time.
TC, Robin
I love the screen-grabs from the night vision camera, they always look so scary.
I love the family challenges but it is really unfair to have such a physical challenge. If it was balancing or holding on, maybe. The best ones are the eating challenges. I think your theory of Kim not wanting to win might be right. Who do you think Kim would have picked to go with her?
Kat’s line before heading off to the reward about getting drunk was amazing. How could she be so stupid? As soon as her ‘cousin’ came out, everything she said made me realize that she really is as dumb as she appears, it is not an act.
Kat attitude after the Immunity challenge was way worse than Troy’s last week. He was at least silent, Kat made a show out of it.
Even with the obvious editing, it was still a shock to see Kat voted out. One of the best surprises of the season, but it was still shocking. I don’t care if it was a good move for the remaining players, it was pure ratings gold.
The same thought crossed my mind as Kim and her sister slowed down a bit. She didn’t want to look like the bad guy again, especially during this emotional family challenge. So, she tanked it on purpose. I have a feeling that Kat’s fate was sealed before this challenge anyway, so it didn’t matter.
I have yet to see the person who was picked “least deserves to be here” kicked out in the same episode. Or in the following episode. Christine was staying. That “Least deserves to be here” puts a bug in folks ears and they get all happy because if they are sitting next to “least deserves” they win! Yaayy.. NOT.
Still have to win challenges.
I dont know what kind of influence Douchezan has on the early jury. But I will bet it isn’t much.
I think Chelsea could go all the way. I also think she could easily sway others to get rid of Kim when the time is right.
Thanks for a great Recap
Robin
No doubt, if Kim really did throw the challenge, we would have known about it, since Kim seems to get 90 percent of the private interviews. But since I don’t have much faith in her gameplay — I think she’s just been lucky that she’s with a bunch of losers this season (and I also suspect either Chelsea or Sabrina or both are using her as their point guard) — I think she really was trying to win. Of course, winning the immunity challenge is more important but she should have thrown that one, since she’s just setting herself up as a too-powerful player to go to the end with.
I’m really hoping Chelsea will sneak up from behind on this one, but she doesn’t seem to have the cut-throat-ability the game requires.
At this point, I’d like to see Kim bring Tarzan to the end — and then watch all of the guys on the jury, plus Kat, vote for him. Not that I want Tarzan to win. But I think it’d be a fitting end to a pretty lame season.
I don’t know why they just don’t get rid of the last penis and then decide the pecking order for the ladies. Clearly these people don’t watch previous seasons, because if they had, they’d know that in the Vanuatu season where the women were also dominant, they imploded at the end instead of taking out Chris, who all the jury penises voted for winning. No matter how annoying Kat may have been, she was nothing more than a vote and the girls should have realized that her sway over the guys is less than Tarzan’s, because he survived for days with the knowledge that he’d be voted out “next.” We all know that in Survivor, gender politics plays a greater role in the game than respected game play and if Tarzan keeps making it, then any woman losing would be her own fault.
I must admit I gave up on this season after Colton left and I wasn’t impressed when I returned this week. Kat’s blindside was one of the better ones I’ve seen and, lastly, Kat must have a higher opinion of herself than Survivor fans do if she thinks that giving Jeff Probst a blow job is going to get her back for another season.
I thought the funniest line of the episode was dingbat Kat crying, “I lost to Kim, and she’s 28! How embarassing to lose to someone six years older!” or something like that. Along with “I can’t believe I went out before Tarzan and Christine!!! WAH!!!” shows how TOTALLY clueless she was about the game.
Excellent recap to an excellent episode. But I have a big bone to pick with TPTB. Letting relatives do a physical challenge is not only unfair to them, it’s stupid. Here’s what will happen, if future survivors thinks it through. Example: instead of picking my older mom with back problems to come on the show, I’ll pick my super-fit brother. Less emotions for the camera, but it might get me some food on a reward.
Anyway, looking forward to some fall out – rooting for Tarzan to win this thing.
@Robin: Yeah, Kat’s crawling was pretty creepy…I think she even barked like a dog at one point! I love her edit and how progressively troll-like she started looking.
I agree that the show has been boring, but I think that there’s been a fair amount of subtle game play going on: I think Kim did throw the comp to get someone else to chose. She is also smart in that if the rest of the group seems to be leaning in a different direction (like this week with Kat), she goes with the majority rather than bully people into her choice like other people do in this show. That way, the rest of her “allies” feel like they are a team and making decision together. That strategy is going to get tougher though.
Sabrina might be playing too by throwing the immunity competition and by broadcasting to everyone how she would have given her place up for Tarzan or Christina. She is trying to be seen as soft and a pushover, probably hoping that Kim will start to get more paranoid about Chelsea (clearly, the most sincere/honest player of the bunch). I even think that Tarzan has been playing everyone by being the obnoxious old guy. Now that he seems to have a lock at the end, he seems to be slipping and a much more reasonable and somewhat smarter guy is starting to show through.
Tarzan is an asshole if his response to Christina’s “Do you like me?” question several weeks back is any indication. But, at this point, I have come around to wanting him to win anyway. If he is a poor plastic surgeon, then he needs the win so he can put shocks on his Jeep. If he is a rich plastic surgeon, then I also like to see people who are successful in their fields succeed in other endeavors too. So even if he’s an asshole — rich or poor — go Tarzan.
I think you might have Sabrina figured out, JimmyT. She seemed to be overplaying it a bit in her righteous indignation that Tarzan and Christina weren’t chosen for the reward. And there is NO WAY that Tarzan could outlast her on that immunity challenge if she were at all serious about wanting to win it.
Kat was just awful. I’m sorry, but at 22, ten years ago, I was managing a small transportation company with 35 employees underneath me, and going to school full time. It’s not her age, she’s just a moron.
Crankyguy, if Tarzan’s wife is an indication of the quality of his work, then, yeah, he really needs to win this.
I think the women are planning on voting out Tarzan when it gets down to 4. They’re keeping him around now because they can beat him in challenges. If so, it’ll be interesting to see what the immunity challenge is when it does get down to 4 – maybe a medical terminology challenge!
So KAT was an idiot all along. It wasn’t an act. That’s not surprising. Philip’s behavior wasn’t an act either. You know, SURVIVOR just casts people who are idiots. I’m sure there are some of you (and I know who you are because I’ve written your names down) that think KAT had great game play. [She didn’t do anything. She was under the radar. She made no enemies.] As far as I’m concerned the little twit got exactly what she deserved and it was fun to watch. It would have been better if she had thrown herself on the ground, while CRYING, but I guess that’s too much to ask.
Now, as far as that KIM goes. I like her because she’s very mannish. I think she’s got some Y chromosomes oozing through her. Exhibit A: her mustache. Kim is completely unemotional which is odd for a lady on this show. I can see Kim as a professional assassin. A real skinny Le Femme Nikita. I looked at her CBS bio which was very revealing.
I normally like tough HE-MEN like the greatest SURVIVOR of them all Russell Hantz, and that Yul, that Tom W., that Alan Alda sounding guy, etc. but Kim could hold her own with any of these HE-MEN.
@MisterDangerous, it’s a little unfair to compare Kat who is immature and selfish to Philip, who was dragged to the end because he was unhinged and delusional. I do wish that someone who is cast for their “personality” will one day make it to the end and say to the jury, something along the lines of ‘my nuttiness/selfishness/delusion was a deliberate choice to get someone to take me to the end and I outplayed all of you to get there.’ I bet that person could have been Colton, but at this point, I really just feel that the casting department of this show needs to be fired.
I’m still dreaming that one day someone will pull off the fake-idiot gambit and win the entire show. Obviously, Kat’s not the one. But the nutty/crazy/delusional gambit would be equally satisfying. A guy can dream, right?
A little facial hair on a woman has never bothered me, Mr. D. It can, in fact, be quite sexy.
Itchy – wasn’t Fabio faking the idiot thing and actually won?
Mr D – You have me dying over here!
“I’m still dreaming that one day someone will pull off the fake-idiot gambit and win the entire show.”
The only person I have faith in is Roger Kint.
Mr D – you crack me up!!!!
You know, you’re right. It would have been SO cool if Kat had flung herself on the ground while kicking, screaming, AND crying. What a crowning trifecta it would have been. Funny and exciting, too!
@ itchy,
She does get major face- time. She is always a good Mystery pick for Fantasy Survivor when the question is “who will say…blah blah?”
I loved the blindside, reality tv gold. The look on her face as each vote was read…priceless…*as Kat walks away you hear her softly sobbing*…bwahahahahaaha. What gets me is she was more offended by an 28 year old lasting longer than freaking Christina and Tarzan. These girls are stupid if they think they should take Tarzan to with them to the final 3, the men will vote for him out of spite. I’m in the Kim threw the challenge club, there is no way she honestly lost. I think Sabrina is throwing the challenges as well if she makes it to final 4 she will suddenly kill it. I’m starting to root for Chelsea if she is playing the game I think she playing her name should be Stealthy, she’s out in the open but on the shadows.
Does Kim still have the idol hidden in her crotch?
You guys all make some valid points. I hadn’t thought about Kim throwing the challenge, but in retrospect I think she did. Good move. I’m not entirely convinced Sabrina did, however.
What has me worried is how far Aleechia (that’s what I call her – she’s leeching off of the others) has come. Sweet holy shit on a stick, Batman, what if she’s final three?! Eh, I guess I shouldn’t worry. She won’t win the damn thing, anyway (knock on wood knock on wood KNOCK ON WOOD).
Great recap, as usual PM.
