Hannah is feeling overwhelmed by the tribal council that just happened (for her). She feels guilty about what happened to Jessica. David is feeling vulnerable, too, having wasted a hidden immunity idol. Zeke declares the tribal council "amazing." He then uses questionable emphasis in syllables. (Trying desperately to express his glee further.)
Ken receives the legacy advantage bequeathed to him by Jessica. He considers it a great boost to his game. I think he, David, or Adam have the best shot at winning this season.
Reward challenge! Loved Ones Visit! Sunday says hello to her husband. Bret says hello to his dad. Jay says hello to his sister. Hannah says hello to her mom. Adam says hello to his brother. (Quick update on their mom battling cancer: she's "okay.") He talks about his advantage, saying he won't use it this reward. David says hello to his dad. Ken says hello to his brother. Zeke says hello to his dad. Will says hello to his mom. Always interesting to see who comes out for these things.
The challenge itself involves being attached to a rope and having to maneuver around an obstacle. The reward, besides the loved one, is a barbecue. Somehow it's more fun when the loved ones are competing...Sunday is probably not going to win. Behind most of the challenge. Adam somewhat hilariously gets stuck. Jay wins! He picks Will to join him on the reward. He then picks Sunday to join them. He surprisingly chooses Adam to round out the collection. This Triforcer really did let bygones be bygones. It figures that he's gotten the best edit of them, and has obviously lasted the longest. He's probably the real wild card this season.
During the barbecue, Adam and his brother discuss their mom's treatments. My mom had cancer, and passed away after a five-year battle last year. So this was tough to listen to for me. I know that they're not really battling for a win but for time. It sucks.
Then he gives the advantage to Jay.
Will talks about needing credibility. Says he's "tired of using people, I want to work with people." He really has turned his game around. Says he wants to side with David now. David thinks this means Zeke can go home soon.
Immunity challenge! A keeping-a-thing-from-falling challenge, the traditional variation on balance, or should I say concentration, challenge. David somewhat quickly drops out. Hannah drops. Will drops. Bret drops. Sunday drops. Zeke drops. Ken drops. Jay drops. Adam wins! Darn good episode for him. Pretty consistent edit for him this season. I would be very surprised to see him go before the final tribal.
But then he starts getting cocky. Please don't do that, bro. So people start talking about what happens next. David makes a brilliant analogy about Will just getting his drivers license. Zeke starts getting paranoid. He figures David is too well protected, so he starts looking for another target. Ken gets to know Will, wondering if he's really onboard the Get Zeke crew. Will says working with Ken is excruciating. Will says Ken is the next target. Ken talks with Jay trying to confirm. So this becomes a problem. Will may have made a huge mistake. Adam calls what just happened a betrayal. So now it's turning on Ken. Hannah calls Zeke a mobster! Will's youth is finally really showing. Basically pretty immature...
Tribal council! David explains that there's a single swing vote (Will). Will explains that Ken is the problem. This puts Will in such a terrible situation. I have no idea how he couldn't figure that out. I think perception of him is warped by that voice. He just called himself a serious contender. He is serious: seriously deluded. Jay tries to give Will credibility. But kind of loses some of his in the process. David makes a case for Will flipping, as originally planned. The quality of players is such that no one is apparently considering changing targets. There should always be alternative targets. Such as, oh, Will. Who sucks up to Jay. I could easily see Jay, and Adam, in the finals. Hannah is convinced she's going home, after votes have been cast. Adam uses a hidden immunity idol for Hannah. Big, big twist. I don't think so many hidden immunity idols have been used, much less for people other than who found them, in the history of this game. Hannah garners votes, nullified, Zeke goes home as a result! The witch is dead! Big, big tribal council! The game is on!
