Survivor: Gabon - Episode 12 Live Thoughts
Survivor: Gabon - Episode 12 Live Thoughts
If my fellow writer Oscar Dahl's predictions about tonight's episode of Survivor are dead on, then I will be one happy camper at the end of this hour.  He predicts that Matty will win immunity, Bob will manage to save himself, and Kenny will be the one going home.  Fine by me!  As I've been saying for a few weeks now, Matty and Bob are the only two people I want to see win this game.  Kenny is such a little snake and he's an idiot for letting his strategy be known, since Matty has figured out that he was the one who orchestrated the three votes against him.  Kenny thinks he's a mastermind and that is just laughable!  Here's hoping Kenny's torch is snuffed tonight.  Stick around for the next hour as I'll be updating live, and post your thoughts, too!

What in the hell is Bob doing, offering to give him the immunity necklace if he wins?  Is anyone feeling a flashback to the Dreamz/Yau-Man deal? 

For today's reward challenge, the players are running through an obstacle course to retrieve a ball and then running back to land it in a basketball hoop.  The women are pretty terrible here, while it looks like a man will walk away with the win here.  Bob wins!  Who's a happy girl?  Me!

Can I ask a question: Is Crystal good at ANYTHING?  I'm going to need to ask her when she gets voted out.

Back to Bob.  He gets to pick someone to go on his reward trip and he picks Crystal (ugh).  They're headed to do some gorilla-watching, share a nice meal, and get a good night's sleep in a bed.  Wait, Bob gets to pick one more person and he's bringing Kenny.  Check out Bob's gameplay.  Susie is sent to Exile.  Get her outta here!

Bob wants Matty out and is hoping Sugar will come in as a 4th vote in tribal.  While that doesn't thrill me, I'll just focus on the baby gorillas 'cause they're so cute!!  I'm scared of squirrels, though, so I'm pretty sure I'd be freaking out in the jungles of Africa.

Matty wants Sugar's idol, which would make sense because nobody's going to vote for her.  She's not going to give it up, though.  He NEEDS to win the next challenge in order to stay in the game.  This oughta be interesting.

Back at camp, Crystal is calling out Matty, saying he changed and insisting that she and Kenny have had his back since day one.  Sugar is now crying... why, I'm not sure.  She wants to have his back now, saying that she doesn't like the way that Crystal and Kenny are playing the game.  Now she wants to pull in Bob.  This is crazy.

For tonight immunity challenge, players must study a mask then run through a series of obstacles with puzzle pieces to recreate the mask - AND they're blindfolded.  Oh yeah, no problem.  Crystal is off the course and wandering around while everyone else works on their masks.  Bob wins.  FOUR STRAIGHT CHALLENGES.  Dude, I hate that he's working with Crystal and Kenny but Bob is the man.

Bob owes Kenny an immunity necklace and that means he'll go home.  He screwed himself so badly in this game.  Finally, Sugar does something that I like.  She rats out Crystal and Kenny to Bob, letting him know that they want to blindside him.  I honestly have no idea what's going to happen.

Don't you guys love the edited expressions on the faces of the jury members at each tribal?  I know I do.

Look at Kenny whining like a little baby at tribal.  Do he and Crystal really think anyone would vote for them to win?  That onion alliance, sitting on the jury, will never vote for them.  Bob doesn't give Kenny his necklace - good move.  You're a smart move.

Sugar gives her idol to Matty!  OH MAN!  AWESOME!!!  Thank you!  Someone in Survivor actually properly used the hidden immunity idol.  Here are the votes (I'm so excited): Matty.  Matty.  Crystal.  Crystal.  Crystal. 

Crystal is voted out of the game.  She'll be talking to BuddyTV tomorrow in an exclusive interview.  Don't miss it!
