Episode 12: There Goes the Judd
There Goes the Juddofficial title: Price for Immunity
Summary: the Reward challenge is an auction and family members show up. Danni wins an aid to help her win Immunity. Judd gets voted off at Tribal Council and acts like a big jerk as he leaves.
After the recap of last week's episode: Danni says she knows that she's on the chopping block. About last week's Tribal Council Danni says these people are unbelievable and that she's not going to go without a fight.
Reward Challenge
Competition: Survivor Auction.
Reward: Food and some mystery items.
Each Survivor is given $500 for the suction. They can share but only the people contributing money for an auction item can share the item.
The Auction Items
1. Beef Jerky - Danni wins for $20.
2. Milk and 3 chocolate chip cookies - Cindy wins for $40.
3. Mosquito net - Lydia wins for $140. (Lydia has mosquito bites all over her back).
4. Mystery Item, is a covered a tray - Danni and Rafe win it for $180 and share a 'Philadelphia' cheese-steak. I doubt it had any resemblance to a real Philadelphia cheese-steak, but I bet they still appreciated it. For the best cheese-steak go to Dalessandros .
5. Sealed envelop to help with Immunity Challenge - Danni wins for $200. The envelop is to remain sealed until the Immunity Challenge.
Family time! The last item for auction is a family member staying overnight. Stephenie gets Lydia's money and Judd gets Cindy's money. Judd comes up with the most money ($880) and wins! Kristina, his wife, gets to visit.
Jeff Probst now says that Judd can select two other family members to stay the night. Additionally those Survivors who don't have visitors will spend the night at the old camp. Judd selects Mindy, Cindy's twin sister, and Michael, Stephenie's boyfriend. So Lydia will not get to spend any time with her brother who she hasn't seen in two years. Rafe's mother will also go home. (Sorry I missed who was there for Danni.)
Family Camp
Kristen is impressed with their camp life, how they're able to make fire, boil water, etc. Mindy says this is great we (her and Cindy) used to play wilderness people as kids. [What, kind of like Land of the Lost?] Stephenie says this is great and that she owes Judd 'big time' since he also got her a big meal earlier. Judd says he didn't win any food at the auction but he's full just seeing his wife, she's like eating 25 White Castle hamburgers [how romantic].
Exile CampRafe (pictured) says it's sort of like a homecoming seeing the old camp. The three of them basically agree that they cannot trust Judd. Rafe says that he feels closer to Danni than Judd. He also says that he thinks Judd feels threatened by him.
Reunited
Lydia asks Judd if he thinks he has a good shot at the million dollars and he says 'I don't know.' They talk about Jaime's surprise ouster and Judd says "I know who the mastermind was" (Stephenie). In confessional Danni says that the longer she can stick around the more trouble she can cause.
Immunity Challenge
Competition: Chessboard-like tile flipping game.
There is a big hexagon with tiles on it. Each Survivor starts on a side and in turn flips over a tile and stands on it. In following turns a tile adjacent to, but not diagonal to, the tile the Survivor can be turned over and stepped on. If there are no tiles that can be flipped then that Survivor is eliminated. As a wild card, in the center is a Lazy Susan with several tiles on it and it reached the Survivor can spin around to another tile. Also Danni's envelope (won at auction) allows here to switch with another Survivor any time she wants but it can only be used once.
Cindy (pictured) heads straight for the Lazy Susan, spins herself to another section and promptly boxes herself into a corner resulting in her being the first one eliminated. Danni then uses her option to switch with someone and chooses to change with Stephenie. It then comes down to Danni and Stephenie and Danni edges her out by about one tile to win Immunity. Here's the order in which they were eliminated:
1. Cindy
2. Lydia
3. Rafe (Danni boxed him out).
4. Judd (incorrectly thought he could move diagonally).
5. Stephenie (just loses out by a tile or two).
Scheming is FreeRafe and Danni (pictured) work on Stephenie to get her to vote for Judd. Stephenie says she can't trust him [what about owing him 'big time'?]. Judd helplessly looks on the three of them. Lydia tells everyone 'if you need my vote I'm here for you.' Judd says to her 'I need you to not vote for me.' In confessional Judd tells us 'if you think you're safe in this game you're crazy.' He goes on to say that they (Stephenie, Cindy, Rafe and himself) had an agreement if Danni got Immunity then Lydia would be voted off.
So who will it be at Tribal Council - Judd or Lydia?
Xhakum at Tribal Council
Jury watches: Bobby Jon, Jaime, Gary
(paraphrased, not word for word)
Jeff Probst: Stephenie what was it like seeing your boyfriend?
Stephenie: It was really special.
Jeff Probst: Danni how big was your winning Immunity?
Danni: I just couldn't let it pass at auction. I've only cried twice since I've been here, when I won spaghetti and when I won Immunity.
Jeff Probst: Cindy how do you vote now?
Cindy: It's based on the person, their alliance, my alliance and how I'll explain my vote to them at the Jury.
Jeff Probst: Rafe this is a big vote after tonight there's an odd number of people (five), what do you base your vote on?
Rafe: Trust is a big deal at this point.
Jeff Probst: Stephenie what do you base your vote on?
Stephenie: Making the right choice is hard, it's full of emotion. It's hard because we're all like family.
Jeff Probst: Judd, but someone in this family has to go . . . ?
Judd: Aww Jeff, they're all saying nice things but we all want someone to go. It's the only way we can win the million dollars.
Time to Vote:
Danni is shown voting for Judd and he is shown voting for Lydia. Jeff reveals the votes to the Survivors: two votes for Lydia and four votes for Judd. Judd is voted off!
Judd leaves showing no class. He says 'I hope you all get bit by a crocodile' and mutters 'scumbags' several times.
Jeff Probst's Final Thought
One thing is clear, things are no longer what they used to be. The game has taken a turn in a big way.
Judd's final words:
I'm really pissed off . . . I was lied to . . . it sucks being lied to . . . I never lied . . . they voted me off because I was the biggest target . . . I can't wait to the jury . . .
Alliances
Well, well, well . . . the Axis of Evil is no more. Stephenie better watch herself, she may be next - unless someone is planning on being in the final two with her.
Heroes and Villains
Go Danni, go Danni! Before this edition of Survivor I thought that I'd like Judd, he seemed like he was an Everyman. It turns out that I don't really like him at all, he's a big jerk.
Won Reward: Judd mainly, several others won items at Survivor Auction.
Won Immunity: Danni (won an aid at the Auction).
Voted Off: Judd
