Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 12/11/08

After returning from Tribal Council, Matty knows Kenny voted for him and is furious. Kenny approaches Bob about being lied to, and to make up for it, Bob says he will give Kenny immunity if he wins it. At the reward challenge, Bob wins and chooses Kenny and Crystal to go with him to a gorilla sanctuary. At Exile, Susie knows Sugar has the idol and so she chooses to have luxury over the clue. Back at camp, Matty and Sugar discuss alliances and Matty realizes he is the next to be voted out. But after the others return from their reward, Sugar changes her mind about being in the "Kenny-Crystal" alliance and promises Matty that he will be safe. After Bob wins immunity, Kenny tells Crystal that he should be voted out if he were to give away his immunity. But after Sugar finds out about this plan, she approaches Bob and tells him everything. Sugar then creates a new plan to vote out Crystal.moreless

Great episode! Gabon has been a great season! I've loved it!

So Bobs winning streak continues! Ken's plan was devious, but Sugar decides that the good guys should win, whether or not it is her, so she creates a new alliance with Bob, and allowes Ken to go.

The use of the idol was great! It didn't end up making a deifference, but it was still great to see! I loved Sugar's idol-playing!!! <33

I did love Crystal though! a great personaltiy, and I am disappointed to see her go. I would have preferred Kenny to go, as he is becomin g ridiculously arrogant as of late. However, I think he's on his deathbed at this point...

Can't wait for the finale!!!moreless

Yet another blindside!

9.5

By JPPT1974, Dec 12, 2008

Yet another great blindside as one is now on the outside. As they thought that they had the game in the bag. Kenny shouldn't had voted for Matty. And Matty had him figured out. Bob, he is something else. As I want him to win the whole entire thing. Sugar is up to trickery again. And that it wouldn't surprise me, if she ended up to the end. But the rest of the jury will be after her. Over those tricks up her sleeves. Matty, despite being a physical threat, needs to do more. Needs to win, in order to shoot up his stock. Or Bob will be the winner of the game. Bob promised to give Kenny his idol should he win. But Kenny didn't get it as Bob knew Kenny wouldn't go home. Crystal was blindsided as Sugar gave Matty her idol, the last night to use it. It pays off as Crystal is gone!moreless

Wow, yet another amazing episode of survivor

9.0

By deathviamonkey, Dec 12, 2008

I have to admit that I actually almost didn't watch tonight's episode because I had a horrible feeling Bob was going to be voted out. In fact I was convinced he was gone up to the point he said he'd keep the idol. A strange mix of Yauman/Micronesia's Erik flashed before my eyes and I passed out. When i woke I saw Bob beginning to pull the necklace off his neck and started to sob. But then he put it back on and said those magical words " i'm going to keep the idol, Jeff"

HOORAY! If there is any god out there he'd put Sugar, Bob and Matty in the final 3. And all would be well. the only negative thing about the episode was that Kenny wasn't voted out instead, but ya gotta take what you can get. Predictions

1st hour

Reward (if there is one): Matty

Immunity: Matty

Voted Out: I think Sugar, Matty and Bob will stick together vote out Suzie

2nd Hour

Immunity: Bob

Voted Out: Matty

I think Bob will be smart enough to get rid of Matty. Both Sugar and Kenny have people on jury who aren't happy with them at this point and it would be smart move to keep them around.

Survivor Winner: Bob! (crossing my fingers)moreless
