Night 17....

What the heck

Frannie: TC was chaotic...in this game it's been Ratu vs Soka and Tika in the middle, they didn't bring me in to vote Kane

I realize that everyone here lied to me...no one on my side

Lauren is very confused left out of the vote
Carson: it was chaotic, they didn't know the plan but I knew the plan....she he and Jaime go off together...he tells her that Kane had been telling everyone that she had an idol, but it was me telling them....didn't know how close you were.
Jaime: tonight my number one ally voted out with my idol, worse thing to happen in S, right now it's tricky as I didn't tell anyone that I gave it to him so I have to come clean or find a new idol.

Next AM come on in to the RC, it's raining

good morning

spin inside metal frame slowly get buoy across the line, get. balls and race to land those balls

winner to sanctuary, Tacos, fruit, cold beer marguerites...

Day 18

ready go

spin yourself pulling buoy across the line....faster you go the better you are....Jaime is taking her time, Frannie is good....then Danny...now get over the beam...next come hide and Carolyn, and as usual Carolyn is just screaming

Danny and Frannie are in first...

Danny crawling across the beam, Frannie in lead

Danny has to go back, and so does Heidi

Frannie in lead, must land ball on narrow trough

Jam is last
Frannie has first ball on

Frannie has won it!

biggest reward of the season

Frannie comes over...spend the night at sanctuary in addition fall asleep with letters from home...they are all crying

choose one person to join you

Carolyn.

Missing her son so much....crying hugging

one more person

Lauren...not eating as much

crying

one more person

Heidi....

three moms...

they will return to camp tomorrow

rest go back

Frannie: winning is bittersweet and I get to be there with these other amazing women, it's simple survivor strategy, take out the person that could win every challenge

Yes, getting Frannie vibes for boot?

....making herself a nice target.

They want to have a lot of rice back at camp...
Yam: I'm the only person who hasn't gone on reward now......YUam is crying

He knows that his letter is there and he cannot ready it....see husband and mother, it would be nice to read...Yam is missing and crying...he's so bitter

I get to sit down with Jaime and Danny and lay out a plan that could benefit us....they plot to get Frannie out

Carson is now conf: Frannie is on the radar, this is a strategy that would bond us together, it could be Frannie going home next

Sanctuary:

Frannie says everything here to have a good time...they have marguerites, Carolyn has a virgin one.

Carolyn, so glad that you did think about it as moms, so human, Frannie like thank. you...

Frannie says that as soon as I knew there was reward I thought of the moms, Carolyn is inspiring to me.

they get their letters and they are all crying

Lauren says she's not emotional, but they are proud of me and they are proud of me...got. one from her dad....you always persevere. Lauren is single on her own...she has 2 boys, her dad...she went back to school...I'm freakin here, I have surpassed everyone's expectations, doesn't matter your circumstance, you can do it

Carolyn says her son hates writing...

Carolyn: I feel I had a good relationship with her....now I don't want to vote her out...the girls talk alliance...they talk about voting Danny out...Heidi says we both know that we will kick each other out when it's time to...maybe says Heidi

Back at camp...Danny thinks that Heidi will vote for Frannie with them

Jaime tells them all the idol story...she gave her idol to Kane it's out

Danny says it's a horrible story...I don't believe it.
Jaime: after coming clean I really do believe that they believe me
Carson and Danny agree to vote Jaime if Frannie wins the chalLENGE, AND Danny says he can get her to vote Frannie

Heidi in confessional: Danny and I are close but I am here to play the game for my self not Danny...

So, the plan is to vote out Frannie, but if she wins the IC, it's Jaime

It's a bad idea to win individual rewards. The car curse wasn't simply by luck, Players are genuinely jealous of the winners.

Morning at VA VA and they return...

Jaime: I was up at the crack of dawn as I wanted to share the truth about my diol...gave it to Kane and he walked away with it, I'm finally free, the truth will set you free....lying and keeping secrets is a heavy weigh t but I love telling the truth

Frannie says we just got the tall tale, does she think we are all idiots...this exacerbates for me that Jaime is a dangerous player in this game says Frannie

Come on in to the IC....

Jiffy calls them warriors...

Feet will be tied together arms tied by your side, slither through the sand and use your mouth to drag buoy, then maneuver to the end and do a star shaped puzzle...

Go

slithering thru sand, all tied up, Danny is up to early lead....Danny is flying through the course....now untying....carolyn still screaming with the thing in her mouth....

maneuver the buoy through rope obstacle. Carson is second

Carson is untying, then Heidi untying

all about managing the rope and slack

Danny has his buoy through...Danny first up to puzzle

Yam is last

Heidi is through, and then Carson

untie puzzle pieces...Frannie is in fourth

Lauren is through and Yam is through...Jaime through, and Carolyn screaming is in last

Danny no progress on puzzle.

complicated star shaped puzzle. Carson in lead, Frannie has momentum

Carson down to four...Carson his last piece does not fit...frannie on his tail...

Carson wins IC, see him hug Danny...

How does this feel, never thought I would win IC, putting the puzzle together vs some power houses, feels great

when Jiffy said, someone will be going home, we see Jaime and Frannie in the same frame

Danny: not winning isn't fun, Franny will go home, she's a power house in this game we have an opportunity to strike, let's strike.

So....Danny still wants Frannie out.Way to go Carson

Franny: of course I wanted the IC necklace, but there is. renegade excitement for tonight that I don't have the IN....I haven't had a chance to put my social strategy to the test....see Frannie talk about Danny or Jaime...they are all talking, they don't like how she came up with the story...he wants to split the vote three three

then there is Danny and Lauren and Yam, Danny brings up Frannie's name...mind blowing for me, I just went on reward with her. WE wanted to vote at Danny at the reward but it would be good to vote out Frannie, she's won 3 challenges
Yam wants Jaime or Frannie...talks to Carson...Carson sees Carolyn getting closer to Frannie, Carolyn gets really annoyed when she is not included in stuff, she would get mad and on be our ally anymore

Danny and Heidi talk...
Heidi says Danny wants to target Frannie...she has heard it's between themFrannie and Jaime. I will bring my idol tonight and if I feel uncomfortable then I will bring my idol.

Carolyn: Plan was split between Danny and Jaime and then I start hearing plan about Frannie...Something doesn't;'t make sense

Carolyn goes to Frannie and tells her

Carolyn: something is not right, Carolyn is not voting Frannie this vote. seriously are we going to let Danny control the vote, to Lauren, Jaime, Frannie....let's do it and vote Heidi...

Carolyn says us the girls are voting HIedi, and Carson doesn't know what to do, need to talk to Jam and Jaime

Carson is afraid to do \it. Carolyn tells Jam about it...it's stressful and chaotic...in this game I am trapped into chaotic and clever mode, he just has to decide who is it that I will betray....

It was weird how we got there but I'm still hoping Jaime. Does Heidi play her idol?

Night 19

Frannie smiles at Matt

Frannie wins Reward and power to bring three others, food and letters.
Is there a case to be made it's better to be chosen than to win

dAnny: why do you want to win it...there are legends in S that win challenges, you want to be one of those players that are legends...winners of challenges...

Jiffy agrees

Frannie did I full tilt boogie at the sanctuary?

the better you do the bigger the target you cbecome
Yam agrees. I am not winning...
Jaime...somehow the great players won and still got to the end
Jamie notes that I find an idol and I had a target on my back, and my idol walked out the door with Kane, no secrets I don't have the idol any longer and I hope that everyone believes me....

Carolyn has been balancing this the whole time, it's stressful

Frannie winning some challenges is one layer for a reason to vote someone out
Jaime says it s a brand new game, people you worked with last week you may not be working with this week, the era of alliances is over

Danny says I love the hell out of this women but it could be that friendship has evolved into an alliance.
Carson says this is my most stressful day and I have immunity. it's pure pandemonium
Heidi: can a plan get detoured with one comment? lYes. so many plans, you say the wrong thing and you can go home

they are voting

seeing a lot of Heidi...

anyone want to play their idol?

Heidi doesn't tplay hers

Frannie
Danny
Heidi
Heidi
Frannie
Frannie
Frannie

I knew it....she was winning too much...no Jaime votes!

Carolyn is pissed.

That's what explains this vote which was run by the ones that missed out on the rewards + Lauren.

Yup!

As you said, you should never try to win a Reward like that!

Also, the 4 that went to Sanctuary (Frannie, Carolyn, Lauren, and Heidi) did not vote together!

Frannie & Carolyn voted for Heidi
Lauren voted for Frannie
Heidi voted for Danny

At camp, Carolyn: You lied to me all day...this is all bullshit

Yam: Leaving Carolyn out of this vote, it back fired
NTOS:
Carson: I've worked so hard and now it's all crumbling down
Jaime: Now Lauren and I have all the power
Danny to Jaime: I think it's either Carson or Jam Jam
Danny in confessional: I didn't come here to take part, I came here to take over
