Okay, we have a tie, so I'll run the two names through the Random List Generator. Best two out of three wins:There's no after party this time. Instead, it's Day 35. Matt crawls out of the shelter. Everyone moves slowly as Reynold feeds the fire. He notes that he's glad he used the Hidden Immunity Idol.
Brenda and Matt talk about Matt's position as a sitting duck. He's sure that he'll be the one going out next. Brenda says, "You could always win Immunity. Who will go next in that situation?"
Matt says, "Malcolm or Reynold. Maybe even you. Nobody's really paying a whole lot of attention to you, but I think you've been pulling the strings of Corinne and Reynold. And Andrea's pulling Malcolm's strings, but she has the Hidden Immunity Idol."
Brenda does a confessional. She says that she's got Corinne and Reynold as her goats to go to the Final 3, but she's got to make sure she gets there first. And that means getting rid of Malcolm first, then Andrea and finally Matt.
Corinne reveals in a confessional that she was the one who led the charge to get rid of Dawn at the previous Tribal Council. She had enough of Dawn's constant whining and paranoia. She's glad Dawn is gone now.
Andrea and Malcolm are talking and they plan on going after Reynold before Matt. Or at least, that's what Malcolm wants. Andrea is wondering if they should go after Brenda instead of Reynold, however.
Malcolm says, "We'll target Brenda after Reynold. Remember, Reynold's not a Fave anymore than Matt is. And everyone will celebrate when we get rid of him, especially Matt and the Fans on the jury."
Andrea notes that at least they can get Matt on board with a plan to get rid of Reynold, so she's all for it. She thinks she can sway Brenda into helping them get rid of Reynold but has no plans to tell Corinne, since Reynold spends a lot of time with Corinne.
Reynold heads out to get Tree Mail. When they all see the Sprint logo, they all figure it out quickly enough. Reynold follows the instructions and presses the right buttons and “presto” there is Brenda’s dad, Raymond. He tells her how many hours they traveled to get here.
Next up is Andrea's dad Royal. He's happy that she's gotten this far and hopes to see her soon. Andrea's crying, of course.
Malcolm's loved one is his brother Miles. He's thrilled to have a second chance to see Malcolm. Much to everyone's surprise, Matt's loved one is his business partner Nate. He explains that his kids were too young for his wife to leave them behind.
Reynold's loved one is his girlfriend Olivia. She says that she misses him. Finally, Corinne's loved one is her gay best friend Geoff. He tells her that he hopes she's having a good time.
The players mug for the Sprint device. We fly over the trees to “Come on In Guys”. It’s Jeff Probst at the big sand pit. Everyone marches in. None are looking at Jeff. They are all looking around. They know what is next.
After the required promotional words from Jeff about the Sprint Evo phone, the loved ones start jogging in. The hugs and tears between Brenda and her dad, Raymond, were more than Jeff could handle. He says after twenty six seasons, this is the first time he has cried at a reunion. Aww.
Andrea's father, Malcolm's brother, Matt's business partner, Reynold's girlfriend and Geoff enter. There's plenty of hugs, and in most cases tears.
Out on the sand pit there are posts with rails screwed onto the tops. Makes them look like a “T”. The player and the loved one unscrew the rail from the post by walking it round and round. There are three to unscrew.
Then the three rails get set as crossbars on a pair of uprights. When that's done, bolos must be tossed and hooked onto the crossbars. First pair to get three bolos hooked onto the crossbars of their construction, wins Reward.
The reward is back at camp. Production has set up a floating backyard barbeque. The float is just off shore. Steak, burgers, beer, apple pie. The list went on. Naturally, all the Survivors are drooling at the thought of food.
Malcolm and Miles are the first to get their rail off. They are followed by Corinne and Geoff and Brenda and Raymond. Andrea and Royal and Reynold and Olivia are right on the tail of Brenda and Raymond, while Matt and Nate are way behind!
The first five pairs get their rails unscrewed but now they see that the bolos are actually hanging on a post and there is a rope tied to hold them there. Knots. Lots of knots. There are a number of groans.
Corinne and Geoff are great at untying knots and are the first ones done. They are soon followed by Brenda and Raymond and Andrea and Royal. Malcolm and Miles are having a hard time with the knots but they finish before Reynold and Olivia.
As Matt and Nate are working on the knots, the tossing begins. Corinne is first done, followed by Brenda. Royal is having a hard time, so Malcolm and Miles pass him and Andrea. Reynold and Olivia are tossing as Matt and Nate finally begin tossing.
It's a show-down between Brenda, Corinne and Malcolm. Finally:
Probst: Corinne and Geoff win Reward! (Corinne and Geoff celebrate.) Now I want you to choose one other Survivor and their loved one to come with them. You must decide which one will go with you.
Corinne: I'm going to choose one of the people who was right behind me. I choose ... Malcolm to come with me.
Malcolm and Miles are naturally delighted. Then Probst reveals a second twist. Either Corinne and Malcolm can go to the Reward or Corinne can give up her Reward and let the others have the Reward.
Corinne: I could either get four jury votes and thus be voted out or just go on the Reward, face the jury and lose my chances of winning. I'd rather face the jury, so I'm taking the Reward!
Probst tells the others that he has nothing for them and sends them all back to camp -- after allowing Andrea, Brenda, Matt and Reynold to say good-bye to their loved ones.
****************************************************************************************
Okay, Corinne's name came up twice so she won the Reward but I had her choose to bring Malcolm with her -- and keep the Reward. Now I want you to decide who wins Immunity. The person who gets the most votes wins the Final 6 Immunity Challenge. I'll take votes until tomorrow at the latest, so please vote!
