While Scarlett had me convinced to jump off the cliff, my gut said Parathor makes a lot of sense too…

Andrea was part of the Ometepe tribe that made the Zaps sleep in the wet part of the shelter. She would get a taste of her own medicine if they relegated her to a similar spot in the shelter on Redemption Island.

Andrea also helped to boot Matt out twice at Tribal Council. She would get a taste of her own medicine if she were to lose to Matt and the Zaps and get the boot from Redemption Island. Andrea may finally show empathy and comment that she now understands what Matt felt like, when she gets a taste of her own medicine.

Andrea loses, Ralph 3rd, Mike 2nd, Matt wins.

I’m still uncomfortable with the fact that the promos so openly show Ashley as the primary boot target… Rob’s comment that she can’t be trusted, Grant recommending the girls be split up, and Natalie telling Rob that Ashley thinks it’s her and Natalie. Ashley is shown as a sitting duck, innocently commenting that she trusts Natalie, helplessly waiting to be betrayed. I don’t understand why the editors would be so obvious…unless something happens to change the plan.

Rob’s comment…”the one thing you don’t want to happen…it happens” has been explained as the other Ometepe talking among themselves. That doesn’t make sense to me, because there’s nothing to talk about. Ashley and Natalie already hang out together and talk all the time. No one except Rob talks to Phillip, and Grant is loyal to Rob, already trying to split up the two girls who do talk.

Rob has been edited saying how important it is to win immunity abd keep it out of the hands of the boot target. Before, the goal was to keep the Zaps from winning it, last week Rob was edited saying he needed to give it everything he had to keep Andrea from winning it, but this week the promos tell us…”Anyone can win!” and Rob tells us “the one thing you don’t want to happen, it happens”…the boot target wins Immunity and the tribe needs to scramble before going to TC.

Ashley wins Immunity.

With the original plan derailed by Ashley’s Immunity, the promos tell us…”Now, with everyone scrambling to make a deal with Rob ...”. The alliance wouldn’t be scrambling unless something unexpected happened. Rob must now reassure Grant, Natalie and Phillip.

Rob has a plan and he tells Natalie to just do what he says. Rob also tells Phillip that he will not vote him out, but what he fails to tell Phillip is that everyone else is voting for him. Ashley and Natalie are happy, because they get to vote out Phillip, Grant is willing to wait to split up the girls, and Phillip is happy because Rob is not voting for him.

Phillip is voted out.
