'Survivor' 2013 Recap: Season 26 'Caramoan', Episode 7 'Tubby Lunchbox' Results, Phillip and Corinne Clash, Bikal and Gota Tribes Face Off, Who is Voted Off the Island?
On season 26 of CBS's "Survivor" the new Fans and Favorites teams continue their stay on the island post-Brandon Hantz. With Hantz gone (he was eliminated two weeks ago) Phillip has become the most dysfunctional contestant on "Survivor: Caramoan." Last night's episode proved this as Phillip and Corinne clashed. If you missed Wednesday night's "Survivor," keep reading to get the complete recap.
Last week fans got to see the Fans and Favorites teams mixed up to try and even the sides. Unfortunately it seems like the show may have made the sides even more lopsided. Last night was all about a growing feud between Corinne and Phillip. Corinne wants Phillip gone (who doesn't), but it all depends on how the new alliances form. Phillip continues to annoy everyone on the island this week bragging about his strength.
For the reward challenge, it involves each tribe carrying a weight around in a circle. Of course Phillip goes to the front because he thinks he is the strongest. Team Bikal starts off well, but they don't pace themselves and they start to tire out. Team Gota starts catching up, and unfortunately for Team Bikal, Phillip is too tired to run. Gota ends up winning the reward challenge after Phillip falls. Gota gets some free cookies and brownies and it looks like Phillip now has a target on his back.
After the challenge Corinne has her sights set on Phillip. She badly wants him off the island, but at the same time no one wants Julia on the island. With the Gota team, Reynold tells Malcom that he has one of the immunity idols. As a result Malcom now knows where both immunity idols are.
For the next immunity challenge three members of each team have to swim out and bring a statue back to shore while the other three members use a hook to retrieve keys that will be used to raise the statue. The first team to raise the statue wins. Gota ends up winning immunity, with Phillip looking again like the main reason for Bikal's loss.
Phillip tells Cochran after the challenge that he threw the competition because he wants Julia sent home. This sounds a lot like Brandon Hantz, maybe these two guys would have become friends if they just spent more time together. In the end Julia is voted off after an initial tie between Philip and Julia.
Luckily for the producers of "Survivor" Phillip is still on the show, but unfortunately for the other people on the island they have to spend more time with Phillip.
What did you think of Wednesday night's "Survivor?" Were you surprised to see Julia go home?
