Survivor Nicaragua - week 6

Double elimination


Both tribes went to tribal council tonight.  Jill won individual immunity for La Flor and Holly for Espada.  Here are my thoughts:

La Flor
I don't understand how Fabio and Kelly B can align themselves with the alliance of Brenda, Purple Kelly and Sash.  Can't they see that when the tribes merge, NaOnka and Chase will rejoin their friends and those two will be outcast again?  Also, I know Marty is a bit arrogant (we all kind of knew that from the start), but Brenda's own arrogance in that show was starting to bug me.  Marty should have executed his unrevealed tide-turning plan with Fabio, because he was almost voted out and almost paid for trusting Sash.  I can't believe Marty didn't play his immunity idol - either he's extremely smart or extremely lucky.  Anyway, Kelly B paid for her stupidity and she was voted out.  The dynamics of this tribe saved the episode and earned an 8 out of 10 for entertainment from me - I can't wait for next week, because now Marty knows Brenda's running the show over there.

Espada
Just like the other tribe, I can't believe Benry and Alina are aligning themselves with NaOnka and Chase, who I'm sure will turn on them as soon as the tribes merge and they're back with their friends.  Anyway, Dan and Yves were on the chopping block and Yves got voted out because the young'uns do not perceive Dan as a threat later on, and Yves put the nail in her coffin by revealing her "intimate" knowledge of the older ones on La Flor, thinking it was a reason to keep her around, but everyone else interpreted it as "good relations" and a potential threat.  She should have chosen her words better.

In the pool, Shawna retained her #1 spot and Tara #2 kept her last place spot.  11 entries had both Kelly B and Yves - including Brad's entry, which fell 17 spots.  Denise, who is one of the 14 entries that have neither, jumped up 17 spots.

Next week, we'll see Fabio be more of a goofball and Sash try to convince Marty to give him his immunity idol... HIGHLY doubt that will work.
