Vati (Green Tribe) Lydia, Mike, Daniel, Kai, Jenny, Chantelle
Yay! It is Survivor 42 recap night! Let’s see what new evil plans production has for this cast. Last week, in the most bizarre tribal ever, Jenny got sent home, and Daniel played himself and is probably on an island all by himself at this point.
It looks like we are going to get right to the Daniel situation. We begin with the Vati Tribe returning from tribal council. We they get back to camp, Daniel announces that it has been a very long night and he doesn’t want to discuss anything. He just wants to sleep. How convenient. But he does do a confessional and WAIT WHUT? He feels betrayed by his “#1” Chantelle? Dude, you literally screwed over everyone in your tribe in one tribal council! Then Chanelle says she wants to air her grievances to Daniel now. He accused her of blindsiding her. She didn’t do anything of the sort. She didn’t speak, let alone vote when he said that!

Then Chanetelle does blow up Daniel’s game even more. She says in front of everyone that Daniel told her that Mike has an idol and he doesn’t have a vote at tribal council. Kai feels blindsided by everyone except for Lydia. Kai rips Daniel apart in his confessional. So does Mike. Mike forms an alliance with Kai and Lydia. That leaves Daniel and Chantelle on the outs.
The Reward Challenge
Lo and behold, it’s a landlubber challenge. It’s one of those unravel a rope in a billion knots, pull a sleigh and then each team member needs to toss a basketball into a VERY high hoop. They are playing for ten fish. Once again, Jonathan is beasting this challenge and leading his team to victory. The guy is great at everything. Maryanne makes her basket right away! That’s my girl! Omar gets his. They all get their baskets very quickly and win all the fish. Drea complains that Jonathan led the whole thing an won it for them. What a poor loser. He’s on their team. Also, they each made their own baskets! So shut it!

Why do people have to be such sore losers. It’s not their fault they were only halfway through when they lost! Jeff asks about their win. Jonathan says they are a strong four. The other people are all insanely jealous of the Taku Tribe in general and Jonathan in particular. Jonathan is a force to be reckoned with. But, it’s all part of the game.
The fish are way bigger than they thought. The rest of the tribe is pissed that Jonathan said they were a strong group of four. They are worried that will bite them in the ass at the merge. I mean, come on, it’s kind of obvious. Jonathan does an interview talking about wanting to be on the show since he was eleven years old. And his dad was clearly a hard ass who basically required physical training all the time and pitted his sons against each other.
IKA (Blue) Tribe Zach, Drea, Romeo, Rocksroy, Tori, Swati
Romeo builds a fire and Rock keep giving him directions. Rock is kind of a bully toward his tribemates. We seem to have forgotten about Tori for a few weeks. She is conspiring with Swati to get Drea out. They haven’t even been to the elimination challenge yet but the seem certain the are going to lose nonetheless. Drea has an extra vote. Swati tells Tori that everyone else wants Tori out. Tori tells Rock about Drea’s second vote. He didn’t know. But, Rock cant stand Tori. Now Drea is out for her too. Could it be time for Tori to leave? 🙂
Taku Tribe (orange) Taku (Orange)Tribe: Jonathan, Omar, Maryanne, Marya, Jackson, Lindsay
The Immunity Challenge
My poor girl Maryanne keeps having to bring up “the classic tale of the bunny in the mailbox.” Sadly, no one else has a stupid phrase to say, so Maryanne has no vote yet again. But never fear, she has Jonathan on her team. Which is a good thing because Jeff is about to try and drown them all again. Two tribe members from each team have to swim through the ocean pulling a boat with two other tribe members in it. Good grief! Then they have to swim back and do a puzzle. This looks EXTREMELY hard. unless you get to ride in the boat! Jonathan and MaryAnne swim. But Jonathan once again does it all and Maryanne just hangs on to the boat.

Lydia can’t make the jump to get the key. Omar loses his key in the water and it is floating away. Vati is way behind because of the inability to get the keys. Taku AKA Team Johnathan is way in the front. Rock keeps trying to supervise the puzzle. Taku wins AGAIN! Vati pulls out a huge come from behind win for second place and safety! Ika is going to tribal council. Tori will probably go home but they need to send Rock home. He is a PITA. Tori is already thinking about playing her shot in the dark.
Tribal Council IKA (Blue) Tribe Zach, Drea, Romeo, Rocksroy, Tori, Swati
Back at IKA Rocksroy is pissed. And he wants Tori gone. But, it is probably going to be Rocks. Romeo finds out that Swati told Tori that everyone wants to vote her out. But, Swati is telling everyone they are their number one. Romeo and Drea now want to work with Tori. Swati seems know people are conspiring against her, so she is trying to flip the plan. The tribe keeps flip flopping between Swati and Tori.
At Tribal Council, Jeff asks what the vibe of the tribe is. Basically, the vibe is off. Then, Swati throws Tori under the bus for trying to blindside Drea. Tori says it was Swati that wanted to blindside Drea. Romeo whisper to Drea to ask if she is using her extra vote. She says she doesn’t know. Rocks compliments Swati on her ability to open up despite her insecurities. Swati plays her shot in the dark but is still not safe. 🙁 Dammitall! Sweet Swati is voted out. These people suck at tribal councils. But, it make for a very interesting show!
Thanks for the recap.
All day I thought it was Thursday and didn’t even remember Survivor was on until I saw your post.I ‘m still having trouble remembering everyone’s names.
Me too! That’s why I list the people in the tribe under each tribe. There is also this handy dandy guide with photos.
Jonathan will be okay until the merge, unless he wins every immunity challenge he’ll be gone as soon as they can get him out.
He has SINGLE HANDEDLY WON EVERY TEAM CHALLENGE. I think he will be just fine in the immunity challenges when they become individual. He may be the greatest player of all time. I hope it is him and Maryanne in the final two. 🙂
Unfortunately I fear if Jonathan’s team ever loses he will gone. He is too much of a physical threat to them. I hope they have him back on an all Stars season, I just love him.
I honestly don’t see his team going to tribal before the merge. The entire rest of his team can just sit on the shore and watch him do the whole challenge alone every week. But when the merge comes… He’s going to have to win every immunity (and I think that is possible) to get to the end.
I wanted to see them cook and eat the fish. And what was that blue fish, I’ve never seen one of those.
I believe it was a Parrot Fish, they can crush coral with their “beaks”. We had one in a pet store I worked at and I would pet it everyday before someone told me that lol. It was like a dog coming to the surface for pets. Maybe it thought it was feeding time, but never once tried to bite my finger.
Sorry to see Swati go! It will be interesting to see what happens when they get to the merge–I’m sure Jonathan will be on everyone’s hit list.
Late to the Survivor party. Been sick as a dog with the flu caught at Urgent Care (!) while treating a wrist I broke t-boning my poor dog on my bike when she cut in front of me. My road rash would put a skateboarder crash to shame. Dog was fine. She just looked at me rolling around in pain on the gravel road like I was nuts and decided I was playing and started jumping on me!! But I digress….
Finally got around to watching this episode. Bummed that Tori dodged the bullet and turned the attention onto Swati. Swati was my pick for that team. Now Tori will really feel she is a brilliant therapist because she is such a smart manipulator. (insert eye roll).
I had to laugh at poor MaryAnne hanging onto that boat while Iron Man Jonathon power swam it to the destination. Could you imagine trying to swim in sync with Goliath or even keep up? I would have been hanging onto the side for dear life also. Maybe offering some kicking action to feel like I was somewhat worthy. Rocksroy would get on my last nerve if I had to be around him daily. He talks a lot about everything he does in camp but all they show is him mansplaining everything to everyone else who are doing the chores he brags about doing. I don’t see him in action often. He doesn’t seem to add anything helpful to the challenges. He annoys everyone but his name isn’t thrown out. Why?
Good grief! A broken wrist and the flu? UGH. Praying for a rapid recovery.
I appear to be in moderation again.
Nothing I did. You probably typed your name or your email incorrectly. The program sees that as a first time commenter.
I’m thinking maybe Maryanne should stop saying her phrase and wait for someone to say their phrase first.
I wonder if there is a reason they don’t do that. Like they have to start saying it when they find it. Otherwise, I would wait for someone else to say theirs first.
I don’t know why, but I thought someone else had already found one and decided to wait to say his phrase.
I think you are right. Someone on Daniel’s team found one and told whoever it was not to say it just yet. I can’t remember if they know what the other phrases are or not.
