Thanks, Pamy love! I am always amazed at how well TVCH works because "the person closest to the broom sweeps." This is a VERY old Southern saying which contains a whole lot of wisdom!

Previously

Yellow tribe best competitors and devoured yellow tribe.

New tribes on day 10 through tribe swap, but foolsihly picked weak players.

Sugar not picked, went to exile.

Randy led 3-0 blowout of his former tribe.

They voted out strong member, Jacque, instead of weak member, Kelly.

14 left..

Sugar hasn't eaten in three days (at the tribe). Ace upset at losing Jacque. Sugar's plus is having II.

Sugar returns in the dark.

Sugar sad that Jacque is gone and Kelly still there.

Says she gave up on clues, stayed at Sugar Shack.

Crystal feels Sugar has the idol, "I have to get rid of her".

Kota Day 13

4 fish caught.. OMG in nets

Catfish..

Bob also had a trap.. little fish that sends small electric charge through a hand.

Randy says he, Dan and Susie love the new tribe, fish, corn, better than Fang.

Randy says he'll work to adapt but right now ex Kotas would go first.

elephants trumpet.

This is at Fang.. some of them go to look at ellies

Very cool.

Nice closeup of Ellie and tree.. tree loses the battle. All ooh and ah.

Some decide to take the kayak..

Matty says you can hear them all day, not usually see them.. magnificent.

Ace and Matty take kayak closer to elephant, others say, leave it alone.

Ellephant trumpets.

Matty stands up in "kayak". He so appreciates Gabon and life.

Tribes come in to Jeff.. Kota see new Fang Jacque gone. The others are amazed at that.

Sugar in Fang. Numbers even.

Today's challenge. Each tribe has large quantity of fruit, throw one at a time through opening to tribemates but other tribe trying to block.

Reward for most fruit.. your own herb garden.. oil, salt, chiles, and keep the fruit.

Defense for Fang Crystal, Ace

Kota Bob and Charlie

Go

Dan catches one.

They have a front and back opening so if someoine catches fruit through the first opening then it can still be blocked at the back one.

Fang has early lead

Ace doing well on defense and Matty/Kenny doing well on offense.

Dan to Randy, Kota getting the hang of it.

Fang getting small pieces (the win is based on weight of the fruit.

Randy doing very well.. Kenny catches pineapple

Kenny seems to be catching really well.

Ace hit in head.

Very close says Jeff.

Challenge over.

Very close.. most weight.
16 lb for Fang
Kota wins by two pounds. They are stoked. GC, Ace, etc., upset.

Sugar is sent to Exile, Dan says for fun, amusement but admits that they hope if she has the idol it will be played before the merge and back in play.

Kota day 13.

They happily return from challege. Charlie feels bad for Fang, eating rice with no flavor.

Talk of evil empire.. I need all seven of you guys. Dan says to all including the ones from Fang.

Says more motivation to win with name like evil empire.

They agree that next immunity is very important.

Marcus says Dan is so willing to express undying devotion to new Kota, hard to trust him. Susie seems not so on board. Not confident that these people have my back if we get to the merge.

Randy in the water when they are eating fruit.

His plan is continue to win challenges and not rock the vote and be colored yellow to the end

Exile island .. Sugar dances out.. says for comedy sake.. joke is on you as she downs fresh pineapple, mangoes, eating fruit, they are stinky and dirty and tired.

She is happy and fat, eats avocado.

Back at Fang, meagre rice rations. Crystal tells GC to eat his rice. GC not happy, they spat.

GC says it is WAY more difficult after couple of weeks, no food, challenges. Says Crystal is so annoying.

He questions being there.

Kelly wonders if GC misses home. Ace says it was brilliant arguement came out of nowhere.. People are imploding.

Crystal tells GC he knows she was joking

GC tells us he wants out of there.

FAng Day 15 Treemail

Gravity of situation you really need to score, at least prevent the other tribe or lose another

Matty says the tribe is losing it, Crystal and GC, etc, just floating.

GC takes the kayak out alone. Kenny and Matty looking for GC, but he was off on his own.. they may have to leave for the immunity challenge without GC.

Kenny says GC doesn't like being told what to do, just the way he rolls.

They are all bellowing for GC. Ace says waste of energy.

Crystal is fed up with GC. Tantrums from a grown adult.

We see GC paddling back, they say they almost had to leave without him. He says that would have been cool with him.

Challenge. Sugar back from Exile.

Immunity back up for grabs.

One member from each tribe throus a ball down a clif through series of obstacles. Member of opp tribe tries to block with help of a caller.

Defender for Fang is Ace, Caller is Sugar

Kota, Dan and Randy

Charlie and Mattie launch balls. Defenders blindfolded.

Kota scores two

Fang Scores five

(there are targets with numbers.

Ace asks Sugar to lead him back.

Suzy and GC

Ball gets past Ace. GC stops his.

Kota two more points Ace embarrassed. He is upset with Sugar says she isn't talking enough to guide him

Marcus vs Kelly

Dan stopped his own ball. Fang scores two points.

(the balls bounce down the hill and change course)

Crystal vs Corinne

Kota slips past Ace.. Kota scores two. Fang leads by single point.

Ace hurt by the shield in his face

7 to 6

Kenny and Bob

Dan stops Fang. Oh.. Kota's caller yelled to Ace to freeze and he did (Sugar not effective as a yeller). Ace unhappy.

Kota wins immunity once again.

Fang, once again a date with me at tribal council.

They look heartbroken and angry.

At least they are not getting killed. But a loss is still a loss.

Fang Day 15, vack at camp. We lost another immunity challenge, says GC.

Bad news. No energy. GC telling Matty he is ready to leave the game. Matty tells him he'd regret it. Matty says people pounced on that (GC wanting to leave) Tells Crystal GC is quitting. Crystal doesn't want to hear it.. says people will beg him to stay, she's not kissing his ass, if that is what he wants, she will vote for him, he's a loser. Too hungry for the mind game, Crystal tells Kenny.

We see a monkey. Kenny tells Kelly, put down GC. She says good.

Ace tells Sugar they are voting out GC. Let them detroy themselves, we need to make it to merge. He may call upon her to use the idol. She trust him. Idol in in her bag.

Back at camp speculation starts about her having the idol. Crystal looks in her bag, tells Kelly to keep a lookout. She finds the idol, tells Matty and Kenny. Tells Kelly to keep looking out.

She has it.

That's why she is so confident.

Kelly says the only night to blindside her. Crystal repeats that. Kenny says they are afraid of that idol. They want GC gone, but afraid of idol (implying they will vote Sugar out or force her to use it.)

Tribal council. Jeff asks Ace about stress of being out here this long.

lost feed.

LOL.. now I have audio.

Ace says people ran out of belt loops.

Jeff asks GC.. he says you ask what is important, being out here dealing with personalities, etc.. you take family/friends for granted.

Sugar says she spent this afternoon with everybody, sounds like GC wants to go home.

GC says suffered all growing up, being out here, I realize what is important to me, I feel like it is hard.

Sugar crying, Jeff asks. Sugar says it is hard turning on people, we all miss family, harder on psyche than physically.

Jeff asks Matty is it hard hearing someone want to go home.

Matty says cannot give it that option.

Jeff tells Sugar she has been at exile more than on any tribe.

She may be worried.

She says it could easily be me.

Asks Kenny if it is frustrating that Sugar keeps being sent there, there is something valuable out there.

Kenny says yeah.. she may have the idol but we don't know.

Sugar says no one has asked me. Don't think people would go through her bag, leaves it out.

Jeff asks Crystal.. crazy to leave her bag out. or crazy smart.

CRAZY says Crystal.

Someone female whispers that GC is cool but he wants to go home

GC whispers had to vote for somebody, voted for Kelly

Jeff to tally votes

(just have audio here)

Jeff asks about HII

Music is dramatic and got sinister when Crystal said Sugar was crazy

First vote GC

Second vote GC

Kelly one

GC

GC fifth person voted out of Survivor Gabon.

Torch exit song.. Tribe has spoken

Presumably GC is walking away.

Jeff, you guys have endured a lot in first 15 days, one thing is certain, you are going to have to dig DEEP, go back to camp.

Wow, I wish we'd seen how they went from feeling they had to vote Sugar out back to GC.

I'm happy Sugar is still there, not happy with Crystal and just as happy that GC is gone so we don't have to hear him complain.

I suppose they didn't know that throwing the balls was really just heaving them down the cliff.. they should have had a loud MALE voice.. Matty.. to yell out directions to Ace. I'd actually have chosen Kenn

What does GC stand for? Isn't it G-sizzle?? How do you get a C for sizzle?? Or is it cizzle???

So far I like:
Sugar, Ace, Randy, Bob, Crystal, Dan, Marcus and Matty.

Not sure about:
Susie, Charlie, Corinne and Ken.

The only one I don't really like is Kelly. And that is really negligible.

I'm watching the actual show now and the immunity challenge and I just heard Sugar shouting "right right right right" and watched Ace go left left left, so at least for that turn I cannot blame Sugar for the whole mess.. then Jeff says Ace, embarrassed and Ace berates Sugar.

Ace's sheild in the face didn't look THAT hard and then he froze when Randy told him to, and there is no way to confuse Randy's voice with Sugar's.

Hmm.. not that it was an easy task..

The Sugar love makes me blush, then I remember it is for Survivor Sugar.

I like Survivor Sugar, Ace, Bob and Randy

I also think snooping thru someone else's bag crosses a line. It annoys me everytime I see it.
It would amuse me to have the entire tribe meet the returnee from Exile and demand they empty their bag. Wouldn't that stir the pot.

Crystal's attitude creeps me out.

Sugar's too cute for words. She seems genuinely at ease with herself without being smug or snarky.

Clubhouse Sugar: If I remember right, Amanda emptied her bag for her tribe when she returned from Panama Exile. She proved to them that she didn't have the idol . . . but she actually did. It was buried somewhere.
