Fan Alexis was the victim of the latest blindside, this one the result of someone finally playing the hidden immunity idol instead of just getting voted out while in possession of it.

For the second week in a row, the tribe blindsided someone who had the hidden immunity idol but didn’t play it because he felt safe. “I was definitely played today by Natalie and the rest of the girls,” Jason said during his exit interview. “I should have been a little more wary.” He was convinced [...]
In a season of blindsides, Ozzy’s elimination was the biggest one yet. During his exit confessional, he confessed, “I’m an idiot. I should have seen it coming, but I got too comfortable.” Even though he had the hidden immunity idol, he didn’t play it, as he trusted his alliance. But Parvati switched sides and went [...]
If Eliza thought she had any chance of staying in the game, the fact that Alexis referred to Eliza’s game play in the past tense at Tribal Council was a good indication that she was going home. She irritated her fellow favorites early in the game by targeting them, and after the two tribes merged, [...]

With one fan left on Malakal, it seemed that the favorites were going to stick together again after the tribe lost for the fourth time in a row.

“Survivor” host and executive producer Jeff Probst recently sat down for an interview about his phenomenally successful TV series, which has just been picked up for two more cycles. A chatty, friendly guy, Jeff talked about some of the interesting yet not well-known elements and incidents in the long-running reality show that he has seen [...]
The favorites continued to pick off the fans on the Malakal tribe, which lost its third straight immunity challenge. Tracy tried her best to argue at Tribal Council that she would not be a threat in the future, but that other players like Ozzy would be. She aligned herself with Ami, but ultimately no one [...]
Chet, who’s been saved by strategic moves that targeted stronger players at two previous Tribal Councils, was finally voted off. He all but quit the game, asking his tribe to vote him out after they lost yet another challenge. “I just want to be voted off,” he said. “Please, that’s all I’m asking.” He used [...]
Another week, another blindside. This week, karma came back to haunt Joel, who last week convinced the favorites to keep Chet and get rid of Mikey B. This week, a newly formed tribe pulled the same move, but dumped Joel, who said that it was “humiliating, insulting.” In his exit interview, he insisted that he [...]
