Maryland Outback Episode 10: Conjuring Something Crazy

Phil is a broken man with his closest ally voted out. Ryan didn't want to see Chris T go either, and is under the impression that his last-minute decision to split the votes had an impact on it. Chris L tells Connor and Chandler he wants a final 4 of all guys...but Phil's idol is still a problem.

Survey says?

The immunity challenge is to guess the majority answer to various survey questions. Phil is voted the biggest challenge threat, which only Siona gets wrong. Hes also voted most likely to make FTC along with Steve. Chandler is voted most likable. Phil guesses himself as the most bitter juror, and is right. Nicole L is voted most attractive and Chris L is voted the person who thinks they're running the game. Siona is voted most annoying and least likable.

Steve is 8 for 8, with Chris L behind him at 7. Ryan is voted least deserving to still be in the game. Steve is voted most trustworthy. Chandler is voted the most true to their word, which only Nicole C gets. Chris L is voted the biggest backstabber. Connor and Chandler are voted the dark horse. Steve only needs one more answer to win, and correctly answers himself as the most deserving to win immunity.

Steve feels like him, Phil and Chris L have targets based on the challenge answers, but Phil isn't interested in aligning with them. Instead, Phil goes to Ryan and talks about voting out Chris L, since he lied to both of them.

Chris L plots to get five votes on Phil, just to make sure they get rid of the idol, with Ryan and Siona being their decoys. Ryan tells Chandler they want Chris L out, and he's pretty reluctant to do it. But after Phil talks it over with him and Connor, the two decide to just sit in the middle and let it happen. Chris L is nervous seeing Ryan talking to people, and also gets tipped off by Nicole C that he might be a target. Now he's strongly considering playing the idol.

Last-minute strategizing

At tribal council, Steve talks about how huge it is to be safe at this stage, whilst also whispering with his allies. Siona is asked about the negative feedback from the challenge, but just thinks it was funny. Chris L drops hints that he knows he's not in control anymore and calls out Chandler and Connor for lying to him.

At tribal council, Chandler and Connor vote for Phil as planned, despite their call-out. Steve and Chris L both express uncertainty about what's going on. After the vote, no idols are played, and it ends up with the vote split between Siona and Nicole L. It's a tense one, but Nicole L is voted out, as Chris L and Steve realize they fucked up. Now that was one nailbiter of a vote...I only hope the craziness can continue.
