All-Stars Episode 2: Force To Be Reckoned With

Alex G celebrates becoming just Alex now. Evan and Micah aren't happy at losing an ally, though they're hoping it's brought them closer to Chris L and Eric. If Evan gets his way, Ryan will be next, but he's also irritated with Chris T, who was drunk at tribal. Jordan bonds with Chris T, saying it's nice to have a back-up plan.

Shannon and Holli continue their connection and are confident they can pull together an alliance that includes Sabrina, Victoria and Sierra. Holli reassures Victoria she has no bad blood with her from last season, and Sabrina does the same with Sierra. They're looking at Ashley as a first target, because then that frees up Rebecca. Ashley is connecting with Chris L, who blows her mind when he suggests how she might be a target.

The duo I never knew I needed

Rebecca lets Alex know that they're partners and they swap info on the other players. Sabrina gets Brandon excited when she tells him she's his partner, but it's just a joke. But Brandon being close to Sabrina does give him an in with Eric, who is also close with Sabrina. Chris T is stirring the pot by trying to open people's eyes to Chris L being the one running the show.

Chris L's Hulk-out moment

The immunity challenge is to bring back sticks whilst blindfolded, then solve a puzzle and a word scramble with them. Brandon and Sabrina operate as callers. The guys get off to an early lead with Chris L and Jordan finding sticks. The girls catch up though, as Holli brings back a few. As always, there are some funny moments, with players bumping into eachother and Evan picking up a normal stick. The girls get all 8 and finish first, though Michelle and Siona get left behind. On the puzzle, it's Sabrina who cracks it first, but the guys get it soon after. As the girls debate how to spell "safety" (seriously?), the guys solve the word scramble at pretty much the exact same time and start celebrating. Austin rules that the sticks must be touching, and both tribes rush to correct, with the girls doing it first. Another super close one, but same result.

The girls laugh at Chris L's freakout after and during the challenge. Brandon thinks Ryan should go since he sat out. Chris L tells the group that's how he's voting, whilst Eric lies to Ryan and says it's Evan. Chris L decides to let Ryan know it's him (despite saying he wouldn't), so now Ryan is fighting to save himself again. With nothing to lose, he aims for Chris L, hoping to get Alex, Chris T and Brandon to do it. The swingvote would be Jordan, and Michelle and Nicole are helping Ryan out by promising to align with him if he changes his vote. Chris L's act of kindness may have just backfired on him!

At tribal council, Eric praises the women for besting them whilst Evan thinks they got lucky. Jordan says challenge performance isn't really a factor in his decision (which was kinda obvious when they sent home one of their strongest players first). Ryan feels like he's in trouble and calls out the people in control, saying going with him tonight would be "a move for the underdogs".

The votes are in, and it's Ryan going home. He'd waited so long for this second chance, and now it's cut disappointingly short. But now the guys tribe is running out of easy targets, so how long will they let Chris L call the shots?
