All-Stars Episode 4: Blessing In Disguise

Deja vu

Holli walks away from tribal feeling bad, but knowing that was a move that had to be done. Nicole reveals that she knew Siona was leaving and tries to convince Michelle that it's put her in a better position now. Evan, Micah and Jordan talk about wanting Chris T or Alex out. Chris T is wanting to make a big move, whilst Jordan urges him to play cautiously.

Sierra meets with Micah to tell him she is his partner, and also lets slip that Shannon is on the bottom of their alliance. Micah tells Shannon this and Shannon goes to ask the girls about it, who deny it. Sierra was already on thin ice for trying to keep Siona and warning her she was in trouble...this might be the final straw. Sabrina has much better luck with her partner, talking with Jordan for nearly 2 hours and advising him to work with Brandon and Eric.

The tribes arrive at the next challenge trying to gauge if it's a swap. It's not - it's a double tribal instead! They'll be playing in guy/girl pairs for individual immunity. The first part is to fill up a water bottle, with 4 pairs moving on. Then they have to toss eachother water in buckets, and finish off by trying to dunk an egg in one. The pairs are Jordan/Ashley, Eric/Nicole, Shannon/Brandon, Micah/Sabrina, Evan/Michelle, Alex/Rebecca, Victoria/Chris T (she just can't escape him!) and Chris L/Sierra. Holli is left sitting out.

Water torture

Micah takes a lead on the first part with his great pouring. Ashley/Jordan do terrible, with Ashley having a bucket dropped on her. Micah/Sabrina move on first, with Chris L/Sierra right behind them. They're joined by Alex/Rebecca and Shannon/Brandon, as Evan/Michelle miss out by basically a drop. On the water-tossing section, Sierra and Chris L take a lead, with Brandon's suckage holding his team back. They move on to the last part, but Micah and Sabrina are able to catch up. Chris L lands the last one to win immunity. Pretty timely win for Sierra, and an even bigger target on Chris L's back.

Holli and Chris L plot how to get closer to that secret pair prize, with Chris T being a target because they think his pair is Sabrina! Alex is in trouble for not talking to people enough, whereas Brandon is being looked at as a social threat. The girls debate their choices, with Holli wanting Michelle and Shannon wanting Rebecca. Ashley wonders if it might be easier to get Victoria out instead, and Holli doesn't seem opposed to it. Chris L is sticking his nose in trying to make that happen as well, advising Rebecca that letting people know Alex is her pair might help her since he probably won't be around long. Rebecca tells Nicole that Victoria mentioned her name, which doesn't sit well with her. Will it be enough to save her?

The girls tribal council is up first, with Sierra happy to be immune. Victoria mentions thinking long-term. Holli mentions the pairs, which Shannon thinks would be a good idea to break up. Ashley says she'd be upset if she lost her best friend. Rebecca throws it out there that the vote is between her and Victoria.

Victoria decides to vote for Michelle, wanting to stick to what she told Rebecca for some reason - WTF? It ends up not mattering as Rebecca is voted out anyway, but that's probably not gonna be a good look for her if it gets found out. Sucks for Rebecca she couldn't get more redemption, but she's happy to not be the first boot this time at least.

Chris T is annoyed that his tribe is barely playing the game, with only Brandon wanting to make moves. He tries to convince Eric to turn on Evan, but it's not happening. Chris T then lies that Micah is targeting Eric, even faking a text, but Eric doesn't fall for it. Alex sees this as his cue to distance himself from the self-destructive Chris T. Evan is after Brandon though, who he thinks will flip to the girls after the swap. Chris T makes it difficult by refusing to play ball, adamant that he's voting for Evan.

Guess they were right, he was a flipper

At tribal council, Chris T says he's hoping for a shake-up. Alex discusses needing to find the balance between playing defensively and offensively. Chris L says he doesn't see the point in targeting a pair at this point when they're part of a bigger alliance. Brandon is voted out and flips a table as promised. On his birthday too! It's amazing that Chris T can survive playing this recklessly, but I'm not complaining.
