Survivor Gabon episode 13 recap
Nobag ~ Matty was upset that his name was put down on the ballet. Kenny confronted Bob about Corrine not playing a hidden immunity idol and accused him of lying to him. Bob offered his immunity necklace to Kenny if he won immunity as he was a man of word.
Reward Challenge ~ throwing balls into the basket. Bob went thru the nets to retrieve the balls and did not hurry like his competitors. Bob calmly put the third ball into basket and won reward! He chose Crystal and Kenny to go with him for a helicopter ride to Luanga Park, the home of Gorilla Foundation! Susie was sent to Exile Island.
Nobag ~ Bob, Crystal, and Kenny felt elated by the helicopter lift to Gorilla place. They drank & feasted. Then they took showers and felt so clean! They put on African attires. Bob told them to take Matty out and would give his immunity necklace to Kenny. Two men of Gorilla Sanctuary came to greet them. Bob, Crystal, and Kenny took a tour looking at the gorillas that were in danger of extinction.
Exile Island ~ Susie took comfort instead of clue since Sugar had the idol. Susie “changed” the name from Sugar Shack to Susie Shack.
Nobag ~ Matty & Sugar were disappointed that they didn’t have a chance to enjoy the reward. He said he was gunning for Crystal and Kenny. Sugar confides that she was not sure what to do. Crystal and Kenny decided to go off on Matty for strategic reasons. Sugar and Matty discussed about strategy.
Immunity Challenge ~ gathering the bags of mask pieces blindfolded through the obstacles. Matty started first, but Bob started putting the face parts to the mask and got it right! He won another immunity!
Nobag ~ Kenny insisted to Bob that he promised to give his immunity necklace to him. Sugar coaxed Bob into giving his necklace to Kenny and promised not to vote him out. Bob looked as he was struggling to make a right decision. Some suggested to vote out Crystal. Sugar considered to give her hidden immunity idol to Matty, but she didn’t want to be blindsided.
Tribal Council ~ Jeff asked Bob if he would give up his necklace to Kenny. Bob said he would keep it because Kenny was not going home. Matty and Crystal’s ballots were written. Sugar gave up her hidden immunity idol to Matty, so his votes were not counted. Crystal become 13th person voted off from Survivor: Gabon.
Kudos to Bob!! I was nervous waiting for Bob to make a stupid decision giving his necklace to Kenny as Erik of Micronesia did that got himself voted off. I breathed a great relief that Bob didn’t give up his immunity!! I wish Sugar didn’t have to give her idol to Matty since he was a bigger threat than Crystal! I knew Bob was too smart to give up his immunity!!! Go Bob! I hope Bob will win as a sole Survivor! He was a great game player.
Next Sunday ~ Season Finale!! Then it will be followed by the reunion! Then next Survivor and its new location will be revealed for the spring!
