Jo's Cafe

Of course they started out with the recap of last week’s show.

The show opens up with resting/sleeping monkeys in the tree and the CSM shooting them with an air gun. He said he “HATES” those things. LOL Glad they’re just on TV.

Day 9

At NAKUM Tribe, Cindy is complaining about the “triple digit heat”. Woman, have you never been to Texas in the middle of the summer? The CSM is laughing at her and telling her to get over it. Wish she could hear him so she’d shut the hell up! The tribe is tired because of the heat sucking the energy out of them. That and they are just flat ass lazy, but that’s for another show. The mosquitoes are having a feast on these guys. But if I remember correctly, the shows producers have always choose sites with hungry mosquitoes. The Farmer says he’s going to just lay around and do nothing. He goes on to say how their tribe is “on top” and they’re better than the other tribe.

Cut to YAXHA Tribe — good segway Farmer — We are watching the tribe catching minnows. Pretty smart I’d say. While there we get to see grand-daddy crocodile swimming around. This guy looks big enough to take one of my boys and have him for a scooby snack.

On to the Reward Challenge. Ah what a twisted life we live in the jungle when we allow Jeff to control us. We get to learn about how we feel about each other, and a little about the other tribe. Everyone is sitting on jungle type bleachers with note pads.

Jeff asks everyone to tell him who on their tribe needs the most nourishment. Everyone answers and the person who gets the most votes from each tribe’s gets a — drum roll — apple.

Jeff asks everyone to tell him who on their tribe smells the worst. Bobby Jon and Gary win this one, and apparently hands down with pinched noses. They get 5 gallons of water, soap, and other shower items. They take these showers in “front” of their tribe mates, who jokingly kid them about not missing spots, etc. They then all sniff the newly clean members when they return. I’d've taken my clothes in the shower with me and got the smell out of them too, because putting on dirty, smelly clothes over a clean body sucks!

Jeff asks everyone to chose from their tribe a man and women who desires or deserves a picnic. Gary and Amy from YAXHA and Judd and Margaret from NAKUM get this huge ass picnic basket with blanket and told to take it off to the top of some hill or Mayan pyramid and enjoy. No bringing back anything for their other tribe mates. Talk is brought up about Gary and football. He won’t come off it, and tells them he’s a landscaper. Amy makes a comment to the camera only that if Gary is a football player, he’s probably a millionaire already and she’ll be mad as hell. This is the reason why Gary won’t tell you guys who he is — and just because he “was” a football player, doesn’t mean he’s rich people. Assuming makes an ass out of You and Me.

Jeff asks everyone who on their tribe’s has the most tribe pride. I don’t remember who actually won this, but —- these two people are told that they are to move over to a tarp on the ground. They are the member from each tribe that will remain on that tribe. Everyone else is going to switch. So — whoever else is sitting on the bleachers from both tribes, sans the 4 on the picnic, now will go to the other tribe. However, one tribe has 1 too many people. One by one, each member comes up and does the find the quarter under the cup game, but with a buff. When the other tribe’s buff comes up, that person goes to that tribe and the rest go to the other tribe. So now we have a partial tribe switch. The 4 members on the picnic will go back to the tribes they were on before leaving on the festive event.

Each tribe goes back to their camps and the new members start to get to know each other. At YAXHA Amy and Gary return (now Danni who knows he was a football player is on “his” tribe) and Amy is cussing up a storm when she sees/finds out what happened. Bleep Bleep Bleep — geez lady, get some soap LOL NAKUM people outnumber YAXHA people. Gary says he will continue his cover, even when Danni cuts her eyes at him when he maintains the landscaper spiel.

NAKUM and Margaret is “stunned” — but not into silence unfortunately for us. She goes on ad nauseum about being stunned. Get over it nursipoo. Judd is in “whatever” mode. He is playing it cool, no friction — but when he goes and talks with Stephanie and Jamie, he tells them he feels comfortable with them, there is a connection.

Then is starts to rain! Grab the soap people, or something, so you all can get cleaned up like Gary and Bobby Jon did. But alas, they all just get under shelter.

Day 11 (I missed where Day 10 was)

Bobby Jon and Blake are taking a leak – fortunately we only get the back view. It has to be a guy thing standing as they were. They are discussing picking off the YAXHA members – Amy, Brian and Gary in that order.

Amy’s ankle looks awful. It’s still swollen and painful, but she’s not going to show the new members pain. She’s feeling like a target. You are girlfriend.

Immunity Challenge.
Paddle your boat out and grab 3 tribe colored bags and then paddle back to shore.
Inside the bags are tribal war clubs.
Throw a club at 3 tiles hanging up down the way.
First tribe to break all 3 tiles wins.

Judd spends way too much time trying to hit his — but finally does, but alas the new YAXHA tribe wins. Stephanie is crushed.

NAKUM tribe camp and the talk is about it’s 4 YAXHA tribe members against 4 NAKUM tribe members. NAKUM girls get together and want to vote Lydia off. YAXHA tribe members want to vote of Brooke. Judd is the swing vote.

Off to tribal council and Jeff picks on Stephanie being bad luck, or bringing bad luck with her.

Vote

Brooke 5
Lydia 4

Brooke goes home. Everyone knows Judd pulled the vote. He’s playing the game folks. Remember — the game?

And then there were 14.
