Survivor Fiji: Episode 13 & Finale Spoilers

This is going to be another interesting week on Survivor so be sure to catch this one as it is wheeling and dealing part 2.

This week is the car reward challenge in which the survivors are broken up into teams of 3 and tied together in order to complete a 3 stage challenge involving axe throwing, a rope maze and digging for, of course, puzzle pieces. The teams are Boo, Yau-Man and Stacy on one side and then Earl, Cassandra and Dreamz on the other. Yau-Man eventually wins the car. However he is willing to deal it in return for safety and ends up giving the car to Dreamz. Yau-Man will send himself to exile island in hopes of fining it but Earl is the one who nabs it first. No word yet on where exactly the third idol is located.

The immunity challenge looks like a strategy one where they are all on balance beams over the watter. Supposedly this challenge is won by Boo. The group then decides to secretly vote out Yau-Man but he uses to idol and Stacy goes instead.

Finale Spoilers: Final 5 to being the finale. Boo is out first and Yau-Man goes out second. That leaves Cassandra, Dreamz and earl in the final 3 for the jury vote. It looks like Earl will win with Dreamz coming in second. I wouldn't be shocked to see that reversed.

The Bachelor's Final Choice Spoiled?

Once again, the Bachelor's final rose recipient has been supposedly spilled. If you want to know who Andy proposes to and the final result then keep reading. If not then stay away. Major spoilers ahead.

Survivor Fiji: Episode 12 Spoilers

A little surprise on the boot last week but we'll make up for that this week! The reward challenge is another one recycled for Survivors past and has the contestants chomping into a side of meat and ripping off as many chunks as possible in order to meat some weight goal. The challenge looks to be individual and Yau-Mam is the winner. The reward is a white water rafting trip and it appears that Yau-Man chooses Dreamz, Boo and/or Cassandra. Earl is sent to Exile and has a good chance of finding the third hidden immunity idol with the second clue. Speculation is that this idol will be hidden on exile island, rather than on camp as the first two were. For the immunity challenge, its looks like the reward winner gets to select one person to sit out the challenge entirely as Boo is the one who gets to ride the pine. This challenge will be a multi stage skills course with the top 3 finishers going at it in the last stage. Alex will make it to the final 3 in this challenge but Dreamz gets immunity. There is a good chance Alex gets the heave ho this week.

Survivor Fiji: Episode 11 Spoilers

After last week's whirlwind episode this one will be a lot calmer. a few things do happen to stir the pot such as Mookie and Alex finding Yau-Man has the other hidden immunity idol and trying to blackmail him about it. The reward challenge will be a game of launch and catch with the remaining 8 split into 2 teams. Those team are Stacy, Earl, Dre and Alex on the Green team and Yau-Man, Mookie, Boo and Cassandra on the Orange team. The Green team prevails and wins a trip on a seaplane and undoubtedly some more food. Yau-Man gets sent to exile but more in a move from Earl to get clues to the location of the newly hidden immunity idol. The immunity challenge is a bit of a mystery but could be one of those thinking memory games. Yau-Man is speculated to keep the immunity idol. This will make it pretty easy to boot Alex from the game.
