Being the swing vote on a tribe means constantly staying self-aware.
Hes tried to nurture this relationship, even exposing Noelles brilliant plan against James to Karla before that vote.
With his back against the wall, he even told Karla he voted against her because of her idol.
Meanwhile, as the other vote against Karla, Owen is playing up how dumb he feels.
He helped vote out Jeanine but repeatedly claims he hasnt voted correctly since Morriah.
Blindside after blindside, Owen is left out of the vote.
His vote against Karla is far less threatening than Samis.
As brutal and cutthroat as this show is, its always been hilarious.
From this is a fucking stick!
With the new-schoolSurvivorbeing as short as it is, weve definitely lost some of that charm.
Finally, Cody parks himself against the tree andstilltakes a minute to find it.
This is no Knowledge is Power either; this is a new, massively powerful advantage.
The Choose Your Champion advantage puts Cody in a very interesting spot.
If this player wins Immunity, so does Cody.
This is an iconic challenge, although its only been played a handful of times.
Its also one that is perfect for this new advantage.
Unlike the other endurance challenges, Last Gasp is all about panic control.
He picks Owen, knowing he needs to win to survive tonights Tribal.
Last Gasp is basically torture.
Torture I would willingly partake in, but torture nonetheless.
All you have to do is hang on to a grate in the ocean.
That slow and steady, frog-in-boiling water element is key to this challenge being as dreadful as possible.
But these are not ideal conditions.
Almost immediately, swells completely cover the players, forcing them totally underwater.
Everyone drops out until Cassidy, Karla, and Owen are the final remaining players.
After an honorable two hours, Cassidy bails, leaving Karla and Owen hanging on.
I get a little tickled when Jeff is thrown so completely off guard that he must redefine the game.
No one has ever lasted through the entire high tide before.
Of the four in danger of going home, only Cassidy and Sami are in trouble.
Jesse has two immunity idols, and Gablers not going anywhere.
Why give your biggest competition any help this late in the game?
If Karla wants to go against Cass, she will have to get some blood on her own hands.
At this point, the easy vote is the clear middleman, Sami.
He could be bluffing, but everyone knows he has no way out otherwise.
Six players remain: two strong duos, one low man on the totem pole, and one Gabler.
His most convincing lie?
Pretending to be 22, an age no one would ever choose to be.
Shoutout to Casss Twitter for making me aware ofthis gem.
