Ralph enjoys his time on Redemption Island with Matt and Mike.

<wide shot of Ralph, Mike and Matt on the rocks, watching and being in the waves>

<back at camp>

Matt: Dear Lord, thank you so much for the day that you've blessed us with, and just allowing us to have some time to be with ourselves, and relax, and talk. Thank you for letting us be able to make a trip out to the breakers and not be swept away, God. Thank you so much for your son, and for this dinner tonight. We praise your holy name and thank you for your mercy and grace. Amen.

<they praise Ralph for the rice he cooked them>

Ralph (solo): I'm enjoying Redemption Island. I'm not gonna lie. I love it. The island is awesome. I thought it was gonna be terrible.

Matt: I'm not gonna lie, guys, I hope we can hold this crew out to the very last thing.

Mike: That would be great. Be very nice.

Ralph (solo): I love the company. Matt seems like a good guy. Mike, man, you can't ask for a better fella.

<they talk about how beautiful the sunsets are>

Ralph (solo): I thought this was gonna be a bad place to be, but it ain't that bad. Matter of fact, I wouldn't have minded came here earlier.

Ralph the Day After

Ralph reflects on his time in the game, the day after he lost the duel on Redemption Island.

"The hardest thing I'm gonna have to face when it airs on TV - I know people are gonna say, 'Hey man, why'd you do it this way?' I thought I could do it this way. When you're out here and you're in the moment, and you're hungry, and you don't know exactly what's gonna take place next, what game's coming up, it's hard. It shocked me."

(cut)

"When I got the opportunity to come here, I thought, you know, I'll wear everything out (?) if there isn't a lot of swimming involved. I still love the game, but I ain't near what I thought I could do in some of the sports you had to do. I still love the game, I'd love having an opportunity to try it again. I ain't gonna say I hate it...I don't think I wanna try it 4 or 5 times like Boston Rob. Next year or two or three, it would be lovely to try it again. I think I might could go further. I just don't wanna jump backwards and forwards. I ain't been out in the world. Most of these folks are from LA, college people. I ain't around that back home. I didn't know hardly how to take 'em. I met some terrific people. I met Julie, Mike, Steve, David. And..."

(cut)

"Sarita. Man, we just bonded together so close there, and we talked. I said, 'I wanna be ya'lls friends. I have no clue what ya'll do for a living,  and I found out. I said, 'You seem like terrific people. I know you're on the other side of the United States from me, every one of you. I'd like to be your friends on into death. Don't let Survivor knock us out of being enemies. This is a game.' Bold moves, big moves, cut each other's throats, is what it really boils down to. We got so far in the game, we needed to stay shoulder-to-shoulder to get us further. And that's what we did. I thank the Lord to meet people like that. I've never had nothing to do with a lawyer, except to have a divorce. But David is an awesome dude."

(cut)

"I'm gonna go back home and I'm still gonna work, but I'm not gonna work on the farm like I always did. There are more things than just working. I'm not what you call wealthy, by no means, but I see right now I can live off a whole lot less. If I can wear clothes for 33 days and no underwear, that I said I could never do without; I done without my underwear 31 of them days, out of 32. I always thought, man, I can't go without underwear. I found out I can. If I had to go out and do a lot of physical work, I probably couldn't. Clothing, I'm gonna change my whole wardrobe. I'm getting rid of the clothes I want; if I don't wear it in a month, I'm getting rid of it. I don't need it. I don't need it to keep cool or to keep warm in the winter. Get rid of that crap. Give it to the needy, or take it by the dump, and whoever wants it can have it. I found out I don't need it. I need a whole lot less, but I don't really wanna change that. I like to eat, but I found out my grocery bill could be a whole lot cheaper (laughs)."

(cut)

"Survivor is a game that everyone cannot do. It is a game a lot of people should need to try before they say, 'Hey, I can win it.' Like Boston Rob. He's been on here 4 times and he still may not win. It's a hard game to win. It sure made a believer out of me. It's tough."

(cut)

"Can't figure it out. Then people at home says, Ralph, you're gonna win that thing. No way they can outdo you. I'm gonna have my tail tucked under. I'm gonna look bad when they see me. They're gonna think, man, you ain't nothing but an idiot. Well, I done all I can do. They're gonna say, you let a little 80 pound girl beat ya. Well, that happened, by heck. Might as well throw it up. That was a big lump to swallow. That made me shed a tear or two. (something I didn't hear) So far ahead and just right on by me, like I was sitting still. Man, that's gonna be a lump to swallow. My buddies are gonna be, you let that little girl beat you? Well, it happened."

(cut)

"But I loved it. I loved the game. I thought there was nothing like it. All I have to say is it's a whole lot harder than I thought it was gonna be."

Can't Feel Sorry For Her

Ralph doesn't feel sorry for Andrea being blind-sided by Murlonio.

"Well, last night, we was getting up in the middle of the night, and wondering who was gonna come in for Tribal Council. About bedtime, it was Andrea. Andrea come in and said she was blindsided and all that. We told her, after we was gone, it was gonna be some of that happening. It was gonna be kicked off one at a time. That's what happened. She was the first one from Ometepe tribe."

(cut)

"Well, she acted a little bit like, was we mad at her, and all that. I wasn't mad at her, and I don't think the other guys was mad at her - Mike and Matt. She kept going and telling us she was blindsided, like she wanted us to feel sorry for her. We can't feel sorry for her; it's a game. She talked and talked and talked, and we all kind of got a little sleepy. Finally she took her a nap, and she got us this morning, and wanted to talk about it. I got my arms open, I'm ready to talk about it. Wanted to know what the challenge was gonna be today. Her time's like mine, it's gettin' pretty close, if we don't keep winning. Someone's gonna lose, regardless."

(cut)

"I ain't got any hard feelings against her, Andrea. She shoulda made a bold move and a big move to help her out earlier in the game, before we was all voted off. She thought this was never gonna happen. It's gonna happen, it's a game. I explained to her. I said last night. Rob used you just like a piece of toilet paper. When it was your time to come off the roll, he wiped his hind end with you and throw you away. That's the way it happens. That simple."

 

---

Rob sees Mike as a threat, since he is the last Zapatera on Redemption Island.

"At Redemption Island today, Ralph went home. He had a huge lead at the first part of the puzzle, but he screwed up at the second part. I wasn't really too surprised. That's the way it goes. He definitely seemed emotional throughout the thing, and you could tell the experience touched him. That's good."

(cut)

"I would have rather Ralph stayed in the game, over Mike or Matt, but at this point, there's nothing I can do about it. My mother always told me to worry about the things you can control, and not the things you can't."

(cut)

"I'd rather Mike or Matty go home, because physically, they're gonna be more of a threat to me to come back into the game to win an individual immunity. Matt's done it time after time after time and Mike's been in the top every time he's done it, too."

(cut)

"Mike's the last Zapatera standing. If he makes it to the finals, he's probably pretty much guaranteed 4 votes. It only takes 5 to win."

It's Hot

Phillip is taking a rare break to escape the heat.

"Just taking a moment to try to get some of this heat off of us, myself included. We just got back from the duel at Redemption Island, and it's so hot, I found me a spot with a little bit of shade, where I wash my clothes, boil them. Just gonna move real slow today."

(cut)

"For lunch, we're gonna have a little more rice. It was a decision we had to come together with, because we only have about 5 days worth of rice, maybe 6. We were very concerned about whether we should make mid-day rice. But we're all feeling a little week, so we decided to go forth with a three-quarter cup of rice. Hopefully that will give us the juice we need to get through today, and prepare for the evening, gathering the firewood and stuff like that, when it cools off a little bit."

Phillip is Immature

Natalie is frustrated that Phillip blew up over the rice.

"Once again, Phillip's back to the old Phillip that we basically met in the beginning. We had a discussion about rice, me and Ashley wanted to save the rice. The boys are just like, 'We should just eat.' I know when it's down to the last couple days, whoever's left is going to be left with nothing to eat. So we were kind of just voicing our opinion, and both of us are a little frustrated, because we're always overruled by the guys, and Phillip goes along with whatever Rob and Grant want. Phillip just, we voiced our opinion, and Phillip kind of got nasty with us. Just saying $!@%% things that didn't even make sense, out of anger."

(cut)

"He's very aggressive and scary. I've never really met anybody that's like that, so when he comes after me and attacks me and starts saying things that don't make any sense, it freaks me out. Yesterday he got really aggressive, I said please stay out of my face, you don't need to get so close when you're talking to me, it makes me nervous. He jumped up - I was sitting on the shelter - jumped up on the shelter, almost about to sit on my lap. I  got up really fast because I didn't want to talk anymore and there's nothing left to be said. He's immature and I don't want to have to deal with it."

(cut)

"Once you talk back to Phillip, it's a never-ending process. He comes at us with all these things, saying we don't need to eat, and we don't need this, and the boys are the ones that are winning the challenges, and not us. Then he contradicts himself. It's frustrating, because there's so much I wanna say, and I always feel the need to defend myself. But with Phillip, because he's so immature, he can't even sit back and listen to my side of the story. He just cuts you off, and there's no way of settling the dispute with him."

The Tide Has Turned

Ashley is pleased that she won immunity and Grant is being voted out of the game.

"I without a doubt needed that immunity today. I honestly feel like if I had not won, I could be on the chopping block and could be going to Redemption Island. If there was any challenge to win, this was the one I need to win. When I won, it was still like, did I really just win? It was awesome, but I felt like the happiest person ever, to have that necklace around my neck. That's the only time you can feel 100% safe. Finally tonight I feel really good and I think we're gonna make a really big move that's gonna change the game a lot, so I'm really excited about Tribal Council for once."

(cut)

"The plan right now that we're hoping goes down is we're gonna blindside Grant. It sucks, because I love Grant, he's a great person, but strategically, to have him around, being as strong a competitor as he is, and as likeable as he is, to the people on the jury, if he keeps winning, it wouldn't be good. If we have the chance we have to get rid of him. So we're gonna go for that tonight. As far as I know, everybody's on board. I think Grant thinks we're voting for Phillip, but we're all gonna blindside him. It's a big move. I feel like a lot has changed, just by winning today. I feel like the tide has turned, and if we get rid of Grant, that's kind of Rob's right-hand person out here. We get rid of Grant, and he has to kind of start relying on me and Natalie a little bit more. All he's gonna have out here is Phillip, and I'm not sure how reliable Phillip is at this point. I kind of feel like the tide's changing, which is really exciting."

(cut)

"We're choosing to get rid of Grant over Phillip, because Phillip's not really a threat, and honestly, he's pissed so many people off on the jury, as much as it's paining me not to vote him off, it's smarter for me at this point to keep him here."

(cut)

"To get rid of Grant, he's gonna have to go to Redemption Island and have to face some tough competitors, against Matt, Mike, and Andrea. Even if he does win and does come back, we're right back where we started and we've gotta get rid of him again. But at the same time, if we keep Grant and get rid of Phillip, then the person that comes back from Redemption is a strong competitor and we've gotta get rid of two people. To me, it makes the most sense, and I don't think Rob really thought of it until Natalie and I brought it to his attention. It's the perfect time, and while we have a chance we've gotta take advantage of it and get rid of a strong competitor like Grant while we can."

We're So Hungry

Ashley admits that Murlonio is running out of rice.

"The food situation is stressful, cause we don't have a lot. At this point we're kind of surviving on a shell, a scoop in the morning and a scoop at night. It's day 34 and we're exhausted. We're literally so hungry. It's hard to find energy to do anything. It's been really hot the last couple days, so all you can do really is try to find shade and conserve your energy as much as possible. Rob was talking about going to catch fish, but you only catch one tiny fish, and you exert so much energy, is it really worth it. We're battling a lot right now. It's hard when you get to this point. It didn't help that we didn't really ration as well as we could have, and the Zapatera tribe ate their faces off while they were here, so now we're struggling. It's not fun."

(cut)

"The starvation is getting to people, for sure. Like yesterday, there was a huge blowup about the rice. We don't have a lot, so Natalie and I thought we shouldn't eat 3 times a day. When we counted the cups out, we only have enough for 2 cups a day. We're hungry, but drink water, do something else. We can't just keep eating or else come day 37, when there's still 2 days left, we're gonna have no food. Phillip kind of blew up and said we don't need the extra energy and calories like the men do and that caused a whole big argument and so..."

(cut)

"Phillip pretty much said Grant and Rob and him are bigger guys, and they need to eat more than Natalie and I do. He said before I came here, he's telling me, that I consumed 1700 calories of food a day. How he knows that, I have no idea. He consumed 3300 calories. In his mind, I don't need to be eating as much as he does, and Grant and Rob. He's out of his mind, pretty much. That makes no sense. We're all on even playing ground here, we all need to eat, we're all starving. I'm hungry, Grant's hungry, Rob's hungry, we're all hungry. It doesn't matter whether we're male or female. We all need to eat. He's got issues."

They're Not Playing the Game

Grant feels that the people on Redemption Island aren't really playing the game.

"Redemption Island, the challenge, the duel, was Andrea, Matty, Mike, and Ralph. Ralph ended up going home. He got all the way to the end and messed up on the puzzle. He's not the best puzzle guy and he knows it."

(cut)

"Andrea got a little emotional. She didn't expect the blindside coming. This is the game of Survivor. She was cocky in Tribal Council, thinking she was safe. Never a good time to say that, especially at Tribal Council. Your ass could be going home. Or to Redemption Island."

(cut)

"Seems to be the case at Tribal Council. If you're overconfident in your position, it seems to be your time to go home."

(cut)

"Based on what Jeff's saying out there on Redemption Island, it's pretty clear - he's said it numerous times - one person will have a chance to get back in this game. They're gonna have a chance to wreak havoc with the rest of the people playing this game, and they're gonna have a chance to win a million dollars, which, like I said, leaves me to believe they're gonna have to come through more than one challenge to stay safe in this game. Even if one was to make it to the very end it doesn't give them a free million dollars. They're gonna have to win it arguing. If and when I'm sitting there, or when, rather, I'm sitting there, I'm gonna pose a pretty damned good argument. People on Redemption Island aren't playing the game. They're outlasting; that's it. There's no outwit, there is an outplay but really you're playing against people that are already out of the game. This whole game is what we're doing right now, over here. Matty would have been gone #2 if there had been no Redemption Island. You're telling me he's playing a good game? Yeah, he's doing what he can over at Redemption Island, but also, he's not dealing with any politics over there. I don't see any of them winning this thing or coming to the final, but again, if they do, they're gonna have to fight, they're gonna have to fight to win it. I'm not letting that happen."

Big Pain in My Ass

Rob is tired of the complications caused by sending people to Redemption Island.

"The duel was pretty uneventful. Ralph blew a huge lead, but it didn't really surprise me he did. What did surprise me was that Redemption Island is still going on. That means we're probably going to have to send someone else there. I'm just wondering when it's gonna end at this point. It was once a little pain in my ass and now it's starting to become a big pain in my ass. I wish it'd be over already."

(cut)

"I get it, if you need a second chance, it's a good thing, but if you're sitting where we're sitting over here, you want it to be done with."

(cut)

"Until Jeff actually says Redemption Island's actually gonna end, we don't know when it will. It's kind of like an unknown quantity. You can speculate on it all you want, but at the end of the day, until you actually know, speculation  really doesn't do you much good."

(cut)

"There's some good competition there. Matty's been there since day 5. Mike's been strong and finished first in every single one he's been there. Not every one, but Mike's finished at the top of almost every one he's competed in. And you know, Andrea, first time there, she comes out with a win. So, good competition. At the end of the day only one of 'em's coming back."

Despicable Behavior

Phillip is tired of Ashley and Natalie being lazy and disrespectful.

"I found Natalie and Ashley extraordinarily lazy around the camp. For 33 days they have basically laid around, slept close to Rob and Grant, and that has been their lifestyle."

(cut)

"And Natalie is from a little bitty town...and she's been coveted at home, and she has no real world experience, even though she's a very nice girl. She's a very nice girl on her very first camping experience. And she's playing for a million dollars. She expects that we're supposed to hold her all the way through and then allow her to receive the million dollars. Not on my watch. I helped you up to a point, but when I ask you to do something, I expect you to do something. If I try to explain to you, since I've been carrying you all this way, I expect you to at least give me the benefit of the doubt. She has not been able to do that. Nor Ashley - Miss Maine, who is a pencil at this point. A pencil. The only thing she seems to do extraordinarily well is trim Boston Rob's beard.  I'm tired of it. I have been for a while. I can tolerate you as long as you stay out of my way and are not argumentative with me. If you start doing that I'm going to start calling you up on your crap and letting you know that you don't do much around here."

(cut)

"I feel very underappreciated by those girls and I'm tired of doing my weight and carrying them as well."

(cut)

"They don't realize that for a large part of this I have carried them. I've been able to keep the fire so they can get their nourishment. I gathered the wood. Today alone has been an exhausting day. They don't say thank you for the wood, or nothing."

(cut)

"I've made excuses for them. I've rationalized everything I can rationalize about their despicable behavior, about how they should try to respond to an adult who isn't trying to ill-treat them, and has been going out of his way to help them."

(cut)

"I'm done."

Duel #10

Matt is proud of surviving his tenth duel in a row.

"Duel #10 today. I'm very fortunate and blessed to have won it, I believe. It  was a pretty fun duel. You had a table maze with a peg you had to move all the way through it. That was kind of fun. Much more difficult than I thought it was gonna be. I kind of got a slow start to it, but I smashed the tile and had to do the jigsaw puzzle. I made pretty good progress in the jigsaw puzzle..."

(cut)

"Then I realized I had spelled Redemption "oin" instead of "ion" because it was a trapezoid piece. Flipped it around, and I'm just blessed enough and humbled to still be here."

(cut)

"I feel absolutely great right now. I'm thrilled to still be in the game. I'm gonna make it through 28 days, I think, on Redemption Island, which was one of my goals. I've been humbled by God in the last few duels, because I think I've squeaked out third place or last place multiple times. He's saying,  'I'm the one who's doing this, not you.' Today was really humbling for me. It's God's will again, and if He wants me to go forward, I'll go forward. I'll be so thankful then as well."

I'll Shock Him

Phillip knows he can beat Grant in challenges.

"I feel very certain about what's gonna happen next. I'm gonna give it all to get immunity. I'm just waiting for that event that shows up. I don't know what it is. I have an idea of one that I can definitely give any man here a run for his money. I'll tell you what it is. It's a challenge where they put sand and you hold it over your back. If I get that challenge, you will see Grant fail. I guarantee you. He will go down to me if that challenge comes up. Any challenge where the majority requires upper body, holding on, while something's pulling down on it, I know I can, I'll shock him. He's be like that dude is still standing there. What's the deal? He's 52. I'm 29. He's got me on leg speed, particularly when it's repetitive. If I had to do something like, 'OK, gentlemen, ready, set, go!'  and it's one time, I could give Grant a run for his money, right now. I play basketball and I know what I can do. I haven't done it here because there's always something else I have to do in sequence to that, and I know I don't have the gas to keep going at my age now."

I Want Back in the Game

Andrea is ready to get off Redemption Island and back into the game.

"Back at the other camp, the sleeping arrangements were a little different. We had a tarp, we had some nice blankets, we could completely cuddle up with people and have blankets around you. Here, there's actually pecking order. If you're the fourth person in, you sleep on the ground on a board, then if you're the third person, you sleep on the ground, a little elevated. The two people who have been here the longest get to sleep in the shelter, on the bamboo. That's another incentive to beat one of the boys in a duel, so I can sleep better. (laughs) It's OK. The board's not really that comfortable, but I have to make do."

(cut)

"I'm glad I got to go to Redemption Island, to experience it, but I'm also glad I didn't have to be here that long. The days are really long. This is my first full day and already it's like, OK, this is boring. There's only a couple of people to talk to, and all they really want to talk about is food and how they miss their family. It kind of makes you go, oh, I want to think about food, I miss my family. It's cool to be here, to experience the Redemption Island part, but it will also be kind of nice to get back in the game."

Emotional at Duel

Andrea explains why she was emotional at the duel.

"I had my first duel. It was against Mike, Matt, and Ralph. It started with a table maze, where we had to take this handle, make it through the table maze, smash a tile, grab puzzle pieces, and complete the puzzle. I was a little emotional at the duel. I had this huge range of emotions while being at the duel. I was a little frazzled at the beginning. I was frustrated at the table maze, I realized everyone was ahead of me. I was too stubborn, I was trying to get through instead of backtracking. It kind of started off at a really bad point. Then fortunately I got to the puzzle part, got really focused, deep breaths, and I ended up coming in second. I'm still at Redemption Island."

(cut)

"I got emotional when Jeff started asking me about my night after being blindsided and coming to Redemption Island. Even though I'm trying to be tough out here, 'Oh yeah, blindsided,' when he says all that, it did really hurt. In 12-14 hours, I experienced being completely blindsided, completely shocked. All the sudden I come to Redemption Island, they're not that nice to me. There's this weird tension, it's like everybody teaming up against Andrea. I slept on the floor, I didn't get much sleep. I'm going to my first duel, I'm kind of nervous, I'm a little excited. All these emotions come up and then I'm like, yeah, I'm a little emotional right now. Some tears came out."

(cut)

"It feels really awesome to have made it past my first duel. I came in second. I beat Matt. I came back from being really far behind in the table maze, to completing the puzzle, doing well. The feeling of hitting it, was like, 'THERE.' It was like hitting my former Ometepe tribe. It felt awesome."

(cut)

"It makes me even more pumped up. I'm still in this game. If I can get back in the game as an underdog, I have an even better chance of winning."

Ponderosa Ralph Part 1

Ralph loses the Redemption Island duel and is sent to Ponderosa, becoming the fourth member of the jury this season

<Ralph walks off>

Ralph (solo): Glad I made it this far. 33 days. I can't wait to eat. I'm starved. The hunger really made me do a lot of thinking about what am I doing out here starving. I am a great eater. I love eating. Eating and working. (something else I can't hear)

Ralph (another interview): I had a chance at a million dollars, and I lost it on a puzzle.

Ralph (in the car): Man, oh man. Can't believe I'm out of the game. So far ahead. I missed home. Never been away from home this long in my life. (sees a tomato truck in front of the car) Fried tomatoes, man! This is unreal. Seeing this, something I've never seen before. (sees some kids on the sidewalk rolling tires) Look at those kids. Beautiful. This is amazing the heck out of me.

(David/Steve/Julie waiting)

David: I can't tell. Looks like a hairy guy.

Julie: Looks like a hairy guy!

<they greet him happily, as he tells them he lost because of a puzzle; Julie marvels at his beard>

Ralph (solo): I came to Ponderosa, and they welcomed me with open arms.

Steve: Now it's time for a huge (?) lunch. Dude, you fought like a warrior. (shakes Ralph's hand)

<Ralph learns he lost 24 pounds, same as Julie; he looks at his beard and then eats a lot of food before going to his room>

Ralph: I guess this is the closest thing to being a millionaire, winning the million. Next step down. I'm going to accept this and enjoy the rest of my days here.

<Ralph brushes his teeth, then goes to talk to David as David makes drinks>

Ralph: I'm glad I'm here, but I miss the game.

David: I didn't view it as I lost. I gained a lot, including a very good friendship that will last. If there's a way to lose something and lose gracefully, I think we both did it.

<Julie, Ralph, and Steve watch the sun set>

Ralph (solo): Life at Ponderosa is beautiful. I'm going to enjoy it while I'm here. Then I'm gonna get ready to go home.

Ponderosa Ralph Part 2

The jury members go boating and fishing at Morgan's Rock

<Steve and Julie get treemail>

Steve: Take a tour on a boat at Morgan's Rock.

Julie: What? Alright!

Steve: Sweet.

<they get David and Ralph and they all take a trip to the beach>

David (taking a photo): Looks like it's gonna be fun.

<they get in a small boat>

Ralph (solo): Got on to the little boat and got on the big boat. 

Ralph: I love it. First time I ever got to do anything like this, and it's awesome.

<Julie and Ralph sit at the front of the boat>

Ralph: This is like being drunk.

Julie: I wouldn't know, I've never been drunk. (laughs)

Julie: Ralph, you're so lucky.

Julie (solo): First time he's ever been on the ocean. I was hoping he wouldn't get sick and would enjoy it.

Ralph: This is awesome.

<Steve joins them and they fist bump; later, David has joined them and they're fishing>

Ralph (solo): David caught one in about 18-20 minutes. Took a good while.

<Ralph, Steve, and Julie each catch a fish>

David (solo): It was great. I caught the biggest fish. I won; everybody else lost.

<Steve, Julie, and Ralph look at the view>

Ralph (solo): I enjoyed the view of the water and the hillside and the beaches.

<everyone goes diving into the water>

Ralph: Just sit back, and man, this is something I'll never forget. You can't ask for any better than this.

<they go back to Ponderosa>

Steve: It was a nice day at Morgan's Rock. It's nice to be back here, on solid ground.

<the mackerel Steve and Ralph caught is cooked for dinner>

Ralph: My goodness. Sure beats sitting around that campfire.

Ponderosa Part 3

The jury gets ready for Tribal Council

<Julie, Ralph, and Steve look out at the ocean>

Ralph: There's some whales that got their tails up out of the water. Looks like about 300 yards, yonder rocks. Waving its tail, blowing water.  Huge. You see that tail coming out of the water like it's waving? First time I ever seen that.

<Ralph eats and plays pool with Steve>

Ralph (solo): I can't wait to go to Tribal Council and sit on the jury. I'm gonna try to smile, (didn't hear this part) and see who's voted off tonight.

Steve (solo): Stinks being out of it, but we have a full stomach and just sit on the other side of the table and watch this trainwreck happening. The backstabbing's gonna start, and who's gonna rise to the top?

Ralph (solo): I don't think it will be Phillip. I think it'll be one of the girls, Ashley or Natalie. Boston Rob might vote Grant off to eliminate Matt and Mike.

<they walk to the van>

Steve: Let's see the next chapter. Who's getting voted off.

So, last night, the arrival of Andrea was very different than the previous arrivals we had with Julie, David, Ralph, and Steve. Last night there was some animosity between Matt and Andrea and Ralph and Andrea. It wasn't exactly a welcoming hut last night. Matt is still pretty disgruntled with the Ometepe tribe, and he was closest to Andrea, so I think her showing up reminds him of how she really burned him, twice. It came out last night in conversation.

I kind of figured it would be the girls, most likely Andrea. I wasn't really surprised, but I was happy to tell her, hey, if you and Matt jumped, we would have taken it to the final 4, as I promised you. I think Matt knows that. I'm a little upset with Matt that he shared the information I shared with him to his tribe and Rob. I wish Andrea had been bold enough to jump over to. But they felt the decisions they needed to make. I fell short of saying "I told you so," but I kind of expected to see her tonight.

(cut)

My personal opinion of Andrea is that she seems like a great gal. She seems hard-working, from the Midwest, really nice. Last night i  was trying to get some sleep and...

(cut)

She wanted to chat all night. But I just wish she was a little bit more brazen. If she had made a move during the mere, it would have paid off.

(cut)

Andrea was just blindsided by her tribe, and she was part of voting, Matt, Ralph, and I out. Andrea's really not feeling welcomed by her tribe or the remaining folks here on Redemption Island. She's definitely the odd man out.
