One contestant single-handedly flips four votes to change the game
Survivoris incredible.
There are so many reasons to love this show, and this latest episode basically had them all.
But none of that was even the best part.

and then laid out a plan to make it happen.
That gave them the majority, but Michelle wasnt done.
And she did it right there at Tribal Council.
Ill tell you later.
!Ill tell you later?
As in, after the vote?
Ill tell you afterwards, not now.Not now?
WHY NOT NOW?!
Afterwards is after the vote!
No way a superfan like Hannah falls for this nonsense!
Only, she did.
The woman who wanted so desperately to break up Kappa KappaSurvivorjust got absolutely played.
Think about it: Hannah changed her vote based on absolutely no evidence of anything whatsoever.
What did youthinkhe was going to say?!
I honestly cant believe she fell for the Ill tell you later bit.
Is it too late to change my selection?
(Hey, at least I didnt pick Mari, whom I wasseriouslyconsidering.)
But again, give it up for Michelle.
Last week I was all about Mari, Hannah, and Zeke.
We begin over at the Gen X beach.
Right now I think Im playing a miserable game, says David, who is playing a miserable game.
But David is starting to turn things around.
First, he makes fire!
Could things be turning around for David?
At the very least, its a move in the right direction.
Meanwhile, over at the Millennials beach, Taylor is telling us how super rad Figgy is.
Or super not caring about personal hygiene.
For her part, Figgy thinks nobody cares about her showmance with Taylor.
Yeah, you tell em, Jay!
No couple has ever lasted onSurvivor.
Wait, hold on…
Sorry about that, mySurvivor: All-StarsDVD just fell off the shelf for some reason.
(And yes, I have shelves full of DVDs.
And VHS tapes, if you must know.
IM A GEN XER, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!)
Do Millennials do bowling night?
Or does bowling night just consist of watching hipster bowling movies likeThe Big LebowskiandKingpin?
But damn, this was one amazing shot by theSurvivorcamera department and quite a score by Ken.
Anyway, they quickly get fellow outsider CeCe on board.
On someSurvivorlocations, the tribe beaches are actually on the same island as base camp.
Fiji is not one of those locations.
So when Paul dropped, there was no Dr. Joe to rush in to help him.
A little heart attack?
People are no doubt going to slam David for that comment, but I wont.
He didnt boast about how happy he was Paul suffered a huge medical scare.
He just acknowledged the thought occurred to him that Pauls removal would most likely benefit him in the game.
I would have done the same.
Now, granted, I am a terrible person, but then again, arent most of us?
And an amazing one.
I mean, just look at that water.
This is what makes a location in the South Pacific so preferable to somewhere like Nicaragua.
Yes, I am a #SurvivorLocationSnob.
No two ways about it.
Winners get both immunity and a tarp, because why not?
NEXT: All the reasons why this challenge was awesome
I love this challenge.
I love the action!
I love the scenery!
I love Chris almost losing his shorts!
I love CeCe getting two rings on targets to give her tribe the lead because I believe in redemption.
I love the Millennials losing, just so we can see how things will shake up strategically over there.
And I love when Paul exclaims Dr. Joe brought this old pirate back from the dead, baby!
I love it all.
(By the way,Pirate Master not available on CBS All Access.
Just putting that out there.)
Does it ever go well foranyoneproclaiming how much they are looking forward to going to Tribal Council?
We, of course, all know what happens next.
We know because I already recapped it at the start of this recap.
Oh, why couldnt it have been butts?!
And what kind of butt talk, exactly, are we looking at here?
I may have been a tad harsh on Hannah for getting tricked so easily at Tribal Council.
After all, she likes talking about butts.
Plus, she did makeSurvivorhistory by dethroning Eliza Orlins and stealing the title of Most Comically Indecisive Juror Ever.
It was a fitting and bizarre end to a glorious episode.
And while our recap is coming to an end as well, our coverage is definitely not.
