Bloody Beautiful Isn't It?

**Bloody Beautiful Isn't It?** is the sixth episode of Survivor: The Badlands.

## Previously on Survivor

Bdog tried to create a new alliance

I guess the reasoning is that he doesn't want Super and Jacob to be a pair moving forward and wants to get us okay with voting him off, but I'd prefer to keep Super

And Kerochee ended up winning the challenge

although after this tribal there will be 12 people left. hopefully jan can survive, we can win another challenge (or 2 if needed), and i can get into the merge. once im there, anything is possible

This left Bdog and Jacob in the middle

But I am sorta leaning toward taking out the sickacha. Also I don’t want to backstab Colin and candle though. So it’s a hard choice

Where after Bdog caused a stressful 3-3-1 tie vote, he chose to send Katerina home 3-2

## Story

After the big tribal council, everyone on Sickacha is shaken up.

I’m the only one on current Sickacha that’s not in an alliance. Fun

Because I'd screw my game over for that. but okay Bdog go off

And afterwards, Bdog looks to be unpopular

he loses, good reason to vote him out

A fact Bdog understands

Well I fucked myself over big time. Hopefully I can make merge. And hopefully I can stay in

The Kerochee players make plans for the merge

ill have to go more in overtime during merge tho. i think one of my weaknesses in orgs is that i set myself up early with good allies but it can be hard for me to adapt to new people and establish new relationships. ofc got to get to the merge but i feel pretty good about my chances

Like it's good but I have nothing to say if I'm safe LOL. I think that's a bad thing

## Challenge

The challenge for today is hero puzzles. Each tribe will send one representative each round to compete in a puzzle-off. Whoever finishes first score a point for their tribe. The first tribe to 2 points wins. In the end, Sickacha wins immunity, escaping tribal council!

### On Sickacha

Rosalynd takes a look at her game so far, she decides against flipping on Colin

I won't actually throw Colin under the bus right now because I need the numbers, but I also don't believe that OG Sikacha will really stick together. Penguin taking the immunity for himself, Colin being a prime social goat (irrespective of strategy), and Travis being . . . Travis; makes it really hard to go to the end with such a crazy group. I just can't get a read on any of them honestly.

### On Kerochee

Penguin's safe with the immunity necklace he won from Greed

Which leads into point two of why I don't care about this vote. Because since I'm safe, it's just free for me to see if og timacha is strong or not. If we are, then I'll be with them going forward and into the merge. And if they're not, I'll just pull out my uno reverse cards and change teams

Travis touches on his gameplan

The jolly neighbor. Hey my pals my neighbor Rose is a good pal and I went in Pateks van, as in like a sad dad whose impressed by vans

When Patek reaches out to him, he receives mixed signals

Early on, AJ throws Rose's name out. This is immediately leaked back to her

Oh yeah that won't happen. She's getting out and hopefully it goes well

Which means AJ is in big trouble tonight

This puts me and Jan in a weird position. We might be easy targets, but we also could be swing votes. It just depends

Penguin's sad that this is where the vote's come to

But I got to go with og timacha so that next episode we can return to og sickacha

## Tribal Council

* **Poison:** Welcome to tribal council once again Kerochee! You guys have a good track record huh. As a reminder, Penguin is immune tonight and you cannot vote for him. Speaking of, is that immunity necklace around your neck important? Would you feel scared this vote without it?
* **Penguin:** I'm going to say a very political and vague answer by responding with this statement: Immunity is always important, and I definitely feel safer tonight than I would have without it
* **Poison:** Well said! Patek, most people are predicting merge will be sooner rather than later, how is that going to affect this vote?
* **Patek:** I think with a merge potentially on the horizon it makes this vote very critical. If there are lines drawn in the sand here, those lines can carry over to the merge.
* **Poison:** Wow these are the most cookie-cutter answers I've ever heard. Rose, last tribal for y'all was a unanimous vote, are we going to see that again tonight?
* **Rose:** The vote could be unanimous but you never know what's gonna happen in tribal council
* **Poison:** Creative answer! In an effort to move on, I'd say it's time to vote. Travis, you're up.

At tribal council, AJ gives her fairwells as she's voted out unanimously 5-1 over Rose.
