Beauty vs. The Beast

**Beauty vs. The Beast** is the thirteenth episode of *Survivor: French Guiana*.

## Summary

### Redemption Island

Randy arrives at Redemption Island, looking a bit shy as he notices Anthony. Randy immediately heads to him and apologizes. After an conversation that held on for two hours, the two are back to buddies and want to see each other do good at the duel. However, Anthony still wants to beat Randy.

Zoey and Willie get to meet Randy as well. Randy comes clean about why he applied and the story around his brother, Jason. Zoey and Willie are both shocked to hear. Zoey says she didn't expect it but she's happy Randy is the total opposite of Jason.

Anthony and Randy arrive at the duel. The duel is hosted by Zoey. The two guys battle it out. Which seems like a throwing competition on Randy's part, ends in Randy getting eliminated very quickly. Even though he looks relieved, he states he's sad he lost but he's ready to go to ponderosa and chill. He wishes everyone a nice day and leaves.

### Bélizon

Once everyone is settled again, Katrina speaks out how much a champion Randy actually is. Everyone quickly agrees, thinking that Randy showed some balls by telling his story. Charles is sad that Randy left, especially after the story because he wanted to support him. Overall Charles feels a bit down, the first time during this season.

Lucas and River decide to take a walk, with Simon following them. Katrina rolls her eyes, feeling like she's left out once again. She's getting tired of River, Lucas and Simon constantly being together. Maybe she should make a move against River, who she wanted to take out for ages.

Lundea sits together with Wendy and the two ladies talk about their future in the game. Lundea, who is super close with Katrina, knows that there might be a way to make a move. But they need to do it strictly. They can't make mistakes or else Wendy, Katrina or even Lundea might go home tonight. Wendy is in for a ride.

### Challenge

The seven remaining players arrive at the challenge. Jeff explains the challenge. It's an puzzle-game. Wendy, River and Lucas do amazingly well at it. While Wendy loses control and Lucas can't keep up, River manages to finishes the puzzle, winning individual immunity.

### Bélizon

River is glad she won immunity. She then heads to Lucas and the two grin, knowing that they're the strongest players of the tribe. Simon is happy for both of them until Katrina takes him aside. Katrina asks Simon to vote for Lucas tonight because he's getting too dangerous. Simon, who has no idea why he'd vote for Lucas, says it's better not to do that.

Out of control, Simon throws Katrina under the bus, with no bad intentions, and tells River and Lucas that Katrina is rallying up the votes against Lucas. River grins and makes a confessional, stating that it's beauty vs. the beast at this moment. One of them has to go and River knows who she will be voting for.

Wendy, Charles and Lundea are sitting together. Lundea asks if Charles wants to vote for Simon. Charles shrugs, not really feeling like he can change up the game anymore. Wendy decides to put her social game into work and acts like she feels bad for Charles. Charles falls for it and says that he probably would've acted the same if he were her. Katrina then joins the conversation and takes Lundea aside after some smooth talk. Katrina tells Lundea that they need to vote for Lucas. He's getting too dangerous. Wendy, who just followed the two girls, says that she thinks Lucas is indeed the better option. Katrina looks scared that Wendy joined them but after all, it's better she has Wendy on her side.

Simon, Lucas and River know now that Katrina is after them. Lucas tells the two that they need to get Katrina out before she can make any more moves. Simon doesn't know if that's smart and suggests sticking with the original idea to vote charles out. Lucas says they can't and heads to Wendy, informing her.

### Tribal Council

Charles, Katrina, Lucas, Lundea, River, Simon and Wendy arrive at tribal council. Jeff asks River how it feels to have won immunity. River says she's glad because suddenly all hell broke lose today and she's not sure whether the other side is going to be the majority or the side she's part of. Jeff asks Lundea if the sides are clear in this game. Lundea says they are, the lines are pretty drawn in the sand as of now. Finally, Jeff asks Lucas if he feels in danger. Lucas laughs and says that he already felt in danger even with the immunity necklace around his neck.

The players vote. As everyone is done with voting, Simon looks nervous. He stands up and walks to Jeff. He doesn't know if he's doing the right thing but he has to do it. He plays the idol for Katrina. Jeff confirms that the idol is real, no votes for Katrina will count. Simon knows that the other side is voting Lucas and between Lucas and Katrina, he needed to choose Katrina.

Jeff then reads the votes.

Lucas (3-1-1-0)

Lucas shakes his head, knowing someone flipped. He stands up and gets his torch snuffed. He waves at the rest of the players and leaves. Katrina thanks Simon for saving her.

### Votes

Katrina voted Lucas: "Even when River isn't going home, this feels like justice. She's next in my books. Sorry Lucas, but this game is getting played hard. And I have just started playin'!"

Lundea voted Lucas: "You're a tuff player so that's why I have zero regrets writing your name down."

Wendy voted Lucas: "And here we go, the king has gotten sweeped of his throne. I'm glad that I jumped ship once again because if I keep doing this I can work my way to the end and win the game because no one has played such an phenomenal game as me. Maybe you but who cares, you're out anyways."

Lucas voted Katrina: "This is the second time you're going behind our original alliance. Bad girl, Katrina."

River voted Katrina: "You seem to never learn, do you? Bye bye."

Charles voted Simon: "I have made myself a new alliance of Wendy and Lundea, the original Balourou people left. Even though I don't like Wendy, I have to do this. Sorry Simon."

Simon voted Charles: "Charles, you're not going home tonight but I have to vote for you. Who knows Lucas pops out an idol and suddenly both Katrina and Lucas are safe, then you might go home but that's probably not the case. At least I can save Katrina!"

### Final Words

"I'm out and I'm fine with that. It feels like I just came out, I don't know it feels weird but yet I'm relieved. I'm glad that I have spoken about this secret and I'm more than happy how everyone reacted. Thanks Survivor, for this amazing time and I'm ready for another season!" - *Randy, 9th Place*
