If You’ve Ever Seen Miley Cyrus’s Wrecking Ball, That’s Me, I’m That Wrecking Ball

**It's Giving Hip Grandpa....Broken Hip Grandpa** is the ninth episode of *Survivor: Jurassic Park.*

 After our last tribal, the players found out that they would be competing in Claire's EnDearing Character Portraits - recreating photos of Jurassic Park characters. There were many great submissions, but for the judges, Mandi Logan’s stood out above the rest. This secured her second individual immunity win in a row.

 At tribal, Mandi started things off by discussing being potentially viewed as a threat for winning two immunities in a row - noting that she is definitely worried and wasn’t expecting to win. Jackie Illyse then spoke about her idol play at the last tribal, saying that while it was a great move, it sucks knowing 8 people didn’t want her there. Michael Schaefer then talked about not being able to submit for the challenge, explaining that he had a lot going on and it wasn’t to do with comfortability. Morgan Miles then spoke about last tribal and how she believes that it brought a spotlight on the use of advantages, how shocking it can be, and how it can shake up the game. Tyler Tesone then spoke about the idol play at the last tribal, saying that it may make people more inclined to play something, but that he didn’t think people were concerned about resumes yet. Rita Jones then discussed stray votes and how the reasoning behind them depends on the person at hand, and what they were feeling or told at the time. Chris Miller then spoke about a possible attempt of retaliation from the Nublar side, saying that the thought of it scared the crap out of him because he’s from old Sorna. Mark Eaglesham then talked about the effect that the original tribal lines or the opening Pangea twist may have on the game - noting that everyone has to consider the finish line and the people you need to get there. Cameron McCarty then discussed the fact that he may be considered a social threat based on the fact that he was originally on Masrani with many Nublar people, as well as on the swapped Sorna tribe. Ian Flanagan then searched in his chicken parm for answers on whether or not an advantage would be played tonight - concluding that one wouldn’t be. Christina Nash then spoke about detriments to peoples’ games in terms of making a move or not, saying that it depends on what their motive is behind the move they make. John Maroldo then spoke about challenge weaknesses, saying that in the pre-merge you want to have the strongest tribe, but in the post-merge, you want to be the strongest individual. Lastly, Molly Zack explained that her vote tonight would be based on conversations, trust, and her Chipotle bowl.

Before the votes were read, Christina stepped up to play her Indominus Rex advantage. This allowed her and the immunity winner, Mandi, to each nominate someone to be voted out. The two nominees could only be taken off the voting block by an idol.

 Christina chose to nominate Michael and Mandi chose to nominate Rita - with no one stepping forward to play an idol. When the votes were read, it was Rita who would become the next person voted out of Jurassic Park and the second member of the jury.
