I really like Lauren's game and I do hope she wins! But there are enough left if they realize she's kind of running things she'll be gone! Can't believe Chrissy is still here but she also could win if she makes it, she has won challenges!

 Well
I wasn't looking for the first vote off to be who it
was. I think it was silly for Mike to play his idol but I
think he was thinking he got people mad at him so they would
vote him instead of Joe. But ok then.I was wondering if ,on the second vote off if Ben
was going to be voted off. I thought Lauren maybe
flipped.  They are going to have to start looking at
Lauren as IMO she is the strongest player. I think I would
like to see her winI wonder if the cast aways need to have weekly
weight checks Ryan looks like he is just so thin . Cant be
healthy.
 'Survivor:
Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers' Recap: Who is the
Secret Double Agent?

Last
time on Survivor:
Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, Dr. Mike made a big
move by playing his idol at tribal council, but it seemed to
have no actual effect on the game. That was a confusing
tribal council, and in the end, Cole was voted out, much to
Ben's delight. 
This
episode of Survivor:
Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, "Buy One, Get One
Free," once again has everyone wondering who is loyal,
and who is just making a play to get further in the game.
There are nine tribe members left, and the two remaining
Healers, Joe and Dr. Mike, are clearly in danger.

Dazed and Confused
Back
at camp, everyone is buzzing about how Dr. Mike played his
idol and caused chaos at tribal council. Dr. Mike has
reasons why he played his idol, and I do see his point. He
was afraid that Joe would be voted out, and he didn't
want to leave the game with an idol as his parting gift. Joe
would have liked to have been in on the plan, and it seems
that all hope is lost for the last two Healers. Dr. Mike
somehow remains optimistic about his chances to win the
game.
Reward Challenge
In
this challenge, the contestants will only be using their
feet. They must untie a rope, which releases a set of blocks
that they must put in a multi-level circular arrangement
with a flag planted in the middle. (Seriously -- who invents
these challenges?) The winner will be taken an aerial tour
of the Sacred Island, and will dine on cheeseburgers, french
fries, and cold beer. Lauren and Dr. Mike have an early
lead, and Lauren wins the reward. She decides to take Devon,
Ben, and Ashley with her. Lauren states that the "round
table" alliance is about to implode.
The
giddy winners enjoy the sea plane trip, especially when they
fly over the beach and Joe moons them. The group talks
strategy and decides that they will target Ryan, Chrissy,
and J.P.  They want to get all their cards on the
table, and Devon shares that Ryan has an idol. (Can I just
say how much I miss the bro-mance between Devon and Ryan?)
Lauren tells the group about the secret advantage that gives
her an extra vote. Lauren wants Joe and Dr. Mike to stay
around a while longer, but Ben and Ashely are tired of Joe.
Ben finally agrees, and they solidify their new alliance
with a toast. 
They
get a welcome, and emotional, surprise when they discover
letters from home hidden underneath a pile of hamburger
buns. Lauren, who is a single mother, gets a letter from her
daughter, which reminds her that she wants to win so that
she can create a stable future for her
child. 
Back
at Solewa, Joe and Dr. Mike decide to antagonize the
starving members of the "round table" by dubbing
themselves the "coco nuts." Chrissy and Ryan start
to plan who they will be taking out after Dr. Mike and Joe,
and they have settled on Ben. This duo basks in the
certainty that the alliance of seven will hold. But will
it?
The
next morning, Ben talks about his love for his wife and two
children, and he credits her for saving his life. He notices
an "X" mark on a rock, and unearths a map of the
island with a clue to find the "clay pot immunity
idol." He relies on his training as a Marine to find
the idol, and he decides to keep it a secret from
everyone. 
Immunity Challenge
For
this challenge, players must balance on a triangular perch
above the water, and move their feet up on increasingly
narrow foot holds. Jeff has a tempting offer for the
contestants--they can skip the challenge and instead indulge
in peanut butter and chocolate. Ben, Lauren, and Devon
decide to enjoy the food and give up a shot at immunity.
This challenge looks incredibly difficult with the movement
of the waves. The first tribe member that falls is J.P. In
the end, Ashley claims immunity.
The
new "alliance of four" talks to Ryan and Chrissy
about voting out Joe or Dr. Mike. Devon notices how
confident and drunk with power Chrissy and Ryan have become,
and he is eager to put an end to it. He comes up with a plan
for Ben to vote for Mike, so that Chrissy, Ryan and J.P.
will thinks that Ben is still with them, and Joe and Dr.
Mike won't know that Ben is part of the "alliance
of four." Ben agrees and settles in to his new role as
a double agent. 
Tribal Council
Chrissy
complains about the "coco nuts," and Ryan touts
the strength of the "round table." The last two
Healers continue to act as if they are on the bottom. Dr.
Mike gets three votes, but J.P. is the tenth person voted
out. Chrissy, Ryan, and Ben are stunned. Ben is a convincing
actor, and should win an award for his performance during
the fiery tribal council. This must be the best blindside of
the season so far. 
Once
the shock has worn off, Chrissy demands to know what
happened. She is even more upset when the "alliance of
four" refuses to answer any questions about when the
vote plan was changed. Ryan hides his fury and tries to act
gracious to the powerful new group. Joe also acts as if
blindsiding J.P. was his idea, which angers super-secret
agent Ben. 
Ryan
is blown away that Devon, who has been in alliance with him
with since the very beginning, kept him in the dark about
going after J.P. Ryan is unfamiliar with the sensation of
being an outsider on the tribe, and he doesn't like it.
Meanwhile, Devon is basking in the glowof
being a secretly intelligent and powerful player under that
easy-going surfer exterior. 
Reward Challenge
Two
teams of four players must swim to a boat, then paddle to
shore while grabbing three bags of logs. The players will
use the logs to shove puzzle pieces through a tunnel.
Players must then complete the puzzle, and they are playing
for an awesome reward -- a spa day! The winners will get a
shower, a massage, and a lunch of veggie wraps, chicken,
fruit, and key lime and pecan pie. The Red Team consists of
Chrissy, Dr. Mike, Lauren, and Ryan. Devon, Ashley, Joe, and
Ben make up the Blue Team. Gathering up the puzzle bags is
difficult because they are quite heavy. Chrissy and Dr. Mike
work on the puzzle for the Red Team, while Ashley and Ben
represent for the Blue Team. The Blue Team finally claims
victory, and the relaxing spa day. 
Ben
jokes around about being "King Arthur," and the
leader of the "round table." I must give Ben
credit for continuing to pull of an amazing performance.
Poor Joe finally thinks that he is out of danger, but little
does he know that he is being played by Ben.

Back
at Solewa, Ryan scrambles to win Dr. Mike over to his side.
The good doctor believes that he is now part of a winning
alliance, and reminds Ryan that Ryan was never interested in
working with him. Chrissy approaches Lauren about strategy,
but Lauren stays mum. My, how the mighty have
fallen!
Immunity Challenge
It is
a rainy and cold day at Solewa, and the weather matches
everyone's mood. Chrissy is hungry, tired, and
desperate, but she is not giving up. 
This
challenge involves using a driving wheel to push a key on a
clay pot through a set of obstacles such as a balance beam
and see-saw. The contestants will use the key to unlock
puzzle pieces to solve a crazy word puzzle. Ben and Devon
have an early lead getting the puzzle pieces. This puzzle
stymies most of the contestants. Chrissy snags immunity by
spelling out "invulnerable." She explains to Jeff
that she has waited sixteen years for this moment, and she
cannot contain her joy. 
The
"alliance of four" decides to vote out Joe, and
concoct an elaborate cover story to split the votes between
Ryan and Ben. They also tell the two Healers that Lauren is
going to use her extra vote at that night's tribal
council. I honestly do not know how they can keep all these
stories and plans straight. Of course, Lauren has no
intention of using her vote. Chrissy and Ryan tell Ben to
vote for Devon or Ashley. Ben encourages Ryan to play his
idol.
Ashley
and Lauren discuss how powerful Ben is in the game, and how
dangerous it would be to take him to the final three. Ashley
pitches their idea of voting out Ben to a shocked Devon, who
is on the fence about voting out either Joe or
Ben. 
Tribal Council
Joe
remarks that the best way to test an alliance is at tribal
council. Ben states that he believes that he, Ryan, and
Chrissy are on the bottom of the tribe. Dr. Mike and Joe
think that Ben mismanaged the "round table" and
that the alliance that they are now in is
strong. Everyone
votes, and Ryan plays his immunity idol. Ashley gets two
votes, but in the end, Joe is voted out of Survivor:
Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers.

that Joe was really a big threat?Let us know your thoughts
