The ‘four horsemen’ – Edgardo, Alex, Mookie and Dreamz – have been split up. It only took them a week, right? It’s not like they were ever really that tight anyway. Last week, Dreamz was hut ‘cuz they didn’t tell him Mookie had the immunity idol right away. Then, Edgardo and Alex got ticked that Mookie told Dreamz at all since they planned to double-deal and use the idol as leverage once The Merge happened.
Well, The Merge did indeed happen, but the idiot horsemen (including Alex who went to Harvard-fricking-Law-School) flaunted their alliance to a point and upset the other tribe. They acted like hotshots and jerks and well, it blew up in their faces big-time.
Yippee! Last night’s elimination was so awesome, I’m still savoring it.
Dreamz spilled the beans about the Idol to the other side, not realizing that Earl and Yau-Man also have an Idol. Anyway, Yau-Man wins immunity and Stacy, who was supposed to be with Alex and Edgardo, switches teams (if she ever really was with them in the first place) and helps Yau-Man, Earl and the rest come up with a killer strategy.
They’re all deciding to snuff out the Idol. They know the other side has it. They learn that Mookie is considering giving the Idol to Alex to keep him safe. Earl and company want to get rid of the Mook-man. However, Stacy speaks up and is all like, ‘Wait. If Alex has the Idol and Mookie gave it to him, then they’re sort of expecting that, right? Besides, we’re not sure if Alex won’t give Mookie back the Idol or if Mookie even gave it to him in the first place. So, the best strategy would be to vote off Edgardo since they’ll never see what hit them.’
Ohhh! I love it. During tribal, the four horsemen are grinning like Cheshire cats. They think they’re so slick. Alex makes some comment about voting Earl’s cronies off since they know he has the Idol. (Actually, methinks Yau-Man does, but he also has Immunity so…he’s super-safe.) The four decide that Cassandra is the one to go. Well, three of them. Dreamz, who was Cassandra’s friend back in the old Moto days, actually alerted her to this fact and told them about the Idol to keep her safe.
Dreamz voted for Mookie. He thought that was Stacy, Yau-Man, Cassandra, Earl and Boo’s plan. Those folks did vote for Edgardo. Alex used the Idol and couldn’t save his biggest ally in the game.
Next week, things are bound to be more interesting as the Bula Bula tribe deals with the fallout from this event. I can’t wait!
