Survivor Winners at War Ep 7 Recap

In this episode, Wendell attempts to kill my best friend and I will NOT stop until he’s gone /j

But before that, we go see the Edge Gang, and ngl I really laughed when Parv was like “Getting voted out before the merge, that’s so lame! I’ve never done that before!” like KDFHGDFKH we STAN.

And then Sandra arrives, and she tells everyone that she basically screwed herself by giving Denise her idol.

Rob was shaking his head and like, yeah, everyone watching it was feeling it as well, cause that was...such a bad move.

And then it just...gets really sad. I feel terrible for Sandra, but I think she herself accepted that she had made a bad move. She says she’s human and makes mistakes, and even though you WANT to play a completely strategic game it is true that at the end of the day you have emotions and feel for the other people, and her trying to help Denise might have ended with her being eliminated, but what can one do? It’s still...WILD, because I mean..giving someone your idol is batshit, but I feel for her.

And oh my god, and then she says she won’t stay on the Edge and here’s were my friend and I gasped out loud cause GOD THIS IS SO DEPRESSING. In a way...I understand. She’s the Sandra Bench woman, I think she knows she has a veeeery slim chance of getting back into the game, and of course the Edge is demanding, so yeah.

I mean, it kills me because I wanted everyone to be at Ponderosa, but I kinda agree with Peridiam from YT when he said that people that raise the flag on the Edge didn’t necessarily “quit”, as it’s built in the game itself.

Still, a very bittersweet ending to the Queen’s Survivor career. You’re still an icon, Sandra.

God, I haven’t recovered yet :(

Now it’s time to go back to Sele, and GOD I CAN’T STAND WENDELL ANYMORE I SWEAR I WANT HIM GONE. So Yul is very rightfully wary of him since he basically offered Parvati a deal during tribal, and then we get Michele and Wendel talking it out, and Michele trying to tell him that maybe it’s not cool to create that much chaos, cause it could backfire...

AND THEN WENDELL IS LIKE “Thank you for schooling me”? ARE YOU KIDDING ME, DUDE?

THIS IS NOW A MICHELE STAN ZONE, I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS. She’s not acting superior or anything, she’s literally saying it in the nicest way possible, GOD! 

And of course Yul, who was sitting nearby, was very much uncomfortable with that, which game me the hope that maybe a Wendell blindside was going to happen...Oh, cute, innocent, naive me.

Back on the Edge, we get a very heartfelt conversation between Ethan and Parvati, and god the pUNCHES JUST KEEP COMING. I can’t imagine how tough it must have been on Ethan, and to know he was constantly thinking about if this was good for him and if it would give the cancer opportunity to grow back and all and...oh my god, I just wanted to hug him.

Luckily Parv is super supportive and OH MY GOD I JUST LOVE HER SO MUCH, she’s so nice and I bet that was such a great help for him.

We stan this beautiful, supporting friendship!

But ok, now it’s definitely tome for another scavenger hunt! There are four tokens scatter around the place, and all of a sudden it’s a mad dash and everyone is running around trying to find them. Tyson stumbles upon one, and the episode makes us think that ooh where are the others? Did they ever find them?

But alas! Rob was absolutely bluffing and he had already found the other THREE! Of course he’s keeping it hidden cause that’s gonna make him a bigger target for...whatever happens next, but hell yeah dude!

We cannot help but stan (OMFG Rob coming back to the game? That would be ICONIC).

Back in the game, we get some snippets of how the other tribes are doing: We get Dakal shenanigans with...Tony running a race by himself and Jeremy saying he runs like an old man, which is hilarious, but also Kim, Denise and Jeremy kind of cementing their bond, which definitely puts Tony in trouble. 

Then in Yara we get WAIT IS BEN SINGING THE PEANUT BUTTER JELLY SONG!? Anyway, the boys get a bit paranoid about idols, especially Adam who’s like “I’m cONVINCED that between Ben and Sarah they have the idol” which...could not be more wrong, but aight dfkjdfhkj. Lots of searching, lots of spider senses tingling, and the most hilarious Sophie moments when Adam asks her if she has the idol.

I just could not play Survivor cause I would NOT be able to control my laughter as I say the most BOLD FACED LIE POSSIBLE.

(Also plEASE look at Sophie’s face when Adam’s going on about his spider senses telling him Sarah has the idol dsbjfdbfkjkdk).

She wants to break the fourth wall SO BAD sdfhsdkfj.

So then we go to the challenge, and it’s the one with the big ass dish of water they have to fill, then walk through an obstacle course to drop the water and lower some puzzle pieces. As Jeff nicely put it, the one where Nick absolutely fucking SUCKED (Poor guy, lmao).

So, what happens is...Yara wins pretty comfortably, good for them, love that. Then Dakal and Sele are super neck to neck, but Wendell somehow keeps BRAGGING? AND CALLING FOR JEFF? MF JUST FOCUS ON YOUR PUZZLE WTF!

(Also, there’s one part where he says “Jeff, watch this!” and then fucking SCREWS UP, and here we fucking started laughing and my best friend almost choked on the coke she was sipping, so WENDELL ALMOST KILLED MY BFF HE DESERVES TO GO /j)

But yeah, in the end Dakal gets it first, so Sele is going to tribal.

And here I’m so happy cause it seems like both Yul and Nick are kinda pissed with Wendell for talking trash during the challenge, and it seems that maybe a Wendell blindside is gonna happen...but NOTHING IS EASY, AIN’T IT!

Of course Michele and Wendel have a relationship (as badly as they ended, at least there’s some trust there that she doesn’t really have with Yul or Nick), so they do kinda wanna do something together. 

BUT THEN YUL OPENED HIS MOUTH AND DUG HIS OWN GRAVE. He was talking about how they could vote to make it look like Michele didn’t vote for Wendell so that he’d maybe give his tokens to her, and I think that’s when Nick and Michele realized Yul was playing 4D chess which is...dangerous.

So in the end...yeah, they vote out Yul. For Michele I think that’s totally reasonable, I mean having a deeper relationship is definitely valuable, and for Nick...I wouldn’t know, Yul was definitely a strong ally, but so was Wendell, and I think he’s very friendly with Michele now, so yeah, it was good.

Also, Michele saying this to Wendell, we stan.

So no Wendell blindside (it’s ok, I gotta have someone to root against, lmao), and next ep is the Merge! And by the look of the preview...oh it’s gonna go DOWN!
