Last night's Survivor: Tocantins kicks off with Sierra finally searching for the hidden immunity idol that's been sitting around camp since day one. With the help of Brendan, she digs a massive hole on the beach. She finds herself busted by Debra, but Sierra's lying skills are in full effect and she comes up with a story about digging a bon fire hole. Sadly, poor Debra is fooled. Really? Since when was a bonfire hole three-feet deep?
There is only one challenge this time around and up for grabs are both the reward and immunity. The teams competed in a watery, netball-like game. The Timbira tribe starts strong with a 2-0 lead, but ultimately loses the game 3-2 to Jalapao.
This is our first introduction to Exile Island, which has a twist this season. Brenden is chosen to go to exile island and has to pick a person from the winning to join him. He chooses Taj and makes a solid alliance with her. Back at camp, the votes are between Sierra and Candace. In the end, the team blind sides Candace, making her the second person voted out.
In awesome, related news, the obnoxious coach from Timbira tribe, Ben Wade, is reportedly fired from his job as a Women's Soccer coach at Southwest Baptist University. His failure to give the University proper notice gets him in trouble. Instead of saying that he was on the cast of Survivor, he requests a weeklong vacation. When Wade fails to return after a couple of weeks, SBU cans him. Wade takes the news in stride and has told News-Leader.com that he will be pursuing his acting career now.
"I'm going to be the next big thing on the big screen," Wade told News-Leader.com in a phone interview.
We were in stitches over Wade’s delusion. We didn't know there was such a demand for another Steven Seagal.
