Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 27 Episode 9 "My Brother's Keeper"

Tom's Take:


A by the numbers episode, but thankfully the producers combined both eliminations into one episode. And it was a fun one. The alliance stayed strong although it also showed cracks, and it is clear that Monica Culpepper is not a very good player.

1. Hayden: (91 points)

Hayden is in a great position, and seems to have a bunch of power within the tribe. The next crucial battle coming around the corner is Hayden versus Tyson, although the show hasn't really constructed it that way yet.

2. Ciera: (78 points)

Ciera's was invisible this episode, as the show decided instead to focus on the dying gasps of Vytas and Tina.

4. Tyson: (175 points)

Tyson continues to rule over the game, and this week he had some fun time pretending he didn't have the idol and instead running around following Tina. I really like Tyson, but he's got some interesting hurdles facing him in the episodes to come.

5. Gervase (114 points)

Gervase was once again foiled by a grub. On the other front, Gervase seemed the most pissed off at Monica, which makes me think she's not part of the Coconut Bandits sub alliance. So what's their plan once they hit the final seven? I'm still high on Tyson, but not sure whether Gervase will be with him at the end.

6. Tina: (101 points)

Tina provided a lot of entertainment tonight, and was ultimately only voted out because Katie won immunity. I think she'll be out next week after losing Redemption Island.

7. Monica (106 points)

Monica is apparently in a terrible spot, and she's not helping herself. This was not a good episode for Monica, even though she won an immunity challenge. She was first overly paranoid, then threw off the vote split plan, and now she is at the bottom of her alliance. She needs to work to change things around for herself.

9. Katie: (37 points)

Katie won an immunity challenge. And she's the last member of the couple's alliance. Could she still have life in the game, or will she be the next predictable elimination?

10. Laura M. (73 points)

Not much from Laura this week, although she continues to be overly insistent on splitting votes. Russel Hantz really scarred her.

Aras and Vytas are entertainment gold. Redemption Island has never been this fun.
