Debbie Wanner beefed with Brad Culpepper, J.T. Thomas faced off against the rest of his tribe; Survivor Game Changers episode 5 got Survivor players tweeting.
Good lord didSurvivor Game Changersever step it up in episode 5. With the brutal twist that sent Malcolm Freberg packing last time, it started a slow march towards an inevitable crash and burn.The drama was so palpablethat formerSurvivorplayers couldn’t help themselves but share their brutally hot takes. We’re calling this the “Malcolm throws shade for 60 minutes special.”
The fallout for J.T. Thomas came swift, but retribution came even quicker. Within minutes, J.T. was on the beach searching for an idol, found a clue, then went straight to where the idol was, dug it up, and put himself in a position of stealthy power. There’s no way he could mess that up, right?
Awwww, all the angry people back at camp warm my heart#Survivor

The reward challenge this week included a lot of ball balancing, walking on narrow surfaces, and solving a slide puzzle. Debbie and Brad’s blowup starts here, but not before people relish in the opportunity to with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, milk and cookies.
MILK!!!!#SurvivorGameChangers

(Side note; the editors including a flashback immediately after Debbie contradicts herself places the show in an entirely new realm. It’s a bit suspicious.)

Back at Tavua, while everyone’s eating sandwiches and gaining strength, Sarah Lucina finally does something as she feels out Troyzan Robertson for a possible alliance. Not knowing he has an idol makes this a welcoming sight for Troyzan.
Oh there's Sarah. I forgot she was on the show#survivor#survivor500

Yes Sarah! Get after it!#survivor

Going intoSurvivor Game ChangersEpisode 5, “Dirty Deed,” the Debbie Wanner blowup was hyped to all hell, and boy, did she not disappoint. She got everyone freaked right the hell out!

Back at Nuku, J.T. Thomas suddenly finds Michaela Bradshaw annoying because she wants a bit of coffee and more sugar. Honestly, it’s just J.T. trying to get Michaela out, and Sandra Diaz-Twine decides to stir the pot by stealing the rest of the sugar to throw heat between the two.

J.T. and Michaela got in it, but very passive aggressively. Honestly, J.T. was a bit brash and condescending in his manner.

Tai Trang, knowing that another idol is back in the game, goes and finds a clue to the next one. This will require hidden messages placed in water, but it’s clear that he’s got a nose for clues.
DAMN TAI!!!! He's going to find enough idols for himself AND all his chicken friends#SurvivorGameChangerspic.twitter.com/CxwrAhxExB

This leads us to the immunity challenge, where two tribes will, thankfully, escape tribal council. Debbie is still pissed at Brad Culpepper for taking control of the group, and she makes it clear that when he picks Hali to do the balance portion (a section Debbie utterly failed at last time), she’s still angry. Despite Mana winning alongside Tavua, Debbie cannot quit blasting off her tribe.
@survivorcbsDebbie has lost every marble in the bag#wtf

Back at camp, J.T. curried favor with his tribe by targeting Michaela. Instead of everyone voting her out, Sandra went to Jeff Varner and Michaela to blindside him, with the possibility that he has an idol fresh in their minds.
Please don't let it be Michaela... or JT or Sandra or Varner or.... ahhhhhh#Survivor
— Will Wahl (@window2wahl)March 30, 2017
I hope Michaela doesn't go home over some damn sugar 😒

At tribal council,Survivor Game Changersturned intoSurvivor Sugargate, as Michaela and J.T. came to a head over sugar. J.T. treated Michaela like she needed to be babysat, and surprisingly, Aubry Bracco was on board with the vote. I don’t understand why we haven’t seen much of Aubry’s perspective this season, but she clearly was left out on this vote.
Nothing worse than being blamed for something you DID NOT DO@TheMichaelaB. Smoke & Mirrors#SurvivorGameChangers
— Sunday Burquest (@sundaysurvivor)March 30, 2017
Omg if Varner flips Sandra will lose it.
— Alexis Maxwell (@alexis_maxwell)March 30, 2017
Finally, the votes are in, and J.T. has the opportunity to play an idol. You know, the one he desperately needed two nights ago. Because he was the 4-1 minority on the tribe. Does he play it?
Hubris, take the wheel!

As the votes begin, Michaela pulls out an all-timeSurvivormoment by pouring some water into a cup and sipping it like she’s sipping tea.
The tea lizard fanatics were not going to let that moment go!
