If you missed it we have a full and detailed recap, right here for you.

Abi asks should she go tell her personal stories. We were all hoping that she would have a chance to shine with her second chance. However, even if Terry is safe on most of the games, a few spoilers are saying that he quited the show in the upcoming episode of “Survivor”, which is entitled “Bunking With the Devil”. If Monica was being voted out, wouldn’t they have let Spencer and Wigglesworth in on the vote? Bayon finished in last place and was headed to Tribal Council. She says if they go after Monica, they can tell Spencer to go with them. This kept their plot a complete secret resulting in a jaw-dropping blindside that sent Monica, speechless, on her way out of the game.
Over at Bayon, Kimmi and Monica go at it while gathering clams in the ocean.
Monica sucks at the challenge, and Probst happily lets her know, thinking she’s moving along …
Tom Santilli, Survivor Examiner: I’m doing great! Sorry to see you go. “I don’t want to give much away”. Was there more to it than that?
Reality TV World: You were obviously blindsided. Just to base it off of that one conversation just seems silly to me. Also because me and Kimmi were very close from the onset. I watched all of these people play! At the top, they have to launch sandbags at targets.
– I love that deer in the headlights look a player gets when they see their name pop up unexpectedly. I think I was just destined to fail.
Tom Santilli: Well when you get blindsided, it’s hard to know the exact reasons why. Additionally, refreshments were waiting for them back at camp. Kimmi believes that is naive and that their small tribe could never deplete the whole body of water of clams. She thinks Monica is a loose cannon flipper. And so, I was sticking up for Kimmi. I had a hard time having fun with it; I was so down to business. Keith and Woo tie with one then Jeremy gets one to tie it up. I want to get sushi, well I want to get steak. Well steak is more protein. He talks about what she went through and how she got a second chance. That’s sort of the argument that I’d compare the clams to. I can make my own decisions, thank you! But had she been open to it and would have responded favorably, what would your plan had been? The boys were really set on keeping him and I didn’t want to cause any drama. Joe, Kelley, Keith, Ciera and Kass form an alliance. “That was NOT your best move”. I had no inclination that they would turn against me. Like, had that happened, would you have been the next target anyways? Did you think everyone was voting for Wiglesworth? . You don’t see any of it, and that sucks.
Probst questions them whether this vote could actually be a good thing. And the fact that Kimmi was annoyed by me, it’s (laughs) like, “Really?!” Lastly, at tribal council, everyone talked game for a bit before casting their votes.
Monica: Oh for sure. I don’t know where that came from! I just loved him so much. But it’s not like I walked on that beach to see the view, I was definitely forming alliances and playing the game. What did I say? Maybe they were trying to throw that challenge to get rid of me, but that challenge … wow. Woo and Kelley get their third bags and Monica is still much slower. If it’s clear that they don’t like you and don’t want to work with you, which Kimmi was being very clear about, then maybe don’t bring it up! That’s all I know, I only know what people tell me. Tasha says she’s playing to the end. But that didn’t last very long (laughs). Kimmi and Stephen, however, I thought, you know, “Here’s a cool Final 3”. Do you think you were in a better spot before it?
What was Monica’s relationship like with Kimmi at old Bayon? Like, ‘Do they like me?
One thing I was curious about from before the game is that in past [returning player] seasons, people who have won like Amber and Parvati have been these young, smart women who did not necessarily get a ton of screen time their first time. I feel a bit betrayed by that, but it’s just life.
Tom Santilli: Take me back to the Live Reunion Show and getting selected to be on this season. Keith, who has only been in an alliance with himself, is thrilled.
At Bayon, Spencer is still working his social game. I know it was forever ago, but I swear she was a vegetarian, and pretty obnoxious about it. I didn’t realize that it would work so badly against me, but going into it I was excited! I pre-gamed with Mkayla. Like Peih-Gee, who I absolute adore and who is a great strategic player. “Maybe I should have been a little more delicate about it”. Her new Bayon tribe ousted her via a 3-2-1 vote instead of Spencer Bledsoe and Kelly Wiglesworth at their first Tribal Council session on Night 13 of the game. Like seriously, she’s capable of going bat-shit insane on the guy. They’re in to play. Wigglesworth says she thinks it’s her or Spencer tonight. When you come in and you’re put on a game called Survivor, you’re like, OK, I’m going to just try to survive. Nowadays, people have been watching this show for 15 years. Going into the game I thought Spencer was a huge threat, just as going into the game people thought Abi was insane. Wigglesworth says she thinks it’s her or Spencer tonight. Jeremy says that’s old school; new school is more erratic. Keith! I thought Keith was so awesome. I’ll play by your stupid rules!
Second Chance’s Bayon tribe snuffed Monica Padilla’s torch during Season 31’s fifth episode Wednesday night on CBS.

It’s weird. The first time I played I was nervous! Spencer voted for Wigglesworth. No clue. Uh-uh. I was still looking for the idol at that point. So I tried to adapt in that way. But soon it’s time to talk strategy.
