Who knew that Abi would be the highest-scoring castaway this week? She was in the group that won reward, she spoke first and voted first at tribal council, her vote was shown, and she saved herself with her immunity idol. The only way she could have earned more points was if she had won individual immunity (like that would ever happen!).

Three pool tribes included Abi—JLuv’s Jokers, Buffalo Pops, and Droppa Mapantz. Each of them moved up the leaderboard as a result.

Droppa Mapantz took the number one spot on the leaderboard, displacing The Hip-sters with a 15 point lead. The Hip-sters are now in second, with Ferocious Feline still in third. Buffalo Thunder remains in fourth but sees the gap between first and fourth ever-widening. A few weeks ago, a run for first place seemed like a possibility to but at this point, they’ll be lucky to make it to second or third. JLuv’s Jokers are in fifth place and with a full tribe left, their future looks very bright, as long as Abi doesn’t get voted off in the next few episodes. Tonkawa is in sixth place, Hog Waller in seventh, and Barking Bitches in eighth. It’s hard to believe that early in the pool, Buffalo Pops was hanging out at the bottom of the leaderboard but they’ve been steadily rising and now stand at ninth place. Penner’s Three Musketeers, sadly, have had the opposite experience. They started off relatively high and were climbing but the early loss of Dana and Dawson put them in quicksand and they’ve been sinking ever since. Currently they’re in tenth place, with all their hopes resting on Penner, Denise, and Malcolm. Tigreng Warriors are in eleventh. Pating, the toothless shark, is in twelfth. They’re in the same boat with Penner’s Three Musketeers, having the same three castaways left on their pool tribe. Fortunately for them, they’re having an amazing race elsewhere in the forum world. Monkey Madness is in thirteenth place, ScOoToPhObIa is in fourteenth, and the Heartbreakers haven’t budged from last place.

JLuv’s Jokers and Droppa Mapantz have the highest weekly score! Their reward is a spa day, with the castaways on the show giving them a day of pampering. Carter will be giving them a pedicure (or is it a manicure?), Abi will be cooking snacks, Malcolm will serve their food to them, Denise will lead them in yoga exercises for relaxation, Lisa will use candles to give them an aromatherapy treatment, Skupin and Pete will be collecting rocks and water for a steam bath, and Penner will give them a pep talk to spur them on and help them keep their momentum going! Buffalo Pops gets to join in the reward because of her high score.

The Heartbreakers still have the lowest score so they get a consolation prize of a box of cookies. They might not win the pool but they can at least enjoy the experience while it lasts.

I figured it took you so long to post this because you broke your calculator totaling all my points. Alas, that wasn't the case as I am stuck midpack. AGAIN!

[JLuvs]

Woohoo! I am loving being waited on by Malcolm, even if my food might be undercooked by Abi.

[Florimel]

Thank you for the great reward, Pikachu. My only suggestion for making it better would be to bring along a taster for food prepared by Abi. I think it might need to be tested for snake venom. Just in case.

The Abi Trio (JLuv’s Jokers, Droppa Mapantz, and Buffalo Pops) continued their climb up the leaderboard, as their girl brought in the most points. On the other side of the island, Penner’s followers held a solemn vigil for their crafty, colorful, fallen tribal elder.

Droppa Mapantz held their spot on the throne in first place. The Hip-sters remain in second place but the gap between them and JLuv’s Jokers narrowed, as the Jokers moved up to third place. Ferocious Feline got separated from her top three alliance, placing in fourth. Buffalo Thunder slid down to fifth place. Tonkawa maintained their position in sixth. Buffalo Pops moved up to seventh place. As a reminder, in the second week of the pool, they were in next to last place. Their progress since then has been spectacular! Hog Waller shuffled down to eighth place. Barking Bitches are right behind them in ninth. Penner’s Three Musketeers held their place in tenth this week but with their tribal leader gone, their future is not looking very bright. Tigreng Warriors are in eleventh place but their prospects for moving up are good. They still have their tribal leader (Denise), plus Lisa and Malcolm so they have an opportunity to advance next week, as long as all of their tribe remains safe. Pating is in twelfth place. Monkey Madness remains in thirteenth. “Dorkapotamus Disser” ScOoToPhObIa is in fourteenth and The Heartbreakers are still weeping in their pillow in last place.

JLuv’s Jokers got the highest weekly score, with 98 points. Their reward is veal shanks to share with the other pool tribes. The Heartbreakers got the lowest weekly score. They won a loaded baked “patayta” (as Probst pronounced it) but traded it in for rice and beans for everyone! I hope someone used their auction money to buy some Beano.

10th place??

Denisica and Malcimus will avenge the fallen Penner.

[veejer]

Thanks, pikachu!!!

Once Abi won immunity, Pating was doomed, having both Penner and Denise as two of their three members.
