The Sucker At The Table

The Sucker At The Table is the 3rd episode of the 1st season of HBS Survivor.

Plot synopsis
At the La'au Pama tribe, Scott demanded to know who else voted for Tanadin, as he thought the tribe had a "solid four." No one admitted to it, so Scott talked to Clash, his best ally. Clash said he thought it was Nico, because Nico remained the swing vote at that Tribal Council. When Scott talked to Tanadin about it, Tanadin said that Scott "shouldn't worry" about it and that the answer would be revealed "in due time." Tanadin said she thought it was Clash. Although she was correct, Scott became enraged that Tanadin thought his best ally would vote against him. Tanadin became angry at Scott for his reaction, and the alliance broke up. Scott talked to Clash again and realized that it was him. Tanadin wouldn't take his apology, making Scott even more angry at Tanadin. Nico went looking for the Hidden Immunity Idol.

At the Niu tribe, Fan found a Hidden Immunity Idol and told Helmack. Ackrel and Jimmy saw the Idol in Fan's pocket, and told Jimmy that the three of them should vote Fan come a challenge loss.

At the combined Reward/Immunity Challenge, One cruised to their 5th straight victory, while La'au Pama held their lead despite a massive comeback attempt from Niu to win second place.

Jinx, fearing for her safety, went looking for the Hidden Immunity Idol again, and found it while looking through Fan's bag. Jinx told Helmack about the idol, pretending to know nothing, and said that voting out Fan was "something to consider." Jinx told Fan that she saw she had a Hidden Immunity Idol and that she had pulled in Ackrel to a new alliance of Ackrel and Jinx. Ackrel, when questioned by Fan, told her that Jinx was lying. In the end, Fan sided with Jinx. In confessionals, Ackrel said that Jinx was secretly "the sucker at the table."

At Tribal Council, Jinx told Gali and Jimmy about Fan's idol, and said that Jinx's new alliance would vote Helmack out of the game. Fan did not play her idol, and voted with Jinx against Helmack, but Jinx's plan backfired and she became the third person voted out of HBS Survivor: The First Season in a 4-2 vote.

Final Words
"I came out of the gate too... uh... out there, I guess. I was really strategizing, especially after they found me looking for the damn Idol. I'm happy I made a friend out here, but I'm gone on Day 8, which really sucks. All I can do now is hope for the best for Fan in the near future, and I hope to see Ackrel at Ponderosa with me really soon." -Jinx
