Survivor Gabon - An Ace in the hole

An Ace in the hole in poker is usually a good thing. In Survivor if your name is Ace and you get in a hole with the numbers, meaning more people align against you, it could be a bad thing. But then again, if your Ace in the hole is your own partner in a two person alliance, because she has the hidden immunity idol and only you know it, it plays more like poker.

Ace is arrogant and Sugar is smarter than she looks. Can they dodge the bullet from the other tribe as well as the alliance in their own tribe that is against them?

Beginning with Night 6. 32 days to go.

Fang is the tribe eating three meals a day. Some pointed discussion between Randy and GC, will it come back to haunt them?

Marcus, Corrine Charlie and Jacquie in an alliance in Kota
Sugar and Ace are "connecting", and it's clear Ace plans to go to the end, taking Sugar with him. Both of these two talked about being flirts, now they flirt with each other as they align.

Reward challenge. blankets, hammock, pillows, mats.
Ace hanging on against GC and Matty, Kota scores because GC gives up.
Kota leads 1-0
Second round goes to Fang
Ace and Dan on the pole again, attackers different and this is for the win, for reward and for the psychological boost Fang desperately needs. It's close but Crystal is a warrior, fighting hard and finally... Fang wins reward! and they send Sugar to exile. (hah! I saw that one coming!)
Ace is calling the loss a "strategic withdrawal". Paloma is getting dissed by the group, while she hides out in a hut and is obviously at risk if they go to TC.
Sugar gets to the sandy crater, then up a tree, then to another clue then she goes across a creek and voila she finds the hidden immunity idol! Good Job! I have new respect for her!

Day 9 Bob says to Ace, two on the bottom are Paloma and Sugar and I know you like Sugar.

the alliance of 4, bring Bob into their group so they have the numbers against Ace and Sugar.

Immunity Challenge - the slippery slide. get tiles, work out a number puzzle, raise your flag.
Kota sits out Paloma and Sugar. (their two "lowest"?)
Crystal showing she can run, Fang pulls ahead. lead changes to Kota. Bob the physicst solving the puzzle vs the video game expert Ken. and Ken wins it Fang wins immunity!

Sugar talks about the clues but says she got them wrong. Alone in the canoe she admits to Ace she's got the idol. He figures they will dominate the game. He's preparing for the "dismissal" of Paloma. She in turn goes to Corrine to work against Ace. Corrine goes to Charlie. Ace has more enemies than he knows and it's a numbers game right now. Jeff asks Sugar about exile island, she talks about her dad a bit, not about the idol. Ace is called out as a big shot, being condescending and Paloma notes he didn't bring his bag with him (arrogant). Marcus hangs on to his immunity idol (from the first challenge?) so he's safe, everyone else is not. Sugar has a hidden immunity idol no one knows about except Ace. She does not use it before the votes are read. Paloma 5 Ace 2 (or more) that's enough, she is gone. Ace is smug. Fang has momentum.
Scenes from the next episode - The division in the Fang tribe will cause them problems as they "rank" their own tribe members.
