Sally
Spared, Rock Garden Debacle
After
being spared at the previous Tribal Council, Sally is ecstatic
to still be on the La Mina tribe. Citing she would still be an
asset to the tribe, she is out to prove her worth to the tribe.
Whether the alliance of four made the right decision is still to
be determined.
Over at Casaya,
Aras, Courtney and Shane struggle to keep the fire going. In the
corner of Aras' eyes, he notices that Bruce is constructing a rock
garden of sorts. A confrontation ensues after Aras addresses how
Bruce's priorities are not in the best interest of the tribe. Bruce
snaps back and accuses Aras of making a childish comment. Aras has
had enough with his tribe and desires to be sent to Exile Island.

Reward
Challenge: For Cod's Sake
The reward
challenge is an assembly line that requires the tribe to toss bags
of rice, beans and cod down a line of five tribe members. The tribes
can switch positions in during the challenge. The first person must
rush to the boat in the ocean carrying the several items that need
to be tossed. Once returning to shore, the Survivor must wait until
the item goes down the assembly line. Once that is completely, they
can
head back for more. If a fish is sent
down the line, the final person must chop off its head and tail
before continuing. First tribe to transfer 8 items wins reward and
the right to send someone to Exile Island.
The stakes:
all of the items used in the reward challenge will be given to the
winning tribe. The losing tribe will only get to choose from rice or
beans.
Both tribes
start off fairly even but it is Bruce that loses momentum for Casaya
after he has a difficult time chopping off the fishes' heads. Bruce
switches out with Bobby who is able to lob off the head and tail
with one stroke. Meanwhile, La Mina has a good pace at the challenge
but a transfer of fish between Dan and Sally causes the tribe to
fall behind. Eventually, Casaya seals in their fourth consecutive
victory.
Out of
respect, Casaya sends Terry back to Exile Island.
Enjoying Reward
and in Exile
A
huge downpour floods the Casaya camp, making it difficult to get
any fire going. The tribe resorts to eating the fish raw. Cirie,
skeptical about eating raw fish, decides to anyways but hopes
nothing will happen to those eating the fish. Meanwhile, La Mina
is excited to receive some sort of nourishment - but it comes at
a cost. Nick and Austin's body do not handle the beans well and
as a result, they are constantly driven to use the restroom.
Both are feeling out of their element and the food that was
supposed to strengthen them did the averse effect.
Back at Casaya,
Bruce seeks shelter in the outhouse where Bobby joins him. The two
enjoy the wine the tribe won from the challenge. Bobby is not
thrilled with not being given a spot in the shelter so drinking the
wine selfishly seems to be a proper repayment. The two men bond in
the shelter and promise never to vote each other out. Bobby says he
will jump ship the chance he gets.
Not much from
Exile Island since Terry has already found the idol. He only
expresses concern that his tribemates are able to endure camp life
without him.
Immunity
Challenge: Buried at Sea
Three tribe
members must row out to the ocean and retrieve four skulls attached
to four coffins. After collecting all of the pieces, the two other
Survivors must assembly the skulls in the correct position in order
to win immunity.
It is Terry,
Dan and Nick's swiftness that gets them far ahead of Aras, Danielle
and Courtney. While both tribes eventually make it back to the mat
to assemble their puzzle, Sally and Austin are able to get the
puzzle together, securing 3 more days on the island for the La Mina
tribe.
Tribal
Council: Dysfunctional Functional Family
Back at
camp, the plotting begins and it is really up in the air since
almost everyone's name is thrown out there. Shane comes back and
urges that Bobby be voted out for threat of him jumping ship at
a merge situation. The idea is quickly shot down after Aras
claims that Bruce cannot be trusted and that the alliance of
four would not have a hold over him if they needed his vote.
Shane backs off his idea and goes along with the fact that Bruce
is going. He tells Bobby that his name was considered but now it
has turned to Bruce
leaving
at Tribal Council. He does swear on his son that he would not
vote for Bobby. As more time passes,
Danielle
suddenly thinks ousting Bruce would not be the wrong idea. She
claims Bobby is a bigger threat to the tribe and rallies the
women and goes to Shane and tells him of her plan. Shane is
confused after his idea was shot down, the attention went to
Bruce, and now it is Bobby again. The tribe, in disarray, head
into Tribal Council, with no real idea as to who would be
leaving.
Bruce and
Bobby explain the wine situation and Bruce makes a diplomatic move
by 'apologizing' to everyone in the tribe. Still, the two men
receive the most votes at Tribal Council. Shane votes for Aras to
throw his vote away and to uphold his promise to Bobby. Aras and
Bobby band together to try and vote out Bruce. Bruce votes out
Courtney to make her nervous about her position in the tribe. But it
is the women's three votes that has the attorney from LA get the
boot, the first male boot of the season. |
