"Walking on Thin Ice"

Russell H. says this to Liz after she supposedly accuses him of lying. This is never a good thing to get into a confrontation with Russell. She's walking on thin ice but would the boot be that obvious?

Reward Challenge - Galu Wins

Gross food challenge makes a return to Survivor. It looks like each tribe will faceoff and spin a huge wheel that will decide what item will be blended and then consumed. Judging from the two press release shots of Ashley and Natalie struggling, it's probably safe to say that Galu has this one in the bag. Together with the fact that Shambo is walking in with Foa Foa to the immunity challenge, and we have our reward winner for the week, Galu.

Immunity Challenge - Foa Foa Wins 

It looks like each tribe assigns two members to hold onto a rope that is attached to a net that the opposing tribe can throw objects into. The tribe that is able to hold onto their net the longest will win immunity. For Foa Foa, we have Russell H. and Liz holding on and Russell S. and Laura are carrying their tribe's weight. We aren't sure if the opposing tribe has a fixed amount of time to throw the objects into or if they get a certain amount of tosses after some time has passed. Either way, we see images of Liz struggling as well as Russell H. so it appears Foa Foa's winning streak is definitely short lived.

Boot Prediction - Ashley, longshot - Liz?

Liz - up until this point, we haven't considered her a boot prediction (despite talks that she was an early boot because of her bitter post Survivor interview). Anyhow, her argument with Russell H. seems to be disastrous, but why would the tribe agree to vote off the "strongest" woman left on the tribe (they must have that perception of her to put her in that position during the challenge).

Ashley - just continuing on the above statement, the tribe's last default boot was Ashley (when Ben was voted out) and judging from her notable absence in last week's show, it doesn't seem like she has improved her position in the game. She was originally on Russell's hit list before this Liz fiasco occurred and Mick voted for her at their first Tribal Council probably because he saw her as the weakest. I can see Liz having better connections with the guys vs. Ashley.
