Tonight's Episode So Far.




The tribes switched up in a schoolyard pick. I have come to the realization that Joel is such a jerk. During the reward challenge, he got pared with Chet and basically dragged him across the ground. After the challenge, Chet told Joel he hurt his head and Joel responded with "I don't care". What a total jerk.I hope he goes home ASAP. Tonight sounds like a good time to go. Its his fault Chet is still around. He begged to get Mikey B voted out last week.

Episode #4...The biggest blindside ever.

Wow... I was completely shocked by Survivor last night. Did Mikey B really just get voted out? I feel that Joel has decided he wanted to be the man in control of everything and felt that, even without Mary, Joel still thought Mikey B had to much control of the game. Joel has impressed me more than anyone this season, and more than anyone ever except for James last season. Unfortunately for him, he now has a HUGE target on his back, and I feel like someone in the Airai (fans) tribe will decide that he REALLY NEEDS TO GO, before the merge where he could win individual immunity.



Here is a review of last night's episode.

Episode 4: That's Baked, Barbecued and Fried!

At Airai, Chet's lack of work around camp irritated his tribe mates. At the Malakal campsite, Eliza was feeling sick and James criticized his alliance's decision to vote out Yau-Man instead of Eliza, whom he felt was the weakest member of the tribe. Malakal won the Reward Challenge after Ozzy's strategy of singlehandedly pushing his tribe's coconuts to the front of the steel cage made it easier for his tribe mates to retrieve their coconuts. Kathy was sent to Exile Island for the third consecutive time with Ozzy joining her. On Exile Island, a disheartened Kathy did not want to look for the Hidden Immunity Idol, so Ozzy followed the clues on his own under the pretense of looking for food. He succeeded in finding the Idol and kept his discovery a secret from Kathy. Borrowing Yau-Man's strategy from Survivor Fiji, Ozzy fashioned a false Idol and placed it where he found the real Idol. Eliza tried to keep herself in the game by talking to Parvati about voting out Jonathan, but Jonathan overheard them. At the Immunity Challenge, Airai struggled to unlock their hub and maneuver through the forest. Malakal won their second challenge in a row by a wide margin. Mikey B, feigning loyalty to Joel, lobbied to vote out Chet. Tracy approached Joel about a plan to use her alliance with Chet and Kathy to help vote out Mikey B. Tracy's plan came to fruition and Mikey B was voted out 6-3.

  • Reward Challenge: Four members of each tribe would swim out to a floating platform. One at a time, a castaway would dive down to a 30 foot long steel cage that contained coconuts painted in tribe colors and with letters on them. The coconuts would have to be placed in a floating bin and the bin pulled back to shore. The four remaining castaways would unscramble a word puzzle using the letters on the coconuts.
  • Reward: The winning tribe will win three hens and one rooster along with chicken feed.
  • Immunity Challenge: Six tribe members would race to six point, sliding hub and harness themselves in. The six would then pass around a keyring to find a key their individual lock that secured the hub to a stand. Once unlocked, the hub would have to be maneuvered through the forest where six puzzle piece necklaces were hanging on trees. The two remaining tribemates would use the necklaces as keys on a decoding wheel, which would decrypt a three word phrase.


Most impressive player from Episode 2:
#1 Ozzy- He single handedly won that reward challenge for his team by moving all the coconuts, plus he found the Hidden Immunity Idol. Great day for him.

and here is what has happened from episodes 1-3.


Episode 1: You Guys Are Dumber Than You Look

In a pouring rain, the ten fans arrived on the island unaware that they would be facing past castaways and were shocked when Jeff introduced the favorites. Jeff then pointed to a beach on an island across the way with two boats and told the tribes to swim across. Two individual Immunity Idols were there for the first castaway on each tribe to find them, with the stipulation that they were only good for the first time they went to Tribal Council. Jonny was the first to find the idols tied to the boat's prows, but Yau-Man noticed that Jonny took the other tribe's idol and raced over to the correct boat, tackling Jonny and grabbing the correct idol. Kathy got her tribe's idol after Yau-Man pointed it out to her. Two alliances were formed in the favorites tribe: one between Ami, Eliza, Jonathan, and Yau-Man and another consisting of the couples of James and Parvati and Ozzy and Amanda. Both groups courted Jonny and he played both sides. At the combined Reward and Immunity Challenge, the fans took the lead early and won. After the challenge, Jonny told the tribe that he missed his girlfriend and unborn daughter and that he really wasn't in the game. Feelings were split about whether he was being truthful or if the story was part of his strategy, but in the end he was unanimously voted out 9-1. After the vote, the tribe was given a flint, although Yau-Man had already started a fire using water and his glasses.

  • Reward/Immunity Challenge: The tribes are to assemble four puzzle wheels, attach them to a cart, and push the cart through a series of wooden fences. Upon reaching a sandpit with the cart, they then must dig up a set of planks to make a bridge. The tribes are to then push the cart over the bridge to a turnstile. The wheels are then removed and the pieces reassembled to complete the turnstile. The turnstile raised a fire wok on a pulley which lit the top of a platform.
  • Reward: The winning team will win Tribal Immunity and a flint.

Episode 2: The Sounds of Jungle Love

Airai struggled with making fire and building a shelter. Chet, Kathy, and Tracy, feeling shunned by the other seven members of the tribe and upset that the others weren't making an attempt to build a decent shelter, built their own and then another was built for the other tribe members. At Malakal, the couples of Amanda/Ozzy and Parvati/James grew closer, much to the concern of Cirie and Jonathan. At the combined Reward and Immunity Challenge, Malakal won by a wide margin after Chet struggled to retrieve his key. Before the challenge, Jeff announced Exile Island and said there would be a twist revealed after the challenge. After Malakal selected Kathy to go to Exile Island, Jeff revealed the twist: the winning team also had to select one of their own to go to Exile Island. Cirie volunteered to go. Kathy and Cirie discovered a series of four clues at Exile Island that required them to crisscross between two islands, but did not find the Hidden Immunity Idol. After Chet's poor performance at the challenge, Mikey B wanted him to be voted out. Mikey B came up with a plan to split his alliance of seven's votes between Chet and Tracy to protect against potential Immunity Idols. Joel didn't like how Mikey B was trying to control the vote, so he plotted with Erik, Alexis, Natalie, Chet, Tracy, and Kathy to break up Mikey B's alliance with Mary. Joel's plan came together, even though he changed his vote to Tracy at Tribal Council, and Mary was voted out 6-2-2.

  • Reward/Immunity Challenge: Five castaways are picked as swimmers who had to swim, one at a time, to a platform, grab an ax, and leap off the platform to smash a tile that released a key. The swimmer would then retrieve the key and swim back to shore with it, allowing the next tribemate to go out. Once the five keys were collected, another castaway will use the keys to open a locked box containing a set of puzzle pieces showing a map of Micronesia. Three other castaways put the puzzle together.
  • Reward: The winning team will win Tribal Immunity, fishing gear, and a bamboo fishing boat.

Episode 3: I Should Be Carried on the Chariot-Type Thing!

Mikey B confronted Joel about Joel's plan at the last Tribal Council. The strong alliance that consist of Amanda, Ozzy, Parvati, and James tried to swing Eliza over to their side, Knowing that she's a back stabber. Cirie contemplated her options on which alliance to trust and join, Could she trust Amanda's and Parvati's alliance with the guys or Johnathan and Eliza's?. At the Reward Challenge, the tribes, dressed in war paint, had a very physical battle in the rain with the reward of items chosen from a catalog. Malakal won the challenge, taking home a tarp, a lighting kit, and a survival kit. Kathy was selected to go to Exile Island for a second time along with Ami. During that day, Cirie struck an alliance with Amanda and Parvati to go all the way to the final three with them, But they had to be able to give up there two men in their alliance. On Exile Island, Ami tried to follow the clues without the help of Kathy, who refused to decode the clues that she already knew about from her previous stay. The Immunity Challenge was won by Airai after Cirie, James, Jonathan, and Parvati could not outlast Erik, Joel, Natalie, and Tracy. There was open lobbying by both alliances for Cirie to join their side.Cirie wanted Yau-Man voted off because she feared that he would find a Hidden Immunity Idol. Amanda and Parvati and james agreed to vote with her, but Ozzy wanted Eliza out, but Ozzy finally followed his alliance and Yau-Man was voted out 6-2-1,Parvati and Cirie received voted as well..

  • Reward Challenge: In a playing area similar to a football field, the tribes start at opposite ends of the playing field with three canvas bags. The tribes would have to battle their way to their end zone. The challenge would end when one tribe had their three bags and two of the other tribe's bags in their end zone at the same time.
  • Reward: The winning tribe will win three items chosen from a catalog.
  • Immunity Challenge: Two women and two men from each tribe hold onto ropes that support a large net. The remaining castaways, one at a time, attempt to toss coconuts into the other tribe's net. The tribe who held up their net for the longest time wins the challenge.
