Uh-oh, Jonathon and Cirie aren't getting along after Cirie got rid of Yau-man last week. They bicker like children, and that's about all you get from that.

Meanwhile, on the Fan camp, their crappy life continues to be crappy, the toll of which is really wearing down Chet, who spends most of the day alternating between sitting in the water and laying in the shade. Mikey B and Jason are especially irked by this and plot to kick him out for being the weakest member of the team.

Speaking of weak members, we cut back to the Favorite's camp where Eliza is doing her best not to die from illness. Does the rest of the tribe care? Noooooot so much. They're more upset that they let Cirie talk them into getting rid of Yau-man when they all wanted to get rid of Eliza. Really, they should have just gotten rid of Eliza then, and just not told Cirie. She was going to vote for Yau-man anyway, worse case scenario Eliza ends up tied with Parvati. But if you get rid of Eliza, what's Cirie going to do? It's now a 4 on 4 vote any way and all of her bargaining power is gone. But I digress. Eliza is sick and tired and she's especially of James and Ozzie standing right next to her discussing how they should have sent her home. Boy, I hate to break up the Like-Fest, but it's prime time for-

REWARD CHALLENGE!
Another swimming challenge, because Ozzie isn't dominate enough already. Four members swim out to a raft, then one at a time swim down to a 30 foot long cage and push lettered coconuts out of the cage and into a tub. Once all 10 coconuts are gathered the team swims them to the beach where the other 4 spell out the one word answer. Winner gets Chicken!



Oh, sorry, chickens.



The Fans get off to an early start as Ozzie is spending way too much time underwater. Why? Because instead of moving one coconut, he's moving four or five coconuts to the front of the cage. It puts them in a 2-0 hole at first, but then all four of the Favorites are able to snag coconuts with a minimal effort, putting them ahead 4-2. Ozzie pulls the same trick his second time in the water and the Favorites get all 10 in the bucket first. Taking the coconuts, James, Eliza, Cirie and Amanda try to figure the word when James goes "Could 'Triumphant' be a word?" Well sure enough it IS a word. Not only that, it's THE word, and the Favorites are now 3-2 in challenges. In a move I just don't get, the Favorites send Kathy to Exile again and send Ozzie with her.

Why Kathy? I don't know. Maybe they think she'll help with clues. My pick would have been Mikey B or Joel, because not only do you have the chance to weaken one of their strong people with a night out in the elements, but you also leave them out of the loop for a day of plotting back at camp. Trust me, no one is plotting with Kathy.

At Exile Kathy fawns over Ozzie and how awesome all of the Favorites have been so far before Ozzie offers to go get them some food. While Kathy works on a pretty miserable fire, Ozzie secretly goes looking for the Immunity Idol. Remember when Cirie and Kathy had found all four clues but didn't want to climb up the hill to look around any trees? Well, guess what? THAT's where the Immunity Idol is hidden. Ozzie's head almost explodes he's so happy, before he shoves it under his giant hat (Note: If you go on Survivor, wear a giant hat) and slips it into his bag while Kathy's back is turned.

Still promising to get food, Ozzie takes a trick out of Yau-man's playbook (RIP Yau-man!) and crafts a crude Faux Idol. Wrapping it back in the original cloth and burying it under the original rock, Ozzie hopes that someone will be fooled by it. But seriously, who would be fooled by a fake idol????



Kind of funny that Cirie was so worried about Yau-man finding it in one try and the very next week Ozzie finds it in one try. If people thought he was trouble before, look out, that Shark just figured out how to use a machine gun.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!
6 of the players are locked in a sliding harness and have to navigate a maze picking up block necklaces as they go. At then end of the course the two remaining players have to use the block necklaces to decode a letter puzzle. A lot of spelling this week. The Fans hit a major stumbling block when Jason can't get his lock open and by the time he passes the ring of keys on to the next person the Favorites are already unlocked. After that it's all academic and the Favorites cruise to an easy win. The closest it was was when the Fans almost crushed Eliza and Cirie while trying to navigate the course.

Back at camp Mikey and Joel have a talk in the woods. ...I'm sorry, this just dawned on me now, there is no other Mikey on the show. There's not a Mike or a Michael or even a Michelle, so why do they call him Mikey B? Do you think that's what he told them to call him? Wow. Between that and the Ticket tattoo ("I go to a lot of games"), he's a complete dill hole. Well, Dill Hole B wants to get rid of Chet. Joel wants to get rid of Kathy. Dill Hole B asks Joel to help him get rid of Chet as a sign of good faith. That makes sense, right? Right.

Enter Tracy. Tracy has a plan to save Chet because he's one of her votes. If she loses him and Kathy then she's screwed. So she asks Joel who they're planning to get rid of and he says Chet. Tracy then uses the Jedi Mind Trick on Joel to convince him that if he doesn't get rid of Mikey B this week then Mikey B will get rid of him instead. It was like watching Luke Skywalker talk his way past Bib Fortuna at Jabba's palace in Return Of The Jedi. But is Joel a weak minded fool? I guess we'll see at-

TRIBAL COUNCIL!
Probst questions the group on what they need to do to get better. Mikey B points out that they need to cut weak players like Chet. Tracy makes a very good point that neither Chet, Kathy nor herself were even in the Immunity Challenge (Kathy was sat out, Chet and Tracy were back at the puzzle waiting for their team to never get there) so it's not their fault they lost. Erik starts to look nervous and just before Jeff sends them to vote he makes a comment that freaks Jason out so much he actually stops Probst so he can STRONGLY remind everyone that they need to vote out the weak players.

The votes are read and it's a back and forth between Mikey B and Chet when suddenly Mikey B gets a fourth vote. And that means Joel swung. And that means he found a fifth to swing and just like that Rhyno and Big Bird are suckered into sending Mikey B back to Bahston.


BONADUCE SLAM!
