Night 6 at Ulong Beach. The gang returns from Tribal Council after giving the boot to Ashley. But she is already forgotten. The conversation and murmur- ing revolves around the budding relationship between Lil'Jeff and Kim. Big Jeff Probst brought it all out in the open. Now that they are exposed, the talk amongst the others turns to how to split them up.? Which is more valuable to keep around? James intends to keep his eye on them.
Day 7 at Koror Beach. Another day of hard rain forces the issue of how bad their shelter is. Katie has an opinion on how everything should be done, which drives Caryn nuts. She finally explodes on Katie when the two are by themselves. Caryn calls her out for being bossy, then storms off, not giving Katie a chance to respond. Katie pursues and gives Caryn a piece of her mind in front of everyone. They agree to not talk to each other. Cory laments as they are the better tribe, they haven't gotten rid of any deadweight yet. He checks for tree-mail and finds announcement of a challenge.
This episode's Reward Challenge is a watery one. The prize is a sewing kit and material. The object is to obtain a life preserver and bring it back to your platform, and score a point by having one hand on the platform and one on the preserver. Big Jeff explains to them that they may get physical, but not vio- lent, and they should keep in mind that whoever they mess with now may be on the jury later. 3 points wins. Round One is Tom versus Lil'Jeff, who let's Tom do all the work in swimming out to get the preserver. Lil'Jeff intercepts him and they wrestle for control. Tom is dragged towards Ulong's platform. Ulong scores it's 1st point. Round Two is Jennifer versus Stephenie. This one is Stephenie's all the way. The score is now Ulong 2, Koror 0. Round Three has Bobby Jo and Angie paired up facing Gregg and Vanu. This round is also lopsided. Ulong wins!
The victors return to camp with their spoils. Bobby Jo decides to use a needle and thread for fishing. He is getting very disgusted by the work ethic of the others. Especially Kim's. Kim in turn thinks he needs to chill out before he hurts himself. Over at Koror, the gents find some poisonous sea snakes and decide that some snake meat would taste good right about now. The Terrific Trio of Tom, Ian, and Gregg, hunt and kill several snakes. The carcasses are hung to drain on a tree branch over the shoreline, with blood dripping into the water. This attracts a school of small sharks. Tom and Ian, armed with make- shift spears, try hunting the sharks, using pieces of snake to lure the fish closer. Maybe they should try catching the rats?
Night 7 and Lil'Jeff twists his right ankle. He props it up and hopes he'll have all day to rest it before the Immunity Challenge. Day 8 dawns and bad news, the IC is this morning. Lil'Jeff tells the rest he'll try his best, but he is limping badly. The two tribes gather and Big Jeff notices Lil'Jeff limping. Today's event is a pursuit game. Both tribes start on opposite ends of an oval course just off shore. Each tribe is roped together with clasps and all are carrying a backpack with 20 lbs. Around and around they must go until one tribe catches the other and tags them. At any time, members may unclasp themselves but must hand off their backpack to another. Right at the start, Lil'Jeff unhooks himself, knowing he will only slow his tribe down. Caryn and Willard do not last long for Koror. Kim and Angie bail out next. Katie goes, followed by Cory, who is completely winded. Tom figures out that they, Koror (the SMART tribe), would make their best progress when pressing harder on the shallow part of the course. Steadily, they are gaining. When James departs, it is Bobby Jo, Ibrehem, and Stephenie (the only woman left), versus Tom, Ian, and Gregg. Koror eventually wears down Ulong and tags them. Ulong faces their third Tribal Council in a row.
Ulong returns to their beach and Lil'Jeff makes a speech. It is a far, far nobler thing I have ever done. He tells the rest that they should vote him off. He may get better in a few days, but it could be weeks before he is his old healthy self. The tribe says they would never vote him off. Ummm, yeah, right! Kim is the focus of James and Bobby Jo. But Angie tells Bobby Jo that she's voting off Jeff. She's tired of losing. He still tries to convince her that Lil'Jeff is more useful. Able to split coconuts with a single blow. James tells Lil'Jeff he's not going anywhere. Kim is decidedly worried.
At Tribal Council, Ibrehem tells all he thinks they reason they lost Immunity was because of Lil'Jeff and his injury. Bobby Jo disagrees. They lost because of Tom being a real man! Lil'Jeff says that he's always been a team player, and if the others decide to boot him, it's ok. The subject of work ethic pops up and Bobby Jo rolls his eyes as the others say how hard they work. Kim is whining steadily about how she is vulnerable and that nobody likes her. It's time to vote. Bobby Jo and James vote for Kim, Lil'Jeff votes for James, and the rest of the deluge gives Lil'Jeff the boot. He limps away into the night.
SPOILERS: Each tribe must select a member to represent them for some purpose. Probably a switcharoo. Jeff Probst looks rather annoyed when he hears that Ulong couldn't decide who to send. Jeff has that, 'Are these guys ever gonna get their acts together?', look on his face. LOL!!!
