It's Night 8 and Ravu Tribe return to camp after booting Sylvia. Nobody is weeping for her, but ill sentiments abound. Earl suggests that after a fire is built, they all have a pow-wow. Rocky takes the opportunity to unload about five tons of disrespect on Anthony. Mookie had thrown in his opinion of Anthony during Tribal Council, so Rocky didn't want to feel left out. In short, they simply can't stand Anthony. They think his personality is too whiny. Anthony knows he's disliked. It seems he's always had self-esteem issues. Looks like he's the next to go should Ravu continue their losing ways. There doesn't appear to be any reason why they would. LOL!
Day 9 at the luxurious Moto Resort is another wonderful day. It seems that everyone here is getting along just fine, though some more than others. We learn now that there is an alliance, the Moto Five, consisting of Alex, Lisi, Stacey, Edgardo and Boo. Gary is still feeling out of it, complaining of a spinning head and nausea. His tribemates are concerned.
Time for the Reward Challenge. We've seen this one before, the cross the balance-beam-gauntlet. Both tribes are to line up on a narrow balance beam and take turns maneuvering around the others to reach safety. First tribe to succeed wins lots of goodies. Some nice fish, spices, rice, pillows and blankets, and will be delivered a soft king-sized bed! The winners will also naturally send one from the losing tribe to Exile Island. Ravu gets off to an early lead as Michelle, then Yau-Man, get across without too much trouble. Moto is looking really bad, but they are testing a strategy, which finally pays off. While Anthony fouls up Ravu (go figure), Moto executes their strategy in almost precision fashion. A last ditch effort by Ravu fails and Moto blows them away, AGAIN! Yau-Man is selected for exile.
Moto takes their winnings back to camp and find the bed. Another stun- ning victory is celebrated. Back at Ravu, things get stunning also, as Rocky unloads another five tons of frustration. His angry rants and raves even shock his allies. "Lets just call Jeff on the Jeff-phone and tell him we're ready to do Tribal Council now and vote someone off." LOL! Earl and Anthony leave the hostility to gather firewood. Anthony voices his concern about being the next to be voted off. Earl is vaguely supportive, he's undecided as to how to handle the situation. Meanwhile, Yau-Man gets a set of clues to the location of the hidden immunity idol. He's confident he knows where it is. Just doesn't know how he'll dig it up without raising suspicions.
Night 9 at Moto Resort and Liliana is busy giving massages to the boys. Lisi sees right through Liliana's cheap scheme. Mmmeeeooowww! Day 10 dawns and Gary is feeling worse. The medics are called in and once again find nothing wrong. They tell Gary that he needs a more thorough examination which can only happen in a hospital, which means Gary must leave The Game. Gary agrees and he's taken off the island on a stretcher. Alex worries that if they should now lose an Immunity Challenge, both tribes will be equal at seven a piece.
Day 11 and Rocky wants to win. So badly, he's going naked! I think he's finally snapped. LOL! Tree-mail arrives and the girls try reading it while not looking at Rocky's private parts. When they arrive at Challenge Beach, Rocky is clothed, but is now sporting one of the girl's bikini tops?!?! He's gone insane! Even Jeff is amused by this. After Moto shows up, Jeff lets everyone know that Gary is gone but no details yet. The Game continues. It's a rescue challenge. All but one member is locked in a cage, with the last cage on shore suspended in mid-air. The free player from each tribe swims off shore to release the first caged member, then that player in turn releases the next, and so on and so forth. Once the last off-shore player is freed, a boat is boarded and the rest are picked up on the way back to shore. Once there, the tribe must form a human pyramid to allow one to free the last player. First tribe to reach their mat with everyone wins immu- nity AND a bottle containing a secret message! Oooooooooh! The event begins with a swim-off between Rocky and Edgardo to reach the first cage. Edgardo wins easily and Moto jumps off to an early lead. It gets bigger when Rita stumbles on the wooden lily pad connecting the cages off shore. Ravu manages to catch up once on shore while Stacey fumbles with the keys as she stands on top of Moto's pyramid. But Moto wins anyway, like Ravu had any chance. Yawn! But hold everything! The message in the bottle is a doozey! If Moto wants to keep immunity, they must trade camps with Ravu. LOL! A quick vote is taken and Moto decides to give up immunity to Ravu to keep their comfy shelter.
Back at the resort, Dre holds court wanting to openly discuss who should be voted off. The way he sees it, the only two logical choices are Lisi and Cassandra, as they are the two oldest women and can be spared to keep the tribe strong. Edgardo pipes in that he will not vote off Lisi, so his ballot will be cast against Cassandra. Later, Stacey talks with Cassandra and it seems that all may not be lost. The Moto Five discuss who to boot off and Lisi makes an argument for dumping Liliana. Alex doesn't like the idea of voting off someone who is athletic.
At Tribal Council, Dre goes on the defensive concerning his desire to have an open vote prior to TC. He just wants to keep the snakes out of the tribe this early in The Game. Liliana voices that she considers herself an asset to the tribe. Cassandra agrees and pays Liliana a compliment. It's time to vote. Cassandra votes for Lisi, Liliana votes for Cassandra. I didn't see how Dre voted, but Lisi and, presumably, the rest of the Moto Five, give Liliana the boot.
SPOILERS: Moto Tribe develops some fractures in their togetherness. The hunt for the hidden idol is on in earnest at Ravu Beach. Rocky and Dre exchange some trash-talk.
