NIGHT SIX and the Fans return to camp after booting off Mary. Mickey B is very upset that his closest ally is gone. He is most irritated with Joel for back-stabbing him. MB tells Joel he wants to thin out the weaker players and make the tribe stronger. Over at Faves Camp, the couples throw a beach party and invite Eliza along. They try to woo her to their alliance and tell her thay want to boot Yau-Man off first. Eliza, naturally, tells her allies, including Yau-Man, what they're plotting. Cirie has not yet decided which alliance she will side with.
Day Seven and tree-mail arrives, along with jars of face paint. Both tribes are going to war. Each tribe also gets a copy of the Survivor Camp Shopping catalog. Tribes will each select three reward prizes from it. Jeff explains the event rules when both teams gather. Each will begin on opposite sides of a lagoon and have 3 burlap bags. Not sure what they're filled with, but they are stuffed with something. Once the challenge begins, each tribe will charge forward and try to get their bags into the other's 'end zone'. Tribes may steal bags from the other. First to get five bags into the end zone wins their three reward items plus makes the Exile Island selections. The event is a very physical one. Both tribes throw each other around, lots of tackling, and other roughness. The scoring goes back and forth, but eventually, the Faves manage to get five bags into their end zone and win. Their reward items are a large tarp plus lighting and a survival kit. They again select Kathy for Exile Island and Ami goes along for the ride.
The Faves celebrate! Cirie seems melancholy. She thinks she's an outsider, in the middle between the two alliances. Cirie expects both groups to be trying to earn her support with gifts and tribute. LOL! Parvati and Amanda take Cirie on a ride in the bamboo fishing boat/raft and stroke her ego. Jon and Eliza watch from shore and worry that Cirie may not be as firm an ally as they hoped. On Exile Island, Ami is busy finding and reading clues, but Kathy has no desire to keep swimming back and forth like last time. Clue hunting ends early when a fierce storm approaches. That night, the Fans get soaked thoroughly from the storm, while the Faves are cozy and dry thanks to the new tarp.
Day Eight and the Fans had a rough night. They stir themselves into action but are very demoralized. They're raw to the bone after getting drenched. But it's time for the Immunity Challenge. Both tribes are gathered and Kathy and Ami rejoin them on Challenge Beach. Today's event is Battle Coconuts. Two men and two women from each tribe will hold ropes keep- ing a huge basket-like net raised. The rest will try throwing coconuts into the other's tribe net, making it heavier. First tribe to drop their net looses. The Faves holders are Parvati, James, Jon and Cirie. The Fans holders are Joel, Tracy, Erik, and Natalie. The other Fans prove to be better shots than the remaining Faves, and the Faves net fills quickly, getting heavier and heavier. The Faves throwers do catch up, but the clock is against them as their holders strain from the weight and drop their net. The Fans win!
Back at Camp Faves, the politicking begins. Jon and Yau-Man decide to target Parvati again. Parvati tells James she wants Yau-Man gone, but James is reluctant. He and Ozzy are thinking about booting Eliza instead in order to keep the tribe strong. They approach Cirie who is adamant about booting Yau-Man next. Jon and Ami try to convince Cirie to vote their way, but Cirie doesn't trust them and openly challenges their position. She tells them that she knows Jon and Yau-Man are tight and wants Yau gone. Jon then scrambles and tries working Ozzy by agreeing to boot Eliza instead. Ozzy seems convinced and tells his allies about the change in plans. Cirie still wants Yau-Man gone and makes it clear that's who she's voting for. Jon tells his allies that he thinks they should stick with their plan to boot Parvati because he's now confident that the others will split their votes between Eliza and Yau-Man.
At Tribal Council, Jon says he is disappointed with the challenge loss. James has new respect for the Fans. So does Yau-Man. Jon describes how some in the Faves tribe want to keep the strong players around while others are already playing an End Game. Cirie takes that personally and defends her choice to boot Yau-Man. She says she does not trust half the tribe. Jon and her argue. Parvati's name comes up and she tells Jeff she knew she is a target. It's time to vote. Jon and Yau-Man vote to boot Parvati. Ami cast her ballot against Cirie! Where did that come from??? The rest, including Eliza of all people, vote to boot poor Yau-Man. Our hero is gone! Jeff warns them that they better all get on the same page quickly.
SPOILERS: Jon and Cirie continue to bicker with each other. Mickey B and Joel also are in conflict. Meanwhile, some lucky fool finds an immunity idol on Exile Island!
