It's Night 11 (I guess I missed a day somewhere), and the Fans return to camp
after booting Mikey B.  Jason is unhappy with his tribe's decision.  He and
Mikey B wanted Chet gone to make them stronger.  But Joel and Tracy had
either ideas.  Now, Jason just wants out of his tribe.  He's had enough!

Day 12 at Fave's Beach and the gang decides to off a chicken.  Ozzy beheads
Charlie the Chicken.   While the rest pluck feathers, Ozzy sneaks off to hide
the immunity idol he found on Exile Island.  He then tells his allies, James,
Amanda and Parvati that he has it. 

It's time for the Reward Challenge.  But first, Jeff has everyone drop their
buffs!!!  Yes, it's Switch-a-roo!  Each player draws a  painted stone from a
sack.  Ozzy and Natalie pick purple ones, making them team captains.  They
must each choose one from the opposing tribe.  Then each selected player
chooses another from their opposing tribe.  The new Tribes are formed as
the following in order of their selection:

Airai Tribe:  Natalie, James, Alexis, Jon, Jason, Parvati, Kathy, and Eliza

Malakal Tribe:  Ozzy, Joel, Amanda, Erik, Ami, Tracy, Cirie, and Chet. 

Luckily for Ozzy, he will still be at the camp where he hid his idol, plus he
still has his squeeze, Amanda!  And, James is still paired with Parvati.  On
to the challenge!  It's Flag Chase.  Everyone is paired up and harnessed
with a tribe mate.  On each player's back is a flag.  Tribes will alternate
chasing each other, a pair at a time, to get the flag of the other in less than
a minute.  If the chasing pair fails to get a flag in a minute, the running pair
scores a point for their tribe.  Three points win a BBQ complete with wine!
No Exile Island, either, to give people a chance to socialize.

Malakal Tribe begins with Ozzy getting a flag.  Eliza scores next for Airai.
Ami scores next for Malakal.  Alexis ties it up again for Airai.  It comes down
to Joel and Chet chasing Parvati and Eliza.  Chet bumbles and stumbles
with Joel forced to literally drag him around.  But Eliza and Parvati evade
them nicely and run the clock out, scoring the winning point for Airai!

Malakal Tribe returns to their camp.  The new comers are very impressed
with what the Favorites have set up.  Joel and Erik are especially happy to
be there.  Ozzy quickly sizes up his new tribe and sees that Chet is their
weakest link.  At Airai, the Favorites are appalled by how bad the Fan's camp
is.  This bunch did not know how to do anything right.  They set up the BBQ
at their fire pit on the beach, despite warnings from the Favorites that the
tide is coming in.  Sure enough, the BBQ gets wiped out with a wave!  LOL!
Jon is limping around badly.  He got punctured by a wood splinter during
the chase challenge.  It went into a leg just below the knee.  That evening, a
doctor was needed to remove it, clean the wound and give him three stitches.
OUCH!!!

Day 13 at Malakal finds Ozzy diving with the spear, catching fish while Joel
and Erik man their bamboo canoe.  They discuss an alliance, agreeing that
Chet needs to be booted off first, followed by Cirie, then Tracy.

Day 14 and Jon seems to be doing better as he and James take the lead in
building a new and larger shelter for everyone.  Back at Malakal, Amanda
wrestles a 30 pound, 4 foot shark to shore that got caught in their net!
Ozzy is even more impressed by her!  Could this be true love?  LOL!  They
all feast on the quality protein.

It's time for the Immunity Challenge.  Four players from each tribe will take
turns throwing rocks at tiles, which are tied to large puzzle pieces.  Once
all the tiles are completely broken, the other four players will assemble the
puzzle.  Chet will direct the puzzle solving for Malakal and Eliza likewise for
Airai.  Malakal break their tiles first fairly quickly and begin working on the
puzzle.  Airai Tribe has trouble with 'hanging chad', or shards of tile not
completely broken.  Eventually they succeed at getting their puzzle pieces
to the table and Eliza directs their progress.  Jon coaches her to relax and
try to 'see the big picture' for the winning pattern.  She succeeds and Airai
makes a big come-from-behind win!

Malakal sulks back to camp.  Joel is very unhappy as his losing ways con-
tinue.  He and Erik talk with Ozzy about booting Chet.  Ozzy agrees and gets
Amanda on board with the plan.  But when Circie hears it, she balks.  She
is not happy about the boot-the-weakest strategy as she knows she'll be next
on that list.  LOL!  Cirie talks with Chet and Tracy and scheme to boot Joel
instead.  She then makes a pitch to Ozzy and Amanda.  Will they bite?

At Tribal Council, Jeff begins the session with The Switch-a-roo.  Ozzy admits
he selected Joel to counter Natalie's choice of James.  Chet knows that his
joining Malakal by default as last choice leaves him in a bad position.  Tracy
blames Joel for the chase loss by not communicating with Chet.  Chet agrees
that Joel dragged him around instead of giving directions.  Erik wants to
vote such to make the tribe stronger.  It's time to vote.  Joel and Erik vote to
boot Chet.  The rest blindside Joel and send him down the Walk of Shame.
The bigger they are, the easier to blindside! 

SPOILERS:  Ami is conflicted about her loyalty to the original Favorites.  Is
she plotting to boot Ozzy???   Jason finds the fake immunity idol Ozzy left
on Exile Island.  LOL!  Jon is told by the doctor that he has an infection and
is worried about it spreading into his blood stream.  OH-OH!!!
