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!!!
