Night 20 at Malakal Beach and Erik feels lucky.  Tracy had just been booted
off the tribe, making him the last 'Fan-member' of Malakal.  Ozzy broods
over comments made during Tribal Council by Tracy, about him being the
leader.  He suspects that he may have a target on his back.  Early the next
morning, right after credits and a commercial break (LOL!), we watch as
Ami and Cirie go crab hunting.  They come across a big one, and Ami nails
it!

Day 21 and Malakal settles in for some crab cakes for breakfast.  Ozzy is
impressed and chats with Ami.  They discuss alliances, strategy, etc., and
Ozzy moans about the comments Tracy made.  Ami tells him to forget them,
she's on his side.  But Ozzy has his doubts. At Camp Airai, food is an issue.
All are getting tired of coconuts.  Jason tracks and kills a rat!  He's all for
eating it, but the gals are squeamish.  James is bumming.  He's tired of their
island.  It has no decent beach.  No good place to swim.  Parvati joins him
and they discuss long-term strategy.  She decides to take the initiative and
attempts to recruit Natalie into an 'All-Girl' alliance with them, Alexis, and
Amanda, post-merge.  Ozzy and James will be prime targets.

Tree-mail arrives announcing a Reward/Immunity Combo Challenge.  This
one has a twist to it.  Each tribe will select one player from the other to be
immediately exiled.  Both players will not participate in the challenge, and
both will have individual immunity when either go to Tribal Council later
that evening. 

Both tribes gather and Jeff asks for their Exile Island selections.  Airai chose
Ozzy and Malakal chose Alexis.  They are sent to the boat immediately.  Jeff
then explains today's challenge.  Two from each tribe will take turns running
an obstacle course, designed to test balance, to fetch a flag and return it to
the Start Platform.  Meanwhile, the other two players from each tribe will
try to knock down the runners by swinging heavy sandbags hung by ropes.
First tribe to get five flags back to the Start Platform wins immunity, PLUS,
PIZZA!!!  Yes, Pizza, and beer, too!  Yum-Yum!

Erik and Amanda run for Malakal, and Jason and Eliza run for Airai.  Erik
and Jason make the first dash.  Mid-course is a narrow balance beam which
is the main target for the swingers.  The other obstacles include a rolling
log and a rope bridge.  Should anyone fall, they have to return to the start
and the other runner go instead.  Eliza falls during one attempt.  Erik falls
during another and lands hard on his chest.  The swingers really are not
very effective.  The race is a close one, all even-up at four flags each.  Jason
has a slight lead as he brings home the fifth flag.  Airai wins!!!  Jeff congra-
tulates them, and tells Airai that the pizza and beer will be brought to their
island.  He then tells Malakal that Ozzy will rejoin them before Tribal Council,
but he will have individual immunity.

At Malakal Beach, Erik is hurting.  His chest aches very much.  Ami isn't too
concerned, as she figures he's going home tonight.  He can get some medical
attention after being booted off.  At Camp Airai, Jason feels like the MVP.
He had secured four of the five flags himself.  He also still thinks the idol
he found is real.  LOL!  A boat arrives with the food.  Pizza, breadsticks and
beer are carried ashore.  Mark Burnett forgot to include a bottle opener for
the beer.  Luckily, James has a good set of teeth, and bites off the caps for
everyone. 

On Exile Island, Ozzy and Alexis review the clues.  Ozzy pretends that he's
still looking for the hidden immunity idol.  He actually wants to know if any
one else has found his fake idol.  They find the spot and Ozzy is happy to see
it gone.  Ha-ha-ha!  He wonders which numbskull has it?  Back at Malakal,
Amanda and Cirie pine about losing again.  Erik works hard, fetching more
coconuts from a top a tall tree.  He then chats with Amanda and Cirie, telling
them all about Ami's attempts to boot Cirie and Ozzy.  Cirie hasn't trusted
Ami from Day One.  Ami wanders over and hears the discussion.  She tries
to defend herself.  She argues how she always felt left out back at the Favs
Tribe and such, but has still been loyal all the same.  Amanda and Cirie feel
sympathetic and the three ladies share a group hug.  Ami later thanks Erik
for spilling the beans, while toting a machete!  LOL!  Ozzy returns and Erik
heads off the others and fills him in on Ami.  He vows to stay loyal to the Oz.
Ozzy then chats with Amanda, but she appears to be buying Ami's explana-
tions.

At Tribal Council, Jeff quizzes Cirie on why they keep losing?  She's clueless.
Erik knows he's a target for tonight as the last Fan on the tribe.  Ozzy then
brings up Ami's past actions.  She tries to defend herself.  Ozzy asks her
point-blank if she ever tried to boot him off?  She starts sobbing and gives
her story again.  Jeff asks Cirie how she'll decide who to vote off?  Cirie
answers she'll go with her gut.  Amanda says she "wants to believe" Ami.
Ozzy says he wants to believe Ami, too, but…  Ami makes one last pitch
promising to be loyal and committed.  It's time to vote.  Ami votes to boot
Erik.  Erik votes to boot Ami.  The rest also vote against Ami.  Jeff snuffs
out Ami's torch.  The tribe has spoken.  Jeff tells the rest that they better
figure out a way to start winning.

SPOILERS:  It's time for THE MERGE!!!  Some players are jealous of others.
Eliza tells Jason his immunity idol is just a dumb stick!  LOL!!!  Too funny!
The poor guy, I almost feel sorry for him.  *SNICKER*  Bad enough to be
doped by Ozzy, but to be enlightened by Eliza, YIKES!  LOL!!!
