Day 31 and it's finally a beautiful, sunny morning. All welcome it, even Shii Ann, but it gives her no comfort. She's alone. No allies. Everyone hates and mistrusts her. Boo-hoo! She doesn't care much for Jenna. Considers her to be bossy. We watch video of Jenna lay- ing down the law on cooking privileges. Smart move. You wouldn't want to run out of food, now would you? But Shii Ann isn't the only one irritated with Jenna.
Rupert returns from catching a bunch of fish. The gang is sort of im- pressed as they sit around eating what Jenna cooked. After telling his fish stories, Rupert sulks off by himself. Nobody offers to help clean the fish. He cleans one for himself and throws it on the fire. The rest watch and wonder where theirs are. Jenna talks with Rupert about his behavior. She correctly advises that it's not good strategy. Rupert doesn't care much as he chews his fish. He eventually ex- plains himself to the others. Shii Ann hopes to use this incident to her advantage.
The gang gathers for a Reward Challenge. Jeff first shows them what the reward is. Amber's mom comes out from the jungle. She's fol- lowed by Tom's son, Jenna and Rob's brothers, Shii Ann's mom, and finally, Rupert's wife, Laura. There is a lot of hugging and crying. There's also a lot of smooching between Rupert and Laura. Jeff has to break them up. It's the Gross Food Challenge and once again it is the family members who must eat the delicacies. Five rounds of elim- ination, last one done, or not done, is out. No water may be drunk un- til Jeff declares that you have swallowed all of the item.
The 1st Round is fishheads, and Amber's mom loses. Round 2 is flying cockroaches, and Shii's mom is out. The 3rd Round is Farfaru, that disgusting smelling treat from the Marquesas. Laura loses. Round 4 is baked tarantula, during which Jenna's brother is disquali- fied for drinking water. He though he could. The Final Round is a live caterpillar larvae. It's between Rob's brother Mark and Tom's son Bo. Bo wolf's his down in seconds. Tom and Bo do a victory jig. Jeff then announces that they will spend the night at Chapera Beach. And, that Tom may invite one other along with his/her relative. Some point to Rupert, who's eyes are full of hope. But Tom ain't biting. He invites Rob and Mark along.
Chapera Beach is well stocked with pizza and beer. The guys bash all night, slamming down the beers in a drunken frenzy. Tom says there was no way he was bring Rupert. He thought it unmanly how Rupert slobbered over his woman. Tom trashes everyone left behind. He's smashed and in a royal mood. As the evening wore on (watch "Harvey" to understand that pun), Rob and Mark excuse themselves to take a walk. While away, Tom tells Bo the whole game depends on his relationship with Rob. Rob tells Mark his only true alliance is with Amber, and doesn't trust Tom at all.
Day 32 and the Boys return to the tribe along with their guests. Bo is immediately thrust into manual labor, fetching wood. Just another day of hard work on the farm. Mark hangs out on the beach with Rob, Amber, and Jenna. Rupert feels sorry for Bo and takes him spear fishing. At first, Rupert didn't give Bo a spear, but Tom handed Bo the second one. Bo is a terrible swimmer, and winds up losing the spear tip. Rupert doesn't comment like last time, but Rob observes that both Tom and Bo are idiots. The guests finally leave.
Day 33 and it's time for an Immunity Challenge. Shii Ann knows she must win or be booted. It's the old Fire-Tower challenge from Austra- lia. Each end of a pivot has a large bucket. One end is for filling with water to raise the other end up, which is to hold a roaring fire. Raise the fire high enough to ignite a fuse and illuminate their tower. The water bucket has a hole on the bottom, so it will only rise for a short moment. Everybody but Amber gets a fire going. Rob raises his 1st, but by that time, the fire is out. He tries relighting it but runs out of matches. Amber then runs out of matches, followed by Rupert and Jenna. It's between Tom and Shii Ann. Big Tom wins immunity!
Back at camp, Tom revels in his good fortune. Shii Ann scrambles to persuade everyone to boot Jenna. Tom says he's okay with that, as does Rupert and Amber. Shii Ann approaches Rob. He turns down the plan. He has his alliances and he will not change them now. Shii threatens to expose the tangled web of alliances at Tribal Council. Rob looks somewhat concerned.
At Tribal Council, things get nasty. Jeff first asks about who does the most work around camp. Jenna pipes up that Rupert and Tom do most of the heavy labor, and Rupert catches the most fish. This then brings up the earlier incident. Rupert is worried that others may hold his outburst against him. Shii Ann then butts in with her opinions on the true nature of the tribe's paranoia. She openly exposes Jenna as the person she dislikes the most. But Shii only alludes to who she believes is the most powerful game player. That will have to wait till she casts her vote.
Shii Ann votes for Amber, paying homage from one she-devil to ano- ther. The rest vote to boot Shii Ann. Game, set, match. The Rob- Amber-Jenna alliance now rules. Rupert and Tom have become ex- pendable.
SPOILERS: The paranoia continues to increase as Rob overhears Rupert talking about booting either Rob or Amber. Rupert accuses Tom of having discussed this with him.
