Night 6 and the women of Yasur Tribe return to their camp stressed out from
Tribal Council.  Immediately, Mia, Lisa, and Julie attack Eliza for switching.
Mia doesn't think she can trust Eliza anymore.  Eliza makes plenty of excuses,
but mainly it's just another reason for her to keep talking.

Day 7, a rather long one at that begins with the men working on their shelter.
All except Rory, who is out foraging instead.  He finds some orange-like citrus
fruits.  Drill Sargeant Lea is not impressed.  He talks with Rory to get him on
the same page as the rest.  JP and others listen to the exchange.  Rory is not
making friends.  Back at Yasur, Twila and Mia go at it.  Mia didn't care for
Twila's comments at Tribal Council about the young gals' work ethic.  Mia is
foolish, for Twila is busy sharpening a machette during the exchange.  They
call each other a bitch and Mia stomps off.  Julie and Eliza go off to check tree
mail.  They discuss Eliza's swing vote again.  Mia and Lisa join them.  Eliza
swears she is still with the rest, and is willing to vote off Twila.  Lisa tells Uncle
Cameraman that she doesn't trust Eliza, and that she has a back-up plan.

It's Challenge Time!  A combined Reward & Immunity event.  The men are sur-
prized that Dolly, or "Barbie", is gone.  Jeff explains the challenge.  The Re-
ward part is a team effort, with both tribes working to get through a series of
bamboo fences, either by untieing or unlocking gates, or by merely climbing
over them.  First tribe to get all members through wins fishing gear, including
the now infamous Hawaiian sling.  Jeff then unleashes the shocker!  The
Immunity phase of the challenge will be individual!  Each Tribe will vote off one
member that evening.  Everyone is aghast!  The men get an early lead and hold
on to it.  The women got close only once as Lisa and Twila worked together to
get sets of keys at one obstacle.  JP did very well during this station, too.  But
the men triumph and win the fishing gear.  Jeff tells the women to have a seat
and takes the men over to the Immunity course.  Each must find ladder rungs
which are buried in the sand.  There are 7 for each ladder and each rung is
unique and only fits in one place.  After finding all 7, the men may then work
on assembling their ladders.  First to do so wins Immunity.  This race is tight
between Chad and John K.  They are neck and neck, exchanging leads.  John
K comes on strong at the end and wins.  Jeff gives him the Immunity necklace.
Jeff then expalins the second shocker.  John K will not return to Lopevi Camp
with the men.  Instead, he will go with Yasur Tribe back to their beach.  John K
will rejoin the men at Tribal Council and vote.  Afterwards, he will remain be-
hind till the women show up, and then choose one to wear the necklace!  All
are shocked again!!!

John K goes with the women to their camp.  The whole time Eliza was jabber-
ing away.  At camp, John asks for a show of hands as to who voted Dolly out?
He takes those five off to the side and pow-wows with them.  As Eliza was one
of them, she continues to blab in John's ear.  Having listened to Eliza long
enough, he attempts to find useful conversation with the underdogs.  But, Eliza
follows.  Afterall, she still thinks she's one of the Gals.  As John K leaves, he's
made up his mind who he's NOT giving Immunity to, ... Eliza!  Back at Lopevi,
JP attempts to score points by fshing with the sling.  He catches a few small
fish.  JP then corners Sarge, and tries to convince Lea to switch sides and
boot Rory.  Lea admits he doesn't like Rory, and that the younger men have a
better chance at getting a winning streak going.  Lea then talks with Chris.
Chris is adamant about sticking with the plan.  Boot JP next!

Tribal Council for the men has John K rejoining Lopevi.  He tells all about his
strategy of dividing the women up by their voting blocks and talking with each
separately.  All, even Jeff, are impressed by the young man's shrewdness! 
Rory and JP then bash each other.  Lea throws some mud at Rory, too.  It's
time to vote.  JP, John K, and Brady all vote to boot Rory.  The rest vote off JP.
The Elders are now in firm control.

As planned, John K remains behind as Yasur Tribe enters Tribal Council.  Once
all are seated, Jeff asks John K to make his selection.  John K explains that
his has decided to choose the least likely member to be voted for, sweet Ami.
Mia and Eliza look pissed.  After John K departs, the women go at it again.  Mia
and Twila square off.  As Ami has immunity, she chimes in, telling Twila that
she should use this opportunity to explore her femininity.  Ask someone to
French braid her hair.  LOL!!!  Yeah, rrrrrrright!  I think that Immunity necklace
did something to Ami's common sense.  The voting goes down between Twila
amd Mia.  The Elders cast four against Mia, while Eliza, Julie, and Mia vote
against Twila.  Will Lisa make it a 4-4 tie and a purple rock moment???  NO!!!
Lisa's back-up plan was to switch sides.  Being the oldest of the Gals, she
finally had a stroke of common sense! 

SPOILERS:  Sensing more than a gathering threat, Brady tries to become the
new food provider.  At Yasur, Eliza and Lisa square off on who betrayed whom
first!  Don't be surprised if Burnett pulls a Switch-A-Roo to save the beautiful
players.  Hmmm, wait a minute.  There aren't any!
