|
| The
episode starts out with Steph all alone at OOlong, having to relight
the fire and spend the night alone. She keeps talking about how scared
she is! Well what about all those camera people who are there with her?
I mean - aren't they allowed to talk to them or anything? |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| "22 down and 17 to go!!" Steph says as she carves another notch on the trunk of the coconut tree. While she laments about being alone.... meanwhile back at the Koror camp - everyone is just lazing around - and some members of the tribe are complaining... Ian is complaining about Coby and Janu and everyone sitting around in a drugged up state (wait - what did I miss?) - Coby is complaining about everyone: "Ian gets a piece of fruit, Tom gets a clam and everyone throws a party. Everyone sat on their ass for 20 days except for..... well .. you know who I mean..." to Caryn as he washes her hair! Caryn is lapping it up! Coby
says he is cranky and trying desperately to control his temper. |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Steph
tries her hand at fishing and knocking coconuts for the tree and finally
gets one. Then cooks up a batch and talks about winning the game, which
is a definite possibility! She is really afraid she will starve before
that happens! |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| She
gets the tree mail and finds out she is going to join the Koror tribe
- she is so excited -- "I'm gonna have friends! ...and food."
|
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The note
says she has to give this tube to the Koror tribe. So she packs up and
heads for the Koror camp. |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And she
is welcomed with open arms and amazed at all the amenities she sees
at their camp - a shelter! a clotheline! a bathroom! places to sit!
(not to mention friends and food!) |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The
tube contains a Koror buff which she can't put on fast enough! I bet
no one in any other reality show ran around in their bra for 22 days
either! I think Steph must hold the record for that! I wonder if they
warn everyone who makes it through the audition to bring high quality
clothes so they don't fall apart? I also wonder if now that they have
merged if one of the rewards will be getting something from their luggage.
Like... they didn't even have a luxury item!! |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Now
the plotting begins.. Jenn is afraid Steph will "weasel her way
in" because she is such a stiff competitor. Let's see.... what
has Jenn done recently? Hmmmm... I recall her knocking Steph of of a
floating platform a couple of weeks ago... other than that and sleeping
with Greg - I'd say NOTHING! |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Steph,
Katie and Jenn are acting like it's sorority reunion weekend and all
the girls are just spilling secrets right and left. It's a cutthroat
game people!!
Steph
- "Jeff and Kim hooked up!" Coby
is watching and waiting to make his move with Steph. He thinks everyone
is kissing up to Steph, and says he wasn't expecting it.He can't wait
to get Steph alone and spill some beans of his own! |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Woah - Ian's lookin a little skinny there! He didn't have much to start with! The visitors arrive and everyone welcomes them. They show them how to fish.... more complaining from Coby as he watches Tom and Ian volunteer to go learn how to fish while he is stuck pulling in bait. He gets downright snotty... You go girlfriend! He says he is "left out as usual" Hmmmmmm - anyone hear a smacking sound around this time? |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Looks
like Koror is getting on each others' nerves just a little bit! |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| They get a bunch of fish - the two Palauans are on fire and catch a lot of fish. They go back and have a feast by firelight with some RUM to drink! They "put the rum in the coconut and drink it all up... put the rum in the coconut.... to make you feel beeeeeetter!" (Put the rum in the coconut and call me in the morning!) Tom
gets a little wasted - so wasted that I would call it "falling
down drunk!" He was falling down all over the place! |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Morning comes Tom seems to have recovered, but realizes there are a few "gaps" in his memory from the night before. They go fishing and then say goodbye to the visitors - Joe and ??? -- Ian admits to Tom that it was a lot of fun, Watching Tom falling down drunk that is! And then everyone goes back to bitching. Coby calls Steph over in a very obvious way to talk to her about what is going on, and the other girls pounce on it right away. They are sure that their sorority sister Steph will tell them everything right away as soon as they are done. And they are right - she does. I think I heard another pucker and smack during that segment! Everyone has to talk to Steph and tell her all about alliances and voting and she is overwhelmed and doesn't know who to trust! They
then have to go to the immunity challenge where Steph finally gets to
touch Willard! Willard the immunity idol finally gets retired - Willard,
the new tribe has spoken! Well, he is replaced by a ferocious-looking
shark jaw necklace! |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The
challenge is an endurance/balance test standing on a perch in the water.
Jeff relaxes in a lawn chair, and then about an hour in he offers some
donuts. Coby and Janu jump in the water to get them! The others look
at them mouth-wateringly and longingly as they eat the donuts. Coby
makes a big deal of eating, with tantalizing expressions and sound effects!
I definitely heard another Loud Smacker that time! |
||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next
time at 2 hours 23 minutes when it's just about dark, Jeff offers 15
chocolate chip cookies and Jenn, Ian, Katie and Greg all give it up.
That leaves only Tom, Caryn, and Steph. It's now been three hours --
Jeff gives them 5 seconds to get pizza and Steph and Caryn cave. Tom
wins the first individual immunity. Did you ever doubt that he would
win the first one? While everyone else has been lazing around the camp
he has competed in almost every challenge! And has been in charge of
the food and water. Not to mention he was very strong to start with
- being a fireman and all. He's my pick to win the whole game... maybe!
|
||||||
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
||
They
head right over to the tribal council. After Jeff talks awhile it still
isn't clear who will be voted off, Steph thinks she is going. Janu thinks
it's her and with good cause! Tom keeps the immunity and the votes are
cast. We see a vote for Coby and none others are shown. A couple other
votes for Steph and Janu, but in the end -- Coby is the target and his
torch is snuffed. Coby takes it like a man and says it was a compliment
that they thought he was a threat. He leaves and Jeff tells Koror to
go back to camp. |
