THEME
Me and My Snake

We start off with Drake re-hashing Tribal Council. Balboa the snake dies, and Rupert buries him (so he won't be used for bait). At Morgan, we see their new mascot - a pelican - that flies in from the water. Ryan takes to it, names him Pelican Pete, and the bird follows him around to the amusement of the tribe. Osten freaks out (like he does at all animals on the island) and starts sharpening his machete, threatening to kill the bird and ruffling the feathers of his tribe (did I really say that?). Drake decides to rebuild the floor of their shelter. Shawn disagrees, and an argument ensues between Shawn and Jon (Shawn may have been wrong, but you know Jon is just an ass...). The Reward Challenge is firing actual canons at targets for a grill, utensils, spices, 3 very large lobsters and 6 steaks. It was interesting to see cannonballs hook and slice! Drake wins and enjoys the food. They send Jon to plunder Morgan. Bad move. Very bad move. He goes over and is welcomed by Morgan. Things go well. He takes a cooking pot while Morgan thought they would have wanted the shower. In a nice diplomatic move, Morgan allows Jon to wash and shampoo his hair. As I said, Jon is an ass. He tells Morgan (after he takes a cooking pot) that Drake threw that immunity challenge. Holy crap. You are an idiot. Morgan is upset. Andrew, in a narration, calls Jon a "little pissant". They're pissed and fired-up now. The tribes show up for the Immunity Challenge. Christa looks like hell - her face is full of bug bites and Jeff mentions this. The challenge is strategy & endurance - Tribe members from each tribe would be forced to hold a pole up on their shoulders behind their neck. Periodically, weight would be added to the pole. Members of each tribe would determine to which of the opposing tribe members' poles the weight would be added. The last tribe standing would win immunity. Andrew, Osten, and Ryan with the strategy of Tijuana and Darrah go up against Rupert, Shawn, and Christa??? Oh, this is so wrong... Jon and Trish doing strategy? Osten is the first one out at 160 pounds in weights (plus 15 pounds for the bar), then Rupert loses his pole, Shawn goes down at 140, Christa finally falls at 160 pounds - giving Morgan the win. Bad, bad, strategy. Back at camp, Trish turns the tribe against Rupert to vote out tonight. Huh? Oh, oh... the title of the show is "Me and My Snake" - if the snake died, will Rupert go as well? Sandra talks to Christa about the situation, and Christa alerts Rupert. Rupert talks to Shawn, forms a little alliance and then set their sights on Trish. Jon talks to Shawn and he plays along with the unsuspecting Jon. at Tribal Council, Trish Dunn, the 42-year-old sales executive from Annapolis, Maryland is voted-out 4-2.

Next week: Holy Crap! The former tribemates come back! And compete! It's "The Twist to end all Twists"!!!
