Shocking! Simply Shocking!

So, the new Balboa tribe wakes-up after their first Tribal Council. Rupert tells Lil that she's a Drake, not a Morgan and he actually talks her up and pumps her up a bit - something she has sorely needed. Burton and Ryan O. also talk. A lot of strategizing, which you would expect out of a new tribe. Burton goes fishing and spears a ray. It turns out that this stingray shocks Burton. Rupert comes over and, sure enough, it shocks Rupert! It's an electric ray of some sort! Cool! They eat it anyway. (As Rupert says, it's "a high voltage meal".) Rupert talks about enjoying being able to feed the former Morgan tribemembers. Balboa goes to their first individual Reward Challenge. It's a typical slingshot challenge (hitting plates with marbles), and they're playing for a complete breakfast meal. Rupert wins the challenge, but in typical Rupert style, since Burton gave him his immunity at Tribal Council last night, he gives the reward to Burton. Burton gets to take a partner to the meal. You can hear Rupert under his breath say "Take Lill" and he does. Well, I guess she's a fellow Outcast, so it sort of makes sense.

The next morning, Burton says he's not thinking about is Drake tribe any longer - he wants to win this for the Outcast tribe, and he has no loyalty to Christa, Sandra and Rupert. Burton and Jon talk about getting rid of Rupert. (What? Ye bastards! Not the Spirit of The Pearl Islands!) The boat picks-up Burton and Lill for breakfast. Over the huge breakfast spread, Burton pumps Lill to get rid of Rupert and Lill, basically, pledges her undying allegiance to Burton. Back at camp, Christa and Sandra and talking about the same thing - getting rid of Rupert. Sandra then gets Tijuana and Darrah and they go for a walk. Back at breakfast Burton is still working Lill that Burton, Lill and Jon will be the top 3. (ed: gag)

There's a discussion about how lazy the Morgan tribe is. Christa says they just lay around. Tijuana thinks the Balboa tribe works a "great deal more than is necessary." It's time for the Immunity Challenge. It's a local pirate lore test. Correct answers earn the players coconuts, which they then place in a bin in front of another player. When a player gets 5 coconuts in their bin, they're eliminated from the challenge. Though everyone seems to have talked voting out Rupert, they concentrate on other players in the game and Rupert wins Immunity.

Ryan O. gets the feeling he's the one that is going at Tribal Council tonight. He tries to swing a 5-on-4 vote with Darrah and Tijuana and maybe work Jon & Burton. Christa talks to Jon about voting Burton off (obviously without knowing about Jon and Burton's alliance). Jon says it should be Ryan. Burton joins them and concurs. Jon in an interview says he will stab anyone in the back if it benefits him. (I totally believe him. Such a prick.)

At Tribal Council, Balboa votes-off Ryan Opray, the 31-year-old electrician from Los Gatos, California by a 8-1 vote.
