The men of Chuay Ghan decide to swim to the next island to find their lost boat - they don't find it. This time there's no footage of the boat by the production crew, so it may be actually gone by now. The reward challenge, a game of slingshots shooting balls into the air to be caught by team members using wicker baskets, was won by Sook Jai. They get a feast with music and dancing. The immunity challenge was a game of 21 Flags, and Chuay Gahn won. Now, I've skipped over a lot of things, most of which have to do with Robb - excessive banana eating, arguments, and a final epiphany in the dark after losing the immunity challenge that maybe there was more to life than a paycheck. Apparently, the tribe thought that now that he has finally grown-up, it's time to send the boy home. By unanimous vote, Sook Jai votes 23-year-old Bartender (and skateboarder) Robb Zbacnik from Scottsdale, AZ off the island. Next week: Time to merge the tribes - or is it???
