Night 27 and Sierra dodged a big bullet.  She lucked out thanks to the old
Jalapao tribe members, plus Erinn, deciding to boot off Tyson who has
dominated at the challenges.  JT tries to explain the decision to Coach and
Debbie, who feel blindsided.

Day 28 and Debbie tries to schmooze her way with JT and Stephen to be
the fourth member of the Final Four.  She's still assuming that Coach is
the solid Number Three member of the F4.  Debbie then chats up Coach
about regrouping the Timbira tribe into an alliance for the F4.

The Reward Challenge this week is our favorite ranking game.  All fill out
questionnaires about each other.  Jeff will then ask the questions and
players must write down the majority answer.  Those who guess right get
to machete one of three lines holding a large mallet over a ceramic figure
representing each player.  Once all three are cut, the mallet smashes the
figure and that player is out.  The reward is a visit to a local farm which
is near an unusual stream.  The winner gets to take two along for a feast
and send one to Exile Sand Dune.

This type of event helps show where everyone falls in line socially in
The Game.  During Round One, Sierra was the only person to get two
lines cut.  On the Second Round, she's out first, Debbie gets her second
line cut as well.  Round Three and Coach goes next, followed by Debbie.
Round Four claims Erinn and then JT.  Taj has one hit, Stephen zero.
Round Five and Stephen guesses correctly, cutting a second line against
Taj.  It's all over on the Sixth Round with Taj out and Stephen winning the
reward.  Stephen sends Erinn into exile and takes JT and Taj on the
reward with him.

The winners arrive at the farm and are greeted by the family who owns it.
A huge dinner of local foods are served.  The three-year-old daughter of
the family falls off her bench.  Taj picks her up and comforts her, causing
Taj to miss her own family.  After eating, the gang goes for a swim. You'd
think they'd know that they shouldn't swim after eating?  After some
water play, they settle down to a strategy chat and consider the merits of
booting off Sierra or Debbie.

At Exile Sand Dune, Erinn finds more clues for the idol already out of play.
She has trouble starting a fire which becomes pointless when it begins
to rain.  Erinn feels miserable with no food or water and now being wet
and cold.  Back at Camp Forza, Debbie brings up regrouping Timbira
with Coach and Sierra.  Sierra has no use for either and tells them both
so.  Debbie and Sierra bicker, causing Sierra to stomp off and sending
Debbie frustrated to tears.  Coach and Debbie plot to work on JT to
find out where they truly stand?  Weepy Sierra has plans of her own.

Day 29 finds Coach having a chat with JT.  They discuss booting Sierra
next, then Erinn, then Taj.  Coach tells JT about how Sierra tried to re-
group Timbira and that he, Coach, shut her down.  LOL!  Meanwhile,
Sierra tells Stephen all about how Debbie and Coach talked with her about
regrouping Timbira.  Stephen is worried that she may be telling the truth.
He joins Coach and JT and repeats what Sierra told him.  Coach tells
his side of the story again, but this time includes Debbie as a 'regrouper'.
LOL!  After Coach leaves, Stephen and JT ponder who is telling the
truth?

Day 30 and it's time for the Immunity Challenge.  It's raining as Erinn
rejoins the gang.  The event is a 2-part one.  The first three players to
retrieve three bags using a grappling hook move on to final round.  They
must then maneuver a ball through a tilt-maze, past holes, to the right
pocket to win.  Coach gets his three first, followed quickly by JT.  It
boils down to Stephen versus Debbie has each works on getting their
third bag.  Debbie gets hers across the finish line quicker.  During the
final round, Debbie has lots of trouble and goes nowhere.  JT and Coach
were even till JT was forced to restart.  But he caught up to Coach and
even passed him briefly.  Coach regains lead and wins immunity!  Sierra
plots to get Debbie booted off instead of herself.

Back at camp, Coach is very pleased with himself.  He feels very secure
with his 'Power Alliance'.  Sierra does her best to ruin his fun by calling
him a liar in front of everyone.  Coach retells his 2nd story (LOL!) and
Debbie actually backed him up!  This sends Sierra into hysterics and she
gets all weepy again.  Even Debbie cries due to all the drama.  Stephen
and JT chat and are now leaning towards believing Sierra's version.  But
JT is very tired of her drama queen ways.

A Tribal Council, JT says that The Game is getting very intense now.
Debbie adds that they're no longer a happy family.  Coach says that trust
is a big issue but he trusts his allies.  Sierra stirs the pot and calls Coach
a liar and retells her story all over again for Jeff.  Like he doesn't see the
rushes?  Coach defends himself stating that he has never lied and is
not some slimy coward.  Debbie tries to dispel concerns that she may
be a threat.  JT says that those playing a strong physical and social game
are the threats.  Stephen adds that at some point, everyone will get blind-
sided.

It's time to vote.  Jeff reads the ballots.  With two votes against Sierra and
one against Debbie, Jeff reads a vote against Stephen!  This changes the
demeanor of Stephen as he wonders who voted against him?  Jeff tallies
the rest, with Debbie getting two (Sierra & Taj) and Sierra getting four.
Jeff snuffs out her torch and we learn that Erinn was the one who voted
against Stephen.  The rest gave Sierra the boot.  Jeff says it's paranoia time!

SPOILERS:  Looks like there may be another auction of sorts with the
big prize messages from home.  Debbie tries to throw Coach under the bus.
