It's Night 8 and Foa Foa (FF) returns from Tribal Council. Jaison is happy he got Ben booted off. But the whole experience is draining him. He is tired, hungry and mentally worn out. In the morning, he and Evil Russell chat and walk along the beach. Russell thinks Jaison is taking The Game too personal. He can no longer trust Jaison. Let the plotting begin!
Day 9 and we find things normal at Galu Tribe. Remember them? The tribe that wins everything? We've seen little of their smiling faces the last 3 episodes. Shambo would like to see even less. She enjoyed her time with Foa Foa. She'd like to switch or merge now. Erik meets her privately in the jungle, hoping to get idol clues. He promises to protect her if he finds the idol he believes is hidden somewhere in their camp. John wanders over and also brings up the idol clues. Shambo shares with both. She hopes her strategy works. Uh-huh!
It's tree-mail time. Both tribal leaders are ordered to select one man and one woman to travel with them to a map location. They will compete for food. Russel of Galu takes Shambo and Dave. Mick takes Russell and Natalie. Both groups arrive on a lonely beach. Where's Jeff??? He's nowhere to be found. I guess Jeff figures Galu is going to win anyway, so why bother? LOL! They do find a treasure chest and a cage holding three chickens. Not knowing what to do, both groups start to grab the loot. But Dave finds a note in the chest.
It's Survivor Bocce ball! The chest has a bunch of colored balls, yellow and purple, and a flag. Each player gets three balls to toss at the flag. The tribe with the ball closest at the end wins the chickens. Mick and Russel square off first. Mick gets two balls very close to the flag. Then the ladies match throws, but no change. Foa Foa is actually winning! Russell and Dave now throw their balls. Russell's third ball comes really close to the flag and is now the best shot. Dave has one ball left. He takes his time and aims well. SUCCESS!!! Dave's ball lands butt-up against the flag! Galu wins again!!!
Meanwhile, back at Camp Galu, Erik decides to search for the idol. The rest are away or snoozing, so he pokes around trees near the camp. Erik thinks that the same clues apply, it's inside a hollow tree. John notices Erik's activities as he lays in a hammock. Erik climbs up a short tree and sure enough, he finds the idol!!! The winners return with the hens. Russel appoints country girl Shambo as Chicken Mistress. Back at Foa Foa, a storm hits, dampening their losing spirit more. Russell decides to dump Jaison as his foil for the Final Two and recruits Natalie to take his place. Natalie is thrilled. Russell tells her she has it made!
Day 10 at Camp Galu and Shambo checks the hens. They laid one whole egg. LOL!!! When she opens the crate to get it, one bird flies the coop. She and Erik chase after it. Erik gets clothes-lined by the clothes-line! LOL! The chicken flies up and finds the top of a tree. Shambo is sur- prized chickens can fly. Russel shakes his head. It is a bird, don't ya know! Galu gives up. Shambo tries to play down the missing hen and play up the single egg. Yyyyyeah, Rrrrright!
Day 11 at Galu and Kelly is busy hacking at coconuts while Yasmin watches. Even watching is too much work for Yasmin, who leaves to grab a nap. Kelly shares the coconut milk with others. They are fed up with Yasmin's laziness.
It's time for an Immunity Challenge. Tribes will race across nets while carrying blocks. Once all are across, they will stack the first set of blocks. Once accomplished, they will then race across a rope bridge. Once all are across, the tribes may untie and open two sacks of blocks, then stack them. First to stack the 2nd batch wins.
Both tribes are dead even across the nets. Galu works better together and they finish their stack first. Galu has a lead as John flies across the rope bridge. Yasmin helps build their lead. But Foa Foa starts to gain ground. Especially once Monica loses much of Galu's lead. Russell closes in as Brett crosses. Both tribes are nearly even as they go for the sacks. Galu proves to be faster untying them. Foa Foa keeps it close during the final stacking. Kelly then drops two of her final blocks and Foa Foa surges ahead. Foa Foa WINS!!! Their first Immunity victory!
Back at camp, Russel is mad at Monica. He blames her for their defeat. He begins to talk up booting her with others. Dave and John think that Shambo or Yasmin would be better choices. Speaking of which, Yasmin tells Shambo the reason she does nothing around the camp is so she won't be blamed for any mistakes, like letting a chicken escape. Ooooh! That's cold! Erik talks with John and Kelly about booting Monica, but they have made up their minds to boot Yasmin. Erik tells Russel, who is livid. He tries to pitch booting Monica one more time.
At Tribal Council, Shambo tells Jeff it sucks that they lost. John throws Yasmin under the bus for doing nothing around camp. She defends herself and claims to be very competitive during challenges. Yasmin also flirts with Jeff, telling him she wore her hooker heels just for him. Ewwww! Russel voices keeping the tribe strong for challenges. Yasmin backs him up, of course. She then throws Monica under the bus for losing the IC. Dave says his vote is based on what's best for the tribe. Lauren says her vote is based on what's best for the camp. It's time to vote. Monica gets two votes from Yasmin and Shambo. The rest give Yasmin the boot. Jeff warns them to get their momentum back.
SPOILERS: It's our old favorite classic challenge, the Survivor Gross Food contest. A nasty storm hits and keeps raining for two days. Both
