Night 12 and Yasur returns to camp after booting Bubba.  Rory is pissed off, as
Ami had told Bubba during Tribal Council that Bubba was not their first choice.
Had Bubba not done his bone-head move of trying to talk with Chris of Lopevi
during the Immunity Challenge, the Ladies would have booted Rory that night
instead.  Rory expresses his unhappiness, but says he won't go into it till to-
morrow.  Scout thinks he should get off his "pity-pot".

Day 13 and all is well and happy at Lopevi.  The men are rrreally happy to have
a couple of women around.  Twila and Julie go off foraging for food and chat
about how they must win challenges, or be sent packing.  Yasur Tribe checks
their tree-mail and receives word on the upcoming Reward Challenge.  The
Ladies do an All-For-One, but the mood is spoiled by Rory.  He makes his pitch.
Rory tells Yasur that when Lopevi sees that Bubba is gone and not him, they
will think he betrayed Bubba, which he did, and be persona-non-grata.  His only
hope to stay in The Game now is to cast his lot with Yasur.  He offers them his
loyalty, skills, etc, but asks to have a fair shake at the next Tribal Council. 

As the two tribes meet for the Reward Challenge, Lopevi is stunned to see that
Bubba is gone.  Sweet, lovable Bubba-bear is out of The Game.  More to come
on this later.  But first, it's time for some piglet-herding.  The object is to herd
10 piglets into a pen.  The piglets have a stripe painted on their backs denoting
which Tribe must capture them.  First to get all ten in their pen wins a feast of
6 thick steaks and 6 eggs, along with a skillet and spices.  Survivors Ready!!!
Lopevi starts with a slim lead, but Yasur keeps it close.  That is, until it's Eliza's
turn to grab a piglet.  Either she is truly daft, scared, or just didn't want to get
dirty in the mud.  The result is that she got no pigs.  Lopevi builds their lead to
8-4 when Sarge goes on the offensive and completes the Challenge.  Lopevi
wins, and marches back to camp triumphantly, with food!

Lopevi is happy!  They have steaks and eggs!  They have women!  They are
winning!  They are pumped and seem unstoppable!  The protein surge just
makes them more jovial and psyched-up.  As they chow down, the subject of
Bubba's boot comes up.  Twila and Julie both trash Yasur Tribe, complaining
that they should have booted Eliza instead.  The men agree.  Everybody loved
Bubba.  How could Yasur have done this?  Speaking of Yasur, they are bum-
ming.  The general attitude is that Eliza let them down.  She is their weakest
link.  Rory makes some noise along these lines.  Ami and Eliza chat.  Eliza
tries to blame the loss on Scout's insisting on being the 'gate-keeper' during
the challenge, a job that Eliza should've had.  Ami tells her to quit blaming
others and just suck it up, be ready for the next challenge.  Rory is happy and
tells Uncle Cameraman how he now has a crack in the women's alliance to
exploit.

Day 14 and Lopevi is still happy!  They celebrate their good fortune with a day
at the beach.  Julie decides to do some sun-bathing, ala naturale!  This makes
the men of Lopevi even more happy!  Even Sarge enjoys the view of Julie's
naked body.  Julie later tells Uncle that, sure, she's a flirt.  If you got it, flaunt
it!  Twila gets cozy with Sarge, who truly likes her.  He tells Uncle how he'd like
to do anything with Twila.  She's his kind of woman.  The two go foraging for
food and Sarge talks strategy with Twila.  He informs her that John K is the
next to be booted and offers her a spot on the Final Four with him, Chad, and
Chris.  She nods and accepts, but secretly has suspicions. 

Day 15 and it's time for the Immunity Challenge.  It's to be another Water Ob-
stacle course.  Each tribe must get 8 puzzle pieces of a tiki statue through
the course.  Four from each tribe are designated swimmers, the other two
remain on shore to assemble the puzzle once all pieces are gathered.  Chris
and Ami face each other first and remain very close with Chris only slightly
ahead.  Sarge and Rory the square off.  Sarge builds quite a lead as Rory has
some early difficulties, but then blows it all during a latter station requiring
deep diving.  For a short while, very short, Yasur has a slight lead.  Julie and
Leann then face each other.  Julie quickly regains the lead for Lopevi.  Leann
slows down.  She gets winded at the diving station of the course.  She cannot
go any further.  John K then wraps up the first phase for Lopevi, passing the
still struggling Leann.  Chad and Twila quickly assemble the tiki statue.  Lopevi
wins immunity!  Eliza swims to Leann and helps her ashore.

Yasur sulks back to camp.  They've lost four in a row now.  Things are not so
good.  Eliza and Leann comfort each other in their failures.  Scout is sympa-
thetic with them and offers her support.  Lisa asks Ami if she can go with her
to gather food.  Lisa says it might be a good idea for others to know where the
good stuff is.  Ami is puzzled by this remark.  Is Lisa implying that Ami is on
the chopping block?  They and Scout go into the jungle where Ami confronts
Lisa, and tells Lisa that she no longer trusts her.  Scout tries to mediate, but
the damage is done.  Lisa argues that they need to boot Eliza.  Ami says she'll
never vote off Eliza.  Scout tells Rory about this, and prompts him to have a
chat with Ami himself.  Ami tells Rory, don't worry, you're not going anywhere
tonight!  Rory is happy! 

Tribal Council and Jeff asks Scout about Yasur's losing ways.  Scout admits
that things look bad but they're still a team.  Leann apologizes for losing the
challenge and promises to do better next time.  The subject of voting based
on loyalty or strength is raised.  Everyone chooses loyalty.  Even Lisa, since
she thinks she's a loyal member of the women's alliance.  Rory says he's
loyal, but fears that tonight is his night to go.  It's tme to vote.  Lisa and Scout
cast their votes to boot Rory, but the rest vote off Lisa.  The mob has spoken,
don't mess with Ami!!!

SPOILERS:  Twila and Julie conspire on how best to handle the men of Lopevi,
while Rory chats up Ami about staying.  He knows who's running things now!
