Night 27 and Eliza whines more about thinking she was the one to be booted
off.  Meanwhile, Chris tells Amy, Julie, and Leann that Scout and Twila had
tried to get Chad and he to vote off Eliza, then target Amy.  The dirty rat!  As
dawn breaks on Day 28, Leann is in full panic mode.  She first gets Twila to
confirm what Chris had said, though Twila adds that Scout was the instigator.

Reward Challenge time!  Jeff explains that this week's reward is a one-hour
on-line chat with a loved one.  He allows each to talk for one minute using a
webcam.  The loved-ones all have a peculiar background in their settings. 
Hmmm???  The challenge itself is 5 questions based on previous challenges.
The one with the most correct answers win.  I won't bore you with details on
the loved-ones, as we've seen it all before.  Eliza and Julie are tied after the 5th
question, and Eliza wins the tie-breaker.  Julie didn't even try.  Jeff then has a
surprise.  All the loved-ones are there on the island!  As he trots them out for
more tear-filled reunions, Jeff has another trick up his sleeve.  Eliza's mom will
get to spend the whole day with the gang.  A boat takes the rest away.  Does
anyone have any doubts that we'll see them again this episode?  After all, it is
Thanksgiving!

Eliza's mom is very much concerned about her daughter's physical health. 
She questions the food she is eating, the water, the bugs, the snakes, the fish,
everything.  Eliza tries to assure her that she is okay, though is often disliked
for her babbling mouth.  Meanwhile, Leann and Amy corner Scout for the Truth.
Scout lies!  Tells them that Chris is all wet and that she is loyal.  But Amy and
Leann aren't buying it, and Scout gets confirmation that she is no longer part
of the planned Final Four. 

Day 29 and the gang paints messages on coconuts and such for Eliza's mom
to take back to their loved ones.  Mom then strips to her bra, giving Eliza a
shirt with sleeves to keep her warmer.  Amy, Leann and Twila go off foraging,
and discuss the situation.  Twila swears 100% on her son's name that she is
with them 100%.  But Amy and Leann seem skeptical with Twila's 200%.

Day 30 and Julie tells Chris that he is on the chopping block.  He vows to do all
he can to win immunity.  Speaking of which, it's time for the Immunity Chal-
lenge.  Each will be paired with their loved-ones, who will be blind-folded and
then guide verbally by the Survivors to gather three sacks of puzzle pieces.
Once all three sacks are retrieved, the blindfold comes off and both work to
complete the puzzle.  Amy and her 'mate', Chrissy, are in the lead with Chris
and his fiancee, Lori, right behind them.  Chris is literally screaming at Lori,
I have to wonder if they will indeed marry.  The two teams get their pieces and
work feverishly to complete them.  Amy and Chrissy win.  As they all say their
goodbyes, Chris apologizes to Lori for yelling at her, and tells her he will be
going home tonight.

Back at camp, Amy & Co. debate who to boot.  Amy still wants to get rid of the
last man standing, Chris.  Leann has other ideas.  She is apparently tired of
Eliza's laziness and motor-mouth.  She argues that Chris has earned the right
to stay another 3 days.  Amy reluctantly agrees and Eliza becomes the official
target for the rest.  Julie runs straight to Chris and tells him the good news.  He
is amazed!  Twila then talks with him.  Scout wants to boot Leann and break
Amy's game-plan completely apart.  Since Chris is on good terms with Eliza,
he is to be the one to win her vote.  Chris talks with Eliza and tells her of The
Plan.  But Eliza is skeptical. 

Tribal Council and Jeff asks Chris about his desparate efforts during the Immu-
nity Challenge.  Chris admits he went overboard, but said he had told Lori that
his number was up unless he won.  Jeff moves on to Leann, who had the most
fun during IC with her sister.  Eliza sings another chorus about being the only
woman who brought her belongings.  Chris describes the tension in the tribe
as the women's aliance is fracturing.  It's time to vote.  Eliza gets the first 2
votes as Jeff counts them.  Then there's one for Leann.  Then a third for Eliza.
Jeff then deals Leann for straight aces.  Amy and Leann are in shock.  Chris
looks like the canary who ate the cat.  Even Sarge and Chad give each other
high-5's!  The Game has changed! 

SPOILERS:  Amy and Julie discuss how they were betrayed.  Chris gloats! 
More surprises await the castaways at the next challenge.
