Night 7, and Yasur Tribe returns after a grueling day.  Mia has just been voted
off.  Eliza, who had betrayed her Gal-pals the previous Tribal Council, starts an
argument with Lisa, who betrayed them this time.  Lisa's answer is simple, she
doesn't trust Eliza at all.  Scout has had enough of listening to them bicker. 
She proclaims, "My enviroment has been polluted."  Twila, ever the realist, tells
the gang that the real purpose is to function as a team and beat the men.

Day 8 and speaking of men, Chip and Rory have a chat about Tribal Council.  It
seems that people keep voting for Rory.  He is getting worried, but Chip asures
him that all is well, the Alliance of the Elders is in tact.  Brady is worried, too.
His allies keep getting booted.  So he decides to give the Hawaiian sling a try
and goes off shore to fish.  John K is feeling the heat as well.  Both of them are
now hopelessly outnumbered.  Brady returns catching a couple of small fish.
And I mean SMALL!!!

The ladies gather for tree-mail.  A Reward Challenge is pending.  On the way
back to camp, they spy a rainbow.  A omen for good fortune?  A group hug
unites them for the task ahead.  Today's event is a Memory Game.  15 pairs
of items are hidden under bamboo cones.  The first tribe to match five wins a
day with Da'h!  Da'h knows all there is about surviving on Vanuatu.  The lovely
and sweet Ami makes the 1st match.  The women get 3 more in a row from
Eliza, Julie, and Leann.  Sarge finally puts the men on the board, followed by
a 2nd match by Chad.  But it is too little, too late.  Lisa strolls along with the 5th
and winning match.  The women win a MAN!!!

And what a man he is!  Da'h wastes no time as he paddles is outrigger to Yasur
Beach.  The ladies had gathered to greet him, but small talk is not Da'h's forte'.
He immediately sets off gathering food.  Da'h shows the ladies all that is edible
within walking distance.  He is a man on a mission.  His purpose is clear. 
Da'h next instructs the women on proper methods for openning coconuts and
other useful techniques.  Then, Da'h cooks up a tasty meal for all.  He even im-
proves their shelter with a bamboo bedding to make sleep more comfortable.
What a guy!  Magnifete!

Back at Lopevi, the men are sour.  Instead of Da'h, they have Bla'h, in the form
of Travis, aka Bubba.  Bubba is down.  Bubba is moody.  Bubba is homesick.
He misses his family.  He probably misses a cold beer, too!  Rory attempts to
council Bubba, pointing out how weak he appears.  Bubba points out to Rory
how nobody seems to like him! 

Day 9 and Da'h must go.  But not before fetching some fresh crabs for break-
fast.  As he paddles away, the ladies serenade him with song.  Scout and Twila
are in tears.  The rest are also emotional.  Da'h was probably the only real man
any of them will ever meet in their lives!  Speaking of men, well, males anyway,
Brady attempts to stir up some trouble amongst the Elders.  Rory decides that
he can fish, too.  After a few minutes of practice with the sling, he beachcombs
along the shore, looking for the big ones.  I guess nobody told him that the big
fish don't usually throw themselves on the beach?  Rory does not want to get
his feet too wet.  Brady warns him not to damage the spear, but Rory pays no
heed.  Brady then chats up his work-buddy, Sarge.  Lea seems to agree with
Brady that Rory is worthless.

Immunity Challenge time!  It's our old friend, the Tile Puzzle!  Each tribe must
turn over the tiles and arrange them such that no color or image is repeated
in any row or column.  One player from each team guides the rest atop a perch.
Rory and Eliza are the guides.  As the event begins, Rory is immediately ig-
nored.  Sarge takes control of the action on the ground with Brady encouraging
him.  The result is disorganization.  Rory makes one attempt to get them to fol-
low some logical order, but it fails.  The women started off not much better,
but Eliza listened to Rory and got her team to function properly.  The ladies
win!  They sweep the cycle, taking the momentum away.

Back at Lopevi Beach, Rory is generally blamed for the loss.  He's feeling the
heat as Brady makes a move to get Sarge to switch alliegences.  Chip is also
concerned.  He has a plan and wants it executed in sequence.  Bubba works
on John K, advising him that with Rory being a jackass, it would be a good idea
for him to follow the leaders and maybe avoid a boot next time.  Meanwhile,
Brady's efforts seem to be paying off.  Sarge is seriously thinking of switching.
He'd like to keep Brady around.

Tribal Council and Jeff goes on the offense against Rory.  Pointing out all the
previous votes, and the poor showing at the Immunity Challenge, Jeff chides
Rory into paranioa.  Jeff then questions each about the lack of team work and
whether or not some people are playing the individual game too early?  Brady
thinks so and he's not happy about it.  He wants to get rid of the weaklings and
make the tribe stronger.  Chip thinks he can schmooze the women as easily
as he has schmoozed the men.  It's time to vote.  Brady votes to boot Rory,
"Third times charm", he says.  Not so!  Everyone, including John K, votes off
Brady.  Is the Lopevi Tribe finally unified?

SPOILERS:  It looks like The Merge.  It also looks like an volcanic eruption and
earthquake may disrupt The Game as well.
