Day 7
- Randy notices that they are running low on rice, they shouldn't be eating three meals a day. He asks everyone to compromise to two meals a day. CG notices they are even throwing some food away, but he still wants three meals a day. (Randy thinks CG is like a cancer and needs to go home.) CG asks Randy if he wants to be leader, Randy tells him no and to drop it. CG gets a little torked off and says he won't drop it.
- Dan thinks the tribe isn't unified and notices they are fighing amongst each other. (Private taping.)
- Charlie caught a fish! He thinks Bob may be used as a swing vote.
- Paloma tells Kelly that she doesn't like Ace, Kelly agrees.
- Sugar trusts in Ace and thinks that he'll take care of her as much as she can.
- Treemail: This head to head battle requires a well balanced team, to win some camp comfort, you'll kick and you'll scream.
- Ace doesn't feel bedding is all that important. Paloma gives him a nasty look.
- Today's reward challenge, one member of each tribe will be stationed at a post. Two members from the opposing team will remove the one player from their post and drag them across the finish line. Players can swap positions each round. First team to score points wins bamboo mats, blankets, pillows and a hammock.
- Fang has to sit out one man, it's Ken. Kota will set out Corrine, Jacquie and Kelly. (To make the man vs woman thing even.)
- Dan is first on the pole for Fang. Charlie and Marcus will try to get him off.
- Ace is on the pole for Kota. CG and Matty will try to get Ace off. Ace is acting like he doesn't have a care in the world, he even lets out a yawn.
- Marcus and Charlie have no problem getting Dan off the post. CG and Matty are having no luck getting Ace to move at all.
- Kota scores the first point.
- Ace asks Paloma to go next and gives her a few hints on how to stay on the pole.
- Bob and Sugar will try and get and Paloma from the pole in round two.
- Randy and Crystal will try and remove Susie from the pole in round two.
- Crystal and Randy are dragging Paloma on her head to the finish line.
- The score is tied, Crystal is pumped up and hollering.
- Ace is back on the pole, Crystal and Matty will try and get Ace off that pole.
- Dan is on the pole again also, Bob and Marcus will work to get the tie-breaking point.
- Ace and Dan are both holding on tight. The top half of Ace is off, Dan is also off the post. Dan's hanging on by one arm. Crystal and Matty are dragging Ace in the sand to the finish line. Dan is screaming at Crystal to hurry up because he can't hang on much longer. Fang wins their first reward!
- Crystal is in tears that they had to fight like warriors just to get blankets and pillows.
- Fang picks Sugar to go to exile. She tells everyone that she saw it coming.
- Fang is very excited as they make their way back to camp. Crystal is happy the other tribe had to feel the pain of losing a competition.
- Matty feels the tribe will be able to create a forward roll.
- Ace is telling Kota that it wasn't a loss, it was a strategic withdrawal. (Whatever! They got their butts kicked!)
- Paloma feels she had no chance against Crystal because of their size difference. Ace is rallying everyone against Paloma for losing faith and being negative. (They didn't show her being all that negative, I don't get it.)
- Exhile letter: You've arrived in exile, a lovely lonely place in this garden of Eden, a difficult choice you'll face. One choice provides an apple, one choice provides direction. Spend your time in idle comfort, or seek idol protection.
- Sugar picks the clue to look for the hidden immunity idol: Across the lake you see so well, there lies a dandy crater. The object hidden in its floor will surely help you later.
- Sugar spots an elephant through the bushes. She steps in ants, and is stripping down to her bra because of bugs.
- Sugar wanted to be on Survivor to help her grow up and help her deal with the loss of her father. (She's in tears.)
- She finds the crater, and is dumbfounded at how large it is. She moves a few boulders and finds a wrapped package. It's another clue: Now turn around, go back towards the lake. Find one tree hill and climb for salvations sake.
- She quickly finds the next clue: Walk along a yonder creek, beneath the burned wood is the thing you seek. Sugar wanders around for a while and finds another clue: Through creatures unknown you'll have to wade, among the limbs that reach skyward, your deliverance shall be made.
- She's talking to a statue about the clue. She picks a tree that looks like it has good hiding spots, but is scared to go in the water due to the lizards and creatures in the water. She makes it across with lots of squealing and fear. Sugar has found the hidden immunity idol!
-
Day 8
- Bob tells Ace that Sugar and Paloma are on the bottom of the list for him. Ace thinks Sugar will be loyal to them.
- Bob tells Corrine that Ace is protecting Sugar and that Ace wants to bring Sugar right to the end. Corrine thinks Ace wants to bring Sugar to the end because she's weak. Corrine mentions that Charlie, Marcus and Jacquie and as long as Bob feels the same way as them, they will be fine.
- Treemail: Slip, slide, splash and run. Stakes are high, but you'll have some fun. Who is bright, and who is slow? Know the difference or be the next to go.
- They get new swimsuits for the challenge.
- Sugar runs back to her tribe from exile island in tears.
- One at a time, each tribe member will head down a huge slip-n-slide into water and find a numbered tile. Once all six tiles are selected, the remaining member who didn't slide will use the tiles to solve a math puzzle.
- The math puzzle: The sum of both end values equals the sum of the middle two, the last is equal to the second minus the third and is one less than its only neighbors.
- They must put the tiles in order to get the correct answer, this will reveal a combination. First person to get the right combo and cut their rope to raise their flag will win team immunity.
- Kota will set out Sugar and Paloma.
- Bob and Ken are the puzzle people, everyone else will slide.
- Crystal and Kelly are the first to slide. Crystal hits her head pretty hard on the way down, but is first to get a puzzle piece. Fang has a huge lead off the bat. Corrine makes up time in the second round against Susie, it's neck and neck. Kota now has the lead!
- Ace is sliding and is showboating, flipping over twice as he goes down the slide. Ace keeps the lead Kota has.
- Kota has all their pieces, can Bob solve the puzzle in time?
- Fang has all their pieces, it's a physics teacher against a video game professional.
- Bob tries a combination, but is wrong. Ken's first guess is wrong also.
- They both think they have it now, but Ken gets it first.
- Fang wins immunity!
- Jeff hands Fang their immunity idol and says "This game is changing." Crystal thinks it's time Jeff gets to know the other tribe.
-
Day 9
- Sugar explains to Kota that you can't sleep in the hut if you want to look for the idol and tells them the clues aren't easy. She says that she read the clue wrong and got lost trying to find it.
- Sugar tells Ace that she has found the idol. Ace says "This is ours." She's very happy.
- Ace wants Paloma voted out tonight.
- After watching Ace in the water talking about voting her out, Paloma tells Corrine that Ace has made an alliance with everyone on their tribe. Paloma asks Corrine to keep her eyes open with the Ace/Sugar alliance.
- Corrine thinks that Ace's accent is fake. (Private taping.)
- Corrine tells Charlie that Paloma approached her and believes the reason Ace wanted Paloma on the pole instead of Sugar was to make Paloma look bad. Charlie agrees. Corrine wants Ace and Sugar out before the merge.
- Kota makes their way to tribal council for the first time.
- Jeff asks Corrine what she will base her vote on. Corrine wants everyone to make a decision together. Ace wants to strengthen the tribe.
- Jeff wants to know how Sugar handled exile island, she starts crying and says she got her strength from her dad.
- Matty thinks Ace is interesting and thinks they work well together. Paloma agrees that Ace has a big personality. Paloma refuses to do the whole "Ace is my hero thing." Ace thinks they have the capacity to rub each other the wrong way. Kelly thinks Ace is condescending in a way; when they are doing one thing, Ace always wants them to do something else.
- Jeff asks Ace if he is worried about being voted out after hearing Kelly and Paloma. Ace says he is concerned, Paloma interrupts and says "He must not be that concerned, he didn't bring his bag with him." Ace replies "There's nothing in that bag I want to take with me."
- Jeff wants to know if Ace and Paloma have been brother and sister in another life. Paloma replies "Maybe, 1,000 years from now, when I'm dead."
- Marcus is safe from tonights eviction.
- Time for everyone to vote.
- Paloma votes out Ace.
- Ace votes out Paloma.
- Paloma has been voted off of Survivor.
- Matty pretends to wipe a fake tear away.
- Stay tuned next Thursday. Randy feels Crystal, Kenny and CG are not "with" the tribe. The survivors must rank their tribe, the tribes will be divided and the game will turn upside-down.
- In her exit interview, Paloma says this was an amazing experience, but if Ace wins she'll never watch Survivor again.
