Headed back to camp. Chris says it was the toughest TC he's ever been too... tells everyone it's because Sarge asked him to vote for him and then tells him that he did vote for Sarge. He then tells camera that Sarge did NOT tell him that but he wants to get close to the women and try to get as far as he can. Alinta, Day 25. Someone putting on shoes and socks. Looks like it was Scout. Tells one of the girls that she can use her pillow. Scout tells the guys that she has a plan to keep them in the game - she's upset that Julie has taken her place in the final 4 in the women alliance so she now she wants to work with the guys. She wants to get out Ami because she's a strong player and manipulative. Twila says they have mail. They will bring pig to challenge... some will push, some will dig... today they will see how much their little piggy is worth. Reward Challenge. Ami carrying pig. Jeff hands them a buff for the pig and Chris puts it on him. Name is Piggy. Jeff asks if it has been nice to have company and they say, no, not when you want to eat the company. Split into two groups. One person on each team will have hands tied and others will be responsible for getting that person through a course and all 4 to the end. The winning 4 will get taken somewhere... (sorry, missed that) - when they go, they will bring the pig since it is customary to bring. Julie sacrificial lamb for her team. Eliza sacrificial lamb for her team. Teams: Eliza, Chris, Chad, Ami Teams: Julie, Twila, Twila, Scout Eliza through first obstacle but stuck in the ropes at the hitching post. Julie finally through first obstacle. Jeff says Eliza's belly will have some marks from the way they are manuevering up and over the obstances. That team now onto third obstacle. Julie's team now on to third obstacle, have made up some time. Julie doing her best to help them in getting her over the obstacles. Eliza on to next obstacle and they are through it. Julie also through next obstacle. Race to get through the roap maze at the end. Eliza's team as the lead as Julie's team hurries to catch up. Chris and Chad doing a lot of work to lift Eliza through the maze parts. Eliza is through. Eliza, Chad, Chris, and Ami win! Overnight visit... Jeff sends them off. Julie is upset that they lost because it was a lot of work.

On plane to destination. Ami comments they couldn't have gone any further from civilization. Chris says none of them knew what to expect. Chris hands the chief their pig. The tribe gives them a pig back. Women of the tribe put necklaces around their necks. They are all sitting on a bench while the tribe dances and chanting. Ami says it was amazing to watch them because they don't use any instruments, they just use their voices, clap their hands, and stomp their feet. Ami says it was amazing and was like something out of a book. Chief asks them if they want to dance and Ami says that sounds great. They are now dancing with the tribe. Now it is time for Kava Ceremony. Chris is nodding and agreeing. All are now drinking bowls of kava. (They had that in the first episode, yes?) Eliza says it kinda tastes like mud, milk, and vodka. Almost immediately her mouth felt numb. Chad is a little intoxicated from the kava. He can barely stand or walk and he's holding on to Chris' shoulders to keep his balance. Chad going to sit down. Tribe member takes him to a hut and Chad is lying down. Chris watches the tribe making their food. Eliza says that they were expecting something cooked for their feast but what the tribe makes them is not cooked all the way. Ami says it was not something she is used to and she makes a comment to Eliza about it (missed the comment). The children are singing them a song "they learned for the Americans". Chris, Ami, and Eliza singing with them. -commercial-

Interesting. Does it seem to you that Eliza is ungrateful or am I just projecting that on her??? LOL Excellent job Raen!! Thanks so much for spoiling.

Alinta, nighttime... rainstorm. Scout builds up the fire to help keep it going in the rain. Big storm happening. Someone says it has been raining forever and Scout says everything is soaking wet and it'll be a miracle if they keep their fire. Leann says this is the worst night by far. (She must have cursed because she suddenly said, "And I don't care if we can't swear!!") All miserable and just want the storm to go away. Morning time... looks like some dolphins or other mammals out in the water. Scout telling the camera that it was just a miserable night. Scout tells the other girls that they should get rid of Eliza and just keep the guys around. She tells the camera, "And, then, the game changes." They are all talking about it about now. Someone says they think Ami will be on board with them. Scout says the guys will vote with them because otherwise one of them is going. Scout and Twila talking to Chris/Chad about whether they had to sleep outside and Chris says yeah they were in a hut during the night. Eliza tells the camera that, "they couldn't be less pleased to see us." Ami also tells them that seeing the kids was the best part and she tells camera that there was no welcome for them when they got back. Ami says she can tell something changed while she was gone, that Julie won't look her in the face so she is worried about what happened while she was gone. Scout telling Chad the plan to get Eliza off - they need to stop Eliza from getting immunity. Then, once Eliza is gone, they'll get Ami off next. Chris telling camera that there has been a change, that the women are NOT tight. He says the women come across cocky and that has gotten to Scout so now she's turning on them. Raining again as tribe heads to Immunity challenge (posting)

Ami gives up immunity necklace to Jeff. Climb up ladder onto a post. They must hang on as long as they can. When feet touch ground, they are out. Last person hanging on wins... All climbing up now and grabbing onto the post. Everyone on now... Jeff says, "And we are on..." Twila having a little diffculty and Ami loses her grip a little bit. Twila slides a bit but then finds new footing. Julie is sliding down and then finds some rope to put her feet on. Twila having trouble but trying to find a way to grip the post. Julie falls off and is first one out. Eliza looks determined to not give. Ami starting to slip, holding on with her fingertips. Suddenly Chris slides and then is out. Scout slides and then is out. We see clouds... seems to indicate some passing of time. Ami slides and then is out. Eliza starting to slide and suddenly falls off. Down to three. Twila biting the rope, Chad starting to slip a little but struggling to hang on. Leann slides a bit and then finds a new foothold. Twila trying to climb up a bit but slides some more... All struggling ... Leann suddenly falls and is out. Twila and Chad are the last two. Twila tells him to go down.. .whispering it. (Not saying it as a 'deal' more just willing him to fall.) Chad falls off and Twila wins. Others clap. Jeff sends 'em back to camp.

Dipo - not sure about Eliza. I do think she was somewhat ungrateful about the food but, honestly, I'm picky about food and I'd have been the same way probably. She did seem to enjoy the rest of it. Not sure why any of them expected a warm welcome, though. I think the others just had a bad night in the rain or they might have been a bit nicer once they got back. Anyway - so, yes, you are probably projecting a bit but she certainly wasn't as into it as Ami - or they didn't show us that she was.

Ami asks if they are voting for Eliza tonight and Scout says yeah. Scout says you just have to try and keep the fire going for one night to appreciate the guys. Ami says she's done it before, though. She says she is scared to see one of the girls go before the guys. Ami tells camera that she is not seeing eye to eye with Scout at all. She does not want to see the strong guys stick around and take the game home in the end. Ami talking with Leann and Julie. Ami thinks they should get a guy out instead (I think she motioned to Chad but I'm not sure). Leann and Julie say they are just not sure either. Ami really doesn't want Eliza to go tonight. Scout comes over and tells Chad that she just isn't sure what the women are going to do tonight but she is definitely going to vote for Eliza to go. Chad goes to check with the others in their 'voting block' to see if they are all on the same page. He asks Twila if she knows what is going on and she says she has no idea. Twila goes to ask Ami what is going on tonight, says she just needs to know. Ami says she is not the person to ask, that there is just one person to ask. Twila then goes and asks Leann and Julie what they are doing. Says she does not like Eliza but she'll do what they want. Twila now talking to Scout about what to do. Says that Scout has Ami asking a bunch of questions now but that the other girls are not going to vote for Eliza. She just knows it. Scout tries to find out what Twila is going to do but she says she's not going to anything right now. Twila tells camera she feels stuck in the middle and that she's screwed either way (haven't we heard this before??). Twila would rather Ami not be in charge but she doesn't know if that is going to happen. TC: Jeff brings in 1st member of jury, Sarge. Jeff says weather has changed. Asks Leann if weather changes anything at this point in the game. Leann says she is not good in the rain and is afraid she'll freak out and not be able to handle it. Jeff asks if Chris thinks his and Chad's stock has gone up and Chris says of course it has crossed his mind. Asks Chad something who says he and Chris have come up with a thousand different plans to weazel out of their predicament. Scout says of course the guys have talked to her and she thinks they've talked to everyone and the others girls deny this... Eliza says hearing that makes her nervous. She's not sure if that one night changed everything. Twila says she doesn't know who she can trust or not. Jeff says Ami is shaking her head and has a smug look on her face. Ami says she thinks that is such bullsh*t, that she definitely knows who she can trust and that she, herself, can be trusted. Ami votes for Chad. Chad votes for Eliza. Chris also votes for Eliza. Twila votes last but we don't see the vote. Jeff off to tally! Blah blah decision final, asked to leave immediately. Eliza - 2 Chad - 5 Chad voted off. Scout covers her face with her hand. Chris looks pissed, watches him walk off and then bows his head. Jeff says with only one man left the women must be starting to wonder where they fall in the pecking order -- suddenly that one man may become more valuable. Sends 'em back to camp.

Ok, I have to say that I would have picked off Chris before Chad. Chris is the one who has shown he has an ability to be sneaky and Chad was more likely to have trouble with an endurance comp if he made it to the end.

Well, darn, just when I think the girls are getting smarter they go back to stupid. I agree Raen, it would have made more sense to get rid of Chris. Now the girls are stuck and they can't really make a move against Ami. Really having stupid play this time.

Next time: Chris telling Eliza that Scout and Twila came to the guys and wanted to form an alliance. The girls then confront Scout. Oops - they started Chad's talking while showing the votes?? Is that normal? Sorry, I missed it. He said something about not knowing how the women did it (turned Scout and Twila around) and then says he's not sour.

My pleasure Az I agree about Ami, Dipo. In fact, they all would have been much smarter to try and get her and not Eliza out this week. Julie and Leann wouldn't have wanted to do that, though, since they know they are not as close to Twila and Scout as Ami.

This gender thing is getting old, but the season was set up for this when they split the genders the first day and treated them differently. It's just the same old boring Pagonging going on And thanks a bunch for the spoiling!!!

everyone is very welcome Now I'm off to watch The Apprentice and do some work. See everyone next week! (Did that preview say next week?? I didn't think about it being Thanksgiving here in the US. I'll be home by that time, though, so I'll definitely be here.) ETA: For those who won't be around, have a lovely Thanksgiving!!

Thanks again for spoiling! And, according to my TV Guide, next week there IS a new episode of Survivor on. Cool! Pig out on all the fixin's and then hunker down for one of my fav reality shows! Raen, once again, you're the best. I've had to work most of the past 3 weeks, and taking a quick break to get an update -- yours -- definitely helps! Bellinis!

I really want someone like Scout or Ami taken out next week. This OBVIOUS angle is boring me, and making for one of the worst seasons ever!! God, Eliza, if you KNOW the women don't like you, why don't you DO something about it, and team up with the guys to vote one of the alpha-women off? I don't see why people don't act on what they know? Why is she so loyal to the same girls who are going to vote her out in two weeks time. The lame "is there a crack in the female alliance" preview is getting old too. GRRRRR!!!

If there is a true female alliance, why don't they put Chris in the final two. There will be only two men voting and the women can all vote for the last woman. I bet Ami works it to be in the final two with Chris.

Dogdoc, I think the answer to your question has to do with money. If they vote all the guys off, there are 3 men on the jury--and that would make 4 women--with 2 women in the final 2. If, as you say, there is a true female alliance, then two women would get 1st and second place if they voted that gender line. No use giving a guy the 2nd place money if they are going strictly by gender.

Ami probably would like to be in the final two with Chris, but in order to keep the women's votes, she'd have manage to get them voted off without making anyone mad. Doesn't seem like any of the women is going to say, Oh fine, Ami, you can be number one ... I'll just accept being voted off and then I'll vote for you.
