Night time... volcano action. Night 33 - Alinta as the tribe arrives back at camp. Scout saying it is an incredibly beautiful night. Chris thought it would be a quiet, easy-going night but turns out Twila is stewing about Eliza said at TC. Twila says that Eliza keeps rubbing salt in the wound and she is sorry she made the statement and she is over hearing about it. She says they can all kiss her a$$. The only person she has to answer to is her son. Jules saying she is so glad Twila reacted the way she did because it makes her look bad. Eliza and Jules laying down and talking about how horrible Twila is being tonight. Eliza says if you can't live with your past actions, you shouldn't have done it. Alinta, Day 34. Twila still looks unhappy as Scout is pounding away at something. Jules whispers to Eliza that Twila is coming and now they are whispering about Twila holding a grudge for no reason. Chris tells the camera that he knew Twila was not doing a good thing, offending Julie and Eliza. He says she is taking a dangerous road for her game. Julie wants to know why it would be smarter to vote herself off instead of Twila and Eliza says she does not know. Eliza tells the camera that she would definitely make a deal with Julie. Julie now saying she has been working Eliza all day but it all depends on Chris because Eliza is depending on him.... Arrival at reward challenge. 2nd chance at challenges from the past. Mud pit. First 4 to get to other side go on... then pig pen. First 3 move on... Tiki puzzle, first 2 move to final round... They will race up and down balance beam to other side and use sling shot. Winners will take horse ride and go to Mt Yasur... Volcano viewing, hot dogs, wine or beer...spend the night there. Chris, Twila, and Eliza have a slight lead.... Julie is struggling but still ahead of Scout... Chris, Twila, Eliza, and Julie move on with Scout eliminated. Catch pig with orange stripe. Chris gets one. Julie and Eliza fighting for one. Juile has one... Chris is in, Julie has one... and Twila. Eliza is out. First two to get tiki put together. Have to untie knots, take puzzle apart and put it back together. Chris has all his pieces off. Julie has hers and Twila is right behind her. Chris thinks he has it but then stumbles over a piece and Jeff tells him is not right. Twila gets it and is moving on to final round. Julie gets it and she is into the final. Chris still missed a piece.... (dunno how has he stumbled over it). Julie has a lead and is first over balance beam. Twila still on the beam and behind. Julie getting her sling shot as Twila falls on the net and is hurt. Twila trying to catch up now... Ahh, they have to break 3 plates. Julie gets her 1st plate. Twila says, "Way to go Julie." Julie gets her 2nd plate and Twila gets her 1st plate. Julie says, "I'm winning this..." She gets her 3rd plate and she wins. Jeff asks who she is going to take with her and she comments, "Well it's ironic because none of these people would have taken me. I'm going to take Chris." He comes over and hugs her...

Back... Chris saying Julie picked him and they cleaned up after the challenge (they were all muddy) and they are arriving at the bottom of Mt. Yasur. They meet up with their guide, Joe, who is leading them on horseback. Chris' horse appears to be nervous and and doesn't want to cross the river. Julie says Chris looked so helpless out in the river and she just had to laugh. Chris says it took a while for him to build a trustful relationship with his horse. He says everything else was great, it was awesome just looking at everything on their way up. Scenes of them on their horseback, making their way up the mountain. They arrive and there is a hut with all their food. Their guide is showing them how to cook their food, on the steam vents from the volcano. Julie says she was in heaven after eating the hot dogs. Julie now talking with Chris and asking if he is a lot tighter with Twila now... Chris says no, not really. Chris tells camera that Julie really wants to stay in the game and he says that she worked it pretty good. He knows she wants nothing more than to stay in the game and he didn't say no. He agrees that the 3 of them could definitely turn the game around. Back to the camp. Twila lying down as Eliza asks her about the bananas she buried. Twila says she won't tell Eliza where she buried them and Eliza is disgusted about it. Scout tells her that Twila just doesn't want her to have them yet, she's saving them so that they all have something to eat for breakfast. Eliza walks away saying she is going to bury the rest and not tell them. She tells the camera that it has gotten to the point that they just can't hold back how they feel anymore. Twila commenting nthat it makes no sense for Eliza to act so childish as Eliza tells camera she is just so sick of Twila and wants her to go home. Night time and back to Mt Yasur. Joe is back and taking Chris and Julie up to watch the active volcano in action. Julie and Chris are amazed as they watch lava spitting up out of the volcano (very beautiful). Chris says it was amazing ... Julie says it is just like fireworks. They are all oohhing and aahhing over the volcano exploding. Chris says there is absolutely no experience in his life that he can compare it to and says he doubts he'll ever have another experience like this... They say goodbye and head off.

Chris and Jules arriving back at camp. Scout tells JB she just filled her water jug. Chris hugs Scout and assures her nothing has changed. Chris tells camera that right away when he came back, Scout hugged him and he knew she was thinking the same thing as him. So, he assured it nothing had changed. He then says that he also had to reassure Eliza since she gets paranoid. Eliza tells Chris to come talk to her for a sec. Chris tells her that everything is good, that Julie picked him for strategy reasons. Eliza asks if they are definitely voting Julie off and Chris says he doesn't know. He is worried that, no matter what, Scout will vote for Twila and Twila will vote for Scout. She points out that if Julie stays in the game, the 3 of them are assured a spot in the final four. He agrees and says he is open to that idea. He says that everything is good and they will just have to see how this immunity challenge goes and then figure it out from there. Arrival at IC. Chris gives necklace back to Jeff. Jeff is going to tell them a story about a legendary man and they will have to answer questions. Back in 1200s a man comes to land and his first goal was to unite all of the tribes, he accomplishes this goal. But the peace doesn't last long... not long after he was killed by his own brother. He was buried on a remote island with 18 of his warriors and their wives... they were to be buried alive with him. Roy Marta? The 18 warriors drank that drink they keep giving them - Kava ... to put them in a dream like state... Ugh. I missed what happened to the wives... I think they were slaughtered. Ok, they have to see how much they retain from the story. They have to go to huts and... darn I missed what htey will do. Something about going to the huts and pointing puzzle together to find question, they have to guess answer and see if they are right... they get a hook if they are right... Eliza has one right. Chris has one right. Julie has one right. Twila has one right... Scout gets her question wrong. (Oh, they close the way to the hut if they are at that hut.) Eliza is in lead with 2 but then Julie and Chris get 2. Eliza gets 3... Julie has 3 now. Eliza has 4 and so does Julie... they are dead even now. Race to get last one now.... Eliza has 5 and she wins immunity. Jeff puts the necklace on her and she says, "For the first time." He comments that it's a good time for her first time.

Julie do you really think the girls would give it to Eliza? I was thinking he needs to go with Twila since everyone is annoyed with her.

Back at camp now. Eliza telling camera it is a great feeling to win immunity and she'd like to win every IC from here on out. Eliza also tells camera that she thinks she, Chris, and Julie are going to shock the hell out of everyone and vote out Twlia tonight. She thinks it is going to be great. Chris talking with Twila and Scout as Eliza and Julie ponder whether they can trust him. They think they can as Chris assures Scout and Twila that the three of them are definitely going to the final 3. Chris tells the camera that he isn't sure what he is going to tonight... Chris talking to Eliza now and asking her, though he hasn't decided what to do now, will his alliance with her be affected if he decided to vote Julie out. Eliza agrees with that but points out that Scout and Twila will watch each other's backs so it isn't in their best interests to keep them together. Twila walks up as Eliza tells him this and over hears it. Twila and Eliza have it out about what Eliza was talking to Chris about and the fact that Eliza has been talking to Julie. Then Twila asks Chris what is up with him and he plays dumb. Chris tells camera he really doesn'tn know what he is going to do but he is greatly amused by everyone not trusting anyone. Chris talking to Julie now and telling her that he is going to keep her and vote out Twila... Julie hopes he's telling the truth and keeps her around, that's all she can do. Chris talking with Twila now... assuring HER that his decision has not changed at all. That he is sending Julie home tonight. Twila tells camera that she wants to believe Chris wholeheartedly but she just can't do it. She can't let her guard down. Scout and Eliza chatting. Eliza says it is nice to have immunity. Chris tells camera he told both Julie and Twila he was keeping them. He still doesn't know what he's going to do tonight. Arrival at TC. Brings in members of immunity. Jeff says a lot of wear and tear after 36 days. He asks if they've started thinking about who deserves to win this game. He asks Twila if she thinks if anyone here do not deserve to win the game...she says, "I dunno." And he asks again. She says he is being hard on her...and he asks again. The others just tell him what she thinks. She says yes and Eliza raises her hand and says it is her... Twila doesn't agree but she doesn't deny it. Meanwhile Eliza says she doesn't necessarily like it but she thinks that all of them deserve to be there or they wouldn'tn be here. Julie says she thinks she knows who she can trust and who she can't. Chris says it is the hardest vote yet. Eliza says she is going to keep immunity as Scout jokes with her to give it to Twila. Scout - Julie (says some nonsense about rediscovering her roots) Eliza - Twila (says she has wanted to get rid of her since she met her and can't believe it has taken 36 days for it to happen) Don't show Chris' vote but we hear him say, "It's tough but I gotta play the game." Jeff off to tally!!! (hehe) yada yada yada - leave tribal area... Julie - 2 Twila - 2 Last vote.... 14th voted out... Julie. Eliza is SHOCKED. She covers her face and watches Julie go... Eliza looks at Chris and he looks down as Julie walks off. Jeff says they have made it to final 4. Sends 'em back to camp.

Haha, good point Dipo... he definitely needs to try and go with Twila because people are not going to want to vote for her in the end. He needs to get Eliza out now, wonder if her shock shows she realizes that. Next immunity will be very important to her. Those challenges just showed that Scout and Twila are going to have a tough time with the last challenges.

Next time on Survivor - CBS Survivor on Sunday... 2 breathtaking hours!! Gah! Julie's words, paraphrased: "Here I am, it's day 36. I'md one. A little bit of a surprise. I thought Chris and I had a bro/sis relationship... He told me 100% he was going to vote Twila out... I dunno if he changed his mind at the last minute..."

Hmmm - so why did Chris chose now to be the pivotal vote instead of lying low? And why did he chose now to alienate Eliza? I'll have to think through this tomorrow at work, I'm got too much to do tonight

I think Chris did what he had to. If he had voted off Twila, she and Scout would never have voted for him at the end. Julie knew it was a long shot, and he probably didn't have her vote before anyway. The only way Julie could stay without Chris alienating Scout/Twila was if she won immunity. Then he would have had to choose between Twila and Eliza. Plus, Twila, Scout and Eliza are all so disliked, he has a better chance against any of them in F2, than he did against Julie. If you keep switching alliances, you just tick off too many people and it's hard to win first place. He can't really alienate Eliza. Who's she gonna team with? Scout or Twila? Never happen.
