Tom said he was relating the rules of the game with respect to tie. He was saying that the purple stone person goes home. It sounded like new rules that they know about.

It would be odd to have a different situation post merger, I would think. Jenna said that for the allstars the tie break was in their contracts, so maybe they could change it for the later part of the game. This one sounds exciting.

Excellent spoiling Raen and Seabreeze.

Haha... I must have had the day wrong earlier - sorry about that, wasn't logically thinking that it couldn't be day 11. Tree mail. It's about Immunity. Something about challenges of the past. Ian points out that a lot has to go right today for their plan to work.

Jeff welcomes them to IC. Immunity back up for grabs. Survivor elimination style challenge. First people to finish each section will go on to the next round. Sorry - he's saying the difft challenges too fast... all challenges they've done in the past.

First up: first 5 to finish move forward... net juggle gym. Tom, Gregg, Ian, Jenn, and Katie are moving on to next round. Caryn is out.

Must assemble seastar puzzle. They all start and working away... Ian is done. Tom is done. Gregg is done. Jenn finishes. Katie is out.

Now must eat the balut. Not sure what that is ... I vaguely remember this before. Gregg and Jenn bringing up the rear. Tom finishes as does Ian. Jenn has the third in her mouth as Gregg has all three in his... Jenn does it and Gregg is out. Tom and Ian share a relieved glance.

Ahh, must get their flag out of a box and string it up the pole. All working quickly. Ian and Tom are very close with Jenn falling behind. Ian and Tom have their flags out... Tom moving on and Ian moving on. Jenn is out.

Shooting targets - must get three targets out. Ian up first. He gets one. Tom up now - he misses.

Ian has his second target. Tom misses again despite nicking his target. Ian up next and he gets the target. Ian wins Immunity. Jeff puts the necklace on him and says it should be a fun afternoon back at camp. Sends 'em back.

So... if the drawing of the purple stone is how they break ties now, how does it affect immunity? Tom and Ian made it sound like everyone EXCEPT the two people involved in the tie have to draw a stone but what about the person who is immune?

I remember people having this same conversation (about drawing a stone) in the past so maybe it is always the way they break ties after a merger but that really doesn't make sense to me. What's so different about a merged tribe that calls for new rules on a tiebreaker?

The Ulong tribe never faced the purple rock BECAUSE someone changed their vote on the second try. If after the second vote, it's still a tie, THEN they go to the purple rock.

Good questions, Raen. I don't remember exactly how it works but I thought they all had to pull for the rock except the Immune one. The only time I remember it is with pascal and I thought that him, neva ( or whatever her name was) and the other person had to pull, and then he was gone. Only Vecepia didn't pull since she had immunity. At least that is how I think I remember it!!!! LOL, not sure.

Dipo that is how it worked. That episode nobody changed their vote and it was still a tie, so Pascal, Neleah, and Kathy had to draw the rocks. If I remember correct Pascal wasn't even one that had the tie vote, it was Neleah and Kathy. And poor pascal drew the purple rock.

Tom says the gun kills him. He tells Ian that it's fair and it's up to him to take a chance. Tom says that it's better to take a risk instead of sitting back and being picked off.

Tom and Ian assure Gregg it is a no-brainer who is going home tonight. Gregg is relieved to come back to camp and realize that no planning went on behind his back. Meanwhile Ian tells the camera that Caryn is winning an academy award, that everyone is so sure that Caryn is going home.

Gregg and Jenn feel so good to not have to worry about tonight. Ian is now talking to Katie in the woods... he tells the camera that he didn't lie to her or her bro-in-law, he won't vote for her. Ian now tells Katie that he and Tom have decided to take out Gregg... they are flipping it. Katie can't believe it. She's annoyed by it because she was in a good place - she tells him it is crap that he and Tom just made a decision and are not giving her a choice.

Jenn checks with Tom that nothing funny is going on and Tom says no, it's obvious who is going tonight.

Katie says she has to make a decision that is best for her. Off everyone goes to TC.

In comes the jury... Jeff asks about the reward challenge. Says it could be good news or bad news. He asks Gregg if it was a good thing and he says yeah it was a great experience but he did feel bad to leave behind 3 tribe members.

Jeff asks Caryn about being first out in the reward challenge and she says that she thinks the felt resentment about her winning other challenges too many times. He says how can it just mean that when she watched Gregg ask Jenn for permission about what to do... they laugh but Jeff insists it must mean something. Jeff asks Jenn about the relationship between her and Gregg. I missed her answer but Gregg says that he hopes the others see that he just wanted to spend some time with her and it wasn't malicious on his part.

Caryn says she always feels vulnerable since she wasn't apart of this initial alliance. Tom says they are all friends but they all look to slit each other's throats at night. Tom says it's all about advancing yourself down the board.

Ian keeping immunity and Tom is up to vote. Ian votes for Gregg - says something about the dark horse riding off into the sunset. Katie is up... we don't see her vote. Jeff is off to tally.

Jeff is back with the votes and reading them:

Caryn: 2
Gregg: 4

Gregg looked a little to the side at that... last vote... Gregg is out and he shakes his head and says, "You guys are good." Jenn is shocked.

Jenn still looking shell-shocked... she blows out a breath. Katie looks down. Jeff says, "6 days left, nobody's safe anymore."

Ahh - gotcha. I get it and now I understand why they were sure, if they forced a tie, that Katie would change her vote because she wouldn't want to take the risk to have to pull a stone. <--- now appearing over my head.

Next time... Ian and Katie have a blowout. There was also something about the women clearing the air? And Caryn cleaning house. Sorry I wasn't paying attention to it until too late.

Gregg says he'd be lying if he wasn't completely surprised but his hat is off to them, they got him. He wishes Jenn the best of luck and looks forward to hanging out with her off the island.

Loved the look on Jenn's face...of course, this was about 3 TC's to late, but better late than never.

I almost had a feeling they regretted voting Steph out, but it soon passed.

Had Gregg picked Tom or Ian for the Reward, he would probably still be there tonight. He kinda shot himself in the foot by picking Katie...not only that, when he asked Jenn for permission to sink her torch during the RC. I think Jenn had delusions of Romber Complex.


I still liked the most past votes as the tie-breaker; even the Q & A made more sense then the rock scenario...why are they always convinced its a rock? During AS's they speculated it might be a rock, but we never knew for sure that it was the rock.

It could have been a different tie-breaker this time...is it written that for now on it's the Rock?

Oh and Steph is HOT!

I was kind of amused at Katie's reaction to Tom and Ian flipping the votes to take out Gregg. She was so indignant about it, but correct me if I am wrong but did she not just agree on the boat that after Karyn was gone it was Tom's turn to go.

It always amazes me how they can act so indignant about something like this when they are doing the exact same thing. I wonder if Gregg's calm acceptance of their move was because he was planning the same thing, they just beat him to it. LOL

Great show tonite! Good move and timing on Ian's part to tell Katie about flipping the vote. Gave her just enough time to consider her options, and all avoided the tie.
Anyone else notice Gregg walked out without carrying anything? Didn't even bring his stuff to TC.

Nick, when Tom and Ian talked about the rock-drawing, Tom said "according to the rules". Maybe they are given a rulebook? It also sounded at one point like someone said the two who were voted for did NOT have to pull a rock, which sounded strange to me. So in this scenario, Greg and Caryn would not have to choose rocks, but all the voting ones would (except for the immunity winner). That's what I got out of it.

But someone above was right, I think a second vote would have settled things, although we never heard this group talk about a second vote. So that just means I don't know what they knew!

Gregg got cocky. We see it so many times in this show, someone thinks they've got it all figured out. But Katie obviously really wasn't on Gregg's side, since she never told him about her conversation with Ian. So far, she's really just playing the odds, but that will burn her in the end too. Too much visible disloyalty gets you voted out as well, and Ian knew Katie was waffling, now Tom does too.

Allie, LOL, I agree with you. It's like they think it's okay if *I* scheme, but if anyone else does, well, they're just dirt!
