Lisa | Thursday, February 08, 2001 - 08:06 pm  The show began with the Kucha Tribe on Day 7. Michael talked about how important it is that the tribe eat as much as possible or they won't make it. He painted face paint on his face, and went out to look for a pig to kill with a makeshift spear with the tribe's only knife tied on the end. The others criticized him for trying this and using their only knife. At the Ogakor Tribe, Tina said she wasn't expecting the game to be so hard and wanted doritos. Mail arrived which told them they would play for a fishing line that day. The team seemed to have great expectations for Colby to win any challenge for their tribe. He felt the pressure. The tribes arrived for the challenge and Jeff showed them the prize. The two tribes chose their strongest members, Colby for Ogakor and Michael for Kucha, who would balance a beam across their shoulders which would hold buckets of water their tribe mates carried to them. Each member had to cross to Michael and Colby while balancing on beams with water on each shoulder. Once they reached the two, the buckets of water would then be transferred to Michael or Colby's beam. By the end, both Michael and Colby were balancing 66 buckets of water, weighing 400 1bs that their tribe mates had carried to them. The goal was to hold on the longest. Both struggled with the weight, but in the end, Michael's beam broke in half. Since that was considered a tie, both teams had to get the most buckets of water to the platform in 5 minutes. Ogakor won the challenge with 2 more buckets than Kucha, and therefore won the fishing supplies. The Ogakor Tribe put their new tools to use with Mitchel, Jerri and Kimmi catching lots of fish. Keith gutted the fish and cooked them up for supper. Tension seemed to surround Jerri and Keith regarding the cooking. Everyone loved the fish and thought it was fantastic, even Jerri. In the Kucha Tribe, Kimmi brought tubs of water to the tribe, then boiled the water to make it safe to drink. She said she felt vulnerable because she hadn't formed a tight bond with anyone yet. Rodger had been nicknamed Kentucky Joe and is well liked by Elisabeth who asked the others not to vote him off. Maralyn in the Ogakor Tribe sang on the beach, and Tina and her seemed to bond well. Jerri and Colby also seemed to bond and enjoyed flirting with each other each day. Later that night in the tent, she gave him a massage, however, Coiby said he would not let his guard down around her. Alliances were certainly forming in the Kucha Tribe, with Alicia and Jeff talking about the final four in their tribe. Both said they could only trust each other and agreed that Elisabeth & Nick can't be in the final four. Nick built a kitchen but they felt he was lazy. In the Ogakor Tribe, they worried about the rain putting out the fire and wetting all their things. Day 8 - All felt miserable from the rain. No one slept properly and with not eating well, they had a hard time. They had trouble getting to the mail box and were feeling depressed they wouldn't have the strength to win. The tribes met with Jeff for their toughest challenge yet. For immunity, the tribes had to get through an obstacle course which would require physical endurance, flexibility and teamwork. The tribe mates were attached together and were told they could carry a member but the whole tribe had to cross the finish to win immunity... they were only as fast as their slowest member. Maralyn on the Ogakor Tribe had a very difficult time, and appeared to hold back her team. On the Kucha Tribe, Rodger fell and needed help to finish. It became a tight race, however, Kucha ended up winning. The Ogakor Tribe had difficulty accepting their loss. They were upset with Maralyn being unable to keep up. Alliances formed as they discussed who to vote off. Keith thought Mitchel should be voted off, and stood up for Maralyn. At the Tribal Council that night, they were asked who they didn't trust. Motto is to trust no one. Marilyn was voted off the island. The show continues next Thursday. |
