Day 34 - The tribe endured heavy rain again during the night. Tina missed her husband and kids. Colby felt that Elisabeth was the most run down and emotional. Tree mail arrived telling them they may be able to win contact with their families. Elisabeth became very emotional talking about her mom and the health issues she has had to endure.

The tribe met Jeff at the Outback Internet Cafe for the challenge. They were told that they would all chat online with their loved ones. The loved one who answered the most questions right would earn the survivor 30 minutes chat session, plus they would win $500.00 on a visa to buy whatever they want for their loved one. Tina chatted with her husband and 2 kids. Her husband seemed a lot younger than her. Elisabeth chatted with her parents and brother. Roger chatted with his wife, daughter and son-in-law. Roger broke down, and him and Elisabeth cried. Keith chatted with his girlfriend Katherine. He also got choked up. Colby chatted with his mom. He too cried when she replied "hi baby". At the end, all five were crying on the bench. During the chats, the survivors were provided with pastry and danishes. The questions the loved ones were asked were all related to Australian culture. Tina won the challenge and was given 30 minutes to chat with her family, after the other 4 had some time to say goodbye to their loved ones. Keith asked his girlfriend to marry him online, and she said yes. He was so excited and hugged Jeff. It was a really good, bonding moment for all of them.

After they returned to the camp, their spirits were much higher and they all enjoyed a game of Frisbee. Their mouths hurt from smiling, and it was an absolute high for all of them. That night they prayed together and thanked God for the experience that day. Colby said that for that one day, strategy did not enter their heads.

Day 35 - Keith and Rodger were up early and found a burning log in the forest from a forest fire. They carried it back to their camp and dumped it in their fire pit. It was a huge find for them, since their fire was out from the rain. Colby criticized Keith for cooking too much rice each time, and felt that it should be rationed better. Keith felt that since he's the only cook, he had one up on the others. Colby & Keith had an argument over the portion of rice leaving Keith feeling vulnerable as an end result. Colby called him a "bozo" and a "fool". He said he didn't like him or the way he played the game and was through with him.

Later that day, the five sat in silence around the fire for one hour, not speaking. It seemed very uncomfortable. Colby compared the fire to a TV because of the sheer lack of entertainment. They were all completely bored. Rodger busied himself getting wood for the tribe. Colby and Rodger picked up the tree mail, and told the others it was a jail break challenge for immunity. The five met Jeff late at night in the dark to get instructions. The first settlers in Australia were prisoners. Jeff told them a story, which provided clues to the game. Each had five shackles that had to be unlocked to win the challenge. Keith reached Jeff first but only had 4 locks. He dropped one on the way. He went out to find it, but Colby came in before he returned with all of his 5.

Day 36 - Rodger said that he felt Elisabeth needed the money more than him and he told that to Tina in case they were the next two to be voted off. At tribal council, the jury was brought in. Elisabeth and Rodger talked about the relationship and bond that had formed between them. Jeff tallied the votes and Rodger was the one to go.

Survivor continues with the final four next Thursday.
