Lisa | Friday, March 30, 2001 - 01:05 pm  The show began at Day 25 - The Barramundi tribe had no sleep because of the rain. Keith explained that life in the outback is tough and getting tougher. Nick had enlarged taste buds in his mouth and couldn't drink water properly. The water was terribly murky and the group could not fish. Their rice was really down and would certainly not last much longer. Their next challenge was a paired up test for a great reward. The girls drew the names of the boys from a hat, and Jerri picked Colby. She said there was nothing fair about the game. The reward was a helicopter ride to the Great Barrier Reef for snorkeling and lunch. The challenge was an obstacle course. Each pair had to race together. Keith & Amber won the first race against Tina & Roger. Colby & Jerri won against Elisabeth and Nick. Final heat proved Colby and Jerri as the winners. It was a tight race between Keith and Amber. Jerri was very excited about the trip, however, Colby had reservations about going with her. They left for their helicopter ride which carried them over beautiful scenery. Colby told Jerri to take the day off and not talk about the game or the players. After a boat ride, they were taken to a beach and found a picnic full of salads, Doritos, champagne, chocolate brownies, fruit, etc. Back at camp the others ate rice and did chores. Colby and Jerri went snorkeling and took underwater pictures. Jerri kept saying how romantic it was and how it was like a honeymoon without the sex. Colby disagreed. They returned to the Barramundi tribe with regret. Colby brought back a piece of coral for each of the players. Jerri thought it was a strategic move and he has one up on her now. Day 27 - Keith discussed the 3 remaining Kucha members and which one should be next to go. Nick felt he would be the one to go unless he won immunity. The group met Jeff who explained the challenge as a balancing act, trying to knock your opponent off their post. Names were drawn randomly to see who would compete against whom. Keith and Roger were up first and had to balance on a post while trying to make their opponent lose balance by pulling on a rope held by both. Keith lost. They looked to be having fun! Between Nick and Jerri, Nick won. Between Colby and Tina, Colby won. Between Elisabeth and Amber, Amber won. Next round, Colby and Roger were standing on a balance beam, both moving to try to make the other lose their balance. Colby won. Nick won over Amber. Nick and Colby went up against each other in the water, balancing on floating wood. They had to try to make the other fall using the rope again. Nick won immunity!!! Jerri said that they were planning on voting Nick off, but had to re evaluate their vote on the way back to camp. Elisabeth pleaded with Tina to vote for Jerri. Keith, Tina and Colby discussed what to do and Colby pushed to peg off Kucha one by one as planned, and then go for Jerri after. At tribal council, Alicia entered as part of the jury, but was not allowed to speak. As usual, each took their turn to vote, and it looked like Elisabeth would be the one to go. To the shock of the viewing public, Jerri was voted out of the outback. Dynamics seem to have shifted. Survivor continues next Thursday. |
