Ep.1 RC: Race for rice

Ep.1 RC - Race for rice

During the marooning, the tribes have the option of leaving the boat at any time and racing to the beach to grab a large bag of rice. As they paddle their raft, Samatau eventually starts tossing out heavy items, to speed up. Asaga reaches the beach first, but struggles to get their raft onto the mat. Samatau all but passes them, and gets a headstart on the rice, lifting Jarrad up to the top of the pyramid to retrieve it. Asaga tries to pull him off, but eventually he prevails, and Samatau gets all the rice, plus whatever is left on their raft. Asaga gets nothing.

He does this in front of AK, who he's decided he needs to trust. This turns out to be the wrong decision, and the majority splits their votes between Tarzan and Tessa.

At the ice cream reward, Anneliese found a clue in her cone, directing her to another (highly visible) clue in a tree near the reward site.

Tara - $500 for a call home (also Luke, as with everything else). 8. Peter - advantage in the IC. 9. Tessa - $320 for an overnight spa trip.
