Ep.1 dilemma: Lauren, Matt, Sarah

Lauren, Matt, and Sarah arrive at the dilemma location on Day 2, surprise, surprise. After hiking through the jungle, they then split up to make separate decisions, but this time, what other people choose has no effect on the outcome. Instead, it's pure luck. Each visitor is forced to take one of three scrolls out of a bag, two of which will force them to lose a vote, the other of which is an advantage. If they lose a vote on the first turn, they can draw again (now a 50% chance of success). Results: Lauren picks an advantage on the first try, gets the Bank a Vote advantage, which lets her not vote and keep the parchment for a later Tribal. Sarah loses her first vote, then draws the Inheritance advantage, which if she plays it at the voting booth, allows her to receive all idols and advantages played at that Tribal. Finally, Matt loses his vote twice.

Ep.1 Ratu idol: Brandon

While the three are away at the Dilemma, the Ratu tribe collectively searches for the key to their idol cage. Matthew suggests they do it in groups of 2-3, so that nobody finds it in secret. Eventually, Brandon finds it (with Maddy), and decides to just open the cage in front of everyone. He learns the bag contains an idol and a fake idol, each with a note.
