Ep13 IC: Warrior
Probst tells a story about legendary warrior Chief Roy Mata. Contestants must then run into the jungle to one of six huts, complete a (8-piece) puzzle that has a question. To answer the question, they must reach into one of two bags (next to the answers) and pull out a tusk. If they're right, the tusk is white, if wrong, the tusk is black. Either way, they must then run back to the start, and either hang the white tusk on their necklace or toss the black tusk in the fire. First person to five white tusks wins immunity. Results: It's a tight race between Eliza and Julie, as both have 4, but Eliza is back first with her fifth, and Eliza wins! (Julie 4, Chris 2+, Twila 2, Scout none shown). TC14 - Julie voted out (3-2), 4 left. |
