One member's lack of work ethic prompts negative reactions in
the tribe.
- After winning a hard-fought Challenge, one tribe is rewarded
with more than just sustenance.

- A potential target at Tribal Council, one Survivor tries to convince
the rest that another tribemate should be next to go. |

| REWARD
CHALLENGE/ Some sort of relay - Yasur wins |
Yawn.
Some people win some stuff. Coffee included, possibly at an
exotic destination. Wheee!!!
We'll presume this is the RC, because there does not appear to be
an idol in the shot of the running. Lopevi looks quite happy in these
shots, cheering even. As SuRvIvOrPhAn1017 points out at MeSS, that's
because they were really excited at seeing steak and eggs in Ep6,
where that shot originally aired. So, no help there. On the other
hand, there's really no good reason for all the Yasur tears, is there?
True, Scout
may have
really, really liked Lisa's implants, oops, personality, but why
would Ami be crying, too? Has Rory's cheesy speechifying suddenly
gottenmore compelling? Nah, more likely they just lost their fifth
straight challenge. And it looks physical, and the only person sitting
out is Sarge. So Scout finally has to compete. Seems like a good
recipe for tears, which seem to flow freely after Yasur challenge
losses.
On the other hand, pmspml5 at
Blows presents a compelling argument that comes to the opposite conclusion:
Yasur wins, and the deliriously
happy shot of Rory and Ami in the promo occurs at the reward site.
Later shots of various Yasurs crying seem to be taken at the same
time/place, which pmspml5 suggests may be some sort of news from
home. Not implausible, although Burnett & Co. usually have the
decency to hold off on the predictable tear-jerker activities until
later
in the show. Still, this is roughly the time frame the Des Moines
Register (Rory's paper) acknowledged being asked by SEG for a copy
of their rag,
so maybe that's (part of) the exciting, sob-inducing reward. "News from home" that
turns out to be, well, newspapers from home. Wait, no, that would
be what would happen if Survivor
was funny. More likely, it'll just be letters (and news).

Sarge,
sitting out, swears he isn't scoping out Eliza's butt-tock
region. |
Run
Eliza, run! |
Ask
not for whom the Survivors weep, they weep for thee. For
watching this crap. |

| IMMUNITY
CHALLENGE/ Ever-exciting plate smashing- Yasur wins |
John
K.'s leaving, so Yasur wins. Probably Rory or Eliza saving their
collective asses this week.
This appears to be a different challenge from the relay RC, because
Chad is competing in his hat, and Sarge is standing next to him.
The green background in the shot of Chris grimacing matches the
picture
of Chad shooting, and looks different from the beach shown in
the RC. Plus, we expect Lopevi to lose this one, so a grimace
seems appropriate
here.
We won't even bother commenting on the
excitement level of seeing yet another Survivor cast flinging
projectiles at hanging porcelain objects. All we can say is:
Wheeeee!!!!

Chad,
hat on head, takes aim. Sarge to his left. |
One
red plate down, only 15+ to go! The excitement never ends! |
It's
not that bad, Chris. At least you can boot the pretty
boy now. |
|
| BOOT/
John K. |
Yep,
it's John
K. Guess sitting around camp looking pretty doesn't work
so well for guys. And stripping was probably right out. Oh well,
better luck next reality show.
