Part 1 [Written by:  Jem ] Koror Night 33 Back form Tribal Council. Jenn is really miffed. She didn’t see Gregg being voted off coming. She tells us, “Gregg turns out to be voted out, I had NO IDEA! I was completely blown away. He’s defiantly been a big part of my existence here and keeping me comfortable. Especially at night, so it was really shocking.” [She is actually chocked up a little over it.] We hear Tom tell Jenn “You know it wasn’t personal?” She replies sarcastically, ABSOLUTELY! I was shocked for the first few seconds, and then it was like, Ok! Game on!”

Day 34
Caryn and Tom are talking game on the beach out of ear shot of the rest of the tribe. He is trying to reassure her that she is safe with himself and Ian, and that she will be in the final three with them. She is worried. She doesn’t think Ian will want to take out Katie and Jenn before her. Meanwhile, back at the shelter, Ian, Katie and Jen are talking about taking out Tom or Caryn. But Ian doesn’t want to go back on his word to Tom. (It’s like a TV soap!) Back to Tom and Caryn, Tom thinks Katie and Jenn want to take out one of the guys.

In an interview, Caryn tells us, “I’m glaringly optimistic that I will be in the final three.”

Ian and Tom later go for tree mail.

Before going back to camp, Ian and Tom discuss if one of them win, who they will take. They don’t want to have all three girls back at camp plotting. Ian wants to take Katie and Tom is saying it’s better to take Caryn. Neither can really agree to what’s best.

Reward Challenge We see five pontoons out in the water, and a traditional Palau raft dock with five rafts. Jeff first shows them what they are playing for. He pulls a tarp away to show the Survivors a nice shiny new Red Corvette convertible.

The pontoons have five colored bags tied to them. The survivor will paddle out and retrieve one of their colored bags at a time, bring them back to the dock and paddle out for the next. Once they have all five bags, they come back and open them to find 5 mile markers. They will then place the correct mile marker on the corresponding city. The first one correct. Wins the nice shiny Red Corvette and a night at one of the most luxurious mansions in Palau with a BBQ.

They draw for position and Jeff starts them, Tom and Ian are head to head, then its Jenn, Katie and Caryn. It stays that way for most of the challenge. (Sounds boring, but was fun to watch.) Tom and Ian butt rafts a few times, Jenn almost

NY - 9612 MI Tokyo - 2394MI Sydney - 3047MI Manila - 1041MI London - 7570MI

knocks Caryn off her and Katie is stuck out in the middle of the water going in circles. I don’t even think Katie got one bag. It’s a close race till Tom tries to cut corners and ditches his forth bags to make up time. It goes in the drink and he has to pick it up before he can go for the fifth and final bag. Ian makes it back with his last bag, makes it to shore and starts placing the mile markers on the cities. Once done, Jeff checks, Ian has it correct and wins reward.

 

Ian runs over and kisses the car. Jeff then asks him to pick one person to take with him. Katie is really excited, and you can see it in her face. Ian says. I promised Katie I would take her. But I also always said to Tom from day one, if I won a car I would take him. I’m going to pick Tom. Katie’s face - Priceless! Part I [12 minutes]

Part 2 [Written by:  Tabitha ] As Ian and Tom cruise down the dirt road to paradise, Tom says, “Can you believe the day you’re having?” Ian replies, “This is one for the books!” (I believe Tom giggled!) Ian tells us that he’s never been able to afford a car before, so the Corvette is fantastic! The mansion with its breathtaking view, situated atop green mountains is where we find Ian and Tom talking strategy while enjoying wine and a fine display of bread, crackers, links, (meat), and fruit. They are astounded by the mansion and thrilled by the spread. Ian says it’s the best place to have a party in the world! Ian tells Tom that when he first won (reward) and he brought him and not Katie, he felt bad for Katie, but she had turned her back on him the last challenge. Tom piped in that she did the same by trying to sway Gregg into voting him out. Ian says he doesn’t feel THAT bad. [This is where Tom comes in with the “We-need-tas”.] He starts dictating to Ian that they now had to convince Katie to come back to their alliance and that the three of them are still going to the end. Tom tells us “Weneedta get Katie back… I hope Ian can bring her back into this…Because it’s our only play.” [I wondered why he isn’t taking control of THIS one? They always say courage comes in the form of liquid. And Ian and Tom have it.]

Back at Koror Caryn asks Katie what happened and how and when things went down. Katie tells her since day one. She says she and Ian made a promise that they’d stick together until the end and he told her yesterday he would pick her over Tom, they’ve had a bond since the first day (Jenn’s face perks up and becomes very attentive) and he chose Tom. She feels like she lost her best friend out there. Katie tells us how bummed she is that her biggest ally is gone.

Katie brings up the fact that the opportunity to bring to life an all female alliance was stupidly not done and that another opportunity is upon them. Katie gets Caryn to admit that she and Tom do have a deal and then Caryn lets the cat out that Tom told her that he, Katie and Ian were in cahoots. Jenn, aghast at this little nugget, asks Katie if it’s true. Katie denies it not. “Katie just cleaned house”, Jenn tells us. She tells us she has been unaware of this information and is just now realizing Katie has been playing a strong game and needs to be wary of her. (Now I’m aghast! We’re on what day?)

The three girls agree that this Tribal Council would be a great time to overtake the boys by either voting out Ian or Tom should one or the other win Immunity instead of one of them. Caryn agrees to the plan to their faces but tells us, as usual, she is confused about what to do and doesn’t know which side she is going to take. Katie comments that it was an “immature” thing for Ian to do – leaving three women together to plot, especially one who’s pissed off.

Koror Day 35 Tom and Ian approach camp after their lovely retreat. Ian tells Tom they need to talk to Katie. He says we-need-ta go over now while they’re all sleeping. Oh! But here comes Caryn sneaking like a squirrel through the trees and rushes straight over to Ian, ignoring Tom’s first question (not Hi Caryn, how are ya?, but “Did anyone flip sides?) and asks Ian straight up, “Is it me, you and Katie? Or me, you and Tom?” Ian stammers to an extreme and at first says, “It’s me, you and Ka-, I mean, me, you and Tom.” (a sideward glance from Tom inserted here) Caryn asks why she should believe him. Tom says it’s because Katie didn’t stay loyal. Ian, whose stuttering became worse as he tried to explain that he did have a deal with Katie in the beginning and after some more stuttering spit out that he told Tom that he’s not making a decision until tonight (at Tribal). Again, Tom says, “If you haven’t flipped with the girls, it’s you (staying).” Tom asks what the other half is, what’s going on. Caryn won’t tell. This makes Tom uneasy. Ian and Tom walk away from Caryn with Tom telling Ian that he messed up and that they lost Caryn’s vote tonight. He tells us Ian better be tight with Katie because of how things went down with Caryn.

Ian wants to talk – Katie doesn’t, since she just woke up. Ian is stressing pretty hard, venting to Tom that this is “girl stuff from back home”. Finally, Ian asks Katie for five minutes alone to talk. They take a stroll down the beach.

At first, Ian starts in with the reward challenge and how two days ago … Katie stops him and says it’s not about that. He moves on and holds out his necklace and says that no matter what anybody else said, he swore on it that he would never vote against her. He gives her the "girls back home" analogy. She tells him her “lost my best friend” analogy in turn. The tears are turned on, Katie’s first, and she tells Ian she can’t believe him anymore, that he lied to her yesterday and he was the closest thing to family…” She goes on (and on) about how she feels that he can just step all over her without even thinking about how she feels. She says she was embarrassed. Ian is tearing up now and getting so upset he throws himself down on the ground! Katie is whining something about, “You could’ve told me… (waah waah) …oh, by the way, we’re voting off Gregg!” He says, “That was totally different. Dinner?” She says, “Not dinner, a promise!” Ian, struggling for words (surprise), says he’s sorry, he wouldn’t do it deliberately and admits being scatter-brained. He asks if she wants him to step out. She says she would never ask him to do that. He asks her forgiveness and says he’ll try to be her friend for the rest of his life. He says he’s off his rocker in so many ways and apologizes again. They share a big hug and he says he’ll try not to be stupid again. Go, Ian! Work it for that million dollars, baby!
 Part II [10 minutes]

Part III [Written by:  Jem ] Koror Day 36 Tom and Caryn are on the beach talking, he is trying to get information out of Caryn about Katie. Is Katie annoyed with Ian for taking Tom on reward? Caryn tells us, “Immunity is key for Tom and Ian and I think they are desperate. They’re just freaking out. The girls are just tired of the guys pulling the strings, and now we are taking control.” Tom and Caryn also head out for Tree Mail. They keep talking alliances and strategy. When they get back to the shelter, Caryn asks the sleepy-heads if they want her to read the clue for the Immunity Challenge. They all say yeah while trying to wake up to take it in.

Tom tells us, “At this point now it’s scrambling. You know, save your own neck. You can only take an alliance so far, then, everyone looks out for their own better interest. It’s usually the weakest person in an alliance that’s gonna flop to the other majority. Katie is that weak member and she is looking to better her deal with us now. I don’t hold it against her, but it’s the reality of this game.”

Katie and Tom are on the beach, Tom is really pushing it hard and you can tell Katie is a little agitated. Tom is telling her that Ian needs to go. In an interview Katie later tells us, “This morning I’ve been bombarded by Tom trying to bully me. How, once again, I won’t have his vote if I take him out. My only chance for the final two is for me to go with him and Ian. Tom sucks today, he is threatening and being mean and I don’t like it!” (Oh cry me a river, go pout somewhere else)

Immunity Challenge After they make their way to the challenge, Jeff explains. “You will make your way across a wobbly bridge, over a series of floating pontoons, and then navigate across a rope bridge. At the end you will find a memory puzzle with 15 images. Memorize the position of all 15 images, as you can. Then make your way back, where you will find your own memory grid. Start duplicating that puzzle with the pieces provided. The first person to correctly duplicate that puzzle wins immunity. A couple of rules first, 1. Fall off an obstacle at anytime and you must go back to the beginning. 2. If you call out for me to check your puzzle and its wrong. You have to go back and check the grid before it will be checked again. Also, each puzzle is different, so checking your neighbors won’t help you.”

Once the survivors are in place, Jeff starts them off. Ian Tom and Katie are head to head. Caryn and Katie fall off the rope bridge. Katie gets her foot stuck; she and Caryn both have to go back. Meanwhile Tom and Ian are on their way back and Jenn stays behind to memorize the puzzle better. Tom takes a huge fall a few times and at one stage he bites the dust as he is going back and forth. I think Caryn and Katie finally make it to the end to read the grid, but I never take to much notice of these two, they just never really do well in a challenge.

Ian’s long legs help him in this challenge, I was watching him and the rope bridge is three giant steps for him. Ian calls for Jeff to check him, he isn’t correct and Jeff tells Ian, “GO GO GO!” [I think he wants Ian to win...lol] Tom calls out to Jeff that he has it, Jeff checks and it’s wrong so he heads back. In the end, Tom makes it back faster (after falling again) and fixes his puzzle. Jeff looks and announces that Tom is correct. Tom wins Immunity!

Jeff tells the others, “Tom is the only person safe at tonight’s Tribal council, Ian, Caryn, Jenn and Katie, one of you is going home tonight.”

 Part III [10 minutes]

Part 1V [Written by:  mrspopcornsupriz ]  Day 36 Tom: Talks about how important it was for him to win immunity then ever, he got lucky. There might be a woman alliance. Ian could be gone. If he is gone, it’s 3 against him, if he doesn’t win immunity, he’d be gone next.

Katie and Ian were talking, crying. Katie wants Caryn out but she is hurt buy Ian not picking her. Ian admits he made a mistake and he’s stupid. Ian says maybe all bets are off now. Katie says she isn’t making anymore promises to anyone. Ian says then this is his test and Katie agrees.

Caryn talks about how after tonight it’s a one in four chance to win. People are screaming and are conniving to win. She thinks Katie is holding all the cards on deciding who to send home. It could be Ian or Herself and Jen. If Katie isn’t genuine, Jen and Caryn may have made a mistake.

Tribal Council The jury walks in: Coby, Janu, Steph, and Greg.

Jeff starts talking about the reward challenge. Brings up Ian picking Tom. Katie talks about how he made a promise to her and he broke it with Tom. She doesn’t know what to believe now. Ian says it was his biggest mistake because he hurt someone he really loves. He feels bad. Katie is the closest person there to him. Jeff asks if Ian is worried it might cost him. Ian answers, yes, sure. Jeff talks to Caryn about it not being too bad, seeing others in a tiff. Caryn said after Greg, Jen, and Katie went off on there reward earlier in the week, Ian said they’d be plotting against them and if they don’t one of them off, they will have the game. Caryn says Ian said if she goes with him and Tom, she’s in. Caryn says he promised both her and Katie the same thing. Caryn says she has had it up to here. The jury needs to hear what’s going on because they decide who wins in the end. Jeff says to Ian, lots of fingers are pointing at you. Ian says Greg needed to go and that he never thought of voting off Katie or Jen. Caryn says Bologna. Tom then talks about how Caryn told him they were voting him off. Caryn calls Tom a liar and says she promised to tell him if his name ever came up. Toms wants to finish his story and says he was told Greg’s target was him and Caryn. Jeff asks why Katie didn’t know about voting off Gregg till just before they left to tribal council. Ian says what’s the difference between a few hours or a few minutes. Katie says that it was like he was telling her what to do instead of letting her decide.

Vote Starts. Ian is up first. He writes down Caryn and says this is the best few seconds of the day, can’t wait to see you go home. Jenn votes. Caryn writes Ian’s name down. Tom votes. Katie votes. Time to tally the votes. First vote Ian. Second vote: Caryn. Third vote: Caryn. Fourth vote: Caryn. The fourteenth person votes off is Caryn. The tribe has spoken. It’s time for you (Caryn) to go. Jeff says it’s down to the final four, only three more tribal councils, two immunity challenges, and only one winner. Can’t wait to see how it all plays out.

In the end everyone except Caryn voted Caryn off. Caryn says Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but all that stuff happened. If you want to shoot the messenger, go ahead. See were it gets you. Everyone is very deceptive and they are going to have to face the music.  Part IV [10 minutes]

Part 1 [Written by:  Jem ] Koror Day 31 It's morning at camp Koror, we see everyone just waking up. It’s very windy and doesn’t look like its going to be a very nice day. They are all discussing the night before, how sad Steph looked and her face when she was voted off. Someone says “Poor Girl.”

In an interview later, Tom tells us, “Steph was the one voted off. I thought that it could have been me last night. I wouldn’t have blamed them. If I was playing me, I’d want me outta here too. But they didn’t do it, it was a relief. They’re holding true to the five, and I believe they will continue to do that.”

Caryn and Tom head out to get tree mail. Caryn is feeling very vulnerable right now. She tried to feel Tom out to see where she stands. She has a feeling that unless something changes, she’ll be going home tonight. Tom tells us, “She knows that she is outside of a group of five people.” We hear Caryn tell Tom, “It would make more sense to get rid of Gregg.”

Once they have their little chat, they head back to camp with the tree mail. It reads,
 

Everyone cheers with excitement. They all really want to win reward.

Reward Challenge Jeff ushers them all in to where they are playing. He tells them, “I’m going to ask a series of questions about Palau and Micronesia, every time you answer correctly, you each get the right to drop another member’s torch toward the water. After three drops on anyone’s flame, it goes into the water and that person is out of the challenge. The last person left, wins reward. Wanna know what you’re playing for?” All six say, “YEAH!” and as they do, we hear, HONK HONK! It’s a luxury yacht, the winner gets to spend the night, feasting, shower and massage. Jeff then ushers them to the mat to begin.

First Question they are all correct, so in the order they are standing on the mat, they get a turn at pulling the lever to drop a torch, Tom takes out Gregg, Jenn takes Caryn, Ian takes Caryn, Caryn takes out Katie and Katie retaliates by taking out Caryn (looks like she enjoyed it too). Caryn is out and takes a seat.

Second question, Tom is the only one that gets it right. He takes out Ian. (He said to even it up a little).

Third question, All are correct again. Tom gets Jenn, Jenn gets Tom back, Ian gets Tom. Gregg takes out Ian and Katie takes out Ian (Gregg makes a deal with Katie to not take him out). Both Tom and Ian are out of the challenge and take a seat with Caryn.

Fourth question, Gregg and Katie get it right. Gregg takes out Katie (before he does, he asks Jenn for permission to take Jenn out, he made a deal with Katie and Jenn tells him if he does he will never live it down. (What a dumb ass! He asks permission in front of everyone, if that doesn’t show an alliance I don’t what does!)

Question five, Jenn and Gregg get it right, Jenn takes Katie’s last shot left and takes her out of the competition. Gregg takes Jenn out, we hear Tom say, “At least you didn’t ask for permission that time Gregg.” Katie takes a seat and its now Just Jenn and Gregg playing.

Question six, Gregg’s the only one that gets the answer correct, he takes Jenn out and he is the last one with a flame. Gregg wins this challenge.

Jess then instructs him to pick another member to go with him. Jenn is all happy and knows she will pick her. Jeff then pipes up and tells Gregg, “What’s the use of just two, three friends to share this with would be so much better.” He tells everyone how sorry he is, but he made a promise to Katie and picks her. Everyone else looks stunned. [Idiot!] Gregg says to Caryn, Ian and Tom, “Guys I’m sorry, I’ll pay you back.” Tom bites back, “Oh No, we’ll pay you back.” Part I [10 minutes]

Part 2 [Written by: XandraSkye ]  KOROR. Tom is glad he didn't come on Survivor to spend a night on a yacht. For him it's just the icing on the cake and he "came for the cake". Ian wants to talk strategy right away. At the reward challenge Ian saw Katie drop his flame in the water rather than Gregg's and he found that interesting. He said, "If Katie is willing to sell me out for a night on a yacht, there's no way she's gonna hold on to me for a $1,000,000." Ian tells Tom that he sees it as him and Tom have lost control of the game and are no longer calling the shots but Gregg and Jen are because they now have Katie.

Tom tells us that Caryn did warn him that Katie was looking to get rid of him but he wasn't willing to take Caryn's word over Katie's at that point. But now Ian is saying that Katie has become "Shady Lady Katie" [hehehe... I love that] and wants to dump them and go to finals with Gregg and Jen. So the three come up with the idea of voting out Gregg at the next tribal council because they see him as the greatest threat. They call him the "dark horse" because no one will go against him in the final two. Caryn says, "Nobody" and Tom asks, "Why?" Caryn says, "He hasn't pissed anyone off...he's very affable and he works hard."

Caryn tells us, "the sequence of events have fallen into place that really benefit me" because the alliance of five is breaking down and her only hope now is stay close to Tom and Ian.

Palau Aggressor II. Captain Mike greets Gregg, Jenn and Katie and tells them it will be a day of pampering, VIP style. They get to their room, with real beds, and find their swimsuits which they haven't seen since they left for the island. They all wash up and go up on deck to get full body massages. Gregg says, "It felt like, finally, I was on vacation at Palau."

Gregg is receiving a relaxing massage from an attractive local woman but then a man, who we do not know, asks to take over. He continues to massage his feet and then works his way up to a hard smack on the ass [I've never gotten a massage before, is that normal?]. That's when we find out the masseuse is not masseuse at all but Gregg's best friend, Greg, from back home.

The four of them sit down to a yummy meal and we see two more people come up onto the deck. It ends up being Jenn's sister, Kim and Katie's brother-in-law, Stan. Needless to say, they are all very excited and emotional.

Back at camp Tom and Ian talk some more about voting out Gregg at the next Tribal Council. Tom asks Ian again if he's sure Katie is really ready to go against Tom, and Ian assures him she is. They talk about how if Tom, Caryn and Ian all vote for Gregg it will most likely be a tie and they might be forced to do the "Pull a Purple Rock " game, which we have not seen done since Survivor: Marquises. But Tom and Ian agree that it is worth the gamble because like Tom says, "we're not getting there anyway." Ian realizes that it is a risk and they might be going home, but they hope Katie will not want to do the "rock" thing and decide to also vote out Gregg. Ian tells us it's a "delicate operation that needs to be handled with the utmost of care" and compares it to trying to take "A bag of potato chips from a fat man...you can do it but you better do it quick or he'll turn around and sit on you." They tell Caryn to pull this off she has to keep acting the way she's been acting, "sad and dour". Caryn ensures us that that will be no problem for her because she's a very good actress.

Now comes my favorite part of the episode. Gregg, Jen, Katie and their family are on a boat to a lagoon and they aren't sure what they are about to do. Then they see fins...fins that belong to DOLPHINS!

They are gonna go swimming with dolphins! Jenn mirrors what I'm thinking by saying, in a voice full or awe and excitement, "OH MY GOD, No way! No way!" Katie tells us, "Swimming with the dolphins was, by far, the most magical moment I've ever had. It's something I've always wanted to do. It's like my dream." Jenn gets choked up [and so I do] that she got to share such a surreal experience with her sister.

Now we go back to strategy talk. Gregg thinks it will benefit them to be the final three. Katie says she's is the only one doing something sneaky because she's jumping from her alliance with Tom and Ian to an alliance with Gregg and Jen. She then tells us what her strategy is, "stick with those people that make the decisions, until those people no longer have any power and then jump to the next person who makes the decisions." They discuss that if Caryn should be the one (lucky enough) to win Immunity then Tom should be who they vote for because he's the biggest threat. Gregg thinks that their agreement felt real and true and that their bond will be tight to the end. [Sucker!]

Next morning a boat delivers Gregg, Jenn and Katie back to the beach and their loved ones are with them. Tom is crushed that he didn't get to see his family and says, "It's tough." We have a few more emotional moments with the Survivor's and their families and then it's time to say "good-bye". Tom says, "This might of been the last love fest at camp." He says, "It has been a good run but it's about to get rough."Part II [11 minutes]

Part 3 [Written by: cappy ] Immunity Challenge:  Jeff makes a comment about there being six left. Jeff takes back the immunity necklace from Ian. The challenge is composed of previous challenges. The rope course from episode 1's immunity challenge. The second part is the sea star puzzle of episode 7's immunity challenge. The third part is to open a crate and raise a flag, seen in episode 6's immunity challenge. Part four is eating three balut from episode 8's reward challenge. The last part is a shoot out from episode 6's reward challenge. The last one to finish is eliminated.

The Challenge Begins. The first part is the rope course. Tom, Gregg and Ian do well. Jenn is catching up in 4th place. Katie and Caryn are falling behind in 5th and 6th place. Tom finishes first, Gregg second, Ian third, Jenn fourth, and Katie fifth leaving Caryn eliminated. The second part is the sea star puzzle. They take of the covering and begin. Ian is first finished, followed by Gregg, and Tom. Its down to Katie and Jenn. Jenn finishes before Katie and Katie is eliminated.

They move on to the third stage of the challenge, eating balut. The last four reveal the balut and start eating. Tom and Ian finish. Its down to Gregg and Jenn. Jenn finishes before Gregg and Gregg is the third eliminated. Ian, Jenn and Tom move on to the crate and flag. Ian makes quick work of the knots using his teeth. Tom and Ian open their crates at the same time while Jenn is falling behind on the knots. Tom and Ian clip their blue and green flags on and move on to the final round. Jenn is eliminated.

The last part, is the shoot out. Ian makes the first move, and he hits a blue flag. Tom tries but misses. Ian makes another shot. Tom hits a flag but doesn't break it, and it doesn't count. Ian makes his last shot and wins his second individual immunity challenge. Caryn, Gregg, Jenn, Katie or Tom will be the next to go. The final six head back to camp.    Part III [8 minutes]

Part 4 [Written by:  nawlinsgal] We have quite the conversation going on with Tom and Ian and it's all about Gregg, wonder if his ears are burning (they should be on fire), Tom and Ian decide that their best course of action would be to include Caryn with them and vote Gregg out, that would cause a tie with Gregg and Caryn since Gregg, Jenn, and Katie are planning on voting for Caryn.

They discuss that with a tie the two people that are involved in the tie, in this case Caryn and Gregg would become safe and the voters would then have to pick a stone out of a bag and the person to pick the purple stone would go home, unless they can talk to Katie and convince her that it would be to her advantage to vote with them to get rid of Gregg rather than take a chance on picking the wrong stone and getting eliminated. Tom makes a bold statement saying " it's better to play hard and chance getting eliminated, than to let this go on, I want to do it tonight" Tom and Ian both seem content with the fact that this move could possibly put them out of the game.

Gregg is looking around the camp and states " I was a bit concerned being away from the camp, but coming back there is no mysterious looks back and forth between people and I can say with confidence that Caryn is going home tonight."

Ian looks over at Caryn moping around sitting by the camp doing nothing and decides that she should be winning an Academy Award for her performance. Gregg comes up and they make small talk about the vote and how they think it will be an uneventful night, all agree.

Gregg and Jenn are off talking and Gregg says that next one (meaning tribal council) is going to be the big one, Jenn totally agrees and says that they will have to get rid of Tom or Ian, she laughingly says that yeah majority rules. [Wonder if she will have that same smirk later. lol]

Ian and Katie go off to talk and Ian tells Katie that he has told two people he would have their back, Tom is one and she is the other, he even tells her that he told Stan, her brother-in-law that he would have her back. He goes on to tell her about the plan to vote out Gregg with Tom and Caryn, and that unless she votes Gregg also it will force a tie. You can see that Katie is none to happy and asks what happens with a tie, Ian explains and Katie says she really has issues with voting Gregg out, she tells Ian it's unfair to come to her an hour before tribal council and tell her what they are doing without discussing anything. She tells Ian that he wants her to be in the final two with her because she wouldn't be able to beat him or Tom because the jury would favor them. Ian tells her it would be much closer than you think, she shoots him a look that would cut down a mighty oak. Katie is not pleased at all and she has some thinking to do because she said it all comes down to how do I win the million dollars.

Everyone is sitting down for tribal and Jeff welcomes the jury Toby, Janu, and Stephanie. Jeff starts out about the reward challenge and how it was to be away from the camp for the night and how it might of been uncomfortable to be away not knowing what is going on at the camp while you are gone. Gregg says it was a great experience but on the flip side it really hurt that I had to leave behind 3 members.

Jeff asks Caryn her status with the tribe and Caryn says that they all think she has won enough food already and didn't deserve any more, Jeff keeps pushing the issue saying it must be more than a food issue. He points out about Gregg asking Jenn for permission during the reward challenge. Jeff also mentions that Caryn has all her belongings with her, Caryn points out that she wasn't' part of the five person alliance and it's probably her time to go.

Jeff asks if Jenn and Gregg are worried about being singled out because of their "couple status", Jenn says of course we worry a bit, but we are playing a completely individual game [I was just waiting for Jeff to pipe up again about Gregg getting permission from Jenn, but he didn't]

Jeff moves on to Tom who states that they have been together from day one and being friends, but at night when they go to bed they are looking to slit throats.

Jeff asks Ian if he wants to keep his immunity necklace and without any hesitation at all Ian says he will keep it.

Time to vote: Order of the vote is

Tom-------Votes for Gregg
Jenn-------Votes for Caryn
Ian--------Votes for Gregg
Gregg-----Votes for Caryn
Caryn-----Votes for Gregg
Katie------Votes for Gregg

Jeff tallys the votes and Gregg becomes the 13th member voted out and the 4th member of the jury. Wow Jenn looks really nervous.  Jeff says that the message is clear, six days left and no one is safe.

Greggs outgoing speech:
"WowI was surprised. Hats off, they got me, they got me real good. This has been an experience of a lifetime. Jenn best of luck and look forward to hanging out soon."  Part IV [8 minutes]

Part 1 [Written by: Trewa ] Night 27: They get back from Tribal Council and the tribe reassures Steph that she would have stayed even if Janu didn't quit. Tom makes a remark about his immunity becoming a moot point and he offers it, and actually puts it around Steph neck. Later on Gregg and Ian discuss whether Janu's decision will come back to haunt them or not.
Gregg: thinks they made a mistake in not voting her off the first tribal counsel after she joined them. He says the longer she stays around the more Koror falls apart.

Day 28: As Steph is cutting up coconut for breakfast she is asking Katie if the four strong is gone, meaning the original four from day two. Katie first asks which four and then says she thinks so after last night. Steph then asks who is running the show Gregg or Ian? Katie says she doesn't know, not her.

Steph: says Katie acts like she is her friend and then won't tell her anything. Just keeps saying I don't know, I don't know, and won't tell her anything.
Tom tells her the four is still strong as far as he is concerned and that he swears he is trying to look out for her, but can't expose himself and that he is looking for an opening, a chink.

  

Tom demonstrates "the dead man's float."  Is it an omen of things to come?

Tom: Thinks "there is a reason why Steph has survived in this game as long as she has. She's got great instincts" and he really sees her as one of the supreme players in the game. And he realizes that she is going to start working on things so she can survive and he thinks that is problem and that the safest thing for all of them is for Steph to go. He also thinks that he is in the same position as her and that they will come after him.

Tom talks to them about not penalizing him for being strong player. Later when he is out in the water Katie, Ian, Jenn and Gregg basically make fun of his plea.

Katie: discusses how this would be the time for her to switch over if she was going to.

We then see Katie, Jenn and Steph talking about an all girl final four. Jenn says she would consider doing it to Gregg. Steph says they "need to discuss it with Caryn", but that "it would be an awesome idea." They say they already out number the men and talk about how Tom should be they first to go if he doesn't get Immunity. Steph is working her angle that no matter how strong she is, the men are a bigger threat than she is. Part I [7 minutes]
Part 2 [ Written by: Jem ] Koror Day 28 Katie shouts to the rest of the tribe on her way back from getting tree mail.

In an interview, Tom tells us, “Our tree mail came today, in what looks like a purse or money folder, and we really think today might be the day where they give you X amount of money, and we get to spend it on mostly food and drink. To me mostly means that there may be some other things, I think I need a little food for the soul, and a letter from home would serve that purpose.”

Reward Challenge
We see the tribe making their way to the challenge. Jeff tells them to take a seat on the benches where their name is marked. Next to them is a purse containing $500 US dollars. The currency for Palau. Some of them smell the money, and some count it. Other just spend time feeling it. Jeff says, “You can leave her with it, or spend it at the Survivor Auction. Im going to bring up a series of items, Bidding will start at $20.00 and go up in $20.00 increments. The auction will stop without warning, so if you see something you like, you better bid and not hope for something better to come later. Survivors ready?”

He brings out the first item, of course, it’s covered! They all start bidding back and forth. In the end Jenn wins. She pays Jeff and he uncovers a Sundae. He hands her a spoon, waits for her to take the first bite. She is so happy. She takes it back to her seat, her hands are trembling as she eats.

Second item bidding starts, in the end Caryn and Steph split the price with a total of $260.00. When they go and collect he gives them the option of choosing another item that is bigger. Both Caryn and Steph smell both items and decide to upgrade. Jeff shows us the item they didn’t keep. Its crackers and cheese! The second item, it’s a cheese burger, fries and a cola. They cut it and take the first bit saying Cheers. ( It looks old to me but I guess when you’ve been out there that long any food looks good!)

Third item up for grabs, the bidding starts and we end up with Ian winning it for $300.00 ( Gregg chips in $20.00 for a bite) Ian is then asked if he wants to swap the items. He is shown a box, after a few seconds he declines. Jeff then shows him what he passed up. It’s a container of crabs, [wow, didn’t know CBS gave out that kinda thing! LOL]. Ian goes to get his item. Jeff uncovers a plate of spaghetti, garlic bread and Parmesan cheese. Ian reaches over and hugs Jeff. Jeff says, “WOW Ian, you smell! Man! You reek!” As Ian takes a bite and heads back to the bench, Gregg’s eyes never leave the plate.

Forth item is a beer. The first person to pay $40.00 gets it. It’s Ian again. He gets up and opens it, and tells tom “Man! This is good tom.”

Item number five.... You guessed it, Letters from home. The bidding is going up and most of them decline and apologize to their families as the last bid by Tom is made. $220.00 is the final bid for some Love and wisdom from home, He opens his letter [yes and here is where I get all soppy!]. He has a drawing form his child, with their hand traced. All the girls say awww.

The other members get a change to buy theirs for the same price as Tom. Katie, Caryn, Gregg, Steph and Katie all get theirs. As Steph sits down, and takes a peek, the camera focuses on her. As the tears well up in my eyes, along with hers she says, “I can’t read it now, I’ll lose it.” It appears she has a huge stack of letters to read.

Now that the auction has finished, Jeff tells them to all head back to camp. Part II [9 minutes]
Part  3 [Written by: Nawlinsgal ] Stephanie is overjoyed by her letter from home, she has letters from her boyfriend, mom, sisters, she said she has like 12 letters total. She said that her family is a very strong group of people and that's how she gets her positive motivation, and the letters just want to make her try harder, she refers to them as the food and energy she needs to win. Stephanie states "I will win this, I know it."

Ian is finally taking a bath, he states it's in honor of Jeff Probst who noted that he " Stunk very bad. " Ian asks Gregg for some help washing his back because he is having problems getting it clean, Gregg goes and helps Ian out. The girls are giggling about the guys helping each other with washing. Katie states " they could of just asked one of the girls, instead of washing each other, it's pretty comical. "(I see nothing wrong, why call one of the girls into the water when Gregg is right there). Ian knows they are making fun of them and states that it's like a Grecian bath, he goes on further to say he is comfortable with his sexuality. Tom comes in and Ian asks him if his neck is clean and if he looks clean, Tom states " I won't clean it for you, but you look nice and clean." Tom definitely wanted no part of the boys Grecian bath.

Tom decides to have a talk with Caryn, he feels that he is okay for now, but his confidence is slipping. Caryn tells Tom that she won't bite the hand that feeds her so to say and states that they will look out for each other. Tom is satisfied that Caryn will look out for him. Tom goes on to say that if he doesn't win immunity he really expects to see his name written down a few times.

Everyone gathers for the Immunity challenge. First order of business as usual, Jeff collects the immunity necklace from Tom and announces that immunity is back up for grabs.

The immunity challenge will be tossing coconuts at a 35 tile grid with 5 tiles for each survivor at a distance of 20 feet, the object is to break all of your 5 tiles first, you can break them or if someone else accidentally breaks your tile for you, well then good for you and bad for them.

Ian was up first and aiming for his red tile, which he succeeded in hitting. Caryn's up next, going for the brown tile, missed. Gregg was  looking to hit a blue tile.

Jeff: "Gregg takes out his first time. Gregg on the board with one."  Jenn was up next, going for orange, and instead she takes out Caryn's white tile. Tom was up next, going for green, and instead he takes out Katie.

Jeff: "Stephanie with her first shot going for yellow. And instead she takes out Caryn." Caryn is in the lead with two taken out by Jenn and Steph. Ian, Gregg and Kate each have one. Tom and Stephanie not yet on the board. Ian back up, looking for red. And he does it. Ian now with two. Katie going for brown. Katie takes out Jenn.

Gregg  helped Ian move into the lead with three.

By the end of the fourth round, Tom and Ian were tied.  Tom, aiming for a green tile, misses and connects with the last red tile which is Ian's. Ian wins immunity.   Part III [10 minutes]

Part 4 [Written by:  XandraSkye ] Day 30 at Koror and it's a rainy day. Everyone is staying inside the shelter and Tom says, "I think it will be very funny if the sun breaks out and you just see 7 people scatter out of the tent into individual groups just go and explode with the things that are building up inside them while we're stuck inside...it's gonna be a fun day." And oh boy, was he ever right. First we see Katie and Caryn go look for snails and Katie feels Caryn out by asking her if she would rather "stick with the women and take out the men or go with the men and take the rest of them kicking our ass in a big way?"

They talk about Tom and their alliance with him. Katie says she loves Tom and will cry when she has to write his name down on a piece of paper but she has accepted the fact that there will be a time when she has to write his name down or he'll win. Katie is probably right.

Caryn tells us that she doesn't really have an "alliance" but she will look out for Tom and Tom will look out for her. Once again it amazes me that people can be so naive when we are on Survivor 10. It's all about alliances, Caryn! Even Tom is a little confused at her decision to tell him about what her and Katie talked about. But Katie sums it up best by saying, "We can't get a female alliance together because Caryn sucks."

Next Tom and Ian go off together and compare notes. Than Ian and Katie go off together and Ian tells Katie that he would like to see Caryn go before Tom. Katie tells him, "I'd just hate for it to be such a sweep and Tom takes the whole thing and none of us have a chance." [I'm screaming at my TV, "Listen to her, Ian!"

Gregg wants Stephanie to go because that was the "plan". He said he would be very pissed if they don't stick to that. But I think it is Stephanie who says the truest statement, "If these people are smart and they know how to play the game, for themselves, their best bet is to not get rid of me tonight...if they're smart, Tom will be the next one to go."

Now it's time for Tribal council. Jeff starts his usual grilling by asking Ian if at day 30 paranoia has started to drift into camp? Ian gives a very diplomatic answer and says they are still a "pretty solid group." He then asks Stephanie what it was like going back to camp after the last Tribal Council. She said everyone made her feel comfortable and "whatever happens tonight, happens."

Jeff points out to Tom how he has shown himself to be the leader of Koror and has pretty much dominated in most of the challenges. He asked if that was intentional. Tom tells Jeff that at first he didn't want to stand out and planned on playing on the fact that he was a little older but then it became "paramount" for Koror to beat Ulong so he had to take the lead and he's not sorry and will live with those consequences.

Jeff asks Ian if he wants to give his Immunity to anyone else and Ian wisely decides to keep it.

It's now time to vote. Caryn votes first. Jeff then goes and tally the votes.

1st vote is for Caryn. The next four votes are for Stephanie which means Stephanie is the 12th person voted out of Survivor: Palau and the 3rd person on the jury.

Jeff, "Stephanie, the tribe has spoken, time for you to go." Stephanie's parting words to the tribe that kicked her butt is, "Good luck, guys."

The episode ends by Jeff telling Koror that tonight was another easy vote because they voted out the last remaining Ulong member but "this happy family is about to be broken up."Part IV [16 minutes]

[Morty Note: If something can go wrong, it can wait 'til Thursday.  This week there are problems with the video quality, even the pictures look bad this week. Luckily you've got four diligent writers that paint those missing pictures with their words. ]
Part 1 [Written by: Jem ] Koror Day 25   The morning after. Ugh! first thing we see are flies and a really messy camp! [These people are pigs.] Then we see Janu fiddling with her bag making funny faces at Katie and Jenn in the water doing their washing (and gossiping). Looks like Jenn is cleaning a g-string. Caryn is carving another notch in the camp tree to mark the days. Janu tells us in her interview, "Last night Coby was voted off, and I was taken by surprise. I had NO words, I couldn't even say goodbye to him. I just felt this HUGE loss. I was SO taken back, I felt betrayed. Nobody had informed me of anything."

We go to Katie and Jenn still in the water, gossiping about Janu's reaction to Coby being voted out. Katie makes a comment that Janu looked like a Jack in the Box. She says, "I'm sorry, are we in summer camp now? This is a game!" Katie tells us later, "Janu is completely mad. She's crazy! Just a crazy person. All tribal council, she was sitting like a Jack in the Box with this really creepy smile and eyes on her face." [Yes, she said it that way, I had to rewind a few times.]

Caryn says, "Katie started, she was gossiping about Janu. She was saying, Oh Janu is giving looks, Janu is making faces and Janu overheard." (Makes for great viewing.) Janu confronts Katie about talking behind her back. "What are we, in junior high now? Why don't you tell me to my face" she says to Katie. Katie says, "I'm sorry, you were being creepy!" Everyone else is tying to find somewhere else to look or be. Jenn is making herself busy at the table. Steph is looking from one to the other then back to the ground. Gregg is standing beside Janu scratching his beard. Ian is looking around and not sure what to do. Tom is nowhere to be seen. [Reminds me of those really uncomfortable situations we get into sometimes.]

Gregg tells us, "Janu is turning into something, and we just have to like, put up with her. She's kinda a buzz kill to have around. But what are you going to do? I'm not going to vote someone out because I don't like them. I can get over it. She plays a bigger role where as Stephanie only threatens it. Some may think she deserves to be around. But in the grand scheme of things, winning is hardly about deserving. I don't care if someone deserves or not. It's if you have a role. You deserve to help me win a million dollars."

Reward The survivors are hustled to a beach. They have scaffolding. Jeff explains how the challenge works. They will split into two random teams of four. The teams will swim out with one piece of scaffolding at a time and erect all 6 pieces until it's high enough to reach the flag. Once they have the flag, the team that makes it back to the mat on the beach first wins reward. They are playing for a Palau feast, they will be taken by boat to meet a Palauan chief and the will be treated to a feast consisting of food, beer and dessert.

The teams are: 1. Stephanie, Ian, Katie and Jenn. 2. Tom, Janu, Caryn and Gregg.

As they start the challenge, the teams are head to head. Half way through the challenge Janu and Katie are very tired. As usual Steph and Tom are full of gusto. (I thought I was smart asking for this section! I find this to be a challenge myself to type about.) The end result is that Tom, Janu, Caryn and Gregg get their scaffolding erected first, Janu climbs up to the final platform and retrieves the flag. The whole team swims back to the beach and win the reward challenge. (YAY for them.)

Poor Steph isn't impressed. Can this woman ever get a break and be on a winning team? Jeff tells the other team, "Great effort, I've got nothing
for you, head back to camp." Part I [11 minutes]

Part 2 [Written by: mrspopcornsupriz ] Tom talks about how he hasn’t seen anything but wilderness in Palau. This was a great chance to meet the people, to be respected and return the respect.

Caryn says she’s never been in the presence of a Chief. He gave her a head piece made with flowers, and blessed her. She was moved.

Greg thinks it was nice to get outside the island. To experience what life in Palau is really like.

Janu talks about how they all sat down at this little table low to the ground with pillows to sit on. The Palau natives brought them the food, she called them epicedium delights.

Caryn said they didn’t talk strategy at all; they left the game at the door.

Half way through the meal Janu felt sick and had to excuse herself to vomit. Greg was disappointed. There are four other people that would really enjoy the meal but Janu couldn’t handle it.

The four of them return to camp. The others where eating. Greg announced that they brought Ian, Steph, Jennifer, and Katie some leftovers. There were little pieces of chicken and little donut rolls. They were very thankful. Janu reached out and took some of the food that they had brought back for the others because she didn’t get a chance to try it.

Katie talks about how Janu had puked her guts out and then ate the dessert brought back for them. Caryn did it too. But they couldn’t say anything cause they were the ones that brought it back for them.   Part II [5 minutes]

Part 3 [Written by: cappy ] Immunity Challenge  

Tree Mail:

Feeling claustrophobic? Are you prone to worry? Panic in this and you could be, the next to join the jury.

Koror comes in and Tom gives back immunity. Jeff explains that immunity is back up for grabs. One addition, the first one to opt out of the challenge will be sent to a deserted island for a day with only a machete, flint, water and basic fishing gear. The concept of the challenge is really simple. The survivors have to stay under a steel cage underwater and stay there as long as possible. The last one under the cage wins immunity.

Everybody takes a spot. At the beginning, everybody is joking around. After 6 minutes, Janu is out because of being cold. She will be exiled. Katie is relieved that its not here being exiled. At 32 minutes, the water rises and Caryn opts out of the challenge. Jenn goes underwater. Katie goes underwater and then quits. Steph now goes underwater. Ian goes underwater. Jenn is out soon followed by Steph and Ian comes back up. Its just down to Gregg, Ian and Tom. Gregg grips the bars but opts out of the challenge. Moments later, Ian quits and Tom wins his 2nd individual immunity challenge.

After the challenge, Jeff gives Tom the immunity necklace and Janu gathers her survival gear and heads off to her new home for the next day. Part III [9 minutes]
Part 4 [Written by: tabitha ]Janu looks excited as she approaches her island get away, riding in style rather than working, or should I say watching Koror work to row her ashore. Her first order of business is to get a fire burning. She tells us she doesn’t think she’ll get as scared if she has fire and says it’s difficult to make fire! (Call the press!!) She says she feels she needed to get away from Koror, because it’s them against her, and she feels very much alone and doesn’t get along with anyone anyway. She says that yesterday she really wanted to go, but you never know what tomorrow can bring. Even with flint and machete, she works until dark before finally getting a blaze. We see her eerily elated, dancing on the beach in the moonlight and claiming the moon, stars, the night and the fire.. (I think she smuggled out some of those smelly ‘shrooms on that ‘trip’ away.)

Koror Day 27

Tom and Gregg are discussing who will be going at tribal counsel. Tom says, “The girls are swaying toward Janu.” Gregg feels that is an emotional response and not wise to do since Steph is a huge threat, and Janu is not. Tom asks Ian and Gregg, “What constitutes keeping Janu over Steph?” Gregg (the nerve!) tells Tom that he feels Steph is a story unfolding. Gregg tells us Steph’s saga: “Steph conquers Ulong, Steph comes in and conquers Koror…” Gregg presses Tom hard and sways him to go against his agreement with Steph to keep her on the 'in's with him, Ian and Katie. Tom agrees to vote with Gregg, Ian, Jen and Katie to vote out Steph. Tom says to us, “It looks like Steph is going home tonight. It’s not where my heart is. But anything can happen.”

Janu is greeted by her tribe after being boated back to camp. They ask her how it was, she said, “Great!” She tells them it took about two and a half hours to make fire. Steph said, “You look better.” Janu tells them it was great to be on her own, to be away from “here” and had time to be alone. She tells us she didn’t want to come back to camp. When she got there, she didn’t like the ones wearing two faces.

Stephanie tells us that everyone had agreed that it was Janu going at tribal cousel tonight, since that was what she wanted, but she thought it was going to be her! She asked Ian if it was still Janu, and he said yes. When she said, “I don’t think so. I think it’s me.” Ian froze up solid! Of course this made Stephanie very nervous. It seemed to Steph that no one wanted to talk about it.

Tribal Council
Koror files in and take their seats before the fire. Coby walks in proudly, looking great, and tan!

Jeff: Janu, let’s talk about your night alone. You were abandoned, on a separate island, with meager supplies… How’d you do?

Janu: I did great. I finally got the fire going and then did a little dance, I was so excited!

Jeff: That had to be big accomplishment for you.
Janu: It was a very big accomplishment, and I tried to put myself asleep and in the morning it was a whole new day. It was great.

Jeff: As you left in your boat, everybody waved and said, “Good luck.” Did you buy it?

Janu: Honestly, Jeff it was um,… No. I’m sure that half of it was sincere, but the other half was, as they call it, the game. As I came home today, it just felt really strange, it felt like I didn’t belong.

Jeff: Caryn, you look like you’re counting to ten over there.

Caryn: I’m just shocked. You know, if that’s the way she chooses to take it. That’s in Janu’s head.

Jeff: Tom, at this point in the game, is it worth vs. threat? Who deserves to stay in this game vs. Who can’t I beat?

Tom: Yeah, well it’s all gamesmanship now. Nobody’s voting based on who they like or who makes me laugh. The game is on and people are basing their votes on how it positions them in the game. Eliminating competition is a part of this game.

Jeff: Gregg, same question.

Gregg: It’s not a question of worthiness, and I think threat, everyone that wants to win a million dollars here is a threat to me. You definitely want someone in the game who’s not going to really try than someone who’s going to give five million percent. Some plans have been established, some people may be threats within those plans. Unfortunately, Survivor isn’t always about fairness and who deserves what.

Jeff: Katie, why keep you?

Katie: Why keep me? (Jeff: Yeah.) Well, I don’t pose any threat at this point. Especially, as far as challenges go.

Jeff: Janu, why keep you?

Janu: (Five second pause and shakes head) No reason. They can get rid of me.

Jeff: There’s no reason they should keep you?

Janu: No, I have to be honest. I’ve had a really rocky road. So, if I was them, God I’d be sick of myself already.

Jeff: You almost seem like you want to go home.

Janu: It doesn’t matter, Jeff, whatever happens, happens. I’m completely satisfied.

Jeff: Is there a part of you that wants to say, “Vote me out.”?

Janu: Yes! Absolutely. But I don’t know what they’ll do.

Jeff: Ian, why keep someone who’s saying, “I want out of this game, I’m not going back to camp.”

Ian: Well, if you feel like you don’t want to continue in this game, if you feel like you want to set you torch down, then you have the power and the ability to lay down your torch and do that at anytime. There’s nobody keeping you here.

Jeff: Stephanie. If looks could kill, Janu would be on the ground.

Steph: It’s nothing against Janu, it just kills me. Someone who… could care less if they’re even here. And here I am, like, I’d kill to be here. (Tears, shaking voice…stay strong Steph!)

Janu: But what you need to understand is I already received what I needed to receive out of this…

Steph: Yeah, and you’re fine with it… you could care less if you leave right now…

Janu: Yes. That’s correct.

Steph: I care. I’m not done playing this game. Someone asks me to vote them out, see ya, because you don’t deserve to be here.

Jeff: (To Steph) So, you feel you are in the hot seat tonight?

Steph: I know I am. (Loses it. Aww) It kills me that someone that wants to go home that bad that, these people will keep around, just because, I don’t know why, I guess I showed too much heart and too much will.

Jeff: Tom, in your profession, unity, camaraderie, big part of it. When you hear somebody like that, laying it out and you have someone next to them saying, “Please, get rid of me”, is there a dilemma for you?

Tom: There is a dilemma. Stephanie would fit into 108 truck in a moment and everyone would love to work with her. It’s not work and it’s not camaraderie, it’s Survivor. So, there’s a huge difference here.

Jeff: If you had your way, what would happen tonight?

Janu: I would ask the tribe to vote me out and keep Stephanie in.

Jeff: What’s the difference between you laying your torch down and you looking at this group and saying, “Vote me out.”?

Janu: I guess after reflecting and understanding this there would be no difference, so I would be willing to lay down my torch, so that Stephanie can stay in the game.

Steph: Not just for me. If she wants to lay down her torch and quit this game she can do it, but not on my account.

Janu: Do you want me to rephrase it? What I am saying is, I will lay down my torch and I don’t want Stephanie to feel that I am doing it for her. That’s something that I have to do.

Jeff: I just want to be clear. You are, on your own, quitting this game.

Janu: Yes, Jeff, I will lay down my torch this evening.

Jeff: Well, I don’t know if it’s appropriate, we have rain coming down, maybe this is your final epiphany or cleansing moment. I see that you brought all your belongings, go ahead and gather them and bring your torch over. Janu, per your wishes, this game is over for you, but you will not go home, you will return and be a part of our jury.

Janu: Thank you, Jeff.

Jeff: Good night. Another strange turn of events at Tribal Council. Steph you’ve hung in there a long time, overcome a lot of odds. You’ve escaped another one tonight. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Grab your torches and head back to camp. Good night.
