[This portion written by: Beck] The segment opens at camp after the Tribal Council that voted Ami off.  Chris says that when they got back everything was going good.  With Ami gone it meant one less to worry about.  He is proud to be the last man standing.

All seemed well and good and like it was going to be a quiet night but there was still a lot of emotion left in Twila.  Eliza was talking about  Twila swearing on her son's life.  Twila told Eliza it was like "rubbing salt in her wounds" to keep bringing it up.  Twila says she is sorry she said it,  but she is tired of hearing about it.  Twila says the only one she has to contend with is her son when she gets home.  Twila told the tribe members that they could "Kiss her Ass."  Scout, Eliza and Julie tell Twila they are over it and will stop talking about it.  Twila points directly at Julie and tells her to "LET IT GO!"

The shot changes to an interview with Julie, she says that she thinks Twila's outburst looked like "an act of heinous insecurity." Julie goes to say that she is glad Twila had an outburst because "It completely turned everyone off."  She may have to use it against Twila sometime in the future.

Eliza, Scout and Julie are in the hut and Eliza says that she cannot believe Twila spoke to her in the fashion she did and "Nobody speaks to her that way and she does NOT tolerate it."

Next Morning:
Eliza and Julie are sitting by the fire and Julie whispers "Twila is coming." Twila throws her wood down and Eliza and Julie wonder why she is so mad. They say Twila is hiding a grudge--against herself.

The shot turns to Chris and Chris says he knows it was not a good thing for Twila to have that outburst because she offended the tribe and Twila has also taken a road she does not need to take and it is dangerous to her position in the game.

Julie and Eliza are alone in the woods and Julie suggests to Eliza that they should keep her instead of Twila.  Eliza tells the camera she would consider making a deal with Julie if it was in her best interest and sometimes you have to do that to get further in the game.  

Julie and Eliza discuss approaching Chris with the idea but Julie knows that Chris' decision could end her game abruptly.  

Reward Challenge:
Jeff explains that today's challenge is comprised of four previous challenges.  To start with, all five contestants will begin by crawling through a mud pit.  The first four through will continue to the pig pen where they have to catch a marked piglet.   The first three through will continue to put a tiki puzzle together.   The first two will continue by crossing a balance beam, then jumping into a net and then getting a sling-shot and the first one to break three tiles will win reward.

Reward is a horseback ride to Mount Yasur, a picnic of hotdogs, hot chocolate, wine and beer and spending the night in a hut.

The challenge begins with Chris, Eliza, Twila and Julie being the first four through the mud pit.  Scout is eliminated. 

Chris, Julie and Twila are the first three to catch a pig.  Eliza is eliminated.  

Twila and Julie are the first two to finish the puzzle.  Chris is eliminated (Chris failed to find the last piece of the puzzle on the ground that he nearly tripped over)

Twila and Julie climb the ladder to the balance beam.  They both cross.  As Twila jumps off the balance beam onto a net, she lands on her knee and injures her leg.  She gets off the net and hobbles over to the sling-shot booth where Julie has already broken two tiles.  

Julie breaks her third tile and JULIE WINS AWARD!! She chooses Chris to join her.     Part I [10 minutes]

[This portion written by: jem2405] After the Reward Challenge, Chris and Julie freshen up and make their way through to a jungle clearing. As they emerge from the trees, they notice the whole area is ash and they are now at the base of Mount Yasur. The lucky twosome go strolling at the base of the volcano. They are astonished at the awesome fiery landscape.

In his camera interview, Chris said, "Julie won Reward Challenge and picked me. After we cleaned up from the mud challenge, we journeyed through the jungle and finally came out in the extremely dense ash area."

Julie explained, "The decision to bring Chris. I knew none of the others would pick me. But Chris and I have a bond and I needed to talk to him. He is my door to open if I want to stay in this game."

Julie and Chris meet their guide that will be taking them to the top of the mountain later that night. He introduces himself as Joe Ture from Tanna as they mount their horses for their next adventure.

Making their way to the hut, they pass beautiful waterfalls and finally come to a small river. Joe and Julie make it across with no problem but Chris has trouble getting his horse to cooperate. Joe gives some helpful instruction and finally his horse makes it across the stream. Chris points out the horse seemed nervous. ( I think he was.)

Julie commented, "There was one part when we crossed the river. Chris just looking around. He looked so hopeless that I just had to laugh." ( I have to agree. Chris isn't much of a horseman.)

Chris remarked, "This horse and me had trouble getting to know each other. It took us a while, you know, for a trusting relationship. So it was a rough start with the horse but everything else was great."

They rode along a long winding trail and finally came to the bottom of Mount Yasur. There was a small hut set up with a feast of hot dogs, rolls, relish, onions, beer and wine. Joe takes them a little further away from the hut to a small vent from the volcano.

Joe puts the hot dogs on a metal stick and places them with some corn into the vent. He puts a rock over the hole so the food will cook. The vent is a natural oven and in three minute the hot dogs are done while the corn takes a little longer.

Chris tells us, "Julie won reward and it didn't surprise me that she took me. She wants to get further along in the game and she knows her name is coming up for elimination this week."

Sitting down and talking game plans together, Julie wants to know where Chris' loyalty lies. She really tried to work Chris into voting out Twila this week. Julie explains Chris is her rock. Chris remains undecided as he strategizes with Julie.

Back at base camp, Twila and Eliza are going at each other about some bananas Twila has buried for the purpose of getting them to ripen. Scout is egging on the argument. Twila makes it clear to Eliza if she asks about the bananas one more time, she will let the damn things rot in the ground.

Eliza complains, "Twila has been telling us she has hidden these bananas. She buried them to ripen and won't tell us where they are. We just can't hold back anymore. We don't get along. I am just sick of Twila. I want her to go home now." They argue for a while longer. Eliza is just sick of the way Twila treats her all the time.

Back at Mount Yasur, the three amigos, Julie, Chris and Joe, enjoy their reward trek. With Joe's expert guidance, the two Survivors make their way to the top of the mountain at nightfall. The threesome sit to admire the lava shooting up from the top of the mountain.

Chris compared the spewing lava display to a Fourth of July fireworks. (I'm sure there is a technical term but I don't know it.) Julie and Chris appear to really enjoy the entire overnight trip and agree it's the opportunity of a lifetime. In separate camera interviews, Julie and Chris point out this to be one of the most amazing experiences in their lives. Part II [9 minutes]

[This portion written by: mrspopcornsupriz] Day 35 Chris and Julie return to camp. Chris and Scout hug, Scout says they are solid as a rock. Chris talks about how it’s game time, all four are together. Twila thinks everything is OK. Chris is keeping an eye on things. Eliza says if Chris goes with Julie she will as well. Chris says it depends on what’s in their best interest. Scout and Twila will stick together. If Julie stays, Chris and Eliza will be in the final two. They talk about voting Twila out. Chris doesn’t trust anyone but thinks everyone trusts him. He admits to playing both sides. He tells Eliza they should wait and see how the challenge goes 1st before deciding.

Immunity Challenge
Jeff is going to tell them a story about a Legendary Man. They must listen and try to remember as much as possible.

"Back in the 1200s this guy Chief Roy comes to this land and conquers it. His first goal was to bring peace by uniting all of the tribes and he accomplished that, but sadly the peace didn't last very long. Fifteen years later Roy was murdered, not by an enemy or a rival chief but by his own brother. Certainly it wasn't forbidden to bury Chief on the land that he ruled but the locals were so afraid of the powerless spirit of Roy that they took the body to a remote location and they buried him there with his 18 assistant chiefs, their wives and all of Roy's wives.  

Before being buried alive the men were given a strong brew of kava, not because it was customary but because it put them in a dream-like relaxed state. The women, however, were strangled to death before being buried. Once the ceremony was complete, the land was declared taboo and nobody visited for seven centuries. One footnote, the name Roy, is not a popular name today. In fact it's never been used since."

Here’s how the game goes. There are six huts containing questions. The answer is either A or B. If you grab a black tusk, your answer is wrong. You must go back to the middle and throw it in the urn. If it is white, if it correct and you must go back and put it on your necklace. The 1st person to answer all 5 right wins.

Eliza’s first question. "When Roy Mata conquered the land, what was his first goal?" Unit Tribe or Become Chief. Unite Tribes true. Eliza gets it right.

Chris’s first question:  "The body of Roy Mata was not buried on his homeland because……."  It was forbidden or they feared his spirit. Chris answered they feared his spirit which was correct. Chris gets it right.

Julie’s first question:  "Roy Mata was poisoned by his….."  Family Member or His tribe. Family Member was correct. Julie answered it right.

Twila’s first question:  "Before being buried alive the man drank kava because …….."  Customary or it relaxed them. Relaxed is the right answer. Twila got it right.

Scout’s first question: "The wives of the Assistant Chief serving under Roy Mata were also buried alive. True or False?" Scout answered True. She was wrong.

Eliza’s second question. "To this date the name Roy Mata is …..Never Used or Popular?" The answer was Never Used. Eliza got her second question right.

Chris got his second right. Eliza got her second right. Julie got her third right. Eliza got her fourth right. Julie got her fourth right. Julie had to wait for Twila to finish to get to her fifth question. Eliza got her fifth right. Eliza wins immunity! Now it’s time to head back to camp.
 Part III [10 minutes]

[This portion written by: Cappy] Tribal Council The final five walk into tribal council and Jeff calls in the jury. Sarge, Chad, Leann and Ami voted out at the last tribal council.

The first topic is who all feels who shouldn't deserve to win and who does. Twila believes there is a way for someone not to deserve to win. This is the main discussion of the tribal council. Julie believes that in a way there are people that care about her. Chris says that this vote is the hardest because he is trapped in the middle. He doesn't want to vote.

Eliza chooses to keep the immunity and Scout is called to vote. We get to see Scout vote for Julie and see Eliza vote for Twila.

Everybody is done voting and Jeff goes to tally the votes, "Once the votes are read the decision if final. Person being voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes." The votes are read in this order: Julie. Twila. Julie. Twila. Julie.

Julie brings Jeff her torch and Jeff says "Julie the tribe has spoken." and snuffs the torch. Just four left, three tribal councils, three days, two immunity challenges and one winner.

Julies final words: "Here I am, its day 36. I'm done. Little bit of a surprise, you know I thought I had this kinda straight forward brother/sister sock each other around relationship and was kinda my crutch today and he told me 100% that he was going to vote for Twila and I dont know if he changed the last minute. Julie placed 5th on Survivor: Vanuatu and is the 5th jury member in who will win the million dollars. Will it be Chris, the last man standing? Eliza, the paranoid little stick girl? Scout, the old lady flying under the radar or Twila the mind-speaking highway repairer? Part IV [12 minutes]

TODAY YOU'LL PUSH YOU LIMITS OF SWIMMING, BALANCE AND DIVING. A TEST OF WILL AND STAMINA. FOR THE LAST SIX STILL SURVIVING, A GAME CHANGE AND REWARD, WITH REJUVENATING POWER. FUEL FOR YOUR BODY, FUEL FOR YOUR SOUL AND A HOT RELAXING SHOWER.

Everyone gasps, "OH MY GOD!" Twila pleads, "I sure wish Eliza wins this one. She is like a little stick girl now." The camera shows a shot of Eliza's back bones (YUK!) We hear her say, "PLEASE take me with you if you win. I'm starving to death here." (Maybe I need to go on the show! ... LOL)

The Challenge
Jeff drives up in a New Silver Pontiac, gets out and says, "Rather than just telling you all what you are playing for, I thought I would show you. For the winner of today's challenge, a New Pontiac G6 with sunroof/remote start . . . a good looking car." (Yeah, can I have one for writing, Morty?) Jeff continues, "That's just the first part. The winner, plus second and third place, will drive in this car to a Vanuatu Resort to take a hot shower, go sit on the beach and sip cocktails. Then later, they will sit down to dinner. So you guys know exactly what you are playing for, I have the menu for you to read. You can have as many items as you want and can eat until the restaurant closes. Then a good night's sleep on a comfy bed and come back in the morning." Jeff asks "Is that worth playing for?" They all say NO and that's the end of the show. (hehe JOKING)

Jeff motions them to head to the beach for the challenge. The challenge has the Survivors starting at a point on the shore and then swimming out to a platform where they navigate across beams and outrigger boats. At the end of the last platform, they dive in the water and swim out to a buoy. There is a rope underwater with three flags attached to each. They have to swim down to unclip the flag and then navigate back across the platforms. The tired Survivors then have to swim to shore to attach the flag to the pole and go back for the rest. There are three flags in total. The first one with all three flags wins the Pontiac in addition to the overnight luxury of food, lodging and showers. The first three to finish get to go on the overnight Reward Challenge together.

Jeff starts the Survivors off. Ami, Chris, Eliza and Julie have a lead at first. Twila is next with Scout trailing in last. While making their way on the obstacles, they have a few nasty falls. I found this challenge fun to watch but hard to commentate. Ami is the first one with a flag followed close behind by Eliza. They pretty much lead for most of the challenge. Twila and Scout are not really contenders. Chris and Julie battle it out for third place. Julie gets pretty banged up in the process when taking the last flag back. I got exhausted just watching them. Ami takes a fall in the last leg and that's one of the reasons she didn't win the car.

Eliza wins the car with Ami and Chris coming in second and third place, respectively. All three climb in Eliza's new silver Pontiac and go off for the much needed refreshment of the overnight reward.Part I [10 minutes]
[This portion written by: Cman] When we come back from the commercial, Ami, Chris and Eliza are joy riding down the dirt roads of Vanuatu. Eliza, behind the wheel, is tearing it up in her Pontiac G6 with sunroof and a very nice engine by the sound of it.

Soon, the three make it to the resort and are surprised to find....a room. and beds! and, in Ami's words, "Toilet paper!". Soon, the gang all showers (with Chris getting nothing but cold water).

Eliza and Ami meet outside to have a little "I'm sorry" session, apologizing back and forth about the previous night's votes. Soon, Chris joins them, and they eat, drink, and sit in the sun listening to interesting Vanuatu music

Back on the island, Scout is ashamed of her physical condition, and both she and Twila are gripping about the challenge. Scout says in a interview session that "If I had the body I had six years ago, I would outlast all these women."  Twila and Scout soon talk strategy, and Julie gets an earful of it.

At the resort, the three amigos are at a restaurant, chowing down and eating like their is no tomorrow. Soon, Ami provides some "helpful" advice to separate Twila and Scout. She then conveniently walks away, and although Chris wants no part in it, Eliza seems enchanted. Later, in the bed (Eliza and Ami, Chris on couch snoring it up), Ami and Eliza talk more strategy and more Scout/Twila separating, and by the time Ami doses off, Eliza seems like she is thinking about Ami's words Part II [7 minutes]

[This portion written by: Jem2405]Day 32: Alinta  Julie wakes up to see the three Reward Challenge winners coming back. She says, "It's great to have new smells in camp. Especially, after having to smell Chris cause he stinks!" Meanwhile, Scout smells Eliza's hair. (watching this is a little freaky to me) In her camera interview, Twila said, "I'm sure Ami worked on Eliza pretty hard while they were gone; trying to swing her vote. I'm worried. Ami is so pissed at me. No telling what she will do."

Scout goes to get wood. She is rather put out by the other girls sitting around the "beauty parlor" plucking hairs from their eyebrows. She is annoyed they are sitting on their butts doing nothing while she's working hard. In her camera interview, Scout says, "I am really annoyed they are sitting there, plucking hairs when we need fire wood. Ami is a control freak. She likes to control the world and everything in it."

We hear Leann, Eliza and Julie talking about Scout. They think Scout is jealous because back in her day, she could do everything. Ami comments, "Scout thinks she could kick my ass."

Ami confesses, "Scout is irritated with me. I don't know what it is with her. Maybe it's because I still have my body and she doesn't. But after Trial Council last week, she really pissed me off. It's like she put cayenne pepper in my pants and said, 'Let's dance'. I'm ready to dance!"

In his interview, Chris reveals, "They're a bunch of alley cats going at it. (Have to agree there) I know it's the best thing for me. I'm sitting back waiting for them to shoot each other. Ami needs to go home. She is a threat. We knocked her off her horse. She needs to get back up, dust herself off and work to pull something off."

Day33
Julie, Eliza and Ami go to retrieve the Tree Mail. They find a puck with a note attached:

SOME ARE FASTER AND STRONGER
AND SMARTER AND SUCH
BUT THIS TIME YOU ARE SAFE,
IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TOUCH.

Eliza thinks it's balancing. Chris tells us, "I haven't been able to overcome the physical aspects of the women. I need to win this Immunity Challenge. I'm the only guy standing."

Immunity Challenge
Jeff asks Ami for the necklace back. She jokes that she can't get it off. Jeff tells her, "It doesn't work that way," and takes it back. The rest of the Survivor gang shoot her a glare.

Today's challenge consists of a shuffleboard with all the islands and volcanos on it. Jeff told the Survivors, "You will each get a different color puck. Your goal is to land as many of your five pucks on the islands as you can. If you land in a volcano, you're safe because the puck can not be hit out of the hole. You can also use your pucks strategically to knock other people off their island. We will draw numbers each round and there are five rounds." The Survivors all acknowledge they understand and the challenge starts.

Pucks are flying.

Total Pucks
Chris - 3
Twila - 2
Eliza - 0 (She knocked her own puck off the board.)
Ami - 1 (She also knocked one of her pucks off.)
Julie - 2
Scout - 1

Chris wins this challenge with three pucks. Ami and Julie look crushed. I know Ami and Julie were close. Jeff places the necklace around Chris' neck and they all head back to camp to strategize.
  Part III [11 minutes]

[This portion written by: Morty] As the islanders return from the challenge, Chris says how happy he is to have finally won something. "It is a bit humorous that it took a non-physical challenge to finally beat the chicks-- but I'm looking at it as I've achieved something great here--  I have immunity, and that's all that matters now." 

Ami tells us that this was one of her weaker performances, and in a challenge she feels was the most important one for her to win. 

Meanwhile, Twila and Eliza are on the beach talking about tonight's vote.  Twila says that Ami has got to go, but Eliza asks Twila, "But then after I vote off Ami, are you going to vote me off?"  Twila assures her she wont.  Eliza doesn't trust Twila, because last week Twila swore to Ami on her son's name that she would vote with the her group. 

Trust is a two-way street, and Twila's concerned that Ami may have talked Eliza into voting her off, and in-fact: Ami was campaigning to get Eliza to vote off Scout.  Ami knows that without Eliza's help, she'll be voted off.  Eliza feels that she likes and connects with Ami, more than Twila.  Eliza doesn't seem to understand the it was Ami that tried to orchestrate her demise at the last tribal council.

TRIBAL COUNCIL   
Jeff asks Twila what happened to the to vote off the men, "Chris is still here, clearly the women haven't stayed strong.."

"My desire was to see what would happen if the women did stay strong, and did stay together.  Once the two tribes merged, several of us weren't able to play the game, we were sitting ducks. A position came along that a group of us could make a change in the game, so we did."

Jeff: "It seems to me, that you wanted the women to stick together only as long as it served you, and the minute it didn't, you would change strategies.  There's nothing wrong with that, but clearly, this whole 'women power' thing is over."

Before Jeff calls for the vote, Ami gets another chance to call Twila a flat out liar again,  and Twila tells her to grow up and get over it, "Screw you.  You've been had." 

Eliza tells Jeff how she was disappointed that Twila would lie on her son's name.  She also says how much she would miss Ami, how much spirit Ami brings to the tribe, and how Ami is the big sister she never had. The two girls cry a bit, and Eliza says how much she loves Eliza.

The voting begins.  Twila is up first and she votes for Ami, calling her a drama queen to the end.  Chris votes next, also for Ami, Julie votes for Scout, Scout votes for Ami,

Jeff reads the votes, "First vote Ami, [next vote] Scout, one vote Ami, one vote Scout, next vote, Ami.  Two votes Ami, one vote Scout. [Next vote] Scout, we're tied, two votes Ami, two votes Scout. Ami, that's three votes Ami, two votes Scout.  I'll read the last vote:  Thirteenth person voted out of Survivor Vanuatu, Ami, you need to bring me your torch."

As Ami puts her torch in the slot, she turns to the Survivors and says, "Good luck. youngens.."

The tribe has spoken, yadda, yadda...   In Ami's post-partum interview she laughs and says if she could just hold Twila's head under water for two minutes she thinks she'd feel much better.   Part IV [13 minutes]

Note:  Sorry for the delay in posting our episode 12 summary. I'd like to thank jem2405 for pulling double duty and writing two portions, as the person originally scheduled for part one was unreachable.  My apologies to Cappy who wrote his usual quality fourth quarter portion, and I managed to loose it in cyberspace.   

Alinta has just returned from tribal council.  Chris is alone with Ami, Leann, Eliza and Julie.  He tells them Twila and Scout’s plan, “Scout, Twila came to me and Chad wanting to form an alliance with us, and Scout thought she could get you and Leann to vote for Eliza, and when Eliza was gone, then Scout, Twila, me and Chad would have the numbers on you Ami and Leann, and we'd get rid of Ami first. Swear to god on my family's life.”  Chris explains in his interview, “I narked out Scout and Twila and let them know they had conspired with me and Chad for an alliance. I mixed things up as soon as we got back. It's going to be a mess.”

 The tribe gathers on the beach to compete in a luxury challenge.  Jeff:  “It's no big secret, after 28 days, the one thing you miss the more than food...  Is ‘love.’ Here's what we've set out. We brought in a satellite. We have a computer hooked up to the internet. The winner will get a one-hour real-time e-mail back-and-forth chat. You type something, they can type back to you. This is a chance to get caught up with what's going on back home, give a little love and certainly get a whole lot of love that you need to make it through the last 11 days.”   

 To whet their appetite, each person got a one minute sample.   Jeff picked Twila to go first, and she asked if someone could type for her, as she doesn’t know how to type.  Jeff surprises them by revealing that they’ve been provided with a camera, and they’ll able to videoconference with their loved one.

 Twila was connected with her son, James. 
James: “Hi, mom, how are you?”
Twila: “I was doing tough until I seen you.”
James:  “You're still tough. We love you. We miss you a ton.”
Twila: “I love you too, buddy. I miss you so much. “
Jeff:  “Twila, you have to say your good-byes.”

After each Survivor got a minute to talk to a special person at home, the game began.  Jeff will ask five questions about previous challenges. At the end of five questions, the person with the most points wins the reward.  

First question:  “In the seventh immunity challenge, who broke the most tiles with a slingshot overall?” The correct answer is “Rory.” And everybody has it right.  Next question:  “In the great escape challenge, who was the first man to begin assembling his ladder?”  The correct answer was “Chad.” Everybody got it right. “In the second immunity challenge where tribes paired up to collect puzzle pieces while blind folded, who sat out?”  The correct answer was Dolly. Scout, Leann, Ami, Julie, and Eliza got it right.

Next question:  “In the fourth immunity challenge, there were four different symbols used on the colored tiles.”  Each correct symbol they identified was worth one point The four symbols were:  the volcano, the pig head, the coconut tree or the palm tree and a skull.

Eliza won a chat with her mom, but in yet another surprise, her mom was there in person.  Eliza was shocked that her mother, Susan, was there, and it wasn’t to be just a one hour chat, her mother will be staying overnight.  Since all seven family and loved ones were there, the six that didn’t win were able to greet and hug their special someone.  Everybody hugged and cried, so I switched to ABC and watched “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.”   Part I [15 minutes]

The Survivors made souvenirs for Susan to take back home to the others.

Eliza showed her mom around the camp and offered her some of their trail mix made from fried coconuts and planteens. “Is it safe for me to eat it?” she asked.  In her interview, Susan admitted that she was really worried about Eliza being on the island. “I was worried about bug bites. I was worried about parasites. I was worried that she wouldn't be flossing every day. I was worried about Ebola virus. I was worried about all these things in the sea, the coral and the things that can cut you and the fish that can bite you. I was worried”

 Ami, Julie, Leann, Twila and Scout go for a walk together to talk seriously about whom they’ll be voting off the island.  They agree that Eliza will be the next to go, but Leann has some reservations about the plan, she thinks it might be better to vote off Chris.  Leann also doubts Twila’s loyalty, but Twila swears on her son, James, head that they can trust her.  In the end, they all agree, Eliza will go next.

 When it came time to say goodbye, Susan took off her shirt and gave it to Eliza because she didn’t have anything with sleeves. “She came out and stripped to her panties and left in only her bra. She's that kind of woman.” Eliza said proudly. Part II [7 minutes]  

On the way to check for tree mail, Julie lets Chris know that his head is on the chopping block, and he must win immunity to stay in the game.  They receive tree mail that reads:  “To save your own skin, you'll need more than just will, brains and brawn, determination and skill. Yes, it's a race, so you must hurry, only one will be safe and one more joins the jury. The race is on.”

When they arrive at the course, they find their love ones are still there and will be competing with them in the challenge. The players are paired with their loved one. Each pair will be designated a color. The loved ones will be blind folded. The Survivors will verbally direct their loved ones to retrieve three bags of puzzle pieces. Once they have all three bags, they’ll take off the blindfold and start putting the puzzle together. The first pair to finish the puzzle wins immunity for their Survivor.

 Chris was franticly directing his girlfriend, Laurie, to walk faster.  Laurie responded and was the second to bring in both bags of puzzle pieces, but in the end it was Ami that finished the puzzle first and won immunity.  Part III [7 minutes]

The girls let Chris in on their plan to vote off Eliza, and Chris is thrilled that it’s not him that’ll be leaving tonight.  Later, Scout and Twila get Chris alone.  Twila asks Chris if he’d like to shake the game up a bit, and Chris says he would.  “Then there’s one person you should be talking to.” Twila tells him.  She explains that if he talks to Eliza and gets her to vote for Leann (Twila and Scout would have been happy ousting Leann or Ami, but Ami had immunity).  With Scout, Twila, Eliza and Chris together, they have the votes they need. 

Chris tells Eliza the plan, but she doesn’t like it because she doesn’t trust Twila and Scout.  Chris convinces her that if they’re telling the truth, she’ll be out tonight, if they’re lying, she won’t have lost anything.  Eliza reluctantly agrees.

 Tribal Counsel:  Jeff calls in the jury, Sarge and Chad.  Jeff asks Eliza, “Did having your mom here wake you up to how close you are to winning this thing?”

 “Yes, having gotten to the point of the family visit in this game made me realize how far along we really are because we have talked about this on day seven maybe, and it was a long-term goal for all of us.”

 Jeff also pointed out how determined Chris was to win immunity.  Chris says that he didn’t tell Laurie it was ‘life or death’ but he felt that it was. Jeff asked Eliza if she’s “Becoming the girl who cried wolf,”  because she’s always expecting to be voted off.  She tells Jeff, “Every time I get back to camp and I find out, oh my God, I was this close to being voted off. It's not paranoia. It's valid 100%. I very well might be going home tonight. No joke.”

 Jeff:  “Let's get to the vote. Ami, you have immunity.”
Ami: “I'm going to keep it. “
Jeff:  “You cannot vote for Ami. Everybody else is fair game. Leann, you're up.“

 Leann votes to kick Eliza out saying, “Group consensus. Everybody agreed, but you are like a little sister. Sorry Eliza, I had to stick with the team, and I guess it’s your time to go.”

 Jeff: “I'll go tally the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote, Eliza. Leann. One vote Eliza, one vote Leann. Eliza. Two votes Eliza, one vote Leann. Eli zoo. Three votes Eliza, one vote Leann. Leann. Three votes Eliza, two votes Leann. Leann. We're tied. Three votes Leann, three votes Eliza. I'll read the last vote. 12th person voted out of Survivor Vanuatu, Leann. Bring me your torch. Leann, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go. Well, as the last  vote was read, there were some very smug looks, other faces were absolutely shocked. Nine days left, this game is just been turned on its head. Grab your torches and head back to camp. Good night. “

 As the votes were read, Eliza realized that had she not voted as Chris directed her to, she would have been the one voted out.  Leann, on-the-other-hand, was shocked and said, “I am just floored. I just got done saying how it wasn't a life-or-death situation for me. I was fooled. I was fooled big-time. I'd love to know who voted for me because I am just freaken flabbergasted at how someone can look you in the eye and lie.” Part IV [11 minutes]

[This portion written by: Beck ] Night 21
We begin with Ami being interviewed and saying she enjoyed Tribal Council (her exact words were "absolute heaven").  She was still glad to be in the tribe and enjoyed that the women "shocked the SHiznit  out of the men"  She was referring to Twila and Julie voting on the women's side rather than the men...

Chris is interviewed next, he says the men "Put too much confidence in Julie and Twila"  He says that he, Sarge and Chad were in a curious situation and it will be tough to survive."

Twila is interviewed next and says that she, "Thought she could trust the men but it did not look as if it were going that way."

Sarge is next interviewed and simply states "As you go through life you learn more and more about people."

The interview with Twila continues and she says, "Before Tribal Council she still could not trust the guys because they told her AND Julie that they were going to be in the final four"...She continues, "I just did it to them before they could do it to me"...

Chris' interview continues with "Twila and Julie thought they were on the bottom of the men's pecking order but they are at the bottom of the women's pecking order because they were gone from the tribe for so long"...Chris warns, "It is not over, anything can happen."

Day 22
Sarge tells Chris he is hurting and that he thought Twila was sincere and he does not understand her reasoning. Chris replied, "It must be a woman thing." Sarge says, "Hats off to the women, they got me."

The next shot shows Scout singing (for lack of a better word) and Sarge is just glaring at her...he says he feels awkward talking to any of the women.
Reward Challenge:  The Luxury challenge was a series of questions about Vanuatu culture.  The players were asked multiple choice & True/False questions, if they get the answer right, they get to light a torch in a ceremonial skull representing another teammate.  When a player has all three of their skull lit, they are out of the game.  They will be playing for a helicopter trip to Mount Morro, a dormant volcano.  While sitting on the top of Mount Morro, the winner will enjoy Champagne and chicken wings.

The first question: "Vanuatu means? A: Land of fire.  B: Land Eternal  C: Land of spirits."  Eliza, Sarge, and Scout  got it right.  Eliza lit one of Chad's skulls, Sarge lit Scout's and Scout lit Sarge's. 

Sarge is the first one out but not before lighting one of Julie's skulls and Julie remarks, "I did not hit one of yours" and Sarge replies, "It has gone beyond that"...

Chad is next out followed by Chris.  As Chris makes his way over to the men he makes a comment to the effect of "No, it is not a woman/man thing."  Sarge laughingly says, "Estrogen City"

Twila lights Eliza's skull for the second time in a row and then Scout lights Eliza's last skull...Eliza glares at Scout and Scout says, "She is so smart." Eliza sits with the men and continues to glare at Scout and Twila.  After a while Jeff comments that Eliza is still simmering and Eliza says, "Yes, I am."

Leann wins the reward challenge and gets to take a member with her and she chooses Julie to go...They are very excited to be going on the helicopter ride and the other members head back to camp.  Part I [11 minutes]

Our Trip to Mount Morro

Start Over

The two girls go off on their trip to Mount Morro. Julie thanks Leanne for choosing her. Leanne picked her because she was unclear about where Julie stands in the alliance.  They leave in a helicopter, holding hands, and loving it. They can’t believe what they are doing, what they are seeing. They went threw a gorge and it was incredible. The volcano had a steep decline, an untouched environment. The girls dived into the wings. Cracked open the champagne. They talked strategy with each other. They talk about getting rid of Eliza before Chris. Neither of them wants to be in the final 4 with Eliza or Scout. Julie and Leanne talked about being loyal to each other in the game.  Part II [9 minutes]

[This portion written by: jem2405 ] Eliza goes to get the tree mail. Just as she is reaching in she is greeted by a PIG! He is tethered to the mail tree! Wouldn’t you know it. The day she goes alone she has to cart this thing back. She tells us that she has no experience with animals (poor piggy) She un-tethers the pig and drags him down to the beach all the while the pig is screaming bloody murder. Eliza is talking to the pig saying “Shhhh, C’mon why don’t you want to go”. (Could it be that he knows there is a hungry tribe waiting for him)

When she gets to the beach she sees Chris in the distance and yells for him to come help her. The whole camp minus Ami, come runny. I'm sure they all see the same thing. FOOD! Sarge and Twila have machete in hand and all they can think is BACON! Sarge wants to eat him so bad he can taste him. Eliza tells him NO and reads from the letter.

"Health, wealth a status symbol. With this pig you could have it made. Feed him, clean him and take good care. Give him shelter in the shade. Soon enough some of you will learn the value of this pig. So keep him happy healthy and in your camp. Soon he could pay off big."

Sarge says he still wants to eat him and all he sees is ribs. Twila agrees he looks tasty.

Back at camp Sarge is making a friend of the pig. He is sitting alone bonding with it. He is as happy about not being able to eat the pig as he was when he found out it was estrogen city moved into the camp. He cant link himself to estrogen city so he is going to bond with the pig. (If I was the pig I would run). All the girls are looking on thinking Sarge has lost his marbles.

Immunity Challenge
As they walk up to meet Jeff he notices the look on Sarge’s face. He says “WOW, you look angry Sarge”. Sarge says “Just thinking”. Jeff walks over and take the Immunity Necklace from Sarge. Individual Immunity is back up for grabs.

The challenge consists of Jeff showing the a configuration of a puzzle and they have to make that same configuration after he takes the picture away. They have about 15 seconds to memorize it and one minute to duplicate it on the puzzle in front of them. Get it right and you move onto the next round. Get it wrong and you are out. Last one standing has Immunity. Please randomly choose a puzzle board and we will start.

First Round - Eliza, Julie, Twila, Leann, Ami and Scout are right. Chris, Chad and Sarge’s are wrong. ( The boys look very unhappy)

Round Two - Eliza, Julie, Ami and Leann right. Scout and Twila are wrong. (Again the men are not happy as they want Eliza out)

Round Three - Jeff gives them less time to look at the configuration. (The girls are frantically trying to make their puzzle right.)
Julie, Ami and Leann right. Eliza wrong. (the men are a little happier)

Round four - Jeff gives even less time. (They are all getting flustered)
Ami right. Leann and Julie wrong.

Ami Wins Immunity.  Jeff Place the necklace around Ami’s neck and they head back to camp. Part III [10 minutes]

[This portion written by: Cappy ] Tribal Council- The Alinta tribe walks into tribal council. They put their torches in their slots and sat down. The first topic was how Eliza was mad about being the first woman to be eliminated from the reward challenge. Jeff stated that Eliza was struggling with the women ever since the first tribal council. Now Eliza made up a "Rory syndrome" in which somebody feels they may be voted out. Sarge was asked about the sense of division. There was four people voting one way and two voting another way. (That's what he said! Think he forgot three more people...)

"Sarge the tribe has spoken." Jeff snuffs the torch and Sarge leaves. Sarge is the 10th person eliminated from Survivor: Vanuatu in a 7-1-1 vote. Those that voted for Sarge were Ami, Chris, Eliza, Julie, Leann, Scout, and Twila. Sarge voted for Eliza and Chad voted for Ami. Sarge is the first member of the jury who will cast a vote in choosing who will win the $1,000,000 and title of Sole Survivor. Part IV[12 minutes]

"Now the Battle Really Begins"
[This portion written by: Cman]  As the show begins, we arrive at the Lopevi tribe where no one is shocked or surprised with John's eviction. The night there is obviously cold, because, as best told by Sarge, "We were sitting around the fire, and Julie sits down between my legs." Obviously the guys noticed too, with Chad commenting that Julie stayed there for a LONG time.

The next morning, All the guys are all giddy over the event, with Chad comparing Julie to Mary Ann from "Gilligan's island." Sarge doesn't seem to mind the close company. "Ya know, she's fine, she's a model". Later, Julie, Twila and Sarge are laying on their stomachs gettin a nice tan, when Julie suggests that Sarge drop trou. He does, and Twila and Julie decide to also. Soon, Chris and Chad are calling for Sarge to put his pants on, while Julie lies naked in the sand

At Yasur, Rory is already commenting. "If Scout and I stopped working, this whole camp would stop". He's obviously referring to that while he and Scout were chopping, gathering, and boiling, Leann was being a little crabby, not liking the food and moodily chopping coconuts. Eliza, on the other hand, is fire challenged and is having trouble boiling water, and Ami is being queen bee in her own little world in the hammock. Rory quotes "I'm tired of these women, I'm tired of them"

As the tribes meet at challenge beach, Yasur notices that both of the women are still there. Scout says she had a dream in which Twila was voted out and "she was crying and Twila was crying". Sarge then states "Twila's not going anywhere". After this, Jeff Probst reveals the reward. Cookies, milk, and a BIG OL CHOCOLATE CAKE. let the challenge begin!!!!!  Part I [12 minutes]

[This portion written by: Beck] The reward challenge is water tossing game...The members must toss the water out of their bucket into another members bucket in an assembly line whereas the last member will fill a bucket at the top of a platform...When the platform bucket is full the bucket will lower and cause the other side to ignite a fire...The Lopevi tribe wins reward...

The reward is milk, chocolate chip cookies and the largest chocolate cake Jeff Probst or myself has ever seen...

Day 20

This day begins with Sarge feeling awful staring at a partially eaten chocolate cake...He says he wished the night before would have never happened because his body was not ready for that much sugar...

During a private interview Twila comments that Scout went on and on about how happy she was still on the tribe...Twila says she wished Scout would have toned it down a bit because she needs the guys to believe she is with them wholeheartedly...Twila is afraid the guys may read something into the speech Scout gave at the beach...(I took these comments to be some sort of foreshadowing)...

Chris and Chad are talking...They say that Julie is definitely with the guys because she proved herself at the last tribal council and Twila is too stubborn to be with the women...Chris and Chad say that they are together til the end because taking Sarge to the end would result in Sarge winning...At one point Chris tells Chad "I think you and Sarge both have a leg up on me"...He realizes what he says and tells Chad "Man, I did not mean to say that"...Chad told him that there are a million puns out there in reference to this prosthetic leg...They both break into laughter at the comment...

While in a private interview Chris says he made the same "final two" agreement he made with Chad also to Sarge and Julie...He says if a merge occurs and one of his alliances are voted off he still has two members to watch his back...

The teams meet on the beach for the immunity challenge...Jeff immediately announces "Drop your buffs". The teams seem to welcome the merge by all cheering and hugging...While Rory hugs Chris he tells him "I am happy to be out of there"...Jeff tells them they have to decide which beach to live on and Twila chimes in about how nice the Lopevi tribe is so everyone decides to live there...

The reward challenge begins:

The members are playing for individual immunity in a water race...There are two separate heats, each consisting of five members...They start on the beach, swim to a tower, climb a ladder, cross a balance beam, grab one of three flags, jump off platform, swim back to shore and place flag in flag holder...The first two people out of each heat that get all 3 flags into the flag holder will move on to finals...

In the first heat: Sarge and Eliza move on to finals
In the second heat: Rory and Ami move on to finals

The four members repeat the very same race and Sarge wins individual immunity with Rory not far behind... Part II [11 minutes]  

[This portion written by: NawlinsGal43]  On the 2nd heat of the immunity challenge lined up to go are Twila, Ami, Rory, Chad and Scout. Rory first to the tower with Ami not far behind and Twila and Chad not far behind her, first in with flag #1 is Rory then Ami, Chad, Twila and Scout, as Scout is placing her first flag Rory is already heading back with his second flag followed by Ami. Chad almost falls from his tower, barely hanging on he is able to pull himself back up to stay in the game, Rory and Ami are going strong and Jeff says they are started to get winded, still waiting on the others to place their second flags, Chad places his second flag and Rory and Ami coming in neck and neck with each of their third flags. Rory and Ami win the heat and will join Sarge and Eliza in the final competion for immunity. Sarge, Ami, Rory and Eliza line up and they all take off with Sarge taking a fast lead with Ami trying to catch up, Sarge comes in with his first flag then Rory, Ami and Eliza, as the last three are swimming back to the tower Sarge is coming in with flag #2, next comes Ami with her second flag, Jeff says it appears Eliza is out of it, Rory starts in with his second flag as Sarge races in with his 3rd flag to win immunity.

Jeff announces that Sarge is the first winner of the individual immunity, then joking around tells him " lets see if we can get this immunity necklace over that big noggin of yours" Jeff then tells the teams to head back to their camp which will be the former Lopevi beach, he tells them to take the afternoon to figure out a new name for their tribe, design a flag and figure out who will be voted out at the first post merge tribal council.

When they get to the camp their is a big celebration waiting for them. They have Grapes, Cheese and Crackers, Wine, leftover Chocolate cake and various other items.

Chris says this is a new time and it is time to have some fun for the first time in the game. Scout is thrilled that Twila is back with her, she goes on and on about how much she missed her and says its a reunion and a happy one. Sarge says "this is off the chain" then you see him bowing down to the coffee gods in front of the coffee maker. Rory has plenty to say but wants to make sure that all the guys know that Ami is the one that caused Bubba to go home, he tells of how Ami caught him trying to talk to the men's team and get a message to them. Tells that Ami is the leader of the pack and that she is trouble, he goes on to say he is ecstatic to be back with some men and how he was told by Ami that he was going to be the next to go because the women where going to stick together he says " Ami had me squirming and now I feel like the cat that swallowed the canary because my fortunes have just changed." he assures Sarge that he is 100% with the guys. Sarge tells Rory " I'm not going to lie to you, I didn't think you were a team player, are you sure you are going to be 100%" Rory assures Sarge and Chad. Chad says are family is 5 strong, he is including Twila and Julie and now we have Rory for 6.

Day 21 Everyone is making the team flag and painting each other. Scout says the new team name is ALINTA which is people of fire and fire is the main thing on the island. Eliza keeps telling how much she missed Julie saying they had gotten so close in the first 12 days and she missed her the past 9 days so much.

Sarge says the girls are all some painting fools, laughingly. He sees Julie with Ami and starts getting a little nervous, the guys really want Ami out of the game because she has to much control over the girls. Sarge then says " it's like kids on the playground, boys vs. girls and at the end of the day anything can happen.   Part III [7 minutes]  

[This portion written by: Cappy] Tribal Council- We are on night 21 with the newly merged tribe. It consists of Ami, Eliza, Chad, Chris, Julie, Leann, Rory, Sarge, Scout and Twila.

Then the topic went to workload and leadership. Leann Chad to choose between keeping the tribes separate and merge. Rory claims he was given a second chance. Ami was asked if she thought she would make the merge and what she brings.

Later the topic came to based the voting on. Sarge won immunity and doesn't give it up. Jeff calls Chris to vote.

After everybody votes, Jeff goes to tally the votes. "Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person being voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. Ill read the votes." The votes are in this order: Ami, Ami, Ami, Ami, Rory, Rory, Rory, Rory, Rory, Rory. The 9th person voted out of Survivor: Vanuatu is Rory in a 6-4 decision. Rory brings Jeff his torch and it gets snuffed. Leaving the tribal council, Rory will never forget his experience on the Islands of Fire. I'm actually glad Rory is gone because he was just to irritating. I'm sure all of us thought that Julie was the one to go and Ami would win immunity. Oh no my friends we were way wrong. Sarge won immunity which surprised me and Julie didn't even get a vote.  Part IV [13 minutes]

[This portion written by: Beck] After a recap of last weeks episode we focus on Lopevi, Day 16:

Chad says camp is running well except for John who is not doing his share of the work...John says at camp there is not much to do and he is bored and tired and we see clips of him napping and resting...Chad and Chris discuss the fact that John seems to "grub" food at dinner times and sometimes eats three bowls of food at one sitting...Chris expresses concern that John seems to coast through the game and vows that he will NOT coast through on their team....

Yasur, Day 16:

Rory says he prays every morning and is so thankful that he was able to "crack the ladies" and not get voted out at the last Tribal Council. He has a new objective, "weasel in with Ami and Leanne".

The next shot is of Rory having a discussion with Ami and Leanne and Rory tells Ami he will back her all the way, even to the jury. He tells them that he deserves to stay more than Eliza because he can bring more to the table. Ami expresses concern about what Rory would do if the teams merge, she questioned if he would remain loyal to the women. The discussion gets to a point that Ami tells Rory not to cuss at her. Leanne tells Rory that the teams were already aligned before he joined the tribe. Rory repeated that he would stay true to Yasur and does not give a (bleep) about Sarge or Chad...

Rory is now being interviewed alone and says that he discussed with his wife before going on the show that if he got double crossed he would go into a "self destruct mode" and "slash, burn and salt the earth"...He "guarantees that Yasur would burn" if he is voted out...(On a personal note, I think Rory was beginning to lose it and I would be afraid to be on the island with him.)

Yasur and Lopevi meet on the beach for the reward challenge. Lopevi is surprised that Yasur voted Lisa out of the tribe last week...Twila comments that she was surprised they did not vote Rory out at the last tribal council and keep all the women together.

The challenge consists of breaking open a coconut, pouring the juice into a bowl (I use the term bowl very loosely, it is actually a coconut shell) and running an obstacle course before pouring the juice into a jar located at the end of the obstacle course. The team that fills the jar first and brings the jar back to the finish line wins...

The teams are playing for a "Home Cafe" which consists of all types of coffee, croissants, juice and a "taste of home"...The winning team will be able to take a coffee maker and mugs back to camp.

Lopevi chooses to sit out Sarge for this challenge.

John and Eliza face off first and then each member takes a turn taking their bowl of coconut juice through the obstacle course and returning. When Scouts turn comes around she purposely spills her bowl of juice immediately after breaking open the coconut so that Eliza and take her place in this challenge since Eliza did very well navigating the course during her turn.

Leanne and Julie face off in the last round and it is a race to get to the jar with the bowl of juice...Leanne does very well. Julie is going a bit slower and falls behind. Leanne eventually makes it to the end and fills the jar past the predetermined full mark. She then has to take the jar back to the starting line. Just as she gets within arms distance of the starting point she trips and NEARLY spills the juice but hangs on to it for the victory... Part I [13 minutes]

[This portion written by: XandraSkye] When we come back from commercial break we see the winning tribe of the Home Café Reward Challenge, Yasur, walking up to a hut on the beach with the sign “Home Café”. Coffee and croissants are laid out. We hear Eliza narrating, “We won the reward challenge and we got the opportunity to go to the Home Café. We’re walking up and I see a big bulletin board with lots of pictures.”

Everyone is very excited about getting to see pictures from home and having the chance to share their lives and loved ones with their tribe members. Eliza says, “It was a really nice moment for all of us because getting to share everyone’s family members with them and getting to see all of their pictures. It just…oh, it just touched my heart.”

Then the coffee is put on to brew and everyone digs into the croissants. We hear someone say, “How cool is this?”

Eliza notices five envelopes laid out on a table with everyone’s name on them. Leann says, “We really needed to win this…coffee & croissants and we got letters from home.” Everyone is visibly excited and happy. We even see Ami and Rory share a tender moment. Everyone makes a toast, with their juice, to “home and family.”

Scout received a letter and pictures from her partner, Annie, who she says is “such an amazing and beautiful human being.”

Ami got a letter from both her mom and her dad back home. Her dad said, “Your little buddy is watching you from above.” Ami says her dad was referring to her little brother who was killed in a car accident almost 7 years ago.

Everyone is crying while reading their letters from home, even Rory. Rory receives a letter from his wife who gives him this message, “Keep in mind that although you may not change a situation you still have control over how you will respond.” Rory thinks his wife has impeccable timing considering that earlier he was talking about burning up the Yasur tribe if they should vote him out.

But don’t think that the love that is being spread around the Yasur tribe at the Home Café has taken Rory’s mind off of the game. In an interview he tells us, “Even though the pictures and letters really put a human face on everybody and their families for me it still is about playing the game. Anybody that knows me knows that I always, always carry an extra ace up my sleeve. And believe me that even though this is a lovely moment and were bonding and everything else I haven’t forgotten where they put me…but it’s a beautiful day in Vanuatu”, as he takes sip of coffee.

Lopevi beach on Day 17. We see Twila and Julie walking to the beach. Twila tells us that they needed to talk because they are the only two females and are the odd men out. Julie asks Twila what she thinks about the final four and asks her, “Have they been promising you that?” and Twila wants to know if one of the guys have approached Julie about being in the final four. Both Twila and Julie give a nervous laugh as a way to admit that they guys have promised each of them a spot in the final four with Sarge, Chris and Chad. But, in an interview with Julie we find out that she used reverse psychology on Twila and that the guys have NOT approached her about final four. Julie mentions that her and Twila have had a rocky relationship but since Twila was being sucked in with the guys she had to come up with a plan. She says, “My plan worked…for right now.” So, it looks like Twila and Julie have formed an alliance, which they find amusing since they are an unlikely pair.

[This portion written by: NawlinsGal43] Day 18
We start with the tribes walking to get their tree mail. Yasur open the mail and finds a sack of marbles and a slingshot, enclosed a note " If you shoot poorly, you could get the boot." Julie feels a little intimidated by the shooting task and states " I could be going home."

At Lopevi Sarge is saying "Oh yeah this is ours, Lopevi is going to win this, we got it in the bag." John K. states that he really needs this win so the team doesn't go to tribal council because he knows he will be voted out.

Back at Yasur Rory is all pumped up and teaching the ladies how to aim and shoot at a target. Rory in a voice you would hear announcing a wrestling match roars "Lets get ready to rumble, we have the ladies of Yasur plus one." this is the happiest I've ever seen Rory.

Both teams walk out on to the beach. Jeff welcomes them and tells Chris it's time to give up the immunity and it is now back up for grabs. Jeff tells everyone he hopes they have been practicing with the slingshot and marbles they received earlier.

The immunity challenge will be shooting at tiles and breaking it free from the wires holding it in place, must be free from all wires holding it up. Each tile represents a wooden tile on the ground, each player has a lane and will move up as their tiles are broken till they move off the wooden area to the mat. Once you are off the wooden tiled area and on the mat you no longer will take shots for your team. First team to knock out 20 tiles wins immunity. The teams are uneven sot Lopevi you need one member to sit out, who will it be, Chris speaks up and says he will sit out.

The game begins, first up is Rory and Chad who both connect, first person to move on the wooden grid is Leann, next up is Ami and Julie, then Scout and Sarge who both connect and Leann moves up another spot on the wooden tiles. Lopevi and Yasur are now tied at this point, next up is Leann and Twila and the score becomes Yasur 3-2, next up is Eliza and John, John connects and ties it back up, a few more take turns and the score is now Yasur 7 and Lopevi 5, Rory and Chad are up, Chad's shot takes John out the game and Julie is up next, Rory is the only shooter left on his team, Julie misses as Rory connects, Jeff states "Rory is just on fire, there is no stopping him." Score is now Yasur 17 Lopevi 15, Rory and John are up, Rory connects as John misses, now Rory and Chad are up Rory connects and Chad misses, Rory takes his next shot which would give Yasur 20 to win, Rory misses, next up Rory and John, Rory connects and has enough for Yasur to win the immunity. Rory is all excited yelling " Woo Hoo Woo" Jeff tells Rory that he just dominated in the game and announces Yasur wins immunity, then Jeff states " well Yasur this will be the first time in awhile that you don't have to go to tribal council and on day 18 Lopevi who we haven't seen in tribal council for awhile will have the afternoon to decide who you want to vote out, go ahead and head back to your beaches."

Rory is very excited because he figured he would be voted out if they lost tonight, Rory saying that he rocked Ami's world today, I just rocked her world, also states that she is #1 on his hit list!!!!!!  Part III [7 minutes]
[This portion written by: Cappy] Tribal Council- Lopevi walks in the tribal council area for the first time in two tribal councils.

The first topic of discussion is the sudden losses. After winning four challenges, Lopevi lost both reward and immunity. Everybody is shocked at the sudden losses. Next talked about how they planned to vote back at camp. Then they talked about the roles around camp and asks Sarge how Twila does well. Next Jeff asks John K. how Twila could do better. Now the topic is who trusts Julie and can she be trusted. Jeff asks Chad how life at camp is. Sarge is called to vote. Once everybody votes, Jeff goes to tally the votes. "Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person being voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. The votes are read in this order: John K., Chad (Gasp! Chad got his first vote!), John K., John K., John K. 4 votes is enough and the last vote remains a mystery. It was for John K. too. John K. brings Jeff his torch. "John, your tribe has spoken." Jeff snuffs his torch and John K. leaves. John K. is the eighth person eliminated from Survivor: Vanuatu in a 5-1 vote. Those that voted for John K. were Sarge, Chad, Chris, Julie and Twila. John K. was the only one to vote for Chad.   Part IV [13 minutes]

[This portion written by: cman] We arrive at the Yasur camp, and it is the night after Tribal Council. Rory is very concerned about his fate in the tribe, with his only male comrade Bubba being recently axed. He starts talking to Scout, saying how he has no chance to be here, but it seems he has a plan. "The ladies made the mistake of telling me that I was the original one that was gonna go". He keeps talking to Scout, obviously very peeved, and hoping to find a vote not for him. Scout later says "Rory would like to tell everyone off right now, but that would seal his fate."

It's morning at the Lopevi tribe, with all the men accounting how women will play into the game. Sarge is admitting to dirtier dreams now that the women are here, and Chris is sure the women will fly under the radar. They seem to be very much a part of the tribe, already talking strategy with the guys. Julie and Twila seem to be making a name for themselves, with Julie flirting and Twila bonding with Sarge. The women then go off into the jungle and discuss strategy, knowing that, according to Twila, "we're both vulnerable, we know it"

The daily tree mail has been delivered, and Yasur finds it peculiar, seeing a wooden pig in a wooden cage, and they ponder the challenge shortly, before Rory wants to deliver his speech. Rory, knowing a very large possibility of eviction tonight, preaches to the ladies that he wants to be straight with them, work as a team, hope for them to see him as a team member more than as a guy. He later states he can't believe that THEY believed his "cheesy crap", and the two teams head to challenge beach.

Jeff: "On the islands of Vanuatu pigs are highly valued. They are currency and they are a status symbol and right now they have a value to you. Today's challenge is for reward, and you're going to get good and muddy as a result.  We have assembled a pen, filled it with pigs. Your goal, catch the pig five tribe members will be pig catchers. They are responsible for catching two pigs each. You can grab two at once or one at a time. One person will be a gatekeeper. Their job is to make sure the pigs you catch remain caught. First tribe to collect ten of their tribe colored pigs wins reward. Want to know what you're playing for? Steak and eggs.  Six big steaks, six eggs, skillet to fry them in and lots of ingredients to make them taste nice and good."

Both tribes are very excited about the reward, but Lopevi is absolutely drooling.  Lopevi  selects Julie as gatekeeper, Yasur selects Scout. Rory and John first out and they both bring in one pig.  Lisa and Chris are out next.   Chris grabs one for Lopevi.  Lopevi has a 3-2 lead and  Chris tries for a second and succeeds.  Lisa gets her pig and it's the largest in the pen.    Eliza tries but can't catch one. 

Lopevi with an 8-4 lead. Sarge needs to get two pigs.   [This portion written by: MrsPopcornsupriz] Leanne gets a pig. Twila’s in. Rory’s in, Rory loses his 2nd pig. Twila gets her pigs. Sarge is in. Rory gets his pig. Sarge gets his pigs. 9-5 Lopevi wins the steak and eggs.  Part I [12 minutes]

Lopevi: Twila is happy saying we kicked some ass. There cooking their steaks. Sarge is on cloud 9; he is so pumped about getting some meat. The tribe is enjoying the food. Tribe was talking about how they can’t believe that Eliza said she can’t do it.

Yasur: Leann said it seemed like Eliza didn’t want to get dirty. Rory says if we lose, he goes home, he says the tribe will sink with Eliza killing the team. Eliza is very sorry. Lisa tells her not to worry about it but behind her back says Eliza is the reason they lost. Ami tells Eliza she can cry. Eliza said she is not use to being bad at stuff. She talks about how she like Scout as a person but she doesn’t want her here, she has a bad knee. Ami tells Eliza she is capable to win. Eliza wants to believe they can win but thinks they will lose.

Rory seems glad that everyone sees the damage Eliza did. They need to keep a strong player. Hope’s there’s a crack, a chance for him to stay, and he thinks he found it.  Part II [6 minutes]

[This portion written by: XandraSkye] It’s day 15 and we go to the Lopevi beach. Julie comes out of the water and mentions that she would like to tan her ass. Chad says, “The co-ed thing is working for us” and mentions that it has boosted morale in the tribe. Lea (aka Sarge) comments on Julie’s sunbathing and how good she looks and gives us this comment, “If you got, sunbathe it.” Julie tells us that she likes to flirt.

We see evidence of a friendship blooming between Twila and Sarge. Sarge says that he sees Twila as a “friend for the next 20 years” and that he would also put her in dress a take her out because “she’s a lady too.” Sarge and Twila discuss her and Julie’s loyalty to Lopevi versus their old tribe, Yasur. Twila says that she will stay with Lopevi and she’s pretty sure Julie would too. Sarge said Julie would be a fool not to. In one of Sarge’s interviews he tells us that he’s with Chad and Chris but 3 is a strange number and 4 strong is better. He tells Twila basically the same thing and that he doesn’t trust John. Twila agrees that John can’t be trusted. Sarge then gives Twila his word as a man that she will be part of the final four. In an interview with Twila see says she’s not sure if she should trust him but she has to trust someone at some point.

Next we see both tribes going to the immunity challenge. When they get to the beach Jeff mentions that Travis was voted out at the last tribal council. Jeff then says, “This challenge is going to wear you out.” Here is how the immunity challenge goes: 4 tribe members will start on a floating platform where they will find 8 wooden Tiki pieces. Each tribe member must transport two Tiki pieces to the beach by moving them along a rope through a water obstacle course.

The 1st stage they must maneuver the pieces around an outrigger canoe. For the 2nd stage they must get the pieces and themselves up and over a wall. For the 3rd stage they will go under water and maneuver the pieces through 3 hitching posts. For the final stage they must maneuver the pieces through a truss.

Once they have the pieces up on the beach and on their Tiki piece holding thing (I don’t know what Jeff called it) then the next person can go.

Once all eight pieces are in the Tiki piece holding thing then the final two tribe members can assemble the Tiki.

First tribe to assemble their Tiki correctly wins immunity and guarantees one more day out there. Losing tribe has to go to tribal council and vote a member of their tribe off the island.

Yasur picks Scout and Lisa as the two people to put the Tiki together, Lopevi picks Twila and Chad. The 4 swimmers from both tribes head out to their platforms.

Jeff says, “For immunity…Survivors, ready, go!”

First two to go are Chris for Lopevi and Ami for Yasur. Chris takes the lead and gets his two pieces to the beach first. Next to go are Sarge for Lopevi and Rory for Yasur. Rory makes good time and closes the gap between the two tribes. Jeff says, “We are dead even at two.” Next to go are Julie for Lopevi and Leann for Yasur. Leann gets held up at the hitching posts. She runs out of steam and Lopevi takes a big lead. The last person from Lopevi, John, gets his two Tiki pieces up on the beach before Leann can even get past the hitching posts and Eliza ever gets a shot to compete. Chad and Twila put the Tiki together and Lopevi wins Immunity.

Jeff says, “Obviously a very tough challenge” and that Yasur gave a great effort but the 7th person will be voted out tonight at tribal council and that Yasur has the afternoon to decide who it will be and that they can all head back to camp.  Part III [12 minutes]

[This portion written by: Cappy] Tribal Council- The Yasur tribe walks into the tribal council with a very gloom attitude. The first topic is how Leann is feeling knowing that she is responsible for losing immunity. Scout is asked whether she will vote based on loyalty or strength. Eliza and Lisa are both questioned whether they should be trusted tonight. Ami is asked how she will vote and she says she will vote based on loyalty. Eliza is called up to vote. Everybody votes and Jeff goes to tally the votes. "Once the votes are read the decision is final. The person being voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes." The votes are read in this order: Lisa, Rory, Rory, Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. Lisa brings Jeff her torch. "Lisa, your tribe has spoken." Jeff snuffs her torch. Lisa leaves and Jeff says that last tribal council the women stuck together to vote out Bubba. Now alliances seem to be crossed. Those that voted for Rory were Lisa and Scout. Those that voted for Lisa were Ami, Eliza, Leann and Rory. Lisa becomes the 7th person eliminated from Survivor: Vanuatu in a 4-2 decision.  Part IV [11 minutes]

[This portion written by: cman] The show starts off at the Lopevi tribe, the day after the tribal council. No one is shocked or arguing about the last nights boot like at Yasur, but are up early arguing about the seats around the camp fire. Sarge and Chad are complaining that Bubba has the best spot around the campfire. Bubba, obviously not caring, says they should just "Build a bridge and get over it!" Bubba later says in the interview "I get tired of living with these men!!". They bicker for a few more minutes. 

Meanwhile,  Rory is shown  picking up shells along the beach, when he suddenly sees natives coming at him in a boat. The natives arrive, and say to the men to gather around them. He starts speaking in another language, which is said to be Bislama, or another Vanuatu "mother tongue". The only words the men can decode are "one chief, one chief." They quickly decide Sarge is their chief, and the natives hand him a ruling stick, ruling necklace, and then leave. Rory is left muttering "What the hell is going on today??"

The natives arrive at Yasur, and as soon as they heard the words "one chief", they immediately picked Scout. The natives give her the stick and necklace and leave again. Leann said about the experience "We'll just have to wait and see."

As soon as she says this, the Island of Fire starts to shake in response to an earthquake cause by a volcano, and the volcano eruption, although looking deadly to be close to, hurts no one, and Sarge is heard muttering "That was my first earthquake" before both tribes, a little excited by the eruption, leave to tribal beach Part I  [5 minutes].
[This portion written by: NawlinsGal43]  Lopevi and Yasur are walking from their camps to the beach, as everyone arrives on the beach Jeff asks the two teams if they felt the earthquake. Bubba (Travis) tells Jeff "I have never felt an earthquake before and you could hear it before you felt it, It was very exciting."

Lisa also joins in and states " It felt like the ground was getting ready to split."

Jeff asks the tribes if they are wondering why they had tribal visitors and why they were asked to pick one chief for each tribe, before anyone can answer Jeff states "Drop your buffs." We are now going to pick new teams and to be fair Sarge and Scout will be play rock, paper, scissors to see who will either Choose or Divide, Sarge wins and chooses to divide which leaves Scout to choose.

Jeff explains that Scout will pick one guy for each team then one female for each team until they get to the end and since we have an uneven number that will leave one player at the and I';; tell you what we are going to do about that later.

Scouts Picks 1st man Rory 2nd man Chad now Jeff tells Scout to pick the women 1st woman Eliza 2nd woman Julie by time she finishes the teams are (1) Rory, Eliza, Bubba (Travis), Leann, Ami (2) Chad, Julie, Chris, Twila, JohnK now Sarge gets to divide which means he may choose which team he will join and that will leave Scout with the other team. Sarge (Lea) chooses team (2) which will be Lopevi and Scout gets team (1) which will be Yasur.

Now Lisa is the only one without a team, Jeff tells her she gets to choose which team she wants to join, looking back and forth between the two teams Lisa decides she wants to join Scout and Yasur, which will give them an extra member over Lopevi.

Now that we have new teams it is time to play for Reward. Each team will have to stand on the platforms in the water as one person at a time swims out to a pole that has markers tied onto it at different depths in the water, you need to untie the marker and swim back to the platform before the next person may go.

The reward that will be played for is going to be Unlimited Pringles and Beer. Jeff lets each team split 1(one) Pringle between all the members of their tribe, quite the tease I say. Since there is an extra player on Yasur Bubba (Travis) is going to sit out.

The first one out and back with a marker is Scout and not to far behind her is Chad. Leann next with an 8ft marker, then Julie has one, next Rory then Sarge we have Lopevi and Yasur tied with 3 each, Chris goes for the 12ft marker as Eliza comes up for Yasur pulling them into the lead 4 to 3 as Jeff announces 5 minutes left Chris drops his marker into the water below, John goes out and gets one for Lopevi and ties it back up 4 to 4, Ami goes next as John also heads back out both come back in and tie it at 5 apiece, Julie brings one in and puts Lopevi back up 6 to 5 then Rory comes in to tie it back up to 6 apiece as Jeff announces 3 minutes left Chris comes in with number 7 for Lopevi with Ami right behind him to tie it back up at 7 each, both Rory and John are trying to get their markers Rory makes it 8-7 John ties it at 8 Jeff announces next marker will take the lead Chris comes in with number 9 for Lopevi as Ami runs out of time. Jeff announces Lopevi you win reward!!!!!

Jeff tells Yasur to head back to camp with their new tribe and to some members a new home then he tells Lopevi to head to the waterfall for Beer and Pringles so they can have some fun and get to know each other.  Part II  [13 minutes]

[This portion written by: NawlinsGal43]  Day 11
Sarge (Lea) is having a good time and states "after eating what we have been eating and plantains these Pringles taste like gold."

Everyone is laughing, talking and having a really good time, even Twila is smiling and having fun Twila states " I can relate with these people, I fit in here so much better, I mean come on this guy is a hwy worker we just click."

Everyone is by the waterfall and Julie states " I am buzzed, not from the beer buzzed but buzzed in a good way from the change and evolution, me and Twila are going to have to weasel ourselves in with these guys or they will start picking us off."

John K states " Now that the groups have been broken up my odds in the game have gone up and have gotten better, I am so psyched looking at the other team we really have an advantage."

Day 12
Rory and Bubba are saying they are going to enjoy living with the ladies, although they are making us feel welcome and this is the best cooking we have had since we have been here we are definitely out the loop. Bubba (Travis) states " I guess you could say I'm so nervous I'm sweating like a prostitute in church."

Ami is happy that the guys seem to be doing things to please them and working hard.

The girls go to get coconuts and Lisa says she wants to show the guys how to do the coconuts, Ami asks her why?? Lisa says because it's cool and I just want to show them. Ami doesn't want to show them anything but tells Lisa go ahead and show them if you want but we don't want to share all our secrets.

Ami states " As far as I'm concerned I am still with the women and we are 5 women strong, but some of the women are going to have to prove themselves."

The men are definitely feeling like the odd guys out as they head for the immunity challenge.

Immunity challenge will be building an outrigger and paddle out to your team flag then back to the beach and all members of your team have to be on the mat with your team flag at the same time. Scout will sit out since they have an extra member.

The pieces are out in the jungle and each piece is further and deeper into the jungle.

Two players will run out and get the Frame and bring it to the mat, then the next Two players will run out and get the paddles and bring them out to the mat the last team of Two will run the furthest into the jungle and bring out the outrigger, when all pieces are on the mat the team will then assemble the canoe and when it is finished two will paddle out to get the flag.

The teams run in Lopevi has the frame and Yasur is right behind them as they get to the mat Chad and Julie and Leann and Eliza all head out for the paddles they get back to the mat and the next groups head out for the final part the outrigger Lopevi gets back in and starts the assembly as Yasur is falling behind, Jeff is telling Rory he needs to try to make up some time that they are still in it Rory is having a hard time with the knots, Lopevi has a big lead and Yasur is losing lots of time, Rory starts dragging it in and is trying to make up some ground some how. Lopevi has the canoe together and John and Chad start paddling out after a nice push off from their team. Yasur gets it together and in their panic to get going quickly end up with a terrible push off.

Lopevi starts going off course all over the place but manage to get to the flag first. Lisa and Bubba are paddling like crazy and finally get their flag.

Lopevi is still having problems and going the wrong way, now it's a race to the finish. Chad ends up using the bottom with is paddles to turn the canoe, they rush into the shore and the entire team rushes to the mat.   Jeff announces Lopevi wins immunity

Lopevi is so excited and Rory is saying how the knots cost him so much time and that was some of the worst paddling he has ever seen. Part III  [14 minutes]

[This portion written by: Cappy] Tribal Council: The new Yasur consisting of Ami, Eliza, Leann, Lisa, Rory and Bubba walk into the tribal council. If you look closely, Rory and Bubba have red torches instead of yellow. I wonder when they had time to grab their torch.

The opening topic is obviously the switch. Lisa states that its as if Rory and Bubba were there the whole time. Then the conversation turns to Bubba talking to the other tribe. Ami is very very upset about this. Now the conversation is why Rory over Bubba and vice-versa. Leann is the first to go.

After everybody votes, Jeff goes to tally the votes. I have no idea why he does this. Is it to make sure they don't cheat or what? Now Jeff reads the votes. You know the deal of the person being voted out has to leave the tribal council immediately. The votes are read in this order: Bubba, Rory, Bubba, Bubba, Bubba. The last two votes remain a mystery. Only Bubba voted for Rory. Ami, Leann, Lisa, Rory, and Scout voted for Bubba. Bubba becomes the 6th eliminated from Survivor: Vanuatu in a 6-1 vote.  Part IV  [14 minutes]

[This portion written by: cman]  As the show starts, Yasur is coming back from from another shocking tribal council, where Lisa betrayed her young girls alliance by voting with the old girls and taking out Mia. Eliza is the most shocked of them all, and starts yelling at Lisa for doing that and not including her (same as last week, with Mia). Lisa tries to defend herself, saying that she needed to save herself. "I didn't trust you." Lisa shouts out again and again. Twila, breaking up the argument, states that the tribe cant break down like this, and the women have to be strong in order to beat the men. Eliza says in an interview "I am furious" and "If she was voted out tomorrow, I would be happy!!". They both bicker for a few more seconds, and everyone hits the sack

Daybreak comes to the Lopevi tribe, and the day starts with recounting Tribal Council. We see Chad walking on the rocks, the Rory and Chris walking. Rory said he was a little surprised he took in three of the votes, but states to Chris he's not worried "Cause I've got the numbers." As he's talking about this, Brady and John K. walk and talk about the same thing in the jungle. Brady and John are both equally upset because they believe the best and youngest players are being voted off, and not only do they not have a chance in heck, but that they won't win any challenges. As they walk and talk some more, Brady decided to shake a tree for some coconuts, and in turn got hit in the noggin. The shot goes to the whole tribe later, and Brady decides to fish with the new equipment. Brady only gets some little fish, and is sort of mocked by the whole tribe.

After a commercial, both sides get some tree mail. It's revealed its a puzzle, and the message is much like a child's reveal book, with little opening flaps. Both teams are sure of a win because "We have better memories" (Oh please these are the people who spelled "Rorie" and "Mea"). Yasur sees a rainbow, seeing a sure fire sign of a win that day, and the tribes take the long walk to competition beach  Part I  [14 minutes].
[This portion written by: Cappy]  Reward Challenge: The tribes get tree mail. Both Lopevi and Yasur coming in tied 7 to 7. Jeff asks each tribe how their living conditions are. Scout says that they could use a better way to sleep. Lopevi is doing OK on fishing. The challenge is a memory test. Items are placed in what look like mini-teepees. The reward is the help of Da a native tribesmen. He knows how to catch and cook food. He is also good at building shelters.

The challenge begins with Chad going first for Lopevi. He doesn't get a match. Lisa gets nothing. Rory gets nothing. Scout gets nothing. Bubba is next and gets nothing. Ami gets the first pair. Its tribal drums. Brady is next and gets nothing. Eliza gets another pair for Yasur with grapefruit. Chris gets nothing.

Julie gets another pair for Yasur with shrimp traps. John K. is next and gets nothing. Leann earns yet another pair for Yasur as she drags in pig jaws. Sarge gets Lopevi on board with the wooden pig. Twila gets nothing. Chad gets another pair for Lopevi. He gets coconuts. Lisa is the last to go as she gets a nautilus shell. Yasur wins reward.

Da arrives in a canoe on the Yasur beach. He immediately starts working by getting coconuts. They travel into the jungle and Da pulls out a root and shows Yasur what types of leaves they can eat. The ladies go crazy for the sugar cane.

Over at Lopevi, morale is very low. Bubba is very homesick. He's worried the most about how is family is doing. Dah chopped bamboo in half and flatened it. It made all the bumps of the Yasur shelter go away. As a goodbye gift, Dah gives the tribe a very large crab. The ladies are very sad to see Dah go. Part II  [10 minutes].

[This portion written by: mrspopcornsupriz]  Yasur Tribe: Da is busy showing the girls the ways of the land. He showed them how to make there nights more comfortable by taking bamboo, slicing in half, and making it nice and flat. He wanted to show them how to catch crabs that night but there weren’t any there with high tides that night. Anything the girls asked about, he helped them with.

Day 9 Yasur Tribe: Da found some crab this morning. The girls felt very attached to Da as he left. It was a tearful good-bye as Lisa started singing and the girls joined in as Da paddled away in his canoe. You could see the girls were getting along better. Leann says it was a real moral booster and she is ready for the next challenge.

Day 10 Lopevi Tribe: Rory decided to try to fish with the Hawaiian sling. He had no idea how to use it. Rory says he has no aim or direction but he is going to try anyways. Brady told Rory to be careful and try not to break the point on the sling. Lea and Brady talked about Rory while he was trying to fish. Lea said Rory is looking for sea shells for his kids. Brady just wanted to try to shake things up. He’d like to strengthen the tribe.

Yasur: Tree Mail:  They knew it was a challenge where they’d have to put there minds together. Eliza in feeling very vulnerable.

Challenge: Puzzle, 16 tiles, 4 different colors, 4 different Vanuatu symbols. The contestants must place the tiles so no two same colors are in the same row and no two same symbols are in the same row. Eliza is the eyes for Yasur, Rory for Lopevi. Challenge begins. Both teams flips tiles over. (Please note: very hard to do play by play as all team members crowded into same space) Rory is shouting at the guys, there not working together. Lots of shouting, bickering. Eliza figures out the puzzles, tells the girls to set the tiles up so there is a diagonal of colors and a diagonal of the symbols. Girls are working well as a team. Chris and John are shouting, total ciaos. Girls think they have it. Jeff pauses game, looks at it. Yasur wins second challenge in a row. No tribal council tonight. Someone is going home on the Lopevi tribe tonight. Part III [8 minutes].

[This portion written by: Cappy] 
Tribal Council Lopevi enters the tribal council. They talked about the challenge and how nobody listened to Rory. The topic came to playing as individuals even though it wasn't merge. Once all the tribesmen voted, Jeff goes to tally the votes. "Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person being voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

The votes are in this order. Brady, Brady, Rory, Brady. The fifth person voted out of Survivor: Vanuatu is Brady. The last two votes will remain a mystery. Brady brings Jeff his torch. "Brady, the tribe has spoken." Jeff snuffs Bradys torch. They appear to be voting out the stronger guys because they are a threat in challenges. The only problem was that it was still early in the game. Those that voted for Brady were Sarge, Rory, Chad, Chris, Bubba and John K. Only Brady voted for Rory. It seems that John K. swapped alliances and voted out Brady. Brady was voted out in a 6-1 decision. I really didn't care if he left because since episode 1, he was doomed.  Part IV  [10 minutes].

 Vanuatu consists of about 70 islands, most of which are volcanic. Several have active volcanoes. The climate is wet and tropical. The population of 154,000 (1992 estimate) is largely Melanesian; most are Christian. English, French, and Bislama are the official languages; numerous Melanesian languages are spoken.

First sighted by the Portuguese in 1606, the islands were named New Hebrides by British navigator Captain James Cook in 1774. In 1887 the British and French established joint administration of the islands, and in 1906 the islands became their shared territory. During World War II (1939-1945), the United States established a large military base on one of the islands. The islands became independent as Vanuatu in 1980.
