On last night’s episode of Survivor, the tribes were picked in old-school P.E. class style. After brief introductions, Jeff says that in true African tradition, the elders must be the ones to make the important decision. So Bob and Gillian came forward as the oldest contestants and began the selection. It seemed very lopsided, with a lot of the more obviously strong, in shape people heading to the Fang tribe side. Kota (Gillian’s team) only ended up with a couple people who looked like they could handle their own.

The first challenge began the second tribes were selected. Players had to run through a series of flags and up a giant hill. At the top of the hill was individual immunity as well as food for the whole tribe. However, if people worked together, the tribe that could get everyone to the finish line first would win an extra bag of food. GC and Marcus got individual immunity, while Matty, Bob and Ace�stayed back to help their teammates up the hill. Kota blew Fang out of the water… It wasn’t even close.

After settling in at camp, which shelters already made for them, the players found their tree mail. Their first piece of mail gave them information about their next challenge, which would not only be for immunity, but some comfort at camp: fire. For this challenge, 6 tribe members would run through an obstacle court, tethered together, through a series of obstacles and retrieve puzzle pieces. The remaining 3 players had to put the puzzle together in order for their tribe to win. Through much of the obstacles, Fang and Kota were neck and neck but Kota pulled ahead at the end and went on to win their second challenge. At tribal council, Kota decided to eliminate Michelle who, despite being a strong player, did not seem to mesh well with her tribemates and was considered constantly negative.

For their second challenge, tribes had to push a large boulder through a series of gates and retrieve keys that will open locks.� The reward would be an amazing set of fishing gear and the ability to send someone from the losing tribe to Exile Island.� Kota started off with the lead but the tribes were dead even at the second lock.� In the end though, Kota regained the lead and won their third straight challenge.� They decide to send Dan to Exile Island.� There, he has the choice between a clue for the idol or a comfort item that he will make his stay on Exile not so bad.� He chooses the clue but does not come close to finding the idol.

Back at the Fang camp, the tribe becomes paranoid and is convinced that Dan has the idol.� His name is brought up as a person to be voted out, as well as Gillian.� At tribal council, Dan turns his bag upside down, dumping all of the contents onto the ground, to prove that he doesn’t have the idol.� It is Gillian who ends up getting voted out.
