After a tribe shuffle, the new physically weak Fang tribe voted out one of its stronger members, Jacquie, in Survivor: Gabon Episode 4.
When she gets back from Exile, Sugar’s disappointed to see Kelly is still around rather than Jacquie.
Randy’s eating good and pleased with his new tribe.
This is Africa, so of course there are some wild animals. Fang spots an elephant near their camp. So obviously they decide to have a staring contest with it. Then Ace and Matty hop in a kayak and see how close they can get.
At the challenge, jaws drop when they find out Jacquie’s gone. Reward is an herb garden, salt and oil, and fruit. It’s a game of fruit baseball. The tribes have to toss fruit past a defender wielding a stick to their partners on the opposite side. Fang gets off to an early lead with Matty and Ken working together well. Dan gets the idea eventually, and they manage to pass Fang. Fang has 16 pounds of fruit. With 18 pounds, Kota wins reward. Sugar’s heading back to Exile.
Dan suggests that new Kota should stick together post-merge and keep going strong. Marcus doesn’t believe his enthusiasm for the new tribe.
Since she’s already got the idol, Sugar gets to opt for comfort when she gets to Exile.
GC decides to argue with Crystal because… he can. Ace sits back and enjoys the fireworks.
Pre-challenge, Matty says their chances are slim. As they’re getting ready to leave, they can’t find GC because he took off on his own. Crystal doesn’t care where he is and whether he got eaten by a monkey. In the nick of time, he returns, and they head off to see Jeff.
One member from each tribe will throw a ball down a hill. A blindfolded member from the other tribe will try to stop that ball from getting into a goal with the aid of a caller. The defender for Fang is Ace; the caller is Sugar. The defender for Kota is Dan; the caller is Randy. In the first round, Charlie scores 2 for Kota, while Matty scores 5 for Fang. Susie scores 2 more for Kota in the next round, while GC’s throw is blocked. Dan blocks his own ball, while Fang scores 2 more for a 7-4 lead. Crystal’s throw is blocked for Fang, as Kota scores 2 more points. Dan blocks Fang’s next ball. Randy yells “Freeze, Ace, freeze,” and Ace listens, although he’s on the other team, so he doesn’t get anywhere near the ball. Kota scores again and wins immunity.
When they get back to camp, GC says he’s ready to leave the game. Crystal’s over him, thinks he’s a loser, and wants to cut her losses and drop him. After some searching through Sugar’s bag and finding out she’s got the idol, though, they want to blindside her.
At tribal council, Sugar acknowledges she keeps her bag out where anybody can go through it if they want.
