After falling and costing her team the immunity challenge in Survivor: Borneo Episode 1, Sonja was the first person voted out of the game.
Stacey’s already talking about eating a rat. It’s day 4. There’s nothing in the fish traps, so those rats are looking better and better.
Stacey believes that Rudy voted for her, which she told Richard, the guy who actually voted for her.
BB continues to take control of Pagong, which they’re starting to appreciate to a point, but they’re still tired of him. He only notices people who work, which means he likes Gretchen, Greg, and Jenna.
The rest of the tribe knows Richard is gay. He hopes Rudy doesn’t because he can’t imagine he would take too kindly to it. Rudy has found out, although he doesn’t want to talk about it. He’s still a bigot, but he likes Richard nonetheless.
Ramona says that she’s finicky. They give her some papaya, but she knows she won’t be able to keep it down, so she doesn’t eat it. She’ll compensate by drinking more water. At some point, water’s not going to be enough. BB’s upset with her because she’s not working. He says he’s not trying to win a personality constest. That’s good.
Colleen and Greg are hanging out a lot. They say they’re just friends.
Gretchen and BB started arguing when they first got there about where the shelter should be. He got his way, and now they see that they’re close to being washed away. He agrees that maybe she was right, but he refuses to move it as high as she wants it to go.
Sean’s built himself a fishing pole, but he hasn’t caught anything with it. Sue tells him this is a stupid idea.
Pagong is ready to make some food. First thing BB does when he gets back, though, is to wash his clothes in their fresh food container. The sun’s going down, so they don’t have time to go get more water. This leads to a major blow out that’s been building up. BB believes he can do as he wants because he’s building the shelter. He hasn’t learned his lesson from this argument and will continue to do as he pleases.
BB wants to throw the immunity challenge. He’s not going to “quit” but rather is going to lose on purpose so he gets sent home. Sounds like quitting to me. Everybody else wants to win, but it’s obvious who they’ll vote out given the chance.
The immunity challenge is a gross eating challenge. The first person to refuse to eat something loses immunity for their tribe. They will be eating beetle larvae. After much freaking out from Gervase, he manages to eat it. Everybody else seems okay with those bugs. The tiebreaker round is to choose whoever from the other team they want. Pagong picks Stacey. Tagi picks Gervase. First person to finish two beetle larvae wins immunity. Stacey finishes first, and Tagi wins immunity.
That leaves Pagong with two choices: sick Ramona or bossy BB who wants to go home anyway. BB would also like to get rid of Joel, perhaps their strongest team member.

With 5 votes, BB has been voted off the island. The tribe would have been better off to have lost Ramona, but BB isolated himself from the rest of the tribe, leading him to want to quit.
