BB drove his tribe crazy for 6 days by bossing them around and telling them they didn’t do enough, leading to his demise in Survivor: Borneo Episode 2.
Over on Tagi, they’re still trying to get some fish. They’ve still got empty traps. When the girls go on a fish run, they complain about Rudy, who’s not contributing but is eating more than his share of food. Despite her complaints about Rudy, Sue plans to vote Stacey out, a point not lost on Stacey.
On their tapioca run, Greg, Gretchen, and Colleen stumble upon a mud volcano. Then they bring the rest of the tribe back to have a bonding experience.
Dirk is not afraid to share his preaching. That’s an easy way to alienate people. Sue’s had enough already.
Stacey thinks that Dirk has a little crush on Kelly, but that he doesn’t have a chance in hell, as if Kelly’s out of his league or something. All that aside, he’s heard she has a serious boyfriend, so he doesn’t plan on pursuing her. This leads to talk of how Dirk’s waiting until marriage, and how he doesn’t much care for Richard Hatch since he’s gay. He doesn’t like how Richard talks about his sexuality all the time, as if preaching to people all the time is any more socially acceptable.
When they get treemail, Hatch is thrilled to find out it’s an underwater challenge.
The reward challenge places a big emphasis on the tribe. They must swim under, grab a chest, and bring it back to the beach. Reward is fishing gear. They can’t dive under to get their chest until all members get out to the raft. Tagi gets off to an early lead. Pagong waits for Gervase to finally arrive, which he knew would happen because he’ll drag on any swimming challenge. Hatch and Dr. Sean take control on Tagi, and it’s not even close. For their reward, Tagi receives a fishing spear, mask, and snorkel.
Richard Hatch is the king now. He gets back and will be going fishing. Sean thinks he’s not going to catch anything, so he and Dirk go out with the superpole and a raft. They won’t have to waste their time on that much longer. Hatch returns with a ray. Sean is unimpressed. He gets another ray. Sean’s still unimpressed. Then he returns with a third. Okay, maybe they’ll eat them now.
Pagong’s worried that Tagi will catch fish now that they’ve got the gear, but they’re turning their attention back to rats. Greg has made a rat trap to catch them. Tastes almost like chicken. Ramona says they don’t eat the rats in the ghetto, but she’s willing to try now. They’re surprised by how good they taste.
The tribes will build a stretcher before they go to immunity. They have to carry their smallest member, but that’s the extent of what they know. Tagi has selected Kelly, while Pagong will go with Colleen. Not only does Pagong have a really light member, but they’ve got a good looking stretcher, one that they can rotate upside down without her falling off.
The two lightest people have been placed in the jungle. There’s been a plane wreck. They have to go rescue them from a tree and take them back to the beach, then to the first aid tent. Pagong takes the lead and is the first to rescue their member. They are also first to the beach. And they arrive at the first aid tent first. From the beginning of the challenge, Tagi was never even in this, and Pagong wins immunity.
Tagi doesn’t have a lot to think about. It’s either Rudy or Stacey, and most of them have made up their minds already. Hatch wanted to chat about it before leaving for tribal council, but nobody wanted to talk.
Tribal council is a brief one, as they get caught in the middle of the worst storm they’ve seen yet.
