Survivor: Borneo Episode 5

Having been a target since day one, Ramona was voted out in Survivor: Borneo Episode 4.

Greg has an ear infection, which isn’t helping the spirits of Pagong any.

Kelly is growing tired of Sean and Dirk, who are going out fishing but not catching anything. The rest of the tribe is considering their efforts useless as well. Dirk and Sean mostly just want to have fun and enjoy their life on the island. If Dirk stops having fun, he’ll vote himself out.

The reward challenge is weapons: blowgun, slingshot, and spear tossing. They’re given a day to practice and choose who they want to represent them, as only three people will participate. Reward is food. Any fruit they hit goes into a basket that goes into the next round. Jenna and Sean compete in the blowguns. Hatch and Gretchen compete with slingshots. Then Joel and Sue compete, and we finally find out what the goal of this competition is. Regardless of what happened in the prior rounds, whichever spear comes closest wins reward. Sue hits the target on her first attempt. Joel gets one ring closer. Sue’s second shot ties them. Joel hits the bullseye. Sue comes close, but Pagong wins reward. In addition to the fruit, they get a mystery box, which contains three live chickens, to be named Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.

Richard Hatch is okay with the other team having chickens. He catches his first eel, which they’re hoping tastes like chicken. It doesn’t. The eel tastes terrible. Good to know.

Greg is slipping into a leadership position, quite by accident. He doesn’t want to be a leader. He just wants to play with Colleen from the looks of it, but they insist there is no romance.

Hatch’s fun for the day: piss off a deadly snake.

Tagi is worried about Dirk, who is losing weight quicker than the rest of the tribe.

Kelly and Sue have decided they hate Dirk and Sean less than they used to, not that it matters since the alliance controls the votes anyway. At least they’re trying now, even if their tapioca hunting efforts aren’t much more successful than their fish hunting efforts have been.

At the immunity challenge, one member from each tribe will rescue the other members from the water using outrigger canoes. Since Kelly is a whitewater rafting guide, she will row for Tagi. Since Gervase can’t swim very well, Pagong has no choice but to put him in the boat. Ultimately, they find out that it doesn’t matter because the people in the water are just waiting in life jackets and don’t have to do any what you would call swimming. Despiter her alleged training, Kelly is getting crushed. Pagong goes up 3-1. Then 6-2. As much of a crushing defeat as this was expected to be, it sure was. Just with the opposite anticipated result. Pagong wins immunity.

Jeff has noticed Dirk spending a lot of time alone. Hatch plays dumb about alliances.
