With the others deciding they were fed up with the boys wasting time, Dirk was voted out in Survivor: Borneo Episode 5.
In three days, the two tribes will merge. The tribes are well aware of exactly when this will happen.
Kelly doesn’t think Pagong is taking this very seriously. Sue would like to get rid of Greg, Jenna, and Gervase.
Over on Pagong, they’re getting ready to kill a chicken. Colleen doesn’t want to watch this slaughter. She mostly just thought chickens came from a bucket. Their plan is to eat a chicken each day so that they’re finished prior to the merge.
Meanwhile, on Tagi, the emperor has no clothes. Once Hatch finally puts his clothes on, they begin to discuss the alliance. Rudy is finally onboard.
Gervase made a colorful remark: girls are the stupidest thing on the planet next to cows. Good luck dancing your way out of that comment. In addition to that, he hasn’t done a thing ever since he’s been on the island. Despite that, he’s never been on the chopping block.
The tribes get a can of dog food. Richard Hatch is happy to eat it. The boys don’t want any part of it on Pagong, but the girls will go ahead and eat as much of it as they can stomach.
The challenge is to find items abandoned by fleeing troops. They have to bring back items one at a time without bringing back duplicates. Reward is canned food and chocolate. Jenna starts off outrunning the doctor. He’s first out with the army helmet, then she grabs the army helmet as well. Sue is next up for Tagi, followed by Gervase. She’s got the pocket knife. Hatch is off next. Gervase has finally found something and gets the can opener. Gretchen is next for Pagong. Hatch gets the knife, a duplicate item. That’s Pagong’s knife, so it goes to them. They win reward.
Pagong has agreed to stick together. Or rather, Pagong minus Gretchen. She refuses to join an alliance.
Joel’s alienating the women on his team. They think he’s treating him like they’re dumb. He’s trying to convince himself he’s not a chauvinist.
The last immunity challenge has been constructed by the Green Berets. It’s an official US Army obstacle course. Rudy knows the winner is only going to be as fast as the slowest person. Since it’s a 4 member race, Rudy, Gervase, and Colleen sit out. Joel and Jenna run the first half of the race against Kelly and Sean. Tagi’s got a slight lead, and they join Richard and Sue at the half way point. For Pagong, Gretchen and Greg join at that point. The blown bridge requires strategy, as compared with the more physical first half of the race. Tagi retains their lead over the bridge and wins immunity.
That means the tribes will be going into the merge even at 5 against 5. The problem for Pagong is that they’re a lot more fractured than Tagi is.
After their loss, they’re happy that they can at least return for some chicken. The monitor ate their chicken, though.
Joel’s seen that Jenna has trouble hiding her guilt, and he has noticed that she’s been avoiding him the past couple days, so he assumes he is her target. He is correct. In this boys vs. girls divide, Colleen wants to vote against Gervase.
Joel has been linked to Gervase’s cow comments, although he’s not quite sure how. Gervase still feels invincible. Nobody wants to own up to feeling uncertain about the vote.

Greg has joined with the girls, and with 4 votes, Joel has been voted off. It’s a smart time to vote him out considering he is a physical threat, although the logic behind the vote seems a little silly.
