The alliance planned to vote out Kelly for being less clever than she thinks she is, but after Kelly won immunity, they opted instead to vote out the last remaining Pagong, Colleen, in Survivor: Borneo Episode 11.
Rudy’s given his word. His word is good. He hopes that whoever has given their word in return is good, too. If not, he has friends back home who handle people like that.
Rich is promising everybody they’re going to the next step with him. He doesn’t care who leaves as long as it’s not him.
Sue confronts Kelly about being a backstabber based on what Colleen said. Kelly, who’s said repeatedly she’s not in this alliance (yet nonetheless has continued to stay with them), says she was never trying to be with the other side. Sue is mostly upset that Kelly tried to look like the good guy and throw the others under the bus. Rich is willing to listen to Kelly’s ranting, seeing this as a good thing for himself.
The mud volcano actually created the entire island. They’re turning it into a challenge. The contestants will collect as much mud from it as they can, putting it into their buckets over the course of 5 minutes. Reward will be a trip to a mysterious bar with Jeff, where they will watch the first 5 minutes of the very first episode of Survivor. Kelly gets 15.9 pounds. Rudy gets 10.0 pounds. Sue gets 15.0 pounds. Sean gets 15.4 pounds. Rich gets 12.8 pounds. Kelly wins reward.
Everybody had a lot of fun at the challenge. They seem to be over the fact that they hate each other. That won’t last long.
Sue has told Kelly that she needs to align with Rich, rather than her. However, they agree to treat each other in a civil manner. It seems Kelly’s only chance here is to keep winning challenges.
The immunity challenge is to answer questions about island folklore after listening to Jeff tell them a story about the island. Some interesting aspects of the tale: every person voted off has had their torch blown out by the wind (to be relighted so it can be ceremoniously snuffed out), it has rained at every tribal council, and Joel chased a pit viper away from camp only to be voted off at the next tribal council (welcoming snakes into your camp is supposed to be good luck). When the story is complete, behind each of 5 masks in the jungle is a question. They need to answer those questions correctly. Kelly has won immunity again, so there goes the theory that they can vote her off. Her plan is to vote for either Rich or Sue. Now that she has very little other choice, she is finally out of that alliance she hated so badly, or so she says.

Sean
With three votes, Sean has been voted out. His torch does not need to be snuffed because it went out during the vote, as has happened to all of the post-merger people who have been voted off. Whether they wanted to or not, the alliance has stuck together. Despite her talk to the contrary, Kelly continued to vote with the alliance, making it unanimous against Sean. Sean’s elimination represents the removal of the last of the people who really did not want to play the game, although he at least gets some credit for making an effort, even if it was too late.
