Survivor: Marquesas Episode 2

Peter sunk himself by being weird in Survivor: Marquesas Episode 1.

Rotu is getting close. Well, except for Kathy, who sleeps by herself near the fire.

Robert is struggling and has been pretty sick due to lack of food. He is the second Rob to come up with the plan to catch a pig or chicken. John has created a pig snare, which he believes will get him to the final four if it works.

Maraamu starts off every day with a morning show, a little break from the reality of the situation.

Patricia has changed since the last tribal council, and she’s turned into a workaholic contributing to camp. She may be able to buy herself a little while longer. However, as time goes by, her helpfulness starts to get on everybody’s nerves. They’re tired of listening to her talk.

John has also created a shrimp trap, and this works pretty quickly. He’s thrilled with himself, which is why he soon gets upset with Kathy. She’s been off on her own for a while, and she’s managed to dig up some shells. Perhaps not the most appealing food, but at least it’s protein. No pats on the back for her, though.

Sean has decided that the others on his tribe are going to be racially motivated in this game. Not that they’ve given him any reason to believe so. Their actual problem with him is his laziness.

Rob and Sarah are attached at the hip, which Hunter views as a problem. They’d get more out of Rob if they got rid of her. Rob realizes he’s got an extra vote, but he also has to be on the look out for her because she’s not really doing much.

Kathy has found some more goodies. In order for them to get that food, they have to listen to her first. Gabe complains. He’s not interested in food, shelter, or water. He wants to get to know people first. Nonetheless, he agrees to finally build a functional shelter.

The reward challenge is to remove rocks from boats underwater and bring them up to sail them to shore. Reward is masks, snorkel, and fins. Robert sits out for Rotu. Most people are getting one or two rocks at a time, if that. Gabe gets 19 rocks at once, potentially a huge boost for Rotu. They are, indeed, the first tribe to be able to flip over their boat. Led by Hunter and Boston Rob, Maraamu is not far behind. Rotu hops in their boat first as Maraamu bails water for perhaps too long. Having led the whole way, Rotu wins reward.

Vecepia, Patricia, and Sarah have been working on palm fronds to finish their roof and protect them from the rain. Sarah’s been saying for two days they need to get this finished. Now that Hunter says it, people finally start to listen. Gina says this is her fault because if she wanted it done, she should have done it herself.

Gross food challenge time. A Marquesan delicacy, fafaru, has been set out for them. It’s made by putting parts of various sea creatures in water for three days and letting it rot. Then the marinade is put on slices of fish and put in the hot sun for a couple hours. Shouldn’t a delicacy be something tough to come by? Zoe and Hunter are fine. Neleh and Patricia are also good, with Neleh barely keeping it down. Paschal and Sarah are next and do fine. Vecepia and Kathy go next and also are good. Sean and Robert both struggle their way through it. Gina and Tammy are okay. John makes it through with difficulty, but not as much difficulty as Boston Rob, who just finishes before Probst stops counting to 5. Hunter is once again fine, and so is Gabe. Since it’s a tie, they will select two people to break the tie. Rotu picks Boston Rob. Maraamu selects Neleh. With Rob having the most difficulty, Neleh wins immunity for Rotu.

Sean wants to target Sarah because he feels it’s either him or her. Rob, however, thinks they shot themselves in the foot last time by not getting rid of Patricia.

Sarah doesn’t want to expend too much energy at camp because it will weaken her for the challenges. Gina, however, doesn’t like that someone isn’t working hard enough at camp so she will be weaker at challenges because she has to pick up the slack.

Missing the concept that this is a social game, Hunter’s and Gina’s focus on all work and no play has them backing the wrong horse. By a vote of 4-3, Patricia has been voted off the island.
