Galu finally lost something, and Yasmin was unsurprised to be the first boot from their tribe in Survivor: Samoa Episode 4.
Shambo’s surprised that she was the only person to vote on Yasmin’s side.
They’re told they have to keep something down, which means a gross food challenge. For Foa Foa, this is already a cause for divide. Liz says she’s worried about Ashley during this challenge, which leads to Russell H starting to turn on her. It’s a food reward. Get the gross smoothie down, and you win a barbeque. Kelly, Laura, and John sit out for Galu. Shambo and Jaison get a giant clam mixed with Jeff’s choice of octopus, sea snails, and noni juice. Shambo easily finishes as Jaison struggles to get it down. Russell goes against Russell for the jelly fish special mixed with milk. Russell S does fine, and after struggling, Russell H chugs it. Brett and Mick get giant clams and sea cucumbers with milk. Both do okay. Monica and Liz get sea urchin, and both of them do fine. Ashley and Dave get sea slug guts, which Jeff suggests may be the worst thing out there. Nice and chunky. Ashley can’t finish as Liz feared. Galu wins reward. They will be sending Shambo over to Foa Foa, to which she responds that’s not very fair. Russell declines to spread the love, and Shambo will miss out on the reward.
Ashley realizes she screwed up, so Natalie pretends that nothing’s wrong.
Before getting to the meal, Russell explains why he sent Shambo over to Foa Foa. She lost the chicken, but this should clean her slate. Then Russell tries to start the fire. Dave believes that he can start the fire, but he refuses to do so unless Russell asks. So Russell refuses to ask, although he eventually gives in.
Shambo, who asked for a group hug upon arrival at Foa Foa, has decided to share the clues to the hidden idol with their entire tribe. Not that it matters since both of them have already been found. Liz thinks that either Ben or Russell have the one from theirs, so she confronts Russell and calls him a liar when he denies it. She’s definitely his next target.
It’s raining and raining. As Erik warned, the choice of comfort over the function of the tarp means that all the blankets are wet and hence largely useless.
When Shambo returns, she gets some minor acknowledgement from the person nearest to her, Erik, but that’s about it. In their defense, everybody is barely functioning and just trying to break through the shivering, not that I expect their welcome would be much warmer otherwise.
For the immunity challenge, one man and one woman from each tribe will hold on to a rope connected to a net while members of the other tribe shoot coconuts into that net. Last net standing wins. Galu sits out Dave, Shambo, and Brett. Liz and Russell hold the net for Foa Foa, while Russell and Laura hold for Galu. All I can say is Galu needs to start losing some people because I keep hearing names I never heard before. Galu is kicking the crap out of Foa Foa as per usual. In the middle of the onslaught, Jeff points out that Ashley hasn’t made a single shot yet. Russell H falters and is eliminated. That means they’re going to all pile on Liz. She keeps fighting but eventually buckles. Galu wins immunity.
Jaison says things aren’t looking good any more. So apparently they were looking good when they lost 4 people in a row.
Contributing to their misery is the fact that it’s been raining for two days straight. Russell poses a question: does anybody want to go home. Despite their whining, nobody’s ready to volunteer. Because it’s raining, however, they’re hiding under the shelter, which means no strategizing going on before they go to tribal.
The guys should stick together and not vote against each other, so it’s just a question of which girl will end up going home. Russell is bummed out that he can’t talk anyone into voting out Liz. It would be a tough sell regardless, although he could get the two blondes on his side. The logical choice here is Ashley, who has not contributed to the challenges.
At tribal council, Russell claims to trust everybody. Ashley agrees but says she mostly trusts Natalie and Russell. Liz also gives the political answer that she trusts pretty much everybody.

By a unanimous vote, Ashley has been voted off the island. It would have been interesting if they were able to talk strategy and come to a different (and worse) conclusion.
