The Pagonging began in Survivor: Redemption Island Episode 9 with the elimination of Mike and then David.
Matt tells God he wants out of this game. It’s simple then. Throw the challenge. This is not a prison. Alas, though, Jesus and/or God and/or the Holy Spirit and/or Matt’s father is and/or are not quitters.
Phil has made a decision (by way of premonition) that he trusts Rob again.
The Zapatera folks have decided to eat all the rice. Apparently, they don’t need to conserve food because they’re not going to be around much longer. Seeing them be morons, Phil steals some of their rice.
With last week’s double elimination, there will be three people at this duel, with all the others as spectators. Each of them will have 150 wooden tiles, which they will use to build a house of cards 8 feet tall. The first two stay alive, while the loser moves to the jury. Mike’s off to a quick lead. Matt is behind him. David’s quite a ways behind. Mike gets stuck about half an inch away but finally wins the challenge. Good thing there’s no rule about it having to last because it doesn’t stay up very long. Matt places second with a much better structure. David has been eliminated.
Ometepe has additional food issues. Maggots have invaded their rice. Eat it. It’s protein. Instead, they decide to dump it out on a blanket and sort the good from the maggotty. They ask if they can put their rice in the other tribe’s container, but Steve says no. Oh just quit already, dumbasses. You’re on the outside. At least make an effort rather than just laying down and dying. In turn, Phil threatens to steal their can. Yeah, but he’s just crazy, though he’s not happy to be called that by the enemy tribe or the rest of the nation. Then he brings out the race card.
For today’s challenge, they must build a multi-stage puzzle wheel. First, they will release a puzzle base (by spinning it and getting dizzy) and solve one puzzle. Then the first six to finish will solve a second puzzle to complete the wheel. Rob, Julie, Ralph, Andrea, Steve, and Grant move to the last round. Rob’s well known for his puzzle solving ability, and he wins immunity.
Aside from eating all the rice, the Zapaterans have a plan. They will vote for Phillip. All they need is just two votes. So they’re only two votes shy then.
Julie decides to bury Phil’s swimsuit, thereby forcing him to wear nothing but his pink underpants from now on. He blames Steve for his loss because Steve called him crazy (joining the club), which his theory says means the “n word”.
After a very lengthy discussion about the shorts at tribal council, Julie happily admits taking them.

With 5 votes, Julie has been voted off the island. I’m comfortable with that. She’s been making dumb decisions for weeks.
