In spite of Ozzy’s rather transparent attempt to save her, Semhar’s poor challenge performance in Survivor: South Pacific Episode 1 sealed her fate as the first person to be eliminated.
Coach reveals the names of his alliance members for those (like me) who missed it the first time: Coach, Rick, Sophie, Brandon, and Albert. He’s also got a side alliance with Edna.
Johnny Cochran has decided to do some work and ignore his mother’s instructions to not work with a machete without supervision.
Ozzy starts climbing trees looking for the hidden immunity idol. Somehow, this works. Unlike when he was an idiot and bowed down to the idol when Yul had it and then was an idiot again when he didn’t use it and got blindsided, he says he plans to use it wisely this time but won’t let anybody know he has it.
Brandon says he feels guilty because God doesn’t want him lying. Oh I hope this won’t drag on very long. His brilliant plan to hide who he is? Done on day 4 when he tells Coach, who considers Russell his number 1 nemesis.
Jim has a 3+2 plan: a core of himself, Ozzy, and Keith, plus Elyse and Whitney. This falls in line with what Ozzy and Keith were planning the night before.
Brandon doesn’t feel comfortable around Mikayla. I don’t think God approves of these impure thoughts. He dubs her Parvati.
Stacey’s loss is Christine’s gain. Everybody suspects she has been hunting for that hidden immunity idol (she has been), and she stumbles across something, though it’s just a clue.
At the challenge, they will unwind long ribbons from a pole and use the keys to release the other half of the tribe, who will move heavy crates across a platform until they can release the largest crate to be moved to another platform. Reward is pillows, blankets, a hammock, and a mat, plus a clue to the idol. Edna sits out for Upolu. Upolu’s working well together on the ribbons while Savaii struggles. The members of Upolu are free as Savaii continues to drag. Probst tells Dawn this is not a picnic. Upolu struggled on the very first challenge, and they’re repeating that performance again as they lose their lead on the puzzle. Savaii wins immunity and reward.
Wanting to flush the idol and get rid of Christine, Coach suggests a 3-3-3 vote. Brandon wants Mikayla gone. He says he will not change his mind, no matter what. As a suspiciously large group of them are standing around discussing this, Mikayla approaches, and Coach asks her for some privacy, then walks away. Weird.
Brandon blames Christine and Stacey for wanting vote Mikayla out. Coach brings this up at tribal council. They are confused. He refuses to say who gave him this information. Christine again reminds him he’s temporary. Brandon breaks down and admits he’s a liar. An honest liar.
