As the biggest outcast in her tribe, Stacey was sent packing in Survivor: South Pacific Episode 4.
We start off with more crying from Brandon. What is this, Big Brother?
Stacey, who hates everybody anyway, warns Savaii to look out for her old tribe. By the way, the name of the guy running the tribe is Benjamin. Her sour grapes, while mildly amusing, are just that. The duel is to keep catching balls in a chute. They start with one ball, and more will be added as time goes by, up to six total. Stacey quickly disregards Probst’s advice to be careful about spacing. Not long after, she is out, and Christine stays alive.
Coach tells his tribe to not call him Benjamin to his face, or he’s going to go nuts (again?).
Ozzy asks how to spell Cochran. That’s not a good sign.
Hearing the story about how Benjamin is in charge, Ozzy says that, if he were smart, he’d get rid of Albert soon. Does that mean Ozzy’s going to target somebody strong on his tribe?
Realizing he’s in trouble, having been pointed out as one of Coach’s top allies, Albert goes and finds the clue to the hidden immunity idol. After searching for a while without any luck, he reveals the clue to Coach and Sophie. Coach is the one who ends up finding it. Hope handing it away pays off for you, Al.
Cochran’s getting tired of Ozzy. Me, too. He calls him a lazy ass who just has a few moments of brightness each day.
At the immunity challenge, they are greeted by a roasted pig. It’s not for eating, though. Rather, it’s for chewing with their hands tied behind their backs. All these challenges leave me with a sense of deja vu. Reward is veggies, spices, bread, and another clue to the idol (both of which have already been found). As gross challenges go, this is up there with the best of them. After they’re done, time for weighing. Savaii has 22 pounds and 12 ounces of meat and bodily fluids. Upolu weighs in at 22 pounds and 14 ounces. Upolu wins immunity and reward by 2 ounces. The difference: Mikayla scooped a piece of meat off the ground that Rick deliberately left there. In addition to their reward, they also get the bucket of meat.
Dawn says the back of one of her molars is gone. If true, that could be a game ender. Tooth pain in the middle of nowhere. Bad combination. Ozzy’s also got a chipped tooth and a dislocated jaw, and everybody else has cuts in their mouths. Cochran warns them they’ll get herpes.
Cochran hopes to prove he’s a worker bee, but is that enough to save him? His hope is that he, Dawn, and Jim will be able to pry Elyse and Ozzy apart. Jim hopes to sway Keith to vote their way. Perhaps he can use Ozzy’s theory of voting out strong people prior to the merge to sway him. Keith and Whitney now have to make the deciding vote between either Cochran or Elyse.
Here’s the dilemma. They want to betray Ozzy, but they still want to be allied with him. With Jim having shifted, the alliance is fractured regardless. Seems to make more sense to just go with the majority. Cochran doesn’t care if Ozzy thinks everybody is against him. That’s exactly what he wants him to think.

Whitney and Keith chose to keep the blood off their hands by throwing votes Dawn’s way, but the damage is done either way. With 3 votes, Elyse has been voted off the island.
