As the Brains turned on each other in Survivor: Kaoh Rong Episode 6, Peter was eliminated.
Cydney notices a bulge in Neal’s pocket, which she takes to be an idol. That could be the worst hiding job ever.
As one tribe sails across to meet the others, they are now merged.
There are 4 Beauty, 4 Brains, and 3 Brawn left. Nick approaches Aubry and Neal to form an alliance against the Brawn, but he is concerned about both Tai and Julia. Then he goes to the other team and learns that Tai has an idol.
Next up is Debbie. She wants to be in an alliance with Tai, but he doesn’t like her aggressive approach. Her other allies notice that her approach is probably a problem as well. Realizing they’re probably screwed by Debbie being Debbie, Aubry asks Neal if he has the idol, and he says he does. She should have just looked at his pocket.
Jason’s theory is that Beauty always goes with the jocks, which he apparently thinks describes himself, while they shove the nerds in lockers.
The immunity challenge requires ball balancing while also balancing on a perch. Joe is out early, and Debbie is right behind him. Jason falls toward the end of the round. After 5 minutes, they add a second ball. Michele, Neal, Scot, Cydney, and Aubry all drop within seconds. Then a third ball is added. Julia has been steady the whole time, but she’s the next one out. As Tai is eliminated, Nick wins immunity.
Michele doesn’t think that Jason or Scot can get any votes, and Nick thinks they are idiots. So they’ll be siding with them to get rid of Aubry.
At the challenge, they were discussing all their wounds. Jeff shows up at camp with medical to check everybody out. Tai is healing nicely. Scot is badly infected, but they will just keep an eye on it. Aubry looks sketchy, but they will be conservative and start her on antibiotics.
The nasty looking thing on Neal’s back is not an issue, but because what’s on his knee is potentially damaging to a joint, he is pulled from the game.
It wasn’t Aubry but her right hand man instead, and he departs with the idol they had hoped would save them if anything went wrong, which apparently it was.
