Tonight’s episode of Survivor Cook Islands kicks off with both teams receiving an interesting piece of treemail. Not only did the mail include the usual letter, but it also included a catalog of various different items, ranging from peanut butter to a sewing kit. It turns out the winner of tonight’s reward challenge gets to go home with two items of their choosing from the catalog. Naturally, both teams are thinking foods, thinking energy and thinking carbs. One team chooses peanut butter and bread, while the other chooses peanut butter and potatoes. Maybe not the best combo, but definitely a good source of protein and carbs, which mean energy, something every survivor needs.

Survivor production crews invaded Vunivutu, Fiji earlier this month to begin production on the next installation of the Survivor series, Survivor Fiji.

The 6-week production schedule is estimated to generate roughly $6-million in revenue for the community and Labasa’s economy. The production will create 230 job opportunities for local residents and a drastic increase to the economy as the 250 person production crew will need food, shelter and the essentials.

Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase was on site and launched the official start of the massive 6-week production.

Survivor Cook Islands Episode 7: “A Closer Look”

Turns out tonights episode of Survivor Cook Islands wasn’t even a true blue episode. For whatever reason the folks over at CBS decided they would be better off running a recaps and never before seen footage episode instead of the usual back stabbing, fish eating, coconut milk drinking, battle to the death.

CBS branded tonights episode as a never before seen footage episode, but mostly recapped the past six episodes, adding in unseen footage here and there. So instead of boring everyone and writing about all the crap you can already find in old survivor recaps, I’ll highlight the unseen footage they decided to air.

Find out what you missed after the jump!

Tonight’s episode of Survivor Cook Islands started off with Adam and Christina getting into a bit of a fight, of sorts. Apparently Christina doesn’t like to be called annoying or bitched about by everyone without her knowing it. I wonder why.Over at Raro Playboy Foursome star Ozzy is fishing up a storm, catching a boat load, as usual. Jon is in his usual seat on the boat playing the fish holder boy. It also comes out that Jon is feeling threatened and sees Ozzy as the biggest threat in Raro. Duh!

Back at Aitu Cao Boi gets into it with everyone, again. This time it’s because he wants to bring the immunity idol to the reward challenge, even though it’s not needed. Apparently he has some kind of weird attachment to it and the spirit it represents and thinks it would be good to bring it every where they go. Jon confronts him and tells him no, cause it’ll be like rubbing it in the other teams face and Cao Boi ends up giving up.

Survivor Cook Islands Reward Challenge

Tonight’s reward challenge is a special one and comes with an interesting twist. The winning team will get to chow down on lamb shanks, bread and apple cider, but will also have to go to tribal council and vote one of their tribe members off the island. But, in another twist of good news, they wll get to chow down on their food while sitting in the jury section, listening in to the other tribes tribal council. Now, on to the reward challenge:

• Each tribe must select 3 of its members to hold on to a post as hard as they can
• The remaining members of each tribe then attack the person on the post of the opposite tribe in groups of two, trying to pull them off the post and drag them over the finish line

Becky and Jessica latch on to Jenny and manage to pull her off her post and across the finish line first. While Parvati and Rebecca have a heck of a time getting Candice off her post and over the line. She fights back hard and raro ends up losing a lot of time. Nate is the second to be pulled from his post and dragged across the finish line, while the other team finally manages to get Candice across the finish line. Quickly making up ground are Adam and Brad as they manage to pull ozzy off his post and across the line fairly quickly, but not quick enough, as Becky and Jessica get Christina across the line and win it all for Aitu!

Back at Aitu Cao Boi wakes up and tells Yul about some crazy dream he had. Cao Boi’s dream gave him an idea, an idea on how to really mix things up in Aitu. Cao Boi’s “voodoo” plan is to get the tribe to split the votes, 3 for jonathan, 3 for someone else, in the hopes of sucking the hidden immunity idol out of Jonathan. Only problem is, Jonathan didn’t find the idol, Yul did, so naturally, Yul loves the idea.

Back at Raro Nate catches another octopus and Christina is chatting it up with everyone, trying to earn herself a second chance. After working on nate a little, he heads over to chat with Sundra and they consider keeping Christina around. It also comes out that the girls in general don’t seem to like Jonathan and they all seem to get a kind of untrustworthy creepy vibe from him. That’s no surprise, just look at his eyes.

Aitu Tribal Council

Cao Boi decides to bring the immunity idol to tribal council and it starts an entire line of questions from Jeff Probst. The whole Q&A portion is pretty much taken up by talking about Cao Boi and Jonathan.

And before the votes are cast, Jeff Probst reveals yet another twist.
