At the Reward Challenge, Probst tells everyone to drop their buffs because the tribes are being scrambled and Brains, Brawn and Beauty are no more. Now there are two tribes: Aparri (Sarah, Spencer, Morgan, Kass, Tasha, Jeremiah and Alexis) and Solana (Woo, Cliff, Trish, Jefra, LJ, Lindsay and Tony). Sarah lost her entire tribe, and all three Brains stayed together. Wow. It did seem pretty random, since they had to pick tied-up packages from a basket, so there was really no way for Production to rig it that I can tell.
For the Reward Challenge, one tribe member holds onto a pole while two members of the opposing tribe try to drag him or her across a line before the other team. Despite strong efforts by Tasha and Sarah, Aparri loses. They chose to have their two dudes attack Cliff on the other pole, so they didn’t have anyone heavy/strong to hold the pole in the final round. Solana wins a food reward.
Over on Solana, Trish tries to bond with LJ while Cliff and Woo are happy they’re still together with Lindsay. At Aparri, Sarah talks about the first-day choice and how they got extra rice because Trish didn’t look for the Idol, which outs Morgan, since she looked for the Idol.
In scheming news on Solana, Jefra tells Trish that she and LJ are tight, and forms a bond with her. While on Aparri, both Alexis and Jeremiah separately approach the former Brains and says that they want to join with them.
For the Immunity Challenge, the tribes have to carry this giant carved battering ram through three walls and then do a maze that involves maneuvering a knob through the grooves in the battering ram. It’s close, but Aparri wins; the former Brain tribe is thrilled to avoid Tribal Council.
Trish goes on a campaign to get rid of Cliff and keep LJ. Obviously, LJ and Jefra are on board, and Trish tries to convince Tony to join them. Everyone else wants to get rid of LJ, although they don’t know he has an Idol. LJ doesn’t play his Idol and their plan actually works; Cliff is voted out and Woo and Lindsay are shocked. And Lindsay is screwed, because she has done nothing to make any other alliances and contributes nothing to the overall tribe. Woo might be able to argue that he’s an asset, but she’s useless.
