Coach is still firmly in control of the merged tribe, but some cracks are appearing as both Whitney and Cochran are talking about how to improve their positions in the tribe.
First up, the Duel. Keith, Ozzy, and Jim have to stretch their arms out and hold a pole on the back of each hand. Those poles hold up a board. If they move their hands at all, the poles will fall and so will the board. The last person with his board still up in the air wins and stays on Redemption Island while the other two go to the jury. While they compete, Brandon admits that he's rooting for Jim (the only one he knows at all) and Whitney says she's rooting for Keith (which is what I read about in the tabloids this week). No one is rooting for Ozzy. Doesn't matter because Ozzy wins and Jim and Keith go to the jury. Back at Redemption Island, Ozzy has gone native and, as usual, is emphasizing how awesome he is and how terrible everyone else is. He doesn't mention, however, that he's already been voted off twice.
Dawn and Cochran discuss the possibility of cooking up a plan to shake things up. What that will be remains to be seen. At the Immunity Challenge, the contestants must transport rice in bowls on their heads across two seesaws and fill a bowl. First to fill the bowl enough to lift a weight wins immunity. It comes down to Dawn, Brandon, and Sophie, and Sophie wins.
Albert decides to make his big move. He wants to gather together Cochran, Dawn, and Whitney to vote out Edna. Albert knows that Edna won't vote for him on the jury no matter what, and also hopes that this move will secure jury votes from the former Savaii. The problem is, he needs Sophie to make it happen, and she's not sure she wants to make a move against their alliance at the moment. In the end, Sophie doesn't flip and Dawn is voted out and heads to Redemption Island.
BUT WAIT! There's a twist. They are going right into another Immunity Challenge and vote. The Challenge is to answer survival-related questions. One wrong answer gets you knocked out for good. It comes down to Whitney and Sophie (though I think Coach threw it, or else he's really dumb). Sophie wins, and Whitney knows she's signed her death warrant with that loss and she is, in fact, voted out immediately. So now it's just the former Upolu plus Cochran left, with the threat of someone returning from Redemption Island at an unknown point. Let the games begin.
