We're Not Going Back to Immunity! Survivor Palau Episode 4 by atarus
Since I'm at home for spring break, I'm doing this recap by memory. So bear with me.
The episode starts off with the six remaining Ulong around the campfire, once again complaining about going to Tribal Council. They're upset, etc. etc. James says that if people don't start getting in gear he's going to have to "stomp on them." And Kim, ever so bright and brainy, says "Well maybe if you helped them and didn't stomp on them we'd do better." James grumbles and says "You know what I meant." Yes we did, James, yes we did.
At Koror, they get a treemail about having to pick a representative for the next challenge. Coby, Janu, Caryn, Ian, and Gregg all volunteer and say they want to do it. However, it immediately goes to between Ian and Gregg. Coby complains about how Tom, Ian, Katie, Gregg, and Jenn are a group of five and how no matter how many times he said he wanted to do it, they ignored him. He knows that if they go to Tribal Council, they're screwed. Eventually Ian is decided to be the leader.
On Ulong, the whole leadership thing doesn't appeal to them so they go fishing instead. (Way to go Ulong. Show that host who's boss. You can pick a leader whenever you want to.)
Well, the representative has to choose tools to build a latrine and shower. Ian's dad worked in construction so that's good. He chooses to sit out Jenn, Coby, and Janu. On Ulong, Jeff is flabbergasted that Ulong hasn't chosen anyone, and so on the spot they choose James, who isn't too happy about it. But he also worked in construction so he knew the right tools too. (And we're not talking about him knowing Kim, either. Oooooh.)
On Koror, the building is going great. Caryn, who is Lil' Miss Negative, complains about how everybody defers to Tom and how everyone thinks Tom is so great a leader and blah-de-blah-de-blah. Mr. Miyagi gets a confessional (Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!) and comments on how a day can't go by without Tom and Ian complimenting everyone else on the tribe. On Ulong, the building is going......not-so-well. Stephenie is irritated at James for something. Angie is irritated at James for telling her how to nail. I love Ulong. They don't have a leader, and when they finally elect one all they do is complain about him when he leads. Kim says that she's the "brains" of the operation and is letting the "beasts" go at each other. Yes Kim. In your special world maybe. Meanwhile, Bobby Jon is out there cutting down trees like it's nothing.
Koror wins the challenge 'cause their latrine and shower is more nifty. They get a new, kick-butt shelter and two bottles of champagne. Caryn laughs maniacally because she's drunkish and reminds me of the Wicked Witch of the West. Ulong pouts.
It's time for the immunity challenge! The challenge is going one-on-one with a little sandbag thing, sumo-like. They have to knock the person they're facing off against off the platform and into the water, and the first team to six points wins immunity. Ian, Willard, and Katie sit out.
First is Bobby Jon vs. Tom. The battle lasts a while but Tom emerges victorious. Then it's Stephenie vs. Jenn. Jenn gets her tail handed to her. 1 to 1. Ibrehem vs. Gregg, Ibrehem lunges but it backfires and Gregg throws him in. Angie vs. Caryn, Angie kicks Caryn's whiny little butt. 2 to 2. And then Koror puts the whup on. Coby pushes James in with ease, Janu in a tough little match against Kim gets her in, and then Tom beats the aggressive Bobby Jon a second time. It's 5 to 2. And then Ulong gets furious. Stephenie clobbers Jenn a second time. Ibrehem strikes vengeance upon Gregg and nails him. And Angie whups on Caryn a second time and screams "WE'RE NOT GOING BACK TO IMMUNITY!" Whoops. Unfortunately, Angie's accidental premonition is right as James gets pushed off by a "homo-shecks-shoo-al." Koror wins four straight, and Ulong is just crying.
At this point I'd like to petition a new Survivor slang term. Pagonging is when a tribe, at merge, gets picked off one by one. Ulonging should be when a tribe is completely decimated and destroyed in challenges during the tribal portion. That's just my two cents.
So James is bitter that Coby beat him, but hey, Coby works out at a gym because he's gay so it's okay. The girls are talking about banding together because if they vote out Kim, the weakest link, it'll be three guys to two girls. And they'd also be voting out their brains. *wink wink* Kim thinks that Stephenie and Angie are smart and wouldn't vote her out, but hey it still could be her. Bobby Jon and Ibrehehem and James all know who THEY are voting for.
At Tribal Council, Jeff pounds Ulong with the questions again. First he opens with "I saved you your seats from last time." Ah, Jeff, I adore your biting sarcasm. Bobby Jon hates himself because he's a competitive person and he hates losses. Stephenie hasn't lost this much in her life. Jeff brings up the point that Stephenie and Angie got 4 out of the 5 points for their team and what's with the men getting their butt kicked? Kim gets in a little dig about how the men on the tribe are worthless before it's time to vote.
Blah blah, no real suspense, Kim votes for James, James votes for Kim, and Kim is voted out 5-1.
Next time: Ulong gets lost on the way back from Tribal Council, and there's a big game-changing thing.
Kim had final words but I didn't really care.
That's all from me! Until next week, e-mail me at atarus33@yahoo.com with any thoughts or comments.
