Day 15: Ants on coconuts...

"Where did that come from?" The question on Anthony's mind.

Meanwhile, Yau-Man's very surprise that he's still in the game. People like him don't have much to offer, and he views himself as the most expendable.

Mail!

"Today no brawn required,
Some brain-teasing at the least.
When it's over, one gets exiled,
While the others get to feast."

Anthony's excited for two reasons... Brain-teasers and food.

The two tribes meet on Challenge Beach, but this is guaranteed not to be that much of a challenge. Jeff signals for two tribesmen to come forward. Edgardo from Moto and Earl from Ravu come forth.

Then Jeff says the four words that strike fear in the hearts of every Survivor player since Africa... "Everybody drop your buffs."

SWITCH!

The last person to be switched will be exiled, to replace the tribesman to be voted out at Tribal Council. Moto will pick first, that's Edgardo. He picks Mookie. Earl picks Boo.

The tribes at the end...

MOTO: Earl, Michelle, Cassandra, Yau-Man, Stacy, Boo

RAVU: Edgardo, Dreamz, Mookie, Anthony, Rocky, Alex.

Lisi ("Aw, geez... Thanks.") is the last one standing, which means that she's going to exile, while the others get to reach into Jeff's sack of tricks to pick a beach. After a round of janken, Edgardo gets the draw... and draws Ravu Beach. Waa waa waaaaaaaah.

On Exile Island...

Clue #6 reads:

"The highest point, the jutting point,
The edge of the lip, below.
Dig dig dig and save yourself
From the fatal blow."

... whatever. She's pissed. She don't care about the Idol.

Meanwhile, the Moto tell Earl not to get the bed dirty. But it's nice to have breakfast. For once. But in the back of his mind, he's still all about business, namely the business of him and Yau-Man looking for the Idol. "They have no idea that it is on this island."

Over at Ravu... different story, as Alex tries to rally the troops about something about overcoming adversity. He always thought that there was a power struggle over at the old camp, and he's very happy to be at this new camp. All this while he and the rest of the troops scarf down their platter of crackers and booze. Anthony hates the fact that he's the nerd and the weakest performer. "I am so screwed."

Boo at Moto thinks that he has had the game wrapped up, but now it's time to plan anew. Earl, meanwhile, knows that it's three Moto vs. three Ravu. He needs a swing vote in order to stay in the game. Will it be Cassandra? She likes both sides, but she'll see how things go. So he has Yau-Man and Michelle... Will Cassandra be the swing? Stay tuned...

Back at Ravu, Rocky rips Anthony a new one for now manning up. Safe to say on an island populated by all men. Meanwhile, Alex wants to bring Mookie and Dreamz into the LAX alliance. They're good with that.

I-CHALLENGE: Stuck Together, Torn Apart.

Harnessed together via a six-spoke hub, the tribes must maneuver through a maze of posts leading through five gates. First one through the maze wins Immunity.

Winners... after plenty of pushing and shoving... MOTO! Even with the new tribes, Moto still wins. And Yau-Man mentions that he's got the strength to carry the flag... For once.

And Ravu, surprise surprise, are heading to another Tribal Council. Anthony calls himself "Black Cinderella", wondering what the others are up to. He spies on Rocky trashing on him, more specifically that Erika and Jessica played a stronger game than he did. Ouch. Very ouch.

Edgardo meets with Anthony, saying that Rocky is too explosive to bring along to the merge. Rocky does nothing more than run his mouth. Anthony, to that extent, tries to talk up Rocky being put up.

Meanwhile, Rocky tells the LAX that Anthony is trying to sway the vote by crying like a baby. But will it work?

Night 15: Tribal Council...

Edgardo took one look at the Ravu camp and realized for the first time that he had to come in and play the game after 15 days. Mookie says that everyone pulls their own weight. Rocky tears into Anthony again for not being assertive. Anthony finally asserts himself, saying that he wanted the new tribe to grow together and stronger for it. Alex says he feels sorry for what Anthony just had to endure. Anthony appreciates the criticism, but not for the name-calling.

Time to vote...

Anthony: ROCKY - "I was getting respect back for you, and now I lost it. Watch your mouth."

Rocky: ANTHONY - "I hope you'll take this experience and learn from it."

And the others...

Edgardo: ANTHONY
Alex: ANTHONY
Mookie: ANTHONY

That's four. That's enough. But just to say it's official...

Dreamz: ANTHONY

By a unanimous vote, Anthony, THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN.
