The Brains Behind Everything
November 13

It's been all Kota, all the time as the tribes think that they're merging at a feast. Instead, a discarded Immunity Idol and a tribal reshuffle turns into a missed opportunity for Marcus, who ends up on the next plane out of Gabon thanks to a quick power play from Kenny and Crystal. Now only nine remain.

Night 24: "You impressed me."

The Kota tribe returns to camp without Marcus, and everyone seems to be gravitating toward Kenny for having vanquished the vanquished. Kenny's now standing up for himself, being the cause of TWO blindsides and hoping for a third against Bob. Bob: "If I'm not in a merge, I'm history... even though I teach science. That's a joke."

Day 25: "It's frustrating."

There's nothing to cook at Fang, and there's no fire to cook it. We've got mail with a red golf flag...

"It will be fun, long drives and short putts,
You may need more practice than anyone thinks.
A once in a lifetime "cultural trip"
For those that perform best on the links."

And there's a slingshot. Time to start practicing.

R-CHALLENGE: Survivor Golf (for a trip to a Gabonese village to view a dance demonstration; Corinne sits out)

First of all, Corinne and Charlie wonder why their alliancemate is gone.

Using the slighshot, aim and launch your ball into the hole. Lowest number of shots wins the hole. Best two out of three wins reward

Hole 1: 300 yards. Kota sinks it in three.

Hole 2: 225 yards. Fang ties it up in three.

Hole 3: 200 yards, all uphill. Kenny overshoots it a bit. Matty shoots it under. Kenny overshoots it again. Matty ... overthinks this a little. Charlie and Randy tell him to just drop it... Randy with about 120 decibels. But it's dropped for a win. Not only are we heading to a reward, but Bob is heading to Exile.

The reward consists of the tribe walking into a village where Matty finally knows the thrill of victory. They start by getting beaten with wet leaves and robed in ceremonial clothes. Then they eat while watching a show. And being in the show. Randy... thinks one of the girls likes him. Oh my.

And Matty got all up in that. He thinks he'll be voted out next, but hey, he got a break.

Day 26: "No, don't get stuck again."

Kenny starts the day by getting his outrigger stuck in the lake. He's not an outdoorsman. That shows. But he thinks he's getting the hang of this game of Survivor as he catches three calopias for two beautiful ladies. He's working to be the provider, but he will take people out when he needs to.

Meanwhile, in Exile, Bob looks for an Immunity Idol that may or may not exist. He goes through all the clues... and sure enough, it's not there. He suggests that Sugar has the Idol in her possession. So he does the next best thing...  find a rock that looks like a skull and glue some knick-knacks to it to form... a fake immunity idol.

Day 27: "We got mail!"

"Today it's not important if you're faster, stronger or smarter.
To avoid going home tonight, be the best fire starter."

Sounds individual, right? Let's see...

I-CHALLENGE: Firestarter

We bring in the two tribes... and Bob... and Jeff says the magic words...

"Tribal Immunity is no longer what you seek, because today, INDIVIDUAL Immunity is what you're playing for, because you are no longer two tribes. Drop your buffs; you are merged."

Kota and Fang are no more, replaced with a blue tribe to be named later.

It's simple, really... Make a fire. All you have is a flint, a steel, and some supplies. Burn through your rope, and you aer guaranteed a one-in-eight shot at a million.

Bob's the first to get sparks. Susie's the first to get flame. Matty's the first to get an injury. Susie's the first to catch her rope. Winner... SUSIE!

The new tribe is welcomed with rice, canned food, pears, beans, coffee, and ... a little sojourn back into the game. Randy and Charlie's group are voting for Crystal. He's confident that Matty, Kenny, Susie, and Crystal are four, leaving Sugar as the swing. She wants to get rid of Randy. We could do that right after this vote. Corinne is forced to act like she cares about her. Kota Foursome to the end. Corinne finds that an easy buy.

Meanwhile, the counter alliance want to target Charlie, because he's "the brains behind everything". And Kenny just made that up right now. "I'll trade that Idol for his life. Serves him right."

Kenny tells Sugar that Charlie's the brain behind everything, and she soaks it up. So will she vote for Charlie or Crystal? Sugar doesn't trust Crystal OR Kenny... OR Randy OR Corinne. "Both sides want my vote, so I have no clue what to do, but I don't owe anything to anybody."

Oh, and the new tribal name... Nobag. Gabon spelled backwards.

Night 27: Tribal...

First Jury member, Marcus, is brought out. Remember, no talking to the Jury.

Randy talks about the tiff during Reward challenge. He had a sure thing, Matty had a 9 times out of 10. Charlie hopes we learn from it. Randy didn't miss his old tribesmates. Crystal wants to know what his issue is. Randy tells Crystal EXACTLY what his issue is. "You and your posse ran the tribe like it was a gang." Crystal's been pretty vocal, but she doesn't regret any of it. If you want the truth, this is Crystal. Charlie thinks that selfish badgering doesn't make sense. Kenny says opinions begin to change after a while. He thinks Charlie's a nice guy. Feeling's mutual. Kenny changed in Randy's eyes. Sugar thinks that Exile is serving the purpose of getting people to talk about her MORE.

Susie has immunity... and she's not giving it up.

Randy: CC - "Bitch."

Kenny: "Sorry, CHARLEY."

Charlie: CRYSTAL - "You took out my Marcus, and that makes me really mad."

Rest of the votes...

Bob: CRYSTAL
Corinne: CRYSTAL
Matty: CHARLIE
Susie; CHARLIE
Crystal: CHARLIE

And Sugar's vote is... CHARLIE. By a vote of 5-4, the TRIBE HAS SPOKEN.
