Back at camp, Shambo is a bit annoyed that she was blindsided. Russell quickly comes out a lie, telling her that John was trying to vote her off so they had to get him out. She buys it and is back with the Foa Foa team. She’s just that easy.

The eight contestants go to the beach to meet Probst, thinking that another reward challenge awaits. But no prize, but an immunity challenge. So, there will be two immunity challenges and two tribal councils, looks like the producers want to speed up things now.

In this challenge, players are randomly paired together and play a Survivor bowling against each other. Whoever knocks the most pins down after throwing two balls moves on to the next round. First round, Shambo, Russell, Dave and Jaison win and advance. Second round, Shambo takes out Russell while Jaison defeats Dave. In the final round, Shambo throws two gutter ball, so Jaison wins immunity for the second week in a row.

Back at camp, Shambo states that Dave must leave and the Foa Foa four all agree first. Monica then tries to get Russell to vote out Shambo, claiming she’ll get votes on the jury for him. It’s almost quite certain that Russell buys her suggestion, he talks to Dave that they need to vote Shambo.

However, at tribal council, the Foa Foa four and Shambo stick to the original plan and vote Dave off.

In the second challenge, players have to race out in the water to retrieve three bags, one at a time, and bring them back to the beach. They then have to put the bag on a plank and jump on it so that the bag will land in a basket high above them. This has been done in previous Survivor, so anyone who’s a royal fan should have an idea of what to do.

Brett, Mick and Russell are the three that learn the tricks quickly. But it’s Brett who wins when he really needs to. (It’s very clear that Russell would vote him off in the second tribal council.)

Back at camp, Monica tries to play hardball with Russell, telling him that if she gets votes out, she won’t vote for him in the finale because she knows he already makes a lot of money. When questioned by Russell, she says that Natalie told her that. Russell goes after Natalie, furious that she would reveal his secret to his enemy, but she swear she didn’t sya it. They then go to ask Brett, who tells them that it’s indeed Jaison.

Meanwhile, Mick and Jaison worry that Russell will take them out when all Galu members have been eliminated. They try to convince Natalie to stay on their side. Russell feels that he might be a target of his own people and decides to use the idol if he feels anything in the tribal council.

At tribal council, right before Jeff start asking them questions, Russell takes out the hidden idol and wears it. Monica says he’s being cocky, but Russell claims that the great thing about the hidden immunity idol is that nobody knows what he’s going to do with it. (Exactly, I don’t think any of the contestants knows what Russell’s going to do. ) Monica’s being very obnoxious and keeps laughing at Russell. But that smile fades as she’s voted out.

Since the merge, the Foa Foa four have already knocked out six Galu members in a row. As Dave said, Russell was born to play this game. I really would like to see Russell in the final.
