Misplaced Pages

Upon arrival, each tribe had 5 minutes to collect everything they thought necessary from a box waiting for them and immediately faced a grueling five-mile hike to their respective camps. Nick was in charge of the compass and got the Kucha tribe lost. Debb immediately took control, which got on people's nerves. Jeff Varner began feeling sick, which he blamed on the flight in. During the Ogakor hike, some people were having problems carrying things; Colby said that was the quickest way to see what everyone is made of. Keith ran ahead to scout out how far the camp was, and Ogakor arrived at their camp first. At the Ogakor camp, Keith and Jerri argued about where to build the shelter. Michael and Debb argued about how to start a fire, and Rodger donated extra pages from his Bible to help start it but to no avail. Colby and Keith attempted to start a fire at Ogakor with no luck, and Jerri questioned where they were trying to start the fire.

For the immunity challenge, the tribes have to maneuver across a broken bridge by using two planks. Going down to a raft with a torch carrier, they will get on the raft, put their torch on the holder, and then push the raft to get to the island that is across the way. At the island are two sets of ladder rungs that they need to grab and then go to another raft. The tribe has to pull on the rope to get back to the other island. Once they get to the other island they need to put the rungs on the ladder, climb up to a fire pit, and light it. The winning tribe would receive waterproof matches and immunity. Once Kucha got to the third section, their raft overturned on their torch, putting it out and disqualifying them. Mitchell lit the fire for Ogakor, giving them immunity.

A reward challenge involves tribe members jumping off a cliff, and swim out to a floating crate. Once all members are at the crate, they must dive down, unhook the crate, and swim it down through the rapids and back to shore. Ogakor took the lead and never relinquished it, winning their second challenge in a row. Jerri told the entire tribe at Ogakor that she saw Kel eating what looked to be beef jerky. The entire tribe started talking about it while he was out, and they rifled through his bag where they found nothing. Kel overheard them talking and confronted everyone, saying it was a blade of grass. The immunity challenge featured tribe members eating things based on a spin of a wheel.

Tina and Keith were concerned about their position in the tribe following the previous night's Tribal Council where Jerri said she was friends with everyone except them. Kimmi directed Kucha to a win at the reward challenge, where they won three chickens and a rooster. Michael wanted to eat the chickens as soon as possible so that he could go back to being a provider, but Nick told him that they needed to make decisions as a group. At Kucha, Michael caught and killed a pig with help from Nick. It made him feel much more comfortable with his position in the tribe. Ogakor took a 3-2 lead in a trivia based immunity challenge, but eventually Kucha pulled even. The challenge came down to Alicia vs Mitchell. In the end, Alicia got the final question correct.

The merge was on Kucha's mind; they wanted to go in 6-4 and knew the next immunity challenge would be key. The reward challenge had tribes select one set of eyes while the rest are blindfolded. The set of eyes navigated the tribe through a series of tasks. First is getting two logs into a sawhorse, then switching out a fishing trap on land for one in the water, then filling up a bucket with water from a water tower, and pouring it into a wine barrel until it overflows, then finally getting a picnic basket to the final table. The winning tribe receives Doritos and Mountain Dew. Ogakor became excited at the thought of a picnic and did yoga to prepare themselves; Kucha was more focused on not having Ogakor win, and Nick directed his blindfolded tribe around camp. At the challenge, Nick and Jerri were the leaders of their tribes. Keith and Amber were useless for Ogakor as Colby did the majority of the work. Even so, Ogakor took the lead after their wine barrel overflowed first. Amber picked up the picnic basket and moved toward the table but veered off track; Kucha, once overflowing their bucket, had Alicia pick up their basket and run to their table. She and Jeff Varner put it on about 2 feet before Amber, giving Kucha the win. Frustrated, Colby filled up a bucket of water and threw it at Jerri.

Since Kimmi told Ogakor that Debb voted for Jeff Varner at the first Tribal Council, Jeff Varner was worried that his previous number of votes would cause him to lose after a 5-5 tie. At Ogakor, they waited for information regarding the accident and Jerri thought that it may have something to do with Rodger.

Ogakor's tree mail told the men to go to the other tribe to scout the other tribe's camp; Kucha's tree mail told the women to go. When Elisabeth and Alicia showed up at Ogakor, they filled the women in on Michael's accident. The women were shocked but relieved to hear that it wasn't life-threatening. The Kucha men were surprised to see Keith and Colby and after a while sensed that Keith was the outsider of the tribe.

The remaining five were excited to receive tree mail that said their loved ones would be involved. While they sent a message to their loved ones, each castaway got a Danish and coffee.

• Reward challenge: The Survivor's loved ones would be asked 5 survival trivia questions via instant messaging. The winner received a 30 minute Internet chat with loved ones back home and a $500 shopping spree to buy their loved one's presents.

Tina's husband and children, Elisabeth's family, Rodger's wife, daughter, and son-in-law, Keith's girlfriend, and Colby's mom answered the questions for their Survivors. Tina's family got 4 answers correct. Each person got one final goodbye, and Keith took the opportunity to propose to his girlfriend, who said yes.

The challenge boosted everyone's spirits and everyone was in a better mood around camp. Colby said that for that one day, no one cared about winning a million dollars. The next morning after a long night of rain, Keith and Rodger found a smoldering log from a forest fire, which helped them start their fire back up. After rationing the rice for the number of days they had left, Keith continued to make more rice, even experimenting with the brown and white rice together. Colby finally said something to Keith about how he was contradicting himself from what he said a few days ago. Boredom began to set in, as there was nothing to do around camp.

• Immunity challenge: Each player is shackled together at the wrists, ankles, and waist. After hearing a story, they must run to 8 stations. A correct answer will give them a key to unlock one of their shackles, which they must bring back to the center of the course. They must get 5 right to remove all of the locks.

At the immunity challenge, Jeff Probst told them a story about aboriginal settlers. Keith had the lead but dropped one of his locks on his way back to the center. Unable to find it, it allowed Colby to get back with all of his locks and shackles. It gave Colby his third straight immunity win.

Rodger told Tina that he wanted to go before Elisabeth, as she needed the money a lot more than he did. Colby struggled with whether he wanted to sit with someone that would win him a million dollars, or if he wanted to sit next to someone he'd be OK with winning a million dollars. He contemplated voting for Keith instead of Rodger, thus allowing the most deserving to make it to the end. At Tribal Council, the remaining Ogakor members honored his wishes, and Rodger was voted out.

With the end near, the Survivors talked about how much they missed their families.

• Reward challenge: An obstacle course composed of stages from past challenges. Blindfolded and shackled, each person must navigate through a ropes course, ring a bell, take their blindfold off, complete a slide puzzle and unshackle themselves, then fill a holed bucket with water and cross a balance beam. Once there was enough water in the bucket, they then had to start a fire and light a fuse. The winner received a Pontiac Aztek and a good night's sleep, a hot shower and meal.

At the last reward challenge, the final four had a chance to redeem themselves from past challenges. Colby was the first through the rope course and the puzzle, followed by Elisabeth, Keith, and Tina. Colby and Elisabeth were dead even at the fire station, but Colby's bucket rose first, continuing his winning streak.

Back at camp, they received a mirror and a scale in tree mail to see how much they had lost and how they looked. Tina lost 16 pounds, Elisabeth lost 12 pounds, Keith lost 27 pounds, and Colby lost 25 pounds. The girls brought a car warming gift of wildflowers for Colby, which he really appreciated. Jeff Probst took Colby to his new car and joined him at dinner. They feasted on appetizers for a few minutes, until Probst had the food brought out – by Colby's mother. He was in disbelief and excited to see her and gave her a long hug. His mom said she wasn't prepared to see how much weight he lost. Colby brought his mom back to camp, who gave everyone a big hug and updated everyone on what was going on at home. Colby's mom brought care packages from everyone's families. Eventually, the helicopter came to take Colby's mom away.

• Immunity challenge: Find as many matching pairs of items as possible.

At the immunity challenge, Colby led the entire time and won his fourth straight immunity. Colby was torn between keeping Keith who he believed would win against, or Elisabeth as she deserved to go further. At Tribal Council, Elisabeth became the sixth member of the jury.

At tree mail on day 40, the final 3 were given wood to carve into idols and paint and feathers to decorate, which would be given back to the land. On the way to their immunity challenge, they walked past the torches of those who left before them. At the end of the walk, they found a quiet spot to reflect on their time in the Outback, then threw their idols into the river. Keith said he's realized that it's not about the money, and it shouldn't be, that you should walk away with something much more valuable; Tina said she has learned how much her family means to her; Colby said making the idol made him appreciate and remember why he was here.

• Final Immunity challenge: The contestants would answer questions about the players who made up the Barramundi tribe.

The final immunity challenge took place at Tribal Council. Colby took the lead after 7 questions, but Tina pulled even. After 11 questions, they were tied. On the last question (Who stated on their Survivor application form that their proudest accomplishment was being on the Dean's list in college for five semesters?), Colby said Amber while Tina said, Nick. With the right answer being Amber, Colby continued his dominance and got to choose whom to take with him to the final 2. Colby finally chose philanthropy over strategy, choosing to take Tina with him and making Keith the final member of the jury.

On day 42, Tina and Colby broke down the camp and made an agreement that the winner would get the flag. They had one more chance to take in their camp and the scenery around them.

Colby and Tina both pleaded their case for a million dollars. Tina asked the jury not to vote for someone because they got their feelings hurt and that what she was going home to was worth more than a million dollars. Colby said he didn't think he beat Tina in strategy, but that he did everything pretty well. Rodger asked for an instance where they did not tell the truth, and if they felt they played the game as ethically as possible (Tina said she lied about Amber getting voted off, and said by her definition, yes; Colby said he lied about taking Amber and Jerri to the final 3, and that he had a struggle with ethics); Amber asked what three things got them to the final and what three things they would do with the money (Colby said refusing to mentally check out, drinking water, and taking time out to enjoy, and that he would buy a Harley, buy a building for his father, and take care of his mother financially; Tina said strategy, Colby, and heart/God, and that she would pay off a house, her best friend's house, and set up a fund to draw out of once a year for a family in need); Elisabeth spoke about being deserving, and asked if they had the power to give 5 jury members the million dollar prize, who are the two they would leave out (Tina said Jerri and Rodger, Colby said Jerri and Keith); Keith asked them to give an example when they used manipulation to get where they are (Colby said manipulating Tina to vote off Mitchell to get their team stronger; Tina said the same thing); Alicia asked what one thing they were personally proud of and least proud of (Tina said the role she has played here and every Tribal Council; Colby said the fire-making challenge and realizing how little respect he's shown the land and taking it for granted); Nick said that if Michael hadn't gone, neither of them would be sitting there, and asked if Michael had never had his accident, what two people would be in their place and why (Colby said Nick because he had the mental game and Michael because he helped his tribe in every challenge; Tina said she couldn't answer the question because she didn't really get a chance to know them all that well, but by the way they described him there was no doubt that Michael would be one of the two); Jerri spoke about making and breaking alliances and asked them to clear their conscience by bringing up moments of feeling regret or guilt (Tina said going through Kel's bag; Colby said Rodger, Elisabeth, and Alicia's vote-offs because they were shallow, but that he had no regrets).

For their closing arguments, Colby had no comments. Tina talked about backgammon and how it related to her personal strategy, and that no one's vote off was personal.

Rodger voted for Colby, saying that he think played the game harder; Alicia voted for Tina, saying she really played this game by using her head; Amber voted for Colby, saying he was more straight forward and played the game better; and Jerri voted for Tina, saying Tina was the mastermind behind all of the strategies that took place including getting Colby to take her to the final two, which she deeply respected.
