With the loss of Jonathan and tons of rain forcing them to sleep in the creepy cave, Airai"s morale is pretty low. They end up losing the reward challenge, where tribes are blinded and made to wheel a huge form of Micronesian currency around a course while a tribemate leads them to tile boxes to roll over and break, giving them smaller money stones that are used to solve a puzzle. Cirie and Malakal get the lead despite Cirie"s difficulty remembering that her right and left when facing her tribemates are the opposite of everyone else"s. Malakal enjoys a trip to an island with a shower, shampoo, and muffins -- all except for Tracy, who is told to "take one for the team" and go to Exile Island with Jason from Airai. The reward gives Erik even more of a chance to fall in love with Ozzy, which Cirie takes note of, still smarting from a forced boat trip to the middle of the ocean when they all know she isn"t comfortable swimming. I have no idea why you"d go on Survivor once, let alone twice, if you"re afraid of swimming. Back at Airai, after another night in the cave Kathy decides she"s had enough and cries, demands hugs, and then quits. It"s not much of a loss, so no one really cares. The tribes report to the immunity challenge, and Malakal is shocked to see that the tribe numbers are even by sheer luck. They still suck at immunity challenges though, as despite an early lead gathering puzzle pieces by manually cranking them in from a dock, Eliza"s mad puzzle skillz pull through for Airai once again and they win it. There"s some interesting plotting on the Malakal beach going into tribal council, as Cirie wants to send a message to Ozzy and get rid of his little protégé Erik, while Ami tries to get Tracy and Erik to vote Ozzy out while telling Amanda and Cirie to vote for Erik and Ozzy to vote for Tracy. It would have been amazing if it had happened, but in the end everyone votes for Tracy, who casts a lone vote for Ozzy. Well, at least she tried, which is more than you can say for Kathy.
