As the sun rose on day 31, Tom is quite happy that he is still on the island. Tom ends up takes Caryn on a walk and explained that he needed to stay true to his 5-person alliance and that she need to win immunity to stay in the game. By the end of the conversation with Tom, Caryn knows that she could be going home unless something happens.
REWARD CHALLENGE: FIRST QUENCHER Q&A
Reward challenge was a Q&A game, with questions dealing with Palauan culture and history. Each player was assigned a fire wok suspended over the water. When a player got the right answer to a question, then that player could pull a lever that could lower one of the others player wok into the water. The winner of the game was the player whose wok was still lit.
The reward was the chance to spend the night on a luxury yacht, complete with a hot shower, a message and a fest.
Frist person out was Cayan, then Tom. Next was Ian, then Katie. The last two were Gregg and Jennifer. Gregg ended up taking Jenn out, and was named winner. Gregg was then able to pick whom he would like to take with him on the boat. Right away he picked Jenn. Then Jeff told him that could pick one more person. He picked Katie. While leaving for the boat Gregg told the rest of his tribe mates that he promised to pay back the other members of Koror. Tom sent him off with an ominous reply: Oh no, well pay you back.
With the tribe split three on the boat, and three on the island the plotting began. Ian, Tom and Caryn returned to camp each wondering about the pecking order that was shown during the challenge. Ian proposed a shift in the long-standing five-person alliance, thinking that if they were to stay with it they could be leaving before they are truly ready to leave. Caryn was happy about the turn of events, because this is what she was looking for, for a chance to stay on the island longer.
On the boat, Gregg, Jenn and Katie were handed some extra treats. On top of the shower, and the feast they also got their bathing suites, and got to spend time with their relatives/friends. Greg got to spend time with his long time friend. Jenn got to spend time with her sister. And Katie had her brother-in-law, because her sister had just had a baby so she couldnt make it. They also got the chance to swim with the dolphins.
As the day wore on and day turned into night, and they were done with their feast, Gregg and Jenn approached Katie. Gregg offered her a shot at the top three if she agreed to a plan that he had. It was to vote out Cayrn then go after Tom then Ian. Katie agreed, jumping the fence and leaving her alliance with Tom and Ian.
The next morning, a boat took Gregg, Jenn and Katie back to camp, with their relatives/friends. While on the island, Katie and her brother-in-law were talking to Ian, and Ian gave his word that he wouldnt write Katies name down. (I guess they didnt see All-Stars??) As the sun was sitting the boat took the loved ones away.

JENNIFER AND HER SISTER

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: SECOND CHANCE
At Immunity Challenge, they were lined up at the beginning of an obstacle coarse. The coarse was made up things that the survivors have done in past challenges. The person who came in last after each part of the coarse would not move on to the next part of the coarse.
Part one: All 6 had to navigate a net maze. Caryn came in last.
Part two: 5 had to solve a land version of the water puzzle of the start. Katie came in last.
Part three: 4 had to eat three balutes, the half formed bird egg. Gregg came in last.
Part four: 3 had to unleash lock-boxes, get the flag out of the box and be the first to get their flag up the pole. Jennifer came in last.
Part five: Tom and Ian, had to target shoot. Ian handled it with no problem getting three targets in three tries. Ian won immunity!
After the Immunity Challenge, everyone headed to camp. Where Caryn put in an Oscar winning performance. Tom and Ian told her to act like she knew that there was nothing she could do, so she knew she was going home. They told her to do a Janu. She did, and did it quite well. Gregg approached Tom and Ian, to make sure that everyone was voting for Caryn, and made some comments on how she was acting at camp. Ian made slip that TC should be interesting, but Gregg must not have really caught the slip. Because the next thing we see is him and Jenn talking and he is very confident that his plan will happen. That Caryn will go home, and then they can go after Tom.
Right before everyone was to leave for TC, Ian took Katie aside to let her know that he, Tom and Caryn would be voting for Gregg, and that they were more than happy to chance a tie. Katie was really put out that Ian had approached her so soon before TC, and she felt that she had no time to really think about what he had to say. (In other words, no time to go tell Gregg and Jenn what was going to happen.)
In the end with Katies vote for Gregg, a tie was avoided, and no one had to pull out any rocks, and Gregg was sent home. Much to the surprise of Jenn who thought she and Gregg were very much safe.
Gregg was sent home with a 4/2 vote. Tom, Ian, Cayrn, and Katie voted for Gregg. Gregg and Jennifer voted for Cayrn.
( I wish I could find a pic of Jenn's face it was priceless!!! It had to have been the best OMG!!! face I have seen is quite some time!)
(visions of Pasqual are running through my head)
