TAKI
Billy, Cecilia, Christina, J.P & Ozzy.
RARO
Adam, Candice, Jessica, Jonathon & Parvati

Billy attempts to takeover Taki. He thinks he can do everything. He attempts to build the shelter but really doesn't know what he is doing & Ozzy takes over. Then Ozzy climbs a tree & is compared to Mowgli to go up & get some bananas.

Over at Puka we learn that they are all different ethnicities. Cao Boi is much different than the other 4. He was born in Vietnam & fled during the war. He is a lot older than the others & they were all born in the US. He tells us he has never been accepted by the Asian community. Brad gets a headache so Cao Boi cures him by pulling out the "bad wind". It put a red mark between his eyes but it did work.

The Hikis say they are all city kids. Sekou attempts to take charge much like Billy. The others listen but he isn't the all important leader he thinks he is. Rebecca & Sundra find their tribe's water. Stephannie [Can't we have a Steph w/o a weird spelling? LoL] feels like an outcase cuz the 2 girls have bonded as has the 2 guys. Sekou takes a break from working but the others say he is always taking a break.

Jonathon took another tribe's chicken for Raro when they were jumping ship. He put that one along w/ their other one under a crate. Jessica, who goes by her rollergirl name "Flicka" lifts it up & accidentally let the chickens go & they weren't able to catch them. Jonathon is not happy. At night it gets cold & they have nothing so they all spoon. They call it a "cuddle puddle". Candice & Adam flirt.

The challenge was for both Immunity & Reward. The first 3 teams to the finish line will be Immune & get a flint. The 1st to finish would get a firemaking kit. There would be a twist revealed after it was over.
The challenge was to first put together a puzzle boat & then use it to paddle out to get fire & then bring it back, take the boat apart & then go put together another puzzle that is for the 4 points on a compass. Take that & the fire & parts of the boat to the next spot & then use the parts as rungs to climb up, put the other puzzles in their spots & light the fire at the top.
Hiki trailed the whole time. Puka won it. Hiki got 2nd. Raro forgot their 4 puzzles but still finished in time. So Hiki will go to the first Tribal Council.

Probst opens the twist. The losing tribe gets to pick one person to Exile. The guys did all the talking & the girls didn't get a say on it. Sekou & Nate decided on Jonathon for stealing the chicken.
So Hiki is now divided by sex. The girls want to dump Sekou. Stephannie knows she is the swing vote. The guys try to get her to vote Sundra out. Sekou tells her if she gets rid of him they will go for Nate next & then it will be her since Sundra & Rebecca are tight.

At Tribal Council Sekou says he is the leader of the tribe. Stephannie says she isn't w/ either side. Sekou voted for Sundra saying she is the weakest link. Sundra voted for Sekou & said he is a sweet man but this is the right move now. The votes were 3-2 against Sekou so he is the first one out of Cook Islands.
Sekou was really positive in his closing remarks & talked about how great his tribe was & that they will do great.

9/21: Hiki still needs fire. They haven't been able to & finally Rebecca gets it. Aitu has a lot of luck fishing. Cristina tells the tribe about being a cop & getting shot once. They see some chickens & she & Ozzy disagree how to set up a trap to catch them. Ozzy thinks he knows it all & is really obnoxious about it. They listened to him & were able to catch one & ate it. Puka also has set up a trap & they caught 2 chickens at one time. Yul tells us he respects Becky cuz she is Korean like him so they form an alliance. Isn't that funny how they all can't get along & he can only trust someone of the same race? Jonathon returned to Raro & tells them he didn't find the Idol. He is surprised that they have done nothing while he was gone & they still don't even have a floor to sleep on. Jessica is quick to help him build one while Adam hangs out w/ the other girls. I think Adam had his period or something cuz he gets all bitchy & thinks a floor is stupid & sleeping on the ground is just fine. What an idiot. Of course sleeping on something raised would be better, especially when it rains.

Billy is lying around Aitu being lazy but he claims he is doing it on purpose to conserve his energy for challenges. He tells Cristina that he has never felt apart of the Hispanic culture & feels like an outsider there. At night Billy snores really loud & the rest of the tribe move away from the shelter to talk about him. Ozzy & JP really want to throw the challenge just so they can get rid of him. Cristina is the only one w/ a brain & doesn't like the idea.

Jenny got a headache from being out in the sun & it is Cao Boi to the rescue. It worked yet again. At night when they are laying in their shelter Cao Boi tells Asian jokes & they are all offended. I say get a grip. Yul & Becky have no problem aligning based solely on where they are from & I think that is worse for stereotypes then telling a harmless joke.
Immunity & Reward were again rolled into 1 challenge. First Probst tells a story about Captain Cook. Then the tribes would be tied together & have to go through an obstacle course & collect 7 plaques that have answers to the 5 questions at the end of the course. The first 3 tribes to finish get Immunity & the winner gets 2 tarps. Jenny, JP & Adam sit out to make the teams even.
Aitu was the only tribe to start the race double checking the book while the other 3 tribes just went for it. Puka & Raro both got to the mat at the same time but Probst made the call & said Puka won. So Raro got 2nd & Hiki 3rd. Aitu listened to the dumb guys & through the challenge. Probst later said they watched the tapes & it was a tie between Puka & Raro so they both get 2 tarps. Aitu got to Exile someone since they lost & they chose Yul.

Cristina tells us she doesn't like Ozzy. I'm with ya girl. Billy talks to Cristina about knowing they threw the challenge to get rid of him & that if Ozzy gets his way then she will be next. She thinks that Ozzy is the biggest threat. Cristina then talks to Cecelia & asks her if she has a deal w/ Ozzy & she says no. She was pretty receptive to getting him out. Ozzy cockily tells us that he feels safe & knows if they took him out the tribe would suffer w/o him. Yul gets the 2nd clue & figures it out & finds the Hidden Immunity Idol.

At Tribal Council Billy tells Probst that Ozzy has taken the role of leader. Cristina said he's not the leader but takes control. Ozzy denied he is the leader. Billy said JP & Ozzy have decided that he hurts the tribe & threw the challenge. JP said he doesn't believe in carrying someone else's weight. Man. I was totally w/ Billy & rooting for the girls to take out the cock Ozzy & then Billy blows it by going psycho. He says he is playing the game & that's his dream but he found something better, true love. He claims he & Candice fell in love at first site & mouthed "I love you" to each other. Buh bye weirdo. JP said Billy is sketchy & shady. Cristina said she doesn't want to hurt him & is not into backstabbing.

We saw JP vote against Billy saying if he can't trust him now he can't trust him later. Billy voted against Ozzy saying he is the best player. Billy sabotaged himself & everyone voted against him so he was the 2nd one out. He tells us it is cool that the heavy metal guy was eliminated by a guy named Ozzy.

Next week a tribe has trouble catching an octopus. Puka continues to have no tolerance for Cao Boi. I guess they are users cuz they have no problem going to him for a headache.
