I can guarantee that after tonight half the Survivor fans are fuming and the other half are cheering. I just don’t know what happened. I mean, I can’t say I’m angry. I’m just shocked.

The fans tribe returned after voting Mikey out. Jason seemed troubled not only because he had lost an ally, but because it seemed like his tribe was only getting weaker. He had a bad feeling his tribe would not go far if this continued. By the way, I can tell Jason and Erik apart now. It only took five episodes!

At the favorites tribe, Chucky (or was it Charlie?) the rooster found himself on the chopping block, in the very literal sense. I remember the last episode they had been talking about killing him for almost two days. So, finally, three days later Chucky is losing his head. The only problem was, just who would kill the beloved rooster? Ozzy the Fishman stepped up to the challenge along with Amanda and James. James and Amanda held Chucky down while Ozzy the Fishman did the deed. During the mourning process (that was about ten seconds) Ozzy went into the forest and hid his immunity idol; he also told James, Parvati, and Amanda about finding it, trusting his firm alliance.

At the reward challenge, the favorites were very surprised to see that the fans had voted out Mikey. Jeff only added to the surprise when he told everyone to drop their buffs, they were mixing up the tribes. It ended up with Ozzy, Amanda, Ami, Chet, Joel, Cirie, Tracy, and Erik on the Malakal (a.k.a former favorites) tribe and Jonathan, Alexis, James, Jason, Parvati, Kathy, Natalie, and Eliza on the Airai (the former fans) tribe.

With their new tribes, two tribe mates from each side would be tied together with a harness; one tribe would chase the other through an obstacle course trying to get a flag off the other tribe's back. The first tribe to get three flags would win reward: a steak barbecue with potatoes, peppers, and spices.

The favorites Malakal tribe had started out with a lead, but lost it when Chet and Joel went out on the field. Joel was practically dragging Chet through the obstacle course. In the end, the fans Airai tribe won the reward, no one had to go to Exile Island.

This proved to be very bad for Chet. Immediately, Ozzy pointed him out as the weakest link and decided he was the next to go. In fact, Ozzy and Joel discussed their strategy together with Erik watching. I have to agree with Erik, watching Joel and Ozzy the Fishman talk strategy was a lot like watching two powerhouse countries talk terms. It was interesting.
