TV Review: Survivor: Micronesia - It Wasn't on Thursday Night!
Published March 20, 2008
In the end, Malakal was finally able to win a challenge. However, they had to send one person to Exile Island, along with someone from the losing tribe. They chose Jason from the other tribe and Tracy from their own. The Malakal tribe then went on to the spa.
The spa was a small hut by the waterfall filled with treats and more shampoo. I think it was Jeff's subtle way of saying they stink. Ozzy the Fish Man was pleased with the look his Grasshopper gave, this being Erik's first reward. After a while, Ozzy, Amanda, and Ami took a shower together. Amanda eventually took her top off with Ozzy looking right at her. I could only imagine what was going through Ozzy's mind at the time. Probably not a lot, except he was in the shower with two ladies. Sadly, his Grasshopper watched wide-eyed from the side.
After a rough night of sleeping in the cave with no fire, water, or cooked food, Kathy decided she wanted to leave. Jeff pulled his boat to the shore to confirm that Kathy wanted out. After talking it over, she decided she couldn't take another day. Jeff took her away and informed the other tribe mates that he'd see them soon, indicating there would still be an immunity challenge and a tribal council.
My Mom brought up a good point. They seem to be getting rid of people too fast. They've had two people leave the game and still have had tribal councils. It's becoming more usual for people to leave because they've given up or have been injured. However, normally when that happens, they don't have tribal council, too. This year they are. It's really crazy, isn't it?
At the immunity challenge, Jeff explained what had happened to Kathy and reminded the tribes the game was still on. For the challenge, each tribe would have to race across a bridge leading from the shore to a platform in the water, trailing a rope and hook behind them. Once they reached the platform, they would find five giant puzzle pieces, hook the rope to the puzzle piece, and hold on while the other team pulled them back. After they had all the puzzle pieces, two tribe mates would put the puzzle together. The first tribe to put the puzzle together would win immunity.
Ozzy the Fish Man gained a huge lead for the Malakal tribe, so much so that he let his Grasshopper go out in the water to get a puzzle piece. I actually think this challenge was tiring Ozzy and that's why he had Erik go get one set of puzzle pieces. He looked so tired his final time out, but he was able to bring the puzzle pieces to shore for Cirie and Amanda to put together. However, Amanda and Cirie had difficulties putting the puzzle together, and the Airai tribe was able to catch up and win the challenge.
