It was very rigorous, especially diving down to retrieve the key. The girls, in particular, were spent. Although Aitu had Nathan (a good swimmer) through the challenge, they didn't quite trust him and had to sit a member out. So, he sat. For Raro, Brad wanted to do the puzzle solving instead of the physical part of the challenge. Oops, Raro lost. Aitu chose Adam to be the Exile Island exile.
Back at the Raro camp, they were all up in arms about Brad choosing to put together the puzzle. Nathan, in a confessional spot, called him "puzzle boy" and "such a Nancy boy." Ouch. Then Nathan went fishing and providing so the women could rest.
Adam didn't even search for the Immunity Idol on Exile Island. A nasty storm moved in and he spent the night huddled in the broken hull of the abandoned ship on the island.
Returning to Aitu, the tribe members awakened to Ozzy carrying a bird he had caught in his hands. Although Jonathan was a bit reluctant, it was decided that the bird was food. They seemed very respectful about it, but I'm sure someone will be upset. I couldn't kill a bird unless I was starving, but Yul can. Finger-licking good!
Ozzy's "Jungle Boy" abilities continue and the tribe members appreciate them more and more. Ozzy himself seems to have changed a bit and I don't see that huge chip on his shoulder he was carrying in the past. Oh, yeah, there's still a chip on his shoulder, but he's wise enough to put it in his pocket when talking to the others.
The Immunity Challenge had tribe members building a staircase with
logs of ascending heights. Once built, they had to climb them to a ramp, take a zipline across the water, and retrieve a bag of puzzle pieces. (Have I mentioned how much I love ziplines? I do, I really do.) Another puzzle? They're having way too many puzzles this season, methinks.

I say the win will go to Yul. He comes across as the most sincere of the bunch, though it may just be he has a brilliant game face.
I see Becky as making the top 5, along with Ozzy, Parvati, Nathan, and Yul, natch.
I'd like Jonathan booted for the simple fact he's too slick and has had enough camera time under his belt as an actor. Unless we have a cast of nothing but actors, I think anyone holding a SAG card shouldn't even be considered for the show.
Oh, so...the show. When will the sneakiness and major backbiting kick in? Will it really take until the merge? Can we get another double ouster next week, please? I'm ready for games to begin.
