Day 4: In the Bat Cave

We begin the day with... snoring. Helen complains of it and the rest of the closeness. "As a tribe, you do sleep in close quarters and it's hard. Clay snores, and I don't know how a guy that's only five foot five has that much sound coming out of his body."

With a crappy old boat, Helen and Jan are out to get water. With no map. Crappy boat, no map. This ought to be quite a voyage. Clay was the first to notice. Helen and Jan, looking for more water, find a snake (we'll call him Richard). Annoyed with the situation and with Jan's laziness, Helen vented sarcastically, "It was a nightmare. If had a pistol in my pocket, I would have pulled it out, shot her first, me second."

Meanwhile, back at camp, Clay sets up a par 5, a par 3, and a par 6 to make use of his golf club. Helen and Jan make several wrong turns, but still no water... unless you count the rain that gets on them. The guys are still waiting on the back nine for a cool drink, too. I betcha Tiger never had to wait for this...

Helen and Jan hike back to the water hole, finally. "It's like being lost in the desert, it all looks the same." Jan isn't even helping. So four or five hours later, they have water. Helen is tired from the working. Jan is tired from the non-working.

Day 5: Ladies and gentlemen, John Mayer... Not!

Brian sings about food. Yum. Clay notices a mandrill and gets hungry. Apparently, Mr. Mandrill's also a fan of the acoustic stylings of one Brian Heidik (look out for the soundtrack next to Kelly Clarkson's next year).

Helen gets homesick. And for good reason. Today's her 20th wedding anniversary. The tribe gets together flowers for her and plans a surprise dinner party. Replete with guitar. Nice touch, there...

"You got mail!"

Life's not so cush running around in the bush
Have blind faith in the one that you choose
So carry the weight or seal your tribe's fate.
You'll miss great rewards if you lose.

R-CHALLENGE: Palanquin Slalom (lantern and fishing equipment)

Each tribe will have a guide and six blind-folded navigators. They must navigate the guide through a figure-eight course, untying posts along the way. The first tribe back wins. Sook Jai trips to victory.

Night 5: Dinner and a Morale Booster...

Chuay Gahn's back at camp.

Ted pretty much nailed it on the head: "We need a victory." Tanya's coming back around, BUT she still can't eat much.

Day 6: Squid... the kind that drives men to their deaths.

Calamari. It's what's for breakfast. Helen picks up on it and starts to cook it. Remember, not too long, not too short. "Helen... everything is serious, there is no play to her. She kind of has the personality of an encyclopedia. There ain't nothing in there fun to read. You only open when you need information." But hey, she knows how to cook squid, a useful skill only if you plan on venturing to Japan for the next taping of Iron Chef.

Mail:

Petals on the ocean, drifting out to sea,
Keep your tribe together, control your destiny.
Life is like a flower, so be the first to bloom.
Fail to work together, face tribal council doom.

I-CHALLENGE: Floating Lotus

Disengage six lotus puzzle pieces and assemble them. One player must  navigate in the puzzle. The other six swim. A close race throughout, but the win goes to Sook Jai, meaning, of course, Gordon has less to write about for ANOTHER week ^_^

So another Chuay Gahn is going home. Here's who's on the block: Helen, because Jan thinks she's annoying; Jan, because Helen thinks she's lazy; and Tanya, because in between the commercial break, she chucked again.

Night 6: Tribal Council

Ted and Ghandia believes that the morale is slowly declining. Clay thinks that Sook Jai's days are numbered. Tanya didn't think it's hard. Helen believes in the object of the game, to fit in with people. Question of the hour goes to Helen: "Why are you under orders not to cry?" Blame the Green Berets. So who doesn't mesh with the others? Like Brooke Burns says, "It's time to choose... the loser."

Brian: TANYA (Tennessee) - "Gotta make sure you get a full meal."
Ghandia: HELEN - "I just don't think you affectively handle stress, you
get too anxious and just start bugging out."

So far, tied at one. Here are the rest of the votes.

Helen - TANYA
Jan - HELEN
Tanya - HELEN
Clay - Tennessee (TANYA)
Ted - TANYA

Four will do it. THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN... Sorry, Tennessee!
