Day 10: Sleeping in the Bat-Cave-O-Love...

The Cave-o-Love is anything but today. "The mood is different. It�s not as jovial as it used to be," explained Jan in regard to the whole tiff over Ted�s grabbing for his wife thinking that it was Ghandia... or something, I got confused in all the mess. I mean, between the shouting and the drama, and the (no audio), it�s just... Okay, where was I?

Meanwhile, Ghandia does the WORST John Lennon I�ve EVER heard. �Love, love, love, love everywhere.� Umm.. yeah. In her confessional, "If Chuay Gahn were a body, then I am an arm that got bit off by a shark, and it's not there anymore." Actually, and this is a fact that I learned, if your arm gets bitten by a shark, you still have some feeling there (the �phantom� effect). There�s no feeling for Ghandia as far as I�m concerned, so she�s not even the disembodied arm. But if she truly is, we�ll see her in, oh, 45 minutes, once CSI starts.

So the rift gets deeper. Jan believes that there is �a conflict of understanding� and that �somewhere in the middle lies the truth.� That�s the professional counselor coming out. But really we know that she�s cozying up to Ghandia. But then again, that�s the game.

Ted, you�ve got some �splaining to do. "As far as I am concerned, she is nonexistent. I only see five people on this island. I hope I never see her again for the rest of my life." Hmm.. Gonna make for one heck of a reunion show. Clay erupts in an unparalleled emotion that you really expected to come from Ted. "Do I feel sorry for Ghandia? Hell no! I am ready to get her ass back to Denver as quick as I can."

Day 11: The postman rings once... probably a good thing, too.

Well, maybe. Clay finds a dummy. He can�t pick it up, so he grabs the package that came with it � a basket of art supplies and a banana - and heads back to camp. Oh, you want to hear what Mark Burnett wrote this week. Okay.

�Kind of big and lazy, he�ll lay around all day.

If you want to get things done, you�ll have to take him out to play.

The newest member of the tribe, in the next challenge he�ll compete

So dress him up, give him a name, he may help get good stuff to eat.�

So Helen�s entranced with the idea of food, especially after eating... whatever it was that the Red Berets made last week. You want to talk about big and lazy? Ten feet and 250 pounds of bedsack formed to the likeness of Phil Keoghan being hung in effigy. So the team dressed Mr. Keoghan up as a girl and gave him the name of Chuay Girl. Actually, she looks more like someone I used to date in high school (Tricia, if you reading this, hey girl).

R-CHALLENGE: New Tribe Member � Bananas and a special surprise...

Each tribe must race around an obstacle course of an island while carrying the weight of their new member. First tribe to make it around the island wins. Sook Jai didn�t really work together, but lucky enough for them that Ghandia pulled back on the dummy while the contingency of the Chuay Gahn fell not more than six times. Sook Jai comes with the victory, a stack of potassium for a danged long time, and a surprise... Mark Burnett Brand Egg Laying Chickens (rooster included).

Back at camp, the guys got wet looking for food, while the ladies got hot in the �kitchen�. With Ghandia in the forefront, they speculated that they were off looking for food and playing the Blame Game, which is strange considering that it was cancelled in favor of another half-hour of TRL. But that�s another network.

Jan thinks that she�s going all the work with the tribe. "I am starting to feel tension with the work load. The men aren't pulling their weight or offering �can I help do something?�" Ghandia, being the strategist she is... yeah right, added fuel to the fire, saying that she is �getting tired of us doing all the work and preparing food. I have a husband at home. I didn't come here to acquire three more." Brian gave a testimony to the situation that would make a feminist cringe: "I think that it's the natural transition in life: ladies in the kitchen and the men take care of business and do all the fishing. That resorts back to thousands and thousands of years." After which he searches for someone to wash his soiled undies. The search continues.

Night 11: The Great Divide, part 2.

�We really have split into a men�s-women�s group,� Helen notes. You have the men who are meatheaded, and the women who are hotheaded. Leading into the challenge the next morning.

Day 12: I-CHALLENGE: Tangram

Webster�s defines a tangram as a Chinese puzzle made by cutting a square of thin material into five triangles, a square, and a rhomboid which are capable of being recombined in many different figures. Here, you�ll only need to reconfigure two: a torch and the Tribal Council temple. First to do that takes the Green Lady home. This time, it�s Sook-Jai with the win. Jeff puts together the puzzle for the Chuay Gahn and basically says see you at the second puzzle.

Before the Temple , though, let�s see who�s on the Chopping-Block-Of-Love. First, Ghandia. No one likes her; she even said so herself. Then there�s Ted, Clay, or Brian, for no other reason than being a man. Ghandia spares Ted not for physical prowess, but for picking off Clay. So she plays politics with Helen and Jan. Helen finds herself in the unfortunate position as el swing vote.

Night 12: Tribal Council

Ted thinks that every Tribal is a pain. Clay�s hungry as hell, tired as hell, and basically hellish as hell. Helen ... well, let�s just say she worries a lot. We couldn�t understand what the heck she was saying. Ghandia just flat out says that not everyone is pulling their own weight, quick glance at a defensive Clay. Jan�s take is one of division. Let�s vote before Helen starts talking again.

Ted: G(HANDIA) � �You blew up an issue, waaaay beyond the scope of this game. For that reason, this vote is personal. And I truly truly hope I NEVER see you in my life again.�

Jan: CLAY.

Clay: �Play cat and mouse, You didn�t do too good at it. You just got busted, so ... �Bye bye, Denver Diva�.�

Brian: G(H)ANDIA

Ghandia: CLAY � It�s between you and me tonight, so... let the best person win.

True that. 2-2 Ghandia. But...

Jeff: �For the first time, I have a vote and I have no idea who this belongs to. �Bye Bye Denver Diva�� (As if you didn�t know already, Probst. �C) Clay admits to his voting Ghandia off. So now the count is three to two. The final vote is Helen�s...

GHANDIA.

So the Denver Diva gets votes from the Durham Ding-Dong, Bayou Billy, the Tampa Teacher, and Rhode Island Rosie the Riveter.

Jeff: �Enough with the nicknames.�

Alright, alright. Ghandia, THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN.
