So last episode was a mighty good one for us. We got ourselves some chickens, and we avoided tribal council. But we also got to hear that phrase, 'Be careful what you wish for - because we were woken up at some bizarre hour of the night with those same chickens cackling and cock-a-doddle-dooing. So Penny and Jake decide that they would rather have them making noises n their stomachs than their ears - and one of the chickens turn into breakfast.

This morning we have a little chicken barbecue. We all thought that it was the best chicken barbecue that we ever had - but we also haven't eaten anything in over a week, so we think that chicken heart is pRobbably a delicacy - and actually, Shii Ann thinks that. According to her family, the parts of a chicken that we don't think about - heart, liver, etc. - are actually delicious. The team is grossed out, but they accept it - they're also grossed out, however of Shii Ann's lack of eating hygiene - that may be a cultural thing, but that gets people on their nerves - and gets a little target on your back.

So it's time to do a little-after chicken swimming - and whiles we're standing there, Robb screams and falls into the water. 'That's nothing unusual for Robb, so we really didn't think much about it early' you're all heart, Jake. It looks like he got stung by a sting ray, and while everyone's trying to help Robb (heck, even Shii Ann is trying to comfort him), Robb shows us his maturity level - zero. "I wanted to say 'How the f$^& would you know. Shut up and get me some water'." And you wonder why you're not in the major group of five, Robb?

Mail Time! We get $1,000 bucks! And a note -
A pool of money, lots to eat
It's time to haggle, prep to compete
Know when to bid, know when to hold
Food in your belly, better than gold

Sounds like an auction to me - and it's an auction for food. Uncle Jeffy has on offer - Does anyone want to switch tribes? 60 seconds to decide - and none of our tribe wants to move. And no one over there wants to move either. Shii Ann and Stephanie were thinking about going - but they don't, and everyone stands pat. By the end of this episode, we'll see that someone pRobbably should have made the move, and if it was our tribe, the someone pRobbably should have been Stephanie or Robb.

Let the auction begin!

First item - Hamburger, fries, and toppings. We win it at $120
Amount Left - Sook Jai - $880, Chuay Gahn, $1,000

Second Item - Pitcher of Lime-Aid. We let them have it at $20
Amount Left - Sook Jai - $880, Chuay Gahn - $980

Third Item - Mystery Item #1 - We've already eaten the burger. And we get it for $80. We get in return a bowl of baked, seasoned...grubs. stephanie and Shii Ann taste it. 'It tastes like mushrooms', says Shii Ann. This from someone who enjoys chicken heart and livers, but at the end, we all chow down on it.
Amount Left - Sook Jai - $800, Chuay Gahn - $980

Fourth Item - Spaghetti and Meatballs - Chuay Gahn gets it for $400
Amount Left - Sook Jai - $800, Chuay Gahn - $580

Fifth Item - Mystery Item #2 - We spend $200 for it - No grubs this time - it's a hot fudge Sundae! That goes quick, too as we eagerly await the next item.
Amount Left - Sook Jai - $600, Chuay Gahn - $580

Sixth item - Nachos - and something else that goes with it - Chuay Gahn gets it for $300 - and margaritas to go with it.

That ends the auction - but we got ice cream, and a hamburger - and fried grubs. MMMM Yummy.

We get a quiet interlude about how Stephanie is starting to fit in with the rest of the tribe. This is obviously a Mark Burnett ploy, and pretty much targets her for expulsion if we get to tribal council again.

And speaking of the immunity challenge - here's the tree mail for it -
There is a place for everything, and everything has it's place,
on the islands, it's a way of life, for you it's just a race.
They do it every day, this is how fisherman survive
Sort it out before the others and keep your tribe alive.

The immunity challenge is set up this way. There is a vat of four types of fish - Barramundi, Trivali, Squid and Silverfish. We have to organize the fish into four smaller bins, one vat for each fish. The first team to sort all of the fish correctly wins the immunity idol. We sit out Erin and Ken.

This is one that requires brains, so we're in the hole early. They also want this more, to the point that they are sticking fish in the mouths and all other parts of their body (ewwwww). They get it done much quicker than we do, and in an immunity race that they had to win, they did. We get to go back for our second trip to tribal council.

We're now down to a majority of five and a minority of two - Steph and Robb. 'I would have had a better chance over there and I think I would have had more fun over there. I feel like Im wrong, but I feel like Im next.' says Stephanie. You are.

Shii Ann is down, because they think that people are plotting against her - and two of them are. And she realizes how culturally different that she is from everyone else. But Jake reassures her that she is not getting voted off tonight - and he's right.

Robb and Stephanie vote for Shii Ann, but the rest of the tribe can't forget - or forgive - the pain in the keister that Stephanie was the first week, and how she and Jed and Robb alienated themselves from the tribe. Stephanie gets ousted in a 5-2 vote, making Robb the last person left on the small group and making him the obvious target if Sook Jai comes back to tribal council. If that occurs, then something even worse would have happened - our tribes will be even at 5-5, and the process of us picking off the other tribe will instead change to us possibly being the little silverfish that are going to be fried in a bin.
