We may be the best tribe and the worst tribe to ever grace Survivor.

I don't think I've ever seen a team as focused or as set in terms of food and shelter this far in the game as us men. I've never seen a team that well off after three episodes.

I've also never seen a team as pathetic in challenges as we have. Heck, even the pagonged teams have won more than we have at this point.

Three episodes. 5 Challenges. Only One Lousy Challenge Won.

So it comes down to this - we have alrerady lost 2 guys. We REALLY need to win an immunity challenge, and soon, or else the women will move in and take our nice trapezoid hut and we will go down as the most embarrassing tribe EVER.

Day 10 - We open up our camp with a fishing trip. Dave, Butch and Matthew in a boat. We are starting to realize that we are not taking advantage of the most available resource on this island - the fish. We need better bait. Dave decides to be the poet laureate.

'There once were three guys in a boat
Left early with spirite afloat
looking for bass
We sat on our ass,
(with) Luck as good as Rob's Jokes'

That could be better than most of the rhymes on the tree mail.

We are looking for worms, and Matt realizes that his alliance with Ryan (gone) and Dan (gone) makes him the next worm on the hook of Tambaqui. He is convinced that unless he forges some relationships with some of the other guys (and soon) then he will be the next person thrown into the pool of suck.

Day 11 - The hawk is flying. Matt is fishing. 'I know no one can challenge my contributions to the camp' He is the cook and the food provider - what he lacks in in allies he more than makes up for in food skills. Don't forget that Rich Hatch provided the food - and look at where it got him. Matt gets a peacock trout, and he hopes that the momentum carries us through a challenge.

Speaking of which - here comes the reward challenge. This one is easy - build a fire big enough to burn four ropes. When the ropes are cut, the banners of our tribe s released. The first team to burn all four ropes and complete their banner wins the challenge.

They reward is a fully functioning refrigerator witjh (wait for the pkug here) COKE!!!!! Not as offensive as earlier product placements.

So what happens is...should I even bother saying what happens? It's a frigging reward challenge - we know what that means. The women take the early lead, we come back to make a game out of it, but the women prevail, right? Wrong. We actually come back to take the lead, and we FINALLY win a reward challenge. We celebrate by downing the Coke. What a nice way to celebrate. Tombaqui Tombaqui TOmbaqui Rocks!

'The reward challenge was a turning point for the Tombaqui Tribe' says Dave, as we come back to see our new fridge waiting for us. 23 cans of coke - and Butch reads whats in it. And to go with the Coke, Matt brins the big fish over to be eaten. Matt eats the fish's eyes. 'There;s no I in team, but there is one in Matt's mouth. 'This is the perfect day in Survivor. Everything floated our way' says Dave. And to top it off, Rob does some Karaoke for us. Ok, we could have lived without experiencing that, but we end the day singing 'You've Lost that Loving Feeling.'. Hopefully, we won't be losing that winning feeling when it comes to the Immunity Challenge.

Things are so pleasant that we don't even hear a peep out of Roger. Oh wait, cancel that. 'Rob has got to be the most enthusaistic kid I've ever seen...but hes also the most pathetic...24 years old and singing Karaoke in his basement.' Thank you, Roger.

Rise and shine before the sun
it will be 430 am for everyone
Get in your canoe
You've fishing to do
Fail and your tribe can be done.

We get a rubber pirahna next to the clue. I have a feeling that we are not just fishing for compliments. We get 1 hour to catch as many fish as we can. The most common fish? The pirahna. They have very sharp teeth and if we;re not careful, they can bit our fingers off. We get places within 50 yards of each other. The team with the most amount of fish by weight not only wins immunity, but also wins all of the fish that they caught. Sweet.

Uncle Jeffy comes to talk to us, and we say that we are very concerned about the women - as we should be. We do continue to work hard to grab the fish until the hour is done. We put our fish down and Jeff releases the scale - and the scale tilts in our favor. It's a lock for us, and I have another limerick.

We are the mighty Tombaqui Tribe
And we finally have a good vibe
We've got coke in the fridge
And some barbecued fish
So we've figured out how to Survive!

At least until next episode...
