Will we be sharks or eeels this week, I wonder. Will we be the power hungry sharks who want to win th challenges, or will we be the slippery, yet conniving eels, who will sneak our way around and shock out our strongest competitor?

But speaking of fish, at the end of last episode, we got all the pirahna that we won at the last immunity challenge. And the fish s giving us strong bones - maybe a little too strong for Alex, who nails himself in the head with a machete. Ouch. Fortunately, he only grazes himself 'I'm surprised that an injury like that hasn't happened earlier.' says Matt. 'Chicks dig scars, so maybe that will work out for the best.'

Tree mail - and some vino.
Prepare to have a little fun,
Unfortunately, for only one,
The map shows you what you're after.
Send the youngest for smoe wine and laughter.

Dave is the youngest. Rob is jealous. 'I'm angered that the golden boy falls into a little luck.' Mewo Mewo Meow.

David meets Jenna, and they both meet Uncle Jeffy. We have a little get to know you. 'You may look at this as a break from tribes. You may see this as a strategic opportunity. That's up to you.' Dave is greeted by robes, showers, and a bed, etc. They waste no time in changing into bathrobes and start eating food.

Jenna talks about her tribe - and her alliance of women. Dave talkes to her about the tribe - but not about the alliances. Rob talks about Heidi's breasts...we tak about your ass...you have a sexu ass.' Jenna is a little surprised.

Even more surprising is when they took showers and slept in the same bed to end the evening. A nice romantic bedding. This could be interesting, except there is no sex, no game planning, no nothing. booooooorrrriiiiiiing. When does Are You Hot come on?

And how was Jenna? 'She didn't kick, she didn't bite, she didn't snore.' And both David and Jenna are greeted with a breakfast feast. They are also greeted by Uncle Jeffy. 'We pretty much know everything about each other tribes now.'

It's a good thing, because Uncle Jeffy brings tiles of people over and the people have to make up new teams. Oh how the game changes now. Dave picks Heidi. Jenna takes Alex. Dave keeps Butch and Jenna keeps Deena. Dave takes Christy and keeps Roger Jenna keeps Shawna and adds Matt. So here are the new tribes -
The New Tombaqui -
David
Butch
Roger
Heidi
Jeanne
Christie

The New Jubaru -
Jenna
Deena
Shawna
Matt
Alex
Rob


Dave comes back and breaks the news - and he did it out of strategy. 'I was very mad when I found out that my fate would be determined by Dave. He cares about himself and Roger and Butch.' that comes from Rob, and I have a feeling that we are not done with this one...

'I never guessed that she was deaf.' says Roger about Christy, when our new tribe gets together.

The change has definately done our tribe a world of good. We seem to be a very well knit team. Christy talks about how much happier she is here and how the team goes out of their way to help her. Awwwwwwwbarf.

But will everyone be so kind if we lose immunity? We get the tree mail, which isn't a silly poem this time around. 'Paddle, Practice, Immunity, Brawn and Animals' are circled in a jumble. 'I'm very plased with Dave's selection' says Roger 'We have three very strong women...I feel very confident.'

The immunity challenge is a 2 part challenge. There are ten animals - five of which are in a word search. The first part is to get 5 if the animals in the word search. The second part is to get the 5 flags. The team that gets them all and back first wins.

The puzzle goes pretty close - but we screw up and can't spell mosquito correctly. Jabaru gets the first flag. Jeff says that only the 5 flags that are representing the animals that they find will count. Hmmmm...does someone screw up?

So far, no. Jabaru has the first 3 flags, but we catch up. We get all 5 flags - so does Jubari. It's race to the finish, but Jabaru's quickness in completing the puzzle pays off and they get the win.

So much for the new tribew getting off to a strong start. 'This has not been a fun day, today. I did not think that we are going to tribal council today but we are - I have no idea how to vote.' The women go out on a boat and decide to vote for Butch.

Or se we think - until Dave pulls Heidi over and asks her to join their side. David picked her so that he can carry over through the merge. The guys will be voting to get rid of Jeanne, then Christy. Heidi's vote will guarantee themselves immunity. Hmmm.....

Ok, gang, it's time to go to Tribal Council. Jeff Probst asks the tough question to Heidi, and she can not lie very well. She is still thinking about the tribal issue, and all of a sudden, the other two girls are concerned - and they should be.

Everyone votes as they say that they will - and we all see them writing. We don't get to see what Heidi writes. But we don't have to. Jeanne gets 4 votes. Butch gets 2. Heidi does betray the woman and Christy knows that they better start winning immunity challenges - because she is next if they don't.

'So I guess the question is - was tonight's vote based on old tribal gender lines, or, as you guys say, the weak link in a new big happy tribe? I guess we'll find out.'

Dave's plan the whole episode is played to almost perfection. He gets the right women, and is able to manipulate one of them into joining the guys. Tombaqui once again turns into the guys tribe.
