Night 3: All I hear is bitch, bitch, bitch.

"My biggest concern is sleep deprivation. We had one or two hours a night, total!" Andrew notes. And tonight is no exception. After coming home from voting out Nicole the Braless, all is quite unsettled at the Morgan camp. You think sleeping on bamboo skewers will keep you awake? No, my friend. Sleeping on bamboo skewers while weathering the chilly nights? Easily doable. But here's the rub, people. Sleeping with this lot will keep you awake. If Tijuana isn't complaining about the cold, then Osten is. Easy solution, Andy... You want to sleep? Shut those two up.

Day 4: Treasure mail.

"Stormy weather ran ships aground.
Many fortunes were lost; a few, they were found.
Salvage the quickest, silver and gold,
You'll then be rewarded like pirates of old."

Ah, the first reward challenge. But Cryin' Man Ryan's not really in a celebratory mood, as he thinks that the weight of the challenge is crushing his shoulders. Well since his surname is Shoulders, that would only stem from logic.

R-CHALLENGE: Bountiful Chest (one piece of treasure map; one free pilfer from the opposing tribe's camp).

Simple challenge: recover five sunken treasures in a sunken treasure chest. Recover the chest to win rewards: a third of your treasure map (for which both tribes are given a key and a shovel to recover) and a free loot from the opposing tribe's camp, the latter of which will be a mainstay in future tribal reward challenges.

In the time it takes for Cryin' Man to recover one piece of booty, the Drake tribe recovers the entire chestload to win.

Later that day...

While self-proclaimed king of the universe Andrew complains that the Morganites are just getting by, Sandra from Drake comes over to Morgan Island for her free piece of booty. Cryin' Man greets her with open arms. But that's only one of seven pairs outstretched. Sandra gets to survey what would only pass for a camp in a biblical sense, looking for a water jug. "They just didn't have anything." After exaggerating on the Drake's bounty at the market in the last episode (well, not exactly), she eyes the tarp. Andrew says that if she wants it, she'll have to take it. You tell'm, yo. She asked for a knife, but Tijuana gets all ghetto ... again. Darrah gets her 14.4 seconds of screen time, just enough for her to call the whole of Drake "a bunch of bull(^_^)".

"Well, you guys sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite, no hard feelings and, uhh... you guys take care, alright?" That was just right from the heart, Sandra. No, really.

So the tribe gets to repair the shanty, when Osten launches into his latest tirade, captioned for your ease: "After we get through building the shelter, I might decide to leave. I'm just going to be honest with you right now... I'm spent right now." And, of course, it wouldn't be Morgan if Andrew didn't throw around his 34 cents. "We don't need people just walking around 'I want, I wanna go home.' It's a real morale-killer for the tribe." Even Tijuana can't stop Osten from being a hypochondriac with this whole pneumonia. It's time for an educational moment: pneumonia is caused by S. pneumoniae, a bacteria. Unless one of your tribesmen has it, chances are you will not get it. Of course, Osten doesn't figure this out right away, because he's Osten and he's just a whiny bitch like that.

Day 5: I-CHALLENGE: All Tied Up

Three tribesmen are tied to a raft that is being pulled out to sea via pulley from four of the other squad. Once they get untied, they have to retrieve both the rope and a set of directions to use in a circle on the beach. The coordinates lead to a treasure hidden below: a tribal flag and immunity.

Once again, the Morgan take a lead and screw it up with an ill-fated attempt to disengage the directions. By the time they get to digging, it's too late, as Morgan is headed to yet another Tribal Council.

Day 6: Quitter and Goober.

As Andrew has a huddle of one, Osten gets with Cryin' Ryan to ask him to vote him out. Ryan once again lets his heart speak for his brain, saying that "the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. You gotta have your whole heart in this, and it doesn't seem like he has it. I mean, it's day six!" While Osten wrangles his alliance of the willing, Andrew notes that his physical strength is an asset, as does Lill, who sees him on the beach throwing the ball around. You know what they say, half of the game is 90% mental. Tijuana is equally as disappointed in Osten. Osten hikes up his tube top and head to Tribal with the others. At this point, it's physical strength (Osten) versus mental strength (Ryan).

Night 3: Tribal Council

"Here we go again." Indeed, Jeff. So what's become of the tribe? Andrew says it's lack of sleep. Cryin' Man says it's lack of teamwork and focus. Andrew gets his "answer that Jeff doesn't like" moment as he is confronted with the topic of change. Lill just says they need to fish more in order to win the reward, her "answer that Jeff doesn't like" moment. Osten just lets himself go of this whole adventure thing. Lill is basing her vote on "who has contributed to the troop...I mean, tribe." Andrew bases his vote on who is the weakest link, goodbye. Sorry, dude, but that boat has LOOOOOONG since passed and you were nowhere on it. So who is one margarita short of a party?

Lill - OSTEN ("I think you're great, but you're the one who's saying that my big... burly body has shut down.")

Ryan O - RYAN S. ("You just don't have the strength for this game")

Cryin' Man - OSTEN ("You would never have gotten this vote if you didn't ask me to")

And the votes we don't, although, as you can see...

Darrah - RYAN S.

Tijuana - RYAN S.

Andrew - RYAN S.

Osten - RYAN S.

Well, THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN and Cryin' Ryan goes wee-wee-wee-wee all the way home. With five votes, you ARE the Weakest Link, g'bye.
