Day 7: Let's take a moment here.

Round 1: Nicole tried to sway everyone too early, and as a result, was voted out. Not really that much to do with anything, but still, she could've befriended everyone and saved herself.

Round 2: Cryin' Man and Lill befriend each other. End result: Cryin' Man voted out and Lill is a troop of one. As a new day begins...

Round 3: ... Lill is left to pray for the strength to survive on her own. At this point, I'd like to quote someone much wiser than I, namely Lisa Simpson: "Prayer. The last refuge of a scoundrel." Thing is, Lill is hardly a scoundrel. And then Andrew has to have his words in, because he's Andrew and he wouldn't have it any other way. Go, Andrew... Go. "Every tribemate has an obligation to the tribe that you have to check your mental infirmities at the door, get rid of those, and just suck it up and do what you need to do." Also a quote that applies to Osten, who has since sucked it up. Moral of the story: Andrew is God.

Meanwhile Tijuana comes back with treasure mail:

"Ever get that sinking feeling that you just can't stay afloat?
Is it the fault of a lazy crew, or a problem with your boat?
Can you bail out of trouble to steer the other way?
Will you get a good night's sleep? Or will possessions go away?"

To say the LEAST, a must-win for Morgan.

R-CHALLENGE: Sprung a Leak (sleep equipment, one piece of treasure map; one free pilfer from the opposing tribe's camp).

There are four ships, two for each tribe. Imbedded within each hull, there are several corks, which tribesmen will be trying to remove. Other tribesmen will have buckets trying to bail water out of their boat while flooding their opponents. Simple task: sink your opponents' two boats before flooding your own. And it doesn't help matters that Osten's boat is running scared. The Drake take this one... again.

Night 7: Can you say "tail tucked between legs?"

Once again, an easy loss stings the tribe. And so does the sleeping arrangements. "The only thing we ever complained about is... the sleeping facilities. Right now, we're doubting that we can ever win." That said by, of course, Andrew. Confidence definitely left, but how could things get any worse, you ask? Simple. Tomorrow, Lill fishes.

Day 8: Heeeeeere fishy fishy fishy...

Lill's first up in the AM, catching some fish. Or attempting to, anyway. Ryan O. is also up, and he's not happy with every tribesman doing her own thang. "She's being a little bit impatient about the whole issue of going fishing. If she waited just that little bit, I would've been willing to go with her, but next thing you know she's gone, and I wasn't too happy about it." Oh, did we mention that she lost the hook? Andrew cites improper knot ties. Big trouble if you're a scoutmaster. Leading to her head being on the block early, opposite Darrah, because hey, we can never have too little of Darrah.

Maybe they could've pulled together to find a place to hide the water pot, as Christa from Drake comes ashore as Ryan is creating a dragnet for more fish. Tijuana extends what the kids call a most cordial welcome. Despite the third, fourth, and fifth degree posed by Andrew, "I didn't tell them anything" as she collects a water pot, a hug from Tijuana, and exits stage right.

Osten learns from past experience, and talks smack about "Big Bird" after she leaves. Meanwhile, Andrew moves the tribe further away from reality, saying that overall, the Morgan are stronger because they have experienced defeat. "I can't wait to see a Drake defeat to see if they just... crumble."

And we experience... more treasure mail with the new tribal flag:

"Your flag holds tribe pride; never let it fall.
Select a firend to represent, choose the one most small.
You must also choose your strongest; on their shoulders your fate will rest.
'Pure Will' in a game of fortitude defines this final test."

All together now, "to say the least, a must-win for the Morganites."

I-CHALLENGE: Pull Your Weight

The lightest member of the tribe is hoisted by a pulley to five members of the tribe. Those five members try to pull as hard as they can, keeping their tribesman mid-air. Every five munutes, one tribesman is relieved of their duties until one is left. First player to touch water is off to Tribal. After 20 minues, it's down to Osten and Hagrid. Two hours, and two positions later (from sitting to leaning to full-on standing), Osten's had enough. He lets go, meaning that the tribe is sent to Tribal... again.

Day 9: The first alliance rises...

Andrew commends Osten for lasting as long as they did. Meanwhile, the two... and Ryan and Tijuana decided that (and by that, I mean Andrew decided and everyone just said "Okay") that "the person that is least valuable to the tribe is the one who should go tonight. And whoever that is shouldn't have any problem with it." On one hand, Darrah hasn't really put her all into the tribe (or the series for that matter). Lillian does her best (singing), "but I guess her best wasn't good enough, because Lord knows we ain't going anywhere."

Night 9: Tribal Council

Comic Book Guy moment: Worst... tribe... EVER. Unity and work ethic are lauded all around, but the fact is fact, it hasn't resulted in a W. And now, another Morgan is getting the J.

Darrah: LILL - "You're a great woman, a hard worker."

Lill: DAR(r)A(h) - "You're like the Mississippi Belle. You're very fragile. No hard feelings."

Andrew: (hidden) - "This is totally based upon a strategy. We'll see if it works."

Getting to the other three:

Tijuana: LILL

Ryan: LILL

Osten: LILL

And Andrew's vote, not that it mattered anyway, was LILL. With four votes, Lillian, THE TROOP HAS SPOKEN. Jeff proceeds with the snuffing, but the game spirits ain't having it. But technically, they are, as Jeff is one of the producers now and he calls a Mulligan. Damn you.
