Could it be? Could I actually have someone from my tribe win this game? Maybe so, as the tribe...well, we're pretty much sleeping - except for Lil, who is an honorary Drake from 'I usually have regrets when stabbing someone in the back. This time, I stood up for myself...it was nice.' Rupert agrees - and tells her that she'd be the last Morgan standing.

Conversely, one tribe happy is another tribe unhappy, 'Tribal council sucked.' said Ryan, 'I'm basically next on the chopping block, and it sucks.' He speaks the head butcher, Burton, who tries to remind him that Drake voted him out before - and he talks alliance with him. He tells Burton that he can get an alliance with him, Tijuana, Darrah, Burton and Lil - if Burton can get Lil - since he tells Burton that they have a good alliance going. But will Ryan backstab him like Lil has backstabbed the Morgans?

While Burton is pondering that, he is also pondering getting some aquatic food - and he nets a stingray. 'These thinks don't have electric shocks, dude, do they?' says Ryan. RUpert says no, but they do - and he gives Ryan and Rupert a charge. The survivors eventually win, though, and the stingray is on the menu. Rupert is glad that they can eat, because 'Their bodies have been emaciated...that's sad.'

But some of them will be happy, after the individual awards. This is a shooting challenge - people use slingshots to hit plates from bottom to top. BY hitting them fro the bottom to top, they are relaying a torch with fire to go up to a barrel, which ignites and lights off sparks. If you hit the plates from bottom to top, you light up the torch - and whoever can do that first wins. They are playing for breakfast - n breakfast consists of any morning eating item that they want.

The people draw numbers for position in the first round - and Sandra, Ryan and Darrah are in the first heat. Ryan, despite having to hit one plate 3 times, gets to the top and he advances to the finals. The second heat is Jon, Rupert and Burton. Jon hits his target out of order - and is out. 'ANother challenge that Jon cannot finish' says a snide Jeff Probst. Ouch. Rupert hits all three plates in 3 shots and he moves on to the finals. The final heat has Lil, Christa and Tijuana - and Lil moves on to the finals.

We see Lil, Rupert and Ryan competing for breakfast. After 2 shots, Lil hits the first 2. Rupert calmly comes back and hits the next 3 targets for the reward win. Jeff tells him that he has the option of picking someone to eat breakfast with - or giving someone else the opportunity to have breakfast and picking someone to eat with them. Rupert decides to give it to the person who gave him immunity - Burton. AwwwwBarf. Then Burton, under the advisement of almost everyone there, gives the honor of having Lillian, who came sooo close to winning it herself, join him for breakfast. AwwwwwBlech.

Burton, on the next morning, us acting Drake - but he's full of it - he wants to win it for the Outcasts. 'I have no loyalty whatsoever to Drake' says Burton, who will not ally with Rupert, Sandra or Christa. So he allies with his only friend - Johnny Fairplay. They want to get rid of Rupert - and they know they have to blindside him. 'Irony plays such a funny part of the game' says Jon, who realizes that they were at each others throats earlier on in the game.

The problem for Jon is that Burton has an even stronger alliance - with Lillian, who is more than eager to get rid of Rupert, or her own tribemates - or anyone. They talk strategy as they eat breakfast at the top of a gazebo. They feast on food - and toast to the Outcasts. She believes in Burton - and she believes in the plan to immediately get rid of Rupert. They talk about Lil being friends with Christa and Sandra - and finding out what they're plan is.

Speaking of which - we see the 2 women planning - to get rid of Rupert??? I guess so - and then get rid of Burton. They want an all-girly alliance. 'Burton and Rupert are the only ones to catch food from the ocean for us.', so they talk about how they will get food when all of the big strong guys are gone. They talk to Tijuana and Darrah about possibly doing the girly alliance. Hmmmm...

Burton and Lillian get done with their strategy, and Lillian only wants Burton to make sure that she is not portrayed as a bitch. Meanwhile, the oblivious Rupert is doing some carpentry, Christa is helping with Rupert with the fish, and the Morgans are, well, doing nothing. The Drakes are complaining about the Morgan lack of work habits, while the Morgans are complaining that the Drakes work all the time. Can't we all get along?

One person will be complaining less, as we get to the immunity challenge. You have to answer questions, and with each right answer, you can fill someone's ledge with a coconut. If your trough is filled with coconuts, you are out of the game. In the first question, all of the coconuts go to Ryan. Well, we see who is going to be knocked out tonight.

In 2 questions, he is knocked out of the game - and Darrah quickly joins him. Tijuana is third. Lil starts to put coconuts in Burton's trough - but she is playing strategy and doesn't want to know about the alliance. Burton gets wiped out. Sandra finally gets one coconut in Rupert's trough - after half of the people have been wiped out. When the smoke clears, its Rupert and Christa, and Rupert deals the final coconut to Christa. Rupert wins immunity, and for people who wanted Rupert out of the game, they really didn't do a good job of doing anything about it.

They did, however, set up someone who has no alliances to anyone - Ryan. He is still trying to make a last second deal - but the only person he can segway out - Rupert - has won immunity. 'I'm not a pessimist, but you get to much crap, and it keeps hammering you...it will take a minor miracle to get back into this.' That, or Mark Burnett giving in another provision for booted jury people to come back. Ryan tries to talk to the women, but they are already prepared to sacrifice the goat. Rupert calls Ryan, 'One of the leaders of the weak', and reminds Jon that he can still take 4 other people and roll over everyone.

They are all planning on getting rid of Rupert - but the women don't realize that Jon and Burton will be getting rid of them right after Rupert - the problem is (and this has been the theme of the show) everyone is thinking too far ahead in the game - before the women get rid of Rupert, they better make sure that they have the numbers - and right now, they don't.

But Chico will get to next week, next week. This week, we have the tribal council. We talk about the differences in work habits - and Rupert is saying how everyone - including him - needs to improve. Burton feeds everyone a line about how much better the Drake tribe is, and voting has started. In probably one of the more anti-climactic votes, (with the exception of Ryan calling Christa a b#tch), Ryan is voted out 8-1.

Chico carries the torch next week - and we get to see if Rupert can smell the aroma of the stew that he is about to be boiled in.
