TWO TRIBAL COUNCILS: ANGIE & WILLARD OUSTED
In an episode with many twists and turns, both tribes of SURVIVOR: PALAU were forced to endure Tribal Council and two Survivors were voted out: Willard Smith, the 57-year-old lawyer from Bellevue, Washington and Angie Jakusz, the 24-year-old bartender from New Orleans, Louisiana. Undefeated in Immunity Challenges, the still-full Koror tribe used their first Tribal Council to vote out Willard in a unanimous decision. Because of his age, Willard had difficulty in Challenges and in helping around camp, so his tribe chose him to be the first member voted out. After the his torch was snuffed, Willard admitted, "I surprised myself out here by not being quite as strong as I expected to be. I think the tribe as a whole are good people, by and large."

After suffering another defeat, the depleted Ulong tribe had to endure yet another brutal Tribal Council. On the chopping block for singlehandedly losing the Reward Challenge, Ibrehem Rahman, the 27-year-old waiter from Birmingham, Alabama, received a shocking reprieve when Koror granted him Immunity in a last-minute twist of fate. With Ibrehem off the block, the remaining members of Ulong found themselves deadlocked in a tie between Angie and Bobby Jon Drinkard, the 27-year-old waiter from Troy, Alabama. After the required second vote, team Ulong finally chose to send home Angie. Shortly after Tribal Council, Angie let it be known, "It was a different and refreshing experience. All those little things in life, never going to take that for granted ever again."
