SHANE IN PAIN
All is not fun at games, however, at the Older Men's camp, as Shane is breaking down because of the harsh elements and missing home. "I have no idea why I did this to myself. I miss my son so much, and I am thinking about all the things I am missing back home," laments a tearful Shane as he walks along the beach.
TWO TRIBES ARE BORN
The Survivors arrive to greet host Jeff Probst and are shocked to learn that the four tribes are to become two. In a schoolyard pick, one by one the two new tribes form. The new Casaya tribe consists of Danielle, Courtney, Aras, Shane, Cirie, Bobby and Melinda. The new La Mina tribe is Dan, Terry, Austin, Nick, Ruth Marie, Sally and Misty. Not being selected, Bruce is told that he is banished to Exile Island. However, there is a silver lining: he will be immune from the vote and will replace the Survivor voted out in the upcoming Tribal Council and join that tribe.
REWARD CHALLENGE: A REPTILE DYSFUNCTION
Jeff Probst explains the rules of the Reward Challenge. The two new tribes must race through an obstacle course, collecting six wooden snakes along the way. The tribes will collect two snakes at each of three stations. Each tribe must delegate one player to carry all six snakes throughout the entire course. The first tribe to cross the finish line with all their snakes wins the Reward: valuable fishing supplies.
