Amplified by the pending deal between Dreamz and Yau-Man, the challenge begins. After fifteen long, dreadful minutes, Jeff increases the angle of the plank for the third time to fifty degrees. With her strength depleted, the angle is too much for Cassandra as she slips from her plank into the water. At a fifty-five degree angle and twenty minutes in, Earl falls from his plank, leaving Yau-Man and Dreamz to fight to the death. Eventually, Immunity slips through Yau-Man's hands as he falls from his plank into the pool of water. Dreamz completes the first part of his bargain with Yau-Man by winning Individual Immunity.
Just in Case
After learning three people, not two, will go on to face the jury, Earl, Cassandra and Yau-Man discuss Dreamz while he is off in the distance. "From the very beginning when we brought [Dreamz] into our alliance I think he was one of the biggest wild cards," says Yau-Man. "Now he is in control and he made a promise and it worries me very much." Informing Earl and Cassandra he intends to do the right thing, Dreamz warns them to vote out Yau-Man should he accidentally make the wrong decision. Weighing his word of honor versus a million dollars, Dreamz is tormented by the deal he made. If he keeps the Immunity necklace for himself, he could solidify his spot in the Final Three. "This is going to be one of the most difficult decisions I ever had to make over one million dollars or keeping my word."
Tribal Council: Yau-Man Pays the Price
At Tribal Council, Earl, Cassandra, Yau-Man and the jury wait with baited breath as the weight of the world is draped around Dreamz's neck. With tears falling, Dreamz whispers his intention to keep Immunity for himself, going back on his promise to Yau-Man. When the votes are cast, Yau-Man Chan, the 54-year-old computer engineer from Martinez, California, is voted out of the game, becoming the ninth and final member of the jury. "Well, sorry Dreamz, you did not see it fit to live up to your end of the bargain. Enjoy the truck. I am very surprised that Earl voted me out today; he must have his reasons for it. But I'm glad I could hold my own and to make it this far is quite an accomplishment. I'm very proud of it."
