STORM AT TRIBAL COUNCIL: KIMMI VOTED OUT
February 22, 2001

With a fierce rainstorm pounding upon them, the Kucha tribe ousted Kimmi Kappenberg, the 28-year-old vegetarian bartender from Long Island, New York, in a unanimous six-to-one vote. A vegetarian for 14 years, Kimmi found it hard to avoid an emotional attachment to the tribe's principal food source of the past several days, the chickens they had won in a reward challenge. Kimmi's effort to convince her tribemates not to eat the chickens daily angered Alicia Calaway, the personal trainer from New York City, causing an all-out finger-pointing confrontation between the two. Shortly after her removal from the tribe, Kimmi acknowledged, "I knew for a long time that my head was on the chopping block. This wasn't a surprise at all. Alicia and I didn't get along from day one."

Day 13: Strategies Change

As the Ogakor tribe awoke, the wildfires continued to burn out of control. The air was thick with smoke. But Jerri had a bigger concern: As a result of Colby's defection from her alliance, ultimately causing her friend Mitchell to be voted out of the tribe, Jerri realized that "our little group of common voters has been busted up. It's a whole new ball game now."

Confiding in her other friend Amber, the 23-year-old administrative assistant from Beaver, Pennsylvania, Jerri reiterated the importance of getting Colby back on their side. Said Amber, "We are kind of all fighting over Colby." Later that morning, Jerri made it clear to Colby that his voting strategy was not to her liking and reminded him that it was basically the end of any alliance. Said Colby, "Jerri, I don't care about that stage of the game right now. The only thing I care about is doing anything I can to win the next two immunity challenges, and that's the only thing I can focus on right now." (
