JESSIE CAMACHO VOTED OUT (Continued)
Day 4-- Division of Labor
 Awaking sore after sleeping on the uneven ground, the Samburu tribe went to work rebuilding the roof to their manyatta hut to help shade them from the intense heat during the day. Frank took the initiative once again, as he barked out orders to Lindsey, the 27-year-old advertising executive from Portland, Oregon. Lindsey mockingly agreed with him by rolling her eyes, whispering, "Yes, Captain." She later described Frank as "an interesting character, but really for the military. He barks out orders and wants things to be done right now, his way." As the elder Samburu tribe members went to work rebuilding the hut, the younger tribe members--Brandon, Lindsey and Kim--stood by, hesitant to help. Aware of the obvious division of labor and reluctance to lend a hand, Brandon Quinton, the 25-year-old bartender from Dallas, Texas, clarified the situation, stating, "We are almost like two completely different teams. For some reason, our camp is split right down the middle by age." ( Carl on division of labor )
Reward Challenge--Stairway to the Stars
The two tribes met host Jeff Probst at the Reward Challenge site, called Buffalo Swamp, where he explained the rules of "Stairway to the Stars": Each tribe has five logs. The goal is to transport the five logs from the start position through a series of obstacles to a tower, where they must build a staircase. The first tribe to successfully build the staircase and have one member race to the top of the tower wins. The reward consisted of all the items that were left behind on day one, including blankets, water containers and food.
 Carrying the heaviest logs first, the tribes raced through the difficult terrain as one by one, they placed the giant logs into the peg holes of the tower. Unable to finish unless all members were across the line, Boran fell short of victory because they had to wait for Kim Johnson, the 57-year-old retired school teacher, to pick herself up after falling to the ground. Samburu won the Reward Challenge when Kim Powers climbed to the top, raising her arms in victory.
Returning to camp, Kim Johnson apologized to her tribe for stumbling and losing the challenge for them. She couldn't help feeling vulnerable, exclaiming, "Falling down in the challenge, and all things being equal among us, it's a reason to vote me off." ( Action at the Reward Challenge )
