A MISERABLE TRIBE
 "We are horrible campers, we are terrible outdoorsmen, we are starving!" exclaimed Shii Ann Huang, the 28-year-old executive recruiter from New York City, describing the depressed mood at Camp. Having won a 30-meter fishing net in a previous Reward Challenge, the hungry Sook Jai tribe set out to catch fish. With blister-covered feet, Jake Billingsley, the 61-year-old land broker from McKinney, Texas, explained, "We got the net in the Challenge, and we don't really know how to work it." After numerous attempts, the tribe managed to catch only one tiny fish.
 Frustrated and hungry while picking at the fish bones, a sarcastic Robb Zbacnik, the 23-year-old bartender from Scottsdale, Arizona, stated, "It's kind of strange to be out here and see where all the fish comes from at home, but not being able to get it." ( Sook Jai attempts to catch fish )
REWARD CHALLENGE: PILFERING PIRATES
Both tribes met host Jeff Probst at the Reward Challenge, where he explained the rules. The tribes would have to race along a narrow bamboo course over water. At the center of the course was a "Contact Zone" where the Survivors could physically knock each other off the course. At the end of the course were two boats, one for each tribe, filled with baskets. Their goal was to negotiate the course, steal a basket from the opposing team's boat and return it to their own team's starting boat. First tribe to steal ten baskets would win. The Reward: two Thai Red Beret Special Forces Soldiers, who would help improve living conditions back at camp for twenty-four hours.
 As the two tribes ran across the course, Robb Zbacnik of Sook Jai was disqualified as he met Clay Jordan of Chuay Gahn in the attack zone and tossed Clay off the platform by his neck. Sook Jai's early lead began to diminish and swing in Chuay Gahn's favor as Sook Jai incurred several penalties for attacking outside the attack zone, losing one basket for each infraction. The competition heated up as tempers flared. Ultimately, it was Ted Rogers' immense size that helped topple Sook Jai's efforts as Chuay Gahn reached their ten-basket mark and took home their first victory.
