BATTLE OF THE SEXES: RYAN AIKEN VOTED OUT OF THE TRIBE

TAMBAQUI AND JABURU ARRIVE AT CAMP

Male bonding?After arriving at camp and sifting through their meager supply chest, the men of Tambaqui held a quick meeting. "The bottom line is that a lot of the girls would be great eye candy, but when it comes down to it, we want people who are going to be useful. If we lose to the girls, it's going to be rough, really rough," remarked Ryan. Realizing that fire and shelter were priorities, they quickly set out to establish camp.

Insert tab A into slot B?The men vehemently questioned the women's ability to match their expert survival skills. Butch Lockley, the 50-year old middle school principal from Olney, Illinois, introduced his luxury item to his tribemates: a giant banner reading, "Believe in Yourself." "I think as a whole we have gotten along very well, but I think that the women have got to be having a very difficult time. I don't think they ever thought they would be doing this on estrogen alone over there in the camp of the 'vagina monologue,'" explained Rob Cesternino, the 24-year-old computer projects coordinator from Wantagh, New York.

A REVEALING MOMENT

Jaburu builds their shelterMeanwhile, as the women of Jaburu arrived at their camp, Christy Smith, the 24-year-old children adventure guide from Basalt, Colorado, gathered her new tribemates together to reveal that she is deaf. "I needed to get if off my chest. I couldn't keep it in any longer," Christy explained. After a short introduction, the women struggled to start a fire, and tensions soon arose. "Deena--she definitely has more of a bossy side to her," commented Heidi Strobel, the 24-year-old gym teacher from Buffalo, Missouri. As the sun set, the women were still struggling to acclimate to their new surroundings. Jeanne Hebert, the 41-year-old marketing director from North Attleboro, Massachusetts, optimistically exclaimed, "It's okay, we are Amazon women, and we'll make it. We will toughen up and make it through to the end and kick the guys' butts."

What's next?However, everyone didn't share the same sentiment. Christy's frustrations mounted as she tearfully explained, "as soon as it gets dark, that's where my communication breaks down, because I can't see to read their lips. I am missing out on a lot of information. I am totally different from them, but this always happens, and I am at a big disadvantage."
