Survivor: Samoa - Yasmin voted off (8-2)

This episode started with Russell H. upset with Jaison, who got his way over getting Ben out. Natalie feels secure with her alliance wth Russell H. and is sure she thinks she has a chance to beat him. That might happen, if the jury is extremely bitter. Russell says Natalie may be one of the best allies for him. I think it could be the best thing for Russell, too, because Natalie is just so far under the radar. At Galu, Shambo shares the HII clues with Erik and Joh. Erik is now HII Hungry.

Next there was a reward challenge with a twist: Jeff Probst wasn't there waiting to narrate the observations of the challenge. The Survivors, Russell H, Mick, and Natalie, or I think it was Natalie, from Foa Foa and Russell H., Shambo, and Dave from Galu compete in a bocce type game. The Galu tribe won, earning chickens.

Back at the Galu tribe, Erik has everyone working, or napping, as he goes and seatrches for the second idol he finds. Therefore, Russell H. & Erik are HII holders. Then, Shambo decides to make friends with the chickens. At Foa Foa, Jaison continues saying it's cold, and he's been so cold, and claims Survivor may be the biggest regret ever. Back at Galu, Shambo lets the chicken out, and some of the survivors end up chasing it. The Survivors are also tired of Shambo, and are considering voting her out more and more.

In the immunity challenge, the tribes had to carry blocks and stack blocks, then get across a narrow rope bridge and stack more blocks. The first tribe to finish would win. Galu kept a lead throughout most of the challenge, until Foa Foa made a comeback, tying it up. It was Foa Foa who turned their luck around and won, earning immunity for the first time.

At Galu, there were two people the tribe mates were putting on the bubble. Yasmin for her poor work ethics around camp, and Monica for her poor performance during the immunity challenge. Russell S. wanted to make sure Monica was voted off, but a group of the Galu tribe mates were talking about voting Yasmin out. At Triblal Council, the tribe mates favored the work ethics that Yasmin didn't have, and she want voted off.

Here is a few words about the Survivors remaning:
Ashley: Not really seen much this episode, but may still have potential
Brett: Four episodes and still no confessionals, he would be lucky to make it far.
Dave: Probably the most neutral Survivor here.
Liz: Most invisible this week, but judging on next week's previews, it isn't looking good.
Erik: Has strong potential, and could be backbone to Galu.
Jaison: Is losing it, and is easily slipping way off.
John: I think he could be a potential rival for Erik, and could do some damage.
Kelly: Well, at least we can sit in a conversation about strategy?
Laura: I probably trying to play a decent social game.
Mick: Foa Foa's only hope, give or take Russell or Ashley.
Monica: Weak, got spared, and doesn't look like things could work out.
Natalie: Like All Star Amber, Dumb, under good coat-tails (Russell H.), and may win this whole thing (if facing a bitter jury).
Russell H.: Would be okay, if I ever get past the Hurricane Katrina hoax.
Russell S.: A horrible leader, I mean, what happened to "pleasing the majority?"
Shambo: Playing a pitiful social game, but is still more valuable than Monica.

Next week boot prediction: There are many people who could be the next to go. At Foa Foa, it looks like Russell H. will have complete say again, but could go any way, and vote for either Ashley (his first plan), Jaison (becuase he irritates him), or Liz (judging by previews, unless Russell decides to convince Liz to stage something). At Galu, it could be Shambo (If Erik gets his way), Monica (if she's continuing to be weak), or Russell S. (if the tribe thinks he's a horrible leader). Since I want to pick one, I'll go with Jaison.

LLNMD:
Love: Laura, Mick,
