Suspicion

Challenges
Reward Challenge: Butch Cassidy

The Survivors must jump from a 35-foot granite cliff into a deep natural pool and swim to a floating crate anchored in the river. Once each member of the tribe reaches the crate, they must dive down and detach it from the anchor. The tribe must then maneuver the crate down river through small rapids, and carry it onto a sandy beach. The first tribe to get the crate and all tribe members across the finish line wins.

Reward: Blankets

Winner: Ogakor

Immunity Challenge: Survivor Smorgasbord

On a spinning wheel are various aboriginal delicacies, such as mangrove worms, crickets, grubs, and cow brains. Each Survivor must square off against someone from the opposing tribe, spin the wheel, and eat the item that's pointed at. If a Survivor refuses to eat, or if he or she throws up, that tribe falls behind one point. The tribe that successfully eats the most tucker, wins.

Winner: Kucha

Day 4
As the dawn of Day 4 cracks on Kucha, Mike gets up early and tries to cook some rice, but it turns out badly. This irked the rest of the tribe, who feel that preparing food should be a group decision. Later, though, Mike redeemed himself by catching fish for the tribe. Over on Ogakor, the tribe relaxes in a pool of muddy water--except for Kel, who goes off fishing alone. The rest of Ogakor is unimpressed by Kel's lack of fishing skill. Says Colby: "The guy couldn't fish a rubber ducky out of a bathtub." Meanwhile, the younger members of the tribe--Jerri, Amber, Colby, and Mitchell--have begun to bond.

Day 5
The tribes receive treemail about the reward challenge, and it tells them that they'll have to jump off a cliff into water. Rodger is worried, because he can't swim very well. At the challenge, Rodger struggles in the water, and Ogakor wins by a landslide. They earn a pair of blankets. Still, the rest of Kucha supports Rodger for trying his best. At Ogakor camp, experienced chef Keith volunteers to cook the rice, but it turns out pasty and sticky. "How could a great chef not know how to make rice?" Jerri complains. Jerri decides to do some cooking herself, and makes tortillas that the tribe loves. Jerri feels proud, but Tina feels bad for Keith for being one-upped. Keith brushes it off. "No worries, mate," he says in an Aussie accent.

Later, a controversy erupts at Ogakor when Jerri spots Kel chewing on something brown. Jerri believes it's beef jerky. She tells her tribemates, who are outraged that Kel snuck in food. While Kel is gone, Tina sneaks a peek into Kel's bag, but nothing is found. When Kel returns to camp, the tribe confronts him. Kel denies that he has beef jerky, and says that he was chewing on a blade of grass. As a peace offering, Kel offers to let the women use the razors he brought, but Jerri sees this as an admission of guilt.

Day 6
Tree Mail arrives at Kucha, explaining that the Immunity Challenge will be the dreaded Survivor Smorgasbord. Kimmi pipes up that she's a vegetarian and won't eat any meat at the challenge, to her tribemates' dismay. At the challenge, the tribes square off, one person at a time. Everyone who downs their randomly chosen food earns a point for their tribe. Through the first seven rounds, everyone is successful-except Kimmi, who refuses to eat a cow brain and costs her tribe a point. Kimmi returns to her tribe crying, disappointed that she cannot break her vegetarian beliefs. But in the final round, Ogakor's Tina can't hold down cow stomach, forcing the game into a timed tiebreaker. Each tribe gets to choose one member of the opposing tribe to participate. Unsurprisingly, Kimmi and Tina are chosen. Jeff presents them with a worm, to Kimmi's delight. Kimmi shouted, "I can eat a worm!" That she does, finishing it before Tina, and giving the Kucha tribe its first challenge win. Back at Ogakor camp, several people feel vulnerable at the vote. Tina feels terrible for costing her tribe the challenge, while Keith knew he was in danger. Meanwhile, Jerri targets Kel, because he's "a liar and a cheat."

At Tribal Council, Tina again apologizes for her challenge performance, and Jerri again talks about her popular tortillas. Then it's time to vote, and it's a decisive one: in an unanimous 7-1 vote, Kel Gleason became the first Ogakor member to be sent home from the Australian Outback.
