Tastes Like Chicken

Tastes Like Chicken was the ninth episode of.

Story
At camp, Natalie killed a rat and surprised the tribe by providing breakfast. During the reward, Dave, John, Shambo, Kelly and Monica received a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol. They decided to share this information with Brett and Laura, the other former Galu members. Unbeknown to them, back at camp Russell found his second Hidden Immunity Idol without a clue. He relayed this information to Shambo and in return she told him about the former Galu's plan to vote him off. When Russell's original target, Laura, won immunity for the second straight time he planned to get rid of Kelly instead. At tribal, all the former Galu voted for Russell, but Kelly was massively blindsided when Russell played the Hidden Immunity Idol. Kelly was sent home 4-0.

Reward
Challenge: Coconut Code

The tribe would split into two teams of five, with one castaway sitting out the challenge. Two castaways at a time, the teams would race out into a field to collect a series of poles with black and white colored coconuts. The poles would have to be arranged so that the white coconuts form a four digit number. One blindfolded team member would then have to use their sense of touch to unlock a multiple-dial combination lock using the four digit number. The first team to unlock their lock would win.

Reward: A trip to a waterfall rock slide and a picnic lunch.

Winners: Dave Ball, John Fincher, Kelly Sharbaugh, Monica Padilla and Shambo Waters

Immunity
Challenge: Square Peg, Round Hole

The castaways would have to toss a grappling hook to retrieve two bags with a wooden peg in each bag. The first three castaways to retrieve their bags would move on to the final puzzle round. In the final round, the castaways would untie the bags and try to insert one of the uniquely shaped pegs into board, which would release another peg. That peg would fit into another hole, which releases another peg, and so on until the board was full. The first castaway to complete their puzzle would win.

Winner: Laura Morett

Final Words
"aiga"

- I definitely, definitely wasn't expected to go home tonight. Everything was working out perfectly and I hope Galu gets rid of Russell. It's too many idols, how many can there be. He's just a little sneaky man and I definitely know that he's next in line. If Foa Foa stepped in and totally, I think, took us by surprise. I don't know if anyone from my tribe was involved but I'm totally shocked.

Trivia

 * The seven votes that were cast for Russell are the most votes negated because of the hidden immunity idol in the show's history.
