Shark Attack

Shark Attack is the third episode of.

Day 7
The episode starts off with Mogo Mogo miserable after suffering tons and tons of bug bites. Kathy notices Jenna M. down, as well as not eating and has to push her to do it, and she doesn't know what that was all about.

At Saboga, everyone is saddened that Rudy was voted off, so Rupert takes the leadership role. Jenna L. and Jerri wok on benches and boards, while Rupert catches fish, and Ethan is still failing. Rupert states that all of the conflict is what's causing them to lose, and they need to work together as a "little mighty tribe".

Back at Mogo Mogo, Richard is going spearfishing, because he needs to be the "provider". He goes for a shark, and stabs it's stomach, and it becomes a man vs. wild scenario. The shark hangs on to a rock, and Richard makes the mistake of letting go for a minute, and the shark bites his hand over and over again. He gets back at the shark by biting it, and finally brings in a catch.

Every tribe starts building a better shelter for the reward challenge, per the tree mail's request. Conflict starts to brew. It's Jerri vs. Rupert at Saboga because of abrasiveness. At Chapera, Sue and Alicia get on everyone's nerves, and at Mogo Mogo, Jenna reveals in a confessional that the reason she's sad is that her mother has cancer and it hasn't gotten better, so she fears that her mother might pass away while she's there.

Day 8
Jeff and the shelter man come in a boat to check Mogo Mogo. Probst introduces the shelter man as Rob, and he shakes Mogo Mogo's shelter to check its stability.

Later, Jeff and Rob overlook Chapera, learning that they have a shelter, a welcome sign, a swingset, lunch benches, and a checkerboard. Rob is surprised with their organization.

At Saboga, Rob is not impressed with their poorly constructed log cabin built into the ground, as one big wave would flood the entire hut, and Jeff and Rob decide that the Saboga hut is not the winner, and talk about Chapera and Mogo Mogo. The packaging goes to Chapera, and while Sue, Rob C., and Tom cheer, Rob M. and Amber get Alicia into their alliance.

Day 9
Jenna M. admits her troubles at Mogo Mogo, and Kathy consoles her, knowing what she's going through and tells that she won't hate her for leaving.

At the challenge, Jenna pulls herself from the game, hugging everyone on her way out.

Jenna rushed to her mother's bedside. Eight days later, her mother lost her long battle with cancer.

Reward
Challenge: Better Homes and Island Living

From Tree Mail, tribes would receive tools from Home Depot and must construct a decent shelter using the provided tools under 24 hours. The next day, the host will bring an expert to judge these shelters. The shelter that would be deemed as the most livable shelter would win reward.

Reward: First placing tribe would win a crate containing tarps, blankets and wine to be dropped from a plane; also a clue to where their next rice box key is buried. The tribe that would have the second best shelter will also receive a clue to their rice box key.

Winners (according to finish): Chapera and Mogo Mogo

Tribal Council
In the DVD, there was a deleted scene showing that Mogo Mogo went to Tribal Council later on after Jenna quit during the Immunity Challenge.

Final Words
Due to Jenna's premature elimination, Final Words were never filmed. However, at the end of the episode a brief memorial to Jenna's mother was shown.

"none"

- Jenna rushed to her mother's bedside. Eight days later, her mother lost her long battle with cancer.

During the end credits however, Kathy stated in her confessional about Jenna's departure:

"mogomogo"

- When Jenna announced that she was going home there was this mood that flowed through everybody and everybody's shoulders went down and their head hung low and it all brought back the reality that it is difficult out here and even though it is a game, there is a whole lot more happening here.
