The Generation Gap

Challenges
Reward Challenge: (Unknown title)

Sometime between Day 4-5, an unaired reward challenge took place. The challenge involved holding weight on poles. Richard held the weight for Tagi, as Joel for Pagong.

Reward: A map to a closer water hole.

Winner: Pagong

Immunity Challenge: Buggin' Out 

Bug-eating competition. The bug of choice was a butok, or beetle larvae. The live butok is three inches long and a half-inch around. If one castaway refused to eat, his/her tribe will automatically lose the challenge.

Winner: Tagi

Day 4
The episode started with Tagi trying to find ways to find food, only to find two rats for protein. most of the tribemates complained about eating the rodents, but Rudy claimed that he was still strong enough to not eat them. Richard and Stacey tried to fish, but to no avail. In a confessional, Stacey complained about Rudy eating their remaining food supply without asking permission from his tribemates. Rudy on the other hand said in another confessional that Stacey was not pulling her weight doing camp chores.

At Pagong, BB abraisively sent out orders to his tribe to make a hut. Gretchen and Collen praised his work ethic, but they and the rest of the tribe was getting fed up by his overbearing personality. Ramona even complained that BB don't give them ample rest for all the day's work and will likely to vote him out should they lose an Immunity Challenge.

Back at Tagi camp, with Dirk, Stacey and Rich still failing to catch fish, Rudy cooked rice and papaya for lunch. Richard revealed in a confessional that he's scared to reveal he is gay, because the ex-Navy Seal is a homophobe. With Rudy away, Richard's revelation became a healthy discussion during lunchtime. Later on, Richard approached Rudy and revealed his sexuality. But to Richard's surprise, Rudy did not feel uncomfortable talking to him. Instead, Rudy revealed in a confessional that Richard was one of the nicest people he has ever met and lauded him for his leadership skills.

Back at Pagong beach, the younger tribe members ate papaya. Ramona on the other hand cannot stomach the stuff and decided to drink water to compensate. Tribemate Gervase even confessed that he pitied Ramona because she was sick and yet still trying to pull her weight. Later on, while the rest of Pagong tribe were having lunch, Ramona walked through the woods, and started vomiting.

BB complained in a confessional that his teammates were lazy and not doing much chores. But Gervase also complained that "If you're not working hard as him, you're not working hard." Greg also fumed that BB "Doesn't bridge the age gap." But BB was firm about pushing his tribemates too hard.

Day 5
At Pagong, Greg, Colleen, went hiking to find more food (they invited Ramona to come with them, but she refused), with Colleen praising the guy for making their stay in the game more bearable and fun. That night, the tribe continued to be entertained by Greg with his All New Newly Stranded Survivor Game.

Day 6
Pagong's day started with BB and Gretchen arguing about where should the shelter be placed, as high tides threatened to wash their shelter out (their hut was constructed almost near the shoreline). As a solution to need not carry their hut somewhere, BB decided to put logs to ward the waves off. The move was not well-received by the tribe, demanding that the shelter should be relocated on a higher ground. Joel got fed up and argued with BB about the plan.

At Tagi camp, Sean made another attempt to catch fish, creating his infamous "Superpole 2000" (merely a makeshift fishing rod made from a long wooden pole), but failed yet again. Susan even taunted Sean for failing.

Back at Pagong beach, the entire tribe was irked by BB's selfishness as he washed his clothes using his tribemates' water canteens. Joel tried to make a peaceful discussion about making a group decision, but BB was defensive about everything and claimed that everyone was just slacking. But Gervase stepped in by accusing BB of being bossy and told him he should not expect them to do work.

For their second Immunity Challenge, Tree Mail hinted that they will go to the "First Annual Survivor Benefit Buffet", only to reveal that they were to eat Butok, a beetle larva. It was a close race, even ending up a tie. At the tie-breaker round, both tribes will pick who is the weakest eater where Tagi chose Pagong's Gervase and Pagong chose Tagi's Stacey. In the end, Stacey was first to swallow her grub, thus winning Tagi's first challenge.

After their first loss, Pagong was torn between the sick Ramona and the abrasive BB. BB even considered to vote Joel out for stepping up against him. In the end, BB's attitude cost him dearly as he became Pagong's first casualty in a 6-2 vote.

 * Greg: "I think that it's time for Ramona to go. She's a strong challenger, but it seems she was struggling with being part of the group."
 * Gretchen: "I chose B.B. because he was a good 'ol jill out freak hard. He said that he was ready to go and he had done what he came to do and he might not been my first choice if he wasn't ready to go home, because was certainly a hard worker and he kicked some butt. "
 * Joel: "I voted him off because he was the only choice. We talked about other ones, but right now he's the best choice to win the next competition. Unfortunately, I have to do it."

 * Jenna: "I think he wants to be off. He's an awesome guy, incredible, hardest worker probably in the camp, but I think he really wants to get off, and it's time. Conflict's a little much at the camp, but he probably doesn't deserve this." (only available on DVD)
