Story

Day 25

The Barramundi tribe's food supply is running low. They're down to just one supply of rice, and the stormy weather has made it impossible to fish.

The tribe gets Tree Mail about the Reward Challenge, telling them to divide themselves into pairs. The tribe decides to draw names out of a hat. Jerri ends up with Colby, while the other teams are Amber/Keith, Tina/Rodger, and Elisabeth/Nick. The challenge, an obstacle course, promises a majestic trip to the Great Barrier Reef. Jerri and Colby beat out Amber and Keith to claim the prize.

Day 26

Back at camp, the helicopter arrives to take Jerri and Colby to their reward. Jerri says that winning two consecutive rewards may irk her tribemates, but "I couldn't give a flying crap." During a meal of sandwiches, fruit, and champagne, Jerri tries to flirt with Colby, but he ignores her come-ons. They then go snorkeling at the reef. Jerri calls it "one hell of a first date." Colby calls it a nice break from the game.

Day 27

When the duo returns to camp, Colby gives each tribe member a piece of coral that he took from the reef. The Ogakors discuss which Kucha to target at the next vote. They agree on Nick, who is challenge threat, though has also been feeling sick lately.

The Immunity Challenge is a tug-of-war on platforms in the water. Two people will square off at a time. The final round ends up pitting Colby against Nick. After a hard-fought battle, Colby falls in the water and Nick wins a much-needed immunity. With Nick safe, the only other Kuchas, Rodger and Elisabeth, feel vulnerable. Jerri and Amber settle on booting Elisabeth. However, Colby, Keith, and Tina are unsure. They know that it may be strategically safer to stick with Ogakor, but they don't like the idea of keeping the annoying Jerri over the extremely kind Elisabeth.

At Tribal Council, the tables are finally turned on Jerri, and she is shocked to find herself booted by a 6-2 vote. "Checkmate," says Jerri as she gets her torch snuffed. "You guys got me." Jerri joins Alicia on the jury.

Winner: Colby Donaldson and Jerri Manthey

Challenge: Hanging in the Balance
Part 1: Know Your Ropes
Each member of a pair stands on a platform in the water and uses a rope to cause the opponent to lose balance and to fall in the water. The winners of this round proceed to the next.
Part 2: Rock the Boat
Each member of a pair rocks an unsteady beam above the water back and forth, attempting to force the opponent to fall off. The winners proceed to the final competition.

Voting Confessionals

Colby, Keith, Tina, Nick, and Elisabeth's confessionals are only available on DVD. Elisabeth “ (voting for Jerri) The game's just gonna get tougher, and I don't think you can handle it, and I need someone around me who can for now keep me up. ” Colby “ (voting for Jerri) Jerri, Jerri, Jerri. You're buggin' the hell outta everybody, and, uh, that knock you keep hearin' on your door, that's housekeeping. It's checkout time. ” Nick “ (voting for Jerri) My vote is for Jerri, and, uh... just mainly because the rest of the tribe wants her gone, so... have a nice game. ” Amber “ (voting for Elisabeth) Elisabeth, this is going to be the hardest vote yet, and the hardest vote for the rest of the game, but the only reason why I am making it is because I made a word with my original tribe, and I want to stick to my word. ” Tina “ (voting for Jerri) Jerri, in the 27 days that I've been here, you have not asked me one single question about myself. It seems like, from Day 1, you've been the source of conflict within the tribe, and you just seem to be in this only for yourself, and for the next two weeks, we don't wanna have to deal with that. ” Rodger “ (voting for Jerri) Most days, she gets up in a good mood, but, oh, baby, look out if she gets up in a bad mood. ” Keith “ (voting for Jerri) I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't looking forward to this moment, ever since the first day I realized you formed an alliance and we were still a young team. Maybe I'll send you a recipe for rice sometime. ” Jerri “ (voting for Elisabeth) I've never in my life met anyone more likable and more lovable. Because you are such a likable person, it is a definite threat. ”

Final Words

	Jerri	“	You know, it's funny, because I absolutely knew this was coming. It must have been my remark about how this game isn't fair. I'm pretty sure that's what set everyone off. I've had a great time, and I'm still up for sitting around with everybody having a beer and laughing about this whole thing.	”
