Yasur Tribal Council
Dolly Discarded
——————
Julie (Votes Leane): My vote is for Leann. I originally wanted Twila out of here, and Dolly’s pretty much running the show, so I said, “Why not Leann?” and she said, “Okay, I’m down with Leann.” So Leann it is. But I do like her. She makes me laugh.
Mia (Votes Leigh Ann): Leann, I hope I’m spelling your name right (NOPE). You seem like a great girl, just didn’t have time to get to know you. It’s purely so the five young’uns, as you call us, can stick together and get through this. Sorry.
Leann (Votes Dolly): Dolly, I’m voting for you because as soon as I found out it’s me who’s getting the axe, I had to do whatever I could to make sure it’s not me. That, and the fact that we couldn’t trust you and your loyalties were very unclear. Sorry.
Eliza (Votes Dolly): I’m voting for this person because I couldn’t risk her voting for me. She was on the fence about who she was going to vote for, and I was in a solid alliance with her, but she couldn’t make that decision, she couldn’t commit to not voting against me, so I had to turn some people around who will vote for her. I hope this doesn’t shoot me in the foot.
DC Notes: She does not hesitate at all in writing her vote
Dolly (Votes Leann): Eenie meenie miney moe. Between Leann and Eliza, Leann’s gotta go.
DC Notes: She says this while she’s writing. Doesn’t show her vote to the camera, just folds it and puts it in
Ami (Votes Dolly): Dolly, I had never would have voted for you, but going back and forth and not telling the truth put your name on my card. I’m really sorry, but it would never have been this way.
DC Notes: She seemed really kind in the voting booth. I’m starting to like her more and more with every episode.
Twila (Votes Dolly): Dolly, I’m sorry, but I stuck with you like glue. It wasn’t a good thing that you couldn’t look me in the eye and tell me the truth, and I can’t trust anybody who can’t look me in the eye. Sorry kid. Love you.
Lisa (Votes LeAnn): Well I really don’t want to vote you off, but I’m in an alliance and that’s kind of what we decided. So, sorry girl. See ya.
Scout (Votes Dolly): Dolly, I love you to death. And I trust people who can make a firm commitment and stick with it. Even a shepherd needs to pick a path and stay on it. Good luck with your farm.
DC Notes: It’s weird, but when I watch this clip, I think Scout has this air of mysticalness around her. It’s like everything just stopped and she floated up to the voting booth.

Dolly and Tree Mail
——————
Description: What does Dolly think the Challenge will bring? Find out what she thought the Reward would be as she anticipates the start of the Challenge.
DC Notes: She thinks Julie, not Scout, is the weakest member of the tribe. I wonder why we haven’t seen anything about that, or anything about Julie, for that matter.
Dolly (Confessional): We got some treemail, which is like the best news we’ve heard, I think since we’ve been here after a night of horrible, cold, wet, rainy sleep, and apparently it looks like if we are the winners we’re gonna come home a lot drier and a lot warmer.
I HOPE that we are playing for AT LEAST fleeces and our rain-jackets, but it would be a dream come true if we were playing for something a little cushier to sleep on, and if not that, a blanket or even 9 blankets.
The challenge’s kind of, it’s not really written too clearly. We don’t have too clear of a clue from the treemail this time. We’re guessing someone’s going to be blindfolded and the other person’s going to have to lead them and talk to them because it says that – who works better together, so it’s going to be interesting to find out.
I think the women are totally motivated to win this one because we have been suffering so much in the cold, the freezing cold night.
Well, since we have had fire and water and we’ve been eating pretty good, I think, maybe we’re going to work, maybe we’re a little stronger than the guys, if in fact they don’t have fire and haven’t had good water and good food.
If the reward is our fleece and a blanket, or a fleece and our raincoat, it is going to be monumental. Because we sleep – if we get our sleep, we’re going to be right back on top of our game and back to the women that we were when we first came here instead of rundown.
I don’t think – even if it’s a physical challenge, I think Julie who might be our weakest at this point, I think today she’s shown she’s gotten stronger, and I’m not really worried, no. And I don’t think at any point that anyone is weaker than any of the rest of us.

Julie’s Outlook
——————
Description: After returning from the Immunity Challenge, Julie clued Insider in on what went wrong. Watch now and get her take on why the women lost.
DC Notes: Boring clip. She just describes the challenge. The only thing worth noting is that she holds no grudges against Scout. I’m wondering if it’s because she thinks she’s a weaker member of the tribe, as Dolly does, and does not want to start finger-pointing, in case she’s next.
Julie (Confessional): The challenge was tiring and difficult. Definitely a challenge.
I don’t think I’m putting the blame on Scout, I guess, I mean, maybe if she had like 3 other voices to spout out she would have done better, but I think she did decent. Well actually at the end she did miss one of the things, and we could have been hopping on that a little quicker, so maybe a little bit is her fault. Either/or.
Well, for the challenge there were two teams of 2 and a team of 3 all tied together and blindfolded, and Scout was above everybody, looking to see for puzzle pieces and directing people Some were in the water, some were hanging, some were on the ground. She was shouting at us to go get them. And we fell behind a little bit at the end. She forgot there was another one in the water – or she didn’t see it. Or overlooked, I guess.
There’s a lot going on. I guess my problem wasn’t hearing her, but a lack of direction. Me and Mia we just sat there for a while and waved our hands like “we need some direction here” and she was yelling at other people. Which is granted because there’s lots going on.
You were frustrated out there because you have no control, or semi-control, you’re blindfolded, you know, you’re bumping into people. But it’s all fun, I guess. But it sucks that we have to send somebody home. Just as long as it’s not me!

J.P.’s Interview
——————
Description: As J.P. preps for the upcoming Reward Challenge, he explains how desperate the tribe is without fire.
DC Notes: I was sort of wondering why they hadn’t died of thirst.
John P. (Confessional): So Travis, Brady, and myself went down, checked treemail, and came back to camp, read it in front of the guys, and we’re all strategizing what kind of game, or challenge, to expect against the girls. So there was a little statement in there about getting wetter, so we – at least the guys – know how wet we’ve been in the last few days, so we’re hoping that we’re not going to be coming back wet tonight, we’ll have some fire. We’re expecting to win this challenge this afternoon.
We’re hoping it’s a reward right now. The girls – the ladies have fire right now, we don’t, so we’re hoping today’s challenge is the reward challenge and tomorrow will be the immunity challenge.
We need fire because we do not have any food. Well, we have food, but it needs to be cooked. We have snails, we have seaweed, we have plantains. We have all these sources of food but we can’t eat them. We just stare at them all day, and well, we’re not going to be able to cook them just by staring at them. So we need fire so we can cook these particular food sources.
It would help the cold night situation a lot, I think, once we do have fire, and we start fire. I don’t think we’re going to actually be going in the shelter. I think the first night we’re going to be camping out around the fire to appreciate the fire. Water: same thing. I think if we have fire we’ll have water, we’ll boil it instead of our primitive filtration system that we’ve got going on. I think we’d feel a little more confident and safe, and we’d be consuming a lot more than we are right now, which is only a drink about every hour.
