SFist Watches: Your Locals On Reality TV
Previously on "Survivor: Fiji," our two locals survived another week, even though it did look like Sylvia's days might be numbered.
Post-tribal council Ravu returned to their sad, fireless camp. They resolved to get hydrated in the morning and try the old eyeglasses-and-sunlight trick to get some fire. They also vowed to work as a tribe and not as individuals. Meanwhile, the winning Moto tribe painted their shelter, ate, sat on their couch, and gloated.
The next morning Earl came back from Exile Island, and two of the Rava girls got down to their eyeglasses+sun=fire plan. And it worked! It actually worked! Wonder if the prescription of the glasses matters? Like farsighted works better than nearsighted?
Reward challenge, and the reward was a choice between everyone's personal luxury items, a hunting set (like the one Moto had already won), or a basket of fruit. The challenge involved a slip-and-slide and ski ball. We are so not kidding about that. Sylvia failed miserably, and Yau-Man didn't do much better. I don't think people in their 50s like flinging their bodies down slippery slopes. Those hips are fragile! Ravu lost and Sylvia was sent to Exile Island. Man. Exile Island really sucks this year. Not only is it covered in snakes, but you can't even spend your time there looking for the Hii since it's actually back at camp. Sylvia did get a better clue though, and had high hopes about finding it when she returned to her tribe.
At Moto's camp, Gary, AKA "Papa Smurf" had breathing problems and a medic was called in. He feared he had broken a rib during the challenge. His symptoms got worse, and he seemed to be disoriented. However, the doctor didn't think it was anything too serious and gave him...Aspirin. Is this the same doctor that recently admitted to some drug abuse?
Immunity challenge! And it was a food-eating challenge, but it being a challenge, the food wasn't exactly...delicious. Ravu was basically starving, though, and they took to it with relish. First up was giant clam. Ravu won it. Next, octopus. Couldn't tell if it was raw or cooked. It can be quite tasty either way, though. Sylvia did her best, but lost. Next course, peanut worms. Peanut worms?? They looked pretty horrific, but Mookie from Ravu ate it all, and threw in some taunting at the same time. Moto didn't like the taunting, the big crybabies. Next up, sea cucumber. Can't say we're fans--and neither was Earl from Ravu. He lost. Tied two-two. Fish eyes were next, and Ravu lost that too. Next? Pig snouts. Four of them. And there was still some hair on 'em. Anthony from Ravu was not digging them, and Papa Smurf from Moto scarfed them down. Maybe they were good for what ailed him.
Back at Ravu's camp, Sylvia tried to save her ass by apologizing for her poor performance during the reward challenge. Finding the Hii was her top priority since it was pretty apparent they were going to vote her out. She THOUGHT she knew where it was, and tried to do some clandestine digging to look for it. The back-up plan within the tribe, should she come up with the Hii, was to vote out Anthony.
Tribal Council. When asked if anyone had the Hii, Sylvia shook her head, no. Too bad, because she was voted out. Doh! One local down, one local left.
