Survivor: Fiji -- Episode 2
Even though Erica saved the Ravu tribe from dehydration, she wouldn't keep her big yap shut at the Immunity Challenge. Her freakout made her the latest contestant eliminated from Survivor: Fiji.
When Sylvia joined the Ravu tribe after her brief stay on Exile Island, she found them in rough shape. With no fire to boil water, they'd resorted to licking the dew off of palm fronds.
Sylvia did what she does best and started barking orders, but her exhausted team wasn't in any shape -- or mood -- to carry them out. Within a few minutes of joining the tribe, she'd made herself the obvious target for elimination.
As they stumbled about and fell down, delirious from dehydration, it seemed like they might be better off forfeiting the Immunity Challenge and saving their energy. But Erica started poking around the bushes near their cave and discovered dozens of pineapples.
Refreshed from their boost of citric acid, and now scurvy-free, the Ravu tribe was ready to take on their pampered rivals. Earl, the early hero of this season, even vowed to marry Erica.
Meanwhile, things weren't going all that well at Moto's camp, at least for one of their tribe members. Boo, a construction worker by trade, proved that he might be the most accident-prone person on the planet.
First, Boo poked his eye on a spear. Minutes later, using a terrible chopping technique to axe wood, he managed to slice through his hand and into his thigh.
With only one functioning eye, hand, and leg, Boo decided to do the least dangerous thing he could: rest in a hammock. That's when the hammock became unraveled, dropping Boo to the ground with a thud.
Somehow, Boo survived long enough to make it to the Immunity Challenge. Teams paddled their canoes through the water, collecting four boxes and towing them back to shore.
Once ashore, teams opened up their boxes to find the pieces of a flag pole, which all fit together as a puzzle. The first team to solve the puzzle and raise their flag pole won the rights to the posh camp, fishing gear, and, should Ravu win, flint. The winning team also sent one of the losers to Exile Island.
Ravu got an early lead in the water, and had already started assembling their pole by the time Moto got their boxes ashore. But Erica flipped out, screaming about how to correctly assemble the puzzle.
Distracted by Erica, Ravu fell behind. Eventually, most of them stopped working on the puzzle and gawked as Moto raised their flag in victory.
Moto chose Earl, the fittest of the Ravu men to send into exile. They didn't realize that there was a flint on Exile Island, and that Earl would be in much better condition than if he'd gone back to Ravu's camp.
Earl had only one complaint about Exile Island -- the snakes. He regretted having to kill a snake in self-defense, saying, "Snakes are misunderstood. But we have an understanding now."
When Ravu returned to their fire-less camp, sentiment quickly turned against Erica for her in-challenge freakout. Even if it only bought her one more week, Sylvia was off the chopping block.
Anthony insisted that the team had functioned better before Sylvia arrived, and that it didn't make sense to eliminate one of their younger, stronger members. He tried to steer the vote away from Erica, but at Tribal Council, Anthony and Erica were the only people to vote for Sylvia.
Next week, Ravu manages to start a fire without flint, and someone on Moto is seriously injured. Is there any chance that it's not Boo?
