ONE CASTAWAY SUFFERS AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN AND IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT SYMPATHY IS JUST AS SCARCE AS FOOD, ON “SURVIVOR GABON — EARTH’S LAST EDEN,” THURSDAY, OCT. 23

“He’s A Snake, But He’s My Snake”

In the wake of a tough loss, an emotional outburst causes one castaway to become a target. Meanwhile, large appetites combined with dwindling rations create an air of resentment at one camp, on SURVIVOR: GABON - EARTH’S LAST EDEN, Thursday, Oct. 23 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Last week Sugar arrived at Fang to join her new tribe and was surprised to see that Jacquie was voted out at the last Tribal Council. She continued to feign that she had not found the Hidden Immunity Idol, but Crystal did not believe her and targeted her next for elimination. On day 13, the Fang tribe were visited by an elephant just across the river from their camp.

At the Reward Challenge, a strategy change of tossing two fruit at a time over Ace defending the second wall helped Kota win the challenge by 2 pounds (0.91 kg). Kota chose to send Sugar to Exile Island for the third time in a row, with Dan stating that it was a strategy move to force her to play the Hidden Immunity Idol before the tribal merge as they wanted it back into circulation. At Exile Island, Sugar once again opted for the comfort.

At the Fang camp, the pressure of the game started to get to GC and he argued with Crystal. Immediately before they were to leave for the Immunity Challenge, he went off alone in the tribe’s kayak, causing his tribemates to call out for him. He returned just before they left for the challenge. At the Immunity Challenge, Fang was in the lead until the last round of the challenge when Randy, the caller for Kota, tricked Ace, the blocker for Fang, into stopping and allowing the last Kota ball to reach the goal. The final points were enough for Kota to win the challenge, continuing their winning streak.

Before Tribal Council, GC told Matty that he was ready to leave the game. Crystal searched Sugar’s bag and found that Sugar had the Hidden Immunity Idol. Crystal, Kelly, Ken, and Matty thought that the upcoming Tribal Council was the ideal time to blindside Sugar, but they decided to grant GC’s wish to leave and and he was voted out 6-1.
