The monster is BACK, dropping the 4, keeping the 3, taking your flint, risking your vote. Anyone else love Jeff's customary intro of "Guy in the blue shirt, Woman with the hair, tell us about yourself", as if he hasn't spent months in the casting process and knows their names by now?

No time to waste, the tribes have to compete for reward. The red tribe pulls out the big brained strats with having the flint fall into the bamboo pole, earning them the chance to not have to do a brainteaser (as well as some supplies). (+3 reward point to red tribe)

Is this the first survivor episode named after a butt tattoo? +3 confessional points to Cody for LIVIN!! :)

Gambling Gabler really does not want to vote this episode, but despite his best efforts, pulls out an idol. A very short-lived idol yes, but an idol nonetheless. (+5 immunity/advantages points)

Keep your pants on, it's immunity challenge time. Blue tribe pick up the win with the easiest table maze (+4 immunity points), and red not far behind with the straight shot (+3).

Sad to see the shortest lived final 6 agreement in survivor history, back to the mines of Morriah with you! (+2 points to all tribal council survivors)
