Kimmi Kapped! 2/24/01 Oh, Kimmi! Her mouth finally did her in. She tried to stay quiet, and for awhile, she succeeded. But a 747 just can't fly low under the radar. Kucha's triumph in the reward challenge last week was perhaps the worst thing that could have happened to Kimmi. She immediately developed the kind of bond with the chickens that she couldn't manage to forge with her fellow tribe members. Soon it was Kimmi and the chickens against the world. When it came time for her feathered friends to become lunch, Kimmi couldn't bear to stay quiet any longer. The rest of the tribe was understanding at first . Even hard-bodied, hard-boiled Alicia looked sympathetically after the retreating Kimmi, commenting "it's hard for her." But Kimmi had to push it to the limits in her crusade for chicken rights. Her departures from camp became ever more dramatic and self-righteous. It all came to a head when Kimmi tried to talk Alicia into putting chicken on the menu only on alternate days, lest the starving tribe actually consume too much protein. This was too much for Alicia, a personal trainer who presumably knows a little more about nutritional needs than bartender Kimmi. With an anxious Elisabeth in the middle, the long-anticipated Kimmi - Alicia confrontation exploded. Shouting, profanity and elaborate finger-waving ensued, then Alicia stormed off. She was immediately set upon by Jeff, who was virtually bouncing with glee over the blow-up. "I missed it! What happened?" he squealed. Alicia told her side to the other Kuchas, while Kimmi whined hers for the camera. Additional post-incident interviews focused on Jeff and Elisabeth. Elisabeth delivered the cryptic "Alicia is in charge of talking to people and talking trash about people." Wonder how you get to be "in charge" of talking trash? Never mind, we get the gist. Jeff, still gleeful but thankfully past the bouncing, with that incredibly annoying smugness, observed "I knew this situation was coming." Jeff is such an astoundingly keen judge of people and situations. As much as we despise them both, we almost hope that both Jeff and Jerri make the merger, so we can watch her dissolve this pompous jackass to a quivering puddle. Next we are treated to a segment that might have been entitled "yet another reason we have to boot Kimmi so you won't feel so sorry for her when we she gets kicked out at the end of the show." Apparently, Kimmi's personal hygiene leaves something to be desired. Kimmi tells the camera that she is "grossed out" by the water in the Herbert River, referring to it as "Crocodile Creek." In a voice over, Michael tells us that he is grossed out by Kimmi. Apparently, in two weeks in the Outback, she has yet to bathe. In a scene on the river bank, Michael tells Kimmi her neck is filthy, and poor Kimmi's feelings are hurt. If Kimmi is experiencing this much personal pain in the Kucha tribe, thank goodness she didn't end up in Ogakor. Then the reward challenge notice arrives in the form of a catalog of supplies and the promise of "clean teeth and clean hair." How apropos. Perhaps the camera crew, tired of filming these smelly people, requested this one. With the assurance of shampoo and toothpaste included in the prize, Kucha chooses blankets and spices as their luxury items. They then proceed to build a handsome travois and win the reward challenge. TheKuchas happily return to camp with their supply of bath products donated by TARGET, did everybody get that? TARGET provided the supplies. We're just really concerned that maybe you missed the big TARGET painted on the crate or the fact that Jeff Probst repeatedly mentioned TARGET. There is much happy splashing in Croc Creek. Elisabeth, in a flash of inspiration, notes that the shampoo can double as soap! Michael thanks God (not in that 'oh, thank God' way, but literally) that they can finally bathe Kimmi. A somber moment intrudes on the celebration as the group thinks of their dirty, hungry counterparts over at Ogakor. Jeff steps in to revive their spirits with a rah, rah speech that went something like "Don't feel bad - I want to Kick their Ass, Chop their Heads off, Cut their Legs off, Gouge their Eyeballs - so Mike can Eat them." Jeff was a cheerleader in college in North Carolina. Head Cheerleader. It's all starting to make sense now, isn't it? But alas, such golden moments cannot last forever, and all too soon it's time to dry off and head out for the immunity challenge. The puzzle this time is an elaborate maze. The camera cuts to Jerri, eyes bright, nose twitching like she can already smell that cheese. We get the eerie feeling that Jerri has had plenty of experiences with mazes in a past life. Led by the desperate-for-a-win Colbster, the Ogakors scuttle through the maze well ahead of Kucha. The immunity idol changes hands, and Colby is saved from immediate spontaneous combustion. A dejected but gracious Kucha heads back to camp to sharpen the axe. We are privy to some hushed discussions. Alicia and Jeff remain united and have Kimmi in the cross-hairs. Out on the canoe, Elisabeth, Michael and the-safe-for-now Rodger discuss eliminating Alicia for the sake of tribal harmony. Kimmi asks Michael if he is going to vote with Alicia and Jeff, and he assures her he is not part of that "pack." A somber group shows up on the Cliffs of No Return, and on cue it begins to rain. Their is some blather on Host Jeff's part concerning leadership roles in the group - is it Michael or Alicia? The two of them treat the title like the proverbial hot potato, then it's on to Kimmi. Host Jeff asks Kimmi about her perception of her "place in the tribe." Kimmi ums and ers, "it depends on the day," yada yada. She sums up her situation: "It's weird." And so it is. Host Jeff tallies the votes and it's four in a row for Kimmi, "no need to read the rest." The rain extinguishes Kimmi's torch, depriving Host Jeff of the drama of his "The Tribe Has Spoken" moment. He caps it anyway, but it's just not the same. Kimmi resolutely shoulders her pack, and with a "go get 'em" farewell, she's gone. .... We envision the scene as Kimmi's plane wings it's way home over the Pacific. Kimmi is gazing out the window when her reverie is interrupted by the flight attendant's query: "Ma'am, what would you prefer this evening, the chicken or the pork?"
