Kimmi Strikes Back! 3/9/01 The tribes merged into one, but tribal "loyalties" ran deep as our Survivors completed their third week in the Outback. The episode opened with Kucha's Jeff declaring that Ogakor had been "given a gift" when Mike's accident precluded a final tribal immunity challenge. The tribes would merge with five members apiece. Kucha's "big Mo" was stopped in it's tracks. Jeff delivered an abbreviated "Win one for the Gipper" speech; the Gipper of course being the injured Mike who had to leave the game after seriously burning his hands. Ironic, isn't it. Those of you who have been taking your Ritalin will recall that Jeff didn't have a very high opinion of Mike previous to his departure .... called him an idiot, among other things. But now Mike is a rallying point, and rally the Kucha's did. Led by cheerleader Jeff's call to "Eat 'em up and spit 'em out," rah,` rah! the Kucha's vowed to stick together and pick off the Ogakors one by one. They decided to toss Jerri or Colby first. As it turned out, they made the wrong choice. Jeff also remarked, both astutely and portentously, that he was concerned about the previous vote cast against him by none other than Kimmi. Over at Ogakor, there is much speculation as to the nature of the injury at Kucha. They have no idea what happened or to whom, and the not knowing is getting to Colby. While Colby expresses the frustration of uncertainty in a camera interview, Jerri and Tina, who appear to be forming some type of bond, engage in speculation. Jerri wonders "Do you think Rodger had a stroke or something?" and Tina, grabbing Jerri's forearms, lets out a high-pitched Tennessee wail that defies interpretation. By the way, Jerri, Rodger is only 53 years old, has engaged in physical labor on his farm all his life, and was found to be fit enough to compete on Survivor. He's not exactly in a high risk category for cerebrovascular disease. Get educated. Meanwhile, Tina and Colby shrewdly point out that the Ogakors must not let the Kuchas know that Keith and Jerri have had votes cast against them. They have correctly figured out that the Kuchas will vote as a bloc, as will they, and that previously cast votes will be the tie-breaker. It will prove to be a crucial realization. Over at Kucha, the tribe discusses the upcoming merger and how much they do not want to be the ones to have to move. The Ogakors, on the other hand, are ready to go. They've had enough of Camp Hard Luck and are ready for a change of scenery. The mail arrives and the Kucha's are told that it will be a girls' night out. Alicia and Elisabeth are to hike over to Ogakor Camp for dinner and a sleepover. The tribe assumes that the Ogakor girls will be arriving for an evening at Camp Kucha, and Rodger, Nick and Jeff prepare to wine and dine the ladies. Meanwhile, Ogakor's mail promises a guys' night out, and the tribe assumes that the Kucha guys will be spending an evening with the Ogakor ladies. And you know what happens when you assume .... Alicia and Elisabeth set off through the woods. Alicia notes that the Kucha girls "felt strange walking away from camp just us two, but it's really kind of cool." We see the two holding hands, strange bedfellows in light of Alicia and Jeff's previous plottings against Elisabeth. The girls continue, expecting to find Keith and Colby waiting for them. When they arrive, the Ogakor ladies, who are expecting the Kucha guys, greet them with hugs. Everybody laughs about the mix-up. Everybody but Amber. Amber looks lost and confused. Amber really needs to get a clue in a big hurry. The five ladies seem to bond instantly and are soon in deep discussion about Mike's accident. In a camera interview, Jerri states that when the Ogakors heard about the accident and knew they would not face the final tribal immunity challenge, they "didn't know whether to celebrate or feel bad." Well, Jerri, it all depends on whether you're warm-blooded or cold-blooded. Then we cut to Tina, all smiling and twanging, telling the camera that had Michael not suffered his unfortunate accident, "we would a bin picked auff wuhn bah wuhn, but naow it's a tah bahl-game, and wee're goin' inta over-tahm!" Woo-hooo! Meanwhile, at the Kucha Island Resort, the men are playing out a similar, "wow, we were expecting the women and here are you guys! Ha-ha, what a mix-up!" scenario. Keith and Colby are obviously impressed with the surroundings. "Y'all are livin' plush!" Colby declares. Don't you just know that Colby is going to say that something is "sweet!" before it's all over? The Kucha boys treat their counterparts to an extremely well-received chicken dinner. Poor Chef Keith makes some tentative suggestions as to how to prepare the poultry while Colby looks on. Jeff remarks to the camera that all he "saw of Colby was teeth." He observed that Keith appeared to be an outsider, but that Keith and Colby had a better relationship than he thought. Keith thought it was a nice gesture on the part of the Kuchas to serve them their last chicken. Rodger noted that everybody was being "nicey-nicey" right now, but that this would likely change. Back at Camp Ogakor, it begins to rain, threatening their fire. Jerri discovers that Keith has left with the matches in his pocket. It's obvious that Jerri is dying to rip into Keith, but in a remarkable show of restraint - frankly, we didn't think she had it in her - she holds her forked tongue. She vents to the camera that as upset as she is about the matter, she doesn't want to talk about Keith "in front of our guests, 'cause they'll figure out he has votes against him." In the battle of wits between the bartenders, Jerri beats Kimmi hands down. Jerri soon forgets her ire as she once again assumes the culinary spotlight. "We decided I was going to make my famous tortillas," she crows. In her one and only moment of the evening, Amber voices her disappointment about the Ogakor offerings. "It's upsetting we can't give them what they can give us," she laments. Jerri opens a can of stewed tomatoes to dress up her "famous" tortillas, and Alicia is touched by the gesture. She feels that it is "big time they opened a can for us." She says that she wants to "feed them [the Ogakors]" and she didn't expect to feel that way. Oh Alicia, you're the strong one, the shrewd one! Don't fall for it! Don't throw away your strategy over a can of tomatoes! Fortified by the tortillas, the tomatoes and a night's sleep, Jerri and Amber are "stoked" about relocating to Camp Kucha with its firewood, kitchen and other amenities. Then the mail arrives, dashing their plans. It seems the ladies have fifteen minutes to pack up all the gear they can carry and follow a map to a brand new camp. The men's growing camaraderie over at Camp Kucha is interrupted by a similar eviction notice that sets them scrambling. As Keith says, it's "a real pain." A box and a note are waiting at the new location. The note instructs them to choose a new name and the box is full of the stuff of Survivor dreams - food! And this time it's not alive and clucking or trying to run away! And there's wine, too. Tina declares that "I've never had wine in my whole life! She probably means that she's never had the kind that comes in a bottle. But anyway, she says "I'm fixin' to have some now!" Woo-hooo! The celebration is on. Nick feels that the food should have been taken out and evenly divided, but he wasn't about to get in the way of the women's feeding frenzy. Alicia remarks that "even during all this celebration, the game is still being played, every minute of every day." Jeff notes that "They [the Ogakors] seemed nice and I thought it was all legitimate and then I saw Jerri and Colby go off by themselves, whispering, then Colby and Keith were whispering and pointing fingers at us and counting, and I thought 'it's starting already' and we'd only been together for fifteen minutes." Jeff is feeling the noose slip around his neck. The group decides to build its new shelter on the beach according to the wishes of the women, who prefer to sleep on the soft sand. They decide to call themselves the Barramundi tribe. Apparently the Barramundi is some type of "slippery" critter. We can undoubtedly look forward to learning much more about the Barramundi in the weeks to come. The first individual immunity challenge is called The Perch. Host Jeff tells the group it is designed to test both their will and their endurance. Each of the group swims out to an individual pole in a lagoon, the top of which is just big enough for a pair of feet to, well, perch upon. Nick was in the water first, saying he felt dizzy and knew he wouldn't last anyway, and thought that a snooze on the beach was a better use of his time. Yeah, Nick hasn't been getting a whole lot of rest for the past three weeks. Colby flipped himself in next, ostensibly to make the Kuchas "mad" and "convince them I'm the guy to vote for" to draw attention away from Keith and Jerri, who are vulnerable with their previous votes. Colby's plan is to get immunity for one and "camouflage" the other. Good plan. It worked. After four hours, Rodger is tempted off his perch by peanut butter and apples, Jeff jumps in next. What Jeff didn't realize is that Rodger could afford to give into the peanut butter temptation - he's lovable. Jeff isn't. Jeff wants to eat people and spit them out. Not literally .... probably not literally .... but it still isn't nice. After six hours, Jerri and Amber fly off their perches (guess who jumped in first) when Host Jeff flashes some ice cream cones with hot fudge sauce. A vanilla chocolate orgy ensues. After eight hours, the sun begins to set and Tina, Elisabeth, Keith and Alicia begin to shiver, while the warm and well-fed others huddle on the beach. Host Jeff asks Elisabeth what it will take to tempt her back to shore and she settles for a boat ride. She is rowed to shore, and Rodger gives her a big hug. He's so lovable. After ten hours, Jeff notes that Alicia is worried that the Ogakors are gunning for her. However, she is tempted down by the promise of hot chocolate and a ride to shore. When Host Jeff asks if there are any other takers, Keith turns to Tina and says, almost pleadingly, "Tina, I need this one." Tina then joins Alicia and the cocoa in the boat, and Keith wins the precious puuka shell necklace. Tina notes that stepping off was the hardest thing she's ever done, but she "did it for the team." Tina needs to get a better grip on the new concept of the game here or it's back to Dog Patch for her. At tribal council we get the feeling that the challenge lasted a lot longer than anyone expected and it must be about three a.m. Poor Host Jeff is so ready to get back to the lodge he can taste it. He manages to spout off a few questions though before the vote. Alicia says that she "felt like stepping off wouldn't affect the outcome." Keith gushes that his immunity is a gift from Tina, and that she feels "like a sister" to him. Tina twangs that "I'm a team player and our team needed this." Someone, please, explain the concept of the game to this woman. Two tedious votes later, and we're as ready for the lodge as Host Jeff. Five for Jeff and five for Colby. Rinse and repeat. The tie-breaker is, of course, the previous votes cast against Jeff by Debb.....and Kimmi! Remember the night Kimmi was cast off? She said she voted for Jeff because she ''heard other people were voting for him." Maybe she meant the Ogakors were planning to vote for him after the merger. After all, Colby said tonight that his vote for Jeff was "a strategic move that was determined the first week we were here." And the Ogakors were tipped off - by Kimmi - that Jeff had a vote against him. As Jeff said, in his parting words, someone with "a very large mouth" had given him away. Kimmi's big mouth did her in; and it's influence is so far reaching that it continues to wreak havoc in the Outback even when its owner is thousands of miles away.
