Survivor Fiji Episode 7

An Evil Thought

Ravu Camp
Lisi returns fro Exile Island and seems to fit in well with the otherwise all-male tribe.

Moto Camp
Again Big Earl and Yauman conspire to leave Yauman alone in camp to look for the Hidden Immunity Idol. This time Yauman finds the Hidden Immunity Idol! Yauman says he plans on sharing it with Big Earl.

Reward Challenge
Reward: plane ride to Fiji arcade, hot dogs & beer.
Competition: Flame throwing fire balls.
Ravu won their first challenge! They chose Earl to go to Exile Island.

Kava Bowl
Food, bowling, pool, and more all in an air conditioned place. Alex and the others got got a little sick. Rocky makes fun of them and criticizes them.

Immunity Challenge
Competition: while blind-folded smash skulls and collect puzzle tiles, then put puzzle together.
Earl is back. Moto started on the puzzle first and solved it to win. (Cannibal Isles)

Scheming Is Free
Ravu to Tribal Council again. Alex and Edgardo target Rocky. Rocky thinks Lisi is the one going home. Alex and Edgardo say that loyalty (Lisi) is better than physical strength (Rocky). Mookie does the math and he realizes the numbers will then really be against him.

Tribal Council
Talk was mostly about Lisi (did she really want to be playing the game, does she fit in) and Rocky (does he trust the others). Funny how Jeff seems to know where to focus the conversation.

Voted Off: Rocky

Rocky's Final Words
Aaaahhh! I'm extremely pissed off . . . . they got me really good. . . smacked in the mouth with a cinder block . . .

Jeff Probst's Final Thought
Based on what I heard tonight Rocky didn't see it coming and if it can happen to him then it could happen to any of you.

• Fork You! Food with Philadelphia charm.

Survivor Fiji Episode 7
An Evil Thought
One of the two hidden immunity idols is discovered and the finder replaces it with a fake idol; Lisi returns from Exile Island and attempts to redeem herself for expressing thoughts that she wanted to go home; another castaway is voted off of the islands. Jeff Probst is the host.

One Survivor walks on dangerous ground, taunting nauseous tribemates who overindulged at the Reward.

One Survivor has an evil thought and hatches a plan to gain an advantage on the other tribemates.

After a meltdown and a night at Exile Island, one Survivor must prove to their tribe that they're ready to play the game. Can this Survivor turn the tables and win over their tribemates or will this be the end of their time in Fiji?

Rumors
Ravu win Reward and Moto Immunity? Yauman Exiled yet again? Again the rumor is that Yauman finds the Hidden Immunity Idol. Rocky to be voted off?

From TVgasm:

Survivor host and keeper of the flame Jeff Probst is biting the hand that feeds him, coming out and admitting what viewers have known for weeks now: This season hasn't been up to snuff.

"I cannot argue with the audience. I can feel that it has not been as fulfilling because it has been unfair. " Jeff says of Survivor: Fiji. "If you look at this (the rich-versus-poor twist) as a mistake then we certainly didn't have luck but I will say the season isn't over yet."
