Timbira Night 9: Coach is bitter that Erinn said Brendan was a better leader.  The next morning Brendan wants to make it clear who is the established leader.  Coach makes a speech that Brendan should be the leader and if he were to be voted off he (Coach) would take the position.

Jalapao wakes up, and the tribe is concerned about how Taj is coping with her continual trips to Exile Island with Brendan.  Taj mentions to Stephen that she would like a moment alone with him.  She confesses her alliance with him (Brendan, Sierra, Stephen & Taj).

Reward Challenge:
3 members of each tribe will have a pole across their shoulders and weight will be placed on the pole.  Last person left standing will win for their tribe.  They will win a camp raid!!  Each tribe will sit a member out (5 each).

Timbira: Joe, Taj & JT
Jalapao: Debra, Brendan & Tyson

Each bag of weight is 10 pounds each (2 at a time)

-Brendan is the first to drop out at 220 pounds resting on his shoulders
-Tyson drops out at 140 pounds resting on his shoulders
-JT drops out at 220 pounds resting on his shoulders
-Joe drops out at 180 pounds resting on his shoulders

It comes down to both women both at an equal amount of weight.  Debra drops out and Jalapao wins the challenge.  Jalapao’s fourth straight win.  Jalapao chooses Sierra to go to Exile Island and she then picks Taj (thank goodness that she luckily chose Taj for their alliance).  Later Jalapao will be choosing two members to go and raid the losing team’s camp.  They are allowed to take two items.

When Timbira gets back to camp they try and think about what items the winning team members could possibly take.  Joe and JT come over to raid the camp.  Joe and JT take a bag of beans and their water.  Sandy (old lady) is getting on everyone’s nerves.  She recognizes that Sydney is working the boys, by wearing the boys boxers, flirting…etc.

Sierra and Taj arrive at Exile Island.  Taj informs Sierra about the secret alliance.  With another clue Taj figures out where the idol is hidden. Erinn is the loner of Timbira and doesn’t talk to anyone and no one includes her in anything.

Taj and Sierra return from Exile Island to perform in the challenge. Jalapao must sit out one member, they choose Taj.

Challenge:

A member of each tribe races the maze to retrieve a puzzle piece.  Once all puzzle pieces are collected the team must discover what the puzzle says.  The losing tribe will go to Tribal Counsel.  Timbira’s puzzle says, “Escape the vote Timbira wins immunity.”  Timbira wins immunity, Jalapao must vote someone off.  After tonight’s vote both tribes will be even 6 on 6.

Taj, Stephen, Sandy and JT talk about who they want to vote off.  Sydney’s name comes up.  The dilemma is between Sydney and Sandy.  Sydney asks everyone what they like about the game.  They say meeting new people, she says she likes the “sneakiness” of the game.
