Last week Moto continued winning. Ravu got weaker but managed to start fire on their own. Gary got hurt. Ravu votes off Sylvia. For a more detailed review, check out Spanky’s most excellent summary

Hi, my name is Movu, I’m a little Fijian bug. My usually calm life has been rather altered by the arrival of these large, human creatures. They spent a whole lot of time wandering around and then built all these structures. In my way, I must say. But they do provide a bit of extra nourishment for me and my family. Well, half of them leave. So I follow them and end up in a rather pathetic location. But hey, food is food. Now I spend my days going back and forth between them. I’m quite tired from all that flying but the eating sure is good.

So tonight I’m getting all settled in for the night when the group that calls itself Ravu tromps back in. (I notice one of them is gone…not sure what’s up with that) The guy who calls himself Rocky starts ranting and raving about losing. He complains about this other guy named Anthony and how he is always whining and complaining. He says he doesn’t usually act this way unless it’s with a broad. He says he was raised as a man and acts like one. None of this complaining about everything. Sounds to me like he’s complaining.

Anthony doesn’t know what it is he’s doing to bug Rocky so much but he says he’s not giving up. He gets all emotional about it. When he wasn’t looking I bit his leg.

The next day I fly back over to the other tribe. They’re much plumper so I usually spend more time over there, at least when I’m hungry. A guy named Boo is totally passed out in the hammock. Yum, he’s tasty. I call the kids over to have their breakfast. Boo won’t mind.

Stacy and Lisa are hanging out in the water going on about how nice it is out here. (yeah, they just don’t know I’m having a party tonight and inviting all the bugs from the other side of the island) The girls talk about the bond between them, Boo, Alex and Edgardo. (I’ll call him Ed cause his full name is a lot for a small bug to say)

Poor guy named Gary is all laid up with a spinning head and such. He’s not doing so well and Cassandra is worried about him. He is noticing all the bug bites on his leg. I swear it wasn’t me! Lisi says that Gary doesn’t look good but she doesn’t want to babysit him. If he doesn’t get better he’ll have to go.

Later they all get in their boat. I’m bored so I go along with them. It’s a reward challenge. Oh hey! It’s that Jeff guy. He’s been living good, it looks like. Think I’ll hang out with him during the challenge. Snack time!

For the challenge the tribes have to line up on a beam out in the water. Then one at a time they have to cross the beam over their teammates. They can’t touch more than one person at a time. They can’t touch the beam with anything other than their feet. If they fall off they have to start over. If they want to change the order they’re standing in they have to jump off the beam first. The first team to get all their members to the platform wins.

And what do they win? Not that I really care, but they get fish, rice, spices, pillows blankets and a king size bed complete with sheets and pillows. Probably that fat tribe will win. Fine with me, more food for my family.

In between bites of Jeff I watch the challenge. Ravu gets off to an early lead since Lisi can’t figure out how to cross the beam and falls off four times then touches two people at the same time and has to start over. But after that Moto figured things out and got all their members over before Ravu got any more over. (they had two over before Lisi finally crossed)

So the fat tribe gets more food and more luxury. They send Yau Man to Exile Island. (I think I’ll check that place out at some point) The loser tribe gets nothing again. I think I’ll be going with the fat tribe. It’s about lunch time and I’m getting hungry.

The fat tribe gets to their camp and they’re cheering and drooling over their win and new bed. Alex says he feels sorry for the individual members of the loser tribe.

After eating my fill I go out for some exercise and end up with the loser tribe. Whoa, glad I swerved there. Just missed being hit by stuff thrown by Rocky. Boy is he mad about losing. He’s ranting and raving and complaining. Saying they might as well just go to tribal council now and get it over with. But he insists he isn’t being negative, just realistic.

Earl keeps a good attitude and says he does his work even though he’s hungry and tired. He and Anthony are out working and Earl says he trusts Anthony but it’s getting harder to look out for him. Anthony knows he’s a target.

Okay, this is boring so I’m flying out to Exile Island. Hm, lots of snakes. Oh, there’s Yau Man! He’s reading clues about the immunity idol. Says he knows where it is but is wondering when he will have a chance to look for it. I’d be willing to help out with that. If I get all my friends and family to go on a biting rampage maybe everyone will leave the camp and then he can have the whole place to himself to look.

Must be leaving. I have a date tonight and the best eating is with the fat tribe.

It’s dark now and I am stuffed! Hope these guys keep winning cause I love the easy access to such tasty food!

Whoa, there’s Liliana giving out massages to the guys. But Lisi’s got her number. She knows Liliana is just inacting a little strategy on the guys. Those guys totally don’t know what’s going on. After they're all asleep I'm sneaking in and biting them, every last one of them.

The next day Gary is still doing badly. He has no energy, feels nauseous and his head is spinning. He says he can’t function and he’s never been this way before. He’s scared.

The med team is called in (yum, I get Australian for lunch!) and they tell him there’s nothing more they can do for him there. So he chooses to leave camp and the med boat is called.

Lisi, compassionate person that she is, says that now the odds are better for her with one less person around.

Alex is frustrated at losing Gary and hopes they don’t lose the immunity challenge.

Time for another exercise flight. I head over to the loser camp and Rocky is ranting a bit. I have a snack as he says that he’s going to lead by example.

They get tree mail and as Michelle is reading the exquisite poetry they received everyone is startled (dare I say, revolted) by Rocky walking up in nothing but his birthday suit. (I don’t feel so hungry anymore) Rita says it wasn’t a pretty sight. I’d have to agree with her.

Before they head off to the challenge Rocky wears his buff like the girls do and puts coconuts in them. (what an ugly girl he makes...I’m totally not snacking on him anymore). He goes that way to the challenge.

My snack... I mean, Jeff tells the loser tribe that the have a great attitude for a team that can’t win squat. He also tells them that Gary is officially out of the game. But they still have to play the game. Someone is going to tribal council.

Their challenge involves cages. Makes it easier for me to snack. Four members are locked in separate cages out in the water. One member starts out and unlocks the first person. The person just released goes to unlock the next person and so on. The last person and their rescuer get into a boat and they go back and pick up the rest of the rescued tribe members. They then paddle into shore, go up and form a human pyramid. The top person has to stand up and unlock the final cage, releasing the last member of the tribe. First tribe on their mat wins immunity. Oh and the winning tribe gets a bottle with a note inside it. I flew over to check it out. Man, they’ll be surprised!

So while I’m snacking away they get started on the challenge. Fat tribe stays in the lead for the the whole challenge but loser tribe does manage to catch up towards the end. They both form their pyramids but the fat tribe finds the right key first and wins immunity.

They excitedly open the bottle and read the note. It informs them that if they want to keep immunity they have to trade camps with the other tribe.

They talk about it for a moment. Immunity or Club Med? They choose Club Med so loser tribe actually gets a break this time and doesn’t have to go to tribal council.

I’m tired from all this flying and snacking so I hitch a ride back to Luxury Island with the fat tribe. As soon as we’re back Dreamz starts gathering everyone together and wants them to decide right then and there who will be voted out. He singles out Cassandra and Lisi as the only two people, in his opinion, who they can afford to lose. I bite him.

Stacy says Dreamz is shooting from the hip. He doesn’t know that the tribe is her, Boo, Alex, Lisi and Ed.

Cassandra knows she is a target. At least with me. I bite her.

The big five talk about who to vote off. Lisi wants to vote off Liliana instead of Cassandra, saying she is the biggest threat. Alex says to keep Liliana because Cassandra is weaker. The girls want Liliana. Alex says she deserves to stay. I agree. She makes for some good eating.

This is intriguing, more exciting than anything that’s gone on in this fat camp before. So I tag along to Tribal Council. It’s all dark and scarey, with well-placed firelight. The fat tribe gets torches for the first time.

They all miss Gary. Dreamz feels invisible. Lisi calls Dreamz on his little speech about who to vote out. Dreamz defend himself, saying he didn’t want people to go off into little groups. Alex says he’ll vote for what is best for the tribe. Liliana brings strength to the tribe and works hard with the guys. Cassandra sucks up to Liliana.

I’m getting dizzy. I’ll snack on Jeff while everyone votes.

Liliana votes for Cassandra. Lisi votes for Liliana. Cassandra votes for Lisi.

My snack tallies the votes and Liliana goes home with six of the eight votes. She is shocked and says, “If they didn’t get me out now I was gonna beat ‘em.”

I am exhausted. I think maybe I’ll sleep here at Tribal Council and go visit the loser tribe tomorrow morning. Or maybe the fat tribe. I hear that they begin to fracture as tribe. And that Yau Man starts looking for the immunity idol. And that maybe Rocky and Earl fight. Or maybe it’s just a challenge. You’d better watch next time to find out.
