One word to describe tonight's episode of Survivor: Samoa: Rained-out. Rain affected everything from the challenges to strategy.

Reward challenge: Seafood smoothies! At stake: steaks!

The Survivors got to eat...

Giant Clam and Jeff's Choice (Octopus, Sea Snail) with noni juice
Jellyfish with milk
Sea Cucumber and Giant Clam with milk
Sea Urchin with sea noodle garnish
Sea Slug Guts with water

Yum!

Ashley bails in the end throwing up on the slug guts for Foa Foa and Galu wins. Unfortunately, the manipulative hand of production is in play once again as one member of the Galu tribe gets to go to Foa Foa to look for the Hidden Immunity Idol. How come that didn't happen last episode? I see a fix.

Dreads Russell sends Shambo to Foa Foa, and Shambo is pissed since she wanted some meat.

Galu:

Dave and Dreads Russell having some conflict over fire. Dreads Russell's ego will do him in for sure. He's one of those guys just begging to be blindsided.

Foa Foa:

Shambo shared all the clues to the Hidden Immunity Idol! Then when she couldn't find it when the clues were so obvious, it becomes evident to everyone that someone already has it. Liz suspects either Ben or Evil Russell has it -- but since Ben did not use it when he was eliminated she deduced it was Evil Russell. Unfortunately, she discussed it with him and she got the ire of Evil Russell. "You want to go next?" Evil Russell threatens her point blank. Sheesh.

Galu:

Rain. Everyone is miserable. Regretting taking blankets a couple of episodes ago. Oh yeah, that was Dreads Russell's fault because he was trying to make Yasmin happy. She got eliminated last week.

Immunity Challenge:

Some coconut thing in the rain. Shambo got a cold reception from her tribe.

Even if the tribe members participating were still equal, Foa Foa can't make it work. The protein-fed Galu tribe wins again.

Foa Foa:

Rain hampering the politicking in the tribe as they were crowded into one bunch all the time. E. Russell can't scheme to get Liz out, LOL. The tribe agrees to just go with their gut come Tribal Council.

But they were mostly in agreement. Everyone voted for Ashley except for her friend Natalie.

Foa Foa has 5 members left! It's over for these guys. It would take a miracle. I don't think Evil Russell's Immunity Idol will save him. Their only hope is a Galu implosion like what happened last season.
