We have only one vote, so here are the results:The remaining Survivors return to Enil Edam. Hope and Matt converse quickly. Hope says, "Well, it looks like for us, it's everyone for themselves." Matt says, "Unless one of us wins Immunity."
"But then, the other person will be the target," Hope points out. "Yeah, but if we hear any talk about getting rid of a strong player amongst the Faves, we've got to get on board with it."
In a confessional which apparently occured the next day, we hear Matt say that he and Hope now have to play the "anybody as long as it isn't us" strategy. Hope just notes that they are desperate.
Brenda, Corinne and Reynold all converse. They want to get rid of Matt but if by some miracle, he wins the Immunity Challenge, they're willing to at least consider getting rid of Malcolm, as he's a bigger threat than the other two, especially Hope.
And now, we move to the Immunity Challenge. Jeff Probst explains the rules. There is a rope wound and curled around a bunch of posts and rails out in the water. The player has to move a little football shaped buoy along the rope until the end.
Then there is a key. The key unlocks a big wooden chest. The chest contains the rungs for the puzzle ladder challenge. Each rung fits in the ladder only one way and in one place. Build the ladder, climb to the top, release your flag and win.
Brenda gets out to an early lead. Andrea, Malcolm and Matt are doing well also. Next are Corinne and Reynold, with Hope in last. Brenda and Matt wind up leading but Matt gets through the rope first, with Malcolm in second.
To get to the key, there are knots. Matt is first to get done with his knot, followed by Brenda. Malcolm is really having a hard time with the knots as Hope shows up at the rope untying.
The ladder must be built from the bottom to the top. Every piece is unique and fits only one way in one specific place. Matt and Brenda are first to work on their ladder, followed by Andrea, Corinne, Reynold, Hope and finally Malcolm.
It comes down to Brenda and Matt and:
Probst: Matt wins Immunity! (Matt jumps into the air. Hope looks scared now. Probst hands over the Immunity necklace to Matt.) Matt, you have Immunity and are safe from the vote. The rest of you aren't so lucky and one of you will be joining Cochran, Julia and Michael on the jury. You have the rest of the day to strategize. Head back to camp and I'll see you at Tribal.
A jubilant Matt leads the way back to Enil Edam.

Okay, Matt won Immunity and now Hope and Malcolm are on the chopping block -- Hope because she's a Fan and Malcolm because he's a challenge threat. I want you to decide which one of them joins Michael, Cochran and Julia on the jury. I'll take votes until tomorrow at the latest, so please vote!
