It's a brand-new day and again, there is only one vote, so I have to post the results:

Brandon the Crazy is relieved that Phillip the Delusional was voted out. He says that he would have gone insane to be with Phillip for even three more days, let alone 30-odd ones!

Cochran has a confessional where he reveals that he would rather have kept Phillip the Delusional as a goat but Dawn was getting tired of his antics and was really agreeing with Francesca's push to get rid of Phillip, so Cochran went along with the plan.

Corinne's ankle is feeling better. Malcolm is happy about that, but is more interested in flirting with Andrea. Andrea is playing along. Corinne is becoming jealous.

Brenda has formed an alliance with Erik the Idiot and Francesca and is planning to use them as goats -- if they last long enough to avoid being outnumbered at the merge. But she could use another ally to gain control in her own tribe, so she sees Corinne's jealousy and uses it in an attempt to pull Corinne into her alliance.

Meanwhile, at Gota, Shamar is becoming awfully lazy and although his allies are putting up with him, none of them are too happy with him. Julia says that although Shamar does do some work around camp, he doesn't do nearly enough! Yet, she, Laura, Matt, Michael and Sherri all need him until they have decimated the lovebirds (Allie, Reynold, Eddie and Hope).

We then see Julia, Laura, and Sherri talking. They're making plans on what to do when they get to Tribal Council. They think that they have to get rid of either Allie or Hope, depending upon who is the weaker of the two. Right now, it seems to be Allie.

Back at Bikal, Brandon the Crazy realizes that people aren't aligning with him! Cochran and Dawn are aligned, Andrea and Malcolm are aligned and Brenda, Erik the Idiot and Francesca are aligned. He tries to approach Corinne, as she is the only one who does not seem to be aligned with anyone, but she is reluctant to do so.

In a confessional, we find out why Corinne doesn't want to align with Brandon the Crazy: he goes from huge rage to sweetness at the drop of a hat.

And we get a glimpse of this when Brandon the Crazy can't find one of his socks! He is convinced that Cochran or Malcolm stole one of his socks and rants and raves at them, tearing through their stuff and basically overturning everything!

However, Brandon the Crazy feels genuine remorse when he finally finds his sock -- it was simply misplaced. He apologizes to Cochran and Malcolm but while they both accept his apology, they converse about getting rid of Brandon as soon as possible!

The next day, we see Jeff Probst on a beach. There's a quick glimpse of a shark cage out in the water with a life ring inside. We see both the Fans and the Faves approach the beach.

Probst: Come on in, Fans! (The Fans enter and prepare to see which Fave is gone.) Come on in, guys! (The Faves begin their approach.) Gota getting their first look at the new Bikal. Phillip voted out at the last Tribal Council. Michael, how do you feel about them voting out Phillip?

Michael: The Faves clearly came to play.

Probst then reveals that it's an Immunity Challenge. Three members from each tribe will race to a raft. Three more members will pull a rope that takes the raft to a platform further out in the water.

The three on the rafts then jump in the water and dive down to the shark cage. One swimmer at a time. There are nine life rings in the cage. They are held there by long sticks threaded through the cage.

Pulling out the sticks will release the rings. When all the rings are up and on the raft, the three on shore will pull it all in. THEN, the remaining three tribe members will, one at a time, use the life rings like giant quoits, trying to get ringers on posts.

One ring on each of three posts, wins immunity. And to go with the immunity, the winner gets a complete Survivor fishing kit including mask, fins, net, line, hooks, Hawaiian sling … the works. As Jeff says, they already have a boat.

The Fans choose to sit out Laura. Andrea, Brenda and Erik the Idiot go on the rafts for the Faves while Hope, Julia and Sherri go on the rafts for the Fans. Brandon the Crazy, Francesca and Malcolm are pulling for the Faves while Eddie, Reynold and Shamar do the pulling for the Fans. This leaves Cochran, Corinne and Dawn to toss the rings for the Faves and Allie, Matt and Michael to toss for the Fans.

Brandon the Crazy has Erik the Idiot on his raft and his raft falls slightly behind the other two, but otherwise it's a pretty even match-up with the Fans. However, things go off the rails for the Faves when it's time to toss the rings. Corinne winds up somehow overshooting, so:

Probst: Fans win Immunity and Reward! (The Fans cheer and hug.) Faves, it's another date with me for Tribal Council and someone will be going home tonight!

The Fans take their fishing kit and head off in celebration while the Faves head off in total defeat.

****************************************************************************************

Okay, the Fans have avoided a date with Jeff Probst at Tribal Council. Now I want you to decide which one of them will find the Hidden Immunity Idol -- Allie, Eddie, Hope, Julia, Laura, Matt, Michael, Reynold, Shamar or Sherri. I'll take votes until tomorrow at the latest and the person with the most votes will find the HII.

And I don't want just one vote! I want at least two -- maybe more! So please, vote!
