With one vote (again), here are the results:Back at Gota, the plotting begins. Allie, Eddie, Hope and Reynold are all convinced that Shamar has to go. They point out the fact that he kept missing when it came time to get the extra sections on the bridge and Reynold also points out that Shamar is like Phillip the Delusional -- and they all saw what happened to Phillip.
However, the incipient showmances is the main topic with the other six -- well, with Julia, Laura, Matt, Michael and Sherri, as Shamar is resting. He notes that he got a piece of bamboo in his finger and he just got it out, but he's concerned about the possibility that it might be infected.
Matt and Michael don't want to get rid of Eddie and Reynold because he wants to keep their numerical advantage. Sherri agrees, pointing out that Reynold has the Hidden Immunity Idol so that wouldn't work anyway. But they could try to convince him that he is the target so he can flush it out while targeting the girl that's closest to him, which would be Allie.
Sherri tells Shamar that they will be voting out Reynold, hoping to have him spread the word around and thus misdirect the "cool kids" away from the real target -- Allie. And Shamar plays his part well, taunting Reynold with the fact that he's going home and there's nothing he can do about it.
Reynold and Eddie talk about whether Reynold should use the HII. Eddie suggests that maybe Reynold should use it -- on Allie. He thinks that even if Shamar is saying that Reynold is the target, the others would know that they need Reynold's strength. But Reynold is cocky. He thinks the others are really planning to get rid of Shamar, so he doesn't need to use it on Allie -- or on himself.
Julia, Laura, Matt, Michael and Sherri all talk things over shortly before going to Tribal Council. The plan is to have Shamar vote for Reynold and the rest of them are to vote for Allie. They want to tell Shamar the plan, but they are afraid he'll give the whole plan away at T.C. and they don't want to risk that.
The Fans arrive for their first Tribal Council and Jeff Probst has them light their torches while using the standard spiel about how fire represents life. He then begins by asking the tribe how things were at their tribe. Reynold begins complaining about how lazy Shamar was and how he rested all the time!
When asked about it, Shamar says that he felt so tired all the time, so that was why he rested all the time. He then reveals that the whole tribe knows that Allie, Eddie, Hope and Reynold all hang out together and that they're going after Reynold since they think he is the ringleader.
However, Reynold points out that he helps win challenges for Gota and they need his strength! Also, at least he works hard, unlike Shamar. He also points out that Shamar fouled up the second Reward/Immunity Challenge while Allie and Hope had never really fouled up a challenge!
When Probst asks about whether Allie or Hope feels safe after what Shamar said, Hope says that she doesn't feel safe. Allie, however, thinks that Shamar is so lazy that the others will be happy to get rid of him before turning on her, Eddie, Hope and Reynold.
Probst: It is time to vote. Allie, you're up first.
Allie votes, followed by Eddie and then Hope. Julia holds up a vote for Allie, saying that she likes Allie but Allie picked the wrong side. Laura, Matt and Michael all vote before Reynold holds up a vote for Shamar, saying that he's a waste of space. Shamar returns the favor, saying that Reynold is a ringleader and a threat. Sherri is the last to vote.
Probst: I'll go get the votes. (Allie, Reynold and Shamar are all shown.) If anybody has the Hidden Immunity Idol and you want to play it, now would be the time to do so.
Reynold looks hesitant for an instant, but doesn't move.
Probst: All right. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote ... Reynold. Second vote ... Shamar. One vote Reynold, one vote Shamar. Third vote ... Allie. We're tied. One vote Allie, one vote Reynold, one vote Shamar.
Allie, Reynold and Shamar all look surprised. Hope and Eddie look worried.
Fourth vote ... Allie. (Allie looks concerned now.) Fifth vote ... Shamar. Two votes Allie, two votes Shamar, one vote Reynold. (Reynold looks mad.) Sixth vote ... Allie. Seventh vote ... Shamar. We're tied again. Three votes Allie, three votes Shamar, one vote Reynold. Eighth vote ... Allie. Four votes Allie. NInth vote ... Shamar. Four votes Allie, four votes Shamar, one vote Reynold, one vote left.
Probst pulls it out as Allie and Shamar wait.
Probst: The third person voted out of Survivor: Caramoan ... Allie. Will you bring me your torch?
Allie hugs Reynold, then Eddie and finally Hope before getting up to grab her torch. As she heads over to Probst, Reynold hits his head, seemingly in frustration.
Probst: Allie, the tribe has spoken. (He snuffs Allie's torch.) It's time for you to go. (Allie waves good-bye as she heads out.) Well, you guys chose to keep a strong but lazy guy who apparently lost you a challenge. Let's see how that works out. Grab your torches and head back to camp.
Gota grabs their torches and all head back. In her final words, Allie says that she and Reynold should have listened to Eddie and Hope and have Reynold use his HII on her. She hopes that Shamar soon joins her.

Okay, Allie is gone. Next up is a Reward Challenge. I want you to decide which tribe will win it -- the Fans or the Faves. I'll take votes until tomorrow and the tribe with the most votes will win Reward.
