Back at camp, Enil Edamers of all stripes are scheming hot and heavy all afternoon. The old Bikals talk it over from all angles, and Cochran reminds them, "I know for a fact Reynold has an idol. I've heard that from three of you and also from Eddie from.their side. I think Eddie might be who we should target from their side. He's the biggest physical threat they have, and surely to goodness they'll have some physical IC's coming up." He is careful not to mention that he fears Eddie will tell the rest of the Fans that Andrea has a HII. In fact Eddie DID spill the beans about Andrea's idol, but the Fans weren't after her anyway. Several of them suggest booting Cochran, because he knows the game cold, but Eddie says to several of them, out of Reynold's hearing, "Screw that, that skinny twerp CAN'T keep winning challenges forever. Let's target Corinne. Reynold likes her, most of the Faves hate her, and I doubt like hell they'll be expecting us to target her. Should be an easy boot." The two factions and various subfactions politick all afternoon, and when they arrive at TC, nobody really knows who's voting for who and who knows what.

Probst stirs the t#rds as usual, and with dry, cloudless weather for once he keeps at it for over 2 hours. He sows a lot of nervousness, but he changes nobody's minds. No HII are played, and when the votes are counted, Cochran gets one, Reynold gets one, and Eddie and Corinne get 5 each. On the revote, Eddie still gets 5, and in fear of the purple rock Reynold throws Corinne under the bus, as does Andrea, and she gets voted out 7-5. Probst does NOT announce her as the first member of the jury, leading to raised eyebrows from several surviving castaways.
