You know how last season of Survivor had an insane amount of no rain at all? Well this season is getting rain. Rain, rain, rain. It’s Day 7, and trees are falling down in the wind, waves are crashing, like, really hard, and I have sand in my eyes just looking at the television. So how’s the beauty tribe looking? Heh. It’s really, really hard not being able to suntan on the beach or lollygag in the ocean. They’re soaking wet, freezing cold, and definitely a far cry from beautiful. But one of them is smarter than he looks, and he goes in search of the hidden Immunity Idol along the rocks, where Morgan was poking around on the first day of the game. And he finds it, and good for you, guy whose name I don’t know yet.

Tree mail! The brains hope for a meditation challenge, but it’s a maze involving buckets of water, and winning a better shelter. Despite having practically no rice left, they cook lots and lots of rice in an effort to bulk up for the challenge. Then, they practice tossing water back-and-forth, which is stupid.

So it’s buckets of water onto a teeter-totter and a vertical maze. The prize for the first to finish is comfort and shelter, including pillows and a tarp. The prize for second place is just the tarp. Naturally, the brains are in last place. Well, at least they’ll be able to get rid of J’Tia. Beauty finishes the bucket portion of the challenge first, followed by brawn. But brawn pulls ahead and wins immunity and the big reward, leaving beauty to battle brains. In a moment of Immunity Challenge Magik, the brain tribe wins immunity and reward. So brains really are good for something. Huh.

Tony is the only one on the brawn tribe who figures out that there’s a clue in the comfort items. Because he already has the Immunity Idol, he pockets the clue so that no one else can have it. I don’t know. I would’ve just enjoyed watching them scurry around the beach, wasting energy.

The beauty tribe is trying to sort out who to send home. The men are targeting the women, but someone named Morgan thinks Alexis shouldn’t go home, and then there’s someone named Jefra, who I thought was a dude? No? What about Morgan? That could go either way. And there’s an LJ, which is even more confusing. If you’re going to vote along gender lines, at least have easily to categorize names, please! Somehow, two people are voting for Morgan, and two people are voting for Brice, and if nobody produces an idol, something else happens.

Brice, Morgan, and Alexis all feel vulnerable at Tribal Council. One-by-one, the pretty people cast their votes like the cool kids in the cafeteria deciding who gets to share their chocolate chunk cookies with the head cheerleader. It’s a three-way, but not the fun kind. There are two votes each for Alexis, Morgan, and Brice. In the re-vote, Brice is sent home.

Next week, the brawn tribe considers throwing the challenge to thin the herd.
