Survivor Palau: Episode 10
Welcome back to Burnett's personal torture island. Janu, who thought she was going home, doesn't seem happy and everyone knows it. When Katie begins to gossip about her, Janu overhears and a confrontation erupts. The reward challenge pits two randomly chosen teams of four against each other to build a tower in the water. The reward is a Palau feast. SuperTom carries his team toward reward and Janu seems almost hysterically happy to have won. Flash forward to the middle of the feast, when Janu starts barfing. The winning team returns to the tribe with some small bits of dessert. Suddenly Janu gets her appetite back and eats some of the food that her winning team brought back for the other part of the tribe. Girlie is not making points here.The immunity challenge involves hanging in the water holding onto a set of bars and having the bars slowly lower and the water rise over you. The first to bail out has to live alone for the evening. Janu is first to bail after a mere six minutes and the team laughs at her expense. After an hour with the water rising over their faces, people began to bail out and Tom wins again.
On Loser Island, Janu struggles to make fire but perseveres and finds there is joy in being alone. She returns to the tribe blissed out and the fact that she is happier seems to make people angry. It should be Janu's time to go but Stephenie feels like they are out for her instead.
Jeff does his usual tribal roundup and Janu says she feels unwanted and Tom and Rick say that they are voting for who might be a threat and Stephenie hangs her head. Janu admits she wants to go home. Stephenie loses her cool and breaks down, admitting that she knows she might go and really wants to stay and feels that the team should let Janu go. Jeff keeps prodding the team who are clearly gunning for Stephenie until Janu decides to lay down her torch saving Stephenie. Stephenie smiles her cat smile at jury member Coby making me wonder if the tears were all for show.
Next week: Stephenie organizes a women's revolt.
