Older Men, Day 4.
Terry looking at the weather. Shane whining about missing his kid. There is no reason for me to be doing this. I make more than enough money, I dont know why I did this.
Cut to Probst. Tribes coming in to area.
JP: Your first look at the group of new older women. Tina voted out at the last tribal council. Allright, lets get to it. Everybody take a spot on the disks. Men on the light disks. Women on the dark disks. "
JP: Everybody take a step back, turn over your disk. You see a buff, pick it up. Terry, take a spot over here to the left (orange buff). Danielle, over here to the right (purple buff)."
NOTE: These are the team captains. I'm sure I need to tell you idiots that.
Four tribes are about to become two tribes (cap of Bruce showing surprise). Terry, youre the first member of La Mina. Danielle, youre the first member of Casaya. Were gonna do a schoolyard pick. Doesnt matter who goes first, because a man has to pick a woman, woman has to pick a man, therefore, ladies first. Danielle, youre choosing a man.
Danielle: "The cool guy with the Boston tattoo." (Shane)
JP throws a bag of buffs to Shane, tells him to get rid of his old one and put the new one on.
JP: Terry, youre picking a woman
Terry: K, uh, green sweats.
JP: Sally, heres the buffs. (throws buffs to Sally) Shane, youre picking a woman.
Shane: uh, you right there, mumble mumble
JP: Courtney, now a member of Casaya. Sally, picking a guy.
Sally: Ill pick the fast guy. John Deere hat.
JP: Austin becomes a member of La Mina. Courtney...
Courtney: Red shirt.
JP: Aras." Aras: deep sigh of relief. "Youre on a tribe.
JP: Austin.
Austin: Im gonna go with Exile Island over there.
JP: Misty becomes a member of La Mina. Aras, youre choosing a woman.
Aras: Cirie.
JP: Cirie becomes a member of Casaya. Misty.
Misty: Nick.
JP: Nick becomes a member of La Mina. Cirie, your choice, youre choosing a man.
Cirie:This guy right here.
JP: Bobby joins Casaya. Nick, your choice, youre choosing a woman.
Nick: The lady in the pink tank top.
JP: Ruth Marie becomes a member of La Mina. Bobby, your choice has already been made for ya.
Bobby: Melinda." Joins Casaya.
JP: "Okay, only one choice left. So Ruth Marie you are in effect choosing your last tribe member and telling one of these guys, nobody wants them on the tribe.
Ruth Marie: This young man right here. (Dan)
JP: Dan goes to La Mina. Okay. So, that leaves you Bruce. How tough would it be four days in to be going home?
Bruce: Uh, I would be really disappointed because I came here to win.
JP: Well, not only are you not going home, you out of all 15, are the only person guaranteed to be safe at the next tribal council.
Bruce screams: "Yeah, Baby! Woooo!"
JP: The next three days youre going youre going to be spending on Exile Island. You wont return back to this game until the next Tribal Council and which point you will sit in and listen. After that tribe has voted somebody out, you will replace that person as the new member of that tribe and be back in this game. In addition, theres still a hidden immunity idol that may or may not be out there. Theoretically, Misty could already have it.
Bruce: Im ready for this.
JP: Well go. Boats out there. Well have flint waiting for you so you can make fire.
Bruce walks off. All clap for him and say Go Bruce. Yay for Bruce!
JP: "Okay, two tribes. La Mina, in the orange. Casaya wearing purple. Shall we get to todays Reward Challenge? In todays challenge, you are going to race through an obstacle course, collecting six wooden snakes along the way. One member of your tribe is responsible for carrying all six snakes throughout the entire course. On my go you will make your way to the first station, where you will collect your first two snakess. Youll crawl under a fence and over a 12 foot A-frame wall. Make your way under the bamboo crawl, grab two more snakes. You now have one person carrying four snakes. Youll then go across a wooden ladder bridge. If you fall off the bridge you gotta go back the start and go again. For the last phase: Go through the water and into a pit of leaves, where you must find the last two snakes. First tribe to cross the finish line with all six snakes wins reward."
"Want to know what youre playing for?"
Uh, no, Jeff, we don't. Duh.
Uncovers the table beside him showing ..
JP: Fishing gear. Oohs and aahs from the tribes. In addition, waiting for you at camp, one raft, four paddles to go with it. Should help you trying to get some food. Worth playing for? Allright, take our spots, well get started.
Tribes line up at the start.
Part 2 tomorrow. Noonish.
