Day Eleven

Mablevi Tribe
After clobbering in the immunity challenge last night, spirits were high at the Mablevi camp. The guys felt closer than ever, and they weren’t so worried anymore. They knew that they may lose another challenge, but they didn’t care. They won so hugely at the fishing game that they felt they would never lose hope again. Dirks and Wells and Trotman and Wilson were still in pairs, but they were still a very close tribe on day 11.

Takiyah Tribe
Takiyah really didn’t expect to lose the challenge last night, and the guys were pretty bummed about it. Cowin particularly felt very bad about voting Trevor out, because they had been pretty close throughout the game. It was done and over with however, and he stuck with Pitman (who was very grateful). Although they lost, the 4 members of Takiyah (Pitman, Cowin, Cameron and Wylie) felt that they could take this alliance to the final four. The realized that they would be joining with other Pickering guys after the merge, but they would take this group of 4 as far as it could go.

Runako Tribe
Only losing one out the first 10 immunity challenges was helping Runako to be very confident in themselves. They just barely came second last night, but they were excited nonetheless. There were still problems as the campsite however. Hackett was continually spending more and more time by himself fishing and such. This was having quite an effect on the tribe as whole, because most guys were trying to get closer with the tribe members (to ensure their safety), but Hackett didn’t seem to care. This could come back to haunt him, but he’s still not annoying like Damien.

Immunity Challenge
One member will carry a pole on his shoulders and the other three will continually run and fill and place full buckets of water on both sides of the pole. Whatever tribe gets the least amount of buckets on their tribemate’s shoulder pole will be heading to tribal council. Mablevi and Takiyah choose Jones to sit out from Runako, and Runako willingly sits out Hackett.

Mablevi: Wells (Pole)
Takiyah: Cameron (Pole)
Runako: Ryan (Pole)
Results are based on strength of the pole guy, and speed of the other 3.
Mablevi: 30 buckets
Takiyah: 41 buckets
Runako: 23 buckets

Runako before Tribal Council
Before heading to only its second Tribal Council, the members of Runako were all freaking out about who they were going to vote out. Silas, Jones and Ryan felt pretty safe, but the other three knew one of them was going home. This feeling was intensified when Hackett told Ryan to “F off” because Ryan was complaining about the fish Hackett caught. The only chance for those guys (Hackett, Damien, Clarke) would be to ally together, but there was little chance of that… That is until Clarke spoke to Damien and Hackett together. They knew that the main 3 would vote them out one at a time, and that the only way to survive would be to vote out one of Silas, Jones or Ryan. The meeting went well overall.

Tribal Council
1st vote: Hackett
2nd vote: Hackett
3rd vote: Ryan
4th vote: Hackett
5th vote: Ryan
6th vote: Ryan
There is of course a tie. Now both Ryan and Hackett will be required to build a fire. The person’s fire that reaches the wick hanging above will be safe for another day. The other person will be going home.

After a long time of frustrating fire building (due to the wind) Ryan’s flame lights the wick. So unfortunately Hackett is the eleventh person voted out of Survivor Hamilton.
