One World Episode 2: Breasts In Show

Michael snoops around the girls camp with Leif to find out what happened at tribal council, and is "annoyed" to find out they all came back. He also claims to have been tending the fire, making designated fire tender Kat give a really stupid confessional designed to show up how little she knows.

Christina and Alicia decide to make up, for the sake of group harmony. Clearly Alicia still does not seem to think much of her though, saying she'd look the other way if she was drowning. Harsh. Chelsea wants to appoint a tribe leader, and it is then agreed that Sabrina should take the role. As Sabrina starts giving out other roles, Tarzan walks by in his underwear. Gross! Nina, who I forgot to mention got her face smashed in after the first challenge, says she doesn't like Kat's immaturity and high energy.

Wanna know what you're playing for? Some clothes!
Next, the tribes go off and find crates to be used for a reward challenge. Wow, a reward challenge for the first time in three seasons! They are told to take them to "a neutral location". Bill reads out the note and finds they have a do-it-yourself challenge. I guess Probst couldn't be bothered to turn up. It involves untangling a mess of ropes and finding a ring. Colton takes over the Jeff role. It's a surprisingly quick challenge that the guys predictably win, claiming themselves a tarp. Colton didn't even celebrate the win with the boys.

The Colton tribe: The outcast swings alone
When the guys get back to camp, they set to work building their new shelter. All except Colton, who is doing nothing - and Michael has noticed. Colton doesn't feel a part of the guy's tribe, so he goes over to spend time with the girls. The girls don't want him either and Sabrina has to call fake meetings to get rid of him. He makes a tearful plea for acceptance, claiming it's nothing to do with strategy, but Kim diplomatically explains it's not a sensible option for their tribe to have him around.

Manono seem to be encouraging Tarzan's wild attention seeking, as he dances around the fire. Colton shows his idol to Troyzan and Jonas, who are shocked. Jonas seems to be wildly overestimating Colton, who earlier compared him to Russell. With Leif on board too, they form a misfit alliance to take out the meatheads. Although Colton appears to just be using it for the time being until he can get some girls on his side. Either way, he's gone from early boot to power player. Who'da thunk it?

Touchy feely in the immunity challenge
The immunity is water-based and involves climbing past your tribemates on a balance beam. The women get off to a bad start when Kat can't get past Monica's boobs. Leif is the first one to cross for the men. Colton and Jonas also get past before the women even have one. Kat is struggling, Christina is struggling, Kat doesn't understand the rules of the challenge and keeps jumping in for no reason. Monica decides to have a go and actually makes it across. Unfortunately that's as good as it gets for the women and the guys win in a blowout. Nina is pissed. Chelsea comments on how hard it is because of boobs. Um, ok.

Kat is consoled by her tribe for trying her best, but Nina is still mad at the "dumb blonde" who blew the challenge for them. Even though Nina knows she's not in the dominant alliance, she appeals to Chelsea to keep her and vote Kat out instead just to keep the tribe strong. Chelsea is really considering it and talks it over with Kim. The pair aren't sure if breaking the trust this early is a good idea, though.

Hisssssssssss
At tribal council, Jeff Probst berates the women for their poor performance. Nina has a lot to say and basically lays it all out there - she's a former cop, she brings far more to the table in terms of life experience than Kat. Chelsea and Sabrina both admit that if they could start over they'd choose a different alliance. Ouch, Kat is really taking a beating here. The poor girl breaks down and almost cries after admitting the challenge loss was her fault and she's not used to failing. The girls stick with their alliance and vote out Nina, and Christina and Monica join in too, scared of pissing off the women. Come to think of it, wasn't Christina fairly well-established last week as the next boot? What changed? Because she wasn't much use in the challenges either. Oh well, it'll probably take a miracle for Salani to recover now. Or, yknow, a tribe swap.

STAR OF THE WEEK: MONICA CULPEPPER
Monica is a badass. She may be 40 but she doesn't look or act it. She was the only one to complete the challenge for the girls and is perhaps their only shining light of hope. Why do all my favorites have to be in bad positions?
