Survivor 8: All Star - Episode 8 (Its business, not personal)

REWARD CHALLENGE: LOG JAM
As the tribes assembled for the Challenge, host Jeff Probst explained that this competition would be a log roll. One at a time, members from each tribe would square off, man vs. man and woman vs. woman. The first person to hit the water would be out, and the winner would earn a point. The first tribe to earn five points would win the reward. Chapera would win Mogo Mogo's grill, one bag of their rice and their Hawaiian sling. Mogo Mogo would win Chapera's blanket and parachute, as well as their tarp.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON
When the tribes reconvened for an Immunity Challenge, Jeff Probst explained that this would be a target Challenge involving numerous weapons. The first would be a blowgun, followed by a spear, and finally, one member from each tribe would match up against each other with a bow an arrow for Immunity. The amount of arrows each tribe member would be allotted would be determined by the blowgun and spear rounds. When all the arrows are gone, the player to hit closest to center wins immunity for the tribe.

The blow guns didn't hit much as Mogo Mogo's Jerri Manthey, the 33-year-old tribe member of SURVIVOR: THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK from Stuttgart, Germany, was the only castaway to even hit the target. The All-Stars didn't do much better with the spears, as Lex had a chance to give his tribe a huge advantage by landing his spear closer to the target than Rupert's, but he couldn't do it.

In the final, decisive round, Chapera chose Boston Rob to be their marksman while Jerry volunteered for Mogo Mogo. Each was given three arrows, and the arrow that hit closest to the center of the target would win. But it only took one: Boston Rob hit the target once, while Jerry couldn't hit it at all. Once again, Mogo Mogo had lost Immunity.

ANOTHER TRIBAL COUNCIL FOR MOGO MOGO
Crushed, the Mogo Mogo tribe returned to camp with the unenviable task of choosing whom to send home. Lex immediately took the lead by assembling an alliance in order to vote out Ethan. In an unprecedented move, Lex then told Ethan that he was going to be voted out. As a friend, Lex thought Ethan should know that it was "only business." Angry, Ethan didn't take it well as he tried to put together an alliance on the fly in order to vote out Jerri.

In the end, business defeated friendship as Ethan's alliance didn't take, and his torch was extinguished after the four-to-one vote

Voted out: Ethan Zohn
10 Cast Away Remaining
