Survivor 8 All Stars: Episode 6 (Sue Hawk goes home)

A TOUGH NIGHT FOR SUSAN
Over at Chapera, Susan became increasingly angry and depressed over an event that occurred during a previous challenge. As Susan withdrew emotionally, her tribe mates became concerned. "She couldn't control her anger. It's really hard to try to console somebody who feels that way," reasoned Alicia Calaway, the 35-year-old castaway of SURVIVOR: THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK from Trumbull, Connecticut.


REWARD CHALLENGE: TRIBAL STOMPEDE
As the tribes assembled for a Reward Challenge, host Jeff Probst asked Susan about the incident at the previous challenge that had angered her. Susan's answer stunned the castaways as she exploded in a fit of rage and tears that ended with her swift departure from the game.

Shaken but not broken, the tribes chose to go on with the Reward Challenge instead of sharing the prize. Jeff explained that this Challenge would involve using a balance beam in order to stomp food items into the air with the goal being to land the items in a basket. The first tribe to land all their items into their basket would win the reward of shish kabobs and a grill. The winning tribe would also receive all the items that were launched into the basket, which included sugar, coffee and various spices.

The Challenge lifted off with a Chapera lead as Big Tom landed his bag into the basket on the first try. However, new Chapera member, Jenna, gave away the advantage as she struggled greatly. Opening up a large lead, Mogo Mogo hit basket after basket, while Jenna was still unsuccessful.

Despite a final run at the lead, Chapera could only watch as Lex nailed the final basket, which brought home the food for Mogo Mogo.

TALK OF THE TOWN
As the triumphant tribe returned to camp, they enjoyed a feast of filet mignon kabobs. Discussion then ensued as to Sue Hawk's tantrum-ridden departure. "I know she went through a lot; still, you've got to learn how to contain your emotions. I was really offended," remarked Kathy.

The talk of Sue's departure was also on the forefront at Chapera, where the tribe agreed to stick together till the end. The next day, the tribe shared a moment for Sue, which turned into a roaring rendition of "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead," but not everyone at Chapera was amused. "I know Tom and Sue didn't get along, but his insensitivity in doing the 'Sue's Gone' dance I think is pretty crummy," noted Alicia.

Due to Susan's sudden departure, there was no Tribal Council.
