Survivor 8 All Stars: Episode 5 (Bamboozled)

MAKE IT FLOAT, MAKE IT SWIFT
As day thirteen dawned, all three tribes were surprised to find a pile of bamboo poles at their camps. They were instructed to use the bamboo to build a raft that would be crucial for an upcoming Reward Challenge.

REWARD CHALLENGE: SHIPWRECKED RAFT RESCUE
As the tribes assembled for a Reward Challenge, host Jeff Probst explained that this competition would involve using the newly constructed rafts to rescue two tribemates, then paddle out to a buoy to grab a flag, race to shore, run up the beach and cross the finish line. The winning tribe would win fishing hooks and a fishing spear as well as a clue to their lock box.

The tribes were taken aback when they heard the third part of the reward, which involved dissolving the losing tribe into the two others. Members of the losing tribe would be recruited schoolyard-style, with the winning tribe receiving the first pick.

New Mogo Mogo Tribe - Jerry and Ethan was absorbed

New Chapera Tribe - Rupert and Jenna L was absorbed.

MMUNITY CHALLENGE: PILFERING PIRATES
As the castaways reconvened for an Immunity Challenge, Jeff Probst explained that they would race across long balance beams in order to retrieve their tribe-colored flags. When two castaways from opposing tribes met in the middle, they would have to battle it out, with the first to fall into the pool of water below losing. The first tribe to get twenty of their flags back to the starting area would win Immunity.




ALLIANCE SHUFFLE AT MOGO MOGO
As the losing Mogo Mogo tribe returned to camp, the lobbying about who would go home heated up. The original plan was to vote Ethan out, due to his status as a previous winner. However, Colby quickly changed his mind, deciding Richard must go because of his arrogance and deception. In an act of revenge, Jerri tried to recruit an alliance on the fly in order to vote off Colby. The scramble to Tribal Council was fast and furious, with no tribe member secure with their position in the game.

In the end, the Mogo Mogo tribe came together in unison to vote off the first-ever winner of Survivor by sending home Richard Hatch in a six-to-one decision.Voted off - Richard Hatch

REWARD CHALLENGE: MATCHMAKER
When the tribes assembled for a Reward Challenge, host Jeff Probst explained that it would be a competition involving memory. Each castaway would receive a box containing four items. The goal was for each Survivor to match an item from their box to an item in another castaway's box. The tribe scoring the most matches would win a badly needed "Survival Bathroom," consisting of a shower, toilet, mouthwash, shampoo, soap, toilet paper, toothbrushes and toothpaste. In addition, the first and second place tribes would get another clue that would help open their lock box of rice.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: BLIND LEADING THE BLIND
As the tribes reconvened for the Immunity Challenge, Jeff Probst explained that the tribes would be blindfolded while guided by a "sighted" tribemate to locate pieces to a large three-dimensional cube puzzle. After they brought all the pieces back to a "solving area," the players must then remove their blindfolds and assemble the cube puzzle. The first tribe to successfully complete their puzzle would win, while the last to complete the puzzle must make the terrible trip to Tribal Council.


When the comedy of errors was finished, the tribes battled in a close race to finish the puzzle. Saboga placed the final piece of their puzzle first, giving them their first Immunity Challenge victory and leaving Chapera and Mogo Mogo in a fierce battle to avoid Tribal Council.

In the end, Mogo Mogo clicked their last puzzle piece into place just in time to beat Chapera, thus sending Chapera to their first Tribal Council of SURVIVOR: ALL-STARS.

ONE CHAPERA MUST GO
As losing tribe Chapera returned to camp, questions arose as to which member would be sent home. Rob C., Alicia and Susan Hawk, the 42-year-old SURVIVOR: BORNEO castaway from Las Vegas, Nevada, were all on the chopping block. The romantic alliance between Amber and Boston Rob seemed to be in control. Easing Rob C.'s fears was the offer of an alliance from Rob M. After they shook hands, Rob C. expressed his skepticism, "I don't know how good Boston Rob's word is…"

Boston Rob's word wasn't that good after all, as Rob Cesternino fell victim to a five-to-one rout and watched his torch extinguished along with his hopes and dreams of winning SURVIVOR: ALL-STARS.

Survivor 8 All Star: Episode 3 (Shark Attack!)

MAN BITES SHARK
While fishing for rays, Mogo Mogo castaway Richard Hatch, the 42-year-old winner of SURVIVOR: BORNEO from Middletown, Rhode Island, came across a shark. Hatch, never one to back down in a confrontation, engaged the shark in a fierce battle. After the shark had bitten him, Richard Hatch responded by actually biting the shark back. When he returned to camp, his tribemates couldn't believe it. "Richard Hatch is a fishing God!" exclaimed Shii Ann Huang, the 30-year-old All-Star of SURVIVOR: THAILAND from New York City, New York.


REWARD CHALLENGE: BETTER HOMES & ISLAND LIVING
When they checked their Tree Mail, the tribes were surprised to find a box filled with tools from Home Depot. As the Tree Mail explained, this was all part of a Reward Challenge. Using the tools provided, each tribe had 24 hours to build a home at their camp. When the 24 hours had elapsed, host Jeff Probst would bring a judge to rate each home on size, strength and creativity. The winning tribe would receive a surprise Reward, airdropped into their camp, as well as a clue to the location of a key to one of the locks on their mystery box. The second-place tribe would also receive a clue to the location of a key to one of the locks on their own mystery box.

Chapera Won the challenge
NO IMMUNITY CHALLENGE OR TRIBAL COUNCIL
As the tribes convened for an Immunity Challenge, Jenna Morasca shocked the other castaways by pulling herself out of the game. In an extremely emotional speech, Jenna explained that she had made a bad judgment by becoming an All-Star, and that she was needed at home.

Jeff Probst then announced that both the Immunity Challenge and Tribal Council would be cancelled because Jenna Morasca would be leaving the game. Jenna bade a tearful goodbye to all the castaways, then boarded the boat for the first leg of her journey home to her mother. Eight days after Jenna returned home, her mother lost her battle with cancer.

Quit: Jenna Morasca
15 Survivors Remaining

Survivor 8 All Star: Episode 1 (They're Back)

Mogo Mogo Tribe (Lex, Jenna M, Colby, Shiian, Richard, Cathy)
Saboga (Rudy, Jerry, Rupert, Ethan, Jenna L, Tina)
Chapera (Rob M, Rob C, Alicia, Sue, Tom, Amber)

First Immunity Challenge (With a nod to history, host Jeff Probst explained that this Challenge was the same as the first-ever SURVIVOR Challenge from Borneo. The castaways would start on floating platforms, where they would have to dive down and release their raft from a mooring on the bottom of the ocean floor. They would then have to transport fire torches on their raft to the beach, lighting torches along the way. The first two tribes to light the torches, bring their rafts to the beach and climb under a bamboo crawl would win Immunity)


First Tribe to win Immunity is Chapera

Second Tribe to win Immunity is Mogo Mogo

Voted off from Saboga Tribe - Tina Wesson
