CBS ~ Survivor Redemption Island ~ Episode 7

Both of Russell's girls are now out of the game along with him. Hopefully, somebody nice will win. We sure have had our share of cuckoo birds over the years and this is no exception.

The duel was between Stephanie and Matt at Redemption Island. They had to play a simplified game of concentration. Each had the opportunity to turn over two slates with pictures on the other side. If the two pictures matched; they got a point. First to reach five matches won and Matt took the prize again. Before Stephanie left, she told Rob to be careful because they would go after him the way they went after Russell. Phillip is plotting against Rob because he knew that they found a clue in the reward last week and tried to keep if from him.

The immunity/reward challenge faced the two teams against each other in a race to an obstacle course where each had to retrieve a bag of balls at the end of the obstacles. When they got the end they had to break through brick walls then shoot all six balls into a basketball net to win a picnic with all kinds of delicious treats where they would be taken by helicopter to the top of an active volcano. Once again Ometepe won and now they have to send another person to Redemption Island. Ometepe just loved the picnic and stuffed their faces with yummy treats and sandwiches and beverages.

At tribal council Jeff let them know that since they threw the challenge to oust Russell; they have lost three in a row. Now they are a group of non-cohesive teammates. It was obvious that David and Sarita were targets at tribal council and after the votes were counted; Sarita was voted to Redemption Island.
