Big Trek, Big Trouble, Big Surprise Summary

The new castaways are stranded in the unforgiving jungles of Guatemala, left to live inside the Mayan ruins in the new season of Survivor! The tribemates are split up into two tribes automatically and are greeted with a surprise as they approach host Jeff Probst -- two past Survivors are coming back to play the game again and serve as resource tools. Bobby Jon Drinkard from Survivor: Palau joins the Nakum Tribe (wearing yellow), which consists of Brandon Bellinger, Danni Boatwright, Margaret Bobonich, Cindy Hall, Jim Lynch, Judd Sergeant, Brooke Struck and Blake Towsley. Stephenie LaGrossa, also from Palau, steps up for the Yaxha Tribe (wearing blue), which is made up of Gary Hogeboom, Rafe Judkins, Morgan McDevitt, Lydia Morales, Jamie Newtom, Amy O'Hara, Brianna Verela and Brian Corridan. The new teams are set loose to complete an 11-Mile trek through the jungle, with the better campsite and flint at stake. Nakum finishes only moments before Yaxha, but Yaxha seems to come off with the better end of the stick when many Nakum members begin getting sick. The sickness and discomfort for Nakum proves to be an advantage to Yaxha, who wins the Immunity Challenge and sends Nakum to Tribal Council, where they vote Jim out of the tribe.

23rd Sep '05 - 12:00am
Man Down Summary

Both teams struggle to find food, and although Lydia's fishing skills proves an asset for Yaxha and some contestants consider eating ants, all are happy when the Reward Challenge is announced. Nakum wins the tricky game, earning fishing gear for themselves, and earning Blake a title of hero. Back at camp, Judd voices his dislike for Blake's tendencies to rest all day and then come off energized in the challenges. Nakum also wins at the Immunity Challenge, where Danni exposes Gary's secret of being an ex-NFL quarterback. However, he shrugs it off, and while his team is deciding who should go, it does not factor into the matter. On the contrary, Lydia, Morgan, and Stephenie are considered, all for different reasons, but Morgan pays the price for her laziness as she becomes the second person to leave Guatemala.

To Betray or Not to Betray Summary

In a twisted "reward" challenge, four players are sent out for a picnic lunch in the Mayan ruins as their tribemates are shuffled up with members of the opposing tribe. Thus, Yaxha is now composed of four former Nakum members and only three Yaxha members, and the current Nakum is made up of four of each tribe. Upon arriving home from their picnic, Gary, Amy, Judd, and Margaret are shocked to find out about the switch, and all of the survivors scramble to find a new alliance. Although most are drawn on former tribal lines, Judd fits in better with Stephenie and Jamie, and quietly makes a pact with them to turn on his old tribemates. Nakum loses the Immunity Challenge, and at Tribal Council, Judd is forced to act on his new alliance, doing so by being the swing vote and eliminating Brooke from the game.

Crocs, Cowboys and City Slickers Summary

At Nakum camp, Judd and Margaret have a heated debate about Judd's decision to vote with the former Yaxha members. Later, the pressure of a challenge loss falls on Jamie when he, given the responsibility of completing the first of three tasks in the reward challenge, is blown out of the water by Yaxha's Brandon. The reward that he single-handedly loses for his team turns out to be a phenomenal one that allows the winners to actually swim in the ocean - it is a croc-proof deck. While hanging around the deck, the Yaxha tribe begins to grow weary of Blake's fantastical stories and arrogant attitude, and Nakum's constant losses bring Stephenie to tears. Though rather sullen, Nakum pulls through with a win when it comes to the Immunity Challenge, thanks to challenge star Lydia, and at Yaxha's tribal council, Blake's attitude catches up with him as some of his old tribemates turn on him and vote him off of the island.

Big Ball, Big Mouth, Big Trouble Summary

At the challenge, Jeff announces that this week two contestants will be going home, and that the competition would determine which tribe receives reward and gets to participate in a second challenge in which one player is rewarded with individual immunity. The Nakum team members push a giant ball to victory, at one point causing an intense argument between Bobby Jon and Jamie. Yaxha is sent back to their camp while Nakum competes in the second challenge, where Judd inadvertantly helps Rafe secure himself immunity. Back at the Mayan ruins, Judd invites a disagreement when he drinks too many beers, and that comes into account at Tribal Council when the rivalry between he and Margaret comes to a head, resulting in Margaret's elimination. Later, Rafe is given the right to give one of the Yaxha members Immunity, but his choice of Gary turns out to have no impact on the results when everyone votes out Brian.

Nakm panics and falls behind while Yaxh springs ahead and takes the ride of their lives through the Guatemalan jungle. For Dannis birthday, Yaxh invites Nakm over to their camp for a pool part, but Jamie gets rather paranoid about his tribemates making friends with the others. For the Immunity Challenge, the tribes race to unearth pieces of a puzzle, and despite a close competition, Nakm assembles their puzzle first. Back at Yaxh, Amy feels that she is the next to go, but Brandon and Danni, still undecided, try to figure out whether they should off Bobby Jon because Amy is more deserving of the final prize. With Amy and Bobby Jon at risk, the tribe votes out the weaker of the two, Amy. After the reveal, Yaxh is thrown for a loop upon hearing that the two tribes, Yaxh and Nakm, will become one effective immediately.

Price for Immunity Summary

At the end of the auction, the players are shown one last item to bid on - their loved ones. Judd pools his money with some of his tribemates, ensuring him time with his wife (and giving him the opportunity to pick two other players and their loved ones to join him) while the other three unpicked players are sent away to the former Yaxha camp with no hugs, kisses, or conversations with their relatives. These three, Danni, Rafe, and Lydia, form a new alliance out of resentment that Judd did not choose them, and at the Immunity Challenge, Danni secures a win by using her "switch positions with any player" advantage. With the Immunity out of the way, Rafe is able to convince Stephenie to vote out Judd with him and the others, and a pissed-off Judd is sent packing.
