Ulong Tribal Council
James Voted Out
-------------------
(Part 1)
Bobby Jon (Votes James): James oh James oh James man, oh shoot dude. I don’t want to do this. I wish we weren’t in these kinds of conditions and circumstances right now, you know? But we are. You know how the game is played and I do too. Have a good one.
James (Votes Ibraheim): Sorry bro. But you and I, we just don’t get along. We clash. It’s time for you to go. Bye.
Ibrehem (Votes James): Sorry brother.
Stephenie (Votes Ibreheim): I’m just trying to stick to my word, Ibe. Good luck, whatever happens.
(Revote – tiebreaker)
Bobby Jon (Votes James and doesn’t say anything)
Stephenie (Votes James): James, I’m so sorry to betray your confidence, but I have to do what’s right for me in the future now. It’s time for you to go. See you on the outside.

Final Words
-------------------
DC Notes: Part 2 is rather humbling.
James: I came into this game thinking I was going to stomp some asses. I had a pretty good strategy, I thought, getting rid of the people that want to be leaders, who were pretty much authoritative and aggressive. That was my goal. For me to just take over, myself as a leader and try to control the tribe best way I could and get some allies on my side.
Well, I was doing real good there for a while. Got down to 4 folks left. Me and Ibrehem been clashing all - forever. So I thought I played a good game. Made me a chicken trap. Didn’t get to use it. I caught more fish than Jeff – come on, hell, he only caught one fish. I caught two! Little ones.
I wish them well. I hope Bobby Jon, Ibrehem and Stephenie win some immunity. I kind of liked to hoped that I’d stick around to go ahead and win it, at least won immunity before I got kicked out of here. But it didn’t work that way. I hope one of them three wins a million dollars because they deserve it. Them some good folks.
(Cut)
Yeah, I’m a really, really - it set in as soon as I said, “We’ll have supper in Alabama with everybody and don’t forget our restaurant.” Because it wasn’t my time to go. I didn’t feel like it. My gut told me it was Ibrehem’s. My gut told me nobody was going to vote me off. My gut failed me. And I’m sad and just depressed.
I thought I’d go at least to the Final 4. Make it to the jury. At least long enough to catch my damn rooster! That’s how long I thought I’d go.
(Part 2)
I have learned – I’ll tell you. I don’t like spiders. At all. And this experience, I’ll go through the bush like a madman, just run right through it hunting a damn rooster. Don’t even care about the damn spiderwebs and spiders all over me. I don’t freak out no more. Bugs – I don’t care if bugs crawled all over me. I’ve accomplished that particular phobia. And I’ll tell you, I think I’ve pretty much got over my homophobia too, with old Ibrehem rubbing his ass up over against me!
I’ve learned that I can go 15 days with hardly anything to eat. Survive. Make a fire with flint and rock – I tried with the damned wood, it wasn’t working. I’ve accomplished things that not many people can say they have and that makes me proud.
(Cut)
This is what I’ll take away from this experience: I got to see millions of jellyfish. That’s just one extra place to tack onto my bill that I’ve been. And I’ll probably never come here again. Deserted island with, what, my tribe. Nine people. okay? I’ll never do that again. Hunt crab – never hunted crab before. I got it. Went and hunted crab. A Hawaiian sling. I’ve done it once. Got me a pufferfish in a canal. Never in the bright blue ocean. And I can say I caught 2 fish. Coconuts – you’d be amazed what you can do with some coconuts. You can fry ‘em, bake ‘em, drink ‘em. I’ve learned a lot that I can do and I’m taking this all home.
Not only have I learned what I can do (sighs heavily and pauses for a long time). I’ve learned (struggles not to cry) I’ve got a lot of good friends out there (gets very choked up) and all the times I’ve taken my family for granted. I’ve learned to appreciate that. Take my kids out to the backyard and just roast some hotdogs in a fire. You don’t necessarily have to go camping. Just go roast some hotdogs and some marshmallows, spend some quality time with your family (sounds like he’s on the verge of tears) you only get one shot in this world.
And I just tell you all the times I just decided to work or go to sleep on the couch or watch TV or eat supper watching TV instead of eating supper at the kitchen table with my family. I took all of that for granted, and I wish I had never hadn’t, and I swear when I go home (sniffles) that things are going to change.

Special Delivery
-------------------
: Girls?
Jenn: What?
: Treemail!
Ian: Tree parcel.
Caryn: What?
Ian: Read it on the table?
Caryn: Sure.
Katie: Oh (bleep). Another flag.
Gregg: It’s the Ulong flag.
(Caryn reads treemail, including line about only 4 people participating)
Coby: So the people who sat out last time...
Ian: You, me, Janu, and Katie.
Katie: Can we only use these things?
Ian: Yeah. Only the rope, yeah, and the box. So put it up on the deck and play with it.
Coby: Interesting.
Coby (Confessional): Ian and Gregg went and got treemail, which is rare this time of day that we’d even get treemail, so that was shocking as it was. They came back with a huge box and a note that said we had to secure their flag in the box in a way that they can’t open it.
(Jen, Ian, Janu and Katie are in the shelter with the box)
Ian: Guys, let’s think this through. Where do we want to start?
Katie: I say we make it hard for them to even get these out (pulling on handles)
Jenn: Right.
(Coby, Caryn, Tom, and Gregg are sitting around talking)
Coby: Thank god Ian’s there – no offense to any of the girls.
Coby (Confessional): The people who we sat out last time cannot sit out again, and only 4 people can participate, so that would be Ian, Janu, Jennifer, and Katie. And I’m quite excited, because Katie finally gets to do a challenge (claps his hands in mock glee)!
(Ian and Janu are tying ropes around the box while Katie and Jen sit around uselessly and watch)
Janu: Just so we don’t leave a lot of space like that.
Katie: Right, the tighter, the better.
Jenn: Yeah, sure, why not?
Ian: Why knot?
(Jen laughs)
Jen: A knot.
Ian: Rrrr! Yeah, that’s it! That’s it
Tom (Confessional): I’m twicefold now regretting that I was shooting the gun yesterday. I did a lousy job at that. Being a fireman and working with ropes and knots is part of my job. So I sit out this one, I can’t contribute. They are going to have to be the right people for the job. We don’t have a choice.
Ian: Or knot!
