Wreckage
36 days ago, 20 Americans adventure of lifetime
Two necklaces for woman and man to shore
From beginning whole new game
No other info to guide them, no one knew what to expect
Two tribes - 9 members
Two go home
Jo and Ian learned value of necklaces, in end Wanda/Jonathon left behind
Wanda sings
At the first IC, Ulong stumbled with crucial decisions
And older Koror proved age didn't matter when they won IC and flint
At Ulong's first tC, Jolanda's strength did not prevent her from taking fall
On Day 4, tribes battled, Ulong made brief comeback but Koror soon back on roll winning challenge after challenge
Koror wins fourth straight IC
Jeff: James you haven't won one single IC
Ulong losing members fast
Jeff
Kim
Even though Koror dodged TC, alliance of five exposed
K/J/G/I/T
Koror continued victory sweep
Losing only Willard at surprise double TC
Ulong lost Angie, James, Ibe
Ulong had dwindled to tribe of two
BJ: Nothing has worked
Steph: Still ready to win
At Koror Tom emerged as tribe leader
Tom: Killing shark
and BJ and Steph continued to give all at challenges
But Ulong continued to come up short
BJ: Seems like Tom beats me every single time
On Day 18, Koror wins 7th straight IC for first time, one tribe made clean sweep
Ulong - II challenge, loser goes home
Steph/BJ were forced to face off against each other
Though Steph had doubts about fire making skills, she came out victorouis
Next day Steph joined Koror tribe
Ian: New in town
Secretly some saw her as threat
Jenn: Longer she is with us, needs to go fast
But Coby took heat off Steph by exposing too many tribe secrets
Tom won first II and at TC Coby's loose lips cost him game and became first member of jury
Day 25, Janu on last leg and fed up with tribe
Katie: Janu is crazy person
Though Janu ready to go, Steph sensed she was in danger
At TC, Steph's worst fears realized when became clear she was next to go
Steph: Showed @#%$
But Janu threw a wrench in the plan
Janu: Willing to lay down torch
In last ditch effort, Steph agreed to Katie's all woman alliance plan
But hopes crumbled when Caryn spilled beans to Tom
Tom: They are plotting against guys
Katie; Caryn sucks
At TC, Steph's hard fought battle came to end and voted out
with only original Koror, the real battle about to begin
On Day 31, Gregg won RC on yacht
Gregg chose J/K on ride
Back at camp, Ian realized 3-3
So they concocted risky plan to force Gregg out
Tom: You and I choose rocks
Ian: Risk we have to take
Meanwhile G/J/K strategized on their own
But right before TC, Ian let Katie in on plot to oust Gregg
Ian: Made promises to Tom and Katie; staying true to that
Plan worked, Gregg out
Jenn was upset she was left out of plot against Gregg
Ian and Katie's bond continued to strengthen when he promised Kaite to take her on next reward
But when Ian won car and trip to mansion chose Tom instead
Katie was furious!
Katie: Feel like lost BG
Katie resurrected talk of all girl alliance
When T/I returned, Ian/Katie had emotional confrontation
Ian: Over and above, please forgive, you want me to step out I'll do it
Tom worked to put pressure on Katie
At TC, Katie was still wary of Ian
Ian: Biggest mistake I made
and Caryn brought all of I and T's game plan out in open
Caryn: Had it up to here
Caryn's tirade didn't help her, Katie put her trust in her friendship into Ian and helped vote out Caryn
Now only four remain, Ian, Katie, Jenn and Tom, tongiht they will compete in final IC's two will face jury and one will outlast all the rest and become the SoleSurvivor!!!!!!!!!
