Night 21 and here comes the somebody's-died music. Steph says she's scared about being alone but she's not giving up.

The next day at Koror, everyone is lying around. Ian says Janu is like the crazy aunt in the attic, and Coby is the pouter. Coby says he's tired of everyone being lazy so he's not going to do any work today. Good logic.

Thank you, kettle.

Stephenie tries to fish by herself but can't find anything. She then tries to knock coconuts from a tree using a pole and that doesn't work either. Finally she's able to climb the tree and knock one coconut down.

When talking to the camera Stephenie breaks into tears. Gilligan never had it this rough.

Mail arrives for Stephlong. It's a map to Koror! Now she cries for joy. "I'm gonna have friends!" she exclaims. The poor girl has lost her mind.

Koror is still having a sloth-off when she arrives. The note for Koror says they have conquered Ulong so Stephenie is now a member of their tribe. That's fitting. Koror never lost so they should keep their name.

Standing next to the others we see how dark Stephenie has gotten from the sun. Lunacy and skin disease. How nice.

Everyone tries to make friends with the new girl. Coby thinks Katie is being phony with her.

Two native men arrive. One of them is named "Joe" and they speak English. This is very authentic. They will teach the Americans how to fish.

The first step is to catch tiny fish for bait. Joe says two of them should keep collecting bait while two others come with him out in the boat. Coby volunteers to do bait but Tom wants Ian and Gregg to join him in the boat. Being left alone offends Coby and he stomps off.

"Everyone in the boat but Coby."

Out in the water the locals catch fish after fish, pulling in the line with their hands. Very impressive.

As they prepare their feast, Joe whips out some rum. And, naturally, you put the rum in the coconuts and drink them both up.

It's not Survivor until someone gets staggeringly drunk. This season's winner is Tom. He falls to the ground twice. The boys at the firehouse will have a ball with this one.

Day 24 and Coby complains about Tom kissing Joe and The Other Guy's butts. He imitates Tom's fake laugh which is pretty funny.

Coby's next move is to loudly pull Stephenie aside to talk privately. He tells her about the main alliance of five, and even about his plan with Gregg and Jenn. But he says Jenn doesn't like her because Stephenie kept beating her in Challenges.

Katie and Jenn then talk to Steph and she confesses everything Coby said. It didn't take long for her to choose sides. Tom talks to Steph next and says she deserves to stay longer than some of the others and adds, "You've got friends in this tribe."

Time for the first individual Immunity Challenge. Stephenie gets to touch the Idol once before it's retired. I didn't realize how much the Idol looks like Willard.

It's the Standing On A Pole For A Really Long Time Challenge, a.k.a., the Who'll Get Naked For Some Peanut Butter? Challenge.

When hunger strikes….

Jeff has a reclined chair this time. Smart man. One hour passes and here comes the food. Jeff bring out some donuts and Coby and Janu are in the water.

This is a great Challenge for Stephenie. You gotta think she could do this for a week.

After 90 minutes Ian says he'll strip for some chocolate but Jeff says no one wants to see that. Amen.

Two and a half hours in and the temptation is chocolate chip cookies and milk. Boom--Jenn, Gregg, Ian and Katie dive in. Wow. Only Steph, Tom and Caryn remain. One of these things is not like the other….

Three hours. The next food item is covered. Jeff says they'll have five seconds to make a decision and if they pass on it, the previous quitters will get it. Pull back to reveal…a pizza! Caryn jumps…and so does Stephenie! I'm stunned. Tom wins an easy one.

They immediately go to Tribal Council. Jenn says she likes Stephenie but she's really good at everything which makes her a threat.

Janu admits she hasn't been pulling her weight, which is really saying something since she only weighs about three pounds at this point. She thinks she's going home tonight. Sounds like a Survivor death wish.

On a worry scale of one to ten, Stephenie says she's an eight or nine. Jeff asks why she jumped off the pole then. She confesses if she gets voted out because of the pizza, "I'll be so mad at myself." She says it'd be one of the "biggest regrets of my life."

Time to vote. Ian votes for Coby. Janu votes for Stephenie.

The tally goes: Stephenie, Janu, Coby, Coby, Coby, Coby, Coby, and he's gone. He turns to the group and says, "It was a great compliment. Thank you."

"You think I'm dangerous?!"

Coby should be very good on the jury. But why did he vote for Janu? He's very gracious in his final words and makes it sound like they told him beforehand they were voting him off because he's a threat and that made him proud.

Next time on…Survivor: Janu yells at Katie (it must be her turn), someone gets a Reward involving dancing, and "the first person to bail will be abandoned to live on your own."

So Stephenie just got human contact back but now they're going to take it away from someone else. Man, at this point they're like the kid who pulls wings off of flies.
