Who let the weirdos out? Woof, woof-woof, woof woof…

But first, in repsonse to last week's summentary Linda from Tennessee says, "You did not point out they washed the panties out in the cooking pot (yuck). That was an unnecessary use of the water and pot." Yes indeed, Jenna's scrubbing of her tiger-striped scivvies was wrong on many levels. Will she get into more trouble this week?

We start Episode 2 with Jaburu on Day 4 and the women still have no shelter. They try and organize who will do which chores. Shawna says the guys are probably further along.

And they are. We see the men of Tambaqui making actual little cakes from the manioc flour. Look out IHOP!

They go out fishing with the net but rain clouds chase them back. As the rains pour down, the manly shelter works great. Dave says, "Sucks to be outside right now."

Cut to the women outside. They are trying to protect their fire but having little luck. "We forgot that we're in the middle of the Amazon," Shawna says, "and that torrential ran storms come by daily." Hence the rainforest part.

The first Reward Challenge is your standard one-leader-while-everyone-else-is-blindfolded game with a puzzle at the end. There are thirty planks to bring back. JoAnna and Butch will be doing the yelling. Christy sits out. The reward is some fish bait in a jar. Tasty.

Butch is worthless. He can't remember anyone's name and guys are running into each other. "Girls are way ahead of the guys," Jeff declares. The ladies have a 27-18 plank lead at one point and are almost done with the puzzle before the men even start it. Jaburu is undefeated and the men have to swallow their pride for another night.

Day 5 and the women only have "fried maniac," as Jeanne calls it. Sing along! Eating maniac, MAAAAniac on the ground….

Christy butts heads with her tribemates.

What? When did Dennis Rodman's kid sister get on the show? Oh, that's Jenna in an ugly hat and sunglasses.

The women try to get some real food. "My fishing technicque?" Jeanne explains. "Put on the bait and cry." She gets one on the line but freaks out and drops the rod. Not a good fish story.

Over at Tambaqui, things must be going too well because Roger and Alex decide to argue about homosexuals. Rob thinks he can take advantage (of Roger, not the homosexuals): "Now what I'm hoping for is that this is planting the seed in Alex's head that Roger may not be all he's cracked up to be." Calm down there, Robby. Don't scheme yourself out of the game.

Night 5 and Deena says JoAnna is upset about the Immunity Idol and doesn't want it in camp. I know my Ten Commandments as well as anyone and she's overreacting. As far as being surprised a little statuette may be coming to camp…Don't people watch the show?!?

But it gets better. The next day Christy asks Jeanne what she missed last night and Jeanne fills her in on the JoAnna situation. Christy calls it "stupid" and JoAnne hears her. Look out!

JoAnna: "Don't interject into my conversation negatively because I'm going to shut you down with my hand. You're going to get the hand." An Alicia/JoAnna gesture fight would be fun to watch.

"Leave me alone and get out of my face!" she concludes, making Christy cry.

But it gets better! They unload everyone's pack from the crate and there's a granola bar at the bottom. No one claims it and they burn it. Jeanne plays the role of Jerri and says she saw it in Janet's bag. "I don't like Cheaters," Jeanne says.

The Immunity Challenge is a mental one. They have two minutes to walk through an "Amazonian Indian Village" and remember everything they can. The tribe that answers the most questions right out of ten wins. They face off one at a time, so it's like Survivor Feud. Survey says!

Aw, look at the wee piggies.

Jeanne and Dave go first and they're both wrong. Deena meets Rob, and Rob gets it right! He acts like it was a piece of cake. He must count ladder rungs in his spare time.

Kel feels Janet's pain.

Christy can't remember the correct number of wee piggies, but Butch does. 2-0 men!

Jenna scores the first point for femininity but Alex matches her. Neither Janet nor Dan gets their question right. A true pair of mental titans they are.

After Heidi and Matthew, JoAnna and Roger, and Jeanne and Dave are all correct, it's 6-4 for the men with only two questions left. They need only one more right (or one more wrong by the ladies) to clinch.

Deena gets another question wrong and it's over! The men have finally won! And it's at a mental challenge. Go figure.

With Tribal Council looming, things heat up over at Jaburu. Christy chops wood for the shelter while others rest. She scolds them and tells us, "I think my tribe is the most laziest tribe." Hey now--I think Rob and Sean's Marquesas squad might be offended.

Deena is upset but doesn't say anything. Instead she goes off to gather palm branches. She sarcastically sings about teamwork as she returns and throws them at Christy's feet. But Christy doesn't want them any more. "I gave up working with the tribe," she says. They be coming apart at the seams.

Janet says it'll be her or Christy going tonight. She calls the group together to say she's heard the rumors and she didn't bring the granola bar. "Strategically I probably should vote for Christy," she says, "but I think instead I will vote for Jeanne" because of the granola accusations. Shouldn't it be illegal to get voted off on purpose?

We could have four different people with votes! Christy, JoAnna, Janet, and Deena all have rubbed people the wrong way.

They light their torches and Jeff asks if anyone is "emerging" in the tribe. Janet says JoAnna due to her strength. Janet fears The Hand.

Deena talks about the lack of shelter. JoAnna says they don't have time to build one since they have to get food and water. Jeff sets them straight: "What I'm getting at is it doesn't sound like you have any plan." Take the hint, ladies.

"The Finger, meet The Hand."

Christy wants to talk more shelter, saying it "should've been built days ago." JoAnna shakes her head. Jeff asks about it and she says Christy had quit. Christy responds that it was because she wasn't getting any help.

Jeff asks Christy: "Do you feel excluded?"
Christy: "Yes."
Jeff: "Do you think it has to do with that you're deaf?"
Christy: "Yes."
Jeff: "No question?"
Christy: "No."

She breaks down in tears again. She says people aren't talking to her. "I worked harder than them and I don't feel like they're working." OK, I agree that some of them aren't making an effort to include her. But turning around and calling them lazy isn't going to break down any barriers.

Jenna gets insulted at Christy's comments and calls the exclusion accusations "ridiculous."

The only way to sort this out is to vote. Heidi votes for Janet because Janet wants out and was sick. JoAnna votes for "Krystie." Is that the idol's name? Christy votes for Jenna, and Janet does in fact vote for Jeanne. There's your four right there. Is that a Survivor record?

The votes are read and we see one for each of the four targets. But the next three go to Janet and she's out. In her farewell Janet says, "I found out I am not an Amazonian woman; I am a Cancun woman. For all you middle aged women out there that are thinking about having a midlife crisis, I would highly suggest a change of hair style." Great final words.

Jeff shoos them away and says, "I hope tomorrow morning brings some much needed change to this tribe."

A look at the other votes shows that Heidi, Jenna, Shawna, Deena and Jeanne voted together. Are they a solid group, or is it just coincidence?

It has to be pointed out that the young ladies (minus Christy) seem to be getting along, while it's the more "mature" women who are causing all the drama.

Next week: Lots of this.

This young bond is especially apparent in the preview for next week. WHOA! Naked Survivors! Jenna and Shawna are topless in the river and Heidi scrubs down right beside them. Mr. Burnett, you weren't kidding, my man.

There's also a "mixer" game between the tribes. Aw yeah!

So where do we stand? Christy is obviously in big trouble in Jaburu. JoAnna could be next after that. I'm shocked the little girlie girls are doing so well. But they're not mouthing off (like Ryan did) so no one minds them.

With the men, I still think Daniel's in the hot seat, but Roger's is warming up fast. After that it's anyone's guess.

Remember kids: don't hog the granola bars!

Always willing to share,
Scott
