the tribes where selected started with the oldest player selecting after they each had to tell them what they did. there is already a weird crush by charlie on marcus (i think charlies gay) when marcus chooses him for the tribe. the first challenge is a race to the top of the hill for both individual immunity (for the first tribe member of each tribe to the top) and reward (extra food for the first tribe total to the top) because of the age fang do badly not helped by two of their younger members michelle and gc just going for the immunity (gc gets it) marcus gets the kota immunity. kota win reward. at fang camp gillian tries to motivate the tribe. while charlie, marcus, jacquie and corrine allign on kota with the other members split and arguing. ken and michelle bond on fang. randy gets hurt already in the head but is clear to continue. the digging immunity challenge and puzzle is won by kota. michelles attitude puts her on the chopping block as is gillian for being weak. they appoint gc as leader (lets see how long that lasts) and the vote is against michelle 8-1.
note that the next episode aired with this part.
next time will fang recover
