after the favourites are introduced to the fans they must race for individual immunity which fairplay finds first but its the wrong one so yau-man tackles him and gets it while he helps kathy get the fans one. chet is immediatley realised to be gay he tracy and kathya re on the outs. the favourites already split with ami, eliza, yau-man and jonathan aliging against the pairs who have sort of aligned amanda and ozzy as well as parvati and james both want fairplay as their 5th and ignore cirie at this point. the fans win the first challenge winning flint and immunity in a blowout. fairplay wants to quit to be with his family and due to a preshow injury despite skecpticsm the tribe grant him his wish 9-1 over ozzy (huh the targets were originally parvati and eliza and he is their strongest).
next time exile islnad is back and cirie has a lot of power.
