Survivor fans ready?

Sixteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Interesting -- Hustlers are checking out clothes left behind by Simone. Devon and Ryan have decided they both like and relate to Ali -- which doesn't fare well for Lauren. Meanwhile, Lauren is trying to fit in with Ali. She's going to try her best to get the focus off of herself and onto Patrick. 

On Heroes, Ben is a bit too confident, methinks. He thinks he and Chrissy are running the tribe. Yes, Alan is a hothead and he'll probably sink himself sooner rather than later. Heh. He can't get a coconut open. In other news, Ashley is falling for JP and he's being the fish-bringer for the tribe. Of course, Alan is the one who was all concerned about them being a power couple. So Ashley wants him gone.

On Healers Joe is worried because Cole knows he has an idol. Meanwhile, romance seems afoot with Cole and Jessica. Oh my. She just said on national television that she's a virgin. That's new and different. Heehee -- Cole told her that Joe has the idol. Well, that secret didn't last long!

Dawn arrives and Ryan is leery because Patrick is out there searching for the idol. Ali gives Patrick a heads up that the others might hold looking for the idol against him. I never understood that. I would think everyone would be out looking for an idol.

Over on Healers, it looks like Joe is alienating himself more. Even his buddy Cole thinks it might be a good idea to blindside him, send him home with an idol in his pocket. So, he spreads the word around. Eep, Jessica isn't too thrilled that he's doing that so early. 

Time for the Immunity Challenge! Race through obstacles, sandbags knock blocks off ledge, stack blocks. Reward is four chickens -- one rooster, three hens. The second winning tribe gets a dozen eggs. Mike sits out on Healers to even up the tribe numbers. 

Hustlers are way behind because Patrick refused to switch out when throwing the sandbags. Healers almost win, but were missing a block.  

Heroes win first place! Healers win second.

Hustlers will go to Tribal again. 

Uh-oh. Since they made a point of Lauren pointing out to us that Patrick should go home, he probably won't. 

Patrick apologizes to all. It seems the guys are on his side. Hmm. He wants Lauren to go home. Lauren tells him that she has twenty-five years experience in pitching. She tells Patrick that she knows she's a target. So, she goes to Ali about Patrick. Ryan feels that it's all up to him and Devon to pick the target. Devon thinks that Lauren is tougher in challenges and Patrick has let them down in them. It's looking like it's leaning towards Lauren going unless something happens in Tribal and Patrick sinks himself.

Tribal Council time. Sure enough, Lauren brings up Patrick and his insistence on solely throwing the sandbags. Ali is trying to stick up for her buddy Patrick. And on it goes with the questions. Lauren and Patrick, Patrick and Lauren.

They vote for each other, of course.

The tally:
Patrick, Lauren, Patrick, Patrick.

There goes my pool boy! I actually think they made the right decision. 

Next week, while not the merge, there will be some sort of tribe switch up. That's good because the Hustlers are now down to four!
