Thoai bo
James Clement - Injury conflicted with career
Jenna Morasca - The one with the reason
Osten Taylor - The original quitter
Kourtney Moon - Broke wrist on the first challenge
Russel Swan - Almost died, NBD
Colton Cumbie - Possible appendicitis
Bruce Kanegai - To sick to continue
NaOnka Mixon - Had a freaking idol
Johnathon Penner - Knee was infected
Sue Hawk - Emotionally scarred for life?
Colton won Immunity!
Thoai bo: Russel, James, Jenna and Kourtney targeted Penner, believing him to be the biggest threat in the game. Penner wanted James out instead, and talked to Colton about flipping back to his side, and voting him out. Colton and Osten had become the swing votes. Voting with Penner would raise there spot on the totem pole. But voting penner out, would get rid of a strategic threat.
The alliance of Penner, NaOnka and Sue voted out Janu, while Michael targeted Bruce.
Bruce Kanegai (NaOnka)
NaOnka Mixon (Janu)
Janu Tornell (NaOnka)
Johnathon Penner (Janu)
Sue Hawk (Janu)
Michael Skupin (Bruce)

Thoat wins Immunity!
Thoat: Realizing he was slowly moving onto the outs of his tribe, Colton grabbed a hold of Osten, telling him they needed to work together to make it to the merge.
Loai bo: NaOnka, Penner and Sue didn't know which outsider to vote out. They knew Michael would be useful in the upcoming challenges, but they were worried he might just claim all of the individual immunities come merge.
