Survivor Gabon Premiere (The Second Hour)

Season 17, Episode one, hour two In which we’re introduced to the onion alliance

Before I start the second hour, I forgot to mention one more thing about the first. Fang was so unorganized and divided that Jeff sort of pressured them to chose a leader, and the team chooses the reluctant GC. Just wanted you to keep that in mind.

Anyway, onto hour two:

Fun Times
Gillian searches for elephant dung. Charlie and Marcus flirt. Randy breaks his glasses to make fishhooks. Bob rocks the house – and builds it, too. And GC, in his first decision as tribe leader, quits.

The Challenge
Only one this time around. This is one of those push a huge boulder and accumulate keys, unlock locks and make puzzle kind of deals. Ho hum. Bob rocks, and Jeff notes that Gillian is no help at all. Way to plant seeds, Probst. Kota wins fishing gear (not glasses, though), immunity and the right to send someone to Exile Island. They pick Dan, another lawyer type who is still wearing a tie. (We’ve come a long way from the nakedness of Richard Hatch, eh?)

Exile Island
New twist time: once you get to Exile, you can choose between comfort and a clue. Dan picks the clue, then beats himself up trying to find a sandy crater. He even looks under water, but comes up all wet.

Meanwhile, back at camp…
Jillian and Susie scramble to get the target off their back. Marcus forms the Onion Alliance – named after the rings in an onion – which will include Charlie, Jacquie, Corinne and Bob (but just for votes). Members of Fang become convinced Dan found the idol and discuss possibly offing him. Both teams get fish. But can Randy see?

Tribal Council
Because this tribe is all drama, Dan makes a big show of dumping his bag to prove he doesn’t have the idol. So the team sends Gillian a-packing. Note that this team lost three out of three – not a good start. Wanna place bets on which member will turn out to be this season’s Stephanie?
