Day 13 was a day the Survivor castaways are likely never to forget. The Zhan Hu and Fei Long tribes were each given messages delivered via fishermen telling them to choose two warriors from the other tribe they feel would best help to strengthen their own tribe. Each tribe had to circle the names of the two castaways they wanted and then the fishermen would go catch them.

Fei Long chose Frosti and Sherea. Frosti I can sort of understand, but why Sherea? They knew she sucked at challenges already. Did they think she was the workhorse at her camp? Did they think she was the brains behind their operation? It just boggles my mind. After receiving their message, Zhan Hu thinks they get to add members instead of trading with the other team. Because of that, they chose James and Aaron and they're just so excited to have more people than Fei Long. However, when the fisherman come back to take Frosti and Sherea to Fei Long it's only then that the brainiac Sherea realizes it's a trade. Poor thing cried herself out probably because she realized she wouldn't be able to lay around just looking pretty all the time.

Over at Fei Long, Jean-Robert is ticked that their two strongest warriors are leaving and they come up with a plan as to which of the n00bs they'll vote out first: Sherea and then Frosti. Both sets of castaways arrived at their new camps with a huge basket of fruit, nuts, and wine. Ahhh, wine. Would somebody pass Courtney the food? That girl needs it severely. Her spine and shoulder blades grossed me out last night.

On Day 14, the Jean-Robert bashing was in full effect at the Fei Long camp. I found it priceless that just the day before Sherea had told them she could cook yet when Jean-Robert brought up her cooking she brought up the stereotype about women always being in the kitchen. Um, hello Sherea. They lost their cook. You said you could cook so just do it already. Oh, that's right. You're lazy.

Meanwhile, over at Zhan Hu, Aaron was turning on his former Fei Long tribemate James. He'd be an immunity hog later in the game and they need to get rid of him sooner rather than later. Well that's true but I like James so I don't care if he becomes an immunity hog or not. Peih-Gee and Jaime then later discuss throwing the competition so that they can get rid of Aaron and James before the merge. It could be smart and it could be stupid. I guess we'll find out later.

The immunity challenge was an interesting one. There were twelve disks underwater held in place by bamboo poles and two swimmers from each team had to release the disks so that they would float to the surface. Once on the surface, the disks would be brought back to shore and then put together on a puzzle board by the remaining members. Fei Long sat out Amanda and Courtney (good choice).

The teams stayed neck and neck while getting the disks but once they were onshore it was over. Jaime and Peih-Gee (of Zhan Hu) were taking their sweet little time putting the puzzle together which frustrated James who was working with them. No surprise that Fei Long won immunity. Jeffy-poo even told Zhan Hu it was their worst performance yet. Awww.

Back at the Zhan Hu camp on Day 15, James called out Jaime and Peih-Gee for their poor puzzle skills while they basically just laughed in his face. When Jaime and Peih-Gee told Eric that they threw the competition he wasn't thrilled but was still willing to stick with them. They agreed on Aaron going home this week even though James later told Peih-Gee that Aaron deserved to stay.

It was no surprise then at tribal council that Aaron was indeed voted out by a vote of 3-2. Aaron was shocked at this and James was as well. James was expecting to be voted out. I must say, though, that if Peih-Gee and Jaime's plan works out it would be a very good strategic play for them. Please Survivor gods, just let James stay until the merge. Please!

Next week, the search for the hidden immunity idol gets warmer and the castaways enjoy some of the local cuisine. Yay! Time for icky food challenge!
