'Survivor: One World' recap: A Bunch of Idiots

With things being left so up in the air following Bill's departure from the men's team, it's anyone's guess what will happen this time around. The girls wake up feeling puzzled over last night's events, declaring it a "new game". Sabrina is particularly grateful that the girls should have six on their tribe but have managed to hang on to a seventh member.

Alicia thinks that the guys messed up by getting rid of Bill, exclaiming, "The boys are so dumb. They handed us a million dollars!"

At the reward challenge, Jeff drops a bombshell - it's time to drop their buffs because they're switching tribes. The switch is random, determined by eggs drawn from a bowl. Whatever color the cracked egg comes out determines which tribe each person will be on.

Those who draw blue are on the Salani tribe - Kim's there and is certainly pleased with the results. It's her, Michael, Sabrina, Kat, Jay, Troyzan and Chelsea in the group. Those who cracked an orange egg comprise the new Manono tribe - Tarzan, Christina, Colton, Alicia, Monica, Lee and Jonas make the group.

The reward challenge then proceeds, with teams of four carrying large hole-ridden buckets of water from a tower to a another bucket which, when full, will raise a flag. The winning tribe gets peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, as well as coffee with sugar. They also get the right to continue living at the One World beach, which means the losers will be sent to a new beach.

The groups seem to be making equal progress, though Salani takes a bit of a lead when they manage to transport a particularly full bucket back to their challenge bucket. While Manono puts a rush on getting their third bucket back hoping for a win, it falls short and Salani comes up victorious.

"Look at them and look at us! It's like Greek gods versus peasants!" Colton says following Salani's win, much to their dismay. Is he dissing his own new tribe already? Oh, dear.

Back at the beach, Salani digs into their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, with Sabrina absolutely ecstatic that four girls in her five-girl alliance happen to have remained on the same side.

Colton, however, is a bit more concerned at the way the tribes have been divided, as so many of the girls have stuck together on the other team and he realizes that he could be in trouble. "I got on a tribe with people who suck," he declares. "We're not going to be able to compete."

However, Colton knows that in order to stay in the game, he has to turn off his "complete evil" side in order to relate to his new teammates. He speaks to Alicia and Christina privately to make sure that they don't plan to blindside him. After gaining their assurances, he joins in an alliance with the the girls, including Monica, who does seem slightly skeptical of the new arrangement.

Salani is doing well, for their part, catching a wild rooster and four giant crabs to have to eat. Troyzan is ecstatic, claiming that the gods have been looking out for the group.

When alone, Troyzan enters into a discussion with Kim and Jay about a possible alliance going into the merge. Jay inquires about Chelsea and whether she would be interested in joining up with them, and Kim goes along with it as she realizes that she could easily stay joining with the men or the women. "This couldn't have worked better for me," she grins.

Strategy talk over at Manono are slightly tense, as Colton wants to get Christina out but Alicia thinks it's important to keep the women around to ensure her own safety. Jonas takes issue with the fact that Colton doesn't help out around the camp and instead concentrates on strategy, but Colton insists that he's staying with the guys - a story that Jonas doesn't really believe.

The next day, Kim goes on a search for the idol as she feels it's important for her own safety. After "asking the Lord" for help, she manages to find it, calling it "one of the best feelings" she has had since joining the game. She immediately goes back to report her progress to Chelsea, news that's music to the latter girl's ears.

Over at Manono, the Monica and Christina are excited when they manage to catch a chicken, but their celebration is short lived as the chicken gets straight out of the cage and runs away. Colton watches on in horror, complaining that his new tribe is incompetent when it comes to playing the game.

While swimming later, Colton approaches Alicia about getting rid of the girls and promises to remain loyal to her in return. Of course, the chances of him doing so are slim to none, but she seems to buy it.

The groups then meet Jeff on the beach for the day's immunity challenge. Three members from each tribe will race to retrieve a ball from the water and will then shoot the ball into the basket, while members of the other tribe will attempt to stop them from doing so in any way possible. So basically, it's like basketball with tackling. Sounds like a plan. The first team to get three in will win immunity for the week.

Michael manages to get a basket first for Salani before three new contestants get in the water. Michael seems poised to make another basket but misses five times in a row. Leif also misses for Manono and the girls fumble a bit before Michael takes control again to score another basket.

When the next group takes the water, Monica puts Manono back in the game by scoring a point for them, but next time, it's a fight between the men for the all-important basket until eventually, Michael makes the final important point for Salani, giving them the win.

Back at Manono, the tribe is disheartened at their loss, though they reassure one another that everyone did their best. It's time for Colton and Alicia to put on their "best Oscar-winning performance" to pull off a blindside and send Monica home. Colton also shares the plan with Jonas, who seems game to do what he's been asked to do so long as it saves his own place in the game.

Meanwhile, Alicia tells Christina that Tarzan is the one to go home, a plan that Christina then reports back to Colton and Jonas, who obviously know the real plan. Monica also comes on board, saying that she'll do whatever she has to do stay in things. Colton approaches Tarzan, as well, to drum into him the fact that he needs to vote for Monica to go home - he seems to get it. Let's hope that's the case.

At Tribal, strategy talk gets sidetracked when the group begins talking about Tarzan's penchant for using big words, as well as his inability to remember people's names. Funnily enough, he struggles to remember Monica's name when quizzed - slightly worrying, considering how he's supposed to vote.

After the votes are tallied, Monica is eliminated - much to several tribe members' visible shock and confusion.

"I'm extremely disappointed. I came here to win. I chased my husband all over stadiums for 11 years of football and all I was looking forward to was heading to Survivor stadium," Monica said following her exit. "The dumbest thing I could have ever done was trust Colton. I guess I blame myself for being outwitted."
