Survivor Gabon Episode 2: Want to See the Elephant Dung?

Picked as the leader of Fang at Tribal Council, GC started the tribe’s first fire and organized jobs to fix up the campsite. At Kota, Charlie felt attracted to Marcus (Charlie’s feelings were not reciprocated as Marcus is straight) and they formed an alliance. The two expanded their alliance to include Jacquie and Corrine. The four discussed bringing in Bob to have a majority, though Bob would be kept out of the core alliance of four. In the early morning of day 5, GC resigned his leadership of the tribe after arguing with Gillian over waking up early and making too much noise. After receiving tree mail announcing the next challenge, Dan tried to unify the tribe by painting everybody with charcoal face paint, but the motivation did not work and Kota won their third challenge in a row. Kota selected Dan to go to Exile Island, where he chose to get a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol, but he was not able to decode the clue to find it. At Fang, Randy fashioned a fishing hook out of parts from his glasses and the tribe was finally able to get some meat. Gillian suggested to Susie that the two of them form an alliance, fearing they might have been next in line to be voted out since they were the oldest women in the game; she suggested the two vote off Ken for being useless in Gillian’s eyes. Dan’s behavior after he returned from Exile Island made the others suspicious that he had found the Hidden Immunity Idol. This caused some of the Fang tribe to reconsider voting out their weakest link, Gillian, and instead vote for Dan. At Tribal Council, Gillian’s weakness at physical challenges was seen as a greater concern than Dan’s potential of having the Hidden Immunity Idol and she was voted out 7-1.
