Day 17 sees Jerri and Lex talking privately. She tells him he can trust her, that she “adores him.” They hug and agree to an alliance, but Lex later, after saying he thought her sincere, says he would exploit anything to get ahead.

In Chapera, the talk also turns to food, and seasonings for the rice. Sue refuses to eat, and Rupe worries that her own agenda alienates her from the tribe and will ultimately hurt her. Alicia is not happy with her.

Mogo Mogo and Chapera answer the tree mail and present themselves for the Reward Challenge. Chapera exchanges smiles when they see and hear that Hatch is gone. Before explaining the rules of the challenge, host Jeff Probst asks if anyone has anything to say about the incident with Hatch. Before anyone else can speak, Sue’s anger explodes. She shouts and berates Jeff, who did not see what Hatch did to her because Hatch had his back to him. She vents her anger at being “sexually violated” and says she is done with the game. She is spent, has no more to give and she is walking away.

There is some discussion about who saw what. The castaways voice their sorrow and regret that it happened, but Sue is not appeased. Jeff asks her for clarification about leaving, and asks with Richard gone, will it change anything, but Sue is adamant. She wants out. Jeff calls the boat to come in ASAP and walks her to it when it arrives.

When he comes back to the Mogo Mogo and Chapera tribes, now equal at 6-6, he tells them they have two options. Either they can choose to continue with the game, or forget the challenge. If they choose to forget the game, both teams can share the reward.

The tribes choose to play. Jeff explains the rules of Tribal Stompede. The players will use a balance beam to stomp food items into the air with the goal being to land the items in a basket high over their heads. The first tribe to land all their items into their basket wins the reward of shish kabobs and a grill. The winning tribe will also receive all the items launched into the basket, which include sugar, coffee, nuts, dried beef and various spices. All but salivating, the tribes begin the challenge. They start out evenly, but as Jenna tried repeatedly to get her item in, Mogo Mogo took the lead and kept it to win 6-4. A jubilant tribe exchanged happy shouts and hugs while a hungry, disappointed Chapera team trudged back to camp.

While Mogo Mogo enjoyed their feast, they discussed Sue’s outburst and departure. They wonder how Chapera will react with her gone.

The Chapera team are wondering the same thing. Rupe tells they others that he’d talked with Sue earlier, trying to dissuade Sue from suing Richard Hatch for ten million. He laments that her departure gives Mogo Mogo a “helluva gift.” But the tribe bounces back quickly with a pep talk. They say they’ll stick together “no matter what,” and Amber says they are the “happy tribe,” while they wait for tree mail the next day.

When it comes, tree mail announces there will be no Immunity Challenge. For the second time in Survivor All-Stars, a player has quit the game, making it unnecessary to hold Tribal Council.

Big Tom breaks into a dance routine to the tune of the Wicked Witch is Dead from the Wizard of Oz, while Alicia calls him insensitive to the pain Sue went through. They’ve lost a valuable member. Amber says “keeping it together” is the true Survivor test, and Rob eats his rice, saying “my girls know how to cook rice.”

Come back next week for Episode 7, when:

  • One tribe is misled by Tree Mail, and both tribes find themselves blindsided by another twist.
  • The women of Mogo Mogo unsheathe their claws.
  • One castaway's grating behavior drives a fellow tribe member crazy.
  • Lex and Shii-Ann plot.
  • Despite suffering the elements on the island, one tribe proves they know how to have a good time.
