For those who've followed the adventures of the Survivor 6: Amazon contestants from the beginning, this episode might not have contained anything new. However, since I missed one episode, it was satisfying to fill in the blanks.

This episode covered the challenges, personalities, strategies. immunities and the plotting between allies, and revenge taken against prior allies. Combined with the comments of tribal members voted off, the program highlighted some of the bickering, posturing, hurt feelings, tenderness and retribution.

Jeanne's revenge on her fellow female tribe members - cooking the bugs in the manioc into "meatballs" - pales against the challenge of eating live bugs to win immunity. Deena acknowledged that backing out of that contest lost her the immunity that would have saved her from that evening's Tribal Council in which she was voted off.

The reshifting alliances between the reorganized teams was displayed when Dave taught Christy to swing dance, Christy taught her tribe the sign language for Team Fish and the feast of the new Jacaré tribe, which name by the way, was suggested by Deena, and the daily calendar created by Heidi and Rob.

Rob ccommented on his role playing: keep everyone liking him, laughing at his jokes, and "plot like crazy."

Episode 11 teaser:

Question for the Tribal members: how bad do they want to win and what will they do to win? How will the "Alliance of Four" direct the future of the remaining members of Jacaré?

Jenna and Heidi share some happy tears while the alliances and strategies grow more intense. Who'll be the next contestant to be voted off? Man or woman?

Keep track of the wins and losses:
