The Immunity Challenge - What's for Launch?

By Bonnie Hamre, About.com

Jeff notes that he sees Yaxhá players as upset and angry while Nakúm is all smiles. He explains that the tribe members will have to work together. "Working together as a unit, each tribe would be divided into to groups of three holding a catch net. The remaining tribe member would act as a ball launcher from a catapult. The object: to catch the balls in the net, and the first tribe to catch five balls would win Immunity."

Lydia is ball launcher for Nakúm. Brian is for Yaxhá, and his team catches the first ball.d the game progresses, Lydia and her team take the lead and hold it, winning a much needed challenge, 5-3. Lydia's the hero of the day!

The Nakúm players bemoan their loss and face their first Tribal Council as a new team. There are four members from the old Nakúm tribe, and three from the old Yaxhá. They discuss the imbalance and Gary and Brian agree to oust Blake, but Brandon and Danni , who refers to Blake as a "frat boy" holds the swing vote.

At the Tribal Council that night, fed up with his constant talk of himself and his life, the players voted 5-2 to vote Blake out of Survivor 11. Jeff comments that it's a "big shift," and Blake said, "I didn't see it coming and don't understand the reason why. I am kind of perplexed right now and kind of angry. Playing the odds, I don't understand why it happened.", but as they said in the Survivor Family Moment, his family was looking forward to seeing him again.
