Lopevi, the all-male all the time tribe, is still trying to get some fire, having failed to win it in the first elimination challenge. With a lot of effort, they get really close. But only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, so when it starts to rain, the men give up and believe they are cursed. God, if only they had some good luck charm to get them going. With no way cook any food, Lopevi has already started eating worms for the protein. It seems at times Sarge wants to chew off Chad's other leg at this point.

The Yasur Tribe, our plucky group of determined women, has fire, so things should be easy, right? That's the attitude a number of them choose to take, namely Mia, Julie, Lisa, Dolly and Eliza. They have the numbers, so they spend a lot of time sitting idly by as the rest of the women struggle to do the work. Apparently, they have never read Marx. There are times when they all get together to get some work done, like when they were foraging for food and Lisa climbed on top of two of her tribemates to machete down some plantains. I guess they picked her because she is light, but why don't you put Twila up there? She would have gnawed the whole tree down by herself faster than anybody could have cut down the tree. They are boiling their plantains into some sort of mush, only to discover that there are lots of maggots inside when they take a bite. I don't know, they looked OK to me, at least they were cooked! It's better than the cold ones the guys were throwing back. Twila had no problem, and it looks like she is one step closer to beating down some of her younger teammates. She argues that they aren't on vacation, and people shouldn't be complaining because they should have expected it to be hard.
