The Killing Fields

The Killing Fields is the fourth episode of .
==Story==
===Day 10===
As Day 10 begins at Ogakor, Keith Famie and Tina Wesson talk strategy. They are concerned about Jerri Manthey's comments at the last Tribal Council, in which she named Amber Brkich, Colby Donaldson, and Mitchell Olson as her closest friends on the tribe. Keith and Tina worry that they are the outsiders, and that it is time to shake things up. "I didn't come up here to be pushed around by a bartender wannabe actress," says a miffed Keith.
===Day 11===
The Reward Challenge, a jigsaw puzzle, promises three chickens and a rooster for the winning tribe. The Ogakors argue with each other and cannot seem to get much done, while Kucha works together more smoothly and wins the reward. Most of the Kucha tribe is glad to have the chickens, but Kimmi Kappenberg, a vegetarian, is repulsed. Michael Skupin, too, is worried because his food-catching skills are no longer as important with the chickens around, making him less valuable to the tribe.
Meanwhile, a mini-forest fire has broken out near Ogakor's camp, worrying the tribe. Fortunately, the fire cannot cross the river, so the camp remains safe. Tina talks to Colby about Jerri. She calls Jerri "the most bossy, domineering person I've ever met." Colby agrees with Tina's concerns. He does not like Jerri's decision to boot Keith next, because he feels the tribe needs Keith. Tina says that she and Keith may be able to strike an alliance with Colby. Jerri chats with Amber and Mitchell. She is a little worried that Colby might jump ship on their alliance, but that she will make sure it does not happen. Later, she makes sure that Colby is still tight with her. "It's not like you're making a deal with the devil here," she reassures him.
At Kucha, the tribe agrees to eat their first chicken. Kimmi makes it a point to leave camp before the killing. The rest of the tribe chows down on the chicken. Michael, though, is still determined to make himself useful. Suddenly he sees a pig race past camp, and he is quickly on the hunt. Michael traps the pig and kills it with the spear. Michael feels victorious. The rest of the tribe is impressed with Michael's hunting skills, but a little grossed out at the bloody scene. Kimmi, in particular, is disgusted. Later, the tribe, sans Kimmi, happily feasts on the pig.
===Day 12===
For the Immunity Challenge, the castaways are quizzed one by one on facts about Australia. The tribe with the most correct answers wins. Kucha's Alicia Calaway, after missing her first three questions, finally beats Mitchell in the tiebreaker round. Therefore, Kucha wins their third straight Immunity Challenge. A demoralized Ogakor will go back to Tribal Council. Amber, Jerri, and Mitchell think that it is a foregone conclusion that Keith will be going home. But a Tribal Council shocker throws them for a loop. The three of them vote for Keith, only to find that Colby, Keith, and Tina have teamed up to vote for Mitchell, resulting in a 3-3 tie. Everyone but Keith and Mitchell vote again, but the result is another tie.
Host Jeff Probst announces the deadlock tiebreaker rule: whoever has the most votes from previous Tribal Councils will be booted. Keith has zero votes. Mitchell has one (from Keith at the previous Tribal Council). That vote makes all the difference, and a stunned Mitchell has his torch snuffed.
