Let's Make a Deal

Let's Make a Deal is the eleventh episode of .
==Story==
===Day 28===
After Jerri Manthey's surprise elimination, morale in the Barramundi tribe reaches an all-time high, especially that of Jerri's bitter rival Keith Famie, who even sings, "Ding-dong, the witch is dead!" Amber Brkich, on the other hand, feels that she is in a precarious position now that her closest ally has been eliminated, but Keith tells her that it was a mistake for Amber to ally herself with Jerri. Despite good moods, the days' worth of starvation has taken its toll on the castaways. The tribe has run out of food and has not eaten in 24 hours. Keith resorts to chasing grasshoppers, while other tribe members try to fish, though their efforts are futile.
===Day 29===
The castaways are surprised by host Jeff Probst at the challenge because instead of competing in a challenge, a food auction would commence. Each tribe member gets $500 to spend on whatever they choose.
After the auction, most of the tribe (with the exception of Amber and Colby Donaldson) finds their stomachs upsetting after munching their desired food. Adding insult to injury, the rampant heavy rains continue. The overflowing Herbert River has come dangerously close to the camp. The tribe decides to relocate the tent to a higher ground.
===Day 30===
The tribe has gotten tired of Nick Brown's laziness. Elisabeth Filarski and Rodger Bingham are disappointed because Nick seems to be saving all his energy for the challenges instead of doing any work around camp.
Their next Immunity Challenge tests the remaining castaways' ability to make fire. The first person to build a fire and light a fuse wins. Nick jumps out to an early lead, but Colby works more tediously to create his fire. His patience pays off, as his fuse starts to spark. Colby wins immunity.
Back at camp, the lack of food has taken its toll on the castaways, and everyone is getting very weak. Probst visits the camp and makes the castaways a deal: he will give them a large supply of rice, but they must give him their tarps and Colby's giant Texas flag. The tribe has little choice but to accept the trade, leaving them with food but no shelter, making them more vulnerable to the harsh environment. When Probst leaves the camp, the emotionally battered Barramundi tribe is forced to create a new shelter.
When Barramundi goes to Tribal Council, Keith feels secure in his place in the game as he does not bring his bag. This earns him a vote from Nick, who deems Keith as arrogant. Elisabeth and Rodger vote for Amber. But the decision is a foregone conclusion, and all four ex-Ogakors' votes are for Nick, sending him packing.

==Trivia==
* This episode features the first Survivor Auction.
* This is the first time that host Jeff Probst made a deal to give food in exchange for confiscating the castaways' shelter materials. This would happen again nine years later in the episode, when the Libertad tribe found their food items caught on fire, and later in in when the Hunahpu tribe had eaten all of their rice supply.
