Quest for Food

**Quest for Food** is the third episode of *Survivor: Borneo*.

## Story

### Day 7

Following Tribal Council, the Pagong tribe was calm, having all voted to keep Anne unanimously. Viktor, Keinan and Camilla were feeling slightly uneasy, however, given that they had originally wanted Anne to go instead of Frank, but didn't want to be in the identifiable minority of the vote.

Both tribes received Tree Mail informing them of their upcoming Reward Challenge which they guessed would involve diving underwater. Over at Pagong, Anne was dreading the challenge due to not being good at swimming.

The tribes met Jeff at the Sand Spit, where they competed for reward. It was a close race, but Pagong, surprisingly, ended up going back to camp with their treasure chest filled with fishing gear.

### Day 8

On Day 8, the Pagong tribe used their newfound fishing gear to use, with tribe morale raising over the wider availability of food at camp.

### Day 9

Both tribes received Tree Mail informing them of their upcoming Immunity Challenge. The note informed them that they had to build a stretcher that would be able to carry a tribemate. Both tribes started constructing the stretchers and made practice runs.

At the Immunity Challenge, Pagong emerged victorious, thus sending Tagi back to Tribal Council. Back at the Pagong camp, Gabrielle and Keinan bonded with one another, leading the pair to propose a four-person alliance. As a result, The Four was created, an alliance including Erika, Gabrielle, Keinan and Stephan.

Back at Tagi, Julienne and Lois had a minor disagreement, with Lois complaining about Julienne's performance in the Immunity Challenge. Once again, the tribe was divided on who should go home.

In a rainy Tribal Council, Jeff abruptly ended the conversation as the rain started to get too strong. In a very close vote, Mark was eliminated over Seema in a 4-3 vote.

After the vote, Jeff allowed Tagi to stay at Tribal Council until the rain subsided.

## Challenges

* Reward
* Immunity
**Challenge:** *Treasure Chest*
A treasure chest is submerged 150 yards off the Sand Spit. Each tribe must swim out to the treasure chest. Once the entire tribe has arrived, they must dive down and work as a group to drag the chest along the ocean bottom back to shore. The first tribe to haul their chest ashore and open it wins.
**Reward:** The winning tribe will bring their treasure chest to camp. The chest contains fishing supplies (mask, snorkel, spear, flippers, and bait).
**Winner:** Pagong

**Challenge:** *Rescue Mission*
Before the challenge, both tribes received Tree Mail where they were instructed to make a stretcher and pick one tribemate (preferably the smallest or lightest) that will be lying on it. They are to choose "leaders" as well. Simulating a real plane crash, the smallest members from both tribes (pretending to be plane crash survivors) will be sent to the middle of the jungle and harnessed into a parachute dangling from a tree. The leaders will then guide the other tribe members to "rescue" the "survivor" and proceed to the "first aid tent." The first tribe to reach it wins Immunity.
**Winner:** Pagong

## Trivia

### Behind the Scenes

* Though Mark's torch was already extinguished because of the heavy rain, Jeff still placed the snuffer on top of Mark's torch for the sake of formality.
* This episode had the very first storm in *Survivor* history and was also the first Tribal Council to be held in the rain.
* This was the only time that the castaways were allowed to stay at Tribal Council to wait until the rain subsided. Tagi returned to camp the next morning.
* All the decorative torches including the fire pit and the contestants' torches were extinguished because of the heavy rain. All the Tagi members have flashlights beneath them to increase visibility.
* This is the first episode in which a castaway's final words took place at daytime (because of the storm).
