The Generation Gap

**The Generation Gap** is the second episode of *Survivor: Borneo*.

## Story

### Day 4

At the Tagi Tribe, following the first Tribal Council of the season, Michael was upset that he received votes and was close to being eliminated. Nikolas and Mark found themselves in an interesting position, not wanting to out themselves as the people who voted for him, although the tribe was aware of it.

### Day 5

On Day 5, the tribes competed in a Reward Challenge that was unaired. One man from each tribe was designated as the weight bearr. The other tribe members will add water buckets onto the opposing tribe bearer's bar. When the weight will become too much for the weight bearers, the men will drop their bar, and the first one to do so will lose reward for their tribe. Michael, from Tagi, and Frank, from Pagong, were selected to compete, with Michael winning a map, detailing a water source nearby for the tribe.

### Day 6

Both tribes received Tree Mail informing them of their next Immunity Challenge where it was speculated that food would be involved.

For their second Immunity Challenge, Tree Mail hinted that the two tribes would go to the "First Annual Survivor Benefit Buffet", only to reveal that they were to eat *Butok,* a beetle larva. It was a close race, even ending up in a tie. At the tiebreaker round, both tribes had to pick the most squeamish member of the other tribe. Tagi chose Pagong's Anne and Pagong chose Tagi's Iskra. In the end, Iskra was first to swallow her grub, thus winning Tagi's first immunity challenge.

Back at camp, Camilla and Stephan spent some time together working on the shelter after the challenge, bonding over their childhoods while weaving palm fronds. Viktor's work around camp really impressed the tribe, with Viktor single-handedly bringing home enough food to feed the tribe for dinner. However, after their first loss, Pagong was divided between Anne and Frank, with both seen as potential challenge liabilities moving forward.

Over on the Tagi tribe, despite winning the immunity challenge, camp was in turmoil. Iskra and Lois ended up fighting with one another over work ethic around the tribe, involving Nikolas and Seema into the ideal, with the second fight blowing everything out of proportion.

The Pagong tribe then attended their first Tribal Council of the season.

At Tribal Council, Anne and Frank recived 4 votes each, forcing the tribe to re-vote between the pair. In the re-vote, however, the tribe voted unanimously against Frank, making him Pagong's first casualty in a 6-0 vote.
