She's On Duty

**She's On Duty** is the fifth episode of *Survivor: Samoa.*

## Story

After their very first Tribal Council, Galu seems to be in a pretty awkward state. Dave and John both admit they weren't super close to Shambo, but felt like Yasmin was a bigger liability and that most people were voting for her. Dave especially is worried that he might become the next target, and begins to work hard to socially fit in on the tribe. Meanwhile, Russell S. begins to develop a core alliance on the tribe. Yasmin has always been his closest ally, but he begins to pull in three people he feels are strong and reliable: Brett, Laura, and Monica. These five agree to work together, forming a majority alliance on the tribe. Later on in the day at Galu, Russell S. is walking alone in the jungle, and he stumbles across the Galu idol in a stump. Excited, he celebrates quietly to himself before hiding it. Meanwhile, on Foa Foa, both Betsy and Jaison still seem to be prime targets. However, Jaison has begun to socially integrate himself into the tribe better than Betsy, who is struggling to connect on a social level with a lot of her younger tribemates. However, she is a workhorse around camp, trying to prove her worth, while Jaison often does not do his share of chores around camp.

At the Reward Challenge, Galu blows out Foa Foa as they usually do, earning their bathing suit Reward. Later on in the day, the whole Galu tribe enjoys their Reward by swimming out in the ocean, Erik and Kelly sit together on the beach. They talk about how a lot of the tribe is bonding and coming together, but they feel like they might be on the outs a bit, and that they need to look out for each other in the future. Dave is very funny during their swimming party as well, making the tribe like him with his social game turned up all the way.

At the Immunity Challenge, Foa Foa loses once more, going to their fourth Tribal Council of the season. While the rest of the tribe does not have a solid alliance, they agree that Betsy and Jaison are the two easiest targets and one of them should go home. Betsy has been struggling to connect to the tribe, and she goes hard after Jaison, listing various reasons why he should go home and refusing to talk to him to distance herself from him. Meanwhile, Jaison knows he is seen as lazier than Betsy but does his best to be kind to the tribe and be someone they want to live with. The tribe seems to prefer this to Betsy's militant attempt to stay in the game; at Tribal Council, Betsy is voted off unanimously for not fitting in with the rest of the tribe.
