The last episode ended with a surprised Richard Hatch voted off the island. When his tribe, Mogo Mogo, lost the Immunity Challenge after absorbing Ethan Zohn and Jerri Manthey, the tribe first thought of voting off Ethan. However, Colby created a counter move and citing Richard's arrogance and deception, got the rest of the tribe to vote for Richard.

Episode 6 begins on Day 15 when Colby Donaldson speaks of the reasons he plotted against Richard Hatch, also called Hatch, saying people ?cannot coast? in this game.


Day 16 begins with Mogo Mogo team discussing Richard?s ouster, pleased that he?s gone, although Shii-Ann Huang says she?ll miss the fish he brought in. Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien says they got rid of the ?biggest power player.?

In Chapera camp, the castaways are wondering who Mogo Mogo tribre voted off, and more than one Survivor hopes it was Richard Hatch. Tom Buchanan and Rupert Boneham bond over fishing, although Big Tom frets that Rupe might take his place as provider, a role Rupe would relish. He?d like to bring in fresh fish and oysters every day. Rob Mariano is perfectly happy to have Rupe continue to provide fish until the time for Rupe to go ? and that time will be decided by Rob.

Meanwhile, Ethan Zohn and Shii-Ann are resting in the shelter, where she is upset that Ethan revealed her ?stay under the radar? game mode to the others. He castigates her, saying that it?s too easy to let someone else be the bad guy while she goes along with other?s decisions. He tells her everyone has to play the game.

She tells the camera later that he is ?Captain America? with his perfect teeth and they are equals in game playing, though she?s not dumb enough to tell him that.

Rupe offers to help Susan Hawk dig cone snails from the rocks, but she refuses his help.

Sue?s had a bad night. She?s been reliving the incident at the Immunity Challenge when a naked Richard Hatch pushed himself against her. She feels violated. At the time, she made only a comment and continued to play, but she?s been worrying about it ever since. She?s getting angrier and more upset, worrying over the incident and worried about what her husband will think. She cries, and the other women try to comfort her, but they are powerless against her anguish. Alicia Calaway advises her to get mad and rid herself of her anger.

Rob doesn?t know whether she is seriously disturbed or is using the incident as leverage in the game. Rupe sees that she is distant and non-responsive. Sue refuses food and spend the day by herself, worrying her tribe mates. All but Big Tom, who has never gotten along with her, and now says that she is overbearing, and ?Stick a fork in her. She?s done.?

Over in the Mogo Mogo camp, Jerri Manthey is making a grocery list of food items she?s craving. Kathy wishes she?d stop talking about food so early in the game. Lex van den Berghe, who up to now had taken a back seat to Richard, goes fishing. He proves himself to be an accomplished fisherman, and brings back a number of fish for the tribe. Ethan Zohn is content to let Lex do it. Lex says to the camera that he?ll ?keep the girls fed so they?ll have no compulsion to keep the other guys around.?

Rob and Amber Brkich ask Rupe and Jenna Lewis walk away from the camp to discuss their situation. They agree to a four way alliance to the Final Four against Alicia and Sue and shake hands on it. Later, Rupe tells the camera that he feels he can trust Jenna, and maybe Rob and Amber. However, Rob says privately that its ?my game, buddy,? and he?ll vote anybody off when he?s ready. Remember the alliance and handshake he shared with Rob Cesternino?

Will Rupe regret his trusting nature?
