Day 5 Aitu Tibe The camera zooms in on a rainbow of fish that the tribe has successfully caught off the shore of their little island. They’re obviously finding much of what they need to survive, and seem to all be doing their part to contribute… except for Billy. Billy, still dressed in black, sits beneath the shade of a tree as activity goes on around him. Since his lack of survival skill was uncovered early on… he has taken to sulking and feeling unappreciated and isolated by the rest of his tribe. Billy explains to us that he is trying to conserve energy. Since everyone else seems to know more about fishing and getting coconuts, he’s going to “let them do it as opposed to expending energy.” The rest of his tribe tries to get him involved, but every time anyone asks him to do anything, he looks like a hurt puppy and shuffles through the effort with as little heart and enthusiasm as possible. Ozzy is clearly getting frustrated, and tells us that he is tired of having to tell Billy what the tribe needs him to do. Cristina has a soft spot however, and is not a big fan of Ozzy’s ever since the chicken incident… so she sits down with Billy to try and understand why he is distancing himself so much. The Man In Black whines, and says he just doesn’t feel like he fits in with the tribe. He adjusts his black bandana, pulls on the neckline of his black heavy metal T-shirt, and continues… saying that even though they are all from the same background, that in actuality, “Metal is my culture.” Yeah, Billy… here marks the beginning of the end for you. Little did we know that you were also preoccupied by thoughts of Candice, imagining you and her and your cute little blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Mohawk-sporting, leather-wearing babies running around. Puka Tribe Over on Puka Island, we find Cao Boi smushing Jenny’s face in a similar fashion to what we saw him do to Brad last week. It seems that Jenny got a headache from working in the hot sun, and went to the resident witchdoctor for a cure. As much as she may have been earlier questioning Cao Boi’s approach and given Brad a bad time about the bright red “indicator” on his face, she is voluntarily subjecting herself to the same treatment, with the addition of a couple big whallops to the back. Soon she has a smile on her face along with a bright red mark between her eyes… and her headache is gone! Cao Boi has worked his magic once again. His charms wear a bit thin however by that evening when the tribe is bedding down. Like a giddy girl at a slumber party, he is endlessly telling Asian jokes to the amusement of no one else but himself. The rest of the tribe is clearly annoyed, and they all try to explain why it is inappropriate to be telling ethnic jokes, even if it is about people of your own ethnicity. Cao Boi will have none of it, and states that to represent your race is not about avoiding the obvious joke. Speaking of which, he asks… can I tell you one more? This man is going to wake up and find his training bra in the freezer. Aitu Tribe On Night 5, we find Billy asleep and snoring in the Aitu camp, with the rest of his tribe up, awake and clearly agitated. Ozzy throws a suggestion out to the rest of his tribe, asking them to consider purposely throwing the immunity/reward challenge tomorrow in order to create and opportunity to get rid of Billy. J.P. agrees, and we hear him tell us that he was thinking the same thing and was happy when Ozzy actually brought the idea up. The girls however, are not as convinced. Cristina, still stinging from the chicken incident, is happy to disagree with Ozzy. She doesn’t think it’s a good idea, and thinks it would reflect badly on the tribe if they threw one of their members under the bus. (Personally, before Billy went all goofy on us at Tribal Council, I would have to agree. You only have FIVE members to begin with. Even at their worst, another body is good to have around when you’re competing against other strong tribes. Little did I know that Billy was going to soon display strange and disturbing characteristics that would make be happy to drop him off in a slow rowboat to China. Guys that imagine full-blown love affairs with girls that don’t even know them are the same kind of guys that hear voices and shouldn’t be trusted with machetes lying about. I know I keep focusing on the machetes… but that’s because they’re fricken’ machetes.) By the end of the evening, Cristina still hasn’t signed on to the “Ditch Billy” scheme, and is instead looking at Ozzy with distrustful eyes. If he could ditch Billy now, certainly he could turn on her in the future… Hmmmm, something to think about.
