Week three on Palau follows the survivors from the sixth through the eighth night. Ulong continues to dominate in the reward challenges. Oh, and Koror's Caryn gets in Katie's face with her thoughts on their interaction. Some tribe mates entice sharks and then try to kill them with sticks. But no rats. Oh well.

The show opens with Stephenie of Ulong talking about the Kim and Jeff relationship. She's not the only person worried about the couple and the possible alliance. Jeff swears it's not an alliance that they're "keeping each other warm." Kim's a little worried that host Jeff made a point of discussing the relationship at tribal council.

"I think the thing between me and Jeff has just been exaggerated by everybody talking about it," Kim said. "I don't want people conjuring this image up in their head that's not accurate and thinking that this two-person alliance is like strategy. I don't want that image."

James then makes an excellent point.

"Right now they're cuddlin', next week they're gonna be makin' out. You know, suckin' face and stuff," he says. "She's a woman and all she's has to her advantage is her sexuality."

Koror isn't full of the secrets, but is getting more rain than they expected and their shelter is still undone. Oh, and Coby is apparently a big fan of the little tiny underwear. This is not a good thing.

While talking about how to build the shelter, Katie's giving her opinion. This does not settle well with Caryn.

"Katie's a very, I don't know what the word is, it's not outspoken. It's tart," Caryn said. "She has something to say all the time about everything."

And then Caryn has a few more words about Katie -- right to her face. Caryn pulls Katie aside and yells at her while Katie sits in a canoe and looks a bit bewildered.

"I was just sitting on the edge of the boat," Katie says. "She (Caryn) just comes up to me and she's like 'Do you have a problem with me?' and I'm like 'What?' and I started laughing 'cause she was just so irate."

Caryn stomps off after the shout fest before Katie gets to say anything. But Katie apparently catches up with her.

"If there wasn't animosity, there is now 'cause I don't like people yelling at me," she said as Willard and Stephenie look on.

Katie, by the way, is running at 60 percent popularity on the CBS boards with Caryn at 50 percent. So neither of them is exactly safe.

After all this tension on both tribes, we get a look at them on the day's reward challenge. This tribe that wins this physical challenge will win a sewing kit. And when you think sewing kit, you should be thinking giant scissors, twine, thread, safety pins, metal bars -- your basic tool kit with needles.

For the challenge, life rings will be released and the competitors will have to swim out, grab the ring and take it to their tribe's pontoon. The first person to touch both the pontoon and the ring at the same time will win. The first two in the water will be two men; the next two women. Next teams of one man and woman will compete.

Caryn and Willard sit out the competition for Koror, sitting pretty with no visits to the tribal council.

Tom and Jeff are the first two in the water. Tom dives in, races for the ring and Jeff lets him, waiting for him to bring the ring closer to the pontoons. Tom puts the ring around his waist and Jeff grabs him, and drags him toward the pontoon. Tom struggles for a while, but Jeff successfully gets the first point for Ulong.

Round two has Jen and Stephenie in the water. Steph is the one this time to race to the ring while Jen holds back. Although it looks like a huge chunk of action (inaction more than likely) was edited out, we get to see the two in a "good old-fashioned cat fight" as host Jeff says. Ulong wins this round as well.

In the third round Bobby Jon and Angie from Ulong take on Koror's Gregg and Janu. Bobby Jon is first to the ring, just right about as Angie gets all up in Janu's face and dunks her. Then Angie dunks Gregg. Basically, Angie is kicking everybody's butt here. Janu seems to just be watching. Ulong, strong as ever with youth wins the reward. Now if they could just figure out how to get this team to work at the immunity challenges, but they'll have another night of rest before that comes along.

Meanwhile, host Jeff has some words for Koror.

"Ulong earned it and they won it. I got nothing for you," he says as Janu looks like she's in some serious pain.

Back at Ulong's camp, the tribe is elated as they examine their sewing kit.

"That was so awesome," we hear from the background. "We totally kicked their ass."

Ibrehem seems a bit confused by what host Jeff meant by "thinking creatively" with the kit, but Bobby Jon immediately has ideas about how he's going to catch fish for the tribe.

Out in the ocean with the fishing spear, Bobby Jon gets some more of the tiniest fish you've yet to see. He's out working again and his team's lazing about is beginning to wear on him.

"We still got a few things to do though," he says. "There's a lot of stuff that's not done that we need to do."

"I'm very disappointed with my tribe right now," he says. "there's little things that have to done. I'm not going to wait for everybody to have a group meeting ..."

So he knocks down coconuts while Kim looks on and gives her opinion.

"The first days it was fine, I like doing stuff for people," Bobby Jon says. "But man, they'll let you do everything out here if you keep on doing it."

Bobby Jon's getting a bit fed up with Kim and her lack of a work ethic. Kim comes back and says she thinks Bobby Jon just works too hard and is going to wear himself out before the competition is over.

Back with Koror, we find them discovering adventure on one of their beach walks -- killing banded sea snakes (some great video of the snakes in the wild). These snakes are venomous. Really venomous. So Tom, Ian and Gregg hatch a plan to catch them for food. No one can accuse the Koror boys of fear.

Ian chops the snake head off and Katie gives us the recap.

"I work with dolphins, I love animals so to just kill the snake outright and cold blooded wasn't for me, so I did feel bad," Ian explains.

Tom and Ian find some more snakes while Gregg heads back to base with the girls. The Tom and Ian team, of course, then kill all they can find. These boys are looking to be unstoppable.

"It was a little foolhardy, a little sense of adventure," Tom says of the snake hunt. "But I've hooked up with two other knuckleheads who take fun in the excitement of things like this."

The snakes are hung to dry, and some sharks take notice. A few come circling near the shore and Koror grabs some sticks and heads for the water.

"You know the motivation is there," Tom says. "We have to get food in us."

Bits of dead and bloody snake are tossed into the shallows and Ian, who's apparently over his squeamishness, stands nearby with Tom to try to stab the sharks with pointy sticks. Um, right. Sharks vs. pointy sticks. No one gets hurt, and that includes the sharks.

"We're going to get a shark," Tom says as we head into another commercial. (Tom's the favorite to win on the CBS.com boards.

The seventh night starts off on Ulong's beach and Jeff trying to make a run for the little boys room. Unfortunately he rolls his foot on a coconut and twists his ankle. Even though he tries to keep it elevated over night, it's still a bit swollen and painful in the morning.

On the beach we get to see Bobby Jon fashioning a bit of a diaper for himself out of some of the sewing kit supplies. He and Jeff get a good early morning laugh.

Bobby Jon then comes back with tree mail -- a mail talking all about pure strength. Jeff knows his limp isn't going to help the team or him.

"If I mess up today, it's on my shoulders," Jeff says. "... I want to carry this tribe all the way to the end of the game. I'm going to do anything I can to do that."

Back on the beach, host Jeff explains the immunity challenge after questioning Jeff about his limp.

For the challenge, each person will wear a belt clipped to a common rope and the tribe must move together. Each person will also have to carry a backpack with 20 pounds of sand in it. The tribes will then walk around a giant loop in the water, trying to catch the other. The first tribe to touch the other tribe will win the challenge. A tribe member can drop out, but their backpack must be given to someone else to be carried.

Koror sits out Jen and Janu, probably a wise decision for a strength challenge.

Right away Jeff drops out, handing his weight to Bobby Jon. Caryn's out soon after him, handing of her backpack to Tom. Willard's out next (Willard, really, have you helped yet?) and hands his weight to Gregg.

Kim, unsurprisingly, falls down and is out, handing her weight to Bobby Jon (he's up to 60 pounds). Angie hands James her weight. Katie drops out of Koror's line. Stephenie's the only woman left in the lines.

Time passes through the magic of time-lapse photography. The heat and the weight begin to way on the tribes. Tom, however, pushes into leader mode and keeps Koror on the move. Coby drops out then. And, seriously, please someone give Coby access to the sewing kit. The boy needs some clothes. Ian takes Coby's pack and hands it to Tom (who's also up to 60 pounds).

It's now Koror's Tom, Ian and Gregg marching against Ibrehem, Bobby Jon, Stephenie and James. Tom gives out the plan to dash through the shallows and walk through the deep. James drops out and Bobby Jon's now carrying 80 pounds as the tide starts to roll in.

Tom's plan proves successful for Koror once again. Ian, the island's scrappiest guy, takes the lead for Koror and grabs Ulong's Ibrehem to win immunity for Koror once again. Tom and Ian are looking to be the pair to watch out for. Jeff and Kim and nothing compared to those two.

(Another side note, the lamest commercial award for the evening goes to 'Spring Break: Shark Attack.' Read washingtonpost.com's snarky comment at the end of this article.)

As soon as they get back to the beach, Ulong's Jeff apologizes to his tribe for having to quit. He sounds like he's going to quit and Bobby Jon doesn't look like he'd care one way or the other. Jeff tells the team they should vote him off.

The tribe mates, though, don't all think that's the answer. In some private conversations we find out that James wants Kim to go.

"We didn't want to vote him (Jeff) out," James says. "He's strong. He does a lot around here."

And Bobby Jon wants Kim to leave.

"We should get rid of Kim, for sure, tonight," Bobby Jon says. "Jeff's weakness is our strength. Even when he's down, he's 10 times stronger than Kim."

But Angie tells Bobby Jon she's voting for Jeff. Bobby Jon lets her know why he thinks it would be a mistake.

"I'll be danged if I'm going to feed somebody and they don't do nothing," he says in regards to Kim.

Angie stays firm in her decision. Until she and Bobby Jon get watch Jeff chopping coconuts in half with one stroke. She sounds a bit undecided now.

James lets Jeff know "it's not logical" to vote him off.

"I don't know what conversations are taking place, they could all be over there conspiring," Kim says into the camera. "... I definetly think there's a chance that Jeff could be here tomorrow.

At tribal council host Jeff starts the questions with Ibrehem and how it feels to "continually get pummeled in these challenges." Ebrehem says he knows if Jeff was full force, they would have won the challenge.

Bobby Jon thinks the difference was Koror's Tom.

"He's a man," he says. "He's a man among men and he single handedily whipped us, I think today."

Ibrehem doesn't think it was just Tom and that having an extra man would have helped out.

Stephenie then talks about Jeff's conversation on the beach while Jeff smiles on.

Ibrehem gets asked about who's doing the work. he says that not working can play a big part in who gets voted for. And then Kim starts to fidget.

"It's not that I'm frustrated," she responds to host Jeff. "I'll admit to you it's hard being on this team when you have these guys who are super strong. ... and it's frustrated losing, I am so sick of being here.

"Our tribe has obviously manifested itself to be a tribe that the strongest stay and the weakest go. And it's not that I'm weaker than the average person, it's just means that in this tribe that might be where I fall."

James takes about the day-long dilemma to decide what to do with Jeff and then the tribe goes off to vote.

The voting:
James casts the first vote, for Kim.

"You are lazy," he says. "You don't do anything. You got out of the race today, early. You are not a helper."

Next comes Stephenie, then Ibrehem.

Kim then votes for Jeff, telling the camera that this was what he wanted.

Angie casts her vote and then Bobby Jon votes for Kim.

"I'm not going to play you and Jeff's little silly ass game," he says.

The vote tally:
Jeff
Jeff (he actually looks concerend and not smiling now)
James (he looks completely shocked)
Kim
Kim
Jeff (back to his happy face)
Jeff

After dousing the fire out Ulong's Jeff, Host Jeff sends the tribe mates back to the island asking them to think about how they're going to turn the night's vote into something positive.

Jeff's credit comments:
"There is a huge part of me that wishes that I had not injured myself to the point of being unable to help my team advance in the game," he says. "It was my choice and I know that by making that choice, my team is going to advance further in the game."

"Ulong, it's time to take Koror to the cleaners."

Next on Survivor:
Desperation and decisions.
