Last week's show ended with the Morgan tribe, now down to five members, after having voted Lillian, the Boy Scout leader off, returning to camp and Drake tribe feeling very near invincible. How long can that last?
I missed Episode 4! I was away from home, away from TV, and away from my computer. So, a very brief recap taken from Survivor Pearl Islands:

Morgan tribe, hungry, thirsty and depressed, lost the Reward Challenge and thus the clue to the Treasure Chest, which, when Drake tribe castaways found it, held candles and candleholders, canned foods, sugar, honey, blankets, coffee beans and chocolate.

All this bounty when they were already eating well thanks to Rupert's fishing expertise. However, the contents were moldy and smelly, provoking disappointment and Jon Dalton's caustic remarks.

But all was not well with the Drake tribe. Personality clashes, alliances and angry words, plus Jon's unceasing complaints and attitude created a volatile situation.

On Morgan's island, a fishing expedition led to naught, and as their prize for winning the Reward Challenge, Drake castaway Trish Dunn pirated the Morgan tribe lantern, leaving the Morgan castaways increasingly bare. They continue to have trouble with their camp, due to tide and crabs and ants. Question: Why don't they just move it?

However, they got their revenge during the Immunity Challenge. Drake team sat out three team members, including two of their strongest players, Rupert Boneham and Burton Roberts. Was this due to Rupert's agreeing to Burton's suggestion that they throw the Immunity Challenge to vote off one of the women?

At any rate, Morgan tribe won, and as their surprise reward, earned the right to kidnap a member of the other tribe until the next Immunity Challenge.

No fools they, they took Rupert who can bolster their morale, teach them to fish, and lend his strength to the next challenges.

With Rupert gone, and alliances scheming, Jon got drunk with power - literally. He gloated he was the puppet master, and at Tribal Council, in a surprise move, the Drake castaways, voted off Burton in a 5 to 2 vote.

However, with Jon's attitude, should he he be the next to be voted out of Drake tribe?

Stay "tuned" for the next episode of Survivor 7: Pearl Islands when:

A rising tide threatens to wash away one tribe's shelter.

While looting the losing tribe's camp after the Reward Challenge, one castaway bonds with the opposing tribe.

Though acting out of loyalty to the tribe, one Survivor fears being seen as disloyal.

One castaway's failure to follow through with the tribe's Immunity Challenge strategy leads to a very close, tense, gut-wrenching finish.
