Sausage Fest

Sausage Fest is the tenth episode of Survivor: The Australian Outback.

Day 27 (Night)
The final seven return to camp having just blindsided Clarity from the game, with the three remaining Kucha members feeling overjoyed now that they've managed to gain the upper hand over the rival Ogakor members. Both Farrell and Ned, having been blindsided themselves, not expecting anyone from their alliance to flip, decide to question both Ned and Curt on their move.

An argument breaks out between the four ex-Ogakor members, whilst the ex-Kucha members sit and watch, pleased to see their rivals falling apart before their eyes. Reniero decides to try to sleep, leaving Carlson and Alia alone to enjoy the show.

Day 28
The entire tribe lay around camp, having run out of rice the previous evening, leaving them without any food. Alia wipes tears from her face, stating that she's never felt so ill in her life, feeling as though her body wont last out until day 39. Carlson attempts to comfort her, trying to take his mind off his own hunger and fatigue.

Victor heads down to the river, hoping to catch some fish, whilst cooling himself off in the water. After waiting an hour, Victor accepts the fact he'll head back empty handed, worried as to how the tribe will be able to function without rice.

Ned, Farrell and Curt lie together by the fire, which hasn't been lit all morning, as the tribe have nothing to cook. Farrell attempts to talk Curt back into joining them, but Curt seems to have little to no interest in joining his old tribe members again. Curt tells the two that he'll only accept what they have to say after Ned apologizes for calling him an idiot, leaving Ned and Farrell speechless.

The tribe spend the rest of the day doing very little, complaining amongst themselves at the lack of food, feeling as though they wont be able to make it any longer unless they find a replacement for the rice.

Day 29
The final seven receive tree mail informing them that they will be facing a very special reward challenge, with each tribe member receiving an envelope containing 500 Australian Dollars. As the group arrive at the reward, Jeff informs them that they will be taking part in a food auction, which is met by the screams and cheers of all the Barramundi members, feeling ecstatic now that they've been given the opportunity to eat.

The three members are applauded by their tribe mates, before the first item is brought out for bidding. Carlson, Reniero and Victor sit silently during the auction, feeling some regret after viewing all the items up for bid. Alia, Curt, Farrell and Ned enjoy the array of food and drinks brought out for them, trying not to rub it in the faces of the other three members. After the auction, the tribe head back for camp, with Reniero carrying the rice on his shoulders, smiling at the prospect of being able to eat a good sized meal. Challenge: Survivor Auction

The Barramundi tribe met host Jeff Probst at the Reward Challenge, the first Survivor Auction. Each person was given a money pouch that contained 500 Australian dollars that they would use to bid on various food items. The tribe return to camp, all with their spirits high having filled their stomachs, with the exception of Curt, who is angered at buying a glass of dirty river water. Farrell, Ned and Alia thank the three who gave up their money once again, allowing them to cook up some rice for themselves.

The rice argument continues, with Ned eventually walking away with Farrell by his side. Curt gets his way, sitting down to eat a portion of rice with Reniero and Victor. Alia and Carlson sit quietly, trying to keep on good terms with Curt, knowing that his antics make him unstable, and that they'd prefer to keep on his good side until his vote is no longer of use to them. Ned calms down, stating that he cant hide his anger towards Curt any longer, and that after the reward challenge he will see to it that either he or Victor are the next to go home. Farrell however remains disappointed, worried that Ned's sudden mood change will mean their demise is set in stone.

Day 30
The group receives tree mail informing them that they will be facing their next individual immunity challenge. With no one having any single targets in mind, there is less need to worry about an individual winning. However, most members wish to win in order to make their game look more impressive, knowing that a jury will respect them if they are able to win individual challenges.

Challenge: Fire and Water

Castaways will have a very high seesaw-contraption with two small drums, one on each side (the first side has a small hole at the bottom, while the their drum was hollowed in the middle). They must create a large fire in the hollowed drum, while filling the other drum with water (the logic is to keep the fire going while filling the water can to rise the fire can). The first person to ignite the fuse on top of their seesaw wins.

Winner: Reniero The group return to camp, trying to shield themselves for the rain storm which has formed overhead. The group congratulate Reniero, who has gone on to win his fourth straight immunity challenge. Alia, Carlson, Victor, Curt and Reniero climb into the shelter, with Ned and Farrell lurking outside, quickly trying to work out who they should target.

As the rain dies down, Ned and Farrell manage to speak with the old Kucha members, trying to get them to turn on Victor, who unbeknownst to them is considering voting out Carlson. Ned and Alia speak, with Ned listing reasons as to why they should vote out Victor. Farrell does the same with Carlson, claiming that the three Kucha members will guarantee themselves a win if they remove Victor from the game. After finishing their conversation, Alia goes back to Victor, informing him of Ned and Farrell campaigning against him.

At tribal council the group are met by deathly glares from Clarity, who seems angered at her recent departure from the game. Curt stares her down, while Victor avoids all eye contact. The group discuss the change in the game following the previous tribal council, with Ned stating that Curt and Victor had flipped on the group, showing themselves to be untrustworthy individuals, before going on to state that Victor is doing a good job at working his way into the game, having overcome a minority position "twice". Victor tries to claim that the reason he flipped was because he felt at the bottom of the Ogakor alliance, and that it was just part of the game. The tribe discuss the situation with the new rice, with Curt once again raising his voice over being called out for eating despite taking part in the auction. When asked if they think the tribal will bring about new change, Farrell and Ned state that they "hope so", as the old Kucha have a good chance at making things "very easy" for themselves, by voting out Victor, who has shown himself to be the master of gaining the upper hand. As the votes are revealed, Ned and Farrell are left alone in voting for Victor, whilst the larger alliance chose to stick together, sending Ned home in a 5-2 vote, deeming him to be a bigger threat then Farrell, due to having more friends on the jury and in the tribe as a whole.
