Survivor

So You Think You Can Meke?

Season 14, Episode 8, Aired 4/5/07

Episode Summary

At Ravu, while Dreamz and Lisi are asleep, Alex, Edgardo and Mookie dig for the hidden immunity idol and successfully discover it.

Before going to the reward challenge, both Moto and Ravu will have to learn a traditional Meke, a type of Fijian dance.

At the Reward Challenge, the judges viewed Moto's three areas good enough to be the winners of the challenge.

Moto enjoys their reward and dance in the night hours.

On Exile Island, Lisi has been exiled and says it sucks so much that she doesn't want to be there and thinks about quitting.

At Moto, Earl and Michelle want to dump Stacy before the merge. At the Immunity Challenge, they use three weapons: bow/arrow, spear and blow dart. Moto scores in these three areas, winning immunity.

At Ravu, the vote was being split between Dreamz and Lisi.

At tribal council, Lisi and Dreamz argue. By a 4-1 decision, Lisi Linares becomes the eighth voted out and the second member of the jury.moreless

Great episode! Very entertaining!

Oksy, I have to admit that the season has definitely become much better now. It has become quite obvious that - at this point - the bonding within the tribes has become more solidified... or has it? If you like anything about this series, you will really enjoy watching as the teams learn to Meke and perform the dance. Earl is simply amazing in this performance, and his tribe looks really fierce - so much so that even Jeff and the local tribesmen are genuinely impressed. Can anyone guess which team makes it to tribal council?moreless

What I love about this season of Survivor is that the underdogs to seem to be winning now. How many times has people made fun of Yau Man, and he keeps kicking their butt. These strong, buff guys can't throw a spear and the old man can. Made me laugh. You go Yau Man, my vote is for you. And Lisi, ug, everyone is a loser? I think the only loser is you. Didn't she say the challenges weren't that important, who was the only one not in sinc with the dancing, and who complained that nobody even tried. The only loser I saw was Lisi. Good-bye you whiner.moreless

Nice pun on the episode title! Wrong move on the part of Lisi to tell the wrong people whom she think she could trust about the clues of the Idol whereabouts. Good job on the Ravu 3 who found the Immunity Idol! She is sent to Exile Island with no benefit since the idol was already found. And ultimately, she is sent to the jury side at the end of the episode.

It's one of the rare times a challenge is won based on judges. Earl is a good dancer! Nice! Moto continues to win, but then, this could be attributed that they are the "well-off" tribe. And Yau-Man has good archery skills, maybe he has already experience in the past, considering that he's a Computer Engineer! Way to go, Yau! Earl, the Meke leader didn't have to have his turn at all because his team already won the round; Yau, who sat out on the Meke came out strong this time. Talk about sitting down and stepping up!moreless

This was an episode that showed just how out of place Lisi was in participating in Survivor. She showed contempt for the Reward challenge yet whined when she was sent to Exile Island. There are rumors that she knew little about the show prior to this season and it shows....

Other than that, Yau-Man continues to show that he is a man that should not be dismissed in challenges despite his small stature. His thinking before the Immunity challenge led to a very impressive performance in many ways.

This was a fun episode to watch and with both immunity idols now found, the next couple of episodes should be exciting to watch as well!!!moreless

I'm surprised that people did not like this episode; I thought it was pretty good. In the beginning it was exciting to watch them look for the idol when their tribe mates where right there. I think it was really interesting that they chose not to show it to Lisi even though she told them where it was. Their decision made sense because she could easily tell someone about it if she were to get in a bad mood (which happens a lot with her). If she had stayed it would have been really interesting to find out how she reacted when she found out they had the idol. I am glad she left because she was annoying, unreasonable, and a little crazy. She was also so bad at the strategy in the game. If she had thought before she had told everyone she wanted to go home, she would have defiantly still been in the game. Even though I didn't like her she always had a new way of keeping me entertained, and I will miss that.

For once, I really liked both the challenges in this episode. The dancing one was good because it was original and we had not seen something like it before. It was fun to see what kind of dancing skills everyone had. I also liked the shooting challenge because I like them when they are simple and just about one skill. In this challenge I particularly loved how Yao-man dominated. I would not have expected the tribe with mostly girls to win this one, especially with Edguardo's comments but they managed to come through. I am really surprised and happy about how well this tribe has done, although the tasks no longer seem to be that physical.moreless
