My comments:
It was sad to see Jenna crying because not being about to see a video of her girls. And I actually think that she intently miss shot so that someone else could see their video, that is what makes her a great woman. I do not have an opinion either way about Greg getting kicked off. I do have an opinion about him not talking to the media about his experience. I would love to find out his motives, but we shall never know.
What CBS had to say about the episode:
Greg Buis, the lovably eccentric Ivy League graduate, was voted off Pulau Tiga tonight. Greg invented the "nature phone" during his island stay, using a coconut as an imaginary communications device. Though loved by his fellow tribe members for an irrepressible sense of humor and a somewhat defiant view of island living, Greg was unable to form a protective alliance.
His stay on Pulau Tiga ended after 24 days. "This is the best time I've ever had," he noted after walking off the Tribal Council set. "I love that blend of reality and make-believe."
Meltdown
The most poignant moment of recent island life came for Jenna during the Archery Reward Challenge. Each castaway was shown a one-minute clip from a home video prepared by their loved ones. The challenge winner would get to watch the remainder of their five-minute video.
Jenna, the mother of twin girls, was ecstatic over the prospect of seeing them on film. She practiced and practiced her archery, determined to win. There was just one catch: she was the only castaway who hadn't received a video from home.
So as the other castaways watched their family movie, Jenna shed tears of sorrow. And though she had practiced harder than anyone else, she was too unnerved to shoot straight. Greg won the Challenge.
End of the Line
Greg's undoing was the End of the Line Immunity Challenge. Castaways were tethered to a length of rope via carabiner. Each castaway was tethered to a length of rope via carabiner. The first castaway to race from one end of their rope to the other - around trees, over logs, through rattan thickets - received immunity. Thanks to Sean's "Alphabet Strategy," by which he hopes to avoid animosity by casting votes for his fellow castaways in alphabetical order, either Greg or Gervase had to win to maintain their island position.
Unfortunately for Greg, a determined - and increasingly island-savvy - Gervase sprinted like a madman. "Gervase needs to win every Immunity Challenge to stay on the island," he said of himself. "You wanna know my strategy - that's it."
Sensing that it was his last day on the island, Greg took a long walk alone on Rattana Beach as the sun set. An hour later he was on his way across the island to Tribal Council.
