Ethan and Frank fetch the mail, which contains a clue about strength, ability, and brains. I'd say our S8 are out of luck. The reward is an "evening getaway," and they should "each choose a friend" with whom to compete in the challenge. The clue is not very cryptic, and recycles the "outwit, outlast, and outplay" part of the show's motto. Back at camp, the tribe deliberates as to how to pair up fairly. Lex Loser thinks that if they start choosing teams, "it's gonna get uglier than it already is," and no one pulls a Jerri. They decide to choose from a hat, and Kimj is happy to end up on the same team as Ethan; Ethan feigns the same excitement. Actually, Kimj should be scared to be on Ethan's team. Impulsive clumsiness may be hazardous to the health of those around you. Tom and Kimp are another team, and they dub themselves "Big Bear/Little Bear." The last two teams are Teresa and Lex Loser, and Brandon and Frank. Mark Burnett's good, I tell you. He's even bribed their baseball caps. The tribe thinks the Brandon/Frank pairing is hysterical, but if they knew the truth about Teresa's vote for Lex Loser two councils back, they'd double their fun.
