The next morning, it's Day 19. Troy is up, drinking coffee, while everyone else is still sleeping. He takes advantage of his solitude to look for the Immunity Idol. He reaches into a couple of holes in trees and seems to find it pretty quickly. He puts it around his neck, just for the feel of it and whispers, "This could take me pretty far." He's not wrong.
Immunity Challenge. The tribe walks in and Probst asks about their new name, "Tikiano." Troy explains about the "Year of the God" thing and Probst doesn't comment, because it's dumb. Then again, my suggestion for the tribe's name would be like, "Tribe" or "The Bev Niners" or something equally dumb and not island-related, so I guess I shouldn't make too much fun.
Probst reminds them that they are now playing for individual immunity. The challenge is to stand on a small log while balancing a ball on a wooden disk. At regular intervals, they will add more balls, making it more difficult. If they drop a ball or step off the log, they're out and the last person standing wins immunity. Simple enough.
Each tribe member steps up on his or her perch and balances a ball on a disk as Probst counts down. A gust of wind comes up and blows the balls around a bit. Tarzan loses his balance after like ten seconds so he's the first and only one out in the first round. They get a quick break before stepping back up and putting two balls on the disk. Christina is the second person out and then Probst notes that Michael has "balls hanging on both sides of his disk." Oh, he's having fun with this. Anyway, Michael's out. Chelsea's out. Kim's out. And the second round ends.
