Foa Foa and Shambo arrive at camp. Foa Foa are pissed to lose the reward, but Shambo points out that she has a right to be even more pissed. Way to minimize everyone else's suffering, Shambo. They sympathize with her and say they're happy to have her there. She says she's happy to be there because Foa Foa is kind and good and always tell the truth. Shambo asks for a group hug from Foa Foa and they oblige her, even Li'l Russell. As Ashley and Natalie hang out on the beach, Mick interviews that he's annoyed with Ashley for losing the challenge for Foa Foa. Yeah, it sucks to lose steaks, but did you see those sea slug guts? That was not easy. I don't think Natalie could have done it. In fact, as Natalie and Ashley take a seat on the beach, Natalie says she probably couldn't have finished the smoothie, either. Ashley worries that she'll be the next person to go now. Natalie tries to reassure her and tell her how awesome she is, and that makes Ashley feel better. Natalie interviews that she was sincere in that, as she and Ashley are "like sisters."
Back at Galu, Russell demands that everyone listen to his stupid speech before they can start cooking and eating their reward. He says he sent Shambo to Foa Foa because she lost the chicken, and now that she has "suffered some consequences" to clear her "slate." Shut up, Russell. This meaningless tribe chief stuff has gone to his head. He seems to think it's a good thing, rather than a giant target that becomes even bigger when he has to make decisions that are sure to cause dissension amongst the ranks. He commandeers the fire-starting for the barbecue and, according to Dave Ball, does a terrible job of it. He blames that on all the kindling being wet, but Dave Ball speaks up that all they need is a spark, air, and fuel to start a fire. "Dave, you do a lot of talking but not a lot of action," Russell says. Dave Ball says he was the one who started the fire in the first place, and it only went out when Russell sat down and started playing with it. He'd be happy to help if they ask him. One of the girls tells him that if he can start a fire he should just go ahead and start it. Dave Ball says he has to get the command from the tribe chief. Russell Rory Freemans that Dave Ball is a "grown ass man" who can take initiative. Since when? Isn't Russell all about telling people what to do and making stupid tribe leader speeches? Meanwhile, the blonde just sits there and rolls her eyes. I think she even gave the camera a brief look. She just might be awesome. Dave Ball interviews that he has a tendency to patronize people without knowing it, and he's afraid he'll do that in this game. Dave Ball has a good read on himself, I'd say. In our brief interactions I found him to be pretty patronizing and he probably didn't mean it then, either. He apologizes to Russell and offers to shake hands, which Russell says is not necessary. Dave Ball takes a turn trying to start the fire and is successful. I think that whole spat was more about Russell being really annoying and everyone's tempers being short because they wanted food than anything else. Dave Ball interviews that he appears to be the only person on Galu capable of starting a fire, but he doesn't need to play that up because he thinks his "awesomeness" "speaks for itself." And then we get plenty of shots of the women eating large sausages.
