Christa’s Wedding (03:34)

Clip description: Christa postponed her wedding to her fiancé Peter in order to compete on SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS. Insider gives you a front row seat as Drake throws Christa a wedding she will never forget.

Burton (confessional): Christa was supposed to be married today. And obviously that wasn't going to happen.

(CHRISTA LOOKS SAD).

Rupert (confessional): My plan for today is to give her the best she's had.

THE TRIBE COOKS A LOT OF FOOD. POPCORN, PINEAPPLE, BEANS.

Burton (confessional): RUPERT took the initiative to have a mock wedding for her. We all went out to a special place (BY THE SHORE ON ROCKS) and Rupert made a statue of her soon to be husband, Peter.

JON HUMS "HERE COMES THE BRIDE"

<<<<<AND IT'S THE SURVIVOR WEDDING!>>>>>

(CHRISTA EMBRACES THE SIX FOOT TALL PIECE OF WOOD STUCK INTO THE GROUND)

Sandra: Christa married a piece of wood. And she held his arms the whole time.

Jon the minister: Marriage is a sacred thing. When I think of marriage I think of macaroni and cheese, what I find sacred.

Jon (confessional): It was a blast. Of course there was a little comedy involved.

Jon the minister (to wood stump): Do you take Christa to be your lovely bride? To provide her with kindling and other woodly possessions?

Rupert (confessional): I was a little pissed at Jon because I wanted it to be more serious. And Christa's fiancé is named Peter and that just feeds Jon.

Jon the minister (to Christa): Do you take Peter in your pans?

Sandra (confessional): John is such an ass. I mean he's just so damn stupid it's ridiculous. I don't even want to hear him open his mouth.

Jon the minister (to wood stump): For richer or poorer. For wetwood and not so wetwood.

Christa (confessional): Stupid Jon making all of his stupid jokes all the time, but you can't expect anything less from Jon.

Jon the minister (to wood stump and Christa): I now pronounce you man and wife. (CHRISTA KISSES THE WOOD).

Christa (confessional): We all had a good time, of course I was the only one crying. Just show me love when I need it most.

Rupert (confessional): It meant something to her. It meant something to me. I love that wedding we had.

Andrew’s Thoughts (06:26)

Andrew (final words): I walk away with, seriously, a great satisfaction that this is the toughest thing I've ever been through. Mentally and physically, hands down, I could take it. I could take it through Day 39. I could take it through Day 69. It's a real test of mental fortitude and of stability. For anyone who signs up for this, there's always a question in their mind whether they can hack it. And I know I can. And it's very comforting to know that.

CUT

The one thing that surprised me the most was that the lack of food didn't bother me that much. It sounds silly, but in the real world, you have plenty of food. You get a little hungry, you get some hunger pains and you have a snickers bar. Here you have small portions, that's a luxury. I thought my body would complain a lot more but it didn't. Your body adjusts your mind adjusts.

What did bother me was the lack of food in my system that resulted in a lack of energy. I have a lot of energy. I like to do a lot of things. Great work ethic. But when you don't have a lot of food in your system, it's very difficult to pick yourself up and do those things.

CUT

Being part of survivor is being part of a close knit group of friends who have the unfortunate accident of being in a plane crash on a deserted island. There's no other way to describe it. I was going to compare it to some sport, a rugby season but that doesn't even compare.

CUT

There are many similarities between the game and real life. In real life you're thrown curve balls all the time. Here, every day something would crop up challenging.

(SKIPPED BORING PARTS)

The reason I'm sitting here right now is because Lill was voted out as the third person in our tribe. And she took that personally. Because as a strategy, we chose Darrah over Lill, because Darrah was stronger in the water. End of story. Lill decided to go with the Drake tribe because she knew that I was tighter with T, Darrah and Ryno. And Lill would be the first one to go.

So what would I do differently? I would probably....when Lill came back to the tribe to try and convince her that she was more part of the tribe. But that wouldn't have worked, because she could see that me, D, T, and Ryno were air tight.

So Lill switching to the other side. Nothing I could do about that. I change my answer. Nothing I could do about her.

CUT

They (Drake) were on fantasy island. They were complaining about running out of lentils, beans and rice. And they had 20 pounds of fish every day. They had no idea what we went through. And I want to say to all the Morgan tribe members, including Lill, cheers for what they went through. And to even the score to 5-5 tribe mates. That was an astonishing accomplishment given what we were going through.

....

Andrew Finally Eats! (04:19)

ANDREW talks about his birthday (39th) and how he was so happy he ate. He describes eating and it's really boring. Then he goes and whines about not catching fish for the 7th week in a row! LET IT GO!

A Stormy Discussion (03:50)

Morgan discusses who they think will come back as the outcast. Nothing interesting. Boring boring boring.

A Paranoid Tribe (01:40)

Clip description: Insider brings you to the Morgan tribe as Andrew reveals his growing sense of paranoia. Is Tijuana conspiring against him, and if so, does he have a back-up plan?

(AT MORGAN CAMP BEFORE MERGE)

TIJUANA SITS NEXT TO LILL ON BEACH

Lill (to Tijuana): I'm OK. I'm OK. I'm glad I'm back.

Andrew (confessional): This morning I saw Lill and Tijuana having a serious conversation out of an earshot. Maybe they're just talking about the old days, but my sense is not. I may be paranoid, but I don't think I'm paranoid. I think something's going on, which is fine.

I don't necessarily trust Tijuana right now. I think with the exit of Osten, she may have a different strategy going on.

Lill (to Tijuana): I see we really have some issues going with food right now.

Tijuana: Yeah. One serving of rice.

Andrew (confessional): Today definitely began a new day for myself. My sense is that she's trying to rally the troops against me. She thinks she would be better off with me gone. ....Me, Ryno and Darrah have formed a backup alliance.

Andrew (to alliance): No one is going to take over this tribe. We got a lock on it.

Darrah: I'm sticking by y'all.

Andrew: D, don't question my loyalty. Because I am solid.

Darrah: I am too.

Tijuana (confessional): I saw Darrah, Ryno and Andrew talking as if they'd been best buddies all along. My gut feeling tells me that Andrew and Ryno are one with each other and that Darrah would be their swing vote. And I would be the fourth man out.

Morgan Has Mail (01:58)

N/A

Voting Booth (07:20)

SAVAGE: Little John, you talk too much smack

JON: Ooh yeah. Mr. Macho, Mr. Savage going down! Dig it?

RYNO: [ed. votes for Jon] It's not because I don't like you. I just don't know you that well. It’s too early in the game. I don't know. You're the only one I could vote for. Alright man, see you around.

DARRAH: I'm voting for you tonight, John, because of my alliance. Uhm.. Otherwise, you're a pretty cool guy, but I really haven't gotten to know you that well.

CHRISTA: [ed. votes for Andrew] You are our biggest threat out here. You're such a smooth talker, dude. Bye.

LILL: [ed. votes for Andrew] It's time I stood up for myself. I'm so happy that we (inaudible).... I would have been gone anyway. This is for me standing up. This is for my friend Nicole. And this is for Ryan Shoulders. He does have 110 percent heart.

BURTON: [ed. votes for Andrew] Purely a strategic move to keep my alliance strong and to tear your tribe apart.

SANDRA: [ed. votes for Andrew] I really didn't know you so there's not much I can say about you. Usually, I like to say ugly things, but my alliance wants you gone, so it's time for you to go, you know? Adios.

RUPERT: [ed. votes for Andrew] After the feast, I tried to offer you a deal. It would have got you to six, easy, and maybe more. You would have gotten your three and my three all the way. You tell me no. Then you come back two minutes before this damn council and you tell me: "Okay, I take the deal." I can't change everybody after that. Your own team starting turning on you after that. You're gone man, I'm sorry.

TIJUANA: Johnny Fairplay, this message goes for you. Uh... You came away to our camp and you, uh... stirred things up at the Morgan Tribe. Thereafter, I heard some things about you coming from your tribe. Some say that you're a troublemaker and that you're very manipulative. And when it comes down to it, my tribe thought that you would be the person to go. So, I know it probably won't affect you tonight, but it may sometime in the future.

The Outcasts Make a Decision (08:30)

RYAN S.: This vote is for Burton. He is beyond deserving. He brought the challenge home for us today and I know he'll represent us well.

Lil, I would never put your name down unless it was for something good. If it's not me, I hope it's you.

TRISH: Burton, I'm voting you back in because I know you can win the individual immunities and I think that, uhm, you have a real shot at winning the whole thing. If I can't win, I want another Outcast member to win. So, good luck buddy, I hope you can do it. I know you can get back in the game.

Lil, I'm voting you back in the game, because I think that you, more than anybody, has... had something major to prove. I know this is extremely important to you and I know that you will work with Burton to get down to the Final 2. You'll do whatever it takes and, uhm, I hope that you both, you and Burton, will get to be in the Final 2. Good luck.

BURTON: Michelle, you're the only person in this game that I've talked to and trusted and you're the only person that's never lied to me. I hope you get a chance to go back in.

Nicole, you're a really strong athlete. They never gave you a chance at the beginning. I hope this is your second chance.

LILL: Ryan, you were my friend from the very beginning. I recognize that you were my only friend from this whole time. You accepted me no matter what and I want you in almost as much as I want to be in and I hope that we can be together. Thank you.

Trish, I've only known you for a very few hours, but the sincerity that came out when you were talking to me and the respect I get from you. I know I'm older than you, but it was nice having someone close to my age to talk to. I hope you get to go back in.

NICOLE: Ryan S., I'm voting for you because I quite honestly think you can easily win this game. I hope that you do.

Lil, my vote's for you. Quite honestly, because if I get... end up getting sent back to camp, I don't want to listen to you complain anymore about not being in the game. That's why I'm voting for you.

MICHELLE: Obvious, though, out of the 16 people here, the most deserving person and the most capable. I think he can go all the way. Good luck, Burton.

Nicole, ah... this is for the underdogs. Ah... I know you're one bad ***** and I know you'll go and get 'em, so... good luck.
