The final tribal challenge was a rescue mission. Each tribe started with one tribal member who had to answer a trivia question - when they were correct, they were able to rescue the next tribal member and get the next clue. The chain continued until the final person was rescued. Some survivors one each tribe attempted to win the challenge, but ultimately Dustin, Chris, and Cindi did a very good job of throwing the challenge, and again Kamaku would go to tribal council.

:: PALI CAMERA CONFESSIONALS ::

Amber talks about her goals.


My goals are always changing in this game. When I first came in this game, I said I was here for myself. And up to about 2 days, it still was. However, If i cant win this I want someone good to win. My goal is to have some nice people in the end with me, If i make it. My number 1 goal is to win the game but with friends in the end such as tim, Kevin, Martin, Charlie and Gia. They are all very deserving people to me.

Tim was asked about...*gasp*...alliances.

Oh my God...I'm still confused by that. Have I? I can't even remember. Ok, there was Charlie's whole "I love you guys so much, we should be a final 6 alliance" thing, which I said fine to. And then there's poor little Vinny, who made an alliance with me, Amber, and Kevin. I don't even know. Nor do I care whether or not I'm in an alliance. It doesn't matter to me anymore. People are being skanky alliance-wise, lol.

                                               
:: KAMAKU CAMERA CONFESSIONALS ::

Dustin talks about alliances.

Old alliances run the same as far as I know. The order may have changed some, as I would like to see Chris take Charlie's place in our final three pact, but that was starting to happen before the switch, so.... Also, I'm sure you read my e-mail where I offered "immunity" to Mike in return for his vote. I don't see that it hurt Kamaku any. Instead of Mike going, Martin will if we lose. Thus if Mike does go with us we are certain to have a one up at the merge. If not, then we will be 5-5 hopefully and Mike will go second if we can win the vote. If Mike does go with us I have every intention of making it well worth his time. He will definitely outlast Vinny, and I would try to see to it that he goes past Gia. I couldn't promise anything more, though he would deserve to go at least final four for taking apart his former tribe. In my book, loyalty and honesty are rewarded. Dishonesty and throwing loyalty to the wind goes against what I believe and will get you no where with me.

Chris explains the deal with Mike.

Well, we approached Mike and proposed an offer.  It was that we wouldn't vote im next if we lost the challenge, and we would vote Martin.  In favor, he had to vote w/ us at the merge.  I doubt he is telling the truth, but the offer can't hurt us in any way becuase he was going to vote against us anyway, so now we have a chance for him to vote w/ us.
