Episode 3 – "The Rice Thief of Judge Island"
Part 4

Tribal Council, Night 9
The Berajilo tribe enter the Tribal Council area for the first time, where Judy tells them to grab a torch and dip it into the flames to get fire. They then take their seats, with Rachelle awkwardly perched on the end, next to a hessian sack which she has carefully positioned on the floor. Judy asks the castaways various questions about tribe dynamics, including who appears to be on the top (Justin says that “we’re all equals here”) and who is on the bottom (Kenton, Hallie and Steadman reply “Rachelle” in unison). It soon becomes clear that the tribe are unable to lie about their plans to vote out Rachelle, prompting Judy to tell them that it's best if they “cut the bullcrap” and get straight to the vote. Rachelle is up first, and she takes her bag of rice with her to the voting booth.

---

Rachelle (voting for Edwina): “Our father, John Travolta, who art in Ocala, Florida, please let Edwina be struck by lightning at some point in the next three minutes. Amen.”

Jordan (voting for Rachelle): “Honey, J’Tia did the rice thing better.”

Edwina (voting for Rachelle): “I wish you nothing but happiness and I hope you get to eat all the rice you want when you get out of here. Godspeed, Michelle.”

Judy collects and tallies the votes. Before reading them, she asks if anyone wishes to play a hidden immunity idol, and if so, now would be the time to do so. Rachelle immediately stands up and reaches into her bag, causing her tribemates to hold their collective breath in fear. Instead of pulling out an idol, she pulls out a handful of rice, which she proceeds to throw in Edwina’s eyes.

“I’m not sure what that achieves, but okay,” Judy says, as Edwina scrapes grains of rice out of her eyeballs. Judy then reads the votes…

“First vote… Rachelle…”

“Second vote… Rachelle…”

“Third vote… Rachelle…”

“Fourth vote… Rachelle…”

“Third person voted out of Survivor: Judge Island… Rachelle.”

Rachelle, who was already on her feet, gladly collects her torch, knocking Edwina on the head with it on the way out. She then blows out her own torch before Judy has a chance to snuff it, and with one last cackle, leaves the Tribal Council area with rice bag in tow.

“What a pleasant woman,” Judy quips, before telling the remaining seven Berajilo members that now they’ve had a taste of Tribal Council, they’ll have a taste for only blood from now on. Well, blood and rice. She then bids the tribe goodnight as they leave the Tribal Council area, with Edwina rubbing her head as she does so.
