Survivor generally has a tribal swap sometime throughout its run but on Survivor Gabon the tribes got swapping just a bit earlier then usual. On the last episode we saw Paloma sent home, even after trying to get the tribe to turn on enemy Ace. Following that leave the Kota tribe returned from their, much needed, Tribal Council with an outcast: Kelly. Being only friends with Paloma, Kelly now had nobody on the tribe and realized she would probably be the next to go if they lost. Since Paloma was gone to hate on Ace then moved onto hating Kelly, calling her a fat cow for no apparent reason at all.

Over at the Fang tribe things were back to normal with Randy telling everyone the truth about their rice situation yet them all still wanting to eat three meals a day. While Randy, Dan, Susie and Matty went to “collect fruit” the three remaining tribemates realized they had to bind together to stay in the game. GC, Crystal and Kenny then created the first alliance on Fang but they weren’t the only one. Out in the woods the fruit gatherers were also creating an alliance splitting the tribe once again but not for long!

When was the last time you heard someone say their profession was mining for gold? It’s been awhile since the gold rush but America’s Toughest Jobs is bringing it back! The crew remained in Alaska this week, returning to Anchorage for their mining ordeal. With their bosses in tow the 11 remaining workers hiked to gold mining central: the creek. At the job site the crew was taught how to both pan for gold as well as drudge. Their first day was all about panning the good old fashioned way.

For the first three or so hours nobody was hitting any gold. The bosses said they weren’t necessarily looking at how much gold they found but how well they worked individually and as a team. After a few hours of no luck Sandy, once again, stepped up the game by finding a chunk! Rick and Michaela followed shortly there after and everyone was on the gold rush bandwagon. Although everyone found SOME gold, others were just not getting it. The boss couldn’t believe how some of the crew, especially Ben and Phil, were just sloshing the pans around. They felt after a full day of panning they should have got the hang of things but apparently its harder than it looks. Phil, who was lacking in the gold department, got knocked down another knock by actually getting knocked down. While crossing the creek (a big no no) Phil took a tumble and could have been washed away in the frigid water. Luckily only his bucket got washed away and he came out with only  a cold.
