Paranoia starts to set in on Survivor: South Pacific, especially with people starting to realize that everyone can't take everyone to the end. This Upolu alliance that brags about their strength and unity is going to have to turn on each other in about two seconds so people need to start making decisions for themselves.

But first, we're taken to Redemption Island where Keith, Ozzy, and Jim are about to duke it out to stay in the game. The challenge seems simple enough - balance two poles on your arms. You'd be surprised how quickly you start to shake and sweat. Jim goes out first, followed by Keith. They become the first two members of the jury and Ozzy lives up to his promise to send people on their way.

In the immunity challenge, players balance bowls of rice on their heads, make their way through an obstacle course, and fill up a giant bowl. Sophie pulls out a big win, which keeps that target squarely fixed on Dawn and Whitney.

Knowing their backs are against the wall, the Savaii girls approach Albert about a plan to blindside Edna at tribal. He turns around and tells Cochran he'll definitely be voted out seventh. Albert's actions do not go unnoticed by Brandon and Coach, which could be dangerous for him. I never understand paranoid Survivors who don't realize how obvious they're being that they're trying to hatch some plan to make a "big move".

At tribal, Whitney points out that Cochran will be the first one gone when she and Dawn leave because he's the newest member to the Upolu alliance.  Coach admits to being worried about a crack in his alliance but he's also always watching everyone's moves.  He tries to say that he's not the leader of the tribe but of course, Whitney isn't buying it and quickly voices that.  When the votes are read, no Upolu member flip and Dawn is sent to Redemption Island.

Oh wait, it's not over yet!  Sneaky Probst tells the tribe members that they're going right into another immunity challenge with a vote to immediately follow.  In a quiz about survival related questions, if you get one question wrong, you're out.  Before you know it, only Whitney and Sophie remain.  Unfortunately for Whitney, she not only loses but is sent to Redemption right on the heels of Dawn.

Survivor: South Pacific airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on CBS.
