"Survivor: One World" shaken by storm, women's victory
The women, with a barely adequate shelter in fair weather, suffered the most in the rain, especially when their fire went out, robbing them of the last bit of warmth. But it was not necessarily a bad thing, since the team at last began to win some challenges. (SPOILER ALERT)

In the reward challenge, which involved memorizing and recreating the order of a line of items, the women clearly dominated, although Kat continued to show her dimmer side. (it took her seven tries but she still beat her male opponent!)
It was the first time in this game that the women had won a challenge and their reward was a canoe and a set of fishing gear. Yet they refused to share the boat with the men, even though the men had given them shelter in their tarp-covered camp and shared their fire the night before.
The women also won the immunity challenge - navigating a maze blindfolded to retrieve puzzle pieces that they then had to put together. But it was close. The men tackled the maze handily and were almost done with the puzzle when the women started putting their pieces together. Suddenly, the big lead disappeared and the women fitted the last piece of the puzzle together ahead of the men.
The men headed to their first Tribal Council and the game's first blindside. Matt, who headed the younger men's alliance, was sure he was calling the shots as he tried to recruit Troyzan for a majority. But Colton aligned with the older group - misfits, one might say - and set Matt up for ousting.
Is Colton really the power player that he seems? Will admitting he has an idol hurt or help him? Will the women learn to share? And will all the foul language over on the men's team ever stop?
