The final days for the castaways are counting down. The only thought on each castaway's mind is the quarter of a million dollars he/she could win, and everyone is reevaluating his/her relationships with the other castaways. But nothing is interfering with the friendship of Professor Tiy-E and Gilligan Shawn . Skipper Charlie has his own thoughts about the Professor and Gilligan. "Professor Tiy-E and Gilligan Shawn have bonded," Skipper Charlie remarks, after seeing the Professor shave Gilligan's chest. "It's none of my business how well they've bonded or what they do with their bond."

Meanwhile, the girls are getting down to business, deciding who they want to send off the island. "It's difficult to think about who we have to send home next," Mary Ann Randi says. "I do think that the strongest competitor is Tiy-E." Ginger Erika replies, "I just want you [Randi] to know that you do not have to worry about me."

After Professor Tiy-E and Gilligan Shawn's bonding session, they start to plan their own strategy. Gilligan Shawn says, "At this point there are only five of us left on the island, and our only hope right now is Erika or Mary Ann Randi. We are going to have to grab their vote to get rid of Skipper Charlie."

Ginger Erika cannot be easily swayed, though. The Professor and Gilligan try to convince her to vote the way they want, but Erika doesn't see eye-to-eye with them. She says, "I think right now the one thing I am clear on about my strategy is that I do not want to have an alliance with anybody."

The radio brings the castaways' scheming to an end by telling them to prepare for a reward competition. The news bothers Gilligan Shawn. "As much as I would love a reward competition, I want to start eliminating some of these schmoes," he says. "I need a quarter of a million bucks and I need to get the hell out of Dodge."

Host Scott meets the castaways on the beach. He shows them five plates of good food and movies sent from home. The castaways must make a choice between the food and the movies. There is a catch though. If a castaway chooses the food, then only he/she can eat the food. If they choose the videos, then all of them can watch their videos sent by their friends and families from home. The way they choose is by placing gold nuggets that are hidden all over the beach either onto a scale or into their own chest. If the nuggets outweigh the videos then they each can watch the videos sent from home. Whoever's chest is the heaviest in the end can eat the first real meal they have had in weeks.

Ginger, the Professor, and Gilligan all go for the movies. Mary Ann and the Skipper go for the food. The three place enough gold nuggets on the scale to tip it their direction, so everyone wins the home videos. Mary Ann and the Skipper now have a face off between who gets the food. The Skipper beats Mary Ann Randi and wins his plate of food. Gilligan Shawn is happy to see Skipper Charlie win over Mary Ann Randi. He says, "I was happy to see that Skipper Charlie got the food over Mary Ann Randi. Anytime anyone on the face of the planet gets something over Mary Ann Randi makes me happy."
