"Survivor: Pearl Islands" has claimed a new victim: Christa Hastie, the computer programmer from Los Angeles, was given the boot on Thursday night's edition of the CBS reality show in a 4-2 decision.
Upon taking her leave, Hastie, 24, remarked, "I wasn't quite expecting to get voted off tonight. It's really surprising to see how everybody out here fooled me at every moment of this entire game."
Earlier in the episode, the tribe split into teams of three for the reward challenge, a water obstacle course. The reward? A night at a spa that offered showers, massages, dinner and real beds.
The team of Darrah, Lill and Jon took an early lead and maintained it. "This was, bar none, the greatest reward we could be given at this stage in the game," Jon Dalton, 29, the bad-guy art consultant from Danville, Va., said at the spa. He also secretly promised the women that they were going to end up in the final two with him.
The Balboa tribe then met for the immunity challenge, which involved firing muskets. Christa took an early lead by hitting her first two targets, followed by Darrah, who also hit two. But in their face-off, Darrah won the immunity -- for the second time in a row.
When the tribe returned to camp, Christa was told the alliance was voting Lill out, just as Lill was told Christa would be booted. As Christa would say, "Lying is the way to go out here. Everybody has done it, and everybody has done it well."
