After losing back-to-back challenges, the Fang Tribe was the first to go to Tribal Council. Torn between voting out Gillian, the weakest person in
challenges, or Michelle, whose constant negativity around camp began wearing them down, Fang came to a unanimous ecision. In a landslide vote, Michelle Chase, the 24-year-old music assistant from Los Angeles, California was the first person to be voted out of SURVIVOR: GABON -- EARTH'S LAST EDEN. Michelle leaves behind her final words: "I'm not really surprised. Losers stick together. Fat people stick together. They decided to keep Gillian, who's like a hundred and five, and to vote me, who's twenty-four and completely fit. I mean they're all idiots. They're all voting off the strongest member, so it's going to be interesting to see what happens. Very interesting."After losing "GC" as their leader and another immunity challenge, the Fang tribe's morale had reached a new low. At their second Tribal Council, the tribe came to the conclusion that they needed to
get rid of the weaker players if they are to win any challenges. Although paranoia had risen around camp that Dan may have found the hidden immunity idol on Exile Island, it was Gillian who was sent home. The tribe agreed that she was the weakest player, with seven out of the eight votes cast against her. Gillian Larson, the 61-year-old nurse from Temecula, California leaves her final words. "There's a huge part of me that would've wished that I could've won Survivor Africa because I am still not done with wanting to play it. I guess it doesn't work to speak your mind when you know you really shouldn't. I should've just continued flying low under the radar and I didn't. It's been an absolutely fantastic experience and I wish the tribe good luck because I think they're gonna need it."| Fang | Kota | |||||
