As night fell, sleep didn't come easily for the Morgan tribe. Rocks fell from above, while hermit crabs bit the members from underneath their makeshift shelter. Uneasy in his new environment, Osten was momentarily shocked when he mistook a vine for a snake.
The Drake tribe also found sleep difficult, but for far different reasons: they celebrated their new home by getting drunk. As the cheap Panamanian wine was passed around, inhibitions were lowered, especially those of Jon Dalton, the 29-year-old art consultant from Danville, Virginia. The more Jon drank, the more jokes he cracked and the more he annoyed his tribemates. "He talks too much crap, all night long, cursing. He thinks it's cute, but it isn't. It gets old," explained Sandra. FASHION CLUB
As morning came, the still-uncomfortable Drake tribe worked together to make their clothing more manageable. Still wearing his heavy suit, Shawn cut his slacks at the knees and made them into shorts. Sandra made shoes of branches, while 24-year-old Christa Hastie, the computer programmer from Los Angeles, cut her skirt in half and supplied Rupert with a new outfit to replace his heavy, wet jeans. "It's done: I'm wearing a dress," Rupert rejoiced, "I'm never gonna put them pants back on!" WATER AND FISH
Dehydrated and struggling to find water, the Morgan tribe was relieved to find directions to a freshwater well on their map. Upon arriving at the well, Ryan Shoulders and Lillian bonded while filling the canteens. Lillian remarked, "The one person who befriended me with sincere friendship was Ryan Shoulders. Ryan's a good kid."
Meanwhile, at the Drake camp, the alpha males were emerging. In a battle of providers Burton Roberts, the 31-year-old marketing executive from San Francisco, California, proudly returned with the tribe's first catch. Not to be outdone, Rupert spent the day spearing fish after fish. "I'm coming out here to be the caretaker. I'm trying to make these people believe that there is no way they can get along without me, and I think I'm doing it, " smiled Rupert.
