ET has your "Survivor" scoop!

Thursday night's "Survivor" tribal council will go down in history, as the tribe backdoored a favorite to win the whole game -- OZZY.

The 26-year-old world traveler, who was born in Mexico and raised in the U.S. and Central America, excelled at challenges and took the reins as the natural leader of the game, even possessing the Immunity Idol. In the end, the confidence that propelled him to victories was his downfall, as his tribemates turned against him and secretly voted him out.

The episode opened with a reward challenge that involved swimming an obstacle course and re-creating a puzzle. Of two teams, Ozzy, AMANDA, JASON and ERIK won the prize, while CIRIE was unfortunate enough to not have been picked for either team and was sent to Exile Island.

The winners were treated to a flight to a Micronesian island called Yap, where they were greeted by villagers and treated to a feast. Erik exclaimed at the topless women serving dinner, "I'm sitting there waiting to get my food and the lunch lady doesn't have a top on. ... That's probably the most boobs I've ever seen in my life."

Erik interacted with the villagers, eating the native "betel nut" and jest-swordfighting. Ozzy appreciated Erik's positive attitude, saying, "I really love going places with Erik because he has this naive, wide-eyed sense about things. ... It's wonderful!"

But things weren't so wonderful for Erik when he spent the evening throwing up: "I partied a little too hard Micronesian-style. Beer and betel nuts -- not a good combination."

Meanwhile, Cirie spent a lonely night in the thunder and rain on Exile Island, where she contemplated a coup, musing, "Maybe I'll just work on getting rid of Ozzy and his idol."

Back at camp, JAMES woke up the girls by chopping wood and sharpening his axe. PARVATI stirred and complained grumpily to James to be quiet, which upset him, because, as he put it, "[I've been] maintaining the fire all night."

Meanwhile, after returning from her reward, Amanda faced concerns about Parvati's loyalty, saying, "I worry about Parvati. She has put herself into an alliance with NATALIE and ALEXIS."

With tension abounding, it was time for the tribe's immunity challenge. The challenge involved standing on a small, vertical log with one wrist harnessed to a bucket of water -- if they pulled their wrist down, the water would spill, and they would be out.

After a short while, host JEFF PROBST offered a small bowl of candy to whomever would quit. Cirie and Erik made a deal to share the candy, and they were out. James remarked at this turn of events: "What in the Nickelodeon is going on around here?"

After 45 minutes, Jeff came out to offer the tribemates another tease, but before he could reveal it, Alexis lost concentration and her water tipped over. Before she could ask for the cookie and milk that were offered, Natalie's water also tipped over. James said, "That would suck," and in the process of speaking, accidentally tipped his water over.

Finally, after Ozzy traded immunity for three donuts, it came down to Jason and Parvati. After over five hours, Jeff offered a feast to share with the tribe to whomever would quit. The entire tribe each personally vowed that if Jason would quit, they would promise not to vote him out. Jason made the deal, later saying, "I'm taking a chance here. It could be my biggest mistake in the game of 'Survivor' or it could be my saving grace."

Back at camp, everyone secretly mocked Jason for thinking they would all follow through on their word. Ozzy referred to Jason's move as one of the "dumbest and most naive moves in 'Survivor' history," and said, "He just got outwitted."

Meanwhile, a plan was being hatched to outwit Ozzy himself. Cirie, Alexis, Natalie and Jason pitched blindsiding Ozzy to Parvati -- the very same woman who made an alliance with Ozzy early in the game.

At tribal council, Ozzy was so confident that he didn't play his immunity idol -- and when the votes were read, he seemed floored when his name was announced as the most recent cast-off. Jeff himself said, "Well, that was a very big blindside. And that makes things very unpredictable."

In his parting words, Ozzy called himself an "idiot" and a "fool," but had words for the unknown person who had betrayed him (Parvati), "Right now I pretty much hate you. So, screw you, basically."
