BOBBY JON GETS IN TOUCH WITH HIS PRIMAL INSTINCTS, ON "SURVIVOR: PALAU," THURSDAY, APRIL 7 ON CBS

"Neanderthal Man" -- Several weeks on the island brings out Bobby Jon's primitive behavior, on SURVIVOR: PALAU, Thursday, April 7 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network.

A castaway becomes irritated with the tribe's living conditions and lack of maintenance around camp, which has attracted unwelcome visitors.

With the Ulong tribe down to two members, Stephenie becomes increasingly concerned with Bobby Jon's cave-dwelling behavior around camp. The castaways get a chance to sample a Palauan delicacy, which can be rather difficult to swallow. Who has the will to stomach this indigenous cuisine? After the reward challenge, a disagreement on how the reward should be enjoyed leaves one person feeling defeated and annoyed with the final decision.

And, the ninth member is voted out of the tribe.
