Bob is a straight-up genius. Evil or otherwise, his fake immunity idol is freaking classic genius. And, he very smartly decides to fess up to Sugar that he did this. I think distancing himself from Randy and Corinne is his best bet to stay in the game. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Nutty Professor, but he is growing on me with this one.
Speaking of Randy and Corrine, I hate ‘em. Nuff said.
Since the tribes are all merged up, there isn’t much in the way of what’s going on early in the episode. Kenny, Crystal, Sugar and Matty are pretty much running things, and Bob & Suzie are along for the ride.
Reward Challenge is the famous auction for food. Randy gets Beer & Peanuts a whole lot of money. Kenny bids on the second item and sends Bob back to Exile – oh and he gets his cash too. Sugar spends $340 on a mystery item, and scores big with a bowl full of peanut butter with a half dozen chocolate bars sticking out of it.
Item 4 is a bath with a set of the winner’s clothes. Suzie wins, and Sugar tells Kenny he should’ve taken it ‘cause she would’ve cuddled with him. Item 5 is a burger and fries, Matty takes it.
Item 6 is a mystery item, and Kenny gives it to Randy – it’s a bowl of Spaghetti, glass of wine and Garlic Bread. Kenny gives up a bottle with a sealed clue for the next immunity challenge to Corrine. Randy pays $20 for the tribe to get cookies for everyone. Kenny misses out on everything when Probst abruptly ends the auction.
For some reason, Randy turned into a serious dick over the cookies, and made a big deal about Sugar wanting to give her cookie to Matty. He swears she hasn’t seen the worst of him yet, and he seems even more pathetic and miserable than usual. He admits he was drunk and pissed off when he left, but it doesn’t seem to have worn off – I’m pretty sure that’s just his personality.
Randy and Corrine whine and pout about no one listening to them, and Matty tells him to stop being an ass. Corinne offers him the chance to work with them, and he seems to be contemplating it. I hope he can see that he’s just their fourth, and they are totally trying to use him. I’m hoping Bob and Matty hook up for a secret alliance.
At Exile, Bobby realizes he should’ve gone for the limp gourd, and goes on a mini Safari to kill some time. Gosh, I hope a lion doesn’t mistake him for a giraffe!
Randy comes up with a little diabolical scheme to get rid of Suzie – he’s gonna be himself all day. Wow, that’s genius. He’s counting on Bob giving him the Immunity Idol, and ha ha they vote Suzie out. Sweet. This is Bob’s perfect chance to use his sweet idol, and make Randy look like a fool all at the same time.
At the Immunity Challenge, Corinne gets to open her bottle – it’s a free ride to the final round of the competition. Lucky her. She wouldn’t have made it, so she gets a chance to win. There’s no way she’s gonna get it.
The Balance Beam challenge consists of carrying bags of domino pieces, and Kenny, Matty and Corrine are the final three. I’m betting on Ken.
Maybe I was wrong. Kenny knocks his dominoes down, but he recovers quickly enough to get done before Corrine does. Kenny tries his first, but he messed it up. Matty gets ready to push his blocks, while Kenny and Corrine jump up to do theirs too. Corrine doesn’t make it, neither does Matty – Kenny wins Immunity! Boo-Yah!
Back at the camp, Randy pulls out all the stops trying to save his ass, after he spent the whole day showing just how big of one he is. Bob and Sugar head off to the jungle, and Bob tries to be completely honest with her. She believes him, and I think they are forming a tentative alliance.
Sugar actually encourages Bob to offer Randy the fake idol – and Bob is all about that. He knows that if he can trick Randy, he will gain the respect of the other half of the tribe. Corrine drags him off, and tells him not to trust anyone but her. Wow, she sounds desperate. Randy acts like he couldn’t care less about the idol, but Bob suggests that Randy might need it – and Randy nonchalantly says he loves the way Bob thinks.
Ooh, this is going to be the best Tribal ever. Seriously. I’m dying to see this. You know Randy is going to be so damn arrogant about having Immunity, and Probst is going to shut him D-O-W-N!
I don’t know, but Marcus and Charlie look pretty smug – like they’re sharing a secret none of us know about – yeah, we know about you two.
Randy can barely contain himself, he is just so eager to use this idol. During the voting, Corrine tells Suzie that “Paybacks a Bitch” – but I think she said that wrong.
Sugar nearly blows the whole charade when she can hardly keep from laughing – but sure enough, Randy hops up and presents his idol to Probst. Corinne winks at Ace and Gary in the jury seats, and everyone is dying when Probst says this is NOT a hidden Immunity Idol. Corrine shakes her head and Bob actually looks a little remorseful. Not sure why…
And, the 11th person voted out is RANDY! Oh, that was sweet. It would have only been better if it had been Corrine. Oh, and Randy wants everyone to be bitten by a Green Mamba – nice.
Tune in next week to see Bob tell Corrine that Marcus hid that idol that was in the bottle they threw into the ocean.
