First of all a big thank you to Flipit for covering the minicap for me.  I had to be at the airport super early on Thursday, so I knew I wouldn’t be able to even think about the minicap until Thursday night at the earliest.  You rock, Flippy!!

So….I was a little bummed by a couple of things that happened this episode, Gasmi.  I won’t get into it all now, but I had to start out by saying that.  There’s a lot to talk about this week so I’m gonna stop wasting time and jump right in!

Malcolm and Denise have returned from voting out Russell and now they’re wondering if they’ll keep competing against everyone else or if they’ll be split up and put on the other tribes.  Malcolm knows the odds of them against everyone else are long, but he doesn’t want us to count them out just yet.

There’s power in my ponytail

Something that would help with those odds is finding the immunity idol, so after they swipe the mosquitos off their faces the next morning, they are on a mission to find that damn idol.  They know that their looming trip to the upcoming reward challenge may bring about a tribe mix up or merge or something, and given that this may be the last time they’re on their beach, they decide to find the damn thing if it’s the last thing they do!

Uh oh.  Looks like they’re going about it the Russell way

They turn their camp upside down, Denise digging around trees, Malcolm overturning everything he can.  Suddenly it seems like something might have clicked.  Malcolm heads over to the rice container, but looking inside, finds only rice.  At this point I was yelling at my TV like a lunatic because that was SURELY bound to help them.

IT’S RIGHT THERE!!  THERE, THERE, THERE!!!!!!!

Denise is turning it upside down and they’re looking at it every which way and I think I might have an aneurysm if they don’t spot the fucker soon.  Then FINALLY, Malcolm borrows the machete and pries what we know is the idol off of the container.

THANK YOU!

Malcolm knows this is huge; they can now use this as leverage.  An idol finding celebration ensues, but Denise is not as enthusiastic as she could be.  She knows that it would have been better for her to have found the idol because if they’re split up, she is on her own.

In the darkness…the trees are full of starlight….

FINALLY we are getting a standalone reward challenge!!!  Everyone arrives and Jeff asks Lisa if Matsing is a tribe that has been decimated or is that done and they’re now left with just two individuals fighting to stay alive in the game.  She thinks you can look at it as a tribe that has been decimated or two people that have prevailed.  Thanks for your stunning insight Lisa!

When she isn't screaming curses at various dance show judges or washing her OWN mouth out with soap, PottyMouth is a proud mama to a gorgeous little boy. And yes, she knows everyone says that about their kids, but it's true when she says it. YES IT IS. Fuck you. She also laments throwing away the chance to be a trophy wife, and would like to find a rich husband so she can sit on her ass all day long and watch TV. If you are fabulously wealthy, look like Hugh Jackman (or ARE in fact Hugh Jackman), and are turned on by foul-mouthed, mature, slightly smooshy women, then she just may be the gal for you.

    If that were me, not only would the Probst liplock attempt succeed, I would have slapped his ass on my way out (AND he woulda liked it). Dawson = epic fail.

    I swear Ave had her in had in Dawson’s face at first, because I hadn’t realized they could get so physical in this challenge. But then she threw a hissy fit over the hair. Oy.

    I can’t help it – I love Penner! He was sweet to Dana in a daddy way. If Dawson wasn’t pulling the puzzle pieces out of Penner ‘s hands they might have won.
    I couldn’t believe Pete told Malcolm about their idol after knowing him all of five minutes. What a maroon.

    Uh, no. In answer to your question. Dawson isn’t in Jeff’s driveway. She’ll take ANY rich guy. She just wants a sugar daddy. [Remember how she was naming all the things Jeff Kent needed to buy her for keeping his secret?]

    The girl better get on it quick cause she’s not that pretty and she ain’t getting any younger.

    The only thing that kept going through my mind while watching this episode was – who are these people, where did they come from, why are they on the island. I only know the final two from the dismantled tribe and the former actress and baseball player. It really is like a new season starting next week with all these players that have had no screen time so far.

    I thought Jeff was amazing when that girl decided to go home. There was no point for him to be a dick, he probable had to be reminded of her name since he has only seen her at challenges. Also, she went out with class. She did not make a big deal about it, you could tell she was seriously under the weather.

    Thanks PottyMouth. Another funny, put a smile on my face,recap. :)

    I am also glad that you didn’t die in a plane crash. I would have missed you. You do know that not all pilots are like that guy that landed in the Hudson? I have to take xanax when flying so that when I die I am like “whatever”.

    I had a feeling that those two were going to each go to a tribe to even out the numbers. It was an easy solution to the problem that they caused in the first place by allowing that debacle to happen when they allowed the gals to all sit out of the challenge last week. Producer ploy.

    I would have voted out Dawson before Katie because she was so flipping anoying. I know it isn’t a strategic move necesarily, but it sure would have felt good to cut one of the heads off the two headed monster.

    TC, Robin

    @featherhead,

    I agree with you about Penner. I never thought that I would hear a Survivor contestant tell another to take off her clothes and I knew it truly came from a place of concern.

    It’s worth pointing out that Juggs once again kicked ass in the immunity competition – while wearing a leopard-print thong, no less! There’s no way they’d keep Flabby Maria over her. Juggs is one of the best physical competitors this season. Unfortunately for her, her social game appears to suck. Greatly.

    Also, I’m pretty sure that, being Mormon, Jeff assumes his handshake with Denise (or any other woman) doesn’t really count.

    But Penner was right about telling her to take off her clothes — there’s no way to get warm in wet clothes. And it’s not like there’d be anything unseemly about it anyway. Dana has all the curves of an 11-year-old boy. Hmm. If you put it that way…

    I read an interview with Dana where she said that she was in hospital for 4 days when she returned from the show. This makes me wonder how great the “doctor” was who said that she had a sore “tummy.” I don’t recall “tummy” being a part of the body, medically. She also said that Penner was one of the sweetest and kindest men she knew and that he was very concerned about her.

    AveMaria and Carter could leave tomorrow and they wouldn’t be missed.

    I would love to see a final three of Penner, Malcolm and Denise and wouldn’t care (right now) which of them wins.

    Great recap!!! I agree, this is like a restart on the season . . . I’ll miss Dawson, as I thought she was more interesting than Katie . . . and Mr. D, I like her looks, but I’m gay, so whatta I know!?

    Funny captions Potty!!! Mwah!

    My wish came true with Denise going to the split tribe and aligning with one half–yay!!!!

    Malcolm just lost any tiny sliver of likeability he might have gained by getting hit with the underdog stick. Now that he’s on the winning tribe and in the power alliance, he’s douchier and more grating than ever. If he wants to get that sliver back, he should team up with Wall Street Juggs and take out Str8 Colton and Flabby Brazil Nut. I’m not holding my breath though. This week’s edit hinted at a budding Malcolm/Pete douche-mance, but we don’t know yet how legit or lasting.

    Mister_D – lol. We can share. I’m not very territorial with my Probst. He can snuff both of our torches.

    “Also, I’m pretty sure that, being Mormon, Jeff assumes his handshake with Denise (or any other woman) doesn’t really count. ”

    According to him, it also never counts if you only use four fingers to shake hands, no matter who is on the other end. He has a diabolical handshake and it is his secret weapon! So scary! Pfft.

    I think that he wears out his thumb and index finger on a nightly basis, can only use so many fingers the next day and uses the old “I didn’t use enough fingers to shake hands because I meant to” line.
