Well, Jeff has a challenge to get to, so we’re not going to waste any more time here. He tells Denise and Malcolm to drop their buffs; they’ll be joining one of the other tribes. Personally, I’d have rather seen them try to stand strong on their own; if anyone could have come from behind I think these two together could have made a go of it.
But Jeff doesn’t give a crap about what I think, so they pick wrapped buffs to find out who goes where. Malcolm draws Tandang, Denise gets Kalabaw. We’ll find out how they feel about it later because it’s time to get to the reward challenge.
For this challenge the tribes will compete one at a time while holding an idol on a pedestal. The goal is to knock their opponent’s idol off their pedestal before that person can do the same. The wording to remember here is that the idol that hits the ground first is the one that loses the point. First tribe to score five points wins.
The yearly “I thought I wanted coffee until I ended up with diarrhea in the woods” reward!
Now that the tribes are even, no one has to sit out. So let’s get this show on the road. First up are Jeff Kent and Malcolm. It’s a good match up and it looks like Malcolm will win the point as he goes in for a hit to Jeff’s idol. Except that Jeff tosses his idol up in the air and then smacks Malcolm’s down to the ground.
Boosh!
So Kalabaw scores the first point. Tandang quickly makes up that ground as Artis faces off against Dana. Next up are Katie for Kalabaw and Lisa for Tandang, and Katie wins the point for her tribe. Skupin vs. Penner plays out with a point to Tandang and the tribes are tied once again. Now it’s Denise’s turn and she scores a point against Juggs, followed once more by Tandang tying it up when Pete wins out against Carter.
Ave is up for Tandang now and she’s facing off against Dawson. Ave wins the point but is hella mad that Dawson pulled her hair.
Don’t play like a bitch, bitch!
Dawson says she didn’t do it on purpose, but Ave is crazy so she probably thinks it’s a huge conspiracy engineered by Juggs.
So now Tandang leads four to three. Malcolm and Jeff are back up to bat and this time Malcolm uses Jeff’s strategy against him winning the final point for Tandang.
Yay! We’ll all be pooping for days!
Penner handles the loss well saying of course he would have preferred to have Malcolm over Denise (DUUUH, guys rule, girls drool!). They totally would have had the coffee and cookies (COOKIES!!! Poor Angie missed out on the cookie reward) if they had a guy instead of a girl. For sure.
If you like it, spread it!:

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 would like to slap his ass too. Get in line Pink Top.
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.

@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.
TC, Robin
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.
