She asks who wants to vote for Myammee, but we're treated to shots of Saaphyri outside the vault, then shots of the walls, etc. Don't screw with us, I Love Money! This is not the time nor place for a cliffhanger! Angelique runs through the list of nominees, but we don't get to see any of the votes. Then Saaphyri is brought into the vault, and for once, the results will be as much of a surprise to us as they are to her.
The first check in the strongbox is It, natch. When it comes to the second check, we pan to Myammee quietly weeping, so it seems sort of obvious that her name will be up soon. Alas, Ice has the second check. Then the third check is...Prancer's! Myammee's safe! Saaphyri screeches in commentary about how someone did something janky during the voting, which needed to be mentioned because I love the word janky.
We cut to clips of the voting process. When Ice's name came up, she received votes from Angelique, Tailor Made, It and Myammee. During Prancer's turn, she got votes from Angelique, It, Ice, and Myammee. Myammee's only votes came from Angelique, It and Prancer, so she rightfully earned her safety. Regardless of how things played out, Saaphyri is totally pissed. She interviews about how Tailor Made always wants to be "Captain Save-a-ho," but really, who doesn't?
After the ceremony, Myammee leaves to talk with Ice. She's worried Ice will hate her, but to Ice's credit, she's just like, "Meh, it happens." Ice must be the chillest friend ever. You're like, "I wrecked your car," and Ice is like, "Meh, I've wrecked them harder." Myammee weeps all over Ice's shoulder, but Ice is confident. Saaphyri doesn't have any reason to get rid of her, but Saaphyri doesn't have any reason for doing most things, yet she trods onward nonetheless!
Elsewhere in the house, a tearful Prancer limps in to talk with Saaphyri. Saaphyri's holding court with It and Angelique, but she deigns to make time for Prancer anyway. Prancer sobs over the unfairness of being in the box, and Saaphyri recognizes that she's Prancer's last hope. Of course that doesn't mean shit - just because she recognizes does not mean she cares. Prancer says Myammee was disrespectful to Saaphyri, and then she sums it up by saying, "I just think she's, like...super foul right now." This doesn't even garner a snort from Saaphyri, which could mean she's taking her seriously or that she fell asleep during the conversation.
Time for the Power Outing! Saaphyri and the nominees are escorted to a beach club, where a gentleman ethnically tells them what they'll be doing. This is met with general confusion, so they settle on sitting by the pool and getting wasteyfaced instead. Saaphyri gives It the very important job of fanning her down, so while he works, he asks Ice what she can do for Saaphyri.
Ice explains that everyone in her alliance voted against her, so right now she's flying solo. Prancer echoes these sentiments and says that's why she deserves to stay. She'll help to get Myammee out, and while Ice might do the same thing, Ice will probably work against Saaphyri. Prancer says Ice is stronger than her at this point, so Ice counters, "You have no bruises on your leg." This is true enough, but Prancer replies that she has a contusion. Then she asks if Ice knows what that word means. Ice probably does, but Saaphyri clearly does not because she makes all kinds of faces. Mayhaps she thinks Prancer said "contortion."
When that gets boring, Saaphyri asks who voted for Myammee. Prancer replies with the names quickly, since it totally benefits her, and it becomes glaringly obvious that Ice didn't vote for Myammee. Her explanation for this is like, "Oh, well, Myammee's my girl." Yes, seems like you're best buds! Ice claims that if Myammee were in the box, then Myammee definitely would've been sent home. Apparently that idea is offensive to her. Saaphyri points out that Ice is willing to give up her check so Myammee can have a better chance, and Ice doesn't really have much to say back to that other than "Bwah?".
Everyone settles down for lunch, during which Ice says she doesn't feel like her alliance has her back. Somehow the group refrains from being like, "No shit!" Instead they're distracted by fish leaping from the ocean. Saaphyri is excited to see dolphins, but Prancer corrects her and says they're manta rays. I genuinely did not know this was an animal; I really thought she was combining "manatee" and "stingray," and it made me ridiculously happy. We're going to pretend that's what went on!

I've been wondering about Ice, because on one of the extra scenes on VH1's site they show her looking for her hormones.
So is she post-op as well? Or is there still a package there? It almost makes me want to watch her season of Flavor of Love ...except...ick.

Or maybe it's a joke?
During the elimination Safari said the reason that she was eliminating Ice was that she'd planned to send a guy home.
But I don't find any mention of this elsewhere.
So what's the deal?

itchy,
I didn't see that vh1 clip of Ice looking for hormones but Ice talks like a dude, acts like a dude, and more manly than all the guys that have been on the show. In fact I really would like to know if Ice was dude or not! Can someone find that out?

Ice also has that deep manly voice but she does not have that man face (like Katelynn from this last season of RW). Never saw an Adams apple but I didn't think to look for one.

I found it kind of weird that while Safeeerri was telling Ice that she was being eliminated because she was a guy, Ice just kind of stood there smiling.
Although she/he kind of just stood there smiling all season, so I guess that doesn't say much either.
The clip of her looking for the hormones was for one of the earlier episodes, don't remember which.
Nobody knows the answer to this riddle?

I thinks it's kind of a joke between Ice and everybody like Ice reminds all of them of a dude cause I remember when they were split up into 2 teams this season and I think it was Buckwild that said they need the strongest dude on their team and she called Ice.
Switching topics from he-she Ice, I honestly think It is playing everybody and going to win this season!!!

Bailey, just wanted to say, I don't know how you wade through the stupid every week like this, but I love you for it!
love, J-Mo :)

Oh man, I love this Ice gossip! I never really got a man vibe from her (unlike Milf, who I seriously thought was a dude), but sadly I am legit going to research this. Hopefully that research will not include messaging her on Facebook like, "IS YOU A MAN?" Anyway, I'll keep y'all updated if I find anything!
J-Mo: I LOVE YOU.
