Stephen pipes in to say that he considers himself a very grounded person, but when he wants something, fame doesn't suck. He's not opposed to throwing Alec's name around to get into a good restaurant, or onto a reality show, or to the head of the line at Pat Robertson's book signings.
Janice is torn. In her most mature comment all season, she says she's grateful for fame because it's allowed her to pay for her children's education and afforded her the opportunity to throw cocaine in Charlie Sheen's face, but the lack of privacy can be trying. The paparazzi follows her around and TMZ will go through her trash. I can understand how that's frustrating, especially when Dickenstein proactively makes an effort to pee in front of several cameras in the center of a NBC set. What could be more embarrassing in her trash?
Patti's public eye is different, in politics you develop enemies. And since the Justice Department isn't a friend of Roddy's, they've made enemies unlike those found in Hollywood. I can see that, but I think I'd rather have a government agent after me than Dickenstein.
She totally could have told the other celebrities that he ate the granola bar!
It's time for another luxury trial, this time the winning participants will receive massages. Each team picks two representatives--the boys send LaBamba and Salley, the girls send Patti and Torrie. That massage must be orgasmic for people sleeping on egg crates and wicker for two weeks, but I'm shocked that these guys are so willing to strip down to nothing but a towel for a rub down in the middle of the jungle. I don't care the temperature, I would rather wear a full suit of armor wherever I go, than have my back look like a test case for the first small pox vaccine.
The luxury trial is "Walk the Plank," Torrie and Lou have to...um... is there a technical term for this? Twist this thing... with a big piece of bamboo, which in turn will shorten the plank supporting their opponent. Torrie has a better technique than LDP and Patti has smaller feet and a lower center of gravity than big, lanky, ski-footed John, so the boys lose.
LaBamba and Salley return to camp with the news of their defeat. And they tell Janice that Torrie did really well, "she's a machine." Janice counters with "she's a beast." In fact Torrie is very athletic she was Miss Galaxy 1998 and a Playboy Playmate, although I still think Janice is more intimidating.
A new task is given to the camp, if they complete a scavenger hunt in under 5 minutes, they'll receive a treat. They're able to finish it in no time, because everything in camp has somehow found its way into Dickenstein's bag. Classy.
John Salley is still considering leaving the game, but the camp convinces him to stay. They value his presence--so if the people want him to stay, he'll stay. Although Stephen thinks he's already psyched himself out. And once he's taken himself out of the game he really doesn't stand a chance against these master strategists...
Sanjaya is trying to spice up the menu and is preparing some potato/turnip chips. He's not moving fast enough for Janice's liking so she starts up her sass and Sanjungle finally has a snarky moment and tell her that he's trying to prepare the food properly. She'll just have to wait. In the end, Janice is impressed with 'Jaya of the Jungle's culinary skills and deems him "the lord of the fry." Janice, you're lucky that he's taken the title "Lord of the Fry" and not "Lord of the Flies" and hasn't crushed your ass with a boulder. Back off him, beast.
Because the state of Georgia doesn't have the range on their electronic monitoring system, NBC couldn't book Bobby Brown for this show. Instead we get Janice staggering out of camp in a Bobby-esque manner. Turns out she's constipated, which she's very open about. She hasn't taken a poop in seven days. If only there was someone around with experience digging doodie bubbles out of butts. Hmm...

You have my sympathies for having to watch this.
Any NBA fan would have known John Sully, but even more would have known him from "the Best Damn Sports Show", where he was a regular for years. Tht is probably a pretty big audience. Bigger than the audience for "superficially related to someone famous" or "used to be someone whose name you might recognize".

Medusa:
I bet you're glad that this torture is over. They couldn't possibly make a season 2 could they?
Good luck on your next project, look forward to your recaps.

"An unsanitary, objectionable, manipulative urinator." An instant classic.
