Jaime (as someone who is not used to doing mean things, then does one is prone to doing) literally cannot stop herself from giggling. She's just trying not to feel bad about what she just did, but her poker face is really, really bad. I still have a feeling that she could take JR, though.
Nonetheless, the males still don't get it, even a little. Aaron and James get Erik alone and get all WTF on him, and Erik agrees to go have a chat and see what's up. Really, you'd think they'd let him in on it, unless they were worried that he somehow wouldn't do it, which is probably the case. Peih-Gee and Jaime let him in on the secret, to which he acts surprised, which wow. They leave him with little choice about getting rid of either James or Aaron as a result, so I guess it worked. Erik doesn't really even appear that worried in confessional. He tells us that he still wants to "go to the end" with Jaime. Yeah, you do!
Peih-Gee gets James alone, thinking that she can somehow make another ally on the side in case something goes wrong. She tells him that if he wants to stay, she can make it happen (even though she probably already has knowledge of Aaron's eminent departure). James just tells her that he doesn't care anymore, which is both hilarious and incredibly childish.
Tribal Council! After Jeff's first question, Jaime basically caves and admits to throwing the challenge. This is a huge mistake, because 1) she didn't have to say anything, especially because they might have to do it again next week, and 2) it sends Jeff and James into fits of righteousness, which it does not do to Aaron, interestingly. Jeff goes right to James, all "Aren't you disgusted with them?" like Peih-Gee and Jaime have operated outside the rules or something, which they very plainly have not. James essentially asks to be sent home, which is dumb. "If you're not going to play the game the way I want, I'm taking my dolly and going home!" What a totally pissy sentiment. Fine, take your shit and get off my show.
Time to vote! We see Aaron vote for James and James vote for "PG". When the votes are counted, it ends up being Aaron who is expelled, leaving James to be all huge and whiny all over the place. Seriously, are there no other options? It's not like you could appeal to Erik's sense of justice and try to force a tie, or make Peih-Gee paranoid about Erik and Jaime's relationship and exploit her desire to win to your own benefit or anything. Just bitch a bunch, it's cool.

I was surprised that the switched tribe members weren't given a one time immunity, which usually happens during a switch of this type. The instructions clearly stated choose the two strongest members from the other tribe. If they weren't given immunity it goes without saying that they would be eliminated. It seems like the show is being set-up to have one of the weaker players win this year.

Not only was the recap late, but it's HIDDEN!! Thanks Isabella for tracking it down.
I was annoyed with the way the girls threw the challenge - don't be so damn obvious about your stragegy! It was a good idea but poorly executed. Everyone knows that The Probst HATES quitters and throwers of challenges.
Oh, and Schoonie:
