Day 28 and Erik tells Jason and the Gal Pals how he understood why they kept him in the dark about booting Ozzie the night before. Meanwhile, James and Amanda are off in the jungle discussing how they got betrayed. Amanda is ready to kick some butt!
During breakfast, Cirie voices concern to James about a nasty cut on one of his fingers. It looks to her like it is getting infected. Later, he and Parvati have a talk. He wants to know what her plan is. She tells him flat out that she's taking the gals to the Finals. He is pissed! More so at himself than at her. She tries to soften the blow by telling him she really did like talking with him. *Cough* BULL$%!# *Cough*! Amanda then talks with her, also wanting to know what is next? Parvati tells Amanda she wants an all-ladies Final Five. Cirie joins them and assures Amanda that they will be the Final Three. Amanda isn't buying it.
It's time for the infamous Survivor Auction. Each gets $500 and no sharing of food or money is allowed. The first mystery item goes to Cirie for $120. It turns out to be hot dogs and French fries. The next mystery item is won by Erik for $80. Jeff offers a switch, which Erik takes. Good thing, too, as the original item was a jar of octopus. The new item Erik won was a plate of Nachos. Yum! Natalie wins the next mystery item for $240, but when she learns that it's a bowl of bat soup, she passes on it. James takes the bowl and has a free meal. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with milk, is the next item. Amanda wins it for $280!!! Geez! Natalie wins another mystery item for $240. It turns out to be a bottle with a message. She gets to send one person to Exile Island and gets that person's money! She asks Jeff if there's a new immunity idol hidden, and he confirms that there is. Natalie selects Jason to go, despite his pleas. Natalie, still desperate to win some- thing, bids $380 on the next mystery item. It's a big chocolate cake! There's another note, allowing her to share it with three people, but they all get only one minute to eat it. LOL! She selects Parvati, Cirie and Alexis to join her. After they stuff their faces, Erik offers Cirie $40 to lick her fingers. OMG!!!
With Jason on Exile Island, the gals consider the possibility that he will find the next idol. He does search for it and indeed finds the idol! Jason thinks Natalie sent him there specifically to find the idol and that she and he are tight allies. Back at camp, the ladies scheme to blindside Jason. Natalie will set him up, asking him to let her win the next Immunity Challenge and then they'll boot James off.
Day 30 and tree mail arrives. James and Erik read of the upcoming IC. Erik hopes to win it, because today is his birthday, and he'd hate to be booted on it. Natalie is confident in her scheme, but even if it should fail, James will go because the Gals will split their votes.
The Immunity Challenge is a multi-round one. All eight will compete to throw rocks at their tile targets. Breaking the tiles releases a bundle of locked puz- zle pieces. The first four will move on to Round Two, unlock the pieces, assemble the puzzle wheel, and use it to lower a pair of wood planks. The first two will move on to the Final Round, using the planks to cross a rope bridge. Jason, James, Erik and Amanda win Round One. Only James and Erik move on to the Finals. Those benched cheer on Erik, as James falls in the water, putting him behind. Erik wins! Happy Birthday!!!
Back at camp, everyone congratulates Erik. The gals are very happy that Jason did not win. The "Black Widow Brigade" now see their chance to take full control and boot off the men, starting with Jason. Speaking of him, he goes off to hunt for crabs. The dummy! NEVER LEAVE YOUR ALLIES BEFORE A VOTE!!! They search his belongings and find the Hidden Immu- nity Idol. Natalie follows him after a bit and he confides that he does have the new idol. She tells him they plan to boot James. Jason still thinks that he and Natalie are tight. Natalie is very proud of her ruthlessness! James and Amanda discuss what to do. He wants her to vote for Parvati, as he will, just in case Jason does play the idol.
At Tribal Council, they begin telling Jeff how they did not need Ozzie around anymore as a provider. James knows that he's a target now. Erik is REALLY happy he has the immunity necklace. LOL! Jason tells Jeff he feels more comfortable and social with the tribe. It's time to vote. The ballots are cast and Jason does not play the idol. James voted for Parvati. Jason, Natalie and Alexis voted for James. Erik, Amanda, Cirie and Parvati give Jason the boot. Well done! Eliza and Ozzie laugh.
SPOILERS: James has his finger looked at by the medics. Another idol is hidden on Exile Island. It's the family reunion show!
