It's Night 30 and James visits the doctor to have his finger checked out. The doctor has bad news. As she cleans and wraps it, she tells him it is infected and should it get worse, it could cause permanent damage to the joints in his hand. She wants to have another look at it tomorrow. If it does not im- prove, he will require surgery.
Back at camp, James tells everyone the situation. He acts like it's no big deal. The next morning, Alexis is limping around. During the night, she tripped while going to the latrine and banged up her left knee. Ouch! She needs help getting to the Reward Challenge!
The set-up is each player has a ceramic replica statue perched beneath a heavy weight held by three ropes. It's Questions and Answers, where all the players will be polled secretly. When the questions are asked by Jeff publicly, those giving the answer that matches the majority of the secret ballots gets to cut a line of an opponent's station. The prize is a trip to Jellyfish Lake. Jeff then brings out loved ones for each player. They hug and cry, but the loved ones will not participate in the challenge.
During the first question, everyone got a line cut except Cirie and Alexis. After the second question, everyone had at least one line cut. Cirie finishes off Parvati, who is the first out. Next question, Cirie finishes Erik. Next question decided the rest. Alexis finishes James. James finishes Cirie. Amanda finishes Natalie. It's between Alexis and Amanda and Cirie has her last cut. She takes out Amanda! Alexis wins! She, and her brother will go to Jellyfish Lake. Alexis takes Cirie and her husband, and Natalie and her mom, too. Amanda volunteers to go to Exile Island.
As the rest depart, Jeff tells James to go see the doctor. The doc looks at the hand again. James tells her he is experiencing some pain. Jeff joins them and hears the doctor give the bad news. James hand needs surgery. She's pulling him out of The Game! All are sad as James tells Erik and Parvati the news.
The winners enjoy their swim with the stinger-less jellyfish. Cirie has an epiphany about not being afraid of everything. LOL! On Exile island, we find Amanda finding clues. She has to dive in the lagoon to get the last clue, which tells her where the idol is buried back at Dabu Beach! On Dabu Beach, the winners return that night to learn about James being forced out. The girls gather to discuss their new plan should Erik win immunity.
Day 32 and Alexis is still hurting. Parvati asks Alexis if she wants to be voted off so she can get medical attention? She answers, NO! Natalie suggests that they boot Amanda instead, since she's popular with The Jury. Parvati says that she could never vote Amanda off.
Immunity Challenge time. Amanda rejoins the gang and learns about James. Today's task is to use a high-powered rifle to shoot and break three bottles of each player. First to score their three wins. Round One: Natalie, Parvati and Erik score hits, the rest miss. Round Two: everyone misses except for Erik! Oh-oh! Round Three: Natalie scores her second hit, Amanda gets her first. Parvati and Cirie both miss. Erik is up. He aims carefully and fires. HIT!!! Erik wins immunity!!!
Back at camp, Amanda empties out her bag to prove that she does not have the hidden immunity idol. She then secretly tells Parvati that she did find the clues and knows that it's buried at the campsite. They discuss who to vote off? Parvati suggests Alexis, but Amanda thinks Natalie should go. Alexis and Erik discuss who to vote off? Amanda is seen as the bigger threat. Amanda then talks with Erik, and he tells her that he's voting to boot her off. Amanda is unhappy and Erik talks with Cirie. He and Alexis convince Cirie to boot Amanda off. Amanda talks with Cirie, who also admits that Amanda is the sacrifice for the evening. While the rest eat the last chicken, Amanda digs for the idol.
At Tribal Council, The Jury is brought in after the rest are seated. Last to enter is James, who is walking with an IV attached to his arm. Jeff allows James to tell the rest his condition. He's doing well now. The topic of conversation then turned to why Amanda must be voted off. She is just too darn popular with The Jury! Amanda complains and throws Erik under the bus for not backing her up. Natalie defends the tribe's position, as does Cirie and Alexis. It's time to vote. After getting the ballots, Jeff asks if anyone wants to play the Hidden Immunity Idol. Amanda smiles and produces it! YEAH!!! She tells the gang that she was honest, she didn't find it on Exile Island. The Jury smiles as the rest gasp. Jeff reads the votes. Four in a row for Amanda, none of which count! The last two are for Alexis from Amanda and Parvati. Alexis is booted off. DUMB MOVE!!! She half- crippled already! They should have voted off Natalie. UGH!!!
SPOILERS: Erik becomes very popular as each woman tries to secure an alliance with him. Natalie is mad at Erik and wants to slap him! Ha-ha-ha!
