Day 34 brings another wet morning.  Everyone is tired and miserable.
They are all getting on each other's nerves.  Rupert complains about
many things.  Rob complains about Tom.  He can barely understand
him and wonders if Tom is babbling from dehydration.  LOL!  Rob
then overhears Jenna and Rupert talking about booting him.  He tells
Amber that they may have to rethink their strategy.  Amber is worried.

Reward Challenge is the Super-Challenge.  A combination of past
challenges, challenging each player to win.  The prize is a GM truck
called a Colorado.  They should have named it the Challenge.  Oh
well.  There are three round, each to eliminate one player.  The final
two then play for the truck, plus a night at the drive-in, Survivor-style!
As they begin, Jeff reminds them that none of the past vehicle win-
ners ever won the grand prize.  Rupert loses in the first round, fol-
lowed by Jenna, then Tom.  It's between Rob and Amber, and Rob
wins.  Naturally, he chooses Amber to join him at the drive-inn.  They
drive off, with Jeff, leaving the rest in their dust.

The movie to be shown is "The Lord of the Flies".  It's been a long
time since I've seen it, but it looked like the original black'n'white,
British version.  They also get popcorn, beverage, and hot dogs.  Jeff
shows them one other gift.  A new Chevy Malibu Max!  Amber just
loves her new car.  Another GM moment.  If they were smart, they'd
sign her up to do commercials.  Hmmmm.  Anyway, Amber rambers
on about how great a date she has with Rob.  Most guys just give her
flowers, he gives her a new car.  Errrr, I think the sponsors, GM, gave
her a car.  Rob is happy.  He's winning again and is alone with his gal.

The return from camp is amusing.  Amber tells them about her getting
a car.  This brings lots of glares of envy.  It doesn't help when they
split up the candy they brought back fives ways, with Romber saving
theirs for later.  Their bellies were already full.  Day 35 and the morn-
ing is an eventful one.  Rupert and Tom are gathering wood.  They
groan about how Romber are lazy, saving their strength for the chal-
lenges.  The two men talk about booting Rob.  Rob trusts neither, and
hatches a scheme to create conflict.  Rupert and Tom fall into Rob's
trap.  They have a loud argument about who wants to vote off Rob.
The Robfather watches with glee as they distract themselves from the
real threats. 

Day 36 and it's time for the Immunity Challenge.  It's a word scramble
using the names of all 17 previous tribes to spell out a secret word.
First to get them all wins.  Jenna, Amber, and Rob jump off to a quick
lead over Rupert and Tom.  Then, Amber and Rob build a lead.  With
all 17 names circled in a word-search style puzzle, Amber is first to
start unscrambling the secret word.  But Rob correctly guesses what
the word is right away and wins immunity.

Back at camp, Rob worries that Amber may become the target if the
others decide to dethrone them.  Amber is very worried from all the
suspicions and paranoia.  The King and Queen of the prom are then
courted by Tom.  He cozies up with Romber and plots to boot off his
worst pain in the neck, Jenna.  Romber mull over the decision, then
invite Tom back for a second hearing.  Rob interrogates Tom fiercely,
but Tom hangs in there and assures them of his loyalty. They agree
to target Jenna.

A Tribal Council, things get ugly.  Very ugly!  Rupert confesses that
things are not going well at camp.  Amber confesses to being very
worried about her position.  When she says that she can smell the
money, this causes a major eye-rolling contest among the jurors.  If
betrayed, Tom says he'll get even.  It's time to vote.

We don't see any of the voting, but we do hear Rob's comments. 
"The pony ride is over.  Your welcome for carrying me this far."  Jeff
counts off the votes.  Tom voted for Jenna, the rest boot Tom.  After
Jeff snuffs out his flame, Tom turns back and leers at Rob.  The jury
leers at Rob and Amber.

SPOILERS:  No details, other than it's down to the Final Four, a two-
hour finale, plus one-hour reunion show.  The Finale has a BIG SUR-
PRISE.  CBS and The Evil One guarantee it!
