Previously, Todd gave James the two Waldos. Oh my god. The two tribes merged to become Hae Da Fung and Jaime was the first boot and the first member of the Jury. Probby was happy because justice had been served for poor wee brawn male specimens that Probby wanted so badly to become. What lengths will Probby get into next as his midlife crisis catches him in its grip? What will Todd and James do to annoy me next? Is anyone ever going to get rid of Jean-Robert? Stay tuned, folks.

Night, day twenty-one. As the Fungi gather around the camp as they get ready to sleep, Jean-Robert and Amanda talk about how nervous they were for a while when Jaime pulled out the fake Waldo. At this point, Jean-Robert clearly has no idea that Waldo really exists. Unlike Amanda, he's just surprised that Jaime tries to "pretend" that there is one. Jean-Robert for some reason sees fit to repeat this conversation to the camera. Back at camp, this fellow is taking up a considerable amount of space on the shelter floor. Erik stands at the sidelines, probably thinking of a way to get Jean-Robert to move so that he can sleep without antagonizing any more of the original Longies. James demonstrates why he has so few friends when he spots Erik and starts taunting Erik whether Erik is scared of Jean-Robert. James then demonstrates his masculinity to shoving aside Jean-Robert to let the "poor boy" sleep. James also mocks Jean-Robert by asking the man whether Jean-Robert wants a hug for once again being given a few stray votes at Tribal Council. Oh James. He's so ridiculously cocky now that he has two Waldos that he has become obnoxious to watch.

James tells the camera that the original Longies need to keep Jean-Robert's "dumb ass" around without of course telling him about the Waldos because really, Jean-Robert is so dumb, unlike James who is so smart because he's been given the two Waldos to play with by someone who is even more of a stupid dumbass than he is.

Day twenty-one, morning. James goes to check on the fish net and in the process bends over to give everyone a nice glimpse of the one sole thing that is nice about him at this point. He gives a pointless confessional that is also at the same time unbelievably hypocritical and delusional about how he is back with the original Longies, including the "stewardess" Todd (nice), and how the original Zhanies had been crushed in their "high-school friend contest". How nice that James believes that only he is allowed to join cliques to crush the other faction. When other people do it, they are terrible people who deserve to be mocked. What is wrong with this man?

As James returns to camp with the catch of the day, Amanda tells the camera that with two Waldos, James could be very hard to beat, especially when he can easily go on to win a zillion Immunity Challenges. Well, maybe she should have thought of this before cheering her best buddy on while that moron was giving James the Waldos.

Oh look, it's now time for the Reward Challenge. Probby waits at the lakeside for the Fungi to creep in before describing this Challenge. The Fungi will be divided into two teams of four. We have nine Fungi, so this means one poor person is going to be left out in this Challenge, heh. In this Challenge, the Fungi will be on a platform will is basically two big square frames floating on the water. One person from each team will get into a boat in one of the square frames. The other three people, armed with buckets of water, will head over to the other team's boat and try to pour in enough water to sink the other team's boat. The person in the boat is responsible for keeping it afloat, either by trying to get away from the three bucket-bearing people or bailing out water from the boat. The first team that sinks the most boats out of three rounds win this Challenge. The winning team will head off to some "ancient village" to enjoy a "Chinese meal". Won't it be nice if they end up getting to eat the same dishes that they ate in the gross food challenge two episodes ago? The winning team will also get a scroll. Hmm, a scroll.

So, Probby now says that he will pick two "captains" by random and these captains will then start off the picking of their three team members. Peih-Gee and Jean-Robert get to be the captains. Peih-Gee begins by picking Frosti while Jean-Robert James. James picks Todd. Frosti picks Erik. Todd then picks Amanda. Erik has to choose between Denise and Courtney. Because Peih-Gee tells him that they need someone light in their boat and that is so true, Erik picks Courtney. We have the bottom dwellers of the tribe on one team, the hubris-laden twits on the other tribe. How considerate of Todd, Amanda, and James to allow Peih-Gee, Erik, Courtney, and Frosti the opportunity to exchange notes and even scheme together. Denise doesn't get to participate, so she's exiled to the sidelines.

First round sees Todd and Courtney taking the boats. Courtney the Challenge Monster lets her boat get too close to Amanda, James, and Jean-Robert who proceed to make short work of her and the boat. That's one point for the big dogs. In the next round, Amanda and Frosti take the boats and Frosti, like Courtney, finds himself moving to the same spot where Courtney got sunk and where he will soon get sunk. This makes the next round pointless so the big dogs have won this one and they are off to eat. How exciting. I suspect that their victory is due to the currents in the lake rather than any dramatic bucket-swinging on their part, but hey, that's how things are on this show most of the time.

As the big dogs walk to this "ancient village", the editors have to blur out Amanda even from the back, so clearly the poor dear has no clue that the folks she is walking past have a nice view of whatever it is that the editors have blurred out, heh. Jean-Robert says to the camera that he is not a fan of "romantic" things (he says "romantic" with accompanying finger quotation mark gestures), as if I can't tell by now, but he thinks this village is pretty nice. Of course. It must be food.

Jean-Robert takes the initiative to open the scroll once everyone has seated at the table and the scroll sure enough contains the last ever clue to Waldo's location. It's pointless to even care by now, but Jean-Robert doesn't know that. He is actually excited that Waldo actually exists while Todd, Amanda, and James pretend really badly to look as surprised as Jean-Robert by the news. Not that the Probby-appointed student of people here notices how badly the others are pretending to be surprised, of course. Well, the food is here and so is the alcohol so Jean-Robert predictably ends up being the most plastered one. He slurs about the "American Immunity Idol" while wondering how they are all going to deal with this "secret" while Todd mocks him because it is so easy to laugh at someone who hopefully won't remember anything when he becomes sober. Amanda tee-hee's to the camera about how the three of them know something that Jean-Robert doesn't. I'd probably share her amusement if I can understand why she is so happy that James has two Waldos. It's not as if he's going to share them with her. Is he?

Back at camp, Denise moans to the camera about how she was not picked for the Challenge, how embarrassing. She is fat, big, and always the last one picked, she complains, apparently missing the fact that she wasn't even picked in the previous Challenge. Maybe that is a blessing in itself. Denise also starts to entertain doubts about her alliance keeping her to the "final seven", as was apparently planned. Please don't tell me this silly woman is content with coming in at seventh place. She also wonders whether she would be sent home before James and Jean-Robert. Yes, she's definitely oblivious as to how chummy Todd and Amanda are now to James now that James have two Waldos in his pockets.

What starts out as a conversation about why Erik and Peih-Gee (along with Jaime) voted out Aaron soon becomes a pow-wow about getting rid of Jean-Robert. The reasons for his boot are, of course, he's not nice to have around and he's also shady, although at this point I don't think Jean-Robert can fool anyone if he tries. I bet these people also want more space on the shelter floor at night, heh. Peih-Gee tells them that this plan is a no-brainer because there are five of them here, which means they have more than enough numbers to send Jean-Robert out. Peih-Gee tells the camera that she doesn't have anything to lose at this point so any plan that allows her to stay is a good plan where she is concerned. Back at camp, she tells Denise and Courtney that if those two help her stay here longer than Jean-Robert, those two ladies have her vote should one of them end up in the Final Two. Denise tells the camera that this is an easy decision for her because "nobody" likes Jean-Robert. To the others, she says that she will go with whichever alliance that she feels will benefit her the most and Erik says that he understands where she is coming from. My, how did all these nice and sensible people end up as underdogs again?

That night, the underdogs are fast asleep when the big dogs finally return from their feast in the "ancient village". Todd, James, and Amanda join the others to sleep but Jean-Robert decides to go hunting for Waldo. I don't think he knows where he is going or what he is doing as he pulls off the head of what seems like the tree-mail thing - oops - before deciding to pull down all the fake Waldos that are at the archway. I wonder what he is thinking, since he'd seen Jaime pull this stunt and it didn't work in the previous Tribal Council. He tells the camera that Waldo is his key to a million dollars and he wants Waldo very badly as a result, and now that he has the ornaments hidden away in the bushes, he thinks that he now has a "trump card" that nobody else knows about. Or so he thinks. Oh dear, and to think he was so amused with Jaime in the previous Tribal Council.

Day twenty-four, morning. Some minor drama is started that morning when the other Fungi start pointing out to James that he is eating most of their food. James says simply that he is hungry (as if the other Fungi aren't) and at least, unlike Jean-Robert, he eats as much as he works. So what have we learned today, class? James can be pretty lousy at placating people because Jean-Robert pipes up, annoyed, that he did the fishing while James was kidnapped to Zhan Hu and during that time, Jean-Robert certainly didn't eat more than his share. I think the friendship between these two is off. The Waldos have come between them, how sad.

Todd now complains to the camera that the other Fungi are driving him crazy. He also complains that James has two Waldos now. Gee, I wonder how James found those two Waldos. Apparently Todd is expecting all this while for James to hand him one Waldo, so now that James would rather be a ham and keep the two Waldos to himself, Todd is not happy. I wonder whether Todd is related to the moron Rafe from Guatemala. The funniest thing about Todd's stupidity is that he gave away the two Waldos without getting anything return from James. Todd concludes that he would love to see more craziness around the camp. The last is so obviously something that he says for the sake of coming off as cool and cunning on camera. Poor Todd - desperation to be seen as cool reeks from his every pore that I can small it even through the TV screen.

Todd now complains to his best friend Amanda about James having two Waldos. He points out that James is now guaranteed to be in the Final Four at least. I wonder how James ends up in this comfortable position. Despite what Todd is trying to tell her, Amanda says that she wants Peih-Gee gone before James. Todd admirably manages to stop himself from screaming as he points out to that stupid, stupid woman that if they don't take out James now, they never will. Should James fail to win the Angry Monkey in the next Immunity Challenge, Todd wants James blindsided when he hasn't brought the Waldos with him. Amanda tells the camera that the plan is supposed to be booting Peih-Gee first, then Erik, and then Frosti. Now Todd wants James gone. Poor Amanda is not happy! She really doesn't get it.

Todd now approaches Frosti and shares the plan to blindside James with him. Apparently Todd won't tell Peih-Gee the plan because Peih-Gee will tell James of the plan. She will? Todd is fast catching up with Jean-Robert in the art of reading people, I tell you. Frosti, still adorable and now obviously completely clueless, tells the camera that he's so happy that he's a "swing vote" because being a swing vote is the best thing you can ever be on this show. I give up on these people. Peih-Gee is the only one left who seems to be thinking straight.

Speaking of which, here is the Immunity Challenge. Probby smirks as he watches the Fungi wade in knee-deep swampy ground to reach him. He's standing dry and clean on a platform, of course. For all I know, he could have made some local shirtless young men carry him on a palanquin to this platform like the smug and unjustifiably bitchy ass that he is. At any rate, this Challenge is simple. There are barrel-like things on the water, one for each Fungus, and all they have to do is to straddle the barrel the way one would sit on a horse and remain on it the longest. It sounds simple, but it's not really, since each barrel is filled with water and there is a hole in the barrel that allows water to leak out as time passes. This means it will be harder to balance oneself on the barrel as it becomes lighter and more susceptible to the winds or anything else that can affect one's balance on the barrel. These barrels are part of the body of a Chinese dragon, by the way. A dragon with incontinence problem, how cute.

Probby gives the word and now it's a matter of waiting and seeing who lasts the longest. It's pretty impressive how fast water leaks out from the barrels. At any rate, Jean-Robert does a lot of heckling and sparring with Probby, it's like watching two brick walls trying to outsmart each other. Jean-Robert excites himself so much that he is the first to fall off his barrel. Impressive, I must say. Denise is the next to fall off, then James, then Erik, and then Peih-Gee. Amanda gets disqualified for touching some "no no" part of barrel with her hands. So it's down to three lightest Fungi - Frosti, Todd, and Courtney. I bet you don't see that one coming. Ultimately, Courtney snags the Angry Monkey and Probby puts it around her neck, making her look like... I don't know, a stretched strand of well-chewed gum wearing a very ugly toilet seat. Courtney doesn't need the Angry Monkey but hey, good for her for winning a Challenge that is designed for someone like her to win.

Back at camp, Courtney gets plenty of insincere congratulations. Naturally, she feels good. She tells them that her motivation for winning is to not get dunked in the swamp. Meanwhile, Peih-Gee tells the camera that she is not happy that she didn't win the Angry Monkey because she knows that her neck is on the line. All she can hope for now is for her soldiers Denise, Frosti, Erik, and Courtney to be good little children and vote out Jean-Robert. At this point, my husband wonders aloud why these people are not voting out Todd or James since these two seem to be more obvious threats that the buffoon Jean-Robert. I have no idea why myself, but anything that gets rid of Jean-Robert from my TV screen is a good plan where I am concerned. So, yes, go, Team Peih-Gee!

Jean-Robert now tries to pull the same stunt that he mocked Jaime for trying in the previous Tribal Council, by pretending to Erik that he has Waldo. Erik manages to stop himself from laughing at Jean-Robert's face and ends up being kind and telling Jean-Robert about how he and Jaime saw James with two Waldos among his possessions. Jean-Robert looks shocked but collects himself enough to congratulate himself on being... uh, right. He says that he is too late but oh, well, such is the burden that geniuses of the game have to bear. He tells Erik that between the two of them, they will come up with something to take James down. Erik, of course, is all for it.

Now Jean-Robert follows James out to catch some fish where Jean-Robert tries to bluff James into confessing that James has two Waldos but James meets his every bluff with feigned ignorance. Jean-Robert is quite hilarious here as he plays the megalomaniac to James' obvious feigned cluelessness. All but calling out James on his lies, Jean-Robert says that James has to choose between working with Jean-Robert or getting roasted by the master. James tells the camera pretty much that Jean-Robert can go hang himself because James will never trust Jean-Robert. The two men, each knowing that the other is full of it, keep talking and talking, both so smug at how smart they think they are at pulling a fast one over the other. It's as fun following them as it is listening to Probby praising himself before a mirror. Meanwhile, Jean-Robert tells the camera that James is now "fair game", as if he had magnanimously tried to give James a reprieve from the master of the game but now that James has rejected his kind offer, he has no other choice but to destroy James completely.

So what Jean-Robert does is to tell Todd in private that James has two Waldos. He tells Todd that they should blindside James this Tribal Council because James will never think of using the Waldos beforehand. This is Todd's idea, of course, so Todd tells the camera that he is "bothered" by the fact that Jean-Robert comes up with the same idea as his. And here is where I can only hope that funny editing is at work because Todd surely can't be so stupid as to give up his plan to blindside James because Jean-Robert also has the same idea... right? At any rate, Todd tells James that everyone else (but him and Amanda, of course, because Todd is still playing this game for Amanda, bless his incredibly stupid soul) is gunning for James but of course Todd is here to save the day with the plan to boot... Jean-Robert! James tells Todd not to tell Denise about the plan. I don't know why. I can't read people as well as these two and Jean-Robert.

Of course, we all know that Team Peih-Gee want to boot Jean-Robert anyway so what Todd is proposing to each of them is not something they will have a hard time agreeing to. Only Amanda is unhappy because she is still clinging to her dream of a camp comprising all her friends having a good time with each other. She points out that Todd changes his mind every time. Is that a problem? Todd has stopped playing for himself ever since he caught a glimpse of his face in the lake and decided that he would be the best strategic genius ever on this show. He's now playing for Amanda and James to win. Meanwhile, Courtney pretends indifference when Todd approaches her with the plan, telling the camera that she doesn't want them to think that they are doing her a favor by booting Jean-Robert. Smart gal. She's going to be so happy when they finally get rid of the "Susan Lucci of Tribal Council", though. Oh, she's funny. And finally, as these morons get ready to head over to Tribal Council, James wonders whether he should bring his two Waldos because he's hoping he doesn't have to use them. Oh yes, he's a smart one, that fellow.

Night, Tribal Council. Jaime walks in and exchanges a "Hiya!" kind of look with Erik. Talks about Peih-Gee and Erik being outnumbered, Jean-Robert being a silly fool, and Courtney making some kind of statement by winning the Angry Monkey ensue, culminating with James laughing in a horridly condescending manner when Erik reasonably points out at some point the original Longies are going to need allies when they realize that they can't all win the game together. James really doesn't have a clue about this game. Terry, meet James. James and Terry, meet an oncoming train. Courtney is keeping the Angry Monkey, so Probby sends them all to vote.

It turns out that Denise votes for Peih-Gee while Jean-Robert, Erik, and Peih-Gee vote for James. I've checked the Insider clips but I can't figure out why Erik and Peih-Gee vote for James. The others however vote for Jean-Robert and it's enough to send him packing. Todd looks gleeful because he is determined to alienate one more Jury member so that James or Amanda will win. Probby announces that the "tribal lines" are gone with this vote, thus demonstrating that he is as good as Todd and James in understanding the game. And with that, he dismisses the Fungi.

Jean-Robert claims that he's the best player which is why he gets the boot. How predictable, how sad, how predictably sad of him.

Oh, and Todd has officially lost the game. Jean-Robert is the best goat he can take to the final two or three with him and he has given the fellow the boot, apparently just because Jean-Robert dares to come to the same idea as Todd about James. Between giving James the two Waldos and engineering the boot of his best goat, has this fellow done anything right?
