Previously, it was to be expected that there would be at least one unbearably bossy and annoying idiot in a tribe. Zhan Hu had no shortage of bossy twits such as Ashley, Peih-Gee, and Dave, but Dave and Ashley rubbed each other off the wrong way so much and so often that one of them had to go if the other tribe members had any say in the matter. Well, they landed right smack in Tribal Council sure enough. The other Zhanies decided that uselessness is far more undesirable than asshole-ness so Ashley was sent away despite Dave carrying out a regime that was as tyrannical as one could imagine.

Night, day six. In a scene that can't be too amusing for all parties involved, Jean-Robert is asleep in a pile with Leslie, Amanda, and Courtney. He is snoring loudly, causing the women to be unhappy enough, but when he starts pushing his leg between Leslie's, that's when she and Amanda sit up as Leslie goes, "Eeuw! Please stop!" She says that it is "funny" to be snuggling up to a man in her bra. To the camera, she says that Jean-Robert is a big man and takes up all the space, but I suspect she doesn't mind that as much as she minds the part where Jean-Robert has a tendency for "cuddling with all the women and it's just like, eeuw, please don't", as she puts it. "I don't know what it is about him, but maybe it's the silk shirt and no underwear that did it for me," she says with a forced laugh.

Courtney makes a sound of exasperation when he now turns towards her for some exchange of body heat, as he puts it. She tells the camera that he creeps her out. She points out that she and Amanda often go out of their way to avoid him but he will always come up to them anyway, supposedly for him to keep warm. Cut to a scene of Jean-Robert rubbing his hand along Amanda's foot. She doesn't look too happy in that scene, which is unfortunate as this segment is not making Jean-Robert look good in any way. Courtney points out that she weighs "seven pounds", heh, and she can't even keep herself warm. In other words: drop dead, Jean-Robert.

Back to the shelter, Jean-Robert tells the three women that they can call him creepy all they want, but he "needs" to be warm. Now that is really going to endear him to people, I must say. In a confessional reeking of a sad kind of irony once you think of it when the episode ends, Leslie tells the camera that "clearly" Jean-Robert will go should Fei Long end up in Tribal Council because Jean-Robert has a terrible social game. She forgets to add, "That's what I think anyway, and as it turns out, what I think doesn't amount to much in the end!"

Day seven, Fei Long. Jean-Robert bathes in the lake, representing all those women he had pawed the night before. Amanda and James check out the trap that I believe James has set up on his own, judging from the conversation that will take place a few minutes later. They discover only one crab in it. Breakfast, therefore, is only one crab for eight people in the tribe, and it's a rather small crab as well. James suggests that maybe they can make a stew out of the crab so that everyone can get to eat. As James cut the crab and Leslie gets the water needed to make the stew, Courtney who must have appointed herself the maitre d' of the tribe tells the others that they will be getting crab stew and she hopes that they "don't mind". Well, if they mind, they can bloody well get their own breakfast, if you ask me.

Aaron points out that the crab is "big". I suppose with his penis being the size it is, everything else is "big". Don't worry, Aaron, it still looks pretty all wrapped up in those tight shorts. Back to the "big" crab, Aaron wants to have rice with the crab. Courtney correctly points out that there is no way they can somehow divide the crab among eight people. Jean-Robert now chimes in that the crab stew won't have more flavor if they have to add enough water to feed eight people. Courtney bluntly tells them that if they feel that the crab is too small to share, James can eat it all by himself then since he's the one who caught the crab.

Aaron looks taken aback by such logic. I suspect that he and logic aren't close. He says lamely, "It doesn't work that way!" Oh please, if he was the one who catches the crab, I bet he will be right now saying that it does work that way. It is too bad that he has to open his mouth and ruin what would have been an otherwise nice eye-candy scene of him standing right there with his jeans hanging low over those magic blue shorts.

Leslie tells the camera that the "boys" are "cranky", a situation that she feels is due to hunger as her own husband gets cranky when he's hungry. She's funny. She's the first person cast on this show as That Religious Person that I am actually taking a liking to. This is a first. She smiles as she says that she always makes sure that her husband is well-fed. Alas, here, she feels that she is dealing with "her husband times infinity". See what I mean? She can crack a joke. She's alright.

Back to the camp, Aaron announces that he wants the whole crab. Yeah? Then he can go get one of his own. James points out that they have only one crab and Aaron is like, yeah, he knows. I think Aaron is trying to act like he's being playful when he says that he wants the whole crab for himself, but I believe that he actually, really, really wants the whole crab. However, no one messes with James. I really have a good laugh when James sasses Aaron so easily for a supposed socially-awkward fellow that he is into being flustered as James points out that there is no way Aaron gets to eat the whole crab, especially when Aaron isn't the person who caught the crab in the first place. This is one scene that, if I were in that tribe, would have me on my feet and clapping my hands loudly for James. Indeed, the other Longies are exchanging bemused looks as they wait for the fireworks to start. Instead, Aaron in a wuss-like manner concludes that James caught the crab so they will all cook the crab the way James wants it to be cooked. So in the end, crab stew it is. James gives him a glare and says loudly with a shake of his head, "Damn!" Aaron bares his teeth to James in what he must think is a "playful" response. Don't mess with James, silly boy. He buries people. Got that?

James tells the camera that despite whatever learning curve one may face in the wilderness, he is dismayed that his tribe mates are all words and no action. In fact, he thinks that too many of them "keep bumping their hands". He doesn't understand how these people are so unprepared to live in the wilderness. On his part, he points out that he went to Barnes and Noble to look up survival books. He reads? I'm in love now. Sorry, Yul and Earl, but James is my TV boyfriend now. As Aaron strips down to his shorts and lingers around James who is making the stew in a scene worthy of the sequel to Spartacus, James adds to the camera that back home he doesn't eat out much but compared to his tribe mates, he feels like Crocodile Dundee out here. Yes, James and I are definitely getting married. Someone call the caterers!

Over at Zhan Hu, Dave still thinks he's Emperor Nero or something as he continues to exercise his regime of terror over the other Zhanies. Perhaps he has gone crazy, as some people tend to do when they find themselves in the wilderness all hungry and thirsty and seeing mirages everything. Dave starts the morning by cleaning the boat. That's good as a little hygiene goes a long way. He then brings some stones back to camp, no doubt to add them to his barbecue pit/shrine to his greatness. The thing is, as he works, he makes all these exaggerated sounds in order to make sure that the other Zhanies are aware that he wants them to know that he is working very hard. Peih-Gee shakes her head at his most obvious "Hu-uuu-uh!"

Peih-Gee suggests that he take a break, reminding him that he had no energy in the previous Immunity Challenge, but Dave won't be who he is if he would listen to her. Peih-Gee tells the camera that Dave still doesn't get the fact that he needed to rest if he was going to take part in Challenges. Therefore, she doesn't get him. Back at camp, Dave and Peih-Gee begin going at it. The others must be thinking that it was as if Ashley has never left, heh. It begins when Peih-Gee offers to take over from Dave in slicing up some nuts and Dave just has to respond by saying that he's the only expert in the tribe that he can trust. Peih-Gee says sarcastically that she hopes Dave manages to save some energy for some upcoming Challenges. Dave answers with a rude kissy-kissy sound and it goes downhill from there.

Dave, oblivious to the fact that he has completely no allies left in his tribe, rants animatedly to the camera that Peih-Gee is ragging on his "butt" but clearly that dumb broad doesn't understand the way Dave does that "camp doesn't sort itself out". "It's not rocket science!" he insists. I wonder who he will blame then when he passes out in the next Challenge.

Later that morning, Dave collapses on the shelter floor as the others lazily study the rock arrangement Dave has set up in his shrine and argue about how they will balance the wok on those rocks. Oh, I'm quite surprised that the editors neglect to put those charming pixels on Erik's crotch because in that scene I will have to be blind in order to miss seeing... you know, that. Not that I am complaining, of course. Erik is pretty. Anyway, Dave decides that he has been keeping his genius to himself long enough so he pipes up, "Look at me!" I can only hope that he is a more pleasant person to work for in real life. He then proceeds to tell them what he thinks they should do, which will be fine if he wasn't so obnoxious about it. He grabs the rocks and pretty much rearranges what he has done earlier that morning while telling the others inspiring things like "Just do it!", "Get it done!", and "Simple as that!" I don't know whether to be amazed with or embarrassed by Dave's apparent ease in making other people feel really stupid and insulted at the same time.

Really, you have to watch this fellow in action to appreciate how ridiculous he is. He probably believes that he is being funny when in fact he is being off-putting and obnoxious. I wonder how he can be so oblivious to the looks of seething hatred that everyone, every Jaime, throws at him as he walks around demonstrating his delusional superiority over the others.

Finally, Frosti pipes up that they will have figured things out soon if Dave hasn't interrupted them and proceeded to flush all over their pride. Dave is beginning to launch into some kind of tirade when Peih-Gee speaks up to ask Erik to pass her something. She's doing that deliberately, of course. Dave realizes only there and then that the others apart from Sherea are not even looking at him, much less listening to him. Sherea is looking at him, but judging from the way her eyes are wide open as if she's stuck in a room with Dave and there is no way she can escape, she's probably too tired to roll her body over so that she doesn't have to look at him.

Frosti tells the camera that Dave tanked the last Challenge for them and as a result he was nearly sent packing. Like Peih-Gee, he doesn't understand why Dave doesn't get it. Well, I suspect this is because Dave believes that they booted Ashley instead of him because they love him. Given how thick-skinned he is when it comes to dealing with people, I don't think he even begins to realize that the other Zhanies cannot stand him. As Dave prattles on and on, Peih-Gee gives a half-hearted confessional about how they will all have to look out for each other at the end of the day, no matter how much they disagree with each other, in order to win Challenges. I wonder whether she really believes what she is saying.

Reward Challenge time. Probby awaits the two tribes by the lake with his usual bag of smarm, which is a little more intense than usual because as we shall soon see he actually gets to use his favorite phrase "women on women" as many times as possible in this particular segment. After all, Probby loves it when he gets to demonstrate his heterosexual manliness. Once the two tribes have filed in - and Todd is dangling loosely in his underwear, if I may point out - Probby points out to the Longies that Ashley was booted from Zhan Hu. Dave gives this big smirk but if he is expecting people to applaud him for some reason, he's not getting it as the Longies clearly don't care.

Probby then explains the Challenge. They will all move onto two boats which are held in place so that they won't move apart and accidentally send one tribe down to Taiwan. There are two platforms spanning across the two boats. Each round will see three members of the same sex from one tribe going at it with three members of the same sex from the other tribe. The platforms are there so that people are free to chase each other around the two boats. The tribe to fling every member of the other tribe into the water will get a point. The tribe that gets three points first will win a set of blankets and pillows as well as a lantern, kerosene, and a tarp. Oh, and because Fei Long has an extra male and female tribe member, Todd and Courtney sit out of this one because they are the weakest members and therefore it is only logical that they save their weakest members for the Immunity Challenge. Am I right, Fei Long?

Sherea, Peih-Gee, and Jaime square off against Amanda, Leslie, and Denise in the first round. Denise, who must have plenty of experience hauling screaming kids into the lunch room to eat her food, makes a dash across the platform to grab Jaime but Peih-Gee and Jaime tackle Denise the moment she reaches them. Denise falls into the water when Peih-Gee gives her a hard shove so she's out of that round. Jaime and Sherea now run over to tackle Amanda while Peih-Gee goes one-on-one with Leslie. Eventually Sherea and Jaime overpower Amanda and shove her overboard. They and Peih-Gee then make short work of Leslie. Zhan Hu gets the first point.

Hello there, Erik's little buddy. He may as well not be wearing those shorts, let me just say.

Ahem, round two now. Frosti, Dave, and Erik will go up against James, Aaron, and Jean-Robert. Judging from the size of these men alone, I'd bet my money on Fei Long winning this round. Dave the pretentious dweeb decides to strip off because he imagines that he's Richard Hatch or something. Good heavens, I hope he's emulating Hatch with at least some sense of irony because otherwise he is just plain tragic. Aaron looks like he's about to strip as well as he has shoved his magic blue shorts dangerously low, but it's okay that he doesn't because we all know that pixels ruin everything. Dave and Aaron go one on one on a platform which ends up with Dave pouncing on Aaron and getting his you-know-what right in the middle of Aaron's face. Beautiful. These two men lose their balance and fall down into the water. Jean-Robert has no problem tossing Frosti overboard before ganging up on Erik with James. As I expected, Erik soon hits the water with Jean-Robert. Since James is still standing, Fei Long gets a point.

The women are back for round three. This time, Leslie and Sherea square off on one plank while Amanda and Peih-Gee face each other on the other plank. Peih-Gee does what I feel is a feint of some sort, pretending to move so that Amanda will pounce. Just as Amanda pounces, Peih-Gee moves back so that she and Jaime can tackle Amanda. Sherea decides to run and help the two women, which allows Denise and Leslie to give chase and pounce on Sherea from behind. Jaime helps Sherea and they both toss Leslie into the water. Now Denise and Amanda are tangled up with Sherea, Peih-Gee, and Jaime until Sherea falls overboard along with Amanda. Jaime and Peih-Gee manage to roll a struggling Denise to the edge of the boat and finally pushes her over. Poor Denise's legs are flailing in a most undignified manner that causes the editors to put a patch of pixels right between her thighs as she falls overboard. Showing the world her pixels while being unceremoniously tossed overboard by two skinny broads - how will poor Denise live this one down?

Oh, Erik, that's a really nice view.

Ahem. The men take their positions for round four and Dave is still naked. Aaron and Erik face off on one platform in a collision of pretty while Dave hops onto the other platform and, as Probby puts it, "taunts" James. By taunting, I mean he's acting like he's a boxer punching the air before a match and not, er, anything else you may be thinking. James tackles Dave and the other men all dash to join in the fun. After some tackling, Dave, Frosti, and Jean-Robert all end up in the water. This leaves James and Aaron to tackle Erik who once again doesn't last long. James rolls both him and Aaron, who are busy wrestling each other to the ground, off the boat and into in the water. This round belongs to Fei Long.

The women are next and it's pretty obvious by now that, barring a miracle, Zhan Hu has this one in the bag. Jaime and Peih-Gee run straight for Denise. Amanda looks lost for a moment until Sherea throws herself at her. Leslie ends up grabbing Peih-Gee in a chokehold while everyone else is wrestling and grabbing whatever they can get a hold of. The whole thing ends up in a most amusing scenario where Sherea manages to use her right leg to shove Amanda off the boat. As Amanda falls off into the water, she grabs Sherea's leg, clearly intending to drag her down with her. Sherea grabs on to the mast for dear life as a pixel patch juts out from between her legs in a most undignified manner. Amanda eventually loses her grip on that leg and is out of the round. Leslie now has Sherea pinned to the floor and Sherea is using her lower body to try to push Leslie off.

Meanwhile, Jaime and Peih-Gee are struggling with Denise. Eventually Sherea manages to push Leslie off her and right into the water. Todd and Courtney shake their heads as Sherea grabs on to Denise while Amanda and Peih-Gee combined their strength to push Sherea off the ship, taking Denise down with Sherea. So, Zhan Hu wins some goodies, which is not as a shocking surprise as Probby is trying to make it out to be as this is only the third episode and it's not as if Zhan Hu is on a ten-episode losing streak. It's still too early to announce Zhan Hu as the new Ulong if you ask me. I'll reserve judgment until a few more episodes down the road.

Probby now tells Zhan Hu that not only they have won the goodies, they can also "kidnap" one member from Fei Long to join their tribe until the next Immunity Challenge. Like "tally", "kidnap" is clearly a word that Probby doesn't really know the meaning of. The Zhanies pick Leslie, maybe because Jaime has told them that Leslie is the most harmless person to have in their tribe, and Probby hands Leslie the sealed tube that she will have to read later in private. And with that, Probby dismisses the tribes.

As the happy Zhanies return to their camp and place those pillows on the shelter floor so that they can all admire those pillows, Jaime tells the camera that she is so happy that they won because they now have pillows and such, plus they also have Leslie. Wait, she's happy to have Leslie on her tribe? Leslie tells the Zhanies that she's happy for them and Dave promises her that he will wash his mouth and keep his drawers on just for her. Wait, did he know about Leslie's issue with Jean-Robert? Leslie tells the camera that she's impressed by the fact that the Zhanies have lost two members but manage to be still so cheerful. Well, they have just won something so it's expected that they are happy. Wait until Leslie sees Dave the inspirational tribe leader in action.

Erik leaps into the lake impressively as the Zhanies later hang out by the lake on their boat. Everyone is having a good time in the afterglow of their recent victory. Later, they all submerge themselves in the water up to the necks as they begin chatting with Leslie. Leslie lets out that she finds this tribe a much happier one because her own tribe has some "strong personalities". What is Dave doing, by the way, in his own corner with his back facing the others? I don't trust men like him, especially when one can't see what they are doing with their hands. The other Zhanies quiz Leslie on Aaron and Todd and, as Peih-Gee puts it to the camera, Leslie ends up giving up some useful information about the dynamics of Fei Long. She chuckles that by being nice to Leslie and getting her to share things in a "nice gossipy way", they get some pretty good information in return.

The topic of discussion inevitably turns to Christianity although to be fair to Leslie, someone off-camera brings it up first. Leslie is eager to dispel any assumptions these people may have of her stemming from that incident in the temple in the first episode, so she is happy to talk about her faith. She tells the camera that she believes that the Zhanies appreciate what she has to say. She adds that she wants to show people "the love of Christ". Well, good for her, although she has me scratching my head a little when she goes on to say that she doesn't talk a lot about her faith in her own tribe because are not enough Christians there, which she feels is why her fellow tribe members are so "cynical". I think she comes off pretty well on the whole despite the show sometimes trying to edit her as That Very Christian Lady, but I can see why she can rub some people off the wrong way.

Fei Long. James and Jean-Robert are having a private discussion by the lake where they discuss sending "Sister Christian" packing. Apparently she doesn't do much around camp. James really loses me when he says that he doesn't buy her "crap" and adds that people who pray the most are the biggest sinners who need to pray since they know they are going to hell. I'm not a religious person but I am not comfortable when people paint religious people with a broad brush. Those two have no idea that Courtney and Todd are within earshot. Courtney stops Todd when he begins to cut down some bamboos because she wants to hear every word those two morons are saying, heh. And sure enough, her ears must burn when those two agree that of course they and Denise need to "stay for a while", as James puts it. The men go on to say that they don't have to concern themselves with Courtney since he knows that she is the first to go upon the merge. They also think pretty lowly of Todd, causing Todd to tell Courtney that he will "strangle his ass". Todd and Courtney really look shaken by what they have heard.

To the camera, Todd says that he and Courtney are "literally twenty yards" from those two morons and those morons can actually see Todd and Courtney if they care to actually look, and yet there they are, talking in their loudest voices for all to hear.

Poor Courtney really regrets listening on when Jean-Robert teases James for being "hot" for Courtney's "ass". Jean-Robert goes on to list out all those things about Courtney that he, er, likes. Courtney gives a pained smile as she listens to that creepy old buffoon break down her physical traits. She looks really embarrassed and unhappy and I feel really sorry for her when Jean-Robert snickers that it will be great if James get "a million dollars and some ass" and James snickers back in response. Courtney whispers to Todd that she is never going to sleep near those two men again. Todd tells the camera that he will make those two guys "pay" in some way one of these days, adding that there needs to be a time to "take out the trash" and those two men are the trash where he is concerned. I don't think what Jean-Robert and James did is anything worse than what men say in places like locker rooms when there are no women around but I can definitely understand why Courtney and Todd are not happy with those two at the moment. When Jean-Robert and James move to return to camp and have to walk past Courtney and Todd, it's pretty hilarious to see their attempts to act casual around those two when they are probably crapping inside their heads about how much those two may have overheard.

Cut to day nine, Zhan Hu, morning. A snake slithers under someone's bra on the washing line. Eeuw, I hope the owner doesn't mind snakes or she will really freak out when she sees this.

As Leslie walks around the camp and thoughtfully stops for a moment near Erik so that the camera can linger over his rear end, she tells the camera that she knows what is in the tube Probby handed over to her since Jaime passed her a tube similar to this one in the previous episode. Leslie tells the camera that she was handed the tube by Probby "yesterday", so either this confessional has clearly taken place some time on day eight or the Challenge actually took place on day eight and not day seven as this episode suggested. Whatever, really, I'm not that concerned about the chronology of events on this show. The editors should be more careful though about continuity.

At any rate, Leslie rather predictably decides to ask Jaime to show her a place where she can change in order to separate Jaime from the others. Jaime lights up like a Christmas tree when Leslie approaches her because she knows what Leslie wants to pass over to her. Jaime tells the camera that she trusts Leslie and her trust in Leslie is paying off so she feels that things are working out well for her. The clue has the same thing as Leslie's parchment had along with an extra bit that goes, "Waste no moment in searching the ground. Look towards the heavens for what would be found." Jaime tells the camera that Waldo is probably right in front of her so she will just have to pay more attention to her surroundings. The camera zooms in on that ornament on the tribe arch structure because this show can be so subtle that way.

Immunity Challenge time. Probby waits in a clearing until the two tribes have filed in before getting Leslie to return to Fei Long. Leslie says that Zhan Hu is a fun tribe to be with and with that out of the way, Probby explains the Challenge. In this one, four tribe members will, one by one, run over to this bundle of wood and use a machete to chop through the wood until they find and cut through seven ropes among the bundle. The ropes, when cut, will release a bundle of discs from a platform. The "chopper", as Probby calls the person who chops the wood, will cut down the discs and run back to the tribe. There are four bundles of discs to collect in this manner. Each disc has a slot in the center of a specific shape. The remaining two tribe members will take these discs and slot each one down a "puzzle pole" by rotating each disc in a specific manner down the pole. Kind of like a typical "match the shape and slot in" puzzle, if you will. When they have correctly slotted all the discs, they will drag the pole with the discs along the ground to a finish line. The first tribe to cross the line will enjoy Chairman Mao's illustrious company which is always preferable to Probby's in Tribal Council. Fei Long sits out Denise and Leslie and everyone is then good to go.

I don't know why Fei Long decide to put Courtney who looks like she can barely lift the machete to do the chopping but she goes first against Jaime. At any rate, by the time Courtney finally hacks her way through in the most feeble and even embarrassing display of sucky chopping ever, Zhan Hu have already all four bundles of discs collected. Jaime and Peih-Gee, by the way, can sure swing a machete as if they are starring in Kill Bill 3. Their significant others have better treat them nicely, heh. As Courtney tearfully hacks at her bundle, Frosti and Erik easily collect the remaining two bundles of discs for Zhan Hu.

Courtney finally gets the first bundle of discs for Fei Long as Sherea and Dave begin working on the puzzle pole. Amanda, Aaron, and James make up a lot of time in collecting the remaining three bundles of discs for Fei Long so the two tribes are now tied at the puzzle pole. Sherea and Dave are working really slowly while Todd and Jean-Robert are working really quickly, but Courtney has cost her too much time in the end. Dave and Sherea easily finish their task and drag the whole thing to the finish line well ahead of Fei Long. So, once again, Zhan Hu wins a Challenge. As the Zhanies celebrate, Courtney begins to cry because she knows that she's definitely on thin ice now.

Fei Long. It is not so cheerful around the camp now that the inevitable postmortem finger-pointing session begins. The camera zooms in on Courtney's blistered and Band-aided hand as she jokes that she may have lost two hands and "possibly a shoulder" in that Challenge. Aaron puts his arm around her comfortingly while Todd compliments her in a rather half-hearted manner for at least not quitting halfway. However, Jean-Robert is not so forgiving as he tells the camera that this loss demonstrates that they need to cut the dead weight and keep the brawn in the tribe. He thinks that it is only "common sense" to get rid of one of the two "weakest women" on the tribe, Courtney and Leslie.

Leslie then manages to dig her own grave without realizing it when she tells the other Longies about how she thinks the Zhanies kidnapped her because they are a friendly tribe with three Christian members. The implication one can easily get from her words is that Fei Long is therefore an unfriendly tribe full of miserable heathens. Leslie also reveals that she had told them that Aaron is the leader of Fei Long, which gets Aaron all bloated with misguided indignation in front of the camera about Leslie's blabbermouth. Come on, it's pretty obvious to anyone and everyone that Aaron is the leader of Fei Long.

Courtney and Leslie on the other hand decide to save themselves by booting Jean-Robert, citing his disgusting presence as the reason. Todd is into this for obvious reasons but his ally, Amanda, on the other hand, will prefer to get rid of Courtney. Still, she may have agreed on booting Jean-Robert if Aaron, their third ally, is adamant on getting rid of Leslie. Leslie is a Spy! Leslie is the Mole! Aaron is convinced that Leslie has bonded with Zhan Hu and will turn on Fei Long once they make the merge, so Leslie has to go. Oh, Aaron. This silly twit is thinking way too ahead. I love how the cameraman zooms in so close on Aaron's crotch (bless those very revealing boxer shorts), with what he says being subtitled, so that it seems as if Aaron's crotch is the one doing the talking to Amanda and Todd. Todd tells the camera that he is hoping to get rid of one of those big brawny buffoons in the tribe but now it looks like he won't get his chance.

Jean-Robert's ridiculous speech to the Longies minus the two women on the block about how he'd seen anorexics with more flesh on their body than Courtney seals the deal, I believe, although I also find it really bizarre that Jean-Robert can be waxing creepy lechery to James about Courtney's ass only to later publicly berate her behind her back for... deliberately getting skinny just before the Challenge, if I am to go by his words. The only thing I really dislike about this episode is that there is no chance that this disgusting creep will get the boot. At any rate, as they all leave for Tribal Council, Todd gives the predictable confessional about not knowing what to do. Whatever, really.

Night, Tribal Council. Courtney gets to confront Jean-Robert for calling the women of the tribe weak and Jean-Robert gives the predictable "I'm just keeping it real!" defense that assholes tend to do when they are called on their behavior. The rest of the asinine chatter is pretty much fluff that culminates in the voting session where Courtney and Leslie send Jean-Robert some love but the others all send their blessings for Leslie (or "Mom", or "Sister Christian") to take a hike to Loser Lodge. Probby talks about how Fei Long need to utilize their "unique strength" - whatever that means - and send the rest of the Longies away. Leslie gives a predictable final word that evokes God's will and I must say, it's good that she has so much faith in God because she is going to be spending lots of time with Chicken and Ashley so she is probably going to pray for patience pretty often within the next few weeks. Leslie is alright, really, and I'd rather see Jean-Robert get the boot. But if God wants Leslie to take a hike like she says, who am I to argue with God?
