Previously, the Ravus didn't just lose again, they started turning on each other with Rocky acting crazy and tearing into Anthony. Over at Moto, Gary decided that he'd rather stay healthy than to stay in the game so he decided to quit the tribe, leaving his sympathetic tribe mates like Lisi to say that Gary was so nice to give them a better chance to win the money. Desperate to save the show, Probby told the Motos after the Motos won yet another Immunity Challenge that the Motos would either stay in Camp Paradiso and lose one tribe member or move to Boot Camp and get Ravu to attend Tribal Council as usual. The Motos choose to keep Camp Paradiso and lose one member, sending out Liliana who apparently made Lisi jealous or something. There goes Burnetto's attempt to switch things up! Will anything unpredictable happen in this episode? Stay tuned!

Night eleven, Boot Camp. The Ravus for the first time on Tribal Council night do not have to face Probby's smirk so the tribe is disconcertingly peaceful for once. The Ravus tended the fire and go to sleep except for Yau-Man. He is cooking them something that looks like potato slices shaped into fries. Or maybe it's pineapple slices? At any rate, he's making himself very useful to his tribemates, which is his strategy that he is sticking to. To the camera, Yau-Man repeats the fact that Wally the Hidden Immunity Idol is hidden in this very camp - "at the threshold of our cave" is how he puts it - and he needs to find time and some privacy in order to look for it. He voices that it's frustrating to know where it is but can't get to it.

Well, Earl may the answer to his problem. In a late night pow-wow, Yau-Man decides to confide in Earl, the other person who's been the Janu Island now that Sylvia is no longer there to declare Janu Island her personal turf, and they both wonder how "deep" as worded in the clues in the captain's log really is and conclude that Wally is most likely buried deep enough that they will need a shovel to dig it out because as Earl puts it, the ground becomes "really hard" after a depth of six inches. Of course, they don't have a shovel, only a machete, which could pose a problem in getting the Idol out. Here's an interesting development - people actually collaborating to get Wally. It's not shown on TV but Sylvia also told Mookie and Rita her suspicion that Wally is hidden in the cave, so we have at least four Ravus having an idea where Wally is and two of them are openly discussing Wally at this very moment. It will be interesting to see how all these developments pan out.

Yau-Man tells the camera that they both know where Wally "sort of" is hidden, so they could join forces or something. Indeed, Earl tells Yau-Man that he is willing to help Yau-Man find Wally by maybe herding the rest of the tribe to some place else under some false pretenses so that Yau-Man can dig for Wally in peace. Earl tells the camera that Yau-Man has more clues to Wally's location than he does but Yau-Man needs his help in order to get it. I believe he'll also expect some kind of favor in return because such "help" doesn't and shouldn't be given freely in such a situation. Earl adds that he likes "Yau" and he wants to win that man's trust, so helping Yau-Man get Wally is a step in winning the man's trust. Earl is getting the Yul edit this season, it's either a big foreshadowing or a huge red herring. I hope it's the former. I can't take any more disappointments in an already disappointing season.

Day twelve, a beautiful morning, Camp Paradiso. Michelle sits alone on the beach, watching the sunrise, and squeaks to the camera that the Ravus are starving. She also points out that the other tribe is living in comfort while the Ravus are still sleeping on palm fronds. At least they have a "good water system" going, she says. Hmm, I must be getting used to her voice but she doesn't sound like nails on blackboard in this confessional.

Later that morning, the Ravus are up, although "up" in this case means that they are sitting up rather than walking around. Earl reiterates to the camera the conversation he had with Yau-Man the night before. To the other Ravus, he tells them that it's time to go search for crabs and snails for their breakfast so the other Ravus do so, leaving behind Yau-Man who quickly grabs the machete as soon as the others are gone. Perhaps he usually stays behind to tend the fire or get a water boiling while the others look for hunt, which will explain why he get to stay behind without the others getting suspicious. To the camera, he says that he's only worried about how much time he has before the others come back. He studies the cave mouth, marks the spot on the ground under the highest point of the cave mouth, and begins stabbing at the earth and digging as much as he can using that machete. As Yau-Man tells the camera, it is not easy to dig "deep" using a machete.

At the beach, the other Ravus are taking their time, which is of course what Earl and Yau-Man are hoping to happen. Michelle and Rita peer at the rocks and the water, probably asking Mr Fish to come out and be their breakfast. Rocky and Mookie are seated on some rocks looking listlessly at the water, deep in thoughts or too tired to even think. Earl leads Anthony on what is supposed to be a fruit-gathering side trip, sneakily telling Anthony that they need to take some time to appreciate the scenery and all. Earl with his shirt pulled up while making that trek to the top of the hill is the sexiest thing I've seen so far on this season. Am I allowed to say that? Anthony tells the camera that he and Earl admire the scenery and it is so great to get a rare chance to take "it" all in. He adds that this gives a psychological boost to them all. The poor dear clearly has no clue what Earl is trying to do here. Back at camp, Yau-Man fails to do more than to dig a shallow hole in the ground. Disappointed, he covers up the hole as he tells the camera that he can't do anything much with only a machete at hand. As he stomps on the newly-covered hole to make it even with the rest of the ground, he whispers to himself, "Try again!"

I suppose we have to see what the Motos are doing in Camp Paradiso even at this point it should be obvious. Unfinished food, unwashed dishes - I'd be so embarrassed if I'm a Moto on this show. Boo returns with Stacy to read out the tree-mail they have retrieved. The missive comes with a catalog of all kinds of goodies they can apparently win the upcoming Reward Challenge. A coffee set, more fishing gear, beer and nuts, chocolate cake, boiling pot and potatoes, and lamps and kerosene are some of the things I happen to catch while Boo and Stacy are flicking the pages of the catalog. Stacy reads out that they can choose two of the goodies in the catalog if they win. The Motos act like they will win this Challenge as well as they talk about what unnecessary goodies they want to have, which they may even if it does make them look pretty bad when they behave this way. I'm not saying that what they are doing is strictly wrong, it's just that the disparity between the Motos and the Ravus is so ridiculous that it makes the Motos look really petty and unnecessarily arrogant as a result. Boo says that they keep getting more while the Ravus keep getting nothing and... like I've said, what he's saying is technically the truth but sheesh, some compassion will be nice for once. I believe it is Edgardo or Alex who says to the others that it doesn't matter what they win because they already have so much luxury. Exactly. This show has made itself completely irrelevant until the merge where hopefully some things will finally happen.

While the Motos are discussing what they want, the Ravus are discussing what they need from the items in the catalog. Rocky and Michelle are for picking one item they need and one frivolous item that will be fun to have but Earl prefers that they pick two items that they need. It seems like Earl wants the fishing gear while Rocky wants the chocolate cake. I don't know why they can't have both. Is there another item that they both agree they have to pick? Earl tells the camera that Moto is like The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air while the Ravus are Good Times. Tell me about it. Earl says that he'd like to have wine and cheese but they have to be practical and choose what they need instead of what they want. I think the Ravus come to some kind of amicable agreement because the next thing I know, they are discussing how nice it is to enjoy some of the food shown in the catalog until Rocky cries out in anguish, "Stop with all the food games!" Heh, no matter what nonsense this tribe gets into, I still find them more entertaining than the Motos.

Coming up next, one-on-one Challenge time. I tell you, Burnetto must have gone utterly insane if he cannot predict the outcome of having a well-fed tribe and a tribe that has starved for twelve days going at it in such a Challenge. Do I even need to recap this thing? Can I just say "the Motos win, duh" and get on with the recap?

As the wind impressively mold Probby's shirt to his brand new gym-honed physique - given how sucky this season is, I do appreciate Probby trying to bring on a sex appeal but perhaps it will be better if he ditches the shirt - Probby waits until the two tribes have filed in by the beach. Incidentally, Boo who made such a fuss about taunting being a poor sport shows up eating a mango. Perhaps he's thinking about a little payback, but it clearly hasn't occurred to this nitwit how petty he comes off as here. Probby needless to say spots this and tries to get the Ravus to say something the show can used as a "controversial soundbite" but Rocky merely says that he only gets more fired up by Boo's taunt while Boo snorts in derision. The other Motos grin because you know, they will surely win.

And so, a big screw you to Burnetto for feeding to these obnoxious creatures' already bloated hubris because this Challenge is all about one-on-one bitchfights with literal whackings of each other with big cuboidal pillow cushion-like thingies on a platform until the opponent falls into the muddy ground. The winning tribe will be the one that gets seven points - one point for each downed opponent - and this tribe gets four items, the two items picked by it as well as the two items picked by the losing tribe. In this case, Ravu picks fishing gear and the pot with potatos while Moto picks toiletries and the coffee set. This means Moto will end up with three sets of fishing gear at the end of the day. Rocky knows this and he is not pleased. Dreamz taunts him and I'm not recapping their bickering because it's painful to watch and embarrassing for all involved. It's embarrassing for Dreamz because he's the well-fed asshole taunting a starving asshole for no reason other than pettiness and it's embarrassing for Rocky to rise to the bait and being unable to pick his battles wisely. And it's embarrassing that I have to watch the two assholes go at it.

So Probby can't resist putting Rocky and Dreamz in the first round. Gee, a guy with his ribs sticking out and a guy who's barely lost any muscle mass - it's a shocker that Rocky falls right into the mud after putting up an admittedly good fight in a situation that he cannot win. Dreamz and the Motos make an embarrassing show of themselves hooting and showboating as if they are underdogs that have triumphed over the goliaths or something. It's not that what they are doing is wrong, but sheesh, it's embarrassing. It's like watching babies stomp on ants and then cheering because the ants died. Next round, Cassandra versus Rita. Cassandra must weigh twice that of Rita so down Rita goes after just one blow. Edgardo and Anthony are next and Anthony being Anthony flails around like a helpless fish on a hook until he mercifully goes down for the count. Again the Motos hoot with excitement while the rest of the audience cringe in embarrassment because this is truly excruciating to watch. Lisi and Michelle next in a match akin to a rhinoceros running forward to crush a squirrel. Michelle goes down for the count. Boo versus Earl doesn't seem so mismatched but Earl slips so down he goes as well. Alex and Mookie next and again, Alex weighs so much more than Mookie and he isn't a starving person so down Mookie goes despite, like Rocky, putting up a valiant flight.

Yau-Man versus Stacy. Stacy is actually bigger than the wry and skinny Yau-Man and if Stacy wins, it's over for the Ravus, if it isn't already over ever since this Challenge is implemented. Lisi yells at Stacy to "bulldoze" Yau-Man because it is never too embarrassing to be seen on TV screaming for the complete crushing and obliteration of a competitor who has no hope of winning against you. Alex and Dreamz smile at each other because there's no way Yau-Man is going to lose for sure. Right? Yau-Man however hangs in there, defending himself from Stacy's blow until Stacy tries to turn and equilibrate herself on the platform. Then he strikes and Stacy comes this close to planting her face into the mud. Yau-Man says that this is an "ugly win" since he's picking on a woman but concludes that a win is still a win. I'd like to imagine that he's making a dig at Lisi but I doubt Lisi has any self-awareness to know that she's being mocked. The Ravus cheer and even Rocky looks happy for once as he says, "Atta boy, Yau-Man!"

But that's just delaying the inevitable because next up is Cassandra versus Rita which is a replay of their previous match. One hit and down Rita goes. Moto gets more fishing gear and some potatoes that they will probably leave aside to rot as they eat their tiramisu and fresh oysters or something, on top of coffee and toiletries. This Challenge is as fun to watch as seeing the rainforest being cut down so that some bigshot can build a ranch that he only visits once a year. Also, the Motos get to send someone to Janu Island so they send Earl. On one hand, it's sensible to send one person to Janu Island so that it narrows the possibility of people running around with Wally in their pockets, but on the other hand, why they will give a buff fellow a chance to get his hands on Wally, I have no idea. What happens if he becomes an Immunity monster like Terry two seasons ago? They'll never be rid of him then! Still, it's Earl, so, like Yul, he can get his hands on six hidden Immunity Idols and never go away for all I care. I don't mind if he stays around, heh. Anyway, the Motos win and the Ravus lose, as predicted, and Probby sends them away.

Day thirteen, morning, Camp Paradiso. Great, more of Moto, just what I need to make this episode more perfect. As the Motos laze around with their goodies like overweight pigs cavorting in the mud, Alex talks about how important and great it is to win all these goodies because they don't want to lose "any advantage" to the Ravus. Everyone else watching this show cringes in shame on his behalf.

Meanwhile, Dreamz walks around, saying loudly that they even have floss among their toiletries. Floss. Even the people on Temptation Island don't have it this good, I'd bet. The music stops as Lisi and Stacy just ignore him. Of course, that's understandable since Dreamz is generally an annoying prattling windbag but Stacy reveals a more sinister motive for the two women's ignoring of Dreamz by telling the camera that Dreamz and Cassandra have no allies in Moto so, as she puts it, "It's five to two, they're going to get picked off, they know it, they're getting paranoid. Not my problem. We're all adults here; there's no children. I mean, come on. It's Survivor!" Firstly, if they know they are being picked off, then Dreamz and Cassandra can't be paranoid, can they? Secondly... there is no secondly because it is not smart at all to assume that you can just treat someone like crap because you feel secure in your alliance that dominates the tribe. The ethical and moral aspects of such behavior aside, this is a social competition so it is not good strategy to openly ostracize someone so early, especially when they may come in useful later on when it comes to getting ahead in the totem pole of the alliance. After all, how sure is Stacy that she has the numbers to get herself to the final two over the other three members of the alliance? Always have a Plan B, isn't that what good gameplay is all about?

More Mean Girls nastiness follow when Dreamz realizes that the coffee powder isn't the "instant-dissolve" type he's used to and he tries but not quite succeed in using the coffee-maker they have won. Lisi simply tells him that he is doing things wrong. Alex tells the two women that if they know how to operate the French press, they should show Dreamz how to use it. Stacy announces that she's not telling Dreamz anything while Dreamz is within earshot. Dreamz naturally mutters to himself like a put-upon elderly woman being isolated by her relatives. Alex tells the camera that it "nauseates" him to see the two women treating Dreamz in such an "outright rude" manner. Back at camp, Alex says that he'd like to help if he knows how to use that French press. Stacy then tells Alex quickly how to use it, ending her instructions with a terse, "It's simple as that!" Alex continues to the camera about karma and how you treat people will end up coming back at you.

Lisi and Stacy then happily make coffee for themselves while Dreamz looks on from the sidelines. Nice one, ladies. Get a place to lay down low after this episode is aired on TV because I suspect that they won't be getting much love no matter how much they protest that the editing makes them more evil than they actually are. Meanwhile, Cassandra complains that her coffee is "all grinds" and Stacy makes a face because people are so stupid when they can't operate a French press, so there. The implication in the editing of this scene seems to be that Stacy or Lisi made the coffee for Cassandra and they must have deliberately made an undrinkable cup for the poor woman. Meanwhile, the men all look aghast at the behavior of the two women, or so the editing suggests. There is something very choppy about the way this particular scene is edited so I'm taking this canonization of Dreamz and Cassandra as the martyrs of Moto with some pinch of salt. I'm not saying Lisi and Stacy are angels, I'm just saying that I won't be surprised if the editors exercise some creative exaggeration of the sins of the two women. At any rate, Edgardo claims to the camera that he is upset with Stacy and Lisi for being on a power trip and if they continue their behavior, he'll make sure that they find themselves on the chopping block. What can I say? Promises, promises.

Janu Island. Earl has nothing to do other than to make the snakes his bitches and read the rolled up scroll in the tower where he's told that Wally is "under the entrance, under the ground, right where you're living". I suspect that the next "clue" will be a map and a shovel. Earl tells the camera that Yau-Man told him earlier that he couldn't find Wally. "But you never know," he says, suggesting that Yau-Man could have easily lied to him about not finding Wally. That will be a most interesting development indeed if Yau-Man actually found Wally, but he didn't, so alas, this show is still boring.

Boot Camp. Rita and Michelle are talking where Rita apologizes for her poor pillow-bashing skills at the previous Challenge. She then starts talking with Michelle about make-up and beauty tips. The editing starts suggesting that the two ladies talk about such matters for a long time. Mookie and Rocky are lying on the palm fronds on the cave floor and the editing implies that the two women wake them up. Rocky says that the conversation between the two women make him want to hang himself. Remember, he's a manly man who likes to do manly stuff like wearing a woman's tank top and filling it with coconuts. Anthony complains to Rocky that his ears are bleeding and all. How nice to see that the bully and the oppressed finally get to bond over their shared disdain of yucky girls with cooties. Rocky tells Anthony that the two women could have gone somewhere else to talk. Don't ask me why he can't just tell the two women to talk somewhere else then instead of muttering under his breath like a bitter old crank. Rocky then tells the camera how "stupid" he finds the two women's conversation, which makes sense because Rocky's the man you go to when you want intelligent conversation. Thus ends the "All girls are yuk-yuk" sequence of this episode which is clearly a lame attempt by the editors to justify why nearly all the women are gone in five episodes, as if having no women to get guys like Rocky to watch this show is the biggest problem of this season.

Back to the Motos in Camp Paradiso, where at least the show can create some kind of morality arc from the nitwits in that tribe. Alex seems to be the only one who can count as later that evening he tells Lisi what will happen if, say, they win every Immunity Challenge until they merge once there are ten people left on this show. That means that seven Motos will merge into a tribe with three Ravus. Now, with Dreamz and Cassandra being alienated so badly by the Five For Stupid alliance, should they flip and join forces with the Ravus, this leaves Five For Stupid in a stalemate with the other five tribe members, thus eliminating whatever advantage the Five For Stupid alliance may have coming into the merge. Lisi is like, yeah, yeah, cool. Alex tells her that it is not cool and explains once again things to her. To the camera, Alex says that the current situation is "eating away" at him once he started doing the math.

Alex now tries to bring some enlightening to Stacy. Her response? "We do not need to do business with them at all, seriously. I don't think we should include Dreamz and Cassandra in anything." Alex pulls an "Are you even listening to me?" face. Alex tells the camera that if Dreamz and Cassandra "flip-flop", Five For Stupid will be "screwed". Now Alex approaches Boo and lays out his thoughts. "Those two, Cassandra and Dreamz, are gonna deflect!" he tells Boo. Heh, I think the word he's looking for is "defect". Boo listens to Alex as Alex tells him that they need to be nicer to Cassandra and Dreamz because they need those two to help them maintain a majority come the merge. Boo blinks and tells Alex, "Yeah, but we want them all gone!"

"God, kill me! Kill me! Kill me right now!" Alex tells the camera in frustration. He doesn't understand why nobody seems to get what he's trying to tell them. Fortunately for him, Edgardo agrees with him when Alex tells Edgardo that the "stupid", "dumb", and "irrational girls" are getting in the way. Edgardo, after repeating what Alex is saying to the camera, agrees with Alex that Boo is "so dumb" too for going along with the women. That's nice, because I'd hate to believe that these two are misogynists or something for leaving the guy out of the dumb and stupid equation when he's as much a part of the stupid brigade as the two women. Those two men also agree that the other three in the Five For Stupid alliance aren't thinking ahead.

Alex tries to do what damage control he can back at camp by gathering all Motos and having a prep talk where he talks about the need to take out all the Ravus come the merge. Boo is like, "Yah! Yah! Yah!" Dreamz however tells the camera that the first thing come the merge, he and Cassandra are flipping over. Back at camp, Stacy chirps about solidarity but it's clear that she's talking about her friends and not the other two that she doesn't consider part of her clique. The Motos then use the word "genocide" to describe the wiping out of the Ravus. With the current extreme deprivation of the Ravus and the ridiculous abundance possessed by the Motos, the use of the word "genocide" is... unfortunate. Dreamz continues ranting to the camera, "I can't wait to the day to put on my snakeskin boots and show them strategy." I don't like him but yeah, do it for me, Dreamz. As Stacy talks about how they are all cool as long as they remain tight as seven, Dreamz grins mockingly, not fooled one bit by Stacy. If Stacy is less self-absorbed, perhaps she may notice that Dreamz doesn't believe her because Dreamz's face expresses his disdain very clearly at that moment.

Day fourteen starts with a bang as we cut straight to the Immunity Challenge. Probby awaits in a clearing for the two tribes to file in before bringing in Earl to rejoin Moto. Probby now reveals that this Challenge tests the tribemembers' memory. This is another suspenseful one - between the tribe that lived in comfort and the tribe living in hunger and mental duress, which tribe do you think will be in a better state of mind to think, much less memorize things? Anyway, there are thirty covered easels in the clearing in front of them and each easel has word such as "princess" or a number such as "5" on it. Each tribe member must figure out the two easels that have matching words or numbers. There are four easels with no matching equivalent. The first tribe to make seven matches win Skeletor's magic wand.

Basically, this Challenge requires each tribe member to pick two random easels and open them until enough easels have been opened for the tribe to start making matches. If there is no match, the easel is covered up again. There is no "coaching" allowed once the tribe member leaves the platform towards the easel. Nothing is said about discussing things while they are on the platform though.

The Motos win the rock-paper-scissors thing to start things first and Edgardo reveals "7" and "Priest". Rocky is next and he gets "9" and "4". Cassandra is impossibly lucky when she just happens to make a match for "8" just like that so that's one point for Moto. Mookie hands Moto another point when he gets "10" and "7". Boo makes a match for "7" so that's two points for Moto. Rita gets "14" and "3". Stacy gets "5" and "Priest". This is the Ravus' chance to score a point... if they remember where the first "Priest" is. Yau-Man flips over the "Priest" that Stacy found and then forgets where the other "Priest" is, causing Probby to say out loud that Yau-Man's brain is "a little soft" from food deprivation. Probby is trying to turn everyone off this show by reminding the audience how stupid this season is, I see. Yau-Man ends up unearthing "Princess" instead.

Lisi now confidently makes her move because the Motos believe they know where the two easels with "Priest" are, only to fall flat on her face the moment she leaves the platform. It's beautiful - her entire body crashes onto the ground, sending a cloud of yellow dust to fly up into the air at the moment of impact. Her entire face kisses the ground. Trust me on this, I've watched and rewatched this particular scene at least ten times. To add insult to the injury, she opens the first "Priest" and then opens... her tribemates groan so she lets go of the easel she is about to open and heads for the next easel. Anthony protests but Probby is already on the case, saying that Lisi has lost her turn because the other Motos "have spoken". Earl goes ahead and matches up the two easels with "Priest", therefore giving Ravu a point. I love how he just marches up to the easels in question, looks at the two tribes in a cool badass way, and calmly flips open the easels.

Dreamz gets a "5", tries to remember where the other "5" is, and ends up getting "10". Anthony pairs up the "5" and gives Ravu two points. Edgardo matches "3", Rocky matches up (aptly enough) "Warrior", Edgardo scores a point by matching up "2", Mookie scores a point for Ravy with "Chief", Stacy matches "10", and so on and on (here the episode moves into fast forward mode and everything becomes a blur of accelerated movement). Eventually the two tribes are tied at six points each. There is only one pair of easels left along with four dummy boards and the tribe that gets this one will win the Skeletor's magic wand. The other Ravus huddle closely on their platform, clearly eager as a tribe to win just once, just once, as Michelle opens "13" and then "14". The Ravus groan in pain as one, heh. Edgardo now opens "12" and then "9".

Now Rocky asks the other Ravus to tell him where to go before he heads out for his turn. He opens a "9", the other one and not the one that Edgardo had opened. The Ravus gasp at their good luck. The sad thing is, the other "9", the one that Edgardo opened, is the only unopened easel in the first row. This is a no-brainer if Rocky has been paying attention. But Rocky screws up here. As he tries to figure out what to do, the other Ravus' faces quickly go from joy to despair as Rocky opens... "12". Cassandra comes over to deliver the death blow to Ravu and that's it, Ravu is off to Tribal Council. They have only themselves to blame for this one, although then again, you can't be expected to think clearly when you're hungry and stressed-out so I am not going to be so hard on them about this one.

Boot Camp. Rocky gathers the other Motos for a postmortem discussion where he admits that he screwed up and cost the tribe in that Challenge but he also blames part of his screw-up on the fact that apparently everyone was talking to him at the same time so there was "mass confusion" at that moment when he had to make the rounds. Rita waits until she is sure that he has finished to say that she agrees with him, but he then cuts her off. She talks too much! Unlike Rocky, of course, who is a master at being succinct and straight to the point as he now rambles on and on about how they need to win and how it's all about him and how he feels.

Anthony tells the camera that Rocky may be booted for babbling in such a manner because at this point everyone else is looking for any excuse to boot someone else. However, as Rocky and Anthony collect wood by the beach later that day, Rocky tells Anthony that Rita talks too much, which leads to Anthony saying that the Ravus are tired of Rita because she talks too much. In a way, Anthony is right in his confessional - Rocky wants anyone else gone, so does Anthony, so Rita may as well be that scapegoat. Likewise, Mookie asks Yau-Man privately about the person they should boot and Yau-Man brings up Anthony or Rita, two of whom he feels can leave without causing any significant impact on the rest of them. As Rita and Michelle join the two men, Mookie quickly ends the topic, saying that just once he'd like someone else to decide who to boot. With Rita among them now, the four of them decide on Anthony getting the boot at the upcoming Tribal Council.

Ah, but when Mookie talks to Rocky about booting Anthony, Rocky brings up the fact that Rita annoys him. Rocky is adamant on booting Rita, and who knows what Mookie is thinking. As the Ravus leave for Tribal Council, he says that everyone is now some kind of "free agent" so who knows what the votes will turn out to be.

Night, Tribal Council. After the Ravus have settled down on the seats that may as well bear their names permanently, Probby brings up the usual stuff, such as Rocky screwing up (Mookie defends him by saying that Rocky was confused by too many people talking at once - which, to me, only shifts the blame on Rocky for not paying attention then, but that's just me), Rita talking (apparently everyone hates Rita now, if the camera close-ups of all that eye-rolling from the other Ravus is to be believed), and Yau-Man explaining that his philosophy in this game is "Love Many, Trust Few, Do Wrong To None." Of course, he admits that he has no idea how few is "few", heh. Anthony says that he's misunderstood by his tribe members and then it's time to vote.

Earl votes. Rita gives Anthony a vote, talking about her vote following that of the majority. Rocky and Michelle vote. Anthony votes for Rita and it's nothing personal of course, that vote. Yau-Man casts the decisive vote, or so the show suggests by putting him on last. He doesn't reveal his vote, but he does say, "It comes down to who is the most disposable. Sorry, nothing personal." I'd think the person being called "most disposable" may beg to differ when it comes to not taking things personally. Probby tallies the votes. There are two votes for Anthony (Michelle for some reason is out of the loop) while everyone else gives Rita the vote. Bye, Rita! Michelle is the only woman left in Ravu and since she knows by now that she is out of the loop, I don't think she will sleep very well that night.

What isn't shown on this episode but revealed by Rita in post-show interviews is that she is booted because Anthony rats on her to Rocky. She is trying to rally Michelle, Mookie, and Anthony to boot Rocky and it happens that Anthony exposes her plot to Rocky. That explains Rocky's insistence on booting Rita to Mookie, I believe, and with Anthony now showing his hand, Mookie also decides to cut Rita loose and go with the majority. This explains Michelle's vote - she's not told of the last moment change in plan by Anthony and Mookie.
