The show opens with more quotes from Russell:
“This might be one of my best pieces of work I’ve ever done. Take that to the bank.”
Then: “It was almost as great as my kids being born."
Galu still thinks they still have the numbers, though. Laura tells the camera that they should have known better. Somehow CBS cuts to NBC with Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers saying, “Really.” Before the opening intro, Shambo is laughing hysterically at how “pissed” Laura was.
Day 25 has dawned and begins with Russell searching for the immunity idol. He compares the idols to magnets, as they are drawn to him. Shambo is calling Laura the following names: head viper, viper queen, the snake of the tribe, the evil demon and the beast. Awesome, Shambo.
Shambo tries to convince John to join the Foa Foa alliance, and it seems to me like a very dumb play on her part. John says he will do what’s right for him. For the reward challenge, the winning team will have a plane ride to a waterfall and picnic lunch. The Palm Pre from Sprint is sponsoring this challenge and the winners will get to take photos with it.
They’re divided into teams and must maneuver John and Natalie, who are laying face down in a cradle with ropes toward a flag. Have I described it well enough? The cameras either avoid the gratuitous cleavage shots Natalie is providing or they have just been edited out.
She’s doing very well in this challenge, though. Now whenever she’s shown, there’s a lot of blurring going on. Natalie, Russell, Laura, Dave, and Brett win reward. Before commercial, Russell says that with the clue he will take out Laura.
In the plane, lots of Palm Pre shots. The island they’re arriving on looks stunning. The winning five dig in on hot dogs and pie. In case you’re wondering, no, Russell didn’t ask to put his hot dog in Natalie’s pie.
Back at camp, Jaison is strategizing with Monica and Mick and the guys appear to be making an attempt at bringing her on their side. On the Palm Pre, there is both a text and video clue to the whereabouts of the immunity idol. Back at camp, Russell pulls Mick and Jaison aside and tells them about the clue(s). And now the race is on to find the idol…
Who will find it? Everyone is looking, and Dave is following Russell. Russell is actually trying to outrun him, which is pretty funny. Holy crap. Once again, Russell has found the idol. Wow.
Laura and Monica are concerned about Shambo’s loyalty, and Laura knows that a target is on her head. But it’s already time for the immunity challenge. It’s a two-part challenge involving rock throwing and bow and arrow shooting. Oooh, Laura misses her shot at the second round and Shambo laughs at her like they’re in a third grade schoolyard.
It’s down to Mick and Brett, and Mick wins immunity.
