It’s night 27 at camp, and the first word out of Shambo’s mouth is "Medusa" (referring to Laura). John explains to the camera why he switched his vote to Laura last episode. Monica is calling John the Judas of Galu and hopes he will go home.
Day 28 dawns and there’s tree mail. It’s time for the Survivor food auction and each member of the tribe has received money to buy whatever Jeff has to offer.
First item is the PB&J sandwich, and Natalie bids $200 right away. Next item goes to Shambo for $240 -- and she gets the booby prize of sea noodles (slug guts) sprinkled with Parmesan. Somehow, Shambo seems to enjoy her meal.
The tribe is hoping that the producers won’t go with back-to-back zingers, and Monica is right and purchases a whole cooked chicken for $340. Next item is a big advantage in the immunity challenge, and Jaison goes for broke and bids all $500 of his money for it.
Next item is a cheeseburger, fries and a cold beer, which Mick bids all of his cash on. Next? A clue to the location of the immunity idol. John takes it.
Up next is a shower complete with shampoo and clean underwear. Natalie jumps in the shower and cheesy porn music plays. A slice of apple pie is up next, and John pays $300 for it, but Monty Hall shows up (at least he did on my TV screen) and offers John the option to purchase a whole pie for the rest of the group. John selfishly chooses the single piece of pie, and the auction is over.
After commercial, John finds a private location and reads the clue to the immunity idol. He spends some time looking but can’t find it, and wonders if Russell has already unearthed it.
Shambo apologizes to the chickens for what they’re about to do (eat them), but in the next minute she’s seen cooking them. Dave saunters in and tries to tell Shambo how to boil a chicken. Shambo ain’t havin’ it and tells him to shut up. “He has no idea who he’s picking a fight with today,” she says. We’re then treated to a creepy black and white nightmare sequence with quick cuts of Shambo, the chicken, the moon, a crab, Dave sleeping and … wow that was disturbing.
Immunity challenge time. It’s an endurance challenge to see who can hold on to a weighted log. Jaison's "advantage" is that he's is allowed to move his hands up two rungs of rope, lessening the weight of the logs. Each three minutes they must change hands. It is hot out. Jaison uses his advantage early and moves up two rungs immeidately.
Nobody seems to be giving up, and we’re 21 minutes in. Shambo is first out and falls down, hard. Russell is out next. They are now literally at the end of their ropes and do not have a knot to hang on to.
Monica is out. John is out.
