Okay, we have a majority so it's time for results:When the Heroes return to camp after Tribal Council, Sugar is relieved to know that she was spared this time. However, she's aware that she's not aligned with either side and she doesn't know which side she should join. Amanda confesses to us that she learned from J.T. that even if Sugar joined their group, he'd keep Amanda and James over her and that he was only voting against Rupert because he felt Rupert's injury would weaken the tribe more than Sugar's overall weakness and laziness. She hopes he's proved right.
In the Villains camp, Parvati is worried. She had been aligned with Candice and RussHell but RussHell is now gone and Candice can't be trusted. Nobody else will align with her -- but that doesn't mean she's not going to try. She tries to approach Sandra, pointing out that they're former winners and thus they should be aligned in case others decide to target them. Sandra tells us in confessional that Parvati may have a point, but even though they're both former winners Parvati is still more threatening than Sandra. She's going to wait and see on this one.
Next day, Amanda tries to convince Cirie and Danielle to join forces with her, James and J.T. and shift over from Colby, Tom and Stephenie. Both women say that they'll think about it and we see them discussing things. Cirie says that she might have considered joining with Amanda and James if J.T. wasn't aligned with them and if she didn't think he'd be out to get her as soon as possible.
Back at the Villains tribe, Candice is watching the situation. She tells us that Coach and Jerri are more than just allies, Randy's not aligned with anyone and that she's aligning herself with Courtney, Boston Rob, Sandra and Tyson to make them a group of five. The plan is to get rid of one of the unaligned people, then break up the couple of Coach and Jerri before taking out the stragglers.
We see Coach telling stories all about himself and then we hear Boston Rob doing a confessional. He's privately annoyed with Coach but Coach may be stronger than Jerri. But right now he's wondering who should be taken out first -- Parvati or Randy. The next day we see Coach trying to get Randy on board with voting out Parvati because he sees her as a lazy, weak player.
We then cut back to the Heroes tribe, where we see Sugar lying around as Cirie, Colby, Danielle, Stephenie and Tom deciding who should be the next to go: one of the people on the opposing alliance because they're on the opposing alliance or Sugar because she's lazy and weak. Tom reveals in confessional that part of him wants to vote out Amanda as she's the weakest person on the other alliance but he wants to keep the tribe strong and Sugar might drag them down.
And with that it's time for another combined Reward/Immunity Challenge! Jeff explains the challenge: It’s going to be a series of one-on-one battles, “sumo-style,” using a large, heavy bag to try to knock their opponent into the mud. They must keep both hands on the bag at all times. And they cannot use their legs as a weapon. The first tribe to score eight points wins. The winners will get Immunity and one item from home, along with coffee, sugar and a week's worth of rice.
Tom and Coach are the first ones up. They fight hard but Tom slips while trying to knock Coach off the platform and Coach uses the slip-up to knock Tom off into the mud. Next up are Parvati vs. Amanda. Parvati really battles hard and knocks Amanda into the mud. Heroes are down 2-0.
Next up are Stephenie vs. Jerri. The Heroes get on the board when Stephenie sends Jerri off into the mud. Then it's J.T. vs. Tyson. J.T. makes quick work of Tyson and it's tied, 2-2. Danielle is up next against Candice. They go back-and-forth before Candice gets the upper hand when Danielle slips on a rainy platform and knocks Danielle off.
Sugar and Courtney are up next and it's not even close -- Sugar is too weak to fend off Courtney and is knocked down into the mud. The Heroes are now down 4-2. But James is up next -- and he's against Boston Rob. James is stronger than Boston Rob and Boston Rob goes down. It's now 4-3 in favor of the Villains.
The Heroes tie it up again when Cirie sends Sandra down into the mud. Colby and Randy are up now. Colby tries to survive but the rain causes him to slip and Randy takes him off the platform and into the mud.
Now Tom goes up against Boston Rob. Boston Rob keeps low and forces Tom off the platform. The Villains are now ahead 6-4. Amanda goes up against Jerri. Jerri loses again, giving the Heroes a point. Stephenie ties it up again when she goes against Candice, who was really trying hard. But J.T. goes up against Coach -- and although J.T. knocks Coach off, he takes his hand off the bag while using his arm to make the move that knocks Coach off, so they have to start all over.
Coach's anger gives him the adrenaline he needs to knock off J.T., putting the Villains within one point of winning. But Cirie ties it when she goes against Courtney. So it's down to Sugar and Sandra. In the end, one of the weak girls sends the other one off into the mud -- again:
Jeff: Villains win Immunity! (The Villains win while the Heroes look really unhappy.) Villains, you have Immunity and you'll get items from home, sugar, coffee, and rice. Heroes, you have a date with me at Tribal Council and someone will be going home tonight.
The Heroes walk off, with James really mad. He tells us in confessional that Sugar lost the challenge for them and Sugar should go home.
****************************************************************
Well, the Villians have won Immunity and the Heroes will be going to Tribal Council. I want you to decide who'll be the third person voted out. You have until tomorrow morning to vote. At that time, I'll write the Tribal Council scene and announce the third person voted out.
And I'm going to start the voting by casting my vote for Sugar to go home. She's the weakest one and cost the Heroes the challenge -- and she's on the outside of all alliances.
