Well, we have a clear majority for the Reward Challenge and for the person who finds the Hidden Immunity Idol. However, we have a tie between James and Tom as to which Hero would injure his knee. I'll resolve that right here:The Villains come back from Tribal Council and Sandra's really worried. Since Courtney was voted out for being so weak, she might well go next. She doesn't want that to happen, so she's going to get at least some of the group to look for the Hidden Immunity Idol tomorrow.
Parvati is relieved that she didn't get any votes. She wants to find the HII and save herself as well. Randy and Candice are relieved that they each only got one vote, but they're nervous enough that they'll be looking for the HII as well.
The next morning, Coach is leading a a stretching/martial arts class – “Dragonslayer Qi” – on the beach. Jerri, Boston Rob and Tyson are with him. Meanwhile Candice, Parvati, Randy and Sandra are all looking for the HII. In the end, Sandra finds it and hides it. She plans on using it if she has to, in order to save herself.
Back at the Heroes tribe the two alliances are conversing over which person they should target if they next go to Tribal Council. J.T. mistrusts Cirie and wants to get rid of her but James would rather get rid of Stephenie or Tom. Cirie, Colby, Danielle, Stephenie and Tom know that they can't get rid of Amanda so they're thinking they should get rid of whichever one of the guys is weaker -- James or J.T. Cirie tells us in confessional that J.T. might be out to get her. But she isn't sure if he or James is weaker. She plans to wait and see.
And with that, it's time for the Reward Challenge! None of the Heroes are too surprised to see Courtney gone. Jeff explains the challenge: Three members of each tribe will battle to retrieve balls in a pit. They will then toss those balls to tribemates on a platform, who will try to shoot the balls into a basket. First tribe to score two points wins reward – which is a trip to a watering hole with a feast of all kinds of chocolate things to eat or drink.
The Villains have to sit out two women so they sit out Parvati and Sandra. The Heroes also have to sit out two women so they choose to sit out Cirie and Danielle. Candice, Randy and Tyson are up against Stephenie, James and Tom in the pit; while Jerri, Coach and Boston Rob are up against Amanda, Colby and J.T. on the platforms. The Heroes in the pit manage to get the balls to their shooters but Amanda and Colby miss. When J.T. misses, the battle for the rebound leave James and Tom on the ground with twisted knees. But while Tom's able to get up, James can't do so. Jeff has to halt the challenge and call in Medical to examine both of the guys.
Luckily for Tom, the knee's just twisted a little. He can walk on it, but it hurts. James isn't so lucky. He either sprained a muscle or pulled a ligament. He's out of the challenge. And Jeff now says that the Heroes have to play with five people, not six, which means neither Cirie nor Danielle can replace James! This enables the Villains to get in a shot, courtesy of Boston Rob.
They switch and now there's two Heroes on the platform versus three Villains. Tom tries to get a shot in but barely misses. Stephenie gets in a shot, however, and it's all tied up. But the third round, the Villains take the early lead and it's up to Boston Rob again:
Jeff: Villains win Reward! (The Villains cheer while the Heroes all look downcast and worried.) Villains, you can head over to the chocolate feast. James, you're going to need to be looked over by Medical. The rest of you Heroes, you'll just have to return to camp.
In a confessional, Tom says that he's relieved he didn't pull a ligament or sprain a muscle in his leg. He's now thinking about giving James a mercy boot if he returns to the tribe.
*****************************************************************
Okay, so the Villains have won Reward and although Tom and James both got injured, Tom had a less severe injury. James will be able to return, however, since he did so in the show itself. I now want you to decide which tribe will win Immunity. I'll look over the results either tonight or tomorrow and the tribe with the most votes will win Immunity.
