In the aftermath of J.T.’s boot and Parvati playing like 27 immunity idols, the Heroes are depressed and Li’l Russell is angry that there was an immunity idol in the game that he didn’t have control over. While Rupert hopes to lure Sandra onto the Heroes’ side, Li’l Russell tries to win Candice over to the Villains. Candice is so happy to have something resembling an intelligent conversation that she seriously considers it. Colby, Amanda, and Danielle win a reward of a night at Robert Louis Stevenson’s house, sharing a bed and a bowl of popcorn while watching the classic film Treasure Island.
Amanda and Danielle end up wrestling over the latest hidden immunity idol clue until Colby, who has clearly checked out and just wants to watch the movie, tells Amanda to give it to Danielle. So she does, without so much as reading the damn thing first or making any kind of plan to follow the Villains to try to get the idol instead of one of them. Sigh. Danielle shares the clue with her alliance, and naturally, Li’l Russell winds up with his 3,532,673rd idol and no one else is the wiser. Until three seconds later, when he tells Candice to win her vote. Sandra, meanwhile, hates Li’l Russell and wants him gone, and so tries to mount a campaign with the Heroes. Which Candice then tells Li’l Russell all about because after being silent for the past 26 days, she can’t keep her mouth
shut. Li’l Russell confronts Sandra, the entire plan is blown to hell, and Sandra decides that the Heroes should vote for Parvarti just in case Li’l Russell has the idol. The Villains, on the other hand, want to vote Amanda out. It all comes down to whose side Candice is on, and in the end she apparently had enough of the Heroes and their utter refusal to play this game or even pretend they like her, and so she sides with the Villains. Li’l Russell plays the idol unnecessarily (he’ll just get another one next week, though, so who cares?), and Amanda’s torch is snuffed for the first time.
