Night 21 at Camp Aiga and we find Russell worried that he is next to go. Forced by rumors to play his hidden immunity idol, he is now defenseless. Laura tells Uncle Cameraman she thinks Russell was stupid for playing his idol. But adds that he is the next target.
Day 22 and Natalie evolves from sweet Southern Belle to Sheena, Queen of the Jungle! While walking she comes across a large rodent. Hunger drives her to whack the rat with a tree branch. LOL! She apologizes to the rodent for killing it. Back at camp, Natalie shows off her kill. All are impressed. The rat is cooked and everyone gets a taste of protein.
While tree-mail announces a Reward Challenge, Russell is already think- ing that there may be another hidden idol stashed somewhere. Aiga meet up with Jeff who explains the RC for the day. They are randomly divided into two teams of 5 each, with Natalie odd-man(girl)-out. Four from each will race in pairs to fetch long poles with white-painted coconuts on them. Once all are gathered, assemble poles to form a four digit number with the coconuts. The fifth player, who is blindfolded, must use the numbers to unlock a combination and release a banner to win.
Yellow Team is Russell, Mick, Jaison, Brett and Laura (who is blindfolded). Purple has Shambo, Dave, Kelly, John and Monica (who is blindfolded). Natalie is given a choice of which team to support, the winning one gets a day at a waterfall with a picnic lunch which includes fresh brownies. Yellow gets an early lead and hangs on to get all of their poles first. But Purple is close behind and both teams try to solve the puzzle. They solve their number first, but Monica is slow. Yellow gives Laura their number and she quickly works the lock. But Monica finally gets hers open and Purple wins.
At the waterfall, the winners frolic in the water. Then they feast on fried chicken, fruit, donuts and brownies. In the basket of food they find a note, providing a clue to the location of another hidden idol. They agree it a secret within Galu. Talk of booting Russell is made but Shambo thinks he's no threat. He does poorly at challenges. The others ignore her.
Meanwhile, back at camp, Russell is actively searching for the idol he only guesses exists. It worked before, why not now? He looks at all of the usual places. By the tree-mail box. The water hole. He then starts looking around by a bamboo bridge. Sure enough, he finds it!!! Russell has done it again! Is this guy good or what???
Day 24 and Russell goes fishing with Shambo. He shows her the idol. She is amazed! They plot to boot Laura. The plan is to let Galu vote for him and then he'll play it. Shambo suggests booting Kelly as a back up should Laura win immunity again. She reasons that Monica is already disliked by the Boys where as Kelly is friendly with all.
It's time for the Immunity Challenge. In Round One, each will try to snag two bags with a grappling hook. The first three to get theirs will move on to the Final Round. Using a peg from one bag, insert into a peg board and release the next pegs until all are placed. Shambo is first to get one bag, followed by Mick, Kelly and Brett. Mick gets his second and will advance to final. Jaison, Laura and Russell get their first. Shambo is the second to get both of her bags. Russell snags his 2nd, but so does Laura. They race to reel in their lines. Laura beats him and advances. Shambo gets an early lead in Final Round, followed closely by Mick. But then Laura gets her pegs going and she quickly passes them both and wins immunity.
Back at camp, Shambo is unhappy that Laura won, but doesn't care. The back up plan is put into motion. Russell shows Jaison his new idol. Jaison is amazed. He tells Natalie and Mick about it. Russell joins them and unleashes his plan to blindside Kelly. Dave, Laura, Monica and John discuss booting Russell. Laura is worried he may have found the new idol. She suggests a split vote, just in case. They talk about Natalie just as Russell walks by. He's now worried that she may be the target. Russell would hate to waste another idol. Why not? He's finding them fast enough. LOL!
At Tribal Council, Jeff brings up the Erik blindside. With Erik on the Jury Bench, Dave and others from Galu talk about how Erik was weakening their position with his scheming. Natalie tells Jeff that Galu is treating the Foa Foa members nice. Jaison observes how tight they are. Mick and Russell are looking for signs of any cracks in their alliance. Dave says the Galu block is voting the most dangerous player off next.
It's time to vote, yet we are shown none. When all are finished, Jeff fetches the urn and asks if anyone wants to play an idol before he starts counting? Russell stands up and plays his latest acquisition. The Galu members are shocked! Jeff starts counting the votes. The first seven are for Russell and none count. He then reads off three for Kelly. There were four but why bother? Enough is enough. Kelly gets blindsided. Jeffs warns Galu that despite their efforts, the Foa Foa Four are still in The Game. He also announces that the idol will be back in play!
SPOILERS: It's a showdown between Laura and Russell. Both vie for control of the tribe. Laura and Dave follow Russell and Jaison on their idol hunt. Who will get it first?
