Night 11 at Hero Beach and Colby is glad Cirie got booted instead of him. He thinks it's now is the time to make a strategic move. JT tries to explain his vote. He tells them he did so for the team, Cirie just was not helping them. Rupert is upset about JT's flip.
Day 12 at Hero Beach and Amanda questions JT further about his vote. He swears to her that he would never betray his alliance with her, James and Rupert. She doesn't trust him. Over at Camp Villain, Coach is holding a class in meditation everyone, except Russell. The only thing on Russell's mind is finding the hidden immunity idol, which he finally does!
Reward Challenge time! Three from each tribe will battle to get three footballs in The Pit! Then toss the balls to three players on their platform, who will throw the balls towards a basket on the other side to score a point. First tribe to score two points wins a chocolate feast! Cake, candy, brownies, even chocolate milk! YUMMMMM! Jeff hands out samples of brownies to both tribes, but the Heroes refuse them. Colby says they are here to play! Jeff tells him they'll play when he's ready! LOL!
The even is a tough and raucous one. Russell checks James near a basket pole and James falls, twisting his left knee. People can hear it pop. Jeff halts the challenge and brings in medics. The doctor determines that he may have sprained or pulled a muscle. It's obvious he can no longer participate in the challenge, putting the Heroes at a disadvantage. They manage to score the first point, but the Villains tie. Rupert then sends Jerri into a pole face-first. She recovers and scores the winning point for the Villains. No chocolate for the Heroes.
Jeff sends them away, but has James stay behind so the doctor can give him a more thorough going over. She thinks he may have pulled a muscle very severely. James can barely walk. The doc wraps his left leg and uses splints to help support him. James has no intention of being pulled from The Game. But he will have to prove that he can walk with the splints on.
Meanwhile, the Villains enjoy an afternoon at a sunken grotto. Jerri and Parvati gorge themselves so much, they develop chocolate headaches. LOL! Everyone goes swimming except Russell and Parvati. The gang discusses how Russell may have the idol and needs to be booted next. Russell tells Parvati secretly that he does have it. She is thrilled! He lays out a plot to get Coach on their side to boot Rob. Russell meets up with Coach later and tells him about the idol. He promises to form an alliance and go all the way through The Merge. Coach is excited and thinks he's Sir Lancelot meeting King Arthur. On bended knee, Coach has King Russell knight him. Russell thinks it's nutty but plays along.
Back at Hero Beach, Amanda is worried about James, her closest ally. JT tells Tom and Rupert he doubts if James is coming back. No sooner said, Tom spots James limping their way. Amanda runs out to greet him. James tells everyone that the doctor really is not certain what is wrong until he gets an MRI. So he'll stay in The Game as long as possible, even though he can barely walk. Candice thinks it's obvious that he must go next.
Day 13 and it's time for the Immunity Challenge. One player will be a 'caller' and guide the rest who are blindfolded and paired by rope. They must fuddle their way and fetch 10 large puzzle pieces. Once all ten are secured, they may remove the blindfolds and ropes and assemble the giant puzzle cube. James and Jerri are callers.
There's a lot of confusion at first, and the pieces are very heavy and awkward to carry. But both tribes get rolling and make a close race of it. The Heroes start working on assembling first, but the Villains catch up fast and past them. Once again, the Villains prove their superior skills at puzzle solving and win their 4th of 5 Immunity Challenges.
Back at Hero Beach, they sulk over yet another defeat. Tom and Colby figure that James should be an easy target. Rupert, JT and Candice talk about who to boot. Rupert wants Tom gone, but Candice thinks James is too injured. JT is uncommitted. James hobbles over to make sure they are still on his side. Later, Rupert tells Amanda that Candice is weak and wants James gone. So the target shifts to her. Candice and JT talk more about booting James. Amanda is getting nervous again. JT and Candice then chat with Tom, who tells them that he and Colby are voting against James. Tom then lets Colby know what happened, so Colby talks with JT. But Colby figures JT is playing everybody now, so he is skeptical.
At Tribal Council, James tells all that his leg doesn't hurt, he just can not move as quickly for now. Rupert admires him and says that James still has plenty of fight left in him. James then comments on how Tom and Candice cost them the Immunity Challenge. Candice shoots back that James is talking nonsense. Both James and Amanda attack Tom on messing up the puzzle. Tom defends himself.
Jeff asks JT what he thinks? JT, in his best poker face, says he doesn't blame anyone for the loss. Tom voices his concerns about being booted tonight. He tells Jeff that James is obviously handicapped and is only worth keeping as a loyal vote to one faction. James disagrees and says he is still better at challenges than Tom.
It's time to vote. We see Tom vote for James and Amanda vote for Tom. Jeffs reads the ballots. Tom and Colby were the only ones to vote against James, the rest, including Candice, send Tom packing. Jeff comments that the tribe thinks James is still valuable, and they will soon be tested if that is true.
SPOILERS: No Survivor next week as March Madness begins. In two weeks, the big showdown between Rob and Russell may finally come to pass. Who will win?
