Night 14 at Hero Beach finds Colby all alone. His only ally, Tom, was booted. Candice, whom they tried to sway, backed off and help vote off Tom. She wants to be accepted by the others. But, no dice. Amanda clearly does not trust Candice at all. Over at Camp Villain, Russell has a late night chat with Boston Rob. Russell tries to make peace, but Rob isn't buying it. He tells Russell that he and the rest are unhappy with Russell's search for the hidden immunity idol. They all want him gone.
Day 15 begins with a cryptic tree-mail message about not giving up. Both tribes arrive for a combo Reward/Immunity Challenge. But there is a twist! They'll be playing for Individual Immunity! One tribe at a time will run the obstacle course with the winners of both tribes getting the necklace. The two winners will then face off for which tribe wins a reward of hotdogs and soda pop for Tribal Council. Yes! Both tribes will face a TC vote! The winning tribe will get to stay and munch as they watch the other tribe's TC, up until the vote.
The course is a series of fences with ropes wrapped around each several times. Players will hook up to the ropes, then maneuver their way through the obstacles. First to reach their end wins. The Villains win the coin toss and let the Heroes go first. Amanda and Candice are out front with James and JT close. Colby gets tangled from the start. Candice wins for the Heroes. Rob, Russell and Tyson lead the Villains race. Sandra is in last place as Rob wins. He and Candice then face off for the hotdogs. It's no contest, Rob wins again!
Back at Camp V, Rob is stoked! He gathers HIS tribe together and plots to make Russell play his idol and boot Parvati off. The plan is to convince Russell he's the target and better bring his idol tonight. But Russell isn't stupid. You can say a lot about him, but idiocy is not one of his failings. He tells Parvati that he is going to trick them at their own game and give her the idol. They'll boot Tyson off, making Team Rob weaker. You gotta admit it, Russell is always three moves ahead of the rest! LOL!
Over at Hero Beach, Colby succumbs to the inevitable. He tells all that he knows he's going to be voted off. So he asks that they have a pleasant afternoon and not bicker in front of the Villains tonight. James is moved by Colby's maturity and has a heart felt talk with him. The others talk about Colby, too, and actually consider booting James instead. Amanda tries to stick up for James. But JT starts complaining about James' eating habits. The rules for proper banana etiquette are debated. LOL!
Naturally, Amanda runs to James and tells him all about what was discussed. He now feels he needs to prove himself worthy to keep around. So James challenges JT to a foot race on the beach. Rupert shouts "GO" and the two race each other. But James is too handi- capped by his injury. JT beats him trotting casually backwards! It's too awful to watch!
Back to Camp Villain, Rob suddenly realizes that Russell might give Parvati the idol. So he orders HIS team to split their votes, three on each. That way, whoever Russell and Parvati vote for, probably Tyson Rob assumes, one of them will still get the boot. The ploy may have merit except for one minor detail. Russell is sneaking about nearby and hears the whole scheme! So Russell hatches a counter-move! He tells Tyson that he has no intention of getting booted tonight, so he will go along with the rest and vote Parvati off. He'll even play the idol for himself just to get rid of it. Tyson likes the idea and decides to switch his planned vote against Russell to Parvati, just to make it look better. OH NO!!!
It's time for Tribal Council with the Villains. Jerri tells Jeff this season is way harder than the others. Rob says it's certainly more complicated due to the hidden idol lurking. Sandra calls out Russell has having it. Tyson says the idol can only protect you so much. Parvati throws gas on the fire, describing Tyson as a charmer who has many connections with different players. Sandra raises Parvati's friendships with some on the Heroes tribe. Jeff asks Courtney what she thinks of Rob? She answers that he's a polarizing character. You either like him or you don't!
It's time to vote. We see Parvati and Danielle vote for Tyson. Danielle? Hmmm? We see Rob and Sandra vote to boot Russell. We then see Coach and Courtney vote for Parvati. That leaves Russell's and Tyson's votes as mysteries. Jeff gathers the ballots and asks if anyone wants to play the idol? Russell stands and hands Jeff his idol. Jeff confirms that it is authentic. Russell then makes a short speech, directed at Coach, where he tells all that he is loyal to his allies. Russell then hands the idol to Parvati! All are shocked. But then they are even more shocked when Tyson is booted! Russell did vote for him and dummy Tyson wasted his vote on Parvati. Rob is stunned, but still hungry for some hotdogs!
The Villains move to the Jury Bench as the Heroes march in. Jeff allows the Villains to begin their feast. Rupert can't take his eyes off of the food. Jeff teases him about it. Rupert admits that the Villains are more heroic than they are right now. James tells Jeff about the 'Hero Olympics' and his loss to JT. Amanda is concerned about the results. Colby talks about his chat with James. James continues about how he is still committed to staying in The Game. He then brings up Banana-Gate, how others think he is eating too much. Colby admits that he, himself, has not performed very well thus far.
Jeff sends the Villains away before the vote. Rupert and Amanda want to have the leftovers! Jeff ignores them and tells the Heroes to vote. We see Colby and James trade votes. Jeff counts the ballots. It's 4 to 1 against James! He's shocked as Jeff snuffs out his torch. So much for his alliances. Oddly enough, the 6th vote was JT writing Amanda's name down! Oh-Oh!
SPOILERS: It's Snake vs. Mongoose time! The tension between Rob and Russell reaches the next level. These two are at the boiling point! We'll have to wait till Thursday night for the next chapter.
