The show begins with the usual recap of the previous 36 days.  The focus is
on the struggles of Erinn with her own tribe, Timbira, and the rise of the
Japalao Three (J3).  Together the J3 + Erinn eliminated all of the other
Timbira tribe members.   We then shift to Night 36.  They compliment each
other for making it to the Final Four.  Stephen is concerned about JT sticking
to his promise and not casting a vote against Coach.  He begins to consider
who would be the one to take to the Final Two.

Day 37 and JT is very happy that the J3 overcame the odds and survived.
He and Erinn go for tree-mail.  Stephen and Taj discuss who should be
booted next?  JT is considered as a possible target.  The others return
to camp with tree mail and a plastic spider.

The Immunity Challenge is Giant Spider.  An obstacle course of eight 'rope
tubes' is shaped like a spider.  Players must race to get three bags of
puzzle pieces.  The puzzle is shaped like a web.  JT gets a big lead as he
plows through each tube.  He fetches his second bag before the others
return with their first.  He gets his third first and begins working on the
puzzle.  Stephen gets his three bags and starts working.  Taj, then Erinn
bring up the rear.  The puzzle is complex with many pieces.  Erinn makes
up a lot of time and almost catches JT, but he wins.  She is now worried
about being booted off.

Back at camp, Taj figures the J3 will be the F3.  But Erinn has other plans
and talks with JT about how Taj has more friends on The Jury.  The boys
chat amongst themselves about who should go.  They are undecided.

At Tribal Council, we see Coach still needs his homemade staff to walk.
Stephen talks about how they beat Timbira.  Erinn knows she's the likely
target tonight.  Taj thinks Erinn could get more votes from the Timbira
Jury members.  Stephen says he'll vote off who's best for him advancing.
JT says he trusts the J3.  Taj makes it clear she's voting for Erinn to go.
We see Taj and Erinn trade votes.  Jeff counts the ballots and it's 3-1
against Taj.  The boys are taking Erinn with them.

Night 37 and Erinn is very happy with the outcome of tonight's Tribal
Council.  A little too happy, as she talks and talks and talks.  The Lads
are irritated with her babbling.

Day 38 and Erinn tells Uncle Cameraman that she'll take Stephen to
the Final Two.  She thinks either of the guys will take her over each
other.  Stephen and Erinn talk about how one of them must win immunity.
JT still thinks Stephen and he are tight.  Tree-mail instructs them to make
the Memory Walk.  They are to gather idols from each Fallen Comrade
and then burn them ceremoniously before proceeding to the Immunity
Challenge.  There are the usual flashbacks and reflections from the past
players.

The Immunity Challenge is a new one, using a weird, spiral shaped track.
Players must drop balls in on top and then catch them from one of two
exits.  As time progresses, additional balls are added to increase difficulty.
In addition, each player has one hand tied behind their back!  Everyone
does well at first with only one ball.  Two balls and they are still good.
But shortly after a third ball is added, Erinn misses and is out.  Stephen
is starting to struggle, making a few good saves.  A fourth ball is added
and Stephen misses.  JT wins his third IC in a row!  Jeff tells him that he
alone will decide who is booted tonight.

Back at camp, Stephen is glad JT won.  He did not want to have to choose
between JT and Erinn.  Erinn tells JT that The Jury resents her.  She adds
that Stephen promised to take her to the finals.  JT ponders his choice.
Stephen joins him and JT admits that taking Erinn would be the smarter
play.  He tells Stephen what Erinn said about how Stephen would sellout
JT.  Stephen denies it, but conceded that taking Erinn does have some
merit.  JT is determined to win.

At Tribal Council, we see that Coach is not using his staff, so he must be
doing better.  Jeff tells JT he earned his way to the Finals.  Erinn makes
one last pitch for why she should be taken to the Finals.  She doubts that
The Jury would give her many votes.  Stephen declares that JT and he
have been "parters in crime" since Day 3.  They've done everything
together (except boot Coach, LOL!).  JT says that taking Erinn would
make it an easy win.  That taking Stephen would be risky.  Stephen tries to
defend himself, but only digs a deeper hole.  Is it deep enough?  JT
boots Erinn off.  Coach flashes JT a 'warrior power fist' in satisfaction.
