Heres the thing about Alexis Lete: Shell always let you know where you stand.

The groundwork for this coup began last week when Dicksonstarted cozying upto Lete.

So he picked Lete.

So much for maternal instincts!

If I had some letter beads on me right now, Id make one that spells Y-U-C-K. Whoever carried the heaviest case would win automatic safety from elimination and the Banker.

Players could also choose one of two lighter red cases.

Because Dickson wound up in the bottom and at risk last week, he got to go first.

Immediately, he grabbed a red case a bold move for someone who frequently underwhelms during physical challenges.

This did nothing to score Dickson points with the woman he just asked to be his island girlfriend.

In fact, it all but sealed his fate.

(Apparently, the key is to lie on your stomach and swim across.)

Lets just pause here for one note: Itsinterestingthat David let Dickson sink like a rock for two minutes.

Once again, this reveals his strategic prowess.

He didnt want to show anyone how to succeed in this challenge until he did it himself.

Would he have extended the courtesy to Parv if the order had been different?

Still, she somehow made it across embarrassing Dickson in the process.

So this round was a double win!

In a fascinating move, C.K.

wound up picking Lete to go next, despite theirongoing beef.

After watching C.K.s painful fall, Lete dove straight into the mud and swam across.

Early on in the game, people seemed more gung-ho to face the Banker.

These days, no one ever wants to do it.

For some reason, David respected this.

That left Lete and his son.

And this is where things got really interesting.

Obviously, David wanted to put Lete up.

But she really, really,reallydid not want to play, and Dickson actually volunteered.

Still, Dickson knew better than anyone that David would refuse to put him at risk.

Heres what I dont understand: Why on earth did David think he could convince Lete to vote C.K.

Even with all the bullshit between them, sending C.K.

home would make absolutely no sense for Letes game.

yo make it so!

Weve been waiting for weeks!

Weaponized friendship bracelets should be an automatic disqualifier anyway!

Sure enough, she made a good deal.

And so ends Dicksons annoying reign.

Somewhere far away, you just know his biggest hater, former player Seychelle, was cackling.

will all need to bring their A game if they want even a shot at going to the finale.

Lets hope they form a strong alliance of their own.
