He and Lete have played pretty honest games, but everyone else has been in Machiavellian mode.

David still has everyone but fellowSurvivordeityParvati Shallowconvinced that hes just a regular guy from Australia.

Parv has gone full Black Widow.

In this treacherous jungle, no one can be trusted.

Two people had to go home this week, so everyone was scheming.

promised everyone the world, and everyone half-believed her.

Parv wondered if it was time to take out David.

So much for a happy family!

This weeks excursion, The Bankers Fire Pit, was a test of priorities.

Each player had to hold a bag of money above a burn pit.

The sacks were calibrated to weigh one-quarter of each players weight.

To claim a case, they had to burn their money.

Whoever secured the highest-value case won automatic immunity.

If two players dropped their bags for the same case, they split its value.

And with that, it was time to find out whos been skipping arm day.

Lete lost her grip first, after the 30-minute mark.

Then came the funniest flub this season ofDONDIhas seen so far.

Parvati, meanwhile, looked ready to eat her alive.

tried to smooth things over, she cut her off with a Girl, its too late its done.

Did any of us believe either of them would keep it?

It didnt take much convincing.

By letting David take the $2.75 million case the highest left Phillip would be the one givinghimsomething.

Also, heres the thing: Phillip probably thought he could hold on longer than he did.

in the bottom two with $1.5 million apiece.

And so, instead of a bottom two, we got a bottom three Phillip, plus C.K.

and Parvati, who tied for second lowest.

David had to pick who would go home and who would face the banker.

This is where things gotreallymessy.

tried to explain herself to David and Parv, who didnt want to hear any of it.

Naturally, though, the most interesting negotiation here was between David and Parv.

But would he have the stomach for a move like that?

Could he really betray her now?

Then again, what does betrayal mean here?

Still, did she want to face the banker when C.K.

is promising to cut Lete if she wins?

Guess that fake alliance is over now!

In the end, David did the predictable thing and took out Phillip.

If that truly didnt occur to him, frankly, he deserved to lose.

As for who will play the banker?
