On Vulu (green like a ripe coconut), theyre just being attacked by flies all the time.

Maybe they need to move their latrine?

Well, not really.

Charity herself has one gnarly foot, which we get to look at plenty.

Mitch laughs when people ask what his is because he just points out his speech impediment.

Kyle, meanwhile, says he has a gross callus, but everyone tells him its a wart.

Can he go over to Vulu beach and have surgeon Cedrek slice it off for him?

America may not have a functional health-care system, but at least people can get diagnosed onSurvivor.

Theyre determined to find their idol, and Kyle uses his nasty wart/callus to track down the beware advantage.

He gives the thing to Kamilla and tells her to figure it out.

She unscrambles the letters by scratching the combinations onto her thigh with a stick.

Where are they going to find sand on a desert island?

Anyway, she cracks it and now Kyle has an idol.

She cant figure it out, so she tells Joe, who tells Shouhin.

Then Star also tells Thomas and Bianca.

Now everyone knows about this idol except for Eva, but dont worry, Joe fills her in.

Then Star wont have an idol, she wont have a vote, and theyre all sitting pretty.

Though Shouhin doesnt like it, this is an excellent plan.

), but still.

Thomas is selected along with Mary from Vulu and Mitch from Civa.

They have to do a numbers puzzle in a certain amount of time.

If they dont, they lose their vote; if they do, they get an advantage.

Thomas and Mitch pull it off, and Mary goes back to camp convinced shes going home.

Hes right: What good is an advantage if everyone knows you have it?

Then its just a target on your back.

While doing the challenge, Thomas takes a pole to the face.

Because we are the same person, I know this is not the first time that happened, girl.

[Snaps in gay.]

Once again, Vulu loses because Cedrek cannot get across a balance beam.

Right after the challenge, Sai says it will be an easy vote and theyre getting rid of Mary.

Anyone who has ever watched this show knows that is exactlynotwhat they will do because we hear it first.

Then some other plans start to be concocted.

Does he not know how this game works?

There is no way that is going to happen.

This is how you work the numbers, people!

At tribal, its Mary vs. Sai because Mary thinks shes going home.

Sai tells everyone she is transparent and direct, both in the game and out of it.

Mary is essentially right, but Sai is shockingly straightforward at tribal.

She says shes not voting for Mary, which seems like a lie until the votes are read.

After all the votes are in, Sai plays her idol, which I dont understand at all.

Why would Sai play her idol if she knew all the votes were going to Kevin?

That would have been a good move, but that is not what happened.
