abi's pity party continues back at camp. "you guys were mean to me, wah." "i had no idea you guys felt that way towards me, wah." really? so you're not a mean person, you're just totally clueless?
only malcolm's heart is big enough to have sympathy for abi. AND she gets a hug out of it. jealous!
there are individual envelopes in tree mail. abi thinks it's letters from home but i see money! that only means...survivor auction time!
item #1: pancakes, bacon, OJ, syrup. for $500, goes to denise. as skupin notes, this meal would cost $1.99 at the local diner. skupin must be from a non-metropolitan area because i can't get all that around here for $1.99. maybe $5.99.
item #2: before we can even see what this item is, skupin bids $500 - this comes moments after his $1.99 comment. for wine, cheese, crackers and some dried fruit, i think? this amuses malcolm immensely. i think denise got the better deal here considering that skupin doesn't drink. AND he can't share his food with anyone so the wine goes to waste.
item #3: iced coffee and donuts, goes to malcolm for $200.
item #4: mystery tent, goes to penner, uncontested for $100. he gets fried chicken (!!!) and french fries. awesome, now i want some!
not a peep out of lisa, abi or carter yet. hmmm.
item #5: mystery item, goes to carter for $200. he gets a fully loaded baked potato BUT there's a tweest! he can trade his potato for a bag of race and a bag of beans for the tribe. will he do it? yes he does! at least he recognizes that the rice and beans at camp will go a lot further than that baked potato right now. they should've made it a tougher trade like a whole rack of ribs, an ice cream sundae and a massage...OR rice and beans for the tribe.
item #6: another mystery tent, goes to lisa for $320...just outside of carter's budget since he only has $300 left. she gets a "nice gigantic sandwich", chips and soda. is there a rule that they have to sample the food at the podium before taking it back to the bench. is this survivor's version of the money shot?

| "the sandwich was THIS big!" |
item #7: game advantage, goes to abi for $500 without hesitation. smart move on her part but hopefully she lacks the skills to take full advantage of it.
item # 8: mystery item, sold to carter for $200. why have malcolm and penner stopped bidding? he gets veal shanks with another tweest. the whole tribe gets 60 seconds to tear into those veal shanks. after the rice and beans, they really should let carter get at least a full 30 seconds to himself. or at least one shank while the rest of them share the other shanks, right? fair is fair. i mean lisa is still eating her huge sandwich!
back at camp the auction euphoria is quickly replaced with abi demanding an apology for how she was treated - in her own words, she deserves an apology because:
"for destroying me at tribal council yesterday" like you did to RC?
"i was demoralized." like you did to lisa?
"i was pointed fingers at." like you did to RC?
"i was ganged up on." like you did to RC?
"i left there crying, genuinely crying." you know, as opposed to fake crying.
penner tries to explain how he didn't do anything wrong while the rest of tribe try to ignore the conversation so they don't have to answer any of her accusations.

abi's advantage bought her an automatic pass to the final round in the immunity challenge. but her plan is to create a "fantasy" HII to trick people into not voting for her. ok well news flash, a HII will only make them vote for you to flush it out. so she plants the seed with malcolm but it doesn't seem like he buys it.
malcolm likens abi to a girlfriend who doesn't get the hint that you don't want her around anymore - hahahahaha! did i mention that i heart malcolm? never?
#immunitychallenge - holy cow, this one looks exhausting. even with the advantage of not having to compete in the first two legs, i don't think abi can pull it off. part 1 - make your way along a rope that is threaded around a hitching rail, first 5 move to the next round. part 2 - follow the rope through a series of bamboo poles, first 2 (plus abi) move to the next round. part 3 - navigate a multi-level obstacle course. and there's a tweest! at the beginning of each round there is a trivia question and an incorrect response gets you 5% of your body weight for you to carry through the challenge. THEN we get to the moment where abi gets to flex her acting muscles. oh my this is comical! she tries to act like there are 2 parts to her advantage (when has that ever happened??) and then chooses not to read the second, fake, secret part. does anyone buy this? i think most of the survivors just look confused. except for malcolm who's trying hard not to die laughing.
Q1: the philippines consists of how many islands? A. more than 5000. lisa and denise are wrong and get weight. moving on are denise, carter, malcolm, skupin and penner.
Q2: we don't get to hear what it is but denise, carter and skupin get it wrong so more weight for them. skupin and malcolm get stuck in the poles early on. penner and carter move on to the next round.
Q3: carter gets the Q wrong again and adds weight. knot untying, really?? couldn't they have attached her to a rope and make her climb up and around stuff?? ugh. and with that extremely taxing challenge, abi wins immunity. somebody shoot me. i hate that this means that she gets to stick around but i love that it'll make for a GREAT scramble!
new target is penner...and lisa is waffling. she's too attached to penner. it's dangerous to have lisa in your alliance. and apparently penner does not reciprocate since he says that lisa has lost her mind again, and calls her ridiculous. it's nice to see that the respect goes both ways. penner decides to target denise as the alterna-vote and tries to get skupin to vote with him, carter and abi.
tribal council:
- abi winks at her "friends" pete and artis. artis has already declared that he was never in an alliance with abi. i wonder if abi knows that?
- immunity has brought back bitchy abi. as denise tries to explain the group attack on abi at the last tribal, abi just dismisses her, leading artis to shake his head. some people just aren't capable of learning.
- penner is raring to go, throwing both malcolm and denise under the bus, arguing that they cannot be beaten at the end.
- malcolm points out that penner didn't trust lisa enough to align with her earlier. whoops.
- probst asks lisa about a difficult situation in her life that she can't talk about because it's too personal. WHAT IS IT?? dying to know. and did jeff know about it when he asked?
- carter hasn't made a peep nor has jeff directed any questions towards him.
- abi sticks her tongue out at denise and scowls as she goes up to vote.
- abi can't fold paper. the next immunity challenge should be based on that - origami for your lives.
- penner yells "denise" over his shoulder while voting - freakin' hilarious! but if malcolm wanted to use his HII to save someone, that's good information to have!
- 3 votes denise, 4 votes penner and penner becomes the 5th member of the jury. abi asks for a hug but she is DE-nied. "yeah no, i'm not going to hug anybody else." more hilarity from penner!
- "keep your sunny side up...and suck eggs!" penner's parting words as he whistles his way down the path. with his theatrics, one of the better survivor exits this season - right after dawson's mugging down of jeff probst.

| the bitch is back! |
skupin drew a big heart with an arrow through it for penner. i thought he was taking so long to vote because he was unsure. nope, he was just trying to figure out where to start his artwork. and penner wrote down "denies" on his card - intentional or dyslexia?
next week is the loved ones visit. malcolm's brother miles looks like his polar opposite - dark hair, pale, not...fit, and as it seems, not as gifted with the spoken word. i wonder what he could say that would get malcolm into trouble? also i wonder if any of the other loved ones manage to recognize lisa and blow her cover?
