| Crawl space, anyone? |
Post-tribal, Chrissy likes her spot since she's closer to the other two guys than they are to eachother. Cole on Yawa is talking about how he likes his group of 5, unaware that Ben has him in his sights. Levu are running on empty, really hoping for some food soon. The tribes see Jeff and he makes note of how depleted they seem...so he grants their wishes and announces not just the merge, but potentially the biggest merge feast of all time.
After the extended Outback ad, everyone sits down at the steakhouse and Joe starts ordering everything, which pisses off Chrissy. He also reveals he played an idol, leading Chrissy to wonder whether he might've found the other idol too. Ben and Chrissy reconnect over the meal, but Ben is uncomfortable with how obvious she's making it. "You're my number one" she tells him...with Ryan right behind her, barely out of earshot.

| Raise a glass, blindsides are back on the menu! |
Cole is looking for an advantage back at camp. It's in the nails, but he misses it completely. Devon and Ryan reconnect and immediately start organizing for the Heroes and Hustlers to come together. Lauren however has different plans and wants to stick with Mike, so gives him the heads up that Healers are being targeted. Ben is annoyed with Cole for eating cinnamon sticks, which Jessica has to tell him to cut out. When Ben tries to get Mike to vote for Cole, he seems reluctant and wants Yawa to stay together.

| Sweat, baby, sweat |
The immunity challenge is to keep a ball spinning in a circle. Ryan is out immediately, and Mike and Jessica follow. When they start moving down the platform, it takes out Ben, JP, Devon and Lauren in quick succession. Next is Joe, then Cole and Chrissy. We have an Ashley vs Desi showdown now, as Chrissy does some math to calculate how much longer they lasted than Ryan. Desi wins it when Ashley can't make the last transfer.

| She can do arithmetic, so she's a huge threat |
Ben and Cole have a heart-to-heart where he apologizes for his behaviour. Cole and Joe then sit down to commiserate about being the biggest targets, where Joe warns Cole that he shouldn't trust Ben. Mike tells his group he wants Chrissy out, for being too smart. The anti-Healers contingent is gunning for Cole, but Chrissy wants Jessica to be their back-up. Ben is conflicted about possibly voting out one of his closest allies, but Lauren really seems to want to side with the Healers.

| Joe's about dat life |
At tribal council, Mike makes a case for the rest of the players to think beyond the obvious first move of targeting the Healers. Joe calls BS on everyone saying that they're nervous, and Cole latches on that as an opportunity to tell the people he trusts that he's not worried. Joe doesn't argue that he's a threat but makes the argument that he's loyal. Mike however complains that Joe was targeting him earlier in the game and accusing him of having the idol. Joe then stirs things up further by pulling out the idol and not revealing what he's gonna do with it.
Everyone seems calm when casting their vote, no hint that Joe's idol has thrown a wrench in their plans. He decides to play it...for himself. Boring. Anyway, he didn't need it, and Jessica gets voted out instead. She leaves blindsided and heartbroken, not even on the jury.
Well damn, that's 2 episodes in a row now where the outcome has pretty much been my worst case scenario. I hope we don't have a Healer pagonging and someone is looking to mix it up soon.
STAR OF THE WEEK: BEN DRIEBERGEN
Ben had a lot of power this week and I think he used it wisely, navigating a tricky tightrope as well as he could. His alliance has control and doesn't seem to be letting go of it anytime soon.
