Nick is ready to let the others have it after tribal, whilst Michele calls them all dingbats. Adam uses it as an opportunity to rope them in, and tells Michele his theory about the fleur de lis on Jeff's podium being an idol.

| Advantage deja vu |
Parvati leads a yoga session on the Edge when they get a clue that talks about history repeating itself. They head off to where some of the past advantages were, but Danni has a theory it might be hidden in the same spot as season 38. Sure enough, Parvati and Danni find the advantage, which is called the 50/50 coin...a coin you can flip to give you a chance of safety. They decide to offer it to Michele for 4 tokens, and let the rest of the players (sans Yul and Wendell) know, as she plans to get them some food.
The reward challenge is to grab and transport a net full of giant fish that will then double as puzzle pieces. Jeremy and Kim end up the captains, and Jeremy picks a team of Tyson/Adam/Tony/Nick against Kim's team of Sarah/Ben/Sophie/Michele. Kim's team get a lead on the carrying part. On the puzzle, it's Jeremy and Nick vs Michele and Sophie. Nick can't find the spot for his last piece..and the girls get the win. However Sarah decides she wants to give it up to Nick for his birthday.

| Trust the cookies |
Tony tells Sarah he thinks she made a bad move as it gives people an opening to talk about her. The crew eating takeout agree to open up their fortune cookies in pursuit of a clue. Michele receives her coin and is truly 50/50 on what to do. She takes advice from her fortune cookies which told her "when the purse is empty, the heart is full" and to take big risks...and goes for it. Oof, that is a lot of tokens for an advantage that could easily be useless.

| Everybody was kung fu fighting (well, just Ben actually) |
The immunity challenge is to balance on a platform in the water. Michele is first out, then we lose Denise before round 2. Tyson is next, and Jeremy falls comically too. Tony is out and that annoying song starts up again. Adam can't get on top and is out. Most of the others fall quickly this round, leaving it between Ben and Kim, where Kim gets the win.
The easy votes right now are Nick and Michele, so the majority propose a split. Nick decides to throw out Sophie's name, having nothing to lose. Adam suggests Sarah instead since she's too close to Ben, but Tyson now wants Adam out because of how quickly he got that switched. Sarah is mad when she learns her name is coming up, and Ben interrogates Adam about what he said, which he refuses to answer. All sorts of names are coming up...is it Adam, Nick, Sarah or Tyson? Nobody knows, but Adam is still planning on going for that idol.
 |
| Too many names |
At tribal council, Sarah details the chaos and calls it a solo game now. Nick says he's happy to fight, he hated the caginess. The whispering starts, as Adam and Ben argue. Adam senses he's the target and the deadly silence he receives as a result speaks volumes.
 |
| Worth a shot, right? |
After the votes are cast, Adam stands up to fiddle with what he thinks is an idol. He can't even get it out, but Jeff offers to let him play it anyway. You kinda get the sense Jeff is fucking with him and no, it's not an idol in the end. Adam is voted out, even though Nick picks up some votes. Adam laments his mistakes, and gives his token to Denise, even though he suspects she knew he was going.
Adam ended up being a surprisingly big character this season and I enjoyed the hot mess. Whilst he was wrong about the idol, he lost nothing for trying. And I'm willing to bet we'll probably have a real idol at tribal within the next few seasons.
STAR OF THE WEEK: PARVATI SHALLOW
I've never given it to an EoE player before, but I really do think she was the winner of the episode. She secured the deal of the century and is finally rich again. She's also in the main "alliance" on Extinction, which can't hurt.
