Meanwhile, Rupert realizes that he's not going to find the idol, but has an idea of a way to pretend that he did: he grabs a large rock and puts it in his pocket, thus creating an idol-shaped bulge. Now, how the hell did he think of that on his own? And know that no one else on the Villains already have found the idol so his deception wouldn't have worked? Did Sandra help him out here or did he actually demonstrate some intelligent thinking? He returns to camp, and Li'l Russell says something to him about the idol search. "Yeah," Rupert mutters with a sly knowing glance at the camera. Nice, Rupert. Li'l Russell totally falls for it, staring at Rupert's pocket before interviewing that he's an expert on hidden idols so he knows one when he sees it hidden in someone's pocket. And Rupert, he's absolutely sure, has an idol. No problem, Li'l Russell says; his alliance of six will simply split the votes between Rupert and Colby tonight. Much to Sandra's well-concealed delight, Li'l Russell tells her that he knows Rupert has the idol. "I see it in his pocket ... I know exactly how they look in a pocket," he says, and now his shorts are riding so low that Sandra must be able to see genitalia. We can't, because it's blurred, but that doesn't mean it isn't leaving me with permanent emotional scars. Sandra is so pleased with this development that she doesn't swear about it in her next interview, simply saying that she has "the freakin' immunity idol."
Jerri, Parvati, and Danielle discuss tonight's vote. Parvati says they'll split their votes three for Rupert and three for Colby. "Why?" Jerri asks, so out of it. Parvati patiently explains things to her, and then Jerri says she'd rather vote Candice out than Colby. "She will never see it coming," Jerri says. Well, no, she won't, because that wouldn't be a very smart move, to vote out an ally over an enemy with friends on the jury this close to the end. Even though that enemy is useless and boring and won't be making any moves anytime soon. Danielle interviews that it's a tough decision between Colby and Candice; she thinks Candice will stay loyal to them, but Colby isn't any kind of threat, mentally or physically. That's right: Candice is now considered to be more of an immunity threat than Colby.
Colby meets with Rupert and says three votes tonight are going to Rupert and three are going to either Colby or Candice. How does he know Candice is even being considered? Did Jerri tell him? Are they in secret cahoots? Their only hope is that three Villains vote for Candice along with Rupert and Colby, and those five votes send her home. They relish the thought of voting traitor Candice out.
