Episode Report Card Sara M: D | 2 USERS: A- YOU GRADE IT Last Dance With Merry Jane
By Sara M | Season 21 | Episode 14 | Aired on 12.15.2010
Chase finds a scroll and shows it to the group. Apparently, they're still giving out idol clues even though both idols are taken and have had nothing to do with this game yet. Chase admits that he has the other idol, which I don't know that we knew anyone else knew before. But I guess they did, as no one seems surprised. Holly says that she, Chase, and Sash have made a commitment to go to the Final Three together and not with Jane. "Mind-boggling," Charlie says about this very simple concept. With that, Connie opens the champagne and all six toast and drink. Oh, and use the Product Placement phone. I hate the Product Placement phone, but I love the Charlie's Angels-esque picture of Sash, Holly, and Chase it took. The sun sets, and it's time to say good-bye to husband and moms. Chase interviews from his awesome chair-shaped rock that the reward was great, but now he has to go back to camp and face Jud's wrath.
Chase, Sash, and Holly approach camp gingerly. They're hoping everyone is asleep, but no. Jud is most certainly awake. "Yo, Chase, what's up?" he asks; "how was it, buddy?" "It was great!" Chase says cluelessly. "That was a rhetorical question," Jud says; "cause I knew it was great." Here we go. Chase doesn't have much to say in response, possibly because he's still trying to figure out what "rhetorical" means, as Jud says his feelings were hurt and Chase has been on "four awesome rewards in a row." Jud shrugs and says he's "just upset." "If I was in your shoes, I'd be upset too," Chase says. Jud keeps going, saying that Holly gets to see her husband every day while he only sees his mom twice a year. And yet, Jud interviews that he's going to have to "move on" and there's no point in holding grudges or being mad at people out here, because it'll just come back to get you. Apparently what doesn't come back to get you is promising to take people on rewards and then not doing it. Jud sighs that his best bet right now is to win immunity. Really? He's not going to try anything with Dan and Jane? How boring.
With that, we go from Night 33 all the way to Day 36 and the immunity challenge. Probst takes the necklace back from Sash as Jud eyes it hungrily. Probst explains the challenge: contestants will be attached to a rope that has been wound around a bunch of rails. They must follow the rope to a station with shield with several symbols on it. They have to memorize the symbols on the shield, grab a bag of matching symbols, and go back to the start and recreate the shield. The first person to do it wins. Doesn't sound too hard, except for one thing: they will be blindfolded the entire time. YES! I love blindfold challenges. Too bad they're tied to that rope so we can't watch them wander around the field. Probst says go, and our blind contestants make their way to through the obstacle course. Chase, Jud, Holly, and Jane get off to a good start, while Sash drags behind and Dan seems to just be crawling along the starting line. Jud and Chase reach their shields first with Holly and Jane close behind. Sash makes it to his shield, while Dan is still crawling around.
