Probst asks Sydney if conversations often end up revolving around her looks. Sydney says they do, because she's a model. Life is going to suck for Sydney when she gets a little older and those looks fade. She says she's been stereotyped as the blonde girl who has nothing to say and sits around looking pretty. "But -- " she adds, then forgets what she's trying to say and stops talking and sits around looking pretty instead. Stereotypes are so untrue, you guys. Probst asks Stephen if Sydney's good looks and desire to use them to her advantage could work against her. Stephen says they could if people undervalue Sydney. I think people are overvaluing Sydney. I also think Sandy has no chance tonight, because the editing is going so far to convince us that Sydney is out. That, and the fact that Sandy talked about the beans, and the beans are cursed. Probst asks Sandy how Jalapeño will change after this vote, and Sandy says some people could be upset if the vote goes a certain way. She winks at Probst, who decides it's time to vote before she starts going on about what a sex kitten she is.
Sydney votes for Sandy, saying "it's just your time to go" as she strikes a pose. Sandy votes for Sydney. That's all we get to see. Probst returns with the urn and asks if anyone wants to play her idol. Taj stays put. First vote is for Sandy. Second vote is for Sydney, much to her eyebrow-raise. Then there's a vote for Joe out of nowhere. Ooooh, could Joe be leaving tonight? I'd be fine with that. But no -- the rest of the votes go to Sandy, who lets out a sad "oh boy." Gross. Jalapeño sucks tonight. Sandy is gracious in her good-bye speech, saying she's proud of herself for lasting so long after such a bad start. Also, Taj voted for Joe. What's that about? Maybe she's still mad at him for wimping out of the reward challenge and sticking her with all the pressure to win it for the tribe?
