Episode Report Card Sara M: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Erik and Ozzy, Sittin' In a Tree
By Sara M | Season 16 | Episode 7 | Aired on 03.18.2008
Over at Malakal, Amanda and Cirie report to Ozzy for puzzle failure apologies. As Ami joins the group, Ozzy tells them it's okay since none of them will be going home for it. Maybe that's why Eliza is so awesome at these things -- she knows the second her team loses an immunity challenge, they'll vote her out. Maybe Ozzy should make the same threat to Cirie and Amanda next time and light a fire under their asses. They ask which "Fan" to vote out. Of course, Ozzy says they "need" to keep Erik. Ami tells us she disagrees with this, as she can work "better" with Tracy than Erik and she knows that she's low on her alliance's totem pole. "Sometimes you have to pull the dirty cards to stay in the game," Ami smiles. Pull away, Ami.
Ami heads right for Tracy and tells her that Ozzy wants to vote her out and that it was his idea to send her to Exile Island. Tracy's like, "duh." Ami says the girls want to keep Tracy and get rid of Erik, so she has this rather brilliant plan to tell Amanda and Cirie to vote for Erik, Ozzy to vote for Tracy, and then Ami, Erik, and Tracy will vote for Ozzy. He'd never see it coming. The plan hinges on Erik voting out his most pwecious fwiend, so it's wather wisky. Ami, I hated you on Vanuatu, but if you can pull this off, I will have to bow down to your superiority.
Tracy approaches Erik and tells him she's voting for Ozzy and he should too, since he'll be the next to go after Tracy. For some reason, Erik thinks that they'll have to get Amanda and Cirie to vote Ozzy out as well for the plan to work. I guess you don't need to be good at math to be an ice cream scooper. I wonder how many people asked for a triple scoop sundae and were pleasantly surprised to get five scoops for no extra charge. Erik continues that if he voted Ozzy out with Tracy and it didn't work, he'd be toast. Well, you're toast anyway so why not?
A symbolic spider weaves its web as Tracy and Ami approach Amanda and Cirie. Tracy says she'd like to stay in the game and that when it comes down to it, would they rather go against Tracy or Erik? Ami goes along with the act and says Tracy's plan seems wise and she'll vote for Erik -- "as long as you two say that that's good." Yes, Ami, yes! Make Amanda and Cirie think they have the control. Amanda and Cirie speak privately. Cirie says they're apparently voting for Erik tonight. Amanda says that seems like the best decision. Cirie says she's worried that Ozzy has something planned with Ami, Erik, and Tracy. Amanda tells us that if she wanted Erik out tonight, he'd be gone. But she's still not sure if she can turn against Ozzy. Ami and Tracy meet with the ladies again, and Amanda laughs nervously while Cirie makes funny faces. Oh, it's not looking good for Tracy. Ami tells us she's not sure if she should try to take Ozzy out or just stick with her alliance even though she's at the bottom of it. "Tonight's decision is a very big decision. It could change the game in a serious way," Ami says. Or it could be completely predictable and change nothing. We'll see!
