Anyway, Ben and Alina and Brenda and the other Kelly take their spots on the top of the platforms and we begin. Espada gets their chute lined up first, and Ben releases the first ball. He misses, while La Flor's roll connects and gives them the early lead. Ben tries to come back by giving NaOnka instructions on where to aim the chute, telling her to "CHEEEEP! Boom," while the other Kelly contributes to her tribe by saying the chute looks "super good." In the end, Espada's roll breaks a tile while La Flor's misses by quite a bit. Now there's dissension in the ranks at La Flor, as Jud and Jill disagree with Brenda's latest chute placement. She agrees to let them position it however they wish. Espada's next roll breaks another tile; La Flor's misses. Brenda takes this opportunity to tell everyone that she knew that wouldn't work and they should listen to her next time. The other Kelly repeats everything Brenda says. While Ben and Alina talk about big balls and Ben accidentally smacks one of them into Alina's face, Brenda tells her tribe that six to eight inches is not enough. Ben tells his tribe to "trust" that he knows where the chute should go, while Brenda and Jud argue again over chute placement. Espada gets another tile, and La Flor misses again. Ben quickly drops down a few levels and releases one of the smaller balls towards the closest tile, and the strategy pays off with a fourth broken tile. La Flor misses yet again, as they seem to be just keeping the chute in the same place and rolling the same balls from the same place and then wondering why they keep landing in the same spot.
Espada is in high spirits as they move the chute to break the fifth and final tile while La Flor is still yelling at each other. Jud tells the girls to talk things over and not let Brenda run everything. The other Kelly snaps at him that they are. Even though they aren't. Alina's roll misses the last tile by a hair. La Flor manages to break a second tile in the meantime, but Espada has plenty of time to line up their next shot, knowing that the chute is already lined up pretty much on target. Ben and Alina watch the ball roll down the chute confidently and it breaks the last tile. "I should be a pirate!" Ben says. Yes, because one thing pirates are known for is rolling balls down a chute to break tiles. La Flor sulks as Espada leaves triumphantly. During the slo-mo walk of shame, Jill says she's pretty sure that either she or Marty will be going home tonight, and since Marty has an immunity idol, it'll probably be her. I'll bet she wishes she hadn't basically given it to him now.
