Episode Report Card Sara M: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Waterloo
By Sara M | Season 19 | Episode 15 | Aired on 12.20.2009
The five return to camp and Natalie says things suck because now they have to vote out someone in their alliance. And especially since she thinks she's the most likely to go tonight because she's the least likely person to beat Brett in the next immunity challenge. "I'm hangin' by a thread," she says. Not like she'll try to do anything about it, though. She talks to Li'l Russell, who promises that he'll keep her in the game and would tell her if she was going tonight. Natalie says she trusts him and always has. Li'l Russell interviews that he meant what he said -- he wants to bring Natalie to the end because "there's no way that she can beat me in votes." Also, he's confident that he'll be able to beat Brett in the next challenge. Just like he was confident he'd beat Brett in every challenge that Brett has beaten him in thus far.
Meanwhile, Jaison lies in the shelter and doesn't try to do anything to ensure that he isn't being voted out tonight. Brett is doing the same, but he has that luxury since he won immunity. Li'l Russell stops by. "Couple days left," Jaison says. Li'l Russell interviews that Jaison has "checked out" of this game and is the weakest link on their tribe right now. Even Natalie is stronger than Jaison, Li'l Russell claims. He thinks tonight's vote is between Mick and Jaison, neither of whom appear to be particularly interested in strategizing right now and thus are easy targets. Li'l Russell thinks that Jaison has no chance against him in front of a jury (which shows how much Li'l Russell underestimates people, because if there's one thing we know Jaison can do, it's present a convincing argument at Tribal Council), but also no chance of beating Brett in an immunity challenge. Mick might be able to beat Brett, but he might also beat Li'l Russell in jury votes.
Meanwhile, Li'l Russell tells Jaison that they're getting rid of Mick tonight and Jaison agrees before interviewing that he and Li'l Russell have been working together since Day 2 and they both trust each other implicitly, so he's confident that he and Li'l Russell will be two of the Final Three. Li'l Russell then talks to Mick and tells him Jaison is going tonight. Mick says he feels bad about it, but Natalie's head is in the game and Jaison's isn't, so it's an easy decision. Um, has anyone's head been in this game besides Li'l Russell's? Mick says he's been aligned with Li'l Russell since the beginning and it looks like they'll make it to the Final Three like they planned all along. Li'l Russell then interviews that Mick and Jaison are voting against each other, so the real decision of who goes home tonight is down to Li'l Russell and Natalie. And yes, Li'l Russell did say that the decision was his AND Natalie's to make -- not just his. And then they BOTH discuss it, basically doing a pros and cons list for both alliancemates that we've heard six times by now.
