Episode Report Card Sara M: B+ | 4 USERS: B- YOU GRADE IT Titanic

20 minutes in, Probst has another tempting item: four donuts and a glass of iced coffee. Probst says if no one wants it, he'll give it to Sandra and Li'l Russell, who are very happy about this news. Colby decides to take it, because he is just horrible at challenges. Like, worse than Courtney. She would have stayed in that as long as she possibly could. He just doesn't give a shit, and hasn't for a while now. He enjoys his donuts, and at 35 minutes into the challenge, Candice whispers to Danielle, asking if they can count on Parvati to win this challenge for them to prevent Rupert from getting immunity. Probst then returns with another food item: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chips, candy, and two glasses of milk. Danielle, Jerri, and Candice immediately take themselves out of the game for it, leaving Parvati as their last hope to beat Rupert. Danielle's paint-dousing is particularly hilarious as the force of the falling paint pulls her bikini shorts down. "Your pants just came off!" Jerri tells her. "I hate you bitches," Parvati says.
One hour and ten minutes in, Sandra notices that Rupert is looking unstable on his perch. Sure enough, he wobbles, then lets out an "oh, shit!" as he falls off his perch and loses what was probably his only chance not to be voted out tonight. Parvati wins the challenge once again! She says she loves this challenge as Probst puts the necklace around her neck. But before Probst sends everyone away, he has to reveal his twist. He pulls a little scroll out of his pocket, and I think we all know what that means ... a clue to yet another hidden immunity idol! Our 476,293rd this season! He reads it out loud to everyone. It says the idol is hidden under a stone near a "burning bush" where two paths meet.
As soon as the contestants return to camp, they are off and running looking for the idol. Well, except for Colby, who is probably taking a nap, and Jerri, who has no idea what's going on anymore. I really think she's so hungry at this point that her body has started to digest her brain for food. Parvati and Danielle run along the beach for some reason, even though the clue clearly said the idol was hidden in the woods. Sandra, meanwhile, can't figure out what the clue means by "burning bush." She thinks she's looking for a bush that's on fire. "There's no bush on fire," Candice says, somehow resisting the urge to add "YOU MORON." I mean, I love Sandra and all, but that was dumb. Danielle asks Parvati what a "burning bush" could be, as she knows that if anyone is familiar with burning bushes, it's Parvati. "Just go to the doctor or a walk-in clinic and they'll give you antibiotics that'll clear things right up," Parvati shrugs. While Candice and Li'l Russell search in the vicinity of one red bush, Sandra decides to check around a second red bush sitting right to where two paths cross. Almost immediately, she finds the idol. She grabs it and calmly walks away. You guys have no idea how happy I am that Sandra has that idol and not Li'l Russell again. She walks off and pulls the idol out of her pocket to admire, but with Li'l Russell still close by, decides not to show it to the camera and talk about how awesome she is to have found it, like some idol-finding trolls often do. She sticks it in her pocket, but it creates too big of a bulge, so she hides it in some bushes (not red or burning ones) while saying she's going to keep this idol for herself because she's greedy like that. And proud of it.
