Probst asks Russell how important challenges are in this game. Duh, he says they're very important. Yasmin agrees, saying she's very competitive and steps up in challenges to do her best and win. Probst asks her who could have "given more" in today's challenge, and Yasmin of course says Monica. Probst asks Monica how it feels to know that someone thinks she's the reason why they're here tonight. "It sucks," Monica says, adding that she thinks she did a fine job at the challenge although she admits that she had some trouble on the rope bridge. "But once I got past that I think I really came back to my normal self," she says. But ... there wasn't anything past that. It was just building a tower. So that's not exactly something to be proud of.
Probst asks Dave Ball if he's going to vote tonight based on camp life, challenges, or individual strategy. Dave Ball says he's playing for his entire team, because what's good for them is good for him. The other wonder twin says she's voting based on who helps out around camp, a.k.a. "I need a reason to vote Yasmin out because there's no way I'm getting rid of Monica I love her." With that, they vote. Shambo votes for Monica. Monica votes for Yasmin, and we get another shot of Yasmin's heels to remind us that people who wear high heels don't pull their weight around camp. Yasmin votes for Moinca. Laura votes for Yasmin.
Probst returns with the urn. Yasmin gets two votes and Laura looks smug. But then Monica gets two votes, and Laura is angry. But the rest of the votes are for Yasmin, and she's gone. Monica breathes a huge sigh of relief, as does, I think, Yasmin. She was not having a great time out there. We get yet another shot of her high heels on her way out. The editors either loved or hated that high heels comment. It's not exactly fair, though, since Yasmin in all likelihood didn't choose to wear those heels. The producers choose the outfits the contestants wear. Russell looks all sad and pissed off, but it turns out that he voted for Yasmin, too, so whatever. I'm sad to see Yasmin go myself, but that's only because I know she's headed to the Loser's Lodge with Ben, who will probably be horrible to her.
