Episode Report Card Sara M: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Three Legs Gone
By Sara M | Season 21 | Episode 6 | Aired on 10.20.2010
La Flor arrives at Tribal Council. Probst addresses Marty first, saying it's obvious that he, Jill, and Jane don't fit in with the young people. Shut your mouth, Probst. Jane very much does fit in with the young people. Marty says that's true, but hopefully as long as he can help them win and work around camp, he'll get to stick around. Probst asks Sash why they would want to keep Marty, and Sash replies that Marty has an immunity idol, and told them all about it as soon as he arrived at his new home. Marty says he just wanted to get off on the right foot with his new tribe and show them that he's a straightforward and honest player. Probst asks Brenda if those are the only reasons why Marty showed the idol. Brenda says she's sure he did it as a warning to the young people not to try to vote him out, and he's just trying to make it look "more noble" than it actually is. Probst asks Marty if the decision to play the idol tonight is a difficult one, and Marty says it is, and obviously it's been on his mind a lot today. He's not sure if he can trust anyone and doesn't want to go home tonight because he didn't play his idol.
Probst asks Kelly B. how much you can trust people in this game. Kelly B. says people will lie if they have to, so you have to go with your gut instinct. That said, she says she's feeling "pretty comfortable" tonight. Zzzzz. Probst asks Jane which side of the majority alliance she's on, and Jane cleverly says her tribemates probably consider her one of the "weaker" people, strength-wise. She's just going to keep pretending that she's on the outs with Jill and Marty. But when Probst asks Brenda if Jane should be worried tonight, Brenda says that Jane doesn't need to worry about her and her fellow young people -- she should worry about Marty and Jill. Probst is absolutely delighted at this comment, and looks to Marty, who says Brenda's comment doesn't make any sense just based on numbers - he and Jill are only two people, so they can't vote anyone out. But, he says, "that's really sweet of you to put that on me." Brenda says Marty was the one who told her he wanted to vote Jane out tonight, which isn't true and I'm not really sure why Brenda is trying to stir shit up like this when she doesn't really need to. All it's going to do is possibly turn Jane against her if Marty can make a convincing enough argument that Brenda and Sash wanted to vote for her. "La Flor made the call. I didn't make that call," Marty says. He was just going along with what the majority told him to. "I never offered up Jane," he concludes.
