And now it's time for the dancing! Sugar is almost immediately pulled up to join them, which I wouldn't be thrilled about if I were her. That could cause indigestion. The rest of Fang is pulled up in short order, and Randy tells us that he thinks one of the dancers had a crush on him. "I haven't had a girl come onto me in about twenty years, but I think one of 'em kinda liked me," Randy says, giving the mail-order bride route some serious thought. Randy's all giddy, but I can't tell if it's because drinks were served with the food or he's that tickled at the thought of a woman paying attention to him. Randy says that he's a terrible dancer and he was sore and full of food, but he danced with his new lady friend anyway. And looked really creepy while doing it. Matty's dancing, too, and he looks like an idiot. But a happy idiot. Matty says he knows he'll be the next person voted out, but right now he's enjoying this break from the game. Why do I find myself liking Matty more and more?
The next morning, we head over to Kamp Kota, where Ken is trying to kayak. But his kayak gets stuck in some driftwood and/or weeds and he ends up paddling in circles. I think we're seeing why Fang lost all those challenges when Ken was on that tribe. He eventually figures out how to get free, and tells us that he's not an outdoorsy kind of guy, because videogames are not outdoors. With that, he catches three fish and returns to the camp, where Crystal and Susie are happy to see dinner. Adorable Ken tells us that with Bob gone, he's the only man at camp, and he's there with two "very beautiful" women. Full of confidence, Ken says if someone wants to take him out, he'll take them out first. "I know for a fact that I can win this game," he says. That's what Marcus thought, too.
Bob arrives at Exile (it took him all day and night to get there? Damn) and chooses the clue route, of couse. The map actually has the locations of all the clues on it. Is that new? I don't understand that map. Does it get more detailed every round? Bob tells us that he knows he needs to find the idol. He seems to have no trouble finding the clues, but when it comes time to find the idol, of course, he has trouble. He finds the area where it used to be and even the nail it was hanging on, but it doesn't register with him that nails don't normally grow out of trees and this is obviously the place where the idol used to be before Sugar got it. Duh, Bob. Instead, he looks and looks until he finally gives up, saying he's not sure if Sugar got it first or he just can't find it. He says he has to do something, so he sets about crafting a fake idol, because those always work out so well. Because there are beads lying around Exile "Island" for some reason, he's able to fashion something quite passable, using tree resin to glue them onto a skull-shaped rock. He even somehow gets some string and makes it into a necklace. It's pretty convincing, but where did he get all that craft stuff? I'm guessing he stole those beads from the Clue and Comfort station, which shouldn't be allowed. Bob wraps the fake idol up in the standard idol wrapping paper and says he's hoping this fake idol will fool someone somehow. Honestly, it's so convincing that they should either hire Bob to make these things next season or turn his fake idol into real immunity, like what happened to Pinocchio.
