Episode Report Card Sara M: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Gone Fishin'

Things seem a bit better over at La Flor. NaOnka interviews that she slept so well last night that she didn't even hear the rain. I wonder if that was in response to the producers asking her "after knocking over the woman with one leg, how well did you sleep last night?" NaOnka then recaps that Brenda is now in possession of the immunity idol clue she fought so hard to get, and seems to have figured it out. Brenda tries to tell NaOnka her theory, but it's difficult when Alina is basically sitting there staring at them, perhaps hoping to read their lips and find out where the idol is. I seem to have underestimated Brenda, who did manage to figure out the idol clue after all and says they are to dig eight yards west of treemail. She and NaOnka set off to look.
They have a bit of trouble figuring out which direction west is, but soon find the idol. Brenda backs away to let NaOnka reach in and grab it, and NaOnka interviews that the idol "is mine. It's mine, it's mine. It doesn't belong to anyone else. Brenda helped me find it, but ultimately I figured it out and it's mine. The hidden immunity idol is in my sock." Actually, NaOnka, that's Jud's sock. But I guess she isn't going to remember that if she can't remember that Brenda figured out the entire idol clue and pointed to where NaOnka should dig for it. NaOnka interviews that she's just now realizing that she could win a million dollars in this game (too bad she didn't realize that before she alienated like half the potential jury) and "no one" is going to stand in her way to get it. Not even someone who only has one leg to stand on. "One shove and she's outta there," NaOnka says. At some point, will there be an interview where NaOnka explains why she hates amputees so much? Or are we just supposed to guess?
Meanwhile, Alina and Kelly B.'s lives suck. "It's lonely out here," Kelly B. says. Especially since Ben and Jud are apparently now firmly in the other alliance and/or don't exist. Alina says the "hardest part" of it is pretending that she likes NaOnka. Why does she bother? NaOnka certainly isn't spending any effort pretending that she likes anyone. Alina interviews that she really likes Kelly B. now, so the way NaOnka treats her makes her furious. "She tackled a girl with one leg, like, how sick is that?" asks the girl who once said that she didn't want to ally with Kelly B. because she has one leg. They decide to look for the idol again, since that's their only hope right now and Alina knows that Brenda and NaOnka are looking for it as well. She and Kelly B. follow Brenda and NaOnka's earlier footsteps, and then NaOnka follows them. She says she knows they won't find the idol because she already has it, so she's going to try to "scare" them. Is she trying to justify her unnecessary bullying as gameplay now? Maybe when she realized that she was playing for a million dollars, she also realized that the cameras are there because millions of people are watching and judging her? I doubt it, though.
