The Villains arrive at Tribal Council. Probst asks Jerri how Survivor is different now than when she first played it in Season Two. Jerri says that the survival element is played out, and people are more interested in playing the game and keeping a loyal alliance member in it than, say, someone who can't be counted on for a vote but can be counted on to provide food and firewood. Rob says that hidden immunity idols are new, too, and thus people who should have no chance to succeed in this game based on their overly-aggressive and obvious "playing" "style" get to stick around unfairly. Well, I said that last part. But it's true. Rob stays vague about who he thinks has the idol, but Sandra speaks right up and says everyone knows that Li'l Russell has it. Li'l Russell maintains that he doesn't have it, thus causing a variety of dubious expressions to appear on Sandra's face.
Probst asks Tyson if having the immunity idol is a good thing at this point in the game. Tyson says that when there are so many people left in the tribe, it can't be very beneficial. Which is a good point, since we all saw how Tom only managed to keep himself around only another three days when he used the idol. Probst asks Parvati how she feels about Tyson, just to stir things up. Parvati says Tyson is a threat for being "charming" and having connections with J.T. on the other tribe. So, basically, he should be voted out for the same exact reasons that Parvati should be? Good points, Parvati. Probst asks Courtney how the tribe seems to feel about Rob, and Courtney says he's "polarizing," and people either like him or hate him. "He's at the center of controversy a lot of times," she shrugs. And if he wasn't so good at the challenges and saving everyone in his alliance's asses from being voted out, he'd be a target. Probst claims that there's "a fair amount of uncertainty" going into the vote (which there totally isn't) and sends them off to do it.
Danielle votes for Tyson. Jerri votes for Parvati. Rob votes for Li'l Russell with a confident "welcome to the big leagues." Parvati votes for Tyson. Douche sticks with his first alliance and votes for Parvati, telling her how charming she is because he's totally in love with her. Courtney votes for Parvati. Sandra sticks to the plan and votes for Li'l Russell, sending him off with "you need to get in the ocean and wash your ass. I can't stand you and I can't wait for you to go home. Adios." Poor Sandra. Every time she plays this game, she gets stuck on a tribe with an annoying smelly fat man. Good thing she's so classy about it! We don't see how Tyson or Li'l Russell vote. Probst returns with the urn to much musical fanfare and asks if anyone wants to play his stupid game-ruining immunity idol. And then we go to commercial, because Li'l Russell is so amazing that he can force this show to break editing convention.
