With that, J.T. and Douche go off to fish. Douche says he's more of a fly fisherman himself, as there's an "art" to casting. More like he's seen A River Runs Through It too many times. He graciously admits to not being an "expert," however. Douche interviews that as soon as he saw J.T.'s cowboy boots, he took him for an open and honest good ol' boy. This somehow makes J.T. and Douche kindred spirits, as they love the outdoors and are both warriors. With that, Douche suggests that they talk about the game while they fish, and J.T. is more than happy to oblige, and opens by cleverly saying it looks to him like Brendan thinks he's in control of the entire game. I think someone's been getting some good advice from Stephen on how to use egos to drive a wedge. Douche tries to sound unconcerned when he asks J.T. who told him that, and J.T. immediately says Taj. He then says he's almost positive that Brendan has the idol, while his open, honest face that Douche described says he has no idea if Taj has it, "if she does, there's two idols." Douche falls for all of it, and decides that now is a good time to give everything away. First, he tells J.T. that he has sworn he will not lie in this game, and hopes J.T. will not lie to him. Hee hee hee. J.T. interviews that he saw cracks in Tempura right away and planned to exploit them. "It's hard to keep six people from different walks of life to stick together when they hate each other. So I'm here to make sure everybody hates each other," J.T. interviews. I still think he got all of that from Stephen. With that, J.T. proposes blind-siding Brendan to get the idol out of the game. Douche interviews that he always thought Brendan was "a little bit squirrelly," which is totally not true since he ran up to Brendan like ten minutes into the game and tried to form a strong people alliance. Now that Douche knows that Brendan lied to him about having the idol, it's war.
It's also nighttime, and Forza better watch out because the moon is heading straight for their camp! Or maybe the cameras just need to back up off the moon. The closer you get, the less flattering the shot is. Douche and Tyson go off to talk in the moonlight, and Douche tells him that he loves and trusts J.T. with all his heart, and he said that Brendan has the idol. Tyson is pretty sure this is true. Various shots of cockroaches are seen as Douche proposes an alliance with Stephen and J.T. and Tyson can't stop sucking on his finger, which is probably all dirty and stuff. Tyson thinks an alliance like that would be "deadly" (in a good way, I'm guessing). Douche whisper-interviews that the first rule of war is to cut off the dragon's head, and that dragon is Brendan. Okay, what war is that? The war in World of Warcraft? Because dragons aren't actually real. Nevertheless, Douche deems his new plan "awesome." And then one last shot of a cockroach, just because the editors hate Douche that much.
