An Emerging What?
An Emerging Plan - They really do call this episode "An Emerging Plan," which is very confusing, because what emerges is the complete lack of a plan, or at least the lack of an interesting plan. |

A Million Dollars' Worth Of Lip Venom
Reunion - Danni and her pouty, poochy lips celebrate victory over Steph and her ginormous hair. There is less bitterness than usual, as the group has failed to settle as thoroughly on a single villain as it has in the past. Without an overdose of vitriol, there's just nothing to see. |

Crocs, Cowboys, And City Slickers - Brian, Gary, and Amy are clearly outnumbered by the former Nakum, so it makes sense that, when their tribe loses, they'll go home, right? You'd think so, but don't be so sure. Blake's girlfriend has really big boobs, and believe it or not, that's relevant. |
