Rupert: I'll tell you what, man, you've already proven yourself to be a disgusting, terrible human being to swear on your kids' life.
Li'l Russell: Well, you know what, Rupe? It is the game and you really fucked it up yourself.
Rupert: If you want to swear on your kids' life and call it the game, that's fine. I've played the game twice; people see I'm not that liar.
Li'l Russell: You think I care about how the fuck you are as a man? I don't give a shit about you or your family.
Rupert: I know, I don't think you give a damn about anybody but yourself. And your team should know that.
Li'l Russell: Rupert, I'm a Villain. Mumble mumble make your life hell. The great powerful Rupert, the good guy. The second coming of Christ, Rupert!
Rupert: You can say whatever you want. Because it doesn't really matter anymore.
Li'l Russell: You're such a dumbass, Rupert.
Oddly enough, I think they both had good points there. Li'l Russell interviews that he knows that Rupert is trying to get a rise out of him, so he'll be voting him out as soon as possible. So, uh, good plan there, Rupert.
Immunity challenge time! Probst "surprises" the contestants by telling them today's challenge is for immunity, not reward. It's not really a surprise, though, since Jerri went there with her immunity necklace, so someone must have told her to bring it, which they only do for immunity challenges. Probst takes the necklace back and explains the challenge. We've seen it a few times on this show before, most recently on Season 16, which was very entertaining. To make things a little more difficult this time around, the contestants have to stand barefoot on a small perch. I'll bet that's because Parvati lasted over six hours when she did this and Probst doesn't want to stand around and wait for that long. Also, Probst says, there will be "a twist" when the challenge is complete. So that's not really a "twist" so much as "something that will happen next." Whatever.
The contestants tether their arms to buckets of paint and we begin with a shot of Danielle's raised right arm and her exposed armpit hair. You'd think they could let the women wear long-sleeve shirts for this challenge just to spare both them and the viewers at home. Just one minute into the challenge, Probst walks out with a covered dish. Sandra immediately says she wants whatever's under there, as does Li'l Russell. Oh, I hope it's boiled bats just for that. Pathetic, you two. They step down, get covered in paint, and walk to the bench to claim their prize of cookies and a glass of milk.
