The villagers start the capoeira portion of the feast, and open playing musical instruments that J.T. thinks sound like banjos. Of course. Then there's the dancing, which kind of looks like the "Beat It" video. Erinn explains that capoeira is a form of martial arts where no physical contact is ever made. Basically, it's what Douche does every morning, but faster and more impressive. With that, the contestants are pulled up to try it themselves, only for Debbie to outshine everyone with a backflip. Shit. If my middle school principal could do a backflip, I would have respected him so much more. Meanwhile, Tyson can't even do a cartwheel. Erinn regrets all the post-binge movement immediately, saying that when she sat down after dancing she realized that she overdid things. Cut to Erinn barfing all over the village and her own feet. She compares herself to the kid at the birthday party who eats way too much pizza and cake, plays in the ballpit, and then throws up and wonders why. A random chicken runs past her and judges. Erinn just looks up at the camera, breaking the fourth wall perfectly.
Stephen goes to Exile and hopes a clue to the new immunity idol will be there waiting for him. Instead, he gets Clue #7: "if you want salvation and to be superior, inspect the huge cranium in its posterior." Huge cranium? Don't they mean crater? The fuck? Anyway, it means no new idol for Stephen, who says hanging out in the sand is much better than some stupid feast. It's better than being back at camp with Douche, that's for sure. With that, Stephen tans.
Day 26 at Forza. I guess Taj, Sierra, and Douche went back to camp and didn't talk about anything important whatsoever, as the winning group is back at camp and Sierra is trying to get something going with Debbie. Debbie says that if her alliance had "messed up" like Sierra's did, then she'd figure that she was going to get what was coming to her. And since everyone else in the tribe has been "loyal," Debbie says, Sierra really should be the next to go. "You chose a wrong action," Debbie says, not realizing that voting Douche out is totally the correct action and the only thing Sierra did wrong is not try to vote him out weeks ago. Sierra says that if Debbie thinks her and Brendan trying to turn on her was a big deal, she's going to be pretty gobsmacked when it happens to her alliance later in the game. Debbie says maybe, but this is her alliance and she's playing this game just like Sierra is. So ... shittily? That sounds about right. Sierra whines that she's in limbo and her position is totally insecure. "That's the choice you made," Erinn says from her position five feet away. "This conversation is over," Sierra says, and it probably should have been over before it started. Come to Debbie with a solid reason why she should align with you. Don't just go and apologize and ask for a second chance. Sierra says she doesn't want things to get confrontational with Erinn "interjecting." Meanwhile, does Erinn realize that her "alliance" hates her and has from the beginning? Moron. Sierra cries and says she's being kicked in the face. Then she says that Debbie is keeping "other liars" in this game over Sierra. Erinn asks who the other liars are, and Sierra tells her she isn't talking to her. Then have the conversation when Erinn's not sitting three feet away, Helpless Harriet. Erinn says she wants to know who the liars are, and instead of giving other people away in an effort to save herself, Sierra just says Erinn is the last person she'd tell, so there goes that. With that, Erinn says Sierra's said the same thing over and over again, and everyone is sick of it. Since Sierra can't figure out how to add anything new to the conversation despite Erinn's open invitation to do so, she leaves, saying she's not going to eat dinner tonight. Dumbass -- if I were that certain I was going home, I'd eat as much as possible just to take more away from the people who were voting me out. Erinn interviews that Sierra "annoys [her] to death" and is "sooo dumb," but she also knows that everything Sierra is saying is absolutely, one hundred percent true. As soon as Sierra is out of the game, Erinn is planning to swoop in and change everything. Hooray! Erinn is cool again.
