Episode Report Card Sara M: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Bob Is Full Of Craft
By Sara M | Season 17 | Episode 11 | Aired on 12.04.2008
Nobag return to camp. Corinne tells us once again about her and Bob's fake idol plan, which is actually just Bob's fake idol plan. Not Corinne's. Stop trying to steal his thunder, Corinne. Corinne and Bob sneak into the woods and go over the plan. They're going to say that Bob didn't tell anyone about his idol and was planning to use it tonight if he didn't win immunity. Since he did, he's going to give it to Corinne tonight. Corinne believes that if they think she has an idol and that it's legit, they won't vote her out. Instead, they'll take Matty out. She says it's a longshot, but it's all they have. Corinne credits her intelligence and Bob's craftiness for this plan. I credit Bob's intelligence and Bob's craftiness. "It would be so awesome if this worked," Corinne says. I hate her, but I love a good blindside. So I agree.
Back at camp, the Fang alliance is trying to remember how to spell Corinne's name. Ha ha ha! Ken thinks Corinne is going to try to convince Bob to give her his immunity necklace. They agree that if that happens, they'll just vote for Bob. Ken says they have nothing to worry about -- they're a tight five and they're going to stay that way. Matty tells us that they're getting down to the Final Six and Bob is a major threat, so things are scary.
Ken and Corinne meet at the dock. Ken says that Bob's win spoiled "our" plans. Does he means the Fang alliance's plans or something he's cooked up with Corinne? Either way, Corinne's got a trap to set. She says "that's okay" because she's got something that she thinks will keep her safe tonight. "I won't say anything, I promise," Ken says. Corinne strikes, telling him the Marcus idol story and ending with Bob giving it to her and Matty being blindsided out tonight. Ken agrees that that is probably Corinne and Bob's best option (not to mention Ken's). So, really, it's in Ken's best interests to keep this a secret from his alliance and let Matty be blindsided at Tribal, no? If the idol is real, then Corinne and Bob don't need a majority vote to take Matty out at all. I'm starting to see some cracks in Bob's genius idea. Ken says he'd like to talk to Bob about this, and Corinne goes off to get him, saying he has to tell him that she told Ken about the idol. Left alone, Ken says he might have to jump alliances.
Corinne and Bob return. Corinne butters Ken up, asking for his input since he's just as smart as they are. Ken says he agrees that they should take Matty out next. Corinne asks if Crystal ("because she's smarter than the rest of them") would vote for Matty with the three of them. Ken says he thinks so. Bob says they'll pull Crystal into a Final Four alliance and vote for Matty tonight. Yeah, a Final Four alliance with two people in it who the jury is sure to vote for over Ken or Crystal. Ken would be a moron to side with Bob and Corinne. Corinne tells us that this "ridiculously hair-brained scheme" might actually work. This proves to her that the mutants she's playing with are truly stupid. I think they're all stupid not to blindside Sugar right now. She's not an immunity threat, but she has an idol.
