Episode Report Card Sara M: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT II II
By Sara M | Season 19 | Episode 9 | Aired on 11.12.2009
Probst calls go, and the finalists get to work opening their bags. Probst says that one of the pegs will fit in a hole in the board and the other will not. That means luck will play a part in this, too. Which is why Mick will lose. Mick and then Shambo get their bags open and make their way to the board. Laura is still struggling with her bag. Uh oh. Shambo gets the peg in first and is on her way. Mick soon follows. Laura finally gets her pegs out of the bags, but takes forever trying to find the correct hole. She eventually does, but Shambo and Mick are well ahead. Oh, but then Shambo and Mick slow down while Laura gets peg after peg. Go Laura! Li'l Russell is not pleased, but this is his own fault for smirking instead of being a finalist. Meanwhile, Shambo is trying to fit, like, an arrow-shaped peg in a plus sign-shaped hole. And then... Laura does it! She wins immunity! The other two weren't even close. Probst puts the immunity necklace on her while Shambo is so pissed. On the way out, Laura says Li'l Russell will be going home tonight.
The tribe returns to camp. Shambo straddles a hammock and then whines about how Laura won immunity and her heart is broken. But that just means that Kelly is going home next, since she's more of a threat than Monica, strength and friendship wise. Um... how about voting out one of the Galu men? Why is that not an option? Oh, I guess because they want to eliminate a member of Laura's inner circle. Way to be useless enough to stay in there for another round, Monica.
Back at camp, Li'l Russell and Jaison head out to the woods, where Li'l Russell tells Jaison about his immunity idol. Jaison seems kind of jealous, but where was he when Li'l Russell was looking around for the idol? Back at camp hiding in the shelter, most likely. Li'l Russell says the plan is to vote for Kelly and he'll play the idol and she'll be gone. Jaison seems to agree. He interviews that it's in his own best interests to keep this a secret from Galu, since if they know that Li'l Russell has the idol, they'll simply target someone else on Foa Foa -- and there's a 33% chance it would be him. So he goes to the shelter and tells Mick and Natalie about the plan. Li'l Russell stops by and says the same thing. Alone, Mick and Jaison talk about how much they like Li'l Russell. Mick says he had no idea there would even be a second immunity idol, let alone where it was hidden. Um, Mick sucks. Does he do anything? [Hmm... he was "chief" of Foa Foa... back before they gave up on that stupid twist - Angel]
