As the sun sets, Sandra talks to Candice alone and tries to convince her to vote for Parvati. She says they can even vote for Li'l Russell tonight if that's what Candice wants, as she's sure Danielle won't give him her idol. And she's sure Danielle has the idol, because what moron would let someone else find the idol she fought so hard to get the clue to, right? Sandra makes a very good point here, saying, "the fact that me and you are now talking like this, we're done already. We're freaking done." Because now neither alliance trusts them. To prove this, Li'l Russell scampers up listen in. Sandra is not having that: "Russell, can we just have a minute, please? It's like every time I try to do something somebody gets in my face. I can't even do nothing! It's crazy!" Candice thinks the only way they can "fix this" is to "do what they said," whatever that means. Sandra says she's risked her place in this game to help Candice, only for Candice to turn around and tattle on her to Li'l Russell. "Why did you tell Russell everything we talked about? Why did you run to him?" Sandra asks, all hurt. Yeah, like she was going to flip to the Heroes' side because she wants to do the right thing for them and not because she wants Li'l Russell out of this game by any means necessary. "Just vote Amanda," Candice sighs. Sandra says they can vote Amanda out anytime -- now's their best chance to get rid of a Villain. "They have the idol," Candice whines. Ugh, stop being so scared of a stupid idol! "Everything that we worked for is about to go down the tubes," Sandra says, then tells Candice to just tell her who she's voting for and Sandra will follow suit. Well, shit. Candice just stares at Sandra as she waits for a producer to come up and tell her what to do tonight.
Tribal Council! In walk our three jury members, and if you guys haven't been watching the Ponderosa videos on the CBS site, you are seriously missing out. Douche, Courtney, and J.T. started a band (called The Dragons, naturally) and recorded a song! It's so much more entertaining than the actual show. Probst starts with Rupert and asks him if anyone on the Villains looks vulnerable to flipping over to the Heroes, which is the Heroes' only chance at this point. All eyes turn to Sandra as Rupert says that the Heroes talked about luring a Villain over to their side, but it's pointless since whoever flipped would feel like she was at the bottom of the totem pole and thus not benefit. "There is no real need for the Villains to do anything but stay with their five," Rupert says. Well, that's a stupid thing to say. Probst asks Sandra for her opinion, and she agrees with Rupert that her best bet is to stay with her original tribe, though she acknowledges that some of the Heroes have spoken to her about switching because it's obvious that she's the outsider of her alliance. Probst asks Amanda, whose sad eyes are in full effect tonight, what the Heroes can possibly offer Sandra. "You offer them a better deal," Amanda shrugs. Danielle says Sandra's current deal might be the best possible one. Li'l Russell agrees, saying Sandra is weak in challenges and would be easy to beat in the Final Three, so she's a pretty attractive prospect to take to the end with all of her crappiness. Is he trying to convince her to stay loyal to the Villains with statements like that or does he just not care anymore? Sandra says that she's frustrated with her alliance and feels unwanted or whatever.
