Abi isn't sure why they kept her around, but she doesn't want to leave yet. Her latest strategy is to convince Lisa that she's on the bottom of her final four alliance, and she won't make it to the finals. Lisa isn't buying it, but she knows that she needs to keep Abi on her side whether to go to the finals or as a jury member.
Reward Challenge: The Survivors have to climb up and slide down a ramp, and retrieve two bags of rings from the water. Then they have to toss the rings onto pegs. Skupin and Malcolm are neck and neck throughout, but Skupin gets all his rings on pegs first and wins. He chooses Malcolm and Lisa to come with him on a helicopter ride to eat pizza on a boat.
Poor Denise is left on the beach with Abi, who doesn't get why she wasn't chosen to go on Reward, like does she still not get that no one likes her? Meanwhile, on the boat, Lisa, Skupin, and Malcolm make a final three deal. Skupin also drinks soda for the first time in thirty years and gets a little loopy.
The morning, Denise discovers that she got bit or stung by something in the night and she seems to be having an allergic reaction, but she decides to try to suck it up and carry on.
Immunity Challenge: Cross a bridge and retrieve puzzle pieces, and use them to assemble a maze and then solve it. Malcolm is in first place but he falls off the bridge and has to start over. This gives Denise a chance to solve the maze, but she can't quite put it together and in an impressive feat, Malcolm comes from behind and wins the challenge. So now he has Immunity PLUS he has to play his Idol tonight, as it's the last night it can be played. If I were Denise, I would ask him to give me his Idol so that Lisa and Skupin don't start any shenanigans. That would let her know if Malcolm is really planning on taking her to the finals.
Denise does ask Malcolm for his Idol and he says she doesn't need it so he doesn't give it to her. Lisa and Skupin consider their options. They know keeping Abi makes sense from a finals perspective, but they also know they'll need Denise's challenge expertise to keep Malcolm from winning immunity in the challenge.
At Tribal Council, Abi makes a big pitch to keep her around, since she thinks either Malcolm or Denise is going to win, so Lisa and Skupin are stupid to keep them instead of her. And then THANK GOD, they vote Abi out because I could not take her bullshit anymore. At least now, whoever wins, I will feel that it's deserved.
