Previously on The Meek Shall Inherit...Never Mind: Janu was skinny and tired, and Steph was tough and determined, and Gregg reasonably concluded that it made more sense to get rid of the woman who didn't look like she was made of popsicle sticks. Jeff castigated the mean, mean castaways for giggling while Janu contemplated a night spent alone, and they pretended they were very, very sorry. But after Janu did a little barfing after the reward-challenge feast, she came to tribal council ready to go. Threw up her moxie, I suppose. A little "clarity" was introduced by Jeff Probst, leading Janu to conclude that it was better to go bravely into the arms of Coby than to spend another week turning into a bag of bones. She laid down her torch, and Stephenie lived to tan another day. Seven are left. Who will go ?
We return to Koror on Night 27, where a crab makes its way across the night-vision beach. The tribe returns to the picnic table to which it has become accustomed, and Ian mutters, "What the hell was that?" Steph explains to us that it was "a little uncomfortable" for her to return, knowing that they all wanted to vote her out and everything. Aside from how awkward that would naturally be, she still can't believe that the tribe would vote her out and keep someone who didn't want to be there. She tells this to the tribe as they're all standing around, and Tom counters with a claim that by the time it was all over, even if Janu hadn't quit, Steph wouldn't have been voted off -- they'd have dumped Janu. Gregg offers in an interview that this was pretty obviously not true, but was meant to calm Steph, which is pretty clearly true. Tom then tells the group that his immunity didn't matter, but that he thinks Steph earned immunity with her self-preservation speech, so he jokingly puts the necklace around her neck. Aw, she has Special Immunity! Everyone's a winner! Steph goes on to interview that, originally, there was a four-way alliance between herself, Ian, Tom, and Katie, but it's fairly evident that something is quite thoroughly amiss with that. She vows to "get to the bottom of it," whether she gets the boot at the tribal council or not.
Later, Gregg mutters to Ian that he hopes Steph's sticking around won't come back and bite them, and Ian promises that they won't let it. Gregg interviews that he thinks they should have gotten rid of Steph first thing, back when they booted Coby, and that he really regrets that they didn't. I, personally, would like to thank the tribe for booting Coby, since it has increased my enjoyment of the last couple of weeks substantially. I breathe the Cobyless air, and I am refreshed.
The day, as Steph chops a coconut, she asks Katie whether the four-person alliance they formerly had is a thing of the past, and Katie says she supposes it is, after what went on last night. "Who's running the show here, Gregg or Ian?" Steph asks. Katie claims not to know, but just says it's not her. That much, I certainly believe. Steph interviews that Katie doesn't make a very confidence-inspiring alliance partner, given the way she always claims not to know what's going on. Steph says that she thinks she needs to talk to Tom, so she does. Tom tells her that there are shake-ups, but vows that he's still trying to look out for her as much as he can, and that he's looking for opportunities to make a move. He also chuckles that Steph didn't do herself any favors by looking as tough as she has and winning...well, not so much winning anything, but still. Tom interviews that Steph hasn't hung around this long for nothing, and that he knows she's a strong player. But now she's looking for a way to stay in the game, and he knows that's potentially a threat to him. He says that, for that reason, it's probably best that they get rid of her. Steph tells Tom that it's "scary" looking at being booted, and Tom tells her he understands, because he figures he'll probably be taken out two people after her -- presumably after Caryn, if all else goes according to plan. Indeed, he interviews that he thinks he'll be perceived as a threat just as Stephenie now is, and that they'll come after him after Steph. A crab runs across the sand holding up a sign that says, "IF NOT SOONER."
There is now an original-Koror meeting, from which Steph appears to be excluded, where Tom essentially pleads with the tribe not to eliminate him for being a strong player. I don't really fault him for saying whatever he can think of to help himself, but I don't expect that to have much of an effect, either. I'm not sure that anyone has ever gotten to tribal council and said, "Well, I was going to vote him off, but he did ask me not to. And he asked nicely." Tom tells us that he can only hope his tribemates don't hold his strength as a competitor against him. Totally, Tom! Maybe they'll just let you win!
Later, Katie asks Gregg, A-Jen, and Ian what they thought of Tom's speech, and they are noncommittal. Katie interviews that she thinks the whole bit about having helped the tribe is sort of silly, because they all know the game is individual now, so it's not like they're going to sit back and let him take it. As he floats out in the water, we are forced to contemplate Tom's possible departure, and specifically the fact that Steph's only way out may be to have Tom booted instead. Booo! I want them to boot Caryn! Or Anonymous Jen! Or...James again, just for the hell of it! Katie then says that she realizes that her alliance is currently with "people that are really good," so she's wondering if it wouldn't be better to wind up with people who...well, aren't quite so good. To that end, we now observe a conversation in which it appears that Steph, Katie, and A-Jen discuss the possibility of an alliance among the four remaining women. Steph asks A-Jen whether she would really do that to Gregg, and A-Jen says she'd consider it if it meant getting farther in the game. Oh, another grimy romance, potentially betrayed. If you took all the love that this show has dashed in the dirt, you could fuel a wind-up set of chattering teeth.
Steph says that she thinks the person they'd have to convince is Caryn, who otherwise could easily side with the guys. "I think it's an awesome idea," Steph says of the women's alliance, particularly given that an endurance challenge against Katie, A-Jen, and Caryn might give Steph her best shot yet at winning something other than everyone's undying respect. Katie interviews that they're "entertaining" this women's-alliance idea, but says again that they'd have to deal with Caryn in order to make it work. Back at the chick meeting, Steph asks A-Jen and Katie who among the guys they'd want to get rid of, absent issues of individual immunity, and they collaboratively name Tom, on the basis that he's "just too strong." Even though he asked them not to do that! People are so selfish. "I'll do it if you guys are game," Steph says. In an interview, Steph insists that no matter how threatening she's perceived to be, she's not as threatening as Tom, Gregg, or Ian. Which is probably true, especially since she never wins challenges. Steph says that if she indeed goes out , the women will get crushed under the wheels of those three guys, no matter how cheery everyone may be right now. Back at camp, Ian arrives and shuts down the chick meeting, and then Steph, context-free, says in an interview, "You want to think I'm a threat? I'll show you how threatening I am." It's sad how that's kind of true.
On Day 28, a tank is rusting. Suspenseful! Katie and some of the other women return to camp with treemail, and it indicates that they will have "mostly" eating and drinking rewards, and that getting them will require "strategic thinking." I'll let you imagine how the horrible rhyming that is so much a part of the treemail tradition is accomplished. The tribe quickly concludes that this is probably the customary auction situation, and Tom interviews that he's hoping that, aside from the food and drink, there's something from home, because he needs "a little food for the soul." Aw. Tom's soul is hungry. Feed Tom's soul!
The tribe converges on the challenge clearing, and they all sit down to their wallets. Jeff tells them that they each have been given $500, and adds the piece of trivia that Palau uses U.S. dollars. It's good that this show is doing its part to make you smarter, because I heard PBS is getting a lot of pressure not to show the planned educational cartoon in which a pair of gay squirrels goes to Palau and learns about currency. Probst tells the candidates that they can keep the money, or they can spend it on items at the Survivor auction. Bidding for each item will start at $20, and will go up in $20 increments. They won't get a warning before the thing ends, so they should spend their money freely. The first item Jeff brings up is something or other with a green canvas cover over it. "You're not going to show us?" Steph asks. "No," says Jeff. Call me crazy, but this approach seems to take much of the interest out of the auction aspect, considering that people have no idea what they're bidding on, so you can't tell how badly they want any of it. Who cares if two people are in a bidding war over a green canvas cover? Anyway, bidding goes along until Anonymous Jen finally nails it down for $120. She counts out the money for Jeff, and he uncovers...an ice cream sundae. Not what I would want in this situation, since it would be melted and gross by the time I got it. But I do tend to undervalue dessert as compared to other people, and Jen seems happy, so that's good. Katie is nearly in tears at how awesome this is for Jen, which is kind of funny. They're sympathetic ice-cream tears. The game sure does get emotional.
The item, also covered, goes to Caryn and Steph, who split it and pay $260. That's an interesting idea, the cooperating. Kind of goes against the game's entire ethos. When they get up there, Jeff tells them that they can either keep their mystery item, or they can trade for -- this other mystery item! Which looks basically the same. Again, why is this interesting? Anyway, he gives them only a few seconds to decide, and what I think is awesome is that Steph immediately decides to try to smell them both through the covers to see if she can figure out what's inside. It doesn't seem like she's successful, but they do opt to trade in for the new item. Jeff first uncovers what they originally had, which was crackers and cheese. And it totally cracks me up when Katie, back on the bench, pounds her fists with frustration at how good the crackers look, and when Ian exclaims, "I would have loved crackers and cheese!" Hee. I guess the "Ah, the power of cheese" people aren't exaggerating as much as you might think. Jeff then uncovers what Steph and Caryn have actually wound up with -- a burger and fries and a Coke. That's some nice celebratory hugging between Caryn and Steph here, and the tribe is nicely enthused behind them. It's not that this tribe will remain entirely devoid of hard feelings, but it's also true that none of these people seem to be dyed-in-the-wool, hard-feelings sorts of people, and that apparently makes it possible for them to have substantially more pleasant moments together than have sometimes occurred in seasons past. Of course, I tend to undervalue overdramatic dipwads almost as much as dessert, so don't go by me. At any rate, Caryn and Steph do a little dance, and then Steph cuts the burger in half. "Oh, it's a double!" she cries out. Heh. They bite into their burger, which clearly tastes very good.
mystery item goes to Ian for $300 after Gregg chips in $20 for a bite, hoping it's food of some kind. Jeff brings out a box, specifically designed to make Ian think there are letters or something in it. And here comes the offer: Does Ian want to trade his item for the box? Ian does not. He will stick with what he has. And he has made the right choice, because out of the box, Jeff pulls a jar of crabs. When Ian gets up to the front, Jeff uncovers a plate of spaghetti and meat sauce and garlic bread. Ian leans over and hugs Jeff, and Jeff says, "Take a bite." And then it hits him. The wave of smell. "Wow, you smell, Ian. Wow, you reek!" You can tell that even after his years of experience, Jeff is really blown back by Ian's stench. The tribe is like, "You tell him!," which...again, funny! Odor politics are always one of those things that can sort of pop up at any time, and it's not always the people you would expect, either. And good-natured. I'm enjoying this season so much more than usual. Jeff actually gives one more watering-eyes-style shudder as Ian goes to spear a bite of spaghetti with his fork. He slurps it in joyfully, and then takes it back to his seat, where he pours on the parmesan cheese and then offers Gregg his $20 bite.
Jeff then brings out a beer, which apparently isn't being auctioned -- it's just going to the first person to say $40. Which Ian immediately does, so it's his beer. He opens it and takes a big glug. "Oh, man, that's good, Tom," he says, turning back to his buddy. That beer looks really good. Hang on, I'll be right back.
Okay. Now, it is go time. Jeff opens up a metal box and brings out envelopes. Here are everyone's letters from home. It's clear from the beginning that Tom is going to go just as high as it takes, and it turns out that it takes a bid of $220, at which point everybody else drops out. Sold to Tom for $220, and he goes up to get his envelope. Jeff asks him if he's going to read it now or later, and Tom chuckles, "I know I'm going to peek." Tom opens his letter and immediately sees a drawing that's a tracing of a hand from one of his kids. Katie cries as Tom holds it up. Everybody else cries, too. Who doesn't love crude representations of limbs? Jeff then says that anybody else who wants their letters can get them for the same price Tom paid, $220. Katie agrees to take hers, as do Gregg, and Steph, and Caryn. They all head up and collect their letters from Jeff. As soon as Steph peeks into her envelope, she starts to cry, noting that she has letters from her whole family and her boyfriend. Aw! And then the auction is over, and it's time to head back to camp. Full of sugar, grease, alcohol, and now sap, the castaways depart.
Back at Koror -- Day 28, you'll remember -- it's time for the letters to be opened and read. Steph settles in on a blanket to read her letters from her brothers, her sister-in-law, her nieces and nephews, her parents, and her boyfriend. Score! She apparently wound up with a total of twelve letters. As we watch her read her letter from someone named Linda (shout-out!), in which you can make out "I love you, I miss you, take care of yourself -- oh yeah, say hi to Jeff from me and Brianna" (hee), Steph explains that her family is really great and really positive. She says that they inspire her to try hard at everything, so this is exactly what she needs in order to pump her up for everything she has to face from here on out. She says that the women have talked about an alliance, but that she doesn't really know if that's going to work out or not. I love it that one of her letters has teeny little dense print, because that's how letters from me are, as you know if you've ever gotten one -- full of love and lots and lots and lots of words. "I will read these letters and I will think of these people, and I will go in there like wildfire, and I will win this. I know it." Aw. And? Not.
, Ian has better things to do than think about his family, because in honor of Jeff calling him out for stinking up the joint, he will be taking a bath. In fact, he calls it "bath day." I would think that with all the free time these people have, you wouldn't require a special day to be bath day, but apparently, Ian does. It explains a lot, frankly. He takes the little basket of cleaning products out into the water and starts to clean. He washes his hair. He washes his legs and his feet. He scrubs his knees. As he's out there, Gregg joins him. If you think this is getting kind of porny, you're actually right, and you only get righter when Ian tells Gregg that he could use a hand, because he can't see his back and can't see to get the dirt off. Ian interviews that this was in spite of his "monkey arms." Heh. So Gregg pitches in and takes the washcloth to Ian's back. On shore, A-Jen comments that it's "quite a picture out there, with the men bathing each other." BOYS TOUCHING! BOYS TOUCHING! "I think they could have asked a girl to loofah their backs if they wanted to," Jen says, apparently unable to believe that the guys missed out on an opportunity to dodge contact far less intimate than most of them have probably experienced regularly through sports. Katie at least makes a little more light of it: "So, Ian and Gregg had a little moment, down in the water," she says in her scandale! voice. "Maybe that's the secret alliance we don't know about! You never kno-ow," she sing-songs, in a way that's funnier than it sounds like it would be. Ian interviews that it was "a Grecian bath," and adds that while he was mocked, he's "comfortable with [his] sexuality." Heh. Tom wanders by while Ian is washing off, and Ian asks him whether he sees any major dirt spots on the back of Ian's neck. "No, there's not, uh, I'm not going to clean it for you, but there's, uh, you look nice and clean," Tom says. Tom does not add, "I have a firehouse to go back to after this, you know." That entire sequence is so dumb and played, to some degree, but they all kind of treated it like parody, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Besides, I think I could actually smell Ian through my television, so the bath was probably overdue.
The day, Tom takes a walk with Caryn and tells her that he knows he's a target, and that he's not feeling too confident. He thinks his position is all right at this point, but that they're going to have an immunity challenge soon, and then everything will be up in the air. Tom tells her that while he loves his original five-person alliance, he doesn't really want to be dealing with Ian down the road, and doesn't think Ian wants to be dealing with Tom. He interviews that he thinks this could be a moment where the tribe might decide that it's a good time to get rid of him, before it gets harder. He says that the only protection he has is to keep his alliance together, and then also to bring in Caryn on the side. And indeed, he basically admits to Caryn that she would be the sixth person in an alliance of five. And when there are seven people, I'm not sure why that works on her at all, but...okay. Caryn, in turn, interviews that Tom is her "in," and I'm not sure what she thinks she's going to wind up "in," but again, who am I to argue? She says that Tom told her he wanted her to go as far as she can, meaning...three more days? I mean, once he's admitted to the alliance of five, what is this about? Tom and Caryn agree that they will "look out for each other," whatever that means, and then Tom interviews that befriending her was "a good move." He then interviews that if he doesn't snag immunity, he'll expect to get some votes.
The tribe comes to a challenge clearing where Jeff takes back the immunity necklace from Tom. He then explains the challenge, and if you ever played Toss Across as a kid, this will look familiar to you. Basically, they'll be up on a platform, about twenty feet from a big game board that has ceramic tiles in it. Five per person. You throw coconuts toward the board, trying to hit the tiles in your color, and the first person to knock out all five tiles will be the winner. Of course, if you knock out someone else's, that also counts for them. So this, really, is somewhat about strength in that you have to be able to get a decent throw off, but it's mostly about aim, because the grid is a little ways away.
Ian steps up, grabs a coconut, and immediately smashes out one of his tiles. One point for Ian. up is Katie, who misses when her coconut bounces off the board. Gregg steps up and takes out one of his, so he and Ian are tied. A-Jen takes out one of Caryn's. "Thank you, Jen!" Caryn says. But then Caryn steps up and misses. Tom then accidentally hits one of Katie's. Steph hits another one of Caryn's, putting Caryn in the lead. Second round starts. Ian hits another one of his. Katie misses. Gregg hits -- another of Ian's! So now, Ian has three. Jen gets one of Tom's, putting Tom on the board. Caryn hits Katie again, and Katie laughs at the absurdity of doing so well without doing anything, which is sort of a metaphor for Survivor itself. Tom steps up and hits one of his, so he has two. "Jersey still not on the board," Jeff says as Steph steps up. And misses again. I love her so much...why is she is so bad at everything?
round. Ian hits another one of his, so now he has four. Katie gets Jen instead. Gregg gets one of his. Jen gets one of hers. Caryn gets one of Steph's, putting Steph on the board. Tom takes aim and hits a green one, so he seems to have the hang of it. Steph misses -- again. round. Ian has one left, but when he tosses, he hits Steph again, so she has two down. Katie hits her own, so she's up to three. Gregg hits one of his. Jen's bounces off. Caryn misses entirely. She sucks. Tom...accidentally hits Ian's last one with a very bad bounce, so that will do it, and Ian's got immunity. Jeff gives Ian the necklace, not even congratulating him on being so clean, which seems a little less than generous, under the circumstances. You have to follow mockery with appropriate praise, Jeff! Haven't you been to management school?
Later, at Koror, it is raining. Hard. And Tom notes that it's a bit of a "curve ball" not to be able to go off and talk because of the weather, and he thinks it will be pretty amusing if everyone suddenly scampers off to cut deals as soon as the sun comes out. Heh. Caryn and Katie head out to "go get snails." Steph tells us that she assumes Katie is going to tell Caryn about the women's-alliance idea, but she's not sure whether the women are actually going to follow through with that idea: "We'll see."
As Katie and Caryn work, Katie asks Caryn if she'd rather team up with the women or stand around and wait to get stomped by the three guys who will continually win immunity. "We have four, and they have three," she says simply of the gender balance. Caryn interviews that she got this as an offer from Katie. Katie tells Caryn that she loves Tom and will hate voting for him: "But I've accepted that I'm going to have to write his name down, or else he's going to win." Not to make Katie sound like the voice of reason, but...seriously. That's very true, and it would be a damn good lesson for everyone who goes on this show to learn. You can't refuse to vote for anyone if you expect to win the money. Caryn tells us that she has to think about what to do, because she's been dealing with Tom. She says she has no "alliance" with anyone, but insists that she's "watching out" for Tom, and that Tom is "watching out" for her. I'm not sure what that means, except that it's an expression Tom uses to mean "I would rather not vote for you, but I will if it seems strategically critical." There should be a name for that promise. Like, for instance, "Whatever-plus." To be used thusly: "Would you ever vote me off?" "Whatever-plus." "Okay. Me, too."
Whatever it means, Caryn takes it seriously, because she immediately runs to Tom to tell him that his name is being mentioned "all over the place." He asks her what that means, and she says that "the girls are talking." Tom asks her why she's telling him this, and she just insists that it's because she said she would. Tom continues to be suspicious of this information, and Caryn continues just to say she told him she'd give him any information that made it to her, so...here's what she knows. Tom interviews that he's not sure what to think about this, since he doesn't understand why Caryn would tell him this. And I don't either. Which makes it sort of brilliant, because it's so obviously foolish for her to share this information that Tom almost doesn't believe her. Ironic! Caryn tells Tom that Katie is "throwing around possible scenarios." Tom says he needs to talk to Ian.
Ian and Tom have a quick chat, and Ian says that he thinks Caryn is "telling stories" at this point. He takes Katie off into the woods and asks her about the information Caryn is spreading around. Katie, not sure what to do, sort of deflects the situation by being indignant about Caryn's having gone to Tom and Ian with this information...or something: "That really bothers me." Well...of course it does! Nobody puts "being busted" on their list of the best ways to spend an afternoon. Katie interviews that she thinks Caryn misrepresented it as something where she was plotting to get the women together, when really, all she was doing was "entertaining the idea." "We can't get a female alliance together because Caryn sucks," Katie says with annoyance, and that did make me laugh. Because I agree, and because that would be incredibly frustrating. Tattling isn't even sensible for Caryn, really, although I suppose she's probably hoping to turn Tom and Ian and Gregg against Katie and Jen and weasel into a final-four situation with them. Which I don't think is going to happen. In their little chat, though, Katie tells Ian that Katie has no chance against Tom or against Ian, but that she's sticking with Ian, and thinks Ian should at least consider whether it would be better to get rid of Tom. Katie and Ian agree that their primary alliance is to each other (new information!), but they're not sure what to do beyond that. Katie interviews, not unreasonably, that she thinks Tom has a chance of winning every immunity from this point out, so she thinks they have to smarten up and get him out while he's vulnerable. Back in her chat with Ian, Katie tells him that she would hate to see Tom sweep the immunities from here out. She then interviews that she thinks the biggest challenge for her plan is getting Ian on her side to boot Tom, and that she thinks she can do that. She asks Ian when he's going to be willing to consider getting rid of Tom, since he seems to hesitate every time she brings it up. He doesn't answer, but he does interview that what he's going to do is "up in the air."
Caryn walks in on Ian and Katie's conversation, and then we switch to an Ian-terview in which he says that both Caryn and Steph need to be voted out in order for his plans to work, but that he's not sure whether to switch away from those two options and get rid of Tom while the getting-rid-of is good. Caryn tells the camera, when Ian and Katie have gone, that she may have shot herself in the foot by tattling on Katie to Tom, and that she may go herself. Certainly is a big week for paranoia.
Gregg, on the other hand, has not changed his thinking, which is what makes him a lovely simpleton. He tells us that he still thinks Steph needs to be the one to leave. "She brings a complexity to the game right now," he says. He insists that getting rid of Steph will bring them "back to what the plan is." Because Steph is not in the plan. Steph is plan-less! The plan is Steph-less! Yeah, I get it, Muscles Malone. Let's move along. Steph, on the other hand, tells us that she's survived a lot of problems, and that she hopes the tribe will realize that, for its own good, it needs to get rid of Tom. Which, for once, is actually true, which it almost never is when people claim to be telling other people what's in their best interests. She says that she's done all she can to put the thought in people's heads, so now she can only hope the tribe will go with it.
Tribal council. Jeff opens by bringing in Coby and Janu. He then asks Ian whether there's paranoia, and Ian admits that there is, but that it's "still a pretty solid group." Jeff asks Steph about having escaped last week, and she says that she thought it would be pretty gross, but that the rest of the tribe made her as comfortable as it could, given that...you know, they had all basically admitted to wanting her out as soon as possible. She says she's played as hard as she possibly can, and that "whatever's meant to happen will happen." Jeff asks her about being an outsider, and asks her about the dynamic that will follow when members of this happy group start to be sent to the jury. Steph says it will be difficult, because these people haven't had to "scramble" very much, and now they're about to start having to backstab more.
Caryn says that she has been noticing more strategizing ever since that last tribal council. Jeff asks her if she thinks she'll go tonight, and she says she wouldn't be overwhelmingly surprised. She admits that while you like to think you know what's up, you don't always. Jeff now asks Tom about his leadership role. He has rocked the challenges...was that on purpose? Tom says it wasn't, and that, in fact, he intended to hang back somewhat and "hide behind being a little bit older than the crowd." But for the tribe's sake, he "revealed [his] hand," and he hopes they don't hold it against him. Good luck with that, dude. Nothing like counting on the honor of people in a game that might as well be called Chutes and Backstabbing.
Does Ian want to give immunity to anyone else? He is not an idiot. He does not. Jeff sends them off to vote. Caryn goes first. Then Tom. Then Ian, who holds up his vote and says, "You're one of the fiercest competitors I've ever met. My heart hurts to watch you go." Aw. Mine, too. Jen votes. Steph votes. Katie votes: "This is absolutely nothing personal; I'm just voting with the rest of the tribe." Gregg votes. Jeff goes off to tally.
When Jeff comes back, the first vote is for Caryn. Then Steph, Steph, Steph, and Steph, so that will do it. And it really, really looks like she knew that was coming. She goes over and is snuffed, and then she scurries off, before -- I think -- she can start crying. There are some very sad faces, because everybody knows that was a cool girl. They're not feeling all "haaaa-ha" about it, the way they usually do. Jeff calls it "relatively speaking, another easy vote," in that Steph was the last of the Ulong. Now, they're down to six original members of Koror, so there's no choice but to start eating each other. So go back to camp, and sharpen those canines! They go.
Steph is very much at peace in her exit interview, talking about what a great time she had, and how proud she is of how well she did. As she should be. I will miss you, Miss Stephenie. You were a princess among dinks.
week: intrigue! Something dreadful! Tom and Ian worry about Katie's loyalty. Caryn tries to capitalize. I continue wanting to beat up Coby whenever I look upon the jury.
