Because life is just that unfair, Naonka (with the help of Brenda) gets the immunity idol. Then she tells off Kelly B. for daring to also search for the immunity idol and interviews that she hopes Kelly B.'s artificial leg is burned in a fire. It's kind of amazing. And that's pretty much all that happens on La Flor, as Espada has to deal with Jimmy T., who won't shut up about anything, least of all what a great leader he'd be. Marty then appoints Tyrone as their leader going into the reward/immunity challenge just to piss Jimmy T. off. Despite Tyrone's best efforts to guide his blindfolded tribemates towards product-placement items, La Flor's use of the Medallion of Power (and the fact that Espada sucks) gives them an easy victory. Back at camp, Jimmy T. repeats what he's been saying for days about how he should get a chance to lead the tribe when he isn't using his fishing skills to catch sea urchins and calling out Marty for not sharing his sea urchins. That's all Marty needs to start a campaign against Jimmy T., and he somehow manages to convince most of the tribe to vote for him instead of useless Dan.
Want more? The full recap starts right below!It's raining when Espada return to camp fresh from booting Jimmy Johnson and destroying CBS and Jeff Probst's dreams. Everyone seems pretty down, especially Yve and Holly, whose heads are hanging so low that I'm worried their necks are actually broken. Jimmy T., on the other hand, is happy the other Jimmy is gone, interviewing that he didn't give the tribe very much anyway and never let Jimmy T. play in the challenges. And then the thing you know, Jimmy T. is singing to his tribe. I'm not sure what he's singing, but it's annoying and he's not very good at it. Various contestants are beyond irritated, and Marty interviews that it's now the "Jimmy T. Show" at camp, which Marty doesn't like one bit because he wants it to be the Marty Show, no doubt. Jimmy T. stops singing in favor of hugging everyone, including Dan, even though he looks like he wants to murder him, and Marty says Jimmy T. is obnoxious and Marty is willing to give him the tiny piece of rope he needs to hang himself. And that's basically this entire episode, plus fifty-five minutes of filler.
The morning, Holly walks onto the beach wearing that weird shirt that only has one long sleeve, looks around, and says "wow, this is absolutely crazy." But she's not talking about herself or even Jimmy T. -- she's talking about the mud pit that Espada Beach has become thanks to recent heavy rainfalls that pushed all kinds of water and debris downstream onto their shores. Dan calls it "a mess," saying that they can't even get out into the ocean to go fishing. Back at camp, Dan bemoans the fate of his sneakers, which have a hole burnt into the toe. He claims that he's the one who "cooked" them, but I think we really need to look at Holly here considering her history with Dan's footwear. Dan and Jane joke that they're so hungry they could eat Dan's cooked shoes. "Filet of sole," Jane cracks herself up. Jill, on the other hand, is not smiling. She interviews that they have no food and now, thanks to the rain, no way to get more.
Jimmy T. tries to help by studying the fishing method of the Nicaraguan pelican. It seems to work for the birds, so he tells Holly they need to do what the pelican is doing. Except with a net. Marty suggests that two people throw the net out, but Jimmy T. says "in the real world," only one guy throws the net. Okay, but that one guy is probably experienced in and good at net fishing. And he's still not going to be as good as the pelican, whose entire body is made to catch fish that way. Jimmy T. throws the net a few times, catches nothing, and looks silly. Marty just shakes his head and walks away. Jane interviews that they're really missing Jimmy Johnson now, since he was apparently the best at fishing. She hopes someone will "step up" into the leadership role.
Things seem a bit better over at La Flor. NaOnka interviews that she slept so well last night that she didn't even hear the rain. I wonder if that was in response to the producers asking her "after knocking over the woman with one leg, how well did you sleep last night?" NaOnka then recaps that Brenda is now in possession of the immunity idol clue she fought so hard to get, and seems to have figured it out. Brenda tries to tell NaOnka her theory, but it's difficult when Alina is basically sitting there staring at them, perhaps hoping to read their lips and find out where the idol is. I seem to have underestimated Brenda, who did manage to figure out the idol clue after all and says they are to dig eight yards west of treemail. She and NaOnka set off to look.
They have a bit of trouble figuring out which direction west is, but soon find the idol. Brenda backs away to let NaOnka reach in and grab it, and NaOnka interviews that the idol "is mine. It's mine, it's mine. It doesn't belong to anyone else. Brenda helped me find it, but ultimately I figured it out and it's mine. The hidden immunity idol is in my sock." Actually, NaOnka, that's Jud's sock. But I guess she isn't going to remember that if she can't remember that Brenda figured out the entire idol clue and pointed to where NaOnka should dig for it. NaOnka interviews that she's just now realizing that she could win a million dollars in this game (too bad she didn't realize that before she alienated like half the potential jury) and "no one" is going to stand in her way to get it. Not even someone who only has one leg to stand on. "One shove and she's outta there," NaOnka says. At some point, will there be an interview where NaOnka explains why she hates amputees so much? Or are we just supposed to guess?
Meanwhile, Alina and Kelly B.'s lives suck. "It's lonely out here," Kelly B. says. Especially since Ben and Jud are apparently now firmly in the other alliance and/or don't exist. Alina says the "hardest part" of it is pretending that she likes NaOnka. Why does she bother? NaOnka certainly isn't spending any effort pretending that she likes anyone. Alina interviews that she really likes Kelly B. now, so the way NaOnka treats her makes her furious. "She tackled a girl with one leg, like, how sick is that?" asks the girl who once said that she didn't want to ally with Kelly B. because she has one leg. They decide to look for the idol again, since that's their only hope right now and Alina knows that Brenda and NaOnka are looking for it as well. She and Kelly B. follow Brenda and NaOnka's earlier footsteps, and then NaOnka follows them. She says she knows they won't find the idol because she already has it, so she's going to try to "scare" them. Is she trying to justify her unnecessary bullying as gameplay now? Maybe when she realized that she was playing for a million dollars, she also realized that the cameras are there because millions of people are watching and judging her? I doubt it, though.
And so, as Alina and Kelly B. are sitting on the treemail box obviously feeling down, NaOnka strolls up and aggressively says "you guys looking for something?" A capuchin monkey watches from above with an expression of disapproval on his face. "It's no secret. We're looking for the same thing you're looking for," either Alina or Kelly B. respond. NaOnka crouches down and says that she's going to be following them then, and she's "just playing the game." "Follow us," Kelly B. says, shrugging. For daring to speak, NaOnka says "WHAT?!" and then "I don't like you. Never have liked you. Don't trust you," before launching into another rant that Kelly B. probably isn't paying attention to anyway. Alina interviews that NaOnka is "a psycho," as if we all hadn't figured that out already. NaOnka says she's also angry with Kelly B. for the "performance" she put on after NaOnka got the clue. Kelly B. is confused, asking if NaOnka is saying that she didn't knock Kelly B. over. NaOnka says she absolutely did, but she didn't like how Kelly B. told the tribe that she had no idea why NaOnka did that. "I don't like you," NaOnka concludes, because as long as she just keeps telling herself that, it makes all the other stuff she does and says to Kelly B. okay in her mind. Kelly B. wisely sees no reason to continue this discussion and says "okay. Whatever."
Kelly B. interviews that NaOnka is a bully and she just wanted a reaction out of Kelly B. that Kelly B. wasn't going to give her, although she admits it wasn't easy to bite her tongue. Seriously. I'll bet NaOnka thinks she's winning every round here because she has the last word and almost all the words, but the truth is that Kelly B. could probably rip her apart verbally if she wanted to. NaOnka is only "winning" because Kelly B. refuses to play. And also because NaOnka happens to be in the better alliance. NaOnka continues that Kelly B. is "on the outs" and so she doesn't need to explain anything to her. That doesn't stop her from talking all the time, though. She then interviews that Kelly B. is a "charity case" who will not vote for NaOnka to win the million. Alina, meanwhile, just sits there and says nothing, because if Kelly B. is voted out before her, then that means at least three more days in the game for Alina. NaOnka says she hopes that her verbal beatdowns of Kelly B. will force her to quit the game. Also, this gem: "screw your leg. Keep it away from the fire." There's really nothing I can add to that bon mot, so I won't.
It's Night 10 at Espada. The tribe tries to convince itself that things will only get better and they will make it through this. Marty then says that when it comes to the challenge, he thinks they should unite under "one voice," and that one voice should be... Tyrone. This, of course, prompts Jimmy T. to tell us all about how he's a leader back home but apparently doesn't want to be a leader here and will fall in line behind whoever is the leader. Hey, remember last week when Jimmy T. said that Jimmy Johnson was not "a big Jimmy T. fan" and was insecure to Jimmy T.'s awesome leadership powers? Well, this week, Jimmy T. says that Marty is the one who isn't a big Jimmy T. fan and must therefore be insecure. Jimmy T. says he'd like to tell Marty he's a "preppy little bitch" who "wouldn't last a minute" in Jimmy T.'s world. "I gotta give him a little shake. 'Marty! Get a clue!'" Jimmy T. adds, thereby failing to look for any clues for himself.
The morning, it's time for another challenge, and treemail comes with blindfolds that clue Espada in to what the challenge will be. While Yve plays with the blindfold, Jill suggests that they practice taking directions while blindfolded. Wide-eyed, Jimmy T. adds "if we get all used to those directions, when you give your directions, we'll know exactly what you mean." Marty just stares at Jimmy T. He is so done with him. And so, Tyrone calls out directions while various contestants wear blindfolds and follow them. He gets a good shorthand going and things seem to be going well. Tyrone interviews that he thinks his tribe will win this one because they are old and therefore more disciplined. Then Jimmy T. steps forward and starts talking about stuff that everyone already knows but saying it in a way that sounds really complicated, takes forever, and tries everyone's patience. Marty interviews that when he suggested that Tyrone be their challenge leader last night, he did it to rile Jimmy T. up, and it worked. "Jimmy T. is delusional. He has no idea. He suffers from both paranoia and from delusions of grandeur. Anybody that calls out Jimmy Johnson and says that Jimmy Johnson might be insecure because of Jimmy T.'s leadership capabilities has got some issues going on." And while Marty is a preppy little bitch, he's pretty much on the money there.
Challenge time! It's so early in the show, that means we're back on the two challenge schedule, right? Good! The tribes arrive, and La Flor is amazed to see Jimmy Johnson has been voted out. And then Probst takes back the immunity idol, which means this is yet another stupid reward/immunity challenge. Ugh. BORING. Anyway, this is a typical blindfold challenge, in which one contestant is the caller and the rest are blindfolded and tied to each other in pairs and must retrieve various Product Placements, then a set of keys that will unlock a chest. First tribe to bring ten items and the chest back to their mat wins immunity and their choice of three of those items, provided by Mervyns. If La Flor uses their Medallion, they'll only have to fetch eight items. They decide to do just that. And since only seven tribemembers can play this, Espada sits out Dan (again) and La Flor sits out both of the Kellys.
Probst calls go, and Brenda is calling for La Flor while Tyrone is doing the honors for Espada. It looks like Espada has an edge in the beginning, as Tyrone's directions are loud and quick, thanks to the shorthand they developed before the challenge. Oh, and then there's the contestants walking into stuff that always makes these challenges so much fun. Sash nails his upper thigh on a barrel. Benry manages to stumble onto a fishing pole, while Sash and his partner, Chase, get a tarp. NaOnka and Alina (that must have been fun for them) grab a huge-ass hammock. Apparently, all of the items are in, like, the same place? Because everyone seems to be congregated in one area and bringing back tons of items from it. Except for a lonely set of bowls, which Jill and Marty grab. Meanwhile, Yve and Jane are like three inches away from a chair but can't seem to find it. La Flor, on the other hand, add three more items to their mat, bringing their total to five. And then Marty trips over a treasure chest in a most humorous manner. Yve and Jane manage to find the chair and walk back with it, and we get to watch everyone on Espada smack into NaOnka on their way back to the mat, the hits accompanied by wacky sound effects.
Jane and Yve have the dubious honor of bringing Espada's first item onto the mat. La Flor, meanwhile, just got its sixth. They manage to get another one in while Jimmy T. wanders around trying to ask Tyrone questions while Tyrone is obviously focused on other things. Meanwhile, Alina, no doubt energized by the desire to spend as little time possible attached to NaOnka, brings back another item for La Flor. When Jimmy T. and Holly (who decided to pair those two wackadoos up? Or NaOnka and Alina, for that matter) finally get their first and Espada's fourth item on the mat, Chase and Sash are returning with their tribe's tenth. Also, Yve and Jane just brought back another item - their third of Espada's five -- so they had better not get voted off tonight.
While Chase and Sash head off to find the keys, Probst talks non-stop about how crappy Espada is doing and Tyrone starts commanding his troops to apparently get in Chase and Sash's way. It doesn't work, though, as Jimmy T. has stopped following Tyrone's directions at this point and is now hopelessly wandering somewhere in Honduras. Predictably, Chase and Sash unlock the chest and bring it back to the mat to win it all for La Flor. Once the blindfolds are off, Jimmy T. is quick to give excuses, saying that he couldn't hear Tyrone over everyone else's screaming even though Tyrone has a pretty distinct voice and it seemed plenty loud to me. Also, Jane and Yve didn't seem to have much of a problem hearing it. Probst hands La Flor the immunity idol and Brenda chooses fishing equipment, a tarp, and cooking supplies as their Mervyns reward.
Espada returns to camp. Dan says that challenge looked "tough" and if only he was able to walk in mud, he could have possibly contributed something. He concludes that the Medallion was what gave La Flor the winning edge, and the rest of the tribe is perfectly happy to believe that. Except for Jimmy T., who repeats his request to do something leadership-y in a challenge. He informs us that he's coached various children's sports, like, if having sports coaching on your résumé was such a plus, then why did they get rid of Jimmy Johnson? Marty has clearly had it and walks away before he can go off on Jimmy T. Tyrone, meanwhile, patiently asks Jimmy T. how he would have done things differently and had more success. Jimmy T. then admits that he can't think of anything before going back to his speech about past leadership successes he's had, as if they mean anything. Tyrone interviews that Jimmy T. is too negative at camp after challenges and is obviously only about himself, and it's becoming more and more obvious and a problem. Between Tyrone's comments about Holly being crazy, Marty being shady, and Jimmy T. being obsessed with himself, I think Tyrone is shaping up to be very good at reading people.
Meanwhile, La Flor manages to bring their latest reward home without fisticuffs, unlike last time. They open it to check out their Product Placement prizes, and Sash rather worriedly says, "we have knives?" I'd be worried too, to be that close to a set of knives and NaOnka, but only if I was missing a limb. People with "100% body," as NaOnka would say, have nothing to fear. While Ben and his weird face celebrate the new tarp, Chase searches through the tackle box and finds an idol clue hidden inside. He sneaks off and grabs the clue for himself, then interviews that Brenda is a "close ally" who he trusts, because she is attractive and he is a moron. And then we see a shot of a spider attacking some helpless bug that is probably from the south, stupid, and works as a Pro Race Car Jackman. Chase tells Brenda about his clue and decides to look for the idol with her. Did he not bother to look at the clue before letting Brenda know about it? Or is he assuming there's no way his dumb ass was going to figure it out? Why do people keep coming up to Brenda and showing her their clues? What is her special power over people?
The third clue is pretty easy at this point, and even Chase is able to figure it out. He and Brenda set off for treemail, and Brenda has to figure out what she should do on the way there: pretend she doesn't know NaOnka has the idol and look for something she knows they'll never find while risking Chase not being able to trust her if he finds out that she knew about the idol and didn't tell him, or tell him about NaOnka's idol even though she told NaOnka she wouldn't, thus running the risk of incurring her wrath. That is not a difficult decision. You do not want to make NaOnka angry. I'm sure Chase would understand. Brenda attempts to tell Chase the truth, but he's a moron and pays more attention to Brenda's body than any words coming out of her mouth, so he doesn't get it at all. Finally, she has to spell it out for him, and he is seriously bummed out. His face absolutely falls. Chase says he now has to trust NaOnka through Brenda, which he obviously did not want to do. Brenda says he can't tell NaOnka that he knows about the idol, even though he clearly wants to and will not be able to keep this a secret for more than three seconds. So, basically, Brenda is probably screwed. But if she's not, then she's in a really good position because she has two allies who trust her but not each other.
Back at Espada, Master Fisherman Jimmy T. has his tribe hunting for sea urchins, which are easy to catch as long as you don't get stung and provide pretty much no meat. I hope Holly isn't around to see them eating those urchins. She couldn't even handle them eating snails. While Tyrone and Jimmy T. look for urchins behind her, Jill interviews that they're pretty much scraping the bottom of the food barrel these days. Marty is looking for urchins, too, and eating whatever he catches. Jimmy T. objects to this, telling him to "contribute to the company pot." Tyrone sees a storm brewing and totally gets the hell out of there. "Be a tribe playah," Jimmy T. scolds. Marty decides this isn't worth his energy, and simply says "not gonna go there with you, buddy," as he walks away.
Basically, every interaction Marty and Jimmy T. have had this week has ended with Marty walking away almost immediately. I wonder if Jimmy T. notices this or is aware that it could be a problem? Anyway, Jimmy T. 's outburst has now given Marty all the fuel he needs to make a case for voting him out. He tells us that Jimmy T. doesn't understand the dynamics of this game or how a comment like that will ensure that he is the to go. That's probably because Jimmy T. doesn't see how Espada could possibly get along without him, and thinks his spot is fairly secure as long as they desperately need challenge competitors who aren't old ladies or tiny mobsters with bad knees. Which makes sense to me; I think you'd be crazy to get rid of Jimmy T. right now. But I also don't know what's like to live with him 24/7. Marty vents to Yve, who doesn't seem to think it's that big of a deal and doesn't want the camera time anyway.
After the break, a praying mantis chows down on some unfortunate bug's face while Jane pretends to have any idea what's going on this game and says she's voting for Dan tonight. Holly is just thrilled it isn't her. Meanwhile, Jill tries to convince Marty to get rid of Dan, but Marty insists on keeping Dan around for a little while longer, as they'll need his "critical swing vote" tonight to get rid of Jimmy T. "Whatever you say," Jill sighs. Marty assigns her to talk to Tyrone and lock in his vote. Apparently, the lack of food has caused Jill's brain to digest itself, as she goes off to do that with little protest. Damn. Hey, remember last week when Jill was awesome and smart? I miss those days. Marty says that keeping Dan and getting rid of Jimmy T. will give Marty's alliance "the numbers" for the three Tribal Councils, all of which Espada will probably be attending since they're only going to suck that much more in challenges. Also, Marty adds, it'll be great to lose Jimmy T. because he's really annoying.
Jill talks to Tyrone. He says he's trying to decide between Dan and Jimmy T. Jill, of course, thinks he should vote for Jimmy T., but Tyrone says he's siding with voting Dan out, due to his inability to do everything. Jill admits in an interview that she agrees with Tyrone, but has to side with Marty. She tells Marty that she tried to talk to Tyrone, but doesn't think she'll be able to convince him to vote for Jimmy T. over Dan. Marty then tries to work his magic on Tyrone, who again says his first choice tonight is Dan, since he can't do anything in the mud and, as Tyrone points out, every challenge they've had so far has been in the mud. Marty has no choice but to go with the time-honored "____ is a cancer on the tribe" argument, saying that Jimmy T. is too "volatile" and keeps asking to be the tribe leader, which Marty thinks it's obvious he would be terrible at. Tyrone just nods.
Jimmy T. heads to the beach to plead his case to the women, explaining over and over again that he just wants "one shot" at the challenge. Yve asks him what he would have done differently in the last challenge, and again, Jimmy T. doesn't have an answer for that. He says he doesn't know if there's anything he could have done that would give Espada the win, but wants "the opportunity" all the same. Now he's all bent out of shape because every time he raises his hand and asks for a chance, he's brushed aside. Then why does he keep raising his hand and asking for a chance? That kind of thing would tell me that my tribemates weren't interested in whatever I was offering, and I'd just save my efforts for the individual immunity challenges. Yve interviews that "sometimes silence is more powerful than speaking," especially in a social game like this. Not if you crave camera time, Yve. She says that Jimmy T. is very insecure underneath all of this posturing, and if he's not secure in his own abilities, then Yve certainly isn't going to be. "I'm a mother and I don't coddle my kids that much," she concludes. By the way, Holly was also in this scene, but she just sat there looking all bug-eyed and freaked out.
Jimmy T. prepares the urchins and interviews that he might be going home tonight because he can't shut up. He says that even though he talks all the damn time, no one seems to talk much to him, which makes him feel lonely. So I guess he has some sense of self-awareness here. "It's a tough group of people to get along with. And I'm easy to get along with," he says. Nevermind what I just said about him being self-aware. After a long afternoon of pretty much no last-minute scheming or scrambling on the part of anyone except Marty, we go to Tribal Council. Man, this was a boring episode. Even the usually fun blindfold challenge wasn't entertaining for me. Let's get this over with. Probst asks Tyrone why his tribe lost the challenge so badly. Tyrone says he thought their plan "worked out well," which gets a strong reaction from both Jimmy T. and Probst, who can't believe Tyrone is serious. Tyrone explains that the Medallion of Power was what tipped the scales in La Flor's favor. Marty agrees with Tyrone, saying that at the end of the challenge, they were only behind by one item. I don't even think that's true, but Probst points out that it was one item and a set of keys, finding the chest, unlocking it, and bringing it back to the mat.
Probst decides that Marty and Tyrone are either crazy or just trying to make themselves feel better and decides to make fun of Dan for a while instead. "You sat out of the challenge. Yet again," he says pointedly. Dan refuses to be ashamed, saying that mud is hard for him with his knee, but he'll "go up against anybody" as long as it's in favorable conditions. Probst points out that they're in a rain forest, so it's basically always going to be too muddy for Dan, and maybe he's "too much of a burden" on his tribe. Dan says he's only sitting out because he doesn't want to hurt the tribe, and he'll do it again, too. And he can if they keep doing these combo reward/immunity challenges and setting them up so that even the tribe that is down in members still gets to sit one of them out.
Probst asks Jill if Dan's knee issues factor in when deciding who to vote out. Jill claims that they do, and she's sick of losing challenges, especially after getting rid of an "NFL coach." The mention of Jimmy Johnson delights Probst, who asks Jimmy T. if it's "frustrating" to be without "leadership" after voting Jimmy Johnson out. I still fail to understand why Probst is so obsessed with tribes having leaders and assuming that Jimmy Johnson lead Espada, which I don't know that he really did. Jimmy T. says what Espada is doing right now obviously isn't working so they should try "mixing it up." And how, Probst asks (as if he doesn't know what Jimmy T.'s answer will be), should Espada mix things up? Of course, Jimmy T. thinks they should let him "lead" in an immunity challenge, but he says that no matter how many times he asks for this privilege, they won't go for it.
Probst then goes right for Marty and asks him if he's "open" to letting Jimmy T. lead the tribe in a challenge. "Not necessarily, no," Marty says. He continues that the tribe agreed that Tyrone should call the shots at this last challenge, and it's not always about being the best "leader" or having the most "leadership qualities," as evidenced by the fact that they voted out Jimmy Johnson. You have to be able to work with everyone in the tribe, Marty says, which means being "paranoid" or suffering from "delusions of grandeur. " Marty says that everyone's patience with Jimmy T. has been stretched "to the limit." Although I think he means that Marty's patience with Jimmy T. has been stretched to the limit, as other tribe members don't seem to be quite as fed up with Jimmy T. as Marty is. Jimmy T. claims that it's "fine" if Espada doesn't want him to lead them, but they might as well since they're sucking so bad without his amazing leadership skills. And then Holly speaks up to defend Jimmy T., saying that all Jimmy T. is asking for is a chance and they should give it to him before deciding he can't do it. This pumps Jimmy T. up somewhat, and he says he's a "valuable contributor" of both food and comfort, but apparently the rest of his tribe doesn't see him that way.
And suddenly, Probst is asking Tyrone if Jimmy T. can "change" and therefore be valuable to their tribe. Tyrone says he can, and he's still valuable now even when he isn't being "a follower." He would have more value, though, if he just went with the flow. Probst asks Jimmy T. if he can accept the tribe's preferred role for him as a follower, not a leader. Jimmy T. has said on multiple occasions that he will do whatever the rest of the tribe decides. He'll say it again, too. And then he'll start nagging everyone to let him be a challenge leader again. Jimmy T. starts to say that he will be a follower, but gets too choked up to continue. "Why does it hurt so much?" Probst asks, really twisting the knife. Jimmy T. can't answer because he's about to start bawling, so Tyrone speaks up and tells him to take this opportunity to realize that there are things he can do to be a better person or whatever. "And move forward from there," he says. Yeah, move forward right through that stupid prop graveyard and off the show. Why bother giving Jimmy T. false hope that he's going to get another chance if Tyrone is planning to vote him out anyway? I don't get it. Jimmy T. says that he's a man of his word, and if he's giving his word that he'll be a worker bee for this tribe, then he will. With that, they vote.
Holly votes for Dan, saying "sorry about your shoes." HA! Remember when Holly was ridiculous? That second episode of this season had so much promise. Dan votes for Jimmy T. Jimmy T. votes for Dan. And Marty votes for Jimmy T., saying "see ya, pal," and managing to sound less sincere than Holly when she apologized for ruining Dan's shoes. And just to be especially cruel and crush Jimmy T.'s spirit all the more, Probst reads off three votes for Dan and gives him false hope before revealing five votes for Jimmy T. He's too devastated to do or say much, although Jane is so upset about Jimmy T. leaving that her mouth is blurred. Marty, of course, looks pretty satisfied with himself.
