Adam and Denise start out talking about getting rid of Parvati. Adam's trying to make a lot of moves which could come back to bite him.

On the other tribe Tyson wants to take out Sandra. Sandra then uses their net to trap a shark. Yul tells Sandra Tyson's targeting her. Bad news for Tyson.

Back on Estrogen, er Extinction Isle they get a puzzle to solve and Amber and Natalie each think they know the solution. Natalie gets it right. She gets a steal a vote advantage that she can sell for one fire token. Sarah gets gifted the steal a vote option, but it's hidden in a torch at the rival tribe, so she'll have to sneak into the other camp to get it. She plans to use Tony as an assistant. (By the way Tony reminds me of the guy on the Animal Planet's show "Tanked.") Sarah finds the steal a vote in one of the torches and heads back to her camp.

Sandra sits out the immunity challenge. Rob's doing a puzzle again and is doing better this week. Sandra's team wins immunity by a hair. They also get chicken kabobs. 

Now for the scheming on who to evict. Adam and Denise think they can get rid of Parvati. Camp is a bit tense as everyone waits to see who is going to get voted out. Adam feels out Rob about voting out Parvati. He thinks telling Rob the truth will help him. Ha! Rob then starts rallying votes to blindside Adam. Some of the rest want to target Ethan. 

Time for tribal. Adam mentions the statue built of Rob and becomes an even bigger target for Rob. Time to vote. No idol is played. Ethan goes off to no longer Estrogen Island. He leaves his fire token for Parvati. (Adam dodged a bullet, but is in big trouble going forward. He's playing a bit too hard and Parvati and Rob will go hunting in the near future.) Ethan arrives at Extinction. That's it for this week.

Not sure Ethan was the best vote.  Adam is a sneaky one, but, if Rob and Parv make the merge, they will be hard to get rid of.  Ben tends to talk too much too.

Of course, Sandra sat out.  She's won twice already and she won't go easily.

Natalie is always thinking.  Her extinction mates may be underestimating her.

For anyone who didn't see it last week I posted that many of you and many people out there said they didn't want to watch returnees, don't enjoy it.

The ratings for last week's show were the highest since the May finale!  Word of mouth

Get rid of Denise!  She snuck in under the wire lsat time and she could again.

I was interrupted -- who was the guy sleeping by the torches when Sarah was there?

@gardenman   Very good summation of tonight's episode.

I am so glad that Adam wasn't ousted tonight.  He's such a schemer that he is a joy to watch imo.  Ethan - the mildest and meekest of the OG's was baffling to me why he was the chosen one to go.  Why did they decide upon him?  I must have blinked or something.

I luv the team of Cops R Us.  Gosh, was I nervous for Sarah.  And Tony trying to camoflage her forehead so she'd blend in better was too funny.  I hope they both go far in the game.  So entertaining.

I am a bit confused about the 2 piece idol.  Adam gave a piece back to Denise?  So now she is able to use the 2 pieces together as a regular idol?  Doesn't have to be split up w/anyone? 

I'm routing for Natalie on EOE island.  She is a good player and she's likeable.  She also appears to be physically very strong.  I wouldn't mind seeing her re-enter the game.  Of the 4 there now, she's my top pick  for re-entry.

They didn't show the tribe enjoying their reward of chicken kabobs.  I always like to see them eating and enjoying their food rewards.  We also didn't get to see who voted for who at the end.  Adam appeared clueless.  I assume the 3 votes for Adam were from Rob, Ethan and Parvati.  The vote for Parvati had to be from Adam.  And all the others voted for Ethan I assume.  Til next week.....Same bat time, same bat channel....

Good that Extinction got some testosterone--Bad that it's Ethan's. 

I saw two pictures of the comedian, body builder half of the Cops R Us alliance online today. I tried to post them but for some reason I couldn't. He was huge! Kinda looked like Arnold Scharznegger's body with the face of a young brunette Tony, lol. Oh well! 

Such a close challenge tonight. I was on the edge of my seat.

Natalie is killing it on Extinction Island. I was rooting for Amber but she's just not as sharp as Nat. I'll be rooting for Ethan but don't have much hope for him now. 

The scene with Tony painting Sarah's face was funny. They made a point to show us someone waking up while she was there but then...nothing. Maybe it was too dark for him to see anything.

I try to pick a fave player and stick with h/her until I have to select a new fave. Yul is mine so far.

I envy you, Jeanlake, I've tried to pick a favorite and can't do it. I do like Yul a lot too but I'm kind of mad at him for ratting out Tyson to Sandra. Not cool, lol! 

[luvmyteddy4]

Seriously why Ethan.

I can't believe they don't vote out Sandra, Rob or Pav!

To me there's a big difference in having a couple players return compared to a season of all winners. Personally, I'm loving it.

Not sure who the guy that woke up was. He looked to be blond with a facial hair but I honestly couldn't tell who it was. And sometimes their hair color switches--blonds look brunette and vice versa in the night vision lights. If I figure it out I'll let you know.
