Things get underway this week with a reward challenge, which is gruesomely mishandled by Todd, Amanda, James, and Jean-Robert, who essentially "win" some alone time for Erik, Peih-Gee, Denise, Courtney, and Frosti. Nothing like being rewarded with the bottom half of your alliance and the people your alliance is trying to vanquish getting to spend some time out of your presence. Sure enough, this leads to plotting, including participation from a disenchanted Denise, whose closeness with James seems not to be what it once was. Over at the reward meal, they all receive another clue to the hidden immunity idol, and self-professed person-reading genius Jean-Robert embarrasses himself by (1) never having thought before that maybe there was a hidden idol and that was what all the secret scrolls were about; and (2) having no clue that everyone in the room except him not only has known all along, but knows right where the idols already are. So he gets back to camp and looks for the idol (heh), only to conclude that he should pretend he has one and go try to threaten Erik with it. Erik"s kind of like, "Bzzzzt, James has them; ya burnt!" And J-R goes and tries to bully James. Good luck with that. The real genius kicks in when it becomes totally clear that Todd has no grand plan, no matter how hard he"s working to act like he does, because his new thing is that he"s mad at James and wants to "blindside" James at tribal council, hoping he won"t play an idol and will get booted. At the same time, however, J-R comes up with this same plan. Once he presents it to Todd, Todd decides that...nobody else can be the planner? Or something? So he goes to James and tells him about it, and they decide to return to a boot of Jean-Robert (for which Courtney is always game). So at tribal council, Jean-Robert, Peih-Gee, and Erik vote for James, while everybody else votes for Jean-Robert, and he goes home. It would appear that Erik and Peih-Gee erroneously believed that Frosti and Todd, at least, were voting with Jean-Robert"s blindsiding plan. So Todd somehow reacts with smugness, because there is some way in which having James continue in the game with two immunity idols is beneficial to him, as much as it might not be clear how, to the average person.
