She Saw It Coming

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. No, not Ravu winning a challenge -- they lose both again. First, they lose the reward challenge after several of them turn out to be kind of bad at shooting baskets and/or extremely bad at running and sliding on slippery surfaces. You'll just have to trust me. So Moto takes home even more fishing gear and sends Sylvia back to Exile Island, where she gets a clue that basically says "Look here for the idol, dummy." She only returns when the immunity challenge comes along, and it turns out it's an eating competition. Much of Ravu fails to deliver, and in the end, Gary (also known as "Papa Smurf") faces off with Anthony and is faster on the draw at eating pig snouts than Anthony is, so Ravu loses again. Mookie is in the mood to get rid of Anthony, because he can't understand that eating a big dry hairy pig snout might be harder than eating a little wet slimy worm, so he thinks Anthony is a wimp. But in the end, the tribe is pretty confident that Sylvia isn't going to pop out the idol, so they throw the majority of the votes to her, with a few Anthony votes as a backup in case she does have the idol. (And a random Earl vote to avoid the 4-4 tie.) It turns out that Sylvia just didn't have time to look for the idol between the challenge and tribal council, so she doesn't have it. Sylvia heads home, and the tribe most likely is thinking it might have been better off booting her in the last episode. Alliances still appear very loose, but Anthony seems to be on the outs, and should be hoping for a victory next week. Oh, and Ravu finally has fire, thanks to Michelle and a pair of glasses. That much, at least, is a relief.
