Mikey B starts the week off all, "Oooookay," trying to explain to Joel that there was no need for a big power play against him when he was trying to accomplish the same thing Joel was trying to accomplish, but Joel (who is increasingly creepy, to say the least) has convinced himself that he has awakened the delusional Mikey with a baseball bat to the head. No, that"s really what he says.
Over at Malakal, Jonathan and Cirie are competing to be first to break my heart by being way less cool than they used to be, because he continues to be blinded by his hate of Parvati to the point where every discussion becomes about getting rid of her, while Cirie is taking her "swing vote" status to an extreme while apparently failing to recognize the extreme danger she places herself in -- both now and in the future -- by making it obvious that her vote is for sale. Despite the fact that Cirie knows, and says, that people had better beg and plead for her vote, she somehow decides to believe it when Amanda and Parvati swear that they"re tooootally going to F3 together.
A reward challenge goes Malakal"s way, sending Kathy to Exile Island -- again. This time, she"s with Ami, who can"t figure out the clues to the idol as Kathy and Cirie easily did. Ha! So much for Ami"s "smart cookie" posturing. After Airai spends a horrible night waiting out a storm -- unfortunately, this tribe of "superfans" are the worst at sheltering and caring for themselves since Rupert dug his All-Stars tribe into a hole -- they pull out a victory in the immunity challenge, sending Malakal to tribal council. Jonathan"s specialty is not diplomacy when cornered, so he comes on sort of strong with Cirie, who acts defensive and self-important in response, and I kind of don"t like either of them in this particular exchange, so my little heart is broken.
STOP HAVING ALL-STAR SEASONS OF THINGS THAT RUIN PEOPLE I LIKE.
In the end, Cirie declares that she"s voting for Yau-Man no matter what (based, apparently, on his being a big threat), and for some reason, everyone seems to think that going against Cirie is suicide, so the couples and Cirie (and a self-preserving Eliza) get rid of Yau-Man, while Jonathan and Yau-Man vote for Parvati and Ami pulls her usual "I will be unique" bullshit and votes for Cirie, irrelevantly. This season is so bad.
