But Shamar has allies! Sherri is bringing Shamar in to make a six. Shamar seems thrilled, even though being the last one in an alliance means you’re the one everyone thinks is expendable. Sherri’s six has all the normal-looking people - Laura, Julia, Matt, and Mike as well as Shamar and Sherri herself. Sherri has big plans for Shamar – she says he is her Phillip with the bonus that she gets on with him, and she wants to keep him around. Sherri’s game advice to Shamar is to “keep talking and run your mouth... bitch about water.” Shamar is all over that.
Over on “favorites” beach, Brandon and Cochran are having an eerily quiet conversation about how Brandon is further down the totem pole than before. He admits to Cochran that he was planning on sabotaging everything, like losing beans and throwing challenges, but now he’s woken up to the fact that he’ll be seen as a quitter and he’ll lose what may be his last chance at providing for his children through mediocre celebrity-dom.
Cochran interviews that the scary thing about Brandon is that he goes through “moments of extreme rage” followed by “unbelievable pleasantness." After comparing Brandon to a sociopathic murderer, Cochran says he doesn’t want Brandon around because he’s unpredictable. Priorities! Get rid of the unpredictables first, worry about the sociopaths later.
Phillip strolls up and Brandon asks whether Phillip can trust him. Phillip acts like a computer program: “Trust or Don’t Trust? Don’t have enough data yet. Think I’m going to pause." He explains that when people start work for a company, they can’t be a CEO right away. They have to start lower, like middle-management. Middle-management, the lowest of the low! Brandon is not thrilled with the idea of middle-management, but then who is? Phillip then interviews about how Brandon is “narcistic” and he doesn’t have empathy for others.
Meanwhile, Brandon has immediately gone to tell everyone (at least, Corinne, Erik, Dawn and Brenda) else that Phillip is the biggest bully, acting like the CEO of the tribe and keeping Brandon on a need-to-know basis. It’s not all bad in middle management, Brandon. You could be stuck filling out TPS forms like your underlings. Brandon describes Phillip as “Special Agent Pink Panther” and talks about how he’s treating people like garbage and going all Boston Rob on the tribe.
Day 5. Probst sighting! “Come on in guys!”. The “fans” get their first look at the new Francesca-free tribe and they all laugh. Then Phillip drops the tribe flag, and Probst laughs in this “Oh, that is classic Phillip” way. Anyway, immunity? B.U.F.G!
Three tribe members from each tribe will race to a raft, and when they are on board another three will pull a rope to send the raft out to a platform connected to an underwater cage. The people on the raft will then take turns diving to release sticks stuck through the cage mesh to release floating rings. When they have all nine rings, they return to shore and hand over the rings to the three tribe members who haven’t done anything get, and they try to toss the rings onto posts.
