So Shamar challenges Reynold. “What are you going to do about it?” Reynold says to nobody’s surprise that he will be voting for Shamar, and that everyone should bow down and accept his decision. Reynold has spoken! What actual Survivor fan would do this? It’s a good thing that Survivor casts people who’ve never seen the show before, otherwise we’d have fewer people to mock.

Anyway, Shamar thinks this is great and there’s no problem at all. “So then vote! This is easy!” In interview, Shamar talks about Reynold’s dramatic scene, and then back at camp we see Shamar calling out Reynold, saying that Reynold’s alliance didn’t just decide they were voting for Shamar, and he’s trying to make this big thing to sway other people's opinions.

Allie is not complementary of Shamar in interview, saying that she knows what it’s like to want to throw a challenge after spending five days with him. Anyway, Reynold, Eddie and Matt immediately and obviously go into the bushes to go talk about Shamar and Shamar mocks them and calls out “shut up!” if they mention his name. Anyway, Matt talks with Eddie and Reynold about how he obviously wants to get rid of Shamar because of their big fight last episode. But in interview, he tells us about the tight bond he has with Mike and how they have to decide which way to vote.

Now, Mike, Matt and Sherri are talking on the beach about Shamar or “one of them." Sherri says “one of them” but Matt is pushing for Shamar. His reasoning is that everyone will be happy, and the pretty alliance will think that Matt is still with them. Way to commit, Matt. Sherri obviously doesn’t want the pretty alliance to think anyone is with them after tonight’s vote, and reassures Matt that once Shamar realises he is not going home, he will “chill out." Laura comes up to the conversation, and Sherri asks who she would vote for. She says “one of the girls... Allie”, then explains in interview that she’s the only one on the pretty alliance that’s actually thinking.

Meanwhile, Reynold has heard of something called a hidden immunity idol, and he goes off to look for it. “It’s usually under the trees,” he says, and our schadenfreude is fed when he reaches in and brings out a rock. But then he looks in another hole in the same tree and there’s a goddamn hidden immunity idol in there. “Boom! Good to know!” bros Reynold, before looking for a hidden immunity brewski to celebrate.

Reynold interviews that he’s very excited to have the hidden immunity idol – which is a small necklace on a string, and more discreet than other hidden immunity idols we’ve seen. – but he has to “check myself, and not walk back with a stupid grin." He wraps the idol in the note, and then wraps the note in the cloth it came in, making it much more obvious than he needs to.

So of course, when they are all about to set out for Tribal Council, Laura sees a bulge in Reynold’s pants. She interviews that it could possibly be a hidden immunity idol, and that she can’t talk with anyone on her alliance about it right now because she’s here doing this stupid interview.
