Sherri is over there trying to form a new alliance, talking with Andrea and Brenda and completely dishing the dirt, including all the stuff about the hidden immunity idol. She describes Eddie as “a wonderful guy, when he’s not with Reynold.”

Over at Bikal, we learn that Corinne likes “her gays,” referring to Mike. She goes on to say that “if I was a moron who hadn’t played this game before, I would turn on my alliance to align with a gay.” That’s how much she likes gays. Yay for stereotyping!

Meanwhile, Phillip is talking with Julia and saying he would like to make a big move, and he was ready to be a double agent. He describes Julia as very, very smart, but not college-educated like him. Julia asks what Phillip sees in her to approach her. “I tend to like people who do things that are extraordinary.” Have we seen Julia do anything extraordinary? Julia looks very unconvinced, because she knows she’s the Ann Veal of her tribe.

Phillip also tells Julia that most people underestimate him because of his pink underwear. Does he strut around wearing nothing but those fuchsia Y-fronts in his normal life?

Malcolm and Andrea go into the jungle and swap notes, including that Reynold had an idol. News to Malcolm. “So far, I couldn’t ask for more from a dysfunctional group of people,” interviews Malcolm. Also, Andrea had a dream that Malcolm had the idol. Malcolm, who probably spent his break between seasons staring into a mirror practicing the line “No, I don’t have an idol” says that he doesn’t have an idol. In interview, he says that Andrea is a smart girl, but he’s an accomplished liar when it comes to women. Smooth.

Back on Bikal, Phillip fills in Corinne about his chat with Julia, and says that he thinks she could work with Stealth R Us. It takes a lot of willpower for Corinne to calmly say “I’m not concerned with getting a flipper,” instead of “how many freaking people are you going to give names to? We don’t need more people.” Maybe it’s not a bad move from Phillip’s perspective to make everyone think they have a chance to move forward with him, but it plays hell with his real alliance’s nerves. Corinne wonders if the country is in such a mess because of Federal agents like Phillip.

Corinne then tells Dawn, who gives such a big double-take that the Amazon probably got flattened by the resulting storm. “I’m just glad he’s with us,” Dawn says, her face scrunched up with disbelief, “he can’t be left alone.” “Phillip needs a warm glass of shut the hell up,” agrees Corinne.

Probst sighting! Immunity challenge! It looks a lot like the box challenge they didn’t use last week because Brandon decided to chuck a massive wobbly. Waste not, want not I guess.

Anyway, tribes send members out in pairs to roll the heavy crates back to where they started. Then they use the big boxes to build a stair that says “Fans vs. Favorites”. After a minute to strategize, they are off.
