Does she really race through busy city streets? At least that's not boring.

Julia actually gets an interview of her very own, where she talks about how she doesn’t find Phillip intimidating at all. All she can do at this point is obey him, because it’s her one chance of staying. And then she says something about “Phillip will destroy the unity of the tribe by driving everyone crazy, so why not get rid of him?” Turns out Julia isn’t a very good player after all. Oh well.

Over at Gota, Malcolm is thinking about putting together a foursome as there are 13 left and there’ll probably be 12 come a merge. His pitch to Reynold is that there are four alpha males – the two of them plus Eddie and Erik – who are going to be targeted after the merge. Reynold is all over this, blabbing about how he and Eddie are tight. Reynold claims in interview that in a game like Survivor, you can’t trust anyone and you have to rely on instincts. Then he goes on: “Malcolm strikes me as a guy who’s like me. This one feels right, or it’ll be the nail in the coffin for me if I’m wrong." Doesn’t he realize that a guy just like Reynold is exactly not who you should be trusting in this game? Who should know that better than Reynold himself?

But apparently he just doesn’t get it, because he blabs to Malcolm about how he has an idol. Dummy. Malcolm gleefully interviews that he trusts Reynold because “he has gone so over the top” by telling him about it, and now he knows where both idols are he will be able to make a move. He says he is looking forward to when he is in control of this game, which means he is doomed.

At Bikal, Dawn is urgently saying “we have to talk” to someone. Surprisingly, it’s Julia. Has anyone actually needed to talk to Julia since the switch? Julia proves that she will never make double-agent status because she immediately tells Dawn the very thing Phillip told her not to tell – which was that Phillip was thinking about her coming along with them post-merge. She feels both “indebted” and “bullied” about this.

Dawn is intrigued by this because she wasn’t aware that Julia has been thinking about the game at all – obviously because no one has been talking to Julia, or even noticing she is there. When Julia’s not around, Dawn and Corinne and Cochran are probably all wondering “who’s Julia?” Julia is doing some wondering of her own. “What if everyone overthrew Phil? I’m not saying that’s what I want to do, but I want to understand the dynamics.” “I’m not going to tell a single thing to anybody,” says Dawn.

Of course, Dawn goes to tell Phillip that Julia said Phil wanted to work with her post-merge (but not that Julia hinted at dumping Phillip), and gets the reaction “She’s an idiot. I specifically told her not to tell everyone.” Dawn is too diplomatic to ask, “what are you doing making side alliances without telling the group?” and instead says “that’s why I told you”. Nicely played, Dawn. Phillip interviews about how about Julia has “committed several faux pas."
