Anyway, Malcolm approaches Sherri first. “We’re on the bottom. Best case if we stay is eighth and seventh for us.” He spells out a plan where they can control things if they have five votes, because the alliance will split the vote between Eddie and Reynold. “The ‘favorites’ think they have eight people,” he interviews. Do they really think that? Did they not count the votes last episode and realize that he voted with Corinne? For Sherri? Does he think that Erik – who he knows voted with Stealth R Us – didn’t tell them that Malcolm is not with them?

Malcolm then makes the same pitch to Dawn. “If we’re going to do something, it has to be now." “Yeah, but how?” “There’s six people, if you’re in.” Dawn is rubbing her face, which is exactly what she did last week when talking with Corinne. You know the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry explains that the higher up the face you scratch the bigger the lie? Dawn is on her upper lip. Why do people think she’s telling them the truth?

Anyway, Dawn interviews that Malcolm’s “gonna be a problem." “Let me talk to Sherri... and then talk to you” she tells him. “It would be great if I could give him the impression I was voting with him, and then we could just take him out” she interviews. So Sherri is already filling Andrea in on her chat with Malcolm, when Dawn comes up to do the same. Andrea quickly concocts a plan. “I think we tell him we are splitting the vote, we make him think that he’s pulling this great blind-side." Sherri and Dawn will go along with it, and they’ll vote Malcolm out. Good plan.

Phillip is informed, though it looked like he may have been there when Sherri was spilling. “Malcolm has been playing double duty... He’s been trying to play me as if he’s still part of the core alliance. Me, the Specialist,” he snorts. So we see him telling Malcolm about the plan to split the vote between Reynold and Eddie. This can’t be so simple can it? We’re only 20 minutes into the show.

After the break, we have soft music as we see Eddie and Andrea swimming in the lagoon. “Eddie’s really hot,” she interviews, obviously not having spoken with him much yet. “So, maybe we’re dating. I dunno, is this island dating?” That was a date? I think in real life, Andrea might be a Stage 5 Clinger. But she says the more she plays Eddie, the more likely he’ll vote for her at Final Tribal or give her information.

But Eddie’s overtures may also be part gameplay, because he says he will do whatever he needs to do, including voting the way Andrea says. Andrea considers this, while he pushes. Eddie wants to know what happens to Andrea after the fans are voted out and says that he could be an asset to her. “But you won’t vote against Reynold and you won’t vote against Malcolm.” “If I have to.” In interview, Eddie says that he needs someone to drag him along for a couple of weeks before he “can get up on my own feet and start punching people."
