Hello, good people, and welcome to the wonderful world of the BOP Survivor Recap. When last we hung out, Parvati whined, Jonathan ate, Candice was Exiled and Yul was a small slip-up to Becky away from claiming the title of "Smartest Person to Ever Play Survivor." He can still claim the title by maneuvering into the Finals next week. Oh, and by the way, Candice finally got her due and was sent packing. And Jiffy Jeff Probst reminded us all why he is the best reality TV host in the business. After Adam and Candice's sloppy kiss goodbye, Jeff observed, "Well a kiss is nice. Maybe if it were love, he'd have given you the immunity necklace." That's quite enough reminiscing for me; let's get to the new stuff.

We begin after the vote with Jonathan talking about how ugly Tribal Council got. If he has to be the bad guy, fine. But he's not going to let Parvati and Adam ruin everything he's been working towards.

The next morning we start the day with Ozzy bringing in a ton of fish. The ladies are chopping coconuts and amazingly enough, Parvati is actually helping. And wouldn't you know it - she finally does something and slices her thumb. Really badly. Badly enough that the medical team has to come in and put a stitch to hold her thumb together. And Adam, gentleman that he is, expresses concern over having his only alliance mate cut herself. What a doofus.

Probst sighting! The reward challenge has Survivors taking a small bucket and filling it with water in the ocean. They will then fill up a larger bucket. The bucket will lower and a flag will be raised. First person to raise their flag will be taken to another island where locals will take them to a sacred cave and they will feast. The winner will also send someone to Exile Island.

Everyone get your hankies. Jeff's brings out the family members, including Jonathan's wife, Parvati's dad, Adam's dad, Becky's sister, Yul's brother, Ozzy's mom and Sundra's mom. Of course, the winner will share the reward with the loved one. And there's another twist. The loved ones will be helping in the challenge. To update the rules, the Survivors will be blindfolded as they try to get the water from the ocean. The loved ones will direct them. When they get to a bar, they'll toss the water into a bucket held by the loved ones and they'll put it the larger bucket. Survivors ready? Go. It's actually quite difficult to tell who's doing well. Jonathan, Parvati and Ozzy seem to having a good run. Adam, Becky and Yul aren't doing so hot. Jonathan's wife is using the method of wringing her hair and shirt into the bucket. It turns into a two person race - Jonathan and Parvati. Parvati wins the reward. First order of business is to pick someone to go to Exile Island. Naturally, she sends Jonathan. Now, she gets to take two other people with her. But in a shakeup, her dad gets to choose with no help from Parvati. He chooses Sundra and Adam.

Parvati is feeling quite proud of herself and believing she has a shot at winning this thing. Adam and Sundra agree that there's probably no way they could have explained their experiences to people, so having family members there to see it is really special. Ozzy is quite annoyed with the extra people there. He's feeling a little bummed because he's spent so much time helping to provide for them so that they could win that challenge. Once the winners leave, Yul, Ozzy and Becky revel in having the beach to themselves. Yul talks about how nice it would be to have that final three for the last couple days.

On to the native feast. This is another one of those once in a lifetime things. And to share it with someone from home must have been amazing. The cave they're taken to is absolutely subllime. A fresh water lake lives in there and it's truly a beautiful sight. The Survivors are allowed to participate in a religious blessing of the cave and the pool. And then everyone gets to dive in. I mean, how cool is that? And then it's fried chicken, meat loaf, biscuits and everything else needed for a great picnic. Sundra tells us that Adam and Parvati are much more easy going when Jonathan's not around. They got a chance to do a lot of talking.

We come back to camp and Ozzy asks what they think they should do about the food. He's sick of feeding Adam and Parvati and having them win. Yul suggests hiding the food for a couple days. Everyone's in. And I'm just not sure how this will turn out. Ozzy tells us that for Adam, Parvati and Jonathan, there will be no more coconuts. He doesn't want to feed people who beat him. This brings to mind how this show is almost as much about the edit as it is about the people. I say this because for weeks now, we've been shown Jonathan bringing in the fish and providing for everyone. Yet now, we have Yul and Becky saying that Ozzy provides most of the food for the tribe. Who knew? And on the whole hiding food thing, I think that's an incredibly risky play. Not calling them for dinner is one thing. To actually deprive them of food is totally another. And I know people will say that they should get up off their lazy asses and get it themselves. But this far into the game, do they even know how? I'm not really liking this play very much. I think a good deal of it has to do with the fact that I really like Yul and Ozzy and this is something I would think they would be above. It will definitely prove interesting over the next little bit.

Ozzy tells us that Adam is the biggest and eats the most. He says that if you can't get your own food at this point, you shouldn't be in the game. And then the irony arrives as Adam, Parvati and Sundra come back with a ton of food from the challenge. Um, how's that whole hiding food thing feeling to you now? Becky tells us that the plan kinda went out the window when their tribemates pulled out all the food. Whew! I'm so glad to hear that. I didn't like where that was going.
