Survivor: Micronesia Recap - - Episode Eleven

After Ozzy’s shocking exit last week, the stunned campers sit around and talk about what happened. Erik says that he understands the fact that they had to blindside Oz, and it’s a good thing they didn’t tell him because Erik would have told Ozzy out of loyalty. Which of course translates into: NO ONE CAN TRUST ERIK. Thinking further about it, he says it was a good decision though. Amanda and James talk about what happened. Amanda is very upset that Parvati and Cirie went behind her back to get rid of Ozzy. James says it was a good power move, but Amanda is adamant that the other girls aren’t going to make her look like an idiot. She says she realizes they want the men out, so it’s Game On! James has a nasty cut on his finger. Cirie tells him he shouldn’t just dismiss it as nothing since they are on a deserted island with bats, rats, and feces. James puts coconut oil on it and keeps going. Parvati walks up to the camp and says, “I just did three laps around this island looking for you!” James asks her who she’s talking to. She tells him she is talking to him, and asks him where he’s been. James is pissed. Parvati realizes she needs to do some damage control with both James and Amanda. Parvati pulls James aside first. The conversation was too good to summarize. Here it is in its entirety:

James: What’s your plan?
Parvati: I couldn’t win against Ozzy.
James: So, what is your plan?
Parvati: I want three girls to make it to the final. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you.
James: Sorry isn’t what you mean. Ha Ha is what you mean.
Parvati: I just want to talk, because I like you and don’t want things to be awkward.
James: Oh, it’s gonna be awkward. (then he laughs at her) You are just funny. Always got to eat
the apple. Can’t just leave the apple alone and enjoy the heavens. Knew it from the first day I saw you. Hope you make it.
Parvati: Yeah, hopefully I will, ‘cause you wouldn’t give me credit for having a plan anyways.
James: Why would I?
Parvati: You’ve been treating me like I’m stupid.
James: Don’t try to sound pitiful, and don’t insult my intelligence.
Parvati: I just wanted to talk to you.
James: And you have.

I loved it!!!! Can’t you tell? There was something so sexy about him dismissing her like that. Next, Parvati approached Amanda. There wasn’t any drama, but Amanda decided to let Parvati think she’s still her friend. Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer…

SURVIVOR AUCTION TIME

Jeff assembles everyone for an auction. They each have $500 in increments of $20. Jeff brings out covered trays and the bidding wars begin. Cirie pays $120 for the first tray; it’s a hot dog, fries and all the fixin’s. Erik pays $80 for the second tray, but takes Jeff up on an offer to trade it for the next blind item, which he does. Good thing. The original bid was for a jar of octopus. And I don’t mean calamari. I mean a pet. Instead, he gets nachos. Natalie bids $240 for the next item, but it’s fruity bat soup, complete with hair and teeth. She declines and James takes it, ripping into it like the hungry, muscle laden man he is. Amanda pays $280 for a glass of milk and a PB&J sandwich. $240 gets Natalie a bottle with a note: “Send one person to Exile Island and take their money.” She asks Jeff if the immunity idol has been replaced. He tells her a new one was hidden, and she sends Jason back to Exile Island. Next, Natalie pays $380 for a chocolate cake, with a twist. I thought the twist was the cake had bugs all over it, but apparently, those were sprinkles. My bad. Jeff gives her an envelope, and the twist is she and three friends have 60 seconds to eat as much cake as they can. She chooses Alexis, Parvati and Cirie. They tear into the cake as Amanda watches the new BFF’s from the sidelines. In what can only be described as something that should only happen in Amsterdam after a few strong drinks, Erik gives $40 to Cirie to lick the chocolate off her fingers.

HMM…WILL HE FIND THE IDOL?

Parvati questions Natalie’s decision to send Jason back to Exile Island. So does everyone else. Over on the island, Jason reads and deciphers the clues and finds a real idol this time. Being the sweet gymnastics teacher that he is, he says he totally trusts Natalie and feels she has his back in the game. Natalie, however, is sitting by a tree interviewing that she is concocting a plan to get Jason to trust her, which he totally shouldn’t do, and then after he’s gone with his little idol, she can work on getting James and Erik out and have an island of female competitors. She says that Erik will be safe one more week since it’s his birthday and although she’s admittedly cruel, she’s not totally insensitive. I thought Cirie was bad, but Natalie has replaced Jim Jones.
