Yay! Sherri's bounced back and she's Bad.
She's talking about karma and bitches and she has a plan. She's already got Phillip wrapped around her bikini and from the looks of it he's crushing on her bigtime. She's even inspired him to drive Malcolm out of his mind.
What a Tribal Council! At first I was shocked, shocked, shocked when Malcolm grabbed Reynold's idol after voting for him because I thought he'd turned more ruthless than anyone we've seen on any episode ever.
Throwing an ally into the fire by manipulating their idol out of them is brutal - much more brutal than what the Black Widow alliance did to Erik in his first season because it was obvious that they weren't on his side at the time. He was just too dense to realise it. It's a
very different situation with Reynold and Malcolm.
But then, after calming down, I've decided that Malcolm did it because he was genuinely struck by manic paranoia that Andrea and Co. a.k.a Stealth "R" Us (
) were voting for him. This is what I think the inside of his mind sounded like after he heard Phillip say: "If we even
suspect you've got an idol we're going to vote you out."...
Inside Malcolm's mind:
F%$#@*&k!!! They've all voted for me. They know. They KNOW. They know!!! Hot. Sweat. They musn't see. The idol... I left it at camp!!! I was so unbelievably arrogant and stupid to think I was 100% safe that I didn't even bother to bring it. Idiot, idiot, idiot! I try to give off the impression that I'm such a playa but obviously I'm not, I'm a total loser.
What now??? My boyfriend. Reynold. He has an idol. And he's safe. If they didn't split the vote between Reynold and Eddie and cast all their votes for me then he'll be okay. In fact, he'll be so okay I've voted for him. He must give it to me. He must, he must, he MUST. GIVE it to me Reynold!
And so he did. And it was all for nothing. And now he needs to explain himself when they return to camp.
I definitely reckon that's what happened. Howz about you?
