Previously on Gentlemen Prefer To Ridicule Blondes: James wound up with two immunity idols stuffed in his giant pants (you heard me), and Jaime and Erik thought there might be a third. There wasn't. Finding herself just about out of options, Jaime offered up the non-idol just in case, and Jeff Probst hurled it into the fire like it was a scroll containing insults directed at his dead relatives -- his cutest dead relatives. Jaime was sent home, and a lot of people who were mistreated by cheerleaders in high school got their revenge by making up blonde jokes about her.
Hae Da Fung, Night 21. After tribal council, everyone returns to camp with the night-vision cameras close behind. Jean-Robert points out that he was pretty shaken up when Jaime pulled out the plaque from her bag, and Amanda agrees. J-R interviews that he was seriously wetting his droopy pants with fear when Jaime pulled out the idol, until he realized that it wasn't real. We watch a snake encircle a shoe, apparently pining for feet, as Erik stands at the edge of the shelter, trying to find a polite way to ask J-R to move his bulky frame a little so that everyone can have a place to sleep. James takes up the Rocky-esque "be a man" position, taunting Erik that he appears "scared" to ask J-R to move over. It's safe to say that the guy the other guy is accusing of being "scared" is usually preferable to the guy calling out the other guy for being "scared." And I'm not scared to say so. James decides to insert himself into the situation, trying to show up Erik by telling J-R to move, referring to Erik as "the poor boy." You know what? He sucks. I'm sorry, CBS, for ignoring your heroism-themed promos, but he is patronizing and he sucks. I was a reasonably early adopter of TiVo and PDAs and a very early adopter of "Rupert sucks," and I am proud to be an early adopter of "James also sucks." Anyway, James continues to assault the manliness of the other guys in camp, mockingly asking J-R if he wants "a hug" after J-R expresses unhappiness about having come so close to going home. I'm all for making fun of Jean-Robert, certainly, but the fact that James appears unable to come up with an insult other than variations on "okay, Gertrude" is kind of disappointing. James interviews that they have to keep J-R's "dumb ass" around and not tell him about the idols. James's ass, of course, was brilliant enough to receive the immunity idols when Todd essentially handed them to him.
