Elsewhere, back at the shelter, Jon approaches the slumping Sandra. After all, Burton told him to.
Burton and Lill are still talking on the beach. She says she's almost ready to go herself -- she wants to go home to her husband and children and garden, because she's had it.
Jon tells Sandra that he would rather keep her than Lill or Darrah, going into the final three. "Offer the final three," she says, "Swear it on your grandma." He does. And then he does some more. He says she knows very well that he and Burton aren't going to turn on each other, but that they need a third person, and he wants her. "That's final three," he says. She again makes him swear on his grandmother, and he does it again. Meanwhile, Burton is working on Lill, asking whether she's willing to vote out Darrah. Lill reluctantly says that if Burton thinks that's what they should do, she'll go along with it. Jon, meanwhile, tells Sandra that he and Burton want her to vote out Darrah if she doesn't win immunity, and Lill if she does. Jon then dramatically tells Sandra that he wants her promise that she'll stick with him and Burton, and that there's only one promise that's adequate. He wants her to swear on her two kids -- and he wants to see her hands while she's doing it. As she explains somewhat disbelievingly in an interview, Jon apparently was afraid she would cross her fingers. As she correctly says with a laugh, "How dumb is that?" Sandra obligingly shows her hands to Jon and swears on her kids that she's with Jon and Burton to the final three. Sandra apparently doesn't actually believe that you will kill people by swearing on their lives. Imagine that. What I love about that is that based on what he said about Dead Old Granny Fairplay, Jon doesn't believe it either -- but he's sure Sandra does. That's what's so funny. Every single thing that these guys do wrong in this episode happens because they assume everyone else is stupider than they are. Anyway, in her interview, Sandra explains that, in her head, what she was saying was, "I swear on my kids that I'm going to screw you and Burton." Aw, I love it when people admit that they talk to themselves inside their heads. It makes me feel so much less alone.
