Peachy asks, "Who in the tribe do you have a crush on?" Rob rolls his eyes upwards and back before closing them in anxiety. They reveal, and we see that everyone including HeiDDi guessed HeiDDi, except for Matthew, who went with himself. As Peachy proclaims Rob the winner, we see Matthew and Rob exchanging more furtive glances, further convincing me that Matthew indeed threw this challenge. I mean, himself? There are three women and four men in the game, and to our knowledge they're all heterosexual, so odds were already strongly in favor of a female player being the majority's crush. But then, the whole crazy thing?
As Rob dons the veggie necklace, the others applaud with varying degrees of enthusiasm as HeiDDi yells, "It's about time, baby!" Rob announces that it's the "best day of [his] life," or maybe second to the time he saw a girl who looked just like an acned Pamela Anderson at the Wantagh Mall. Peachy asks, "Who knew you would be the most in touch with the tribe?" and Rob majestically responds, "These are my people!" Peachy adds, "You are their leader now," before realizing that he's just rambling and explaining that Rob is no one's leader, he just won immunity. Rob is a happy boy.
On Day 30 at Jackée, Alex and HeiDDi bathe and discuss their mutual relief over Rob's immunity. HeiDDi scrubs her stinky armpits as they celebrate Matt's imminent exit, before Alex interviews that the alliance has decided Matt needs to go next because he's such a physical threat. The camera cuts over to Rob, who looks uncomfortable at the conversation. Alex announces that Matt knows he's not getting beyond fifth place, and Rob asks if Matthew came right out and said that. Alex responds, "Pretty much," and he should know by now that in this game there's a big difference between "yes" and "pretty much." Alex thinks Matt will be happy with fifth or sixth place, and has just been planning on coasting by on his immunity challenge victories. He snits, as if Matthew is there to hear, "You should've tried a little harder last night." And didn't Deena say exactly the same thing of Alex last week?
