The U.S.S. Mrs. Butterworth skims across the water and delivers Lill and Burton to a beach where breakfast has been laid out under a canopy. Burton describes the spread that they found when they got there, which included all sorts of pancakes and bacon and sausage and fruit...things that they've been without for some time, obviously. There are a few other comforts they've been without, but I don't think those needs are going to be met on this particular morning, if you see my point. Which, unfortunately, you probably do. Lill keeps gasping excitedly as they discover new and exciting facets of the buffet. It's probably the most enthusiasm that scrambled eggs have ever generated. They find a bottle of champagne, the better to Mimosa you with, but since Lill doesn't drink, Burton just busts it open and drinks it straight. Yet another moment where the contestant does just what I would do. Lill explains that she's decided to believe him, so she just has to hope he's not setting her up to screw her. Burton tells her: "Here's the deal. We've got to get Rupert off right now." He's strong, he's got Christa and Sandra "in his back pocket" (uh, NOT), and Burton thinks that it's time for him to go. Burton tells Lill that his plan is for her to get the Morganite women to vote against Rupert, along with himself and Jon. And, perhaps, Ryan-O, though this is less clear. If Rupert wins immunity, Burton's plan would then be to boot Christa -- who, you'll remember, he doesn't like. Burton tells Lill that the best thing for her to do would be to befriend Christa and convince her that Lill will vote for whomever Christa and Rupert tell her to. Lill blanches, warning Burton that she's not so good at the lying. Burton starts in to tell her that if she's going to resist lying, they're in a heap of trouble, but she cuts him off, reluctantly telling him that she knows she has to. She's certainly quite earnestly scouty at times, that Scout.
Back at camp, Christa and Sandra are enjoying a relaxing hair-washing out in the water where, at the moment, Sandra is applying conditioner to Christa's tresses. They're apparently looking ahead a couple of rounds, Sandra quietly speculating that she, Christa, and Lill could take out Rupert and Burton -- presumably when it's down to the five Drakes. Christa opines that they may need to go after the guys sooner, considering how strong they are and how limited the opportunities to boot them may be. She also wants to get rid of Burton before Rupert, because she sees Burton as "definitely" stronger than Rupert. Sandra presents the option of going after Burton now, and planning ultimately to keep Tijuana and Darrah a little longer, aiming for a final five made up of the women who remain. Christa is intrigued by this option. Sandra interviews that she and Christa feel vulnerable, because Rupert and Burton are the fish-catchers, so they want to start thinking about how to live without the protein. Good God, it's only, like, two weeks at this point. You won't starve eating rice and beans and coconut for two weeks. This whole thing is just ass, and not just because it's sexist bullshit, although it is, but because it's specifically bullshit. Christa and Sandra are just lame. I don't care what anybody says about the spear being difficult to pull back; if they had taken the initiative to spend time learning to fish while they were there, they'd be able to do it by now. They have this problem because they've sat on their asses and let themselves be fed, not because fishing is too hard. Tijuana interviews that she often hears Christa and Sandra talking about how they have to learn to live without fish in case one of the guys "gets hurt," so she's pretty sure they're considering getting rid of Burton and Rupert, despite the former Drakes' efforts to look united.
