Jeff goes for the urn. First vote, Eliza. Second vote, Twila. Third, Eliza. Fourth...Eliza. Eliza turns around and tries to give Chris the evil eye. Chris is un-evil-eye-able. Twila smirks, and then she actually grins with teeth and hunches up her shoulders, all happy. Which is probably a little much. Eliza walks over to Jeff and is snuffed. And I was kind of sad, because I was enjoying Eliza's plucky and highly unlikely race to the end. Except when she was sort of a bitch. But sometimes that was good, too. Anyway. Farewell, Eliza. Get that thing looked at. She turns around and looks at Chris one more time, and he makes a face that I hope was edited in from elsewhere, because it's basically a gratuitous fuck-off shrug, and I would hate to think he lost his judgment enough to make that face at her right after she was eliminated and before she voted. Eliza walks off. Jeff tells the remaining three that they'll do one more challenge tomorrow, and then it will be time for the winner to take somebody to F2. In her adios interview, Eliza discusses how "shocked" she was that Chris voted her out. "Turns out I did not have a single ally this entire game," she says. Meaning someone who would put aside their own interests in favor of yours? No. No, you probably didn't. Marathon runners have the same problem when they discover everybody's always trying to, like, pass them and stuff.
Back at camp after tribal council on Night 37, Twila crows to Chris about the look Eliza gave him, and he says, "I don't know what her problem is," because of course, he doesn't want to admit that he had professed to have an alliance with Eliza all along. "I just stick with my alliance; that's all I do." So for future reference -- specifically Scout's -- Chris's reaction to Eliza's booting is probably not genuine. If he felt bad about it, he wouldn't let on to Scout, because why would you tell her you had divided loyalties? I'm just saying, it's worth noting. Scout goes on to brag about the "merciful God" that has provided that Eliza will not be "running her mouth" anymore. I think that's it exactly -- God hates Eliza for talking too much. Scout interviews, with an overdose of self-satisfaction, that the night is great because it's so quiet without Eliza. As the final three contestants stare up at the sky, Twila happily says that getting rid of Eliza was "like getting a thorn out of your foot." Or an infected pimple off your forehead. They admire all the stars in the sky, and then Chris interviews that he never anticipated playing the game like a mean, lying bastard, but it's really your only choice. "Going back home with a million bucks?" he muses. "That'll change your life." Wow, that is deep. Sappy music plays, because this show is all about changing your life in positive ways.
