I'm not sure they've ever been as explicit about showing guys peeing as they are right here as we bust in on a conversation between Bobby Jon and Blake, which we fortunately view from behind. Blake tells Bobby Jon that his loyalty extends to Bobby Jon, Farmer Beavis, and Danni. It's four against three. But weirdly, Blake then talks about how they'll "win every competition." I mean, if it's really four against three, you might as well lose the competitions and get rid of people. In fact, if you thought you might reunite post-merge with, say, Judd, then you'd exactly want to lose, because losing means you know you can get rid of a Yaxha person, while winning means that the other tribe, where Nakum is much more precariously situated, will be voting. Anyway, Bobby Jon and Blake agree that it would be Amy who they'd get rid of. Blake interviews that they've already decided the order will be Amy, then Brian, then Gary, presumably based on usefulness in challenges, also presumably taking into account Amy's ankle.
Amy and Gary sit by the water, and Amy shows off her swollen ankle again. She interviews that she's doing everything she can to conceal how bad it is from the tribe so that they won't think she's weak. She does feel like "a major target."
Speaking of challenges, let's have one now. Jeff brings in the tribe, and he takes immunity back from Cindy. Nakum decorated the idol with a yellow feather, it turns out. Brian vows that, tonight, the idol will get a blue feather. Tribe pride! Tribe pride! Jeff explains the challenge. Both tribes will paddle out and bring back three bags that are tied to buoys out in the water. ["This really is the season of bag-based challenges, and every time Jeff says 'bag,' I snicker." -- Wing Chun] They'll bring the bags back to shore and empty them out. Inside them are clubs, which the tribes will then hurl at big tiles. First team to break all the tiles wins. No person can break more than one tile, and if you can't hit one, you can always tag out and let someone else go. You will be shamed, and your family will be required to burn a candle in the window in atonement for your shame, but don't be afraid to tag out. Lydia is not participating in this particular challenge.
