EPISODE 14, Part 1 of 7

It is morning at the House.
The skies are clear. A bright sun shines onto the tranquil swimming pool. An inflatible beach ball floats on the surface.
Birds are shown flying between the tall trees in the backyard.

Monica and Corrine sit at the kitchen table together.
Corrine: “I’ll be fine. It was a just a little crush.”
Monica: “You going to chill with him in Cali when you get back home?”
Corrine: “Maybe.” She cuts a piece of her french toast. “I don’t see it going anywhere, though, honestly.”
Monica: “Just a fun friendship basically.”

“I mean, sure, I miss Silas a little, but it’s not like I’m devastated by it. It’s a game. And the game goes on. We’re getting closer to the end, and soon it’s going to be time to buckle down and take care of business.”

Monica: “After everything that’s already happened, I’m not going anywhere near a boy until the game is finished.”
Corrine: “You’re smarter than me, that’s for sure.”

Downstairs, to the workout room...
Marty is warming down on the treadmill.
Brandon does one more pull-up and then stops, fatigued.
Terry sits down and dries his face off with a towel.

“The struggle never ends. Win or lose, I have to stay in shape and be ready to give it my all. I need for my team to see that I want to keep going, otherwise they’re probably going to keep sending me to the Temple.”

Shane walks up to Terry. “Dude, I’m exhausted. Let’s go eat.”
Terry: “Honestly, I don’t even feel like eating breakfast. No appetite at all.”
Shane: “Really? Can I eat your food then?”
Terry takes a swig of his water. “My stomach hurts like crazy.”
Marty walks over, dripping in sweat. “Man, you’ve been under a lot of stress lately. Any chance that’s finally catching up to you?”
Terry shrugs his shoulders. “I don’t think so.”

“I’m sure that he doesn’t want to admit it, but psychologically, being told by your team that you’re disposable FOUR times... come on, of course that’s going to take its toll. But not for Terry, at least he doesn’t want us to know that. Terry’s always been very self-conscious about his image here.”

Brandon: “Man, we know you’re trying to stick around. Don’t let it get to you.”
Shane: “Do you REALLY think this team would vote you in a FIFTH time?”
Terry looks uncomfortable. “Yes. Without a doubt.”
Marty: “Well I’m gonna get some grub.” He and Brandon step out of the room.
Shane: “Meet us upstairs, boss.” He also leaves.
Terry remains seated, looking pale and nauseous.

Peihgee sits on the back porch, painting her toenails. She laughs.
Rob C.: “I don’t understand all you crazy women and the fights you start with each other. You should aspire to be like us. We all love each other.”
Peihgee lets out a high-pitched sarcastic laugh.
Stephen (sarcastically): “Really. These are my best friends, for life. I want all 15 of you guys at my wedding.”
Rob C.: “What, the Courtney and Stephen wedding? With the 30 of us as your wedding party?”
Stephen: “Yeah. No one else is invited. No one!”
Rob C.: “That would not go well.”
Peihgee: “A few people would die.”

“This is the true story, of 32 not-so-strangers, picked to live in a mansion, and something something something blah blah blah. Just like last season, we’ve all managed to drive each other up the wall. Personalities have been clashing, and inevitably, people just start getting mad at each other for no reason.”

Peihgee: “Dead serious, if I get voted out like one day before the Finals, I’ll be so pissed.”
Stephen: “Who wouldn’t be?”
Rob C.: “I saw how this worked last time. Keep your mouth shut, don’t speak unless spoken to, and ride the wave.”
Peihgee: “This one’s different, though.”
Rob C.: “Not really.”

Gervase is seated on his bed, with his secret Temple notebook open. Burton and Rocky are watching him draw arrows on a blueprint of the Temple.
Rocky: “So here’s my question... how do we know if any of those Temple rooms are going to be locked when it’s the Finals? And are we blindfolded?”
Gervase: “Well obviously we don’t know those kinds of details.”
Burton: “You don’t get clues like that?”
Gervase: “Of course not.”

“This whole Temple thing is a like a foreign land to me, like 50 continents away from me. I’ve been doing so well that I haven’t had to face the fear of going to the Temple the way the other guys have.”

Rocky: “It just seems weird, like each time you guys go there, it’s a 1 vs. 1 matchup, but like the Finals isn’t going to be like that, is it?”
Burton: “It’ll be a team thing.”
Gervase: “From talking with Terry, we have no idea where the actual quote-unquote ‘treasure’ is hiding.”

“Terry and I made the decision that SOME people on this team need to know that we’re working hard to help the team win at the end. We’ve gotten some clues, the gears are moving, and having a few extra brains in on the strategic planning can only help our chances.”

Burton: “Who else knows about this?”
Gervase: “Actually, just you two, me and Terry.”
Rocky: “You’re not planning on telling the whole team, right?”
Gervase: “Hell no.”
Rocky laughs.
Burton: “Good!”

“So... we’re in! Only a few other guys are apparently being picked to help out with the problem solving for the final mission. I’m glad Gervase and Terry want me in on that. There’s a lot of uncertainty in the game, on who will be doing better or worse, who will be vulnerable for elimination. Knowing that a few others definitely want me here at the end is good to know.”

The men can hear Jim walking down the hall.
As Jim gets closer, he sees the bedroom door cracked open.
Rocky jumps up and shuts the door before Jim can look in.
Burton whispers: “Dude, that was close.”
Gervase: “Yeah, we need to be super careful on who knows about this.”

Jim continues walking down the hallway, to Sophie’s room.
Sophie is folding her clothes. “You know they want me gone.”
Jim: “Your team?”
Sophie: “Both teams.”

“Courtney and Peihgee flipped yesterday and didn’t send me to the Temple. But do I trust them to really stay on my side? Hell no.”

Jim: “I just walked by Gervase’s room, and there were a few other guys in there, and when they heard me coming, they slammed the door on me.”
Sophie: “Ughhh. This entire House needs to grow up. It’s pathetic.”
Jim: “Oh they definitely all hate me with a fiery passion. Because I intimidate them. I mean, that’s what I keep saying, that if I keep staying out of the Ditch, then...”
Sophie: “... then they can’t do anything.”
Jim: “Exactly.”
Sophie: “I wish it was that easy for me. I’m so far behind to begin with.”

“The threat is always there. My name will absolutely get written down the most if I land in the Ditch. That’s my motivation. I don’t want to give the guys, AND the girls, that satisfaction that they’ve won. I’m not giving up.”

Sophie runs her fingers through her hair. “I just wish it was easier, you know? Like if all our girls didn’t keep losing in the Temple so much, I wouldn’t even be in this position. I’m not even sure what the point of even staying here really is.”
Jim: “Well, I’m not going to stop you if you make that decision to bail... because I know how you feel. But I hope you DO stay. You know...”

Sophie’s door is wide open.
Burton walks up. “Jim, I don’t know what your beef is. Really.”
Jim turns his head, surprised.
Burton: “I heard the whole thing. I don’t know where you get this idea that we’re INTIMIDATED by you.” He lets out a laugh.
Jim throws his hand up and then points to Burton. “You just proved my point! This is what I’m talking about!”
Rocky walks up behind Burton. Gervase stands in the background and doesn’t approach the conversation.

“I can’t let out a burp in this House without getting 15 people up my ass about everything I do or say. And it’s getting really really REALLY old.”

Rocky smacks his hands together. “Jim, you keep insisting that you want to be a part of the team SO badly, then why would you trash our entire team over and over?”
Burton: “Do you really think we’d want to be around you let alone even work with you in the game if you’re going to walk around with an attitude like that?”
Sophie: “Could you guys just GO AWAY?”
Burton walks into the room. “Just for the record, your opinion in this House has meant NOTHING at any point in this game. Just so you know.”
Sophie scowls.
Jim stands up and gets in Burton’s face. “What I’m saying is CUT THE SHIT. I’m not impressed!”
Rocky, Burton, and Gervase all leave the room.

“Jim and I don’t really know what any of that was about. It was just yet another opportunity for people to get in our faces and tell them how much they hate us.”

Sophie laughs and looks at Jim. “Wanna join my team instead?”
Jim: “I’m dying to know what the hell they were talking about that was so top secret.”

EPISODE 14, Part 2 of 7
CHALLENGE #14

The sun shines over the lake. Many large tiles are spread out across the surface of the water.
Corrine: “Yay, lake! We missed you so much!”
Stephen: “I didn’t.”

“There is absolutely no way we can ever really know what each challenge is going to be, how difficult or easy it is going to be, who will do well, who won’t. We’re all basically approaching these missions each day as do-or-die.”

Jonny: “Welcome to your next competition on the Battle of the Sexes! Today’s mission is called Alphabet Soup.”
Several women clap and smile.
Debbie smirks, fixing her sunglasses.
Rob C.: “Are we doing a spelling bee?”
Jonny: “Well here’s how today’s challenge will work. You will randomly be divided into 4 heats of competition. In each group, I will blow the whistle, you’ll jump into the lake from this dock, and swim out to the tiles out on the water. For each heat, there will be 150 tiles in that water, guys! Your job is to swim up to a tile, turn it over and reveal a letter of the alphabet. You have to find 7 tiles that can be used to spell a seven-letter word. Once you feel like you have a 7-letter word to spell, you must swim back to the dock with ONLY those 7 tiles, climb out, and spell that word out on one of the tile-holders you see behind you.”

“It is essentially a race to grab 7 letters that can spell SOMETHING, then racing back to the dock to spell a word. Obviously a few people in each group might end up fighting for the easy letters... but it’s really hard to tell how it’s going to go.”

Jonny: “After you are satisfied with your word, you’ll ring your bell and your time will be recorded. The faster your finish, the better your time, and the more points you will score. However, if you arrange the letters at the dock and they do NOT spell a 7-letter word correctly, you’ll be disqualified, and you’ll get ZERO points. Your time for the team average will be the slowest time plus two minutes as a penalty. Note that you are NOT allowed to jump back into the water after climbing out onto the dock, so make sure you have all the tiles you need.”

“There are very few things I hate more than spelling, man. Like I guess hangovers and rain and the smell of rotten cheese, but that’s about it. This mission sounds terrible.”

Jonny: “The man and woman who log the fastest times will earn $5,000 and the LifeShield, making them safe from tonight’s Temple. AND, the team with the best average time will win $1,000 for each of their team members, AND their team will be voting SECOND today. After this challenge, the 3 cumulative lowest-scoring individuals on each team will end up in the Ditch and will be vulnerable for elimination by their respective teams. We will randomly draw to determine which heat you’ll be competing in. Good luck.”

Heat 1

Terry adjusts Shane’s lifejacket.
Shane: “I told you that you’d feel better, man.”
Terry: “But I don’t.”

“Being in Heat 1 is always really tough because we haven’t seen any other groups do the mission yet, and haven’t seen how to troubleshoot if anything bad happens. Today, we actually get a small advantage because there’s only 4 of us in this first group, which means we have less people to fight against for tiles.”

Corrine looks focused.
Jonny blows the whistle.
The four players jump into the lake with lifejackets on. Gervase quickly grabs his first tile, revealing a “T”.
Peihgee flips multiple tiles over.

“So these tiles are significantly heavier and bigger than they looked. It makes this challenge a little harder than we expected.”

Shane: “Enough of these stupid M’s and N’s. I need a goddamn vowel!!”
Burton: “Dude, don’t say that out loud, don’t give them clues!”
Corrine splashes around, looking for more letters.
Jerri: “Ladies, if the letters aren’t good for you, turn them back over facedown!”

“This wasn’t too difficult, once you turned over your first few letters. Finding an easy suffix or prefix, like I realized my first few tiles spelled -TION, so I had a lot of options to complete a word.”

Shane and Gervase both treading water back towards the dock, floating their tiles across the water. The men cheer.
Corrine gets pissed off in the water, still splashing around and looking for tiles to complete her word.

spells CAPTION in 2:48.

spells SMOKING in 2:57.

Rob M. jumps up and down.
Gervase throws his hands up in the air. Rocky runs up to him and gives him a high-five.
Burton: “You guys just tore that up!”

Peihgee climbs out of the water with her tiles, dripping wet.
Courtney claps: “That a girl, finish strong!”

spells LAWYERS in 3:20.

Monica: “Corrine, just find ANYTHING and make a word when you get back here!”
Corrine spits out water, swimming around. “I just need another S.”
Sophie crosses her arms and stares.

“Yeah, and apparently I keep getting told that I’m THE weak link on the women’s team. And here you have Corrine who can’t even pass a spelling test.”

spells INVESTS in 4:37. She rings her bell.

Corrine: “Ugh, that was so embarrassing.”
The men are still congratulating Gervase and Shane.
Jerri to Corrine: “Don’t worry, it’s okay, you’ll be fine.”
Corrine: “It sucks, I had like the first six letters in like 30 seconds!”

“There’s way too much luck in this challenge, it all depends on the first few letters you pick up, and it can really mess with your head when you’re so close to having a word and looking for ONE letter. Ughhh, worst mission ever.”

Heat 2

Parvati clips her lifejacket.
Corrine: “Honestly, don’t do what I did out there. I spent too much time looking for a single letter.”
Parvati: “I feel like crap. Dead serious. Thank God this is a quick challenge.”
Corrine: “Didn’t sleep well?”
Parvati touches her stomach and sighs.

“I don’t know if it’s nerves, or from too much partying, but I just starting feeling BLEH this morning.”

Jerri: “Drink lots of water when you get back... it’s been so hot out here, it could be dehydration.”
Parvati: “I couldn’t even eat this morning.”
Corrine: “Don’t be nervous... you’ll do great.”

“I think it’s getting to her... constantly being in that Ditch, being in the bottom. She realizes her time could be up pretty soon. And she’s not used to losing.”

Jonny speaks through his megaphone: “Alright, there will be no more assistance from those of you players on the sidelines not competing in the current. This will be your only warning.”
Jonny blows the whistle. Players jump into the lake, clad in lifevests.
Rocky thrashes around, holding up a E.
Marty: “I want an S! My kingdom for an S!”

“An S is an easy letter. Just make something plural. I’ve already got like 4 good tiles to start making a word...”

“I notice everyone in the first batch was just swimming from one tile to the next and deciding whether or not it was a good letter. My idea for this heat was to just grab like a dozen tiles and THEN look at the letters I have to see what I can spell.”

Brandon treads water with a pile of many tiles and starts flipping them over.
Debbie coughs up water as she grabs an R.
The women on the dock laugh as Rocky struggles to find a tile he wants. He throws a Q in the air. “WHO THE HELL NEEDS A Q? I hate this Scrabble shit!”
Stephen watches from the dock, and mumbles under his breath: “Maybe he realized RETARD wasn’t 7 letters long...”

spells PRODUCE in 2:49.

Parvati looks tired in the water, shoving her tiles onto the dock.
Jerri and Monica cheer her on.
Marty and Debbie reach the dock right after Parvati.
Rocky is still out on the water throwing tiles around and yelling at himself.

spells MENTION in 3:30.

spells SERVANT in 3:32.

spells DESTINY in 3:58.

Parvati receives a pat on the back from Corrine, then quickly grabs a seat on the dock.
Monica: “Parv, you did fine!”
Parvati: “I think I’m gonna throw up. I’m not kidding.”
Camera zooms in on Terry watching this, he looks queasy.

spells BITCHES in 4:24.

Marty rolls his eyes.
Stephen: “That’s embarrassing. THAT’S our leader.”
Marty: “It’s best not to think about it.”

“Rude, classless, just plain stupid. I don’t understand how this guy has managed to be so successful at this game. He’s awful.”

Parvati runs off the dock to a set of bushes. She leans over and starts throwing up.
Jerri: “Oh God, she’s felt sick all morning.”
Courtney stares from a distance. “Is she alright?”
Parvati yells back to the others, sitting on the ground. “Guys, I’m okay, really.” Sweat drips down her face.

“Parvati forgot the number one rule, that you’re supposed to wait 30 minutes after eating before going swimming. She says she’s okay. We’re assuming that she ate something bad.”

Heat 3

Terry looks queasy. He gives Brandon a high-five. “You rocked that last heat. Nice job.”
Brandon: “Do what I did, just grab as many as you can right away.”
Jonny blows the whistle. Stephen does a cannonball into the water, the others jump in and start flipping tiles over.

“Every day is stepping stone. I can’t have a bad day, a bad mission. No excuses. My goal is to keep performing and keep climbing up on the scoreboard.”

“The -ING combination gives you a lot to work with. I immediately find an N and a G, and I’m already getting excited. This could really well.”

Players on the dock are cheering and screaming.
Jim screams “YES!” as he flips over another tile.
Parvati is shown sitting by the bushes, nodding, with Corrine patting her on the back.
Monica smiles as she grabs a P.
Jim and Jerri sprint towards the dock with their tiles as Courtney and Peihgee screech on the dock.
Terry tries grabbing his tiles from a large stack floating on the water.

“I’ve got a ton of letters in front of me, I KNOW that they can be used to spell words, but I have to pick an actual word and just do it. It’s overwhelming when there’s like 20 letters to choose from.”

spells URGENCY in 2:26.

spells WORKING in 2:33.

Several men on the dock are visibly cheering only for Stephen and Terry.
Sophie to Jim: “I seriously think you were the fastest so far! And that is a baller word!”
Jim: “Yeah, I try. They’re so pissed!”

spells SHOPING in 2:54. She rings her bell.
Rob M. starts laughing out loud.
Jerri dries off with her towel. “Oh crap, Monica...”
Monica: “Oh shoot!! I forgot a P!”
Marty: “Hah! It’s supposed to be 8 letters!”

spells CLIMBED in 3:14.

spells CORRECT in 3:43.

Jonny: “Monica, as you realized, you spelt your word incorrectly, and it is not a word. You will receive zero points, and your time will be the slowest time plus an additional two minutes.”
Parvati sits by herself in the shade with a bottle of water. “It’s okay, girl.”
Monica gets red in the face. “I feel like the world’s biggest idiot. Oh my God.”
Sophie under her breath: “Well, you’re pretty close...”

“This is going to be really bad. I just received a disqualification, which could seriously tank my score and put me in that Ditch. I’m so upset right now.”

Monica: “I can’t forgive myself for that, I knew I was counting wrong out there.”
Jerri: “Just put it behind you, you’ll be okay.”
Corrine: “There’s still opportunities for everyone else to screw up, too.”

EPISODE 14, Part 3 of 7
(Challenge #14 continued)

Heat 4

Rob M.: “Terry, if you don’t feel good, go grab a seat.”
Marty: “Is it the heat?”
Terry: “I AM actually really hot right now.”
Debbie: “Did you and Parvati eat the same thing by any chance? This seems a little weird.”

“There’s a lot of distraction right now. People are starting to drop like flies, maybe from exhaustion, maybe because Terry’s going through menopause, I don’t really know. All I know is that I’m on a mission to save my ass.”

Courtney, jokingly: “Does this lifejacket make me look fat?”
Rob C.: “No. It makes you look morbidly obese.”
Jonny blows the whistle.
Burton jumps in before the others, kicking and splashing everyone in the face before they reach the surface.

“I have not been doing too well these past few missions, so I need to seize the opportunity today to get my name back on the map. I want that LifeShield today.”

Sophie starts grabbing several tiles.
Rob C.: “I keep seeing nothing but a lot of B’s.”
The men are yelling and cheering from the dock.
Gervase: “Let’s make it 4 for 4, fellas!”

“We are doing a great job as a team today. We won the first 3 heats, the girls already have one DQ on a SMALLER team... so we feel pretty good right about now.”

Burton treads water, carrying two A’s. “Boys, I’ve got this! I need like 2 letters.”
Rob M. flips over a tile, revealing a Z.

“I am fairly confident that I could find just ONE vowel, and still make a ton of seven letter words. So I’m just grabbing as many as I can now, and I’ll do the spelling later.”

Terry is shown walking over to the bushes, now throwing up before he gets there.
Parvati has her head buried in her hands, sitting Indian-style next to where Terry stands.
Shane to Marty: “I’m tellin’ ya man, something’s wrong with him today.”
Sophie is climbing out of the lake and onto the dock.
Jim is yelling and hollering.
Monica to Jerri: “Oh my God, please get him a muzzle.”

“I have a word ready and I’m swimming towards the dock with my tiles, the guys are cheering for me, and as I’m about to climb out, I see Sophie already there working on her word I’m like... WHAAAAT?”

Sophie shown rearranging her tiles on the stand, then rings her bell and jumps up and down, out of breath.

spells DROUGHT in 1:57.

Jim runs up to her and embraces her.
Rob M. treading water with his tiles.
Burton grabs his 7 tiles and tries get them in order.
Rocky: “Alright Burton, finish strong for the guys!”

spells ANIMALS in 2:17.

Sophie dances in place.
Jim: “I will laugh my ass off if we both won LifeShields today.”
Terry is shown vomiting behind the group, bent over.

“Jim and Sophie are always so obnoxious, every time they beat like one person, it’s some stupid victory parade because they beat all the (motions sarcastically with her fingers) *evil people*. Whatever, I’m over it.”

Peihgee claps. “C’mon Courtney! Finish up!”
Rob C. falls behind both Rob M. and Courtney climbing out of the lake.

spells STREETS in 3:26.

spells LOCATED in 3:35.

spells BLUBBER in 3:38.

Brandon: “Geez, we’ve got two sickies now!”
Parvati walks back towards the women’s team. “Ladies, I am shot.” She sips more water.
Peihgee: “It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.”
Corrine: “We’ll get you better, hun.”

“I’m pretty disappointed with myself. In theory, I should be pretty good at a mission like this. I usually excel with thinking and puzzles. But I started off with like 3 B’s, and my mind just couldn’t think of any words.”

“This was a BAD day for me and for my girls. I did horrible, Parvati is throwing up, Monica got disqualified, and Jerri! Jerri probably would have won the LifeShield until Sophie went. And for Sophie of ALL people to beat everybody... I mean... could this day have gone any worse for us?”

Jonny: “Hey everyone. Great job today. It is now time to reveal the team average times and announce the winner of today’s mission. The women’s team’s average on Alphabet Soup is... 3 minutes, 46 seconds.”
Light clap from Debbie and Corrine. Courtney laughs.
Jonny: “And for the men, your team average was... 3 minutes, 12 seconds.”
Gervase and Brandon fist bump and the men start clapping.
Jonny: “So congratulations to the men for winning the mission and $1,000 apiece.”

“The boys did do well today, so you have to give them credit. Apparently we’re not that good at spelling. Or swimming.”

“First the triangle peg puzzle, and now this. I think now we have definitely proven that the men here are ridiculously smarter than the women. As if we even NEEDED a challenge to prove that.”

Jonny: “And now for the LifeShields - Winning $5,000 and a LifeShield for himself today... with a time of 2 minutes, 17 seconds... Burton.”
Rocky: “NIIIICCCCEEE!!”
Marty claps and smiles.
Rob M. laughs.
Jim stands, biting his tongue, disappointed at everyone’s enthusiastic reaction.
Jonny: “And for the girls today, dominating... and winning $5,000 and a LifeShield for the women, and the overall TOP performer today, in a blazing time of 1 minute, 57 seconds, Sophie. WELL DONE!”
Jerri looks worried and upset.
Sophie: "This one's for YOU, Burton!!"
Debbie takes her sunglasses off and wipes her forehead. She lets out a huge wail. “WAY TO GO, SOPHIE!”
Parvati and Terry sit by themselves on a bench. A medic is next to them giving them gatorade and ice packs.

“I like the fact that I ruined the plans of everyone by winning the LifeShield today. I don’t know which side Courtney and Peihgee were going to go with in the voting, and now, I just don’t even really care. Because I’ve taken that option away from them.”

“This was a really weird mission. Not everyone is feeling alright. And you had Sophie come out of nowhere to win, so a lot women are upset. Something intense is brewing, like I can feel it in the air. People are on edge...”

Jonny: “We will now reveal the Official Scoreboard, updated for today’s challenge. Take a close look at the scores to see who has landed in the Ditch. There are a few shakeups once again, so pay close attention. Teams will go back to the House. First the women will meet and decide who from the Ditch will represent them in the Temple, with the King delivering that news to the men’s team who make their decision on who to send AND which Temple room they will compete in.”

Back at the House...
The men’s and women’s bathroom doors are both closed.
The sound of upchucking can be heard.

“I can’t believe I’ve fallen to the Ditch so quickly with just one DQ, one spelling error. I’m worried sick. Because our voting lately has been so unpredictable, and today, I’ll have absolutely no control over it.

Corrine: “You do realize this is like the worst day ever for me.”
Monica: “Corrine, how do you think WE feel? WE’RE the ones in the Ditch!”
Corrine: “Yes, I know, but you do realize the position this puts me in...”

“I can’t think of a worse scenario. All three girls in the Ditch today are in my alliance! And I have to write one of their names down!”

Monica: “I just hope Parv is okay.”
Corrine: “She says she’s feeling better.”
Monica: “Some nasty bug must be going around, Terry’s sick too.”
Corrine: “And if one of you girls loses in the Temple tonight, I think I’M gonna be sick tonight, too.”

Rob C. is hanging out with Stephen and Marty on the back porch.
Marty: “So I have some concerns today. I really think Terry, in last place, and now sick, is the obvious choice... but I’m afraid he’s going to get sympathy votes today because he’s so ill.”
Rob C.: “He is! He is!”
Stephen: “But, you know, you’ve been to the Temple and won, too, just like them!”
Rob C.: “I’ve been fewer times though.”
Marty: “Gervase is ideally who they’ll all pick, he’s still the 2nd worst. And I don’t like him.”

“We are in a HUGE bind today, with Cesternino being in danger. Gervase and Terry are rocks, just SINKING to the bottom of this team for WEEKS. And they’ve been here for so long that they’re just collecting dust just sitting here. Rob has contributed way more to this team than either of them.”

Stephen: “We have other cards to play.”
Marty: “This team is shrinking small enough... there’s just 8 people voting. Rob, I don’t think all is lost yet.”
Rob C. nods.

“I’m hoping the guys can come up with something. I really do think I’ve done pretty well, I’ve won a LifeShield, I won in the Temple, I won last season... I think I have a pretty big skill set to offer.”

Marty and Stephen have cornered Jim behind the pool shed in the backyard.
Jim: “Oh yeah, you know how badly I’d love to see Gervase go, or some of these other guys go.”
Stephen: “We REALLY need your help today, and... Rob feels pretty strongly about keeping you around to the end.”
Jim: “Is Boston Rob in ANY of those plans whatsoever?”
Marty’s eyes open wide. “NO! Absolutely not! He’s toast! You really think we want him here at the end? After he’s done like 10 reality shows already?”
Jim: “You both just need to understand, I don’t know who the hell I can trust anymore.”
Marty: “I PROMISE you I had nothing to do with Brenda going home!”
Jim: “It’s so hard for me to believe that.”
Stephen: “JIM, we are pleading for your help!!!”
Jim looks very confused, pensive, worried.

"...maybe because Terry’s going through menopause, I don’t really know"

Corinne's alliance entirely in the Ditch

"You really think we want him here at the end? After he’s done like 10 reality shows already?"

And guess what that phone call from work was about?
Guess who gets to prepare and give a last-minute presentation tomorrow at work? Yup!

Parts 4-7 up later this week. Sorry.

Aww... too bad, runnin. At least we have a sort of cliffhanger before the deliberations.

Did Parvati and Terry hook up last night?

Seems a lot of people got P edits... plus, Debbie returning to a MORN?

I get that the gender imbalance is already critical, but one of the Mean Girls* going would be amazing.

*not so much a reference to the movie, but to Inferno 2 <3
