This episode started with Ometepe debriefing from that outrageous Tribal Council. Phillip pledged his vote to Boston Rob and claimed that he will play with integrity. Boston Rob told his alliance-mates that Phillip must be voted out quickly. Rob also said that he felt that Kristina is a good player. How can he really know that having only seen her for 4 or 5 days? Maybe he has the eye for talent, but time will tell how good of a player she really is.
Over on the Zapatera side, Russell started to actively search for the hidden immunity idol. Amazingly, Ralph (the dumbest person on the planet according to Russell) found the idol hidden in a tree while gathering rocks. Zapatera went on to win the reward challenge and Russell found a hidden immunity idol clue. Ralph noticed it and called Russell out on it. I loved the way Ralph was right to the point and got in Russell’s face in front of other tribe members. Hopefully, that’s not a mistake. Russell didn’t appreciate that and has made Ralph his next target. I hope Ralph manages to stay around for a while; I think it would be great to watch him butt heads with Russell.
After losing the reward challenge, Phillip made it a point to talk to the whole team about their performance. Boston Rob was annoyed by that. Rob was also annoyed with 
Matt for congratulating Zapatera on their win. Matt and Andrea have paired up, and that can be powerful as the game goes on. Just before Tribal Council Rob pulled Phillip aside and gave him advice on how to behave at Tribal Council. He also told him to vote for whoever he put his right hand on just before the vote. That was a pretty smart move on his part. That way, Phillip couldn’t reveal anything before the vote. In the first blindside of the game, Matt was voted out and Andrea was shocked!
