Tonight's episode starts off, as usual with a dual on Redemption Island. This week former Ometepe members Matt and Kristina meet in a puzzle battle. While I was rooting for the shrewd Kristina (she found a hidden immunity idol without a clue) in the early running, her quest for a million dollars ended abruptly this week.
From there we shift to the Ometepe members who weren't on Redemption Island as contestants or observers. Mostly it was whining from the girls while Phillip tries to gain what little leverage he can try to. Boston Rob seems inclined to keeping Phil around if only because he seems to be driving everybody else crazy with his "pink panties."
We then cut to a montage of Krista and Stephanie, the newest little girls to somehow be suckered by the now departed Russel complaining about their tribe. This is ultimately foreshadowing as this week is the first week Ometepe manages to win immunity on their own.
After this we get some strange bizarre game where Boston Rob goes out of his way to make Grant think that they're co-conspirators for an immunity idol that Rob had already found. It is utterly pointless activity for Grant, but at least Rob, and maybe the audience get a kick out of it.
That levity however quickly fades as we cut to Zapatera's tribe inevitable meltdown under the pressure of tribal council. Remember that the only council Zapatera tribe has faced before is one they chose to go to in an effort to shed the tumor that is Russel. While the main council in Zapatera begins to crumble, we get another montage of Krista and Stephanie cut to make them both look as vapid and stupid as possible. It manages to do a pretty good job of that as they constantly harp that the rest of their tribe "is not playing the game" even though they obviously are.
Once we get to tribal council, in an apparent blaze of glory Krista manages to launch several attacks at what she considers the cracks in the Zapatera super alliance. The only question was whether or not those cracks would splinter in time to save her. They did not. Krista became the fifth member sent to Redemption Island where she will face off next week with Matt. If he wins again next week, I might be inclined to think his prayers work.
Also, I wanted to include some video clips, but CBS apparently does not like to share. Jerks.
