That…was sweet.
I sure hope Bob gets some Sugar before he gets eliminated. She owes him. 
Man, I loved the look on Randy’s face when the idol was revealed as a fake. Kudos to Bob’s artistry.
Or: What Terminus Est said.
You took the sound right out of my mouth!
Best! Ep! All! Season!
And I think Crystal made her vote loud on purpose, just to reinforce to Randy that his neck was on the chopping block to ensure he’d feel the need to play the fake idol. I thought it was brilliant.
As Terminus Est said. . .
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha-
gasp
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
::sniff::
That was a great ending, though it wasn’t as sweet as it could have been since Crystal & her smug bitchy smile is still in the game. **Hate **her! Has Sugar ever even gotten one vote yet at Tribal? She’s playing *very *smart, while putting up a great act for those around her. Although her passive-aggressive shtick with the cookies really pissed me off. I hate when people pull crap like that. They do something small to specifically bother someone else, and then when the other person gets upset they get all self-righteous. If she really felt so strongly about them “acting like adults” she would have taken a cookie when Randy first offered one to her first!
No, no, no, you’ve got it all wrong. Sugar saw the power play Randy was going for, offering Sugar’s cookie to his butt bud, bitch-face, her taking half, then giving the other half to Matty, obviously trying to ingratiate himself to Matty to bring him into their alliance. Sugar one-upped him by finally agreeing, oh so reluctantly, to take the last cookie he offered, then giving the whole thing to Matty. It was brilliant! Completely took the wind right out of Randy’s sails. Hehehehehe!!
Awesome. That may be the best TC ever! We’ve seen a Fake HII at TC previously, but I don’t think its been used as a blind-side tactic before, has it? I remember in S:China, someone played a wood tile, but they knew they were grasping at straws. Then there was the Ozzie “stick” Idol, which was also obviously fake. Randy was sure, sure! he had the real McCoy. Damn that was great!
Did anyone notice how Bob was absolutely dead-pan in TC after the Faux HII was revealed a fake? He looked hang-dog, dejected, absolutely put out, didn’t show he knew jack about what was going on. Hell, he even voted for Susie, per Randy’s plan! And from the previews, it seems he’s going to do his best to sell Corinne that he got played! Brilliant! I love this guy! And I’d hate to play poker with him.
Yeah, I liked Matty’s little hyena-laff during RC. I heard him do it twice, it sounds really strange.
Next week: Corinne goes to Loser Lodge! Well, I don’t see what else could happen, unless she goes all psycho on the rest of the players, whom I know she thinks are morons; everyone except her is stupid, yep. Having said that, foregone-conclusion episodes usually aren’t that interesting. May Corinne has some hidden talent and will win IC? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
ETA: what Shayna said, re cookies.
Awe. Some. Awesome! The barely supressed giggles and chortles…Randy’s stunned-into-silence exit…the delicious, delicious irony of the “These people are so dumb!” rants and railings…oh, sniff it was beautiful. Best. Episode. EVAR.
Felt a little bad for Bob looking at his facial expression at the tribal council, but didn’t care much because I was enjoying everyone else’s. Awe. SOME.
Makes up for last season, when the two narcissitic whores were in the final two. I was so pissed, I skipped the finale and the reunion entirely. Not this time–no matter who is in the finals, I want to hear Randy talk about how much smarter he is than all the others, and how he played the game EXACTLY how he wanted and how he did what he set out to do. …heh heh, LOSE.
Awe. SOME.
‘You are a disgusting old hot-headed chauvinistic alcoholic bigot, and you need to grow up before you die alone. Hallelujah!’ – Sugar
Hmmm, maybe I was a bit confused. I thought when Randy first walked over the group with the plate of cookies that he offered the very first one to Sugar, who then refused, he then offered again, and she still refused. Then he gave one to everyone else and when there were 2 left, split the second to last one in half & then offered the last one to Sugar for a third time. If the only time he offered one to Sugar was the last one, then yeah I agree with you, but if she kept refusing them from the beginning what was he supposed to do with it?
Randhole starts by asking, “Who wants one?” Everyone raises their hand except Sugar.
He starts with Sugar, asks her if she wants one and she declines. He then moves on to Susie, who takes one. As he’s walking down the line, both Matty and Crystal grab theirs off the plate, and he’s now standing in front of The Biotch, and turns and says, “Are you sure, Sugar?” She responds, “Matty’s eating it.” And Randhole says, “It’s not yours to give to Matty. I’M the boss!”
He then says to Crotch-itch, “You can have two if you’d like,” to which she responds, “Awww, I’ll take one and a half if that’s alright.”
Jeff then pipes in, “So Randy, you’re giving Sugar’s to Corrine?” And Randhole says, “Uhhh, Sugar doesn’t have one. I offered her one and she didn’t take one, so, they’re mine.” He puts the plate in front of Matty and says, “You want a half?” and Matty says he’ll go for it.
Randhole then says to Sugar, who’s already told him multiple times she doesn’t want one, and says, “Last chance, you can have a full one,” and she says “Thank you,” takes it and hands it to Matty. Randhole proceeds to be gobsmacked.
You can watch it starting at about 12:07 here.
Note that the only two people he offered extra cookies to were Crotch-itch, who he first offered two, then Matty, who he offered the half that Crotch-itch didn’t take. He didn’t offer two to Susie after Sugar declined. He didn’t offer a second one, or the other half to Crystal or Kenny. Nope, he was buttering up Crotch-itch and Matty.
And Sugar out-smarted him!
Oh, and what he was supposed to do with it was eat it himself. It was his cookie, because Sugar’s had already been split between Crotch-itch and Matty.
My favorite part (aside from the greatest TC ever!) was the bumper before they went to commercial after the auction. Matty was making sure the rest of the five were on board with his plan when Randy comes over and stares at them for a few uncomfortable seconds before walking off. They then cut to a colony of ants devouring a roach. I knew right then Randy was leaving (OK, technically I knew it last week when they showed him saying “I’m going to burn it all down” during the promos - that’s ALWAYS Survivor-speak for “I’m going home today” 
)
It sounds like everyone here lurved the Tribal Council fake Immunity Idol moment, and that’s great and it was wonderful.
For me, though, that moment couldn’t live up to my anticipation of the moment. I was laughing like crazy for the 10 minutes of the show leading up to it. So, the moment itself was a little anticlimactic for me, but what a great ep.
It was also incredibly satisfying for me that the fake Idol was played at all; it was such a beaut. When Bob crafted it on last week’s episode my hunch was that either he would hold onto it himself to create the illusion of having immunity or he would be voted out before he could get anyone to play it. Glad I was wrong!
“I hope they all get bitten by green mambas!”
Bwa-ha-ha!!!
Great episode.
I can’t believe Jeff tossed the damn thing in the fire, what an auction piece that would be…
Randy’s great plan was to piss off everybody on the off chance that Bob would give him the idol? What a plan.
Well, hey…that part of it worked!
Seriously. Sugar is going to walk away with this, because every single person there is underestimating her. “Bob has to have found the idol because there’s no way Sugar did!” Duh. Or Ace’s “I have Sugar and her idol in my pocket.” Duh.
Anyone who doesn’t prepare for Sugar because she ACTS like a lightweight dimbulb around camp deserves to go to Loser Lodge.
Yeah, that was odd. Maybe it’s the editing, but he hatched his plan before (as edited) he ‘knew’ Bob had the idol. And there was no guarantee that Bob would give it to him anyway. I wonder if Randy buys expensive cars, planning to win the lottery before he has to pay for them?
Now they just have to get rid of, in order: Corinne, Crystal (hopefully both go in some humiliating manner that crushes them completely and they end up broken shells of human beings for the rest of their days), and Suzie. A Final Four of Matty, Kenny, Bob and Sugar would be a hoot.
What did Randy say right before TC? Something like “And in an act of selfless humanity, Bob gave me his immunity idol.” Yup, got that act of selfless humanity right between the shoulder blades, didn’t he?
I’m guessing Bob has to play the “I found the fake idol, I didn’t make it” angle for himself though. If Randy & Corinne find out he made it, he’ll never get their jury votes. Of course, any other jury members can tell them what they know, so it’s a long shot for Bob to be able to keep that secret from them.
