The designated irritating gnat on Motorola, Dreamz of the many zeds, took a break from making pom-poms out of palm fronds to tell us about his days of homelessness. Now before you break out your tiny, tiny violins, this wasn't sorta-homelessness that involves living in your car or sleeping on friends' sofas. This was proper homelessness where he was forced to dig through dumpsters for food. Even worse, it started when he was seven.
Whoa. Major props to him for not only getting out of that rut but also somehow turning into the hyperactive Pollyanna we all know and lo…well, we all know at least. Dreamz went on to say that compared to the circumstances he'd been in, 'Survivor' was a piece of coconut cake. Well yeah, real homeless people don't have toilets, silverware and mangoes whenever they want. No wonder Dreamz is so upbeat about being there.
Hell, even the sad bastards at Ravioli have a better lot than the homeless. They have an all-you-can-eat coconut buffet. For some reason, all coconuts all the time isn't the most satisfying prospect so a couple of the castaways scouted the island for any other food. They searched far and wide but could find nothing but some unripe fruit.
Pineapple discovery
Back at camp, Erica stumbled upon some pineapples just outside of their camp. Her tribemates hailed her as a goddess among men. Earl thought it was a miracle and expressed his desire to marry her. Wow, with all this love for her, surely Erica was set for an episode or two?
You'd think so, wouldn't you. The Erica lovefest lasted until the Immunity/Reward Challenge. Ravioli managed to take the lead early on thanks to some lean, mean rope-clipping machine skills from Michelle, but lost the plot completely when they got to the puzzle portion of the challenge. Erica was loud and pushy about what she thought was the right way of doing things. It wasn't. Ravioli lost and guess who got the blame?
Motorola got to choose someone to go chill with the sea snakes. They picked Earl. Every time I type his name, I have to curb a desire to add a "My name is" before it. Earl was unfazed by the thought of all those snakes. "I’ll eat 'em," he baddassed.
He may or may not have kept his promise. A friendly snake surprised him and Earl's response was to machete the hell out of it. He then apologised to its bloody, mutilated corpse and said that he thought snakes were just misunderstood. Yeah, great comfort to poor Snakey's slithery orphans, Earl.
On learning that the Hidden Immunity Idol was somewhere back at camp, Earl was worried. What if someone found it? Knowing that the fools took four days to find a whole grove of pineapples that were just under their noses, I have a feeling the idol is safe.
Erica in trouble
Earl's love and potential fiancée was in trouble back at camp. The tribe consensus was to vote for Sylvia but Rocky and Cookie decided they wanted Erica out instead. Just one episode back, you were in an alliance with her, Rocky! Oh what a tangled web we weave.
Rocky and Bookie detailed their plans to their tribemates not named Erica. Most people were game except for Michelle, who wanted to vote for Sylvia anyway just for being annoying, and Anthony, who thought it was a bad decision.
Anthony argued the case for Erica staying and Sylvia going. She was a bad influence on the tribe. She was tearing them apart. Sylvia is the Yoko Ono to Ravioli's Beatles. Well, if the Beatles had sucked.
The game was on. A tie was a very real possibility. It was not to be however. Anthony's words fell on deaf ears and everyone voted for Erica except for Anthony and Erica herself. And right after she found them pineapples as well! Bitches. I hope they choke on their damn blood pineapples.
Next week: Ravioli either make fire or are delirious enough from thirst to hallucinate that they do. A Motorola member is in big trouble, injury-wise. Oh dear, Boo stabbed himself in the lung with one of the forks, didn't he?
