Boston Bob is sick of the way his buffoon tribe is so disinterested in building a comfortable camp, or doing any work at all. After a night of miserable rain, the tribe begins to tear down and rebuild their 4th or 5th shelter, if you believe Randy! But it’s honestly not surprising considering all of the Villians’ tribe members behaved exactly the same way on their original seasons of Survivor – no one is interested in doing any work if they can get someone else to do all the work.

The Heroes, namely Rupert, are lauding themselves for being an industrious tribe and enjoying the fact that everyone is working together. However, Rupert is not pleased with Stephenie’s coconuts and would prefer them to be much smaller. Rupert also thinks his best move would be to get rid of Stephenie altogether.

And then BOSTON ROB FAINTS, Y’ALLS! He’s walking in the woods while his pre- or post- recorded monologue is expressing his frustration with his tribe and the guy just eats it! Luckily Jerri sees it happen and is able to get help. It was actually really scary, to see a young man in great shape be unable to put a bottle of water to his mouth. I thought for sure he was going to be removed from the game but then medics announce that it’s worse than it looks and he is actually just fine. Rob laughs and says the incident brought about a case of cry-baby-itis, as well as an epiphany: Stop trying to play the good guy because it obviously makes him sick. Awesome.

Combined reward and immunity challenge! It’s the Make the Stairs Spell Your Tribe challenge so Jeff announces Tyson, J.T. and Coach’s familiarity with this challenge. Reward is tarp, rope, nails. Courtney and Randy sit out for the Villians and Rupert sits out for the Heroes because of his broken toe. Rob bounces right back from his having the vapours earlier.

The Heroes maintain a nice lead and I still wonder who the hell Danielle Frilly Pants is. Colby and James run together, which should have been broadcast in slo-mo. The Villians pull ahead…they win! James is pissed because he feels they succumbed to the “too many chiefs” blunder. Stephenie doesn’t like James’ attitude about that and while I love Steph, James is right. Back at camp, everyone agrees that it’s better to organize themselves and work together, choose a leader, but they keep arguing because they don’t understand that they are agreeing.

Tom says he thinks he’s better than James. Ooookay.

The Heroes are having a very difficult time deciding who to get rid of. Tom, Stephenie and Colby plot to get rid of Amanda while James enjoys telling the rest of the tribe how Stephenie must be what’s wrong with their tribe since she’s the only person to be the very last one on her loser of a tribe. Personally, I looked at it the other way and saw Stephenie carrying her tribe, but whatever. James goes absolutely crazy trying to get everyone against Stephenie that even though I agreed with his point about “one voice,” I now think he is completely looney tunes.

At tribal council Jeff asks James to point out who was bothering him during the challenge so he fingers Stephenie and they start fighting nonsense. Colby steps in to defend Stephenie, then Tom jumps in and basically reveals who is in what alliance for no good reason at all, except maybe to help Stephenie get voted off. On her way out Steph suggests the tribe not slag each other off so much, and James tells her to shut up. Oooookay.

Next week: Tom becomes the James Whisperer?
