Day 17, and Lisi joins the boys club. Over at Moto, Earl successfully pulls everyone away from camp again so Yau-Man can do more searching for the Hidden Immunity Idol. He grabs the pick ax (I forgot they’re at the camp with its own Home Depot) and sure enough he uncovers the Idol! Aw, it’s a cute little turtle.

Yau-Man is quite happy so he kisses the Idol. Then he kisses it again. And again. Calm down there, buddy. He puts it in a not-so-inconspicuous place. Yau-Man, is that an Immunity Idol in your pocket or are you just freaking out again?

Later he reveals it to Earl. Yau-Man tells us he never would have expected a “big strong black man” would become one of his strongest allies. Earl is happy Yau found it and says Yau will let him use it if he needs to. We’ll see about that.

The Reward Challenge has the Survivors playing with fire. They’re taking turns flinging little fireballs with scoop things to try and ignite three targets. The winners get a trip to a Fijian arcade (huh?) plus hot dogs and beer. The budget must be a little tighter this season.

Dreamz hits his first shot for a 1-0 lead. Mookie laughs at Yau-Man but the elder hits the target for the tie. Mookie backs up his laughing with Ravu’s second score, then there’s a lot of missing until Dreamz hits another one for the victory. Earl is sent to Exile yet again.

The winners stuff themselves on wieners. Lisi says being with a bunch of guys is her “favorite place to be” and Mookie says you can “bump chests” with her. Well then.

Earl says he’s been in Exile so often he’s renaming it Earl Island. I like that guy.

The wiener winners have stomachaches and Rocky taunts them. Edger tells the camera that Rocky is too critical and harsh.

Back at Moto, Yau-Man gets devious and creates a bogus Immunity Idol and buries it where the real one was. That’s brilliant…if they fall for it. If they don’t, they’ll know for sure someone has the real one, which could complicate things.

The Immunity Challenge is the classic blindfolded Challenge only this time you’re breaking little skull piñatas with a club. Michelle is the yeller for Moto and she really gets into it. She can’t stand still and she dances as she tells someone to “Goforwardgoforwardgoforwardgoforward!”

Things that made me laugh: all the hard swinging and missing; Boo not knowing which way is left; Boo running backwards to protect his face; Michelle getting carried away and falling off the platform; Boo taking over the calling and saying, “I’m blind right now”; Mookie running into the fence hard; Mookie running into the fence hard again.

Moto gets to the puzzle first, and they win!

Edgardo says they want loyalty over strength so he wants Rocky gone. Alex tells Lisi he wants to find out who has the Immunity Idol. Lisi tells him it’s on their island somewhere. She says she wants to look for it with Alex and “Edguardo.”

Dreamz tells Mookie the others want to vote off Rocky. Mookie says he promised Rocky he wouldn’t vote for him. Dreamz says he might vote along with Mookie, and tells us he wants Lisi out.

The Tribal Council is a lot of nonsense. Seriously, nobody said anything remotely interesting. Bring back Anthony.

Rocky and Lisi vote for each other. The tally goes: Lisi, Lisi, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky…and Rocky again. Mookie kept his word, but his loser buddy is gone anyway.

Jeff says Rocky is the first member of the jury! So (doing the math in my head) that would seem to indicate another 3-person final. We’ll see if it works two times in a row.

Next time on…Survivor: Lisi cries, Boo dances poorly, Mookie somehow knows where the Immunity Idol is and looks for it while Lisi and Dreamz sleep.

Rocky’s farewell thoughts begin with a huge yell. Fitting.

I’m really enjoying the tag-team of Earl and Yau-Man. A chess match between them and the Alex/Edgardo combo after the merge would be interesting.

Rocky on the other hand can kiss Yau’s turtle.
