Night 24, and Kenny is feeling good about himself and his two blindsides. Bob knows he’s in trouble.

The next day at the Reward Challenge Jeff announces that Marcus is out. Charlie and Corinne gasp in horror but Matty smiles like the Joker.

The game is slingshot golf and the best two out of three holes wins an overnight trip to a Gabonese village. Corinne sits out. Jeff refers to them as “Fang,” rhyming with “dang.” Fang Dun!

Kota scores first thanks to Bob’s drives and Kenny’s putt. Fang ties it on the next hole. On the final hole Kenny barely misses twice with Fang inches from the win. Randy and Matty yell at each other but Matty makes it. Sugar doesn’t do anything the entire time.

Corinne sends Bob to Exile to try and find the Hidden Immunity Idol (that isn’t there).

There’s a feast and dancing. Randy says one of the dancers likes him. Ew.

Poor Bob finds all the clues and even finds the nail where the Idol used to be. So he makes a fake Idol…for himself! And it looks great with beads and shells. That’s how it’s done, Ozzy.

Randy says he holds a major grudge against Crystal the “Sasquatch.”

The Immunity Challenge is individual because we finally have the merge. Kenny rubs Matty’s arm and whispers, “I missed you so much!”

The contest is fire-making. Susie of all people is the first to get flame. Matty chops his finger. Sugar of all people is the second to get her fire started. Both have big fires before anyone else even gets a spark.

Susie wins! Well burn my rope and call me Big Foot. So when Susie said she’s stronger than Corinne she must’ve meant with flint.

Back at camp Charlie and Randy talk about voting for Crystal along with Corinne and Bob. They target Sugar as their fifth vote. Corinne tells us Sugar believes them because she’s a “moron.”

Kenny, Matty, Susie and Crystal first talk about Corinne but Kenny wants Charlie because of the incident with the Hidden Immunity Idol clue at the fake merge dinner. Kenny convinces them that Charlie is the mastermind.

Kenny takes his lie to Sugar, but Sugar remembers his lie about Ace.

They name the tribe “Nobag” which is Gabon backwards. Bmud.

At Tribal Council Randy says he was mad because Matty wouldn’t listen to him during the Reward Challenge. Crystal asks Randy why he has issues with her. Randy says she and GC made Fang a living hell, because her “posse” ran the tribe like a “gang.” Yikes. Is Randy going to bust out a white hood?

Kenny says Charlie is a nice guy. Randy says Kenny isn’t a kid any more. Sugar says she has a good idea who everybody is even though she spent so much time in Exile.

Randy votes for Crystal and calls her a naughty name. Kenny votes for Charlie, Charlie votes for Crystal, and Sugar cries.

The tally goes Crystal, then “CC.” Jeff has to ask whose vote this is and Randy admits to it. Then it’s Crystal, Crystal (4-0), Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie (4-4)…CHARLIE!!!

Charlie says he’s happy he can see Marcus again.

Next time on…Survivor: Randy gets naked for real, he tells Matty the final three will be Kenny, Crystal and Susie, and Kenny tells Crystal he’s the glue.

I guess Sugar thought it was safer to stick with the liars she knows. I still can’t get my mind around the power brokers being Kenneth, Matthew, Susan and Crystalina.

Yzarc.
