Twila tells the men she didn't fully trust them. That oughta calm them down. They surprisingly do not assault her.

"Women bad!"

On the morning of Day 22 Sarge says he has "despisal" for the women. Isn't that where you put your leftovers?

Next up is the Pecking Order Challenge. You know, the one they bust out as soon as there's an obvious alliance with the majority. Sometimes it works (when the Rotu 4 blew their victory in Marquesas) and sometimes it doesn't (pretty much every time since).

The winner will get a helicopter ride to a dormant volcano for a picnic. I'm glad not Immunity's not involved this season. Since you don't control your own destiny in this game (you can be the first one out even if you get every question right), all you need to know is the order people were eliminated. Sarge, Chad, Chris (all the men), Eliza (she's really upset), Julie, Scout, Ami, then Leann beats Twila in the final.

Leann naturally gets to choose a companion so she picks Julie. She tells us it's because she was the one person she was least sure about in her alliance. They take in a great view and feast on chicken wings and Champaign. For dessert they talk smack about Eliza then discuss voting Scout out in fifth place.

Winging it.

Back at Camp Bitter, Eliza says Scout and Twila were out to get her in the Challenge. Scout tells her it's because she's so smart. Uh, yeah. Eliza and Scout each tell the camera they want the other person gone. Has the POC actually worked for once?

The men go off in the boat. They don't think anyone besides Eliza would vote against a woman so they want to get Eliza out before any of them.

The winners return. Julie had tied some chicken to her leg and they quickly pass it out and eat them before the men return! Then they pass out the bones and tell them that's all they were able to bring back. And the men happily gnaw on the bones! Awesome.

Eliza checks the mail and finds a pig tied to the tree. So that's how she got it. Sarge and Twila want to eat it but the message says they'll need it later. Sarge continues to pout about "Estrogen City" and says he'll bond with the pig "and have some friend up in here." Y'all gonna make me lose my mind.

Eliza got pecked.

The Immunity Challenge is recreating a colored-shape puzzle. There's no way I could do this. After the first round, it's clear none of the men can do it either. Scout and Twila go out in round two and Eliza is done after round three. Julie and Leann both fail in round four leaving Ami with Immunity.

Ami wonders if it was smart to win and wonders if the other women will go after her. She also says she's voting for Sarge.

The boys still want to try and get Scout to vote off Eliza. Eliza on the other hands talks to Ami about Scout. It's not going to happen.

Sarge finally confronts Twila about the flip-flop. He confesses she would've been 4th, but says they were honest about the final four. Twila tells him it was because of what Julie said. She then says she screwed up in voting with the women. Hmmmm. Chad now wants to get Twila and Eliza and make a move. You know you're desperate when trusting Eliza is your best option.

At Tribal Council Jeff tries to egg on Eliza about being an outsider with the women. She says she's the only female who brought her stuff with her tonight because she doesn't want to suffer from "Rory Syndrome" and be too confident.

Color blinded.

Jeff asks Sarge about the division. He just opens up and spills everything, the promises with Twila, Julie's trickery, etc. Twila goes along with it and says she was in the middle because she did fell more comfortable with the men. Who need secrecy?

We're reminded the person voted out tonight will be the first person on the jury. They vote. The only one we see is Chris…voting for Sarge! What the…. "I'm gonna burn every one of them," he says, apparently channeling Rory. "Just let 'em open the door. This is for you, not against you." Huh? That's even worse than the "this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you" bull your parents used to sling. So much for any suspense.

Tally: Sarge, Eliza, Julie, Sarge, Sarge, Sarge, Sarge. So each of the men voted for somebody different. Brilliant.

Next time on…Survivor: It rains. Finally some bad weather. These people were getting off way too easy. And "Scout makes her move." It's implied that she, Julie and Twila are considering voting with the men. I'll believe it when I see it.

If the women do put their gender first the next two weeks, the question will be where they split amongst themselves. Twila and Scout seem to be a pair. Julie is being shifty and may have both Eliza and Leann thinking she's on their side. Ami seems to only be concerned with making sure a man doesn't win. Maybe Scout's best move is to go with the men. It would take a potential ally away from Eliza (Julie) and strip Ami of all her power.

Which woman will we hear roar?
