She sits down, dazed - well, a little more dazed than usual - and Becky and Sundra wrap a buff around her injured thumb. The fishermen return, and Adam admits he's a little creeped out by fingernail injuries. You may be aware that I freak out and puke when confronted with eye trauma. Some people faint at the sight of blood. Adam can't deal with a split fingernail. Jon is openly hoping that Parvati will either have to be Medevacced to New Zealand or bleed to death, but the Survivor medical staff lets her off with one stitch and a bandage.

Reward Challenge! Jeff says the challenge is to use a small bucket to fill a large bucket, which sounds about as exciting as a challenge of hopscotch. But there's more! The loved ones are here! Jon's wife (wait - Jon's straight?!), Parvati's dad, Adam's dad, Becky's sister, Yul's brother, and Ozzie and Sundra's respective moms emerge from behind a tree and come over for hugs and banter.

And the challenge suddenly gets a bit more interesting: it's a wet T-shirt contest! Well, it turns out that way. The Survivors are blindfolded and have to fling water at their loved ones, who are in charge of the large bucket. So it's pretty wet and wild, and Jon's wife gets the good idea of wringing the water out of her shirt, but Parvati and her dad wind up winning. I think Ozzie scoops up a flounder in his bucket at one point.

So Parvati gets to pick someone for Candice Island (it's Jonathan; quelle surprise) and Paparvati gets to pick two more Survivor/loved one combos to join them for their adventure. He picks, without any help, Sundra's mom and Adam's dad. Ozzie, Becky, and Yul bid adieu to their family members, and a strange group heads back to camp.

They putter around camp for a while. Parvati shows her dad that she's surviving; Adam and George throw the old pigskin around; Sundra and Mom collect firewood. Ozzie bitches that Adam and Parvati are having a good time, and in fact still alive, because of the food he's brought them. As a waiter, you think he'd be used to being treated like crap by the customers, but what are you gonna do.

So he and Becky and Yul make a pact that they'll hide some of the food and not continue to be servants to the slackers. I love these guys so much.

The others visit a native village where they dance, get lei'd (quiet, you), and go to an underground cavern with a pool. The natives explain that they used to sacrifice virgins here; Parvati looks around nervously then jumps in. Sundra makes the Survivor producers very happy when she interviews how cool it is to learn about other cultures. She also realizes that Adam and Parvati are OK people without Captain Jonathan Bringdown around.

Then they pig out on fried chicken, corn, and biscuits. They don't call 'em the South Seas for nothin'. Pass the grits!

Ozzie's "Hide the Food" scheme takes a little bit of a hit when Parvari, Adam and Sundra come back with takeout. It seems the waiter has become the waited. Becky has the good sense to look a little sheepish, though 50 bucks says the takeout was Sundra's idea.

Jonathan returns from Exile Island with his literal feather in his cap. No one says hi. The Immunity Challenge is a convoluted nautical obstacle course; Ozzie takes form of Mountain Goat and gets out to a huge lead (quelle surprise encore), the girls flollop over some wet barrels, and no one really makes a serious run at Ozzie.

At camp, Jonathan is lingering around with a giant target planted on his back. Sundra tells him - not a bit convincingly - that their original plan to take out Adam is still on. Jonathan doesn't quite believe her. Since she's the only one who even says a word to him. I almost kind of feel bad for Jon.

Adam tries to sell Yul on the idea of Jonathan going home instead of Parvati or himself. Yul interviews that he kind of feels like the Godfather, being asked to perform a hit on someone. He tells Adam that what he asks for is not justice, and if Adam had shown him respect from the beginning, he would have nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, he doesn't slap him and yell "You can act like a man!". That would have been awesome.

Jon comes to Yul for his audience. He does everything short of Sallozzo's "I'm not that clever" speech; luckily, Sonny isn't around to tip the family's hand. Yul wishes Jon good luck, as best as his interests don't conflict with Yul's.

Jon tries to rationalize to himself, or the cameramen, that it would be a bad idea to vote himself off.

Tribal Council! Adam says he doesn't think Jon deserves to stick around; Jon asks why, and Adam (Adam!) delivers the line of the episode. "It's your integrity. You don't have any." I'll beat the dead horse one last time, and say that Adam has had any number of chances to get rid of Jon; the multitude of ex-Raros on the jury can testify to that. Jonathan starts talking about trust and debts owed and all that crap.

The votes come in, and as soon as the third Jonathan vote is revealed, he knows his goose is cooked. His exit line - "I want my hat back at some point" - is not quite "'Tis a far, far better thing...", but oh well.

Jeff's Words of Wisdom - well. He says that trust is an issue, because Jonathan trusted in them. HOGWASH, Jeff. No one trusted Jonathan. The Superfriends trust each other, and rightly so. Adam and Parvati have no choice but to trust each other. Jonathan never fit in, he screwed everybody over at least once...and Jeff says there will be lingering trust issues? Hogwash, I say.

Next Week: Will Ozzie flip out of the Superfriends? Will Yul and Becky cut him off before he gets the chance?* Can Yul trust that fat Clemenza?

*Note to Yul and Becky...you do NOT want to go into the Finals against Adam or Parvati with the jury full of ex-Raros. You don't want this. Promise.
