SFist Watches: Your Locals On Reality TV

At dinner, the girls were "treated" by an appearance by Miss J. who once again told them how lucky they were to be there. When he asked the girls how they decided to audition, Melrose launched into a long explanation about how she studied fashion design and had to make her own clothes because she was too tall and skinny for off-the-rack.

The next day CariDee complained about Melrose with Eugena, and in interview compared her to WWF Wrestling, in that she's fake and performs well, but there's nothing there. Um...yeah. Because most models are a vast labyrinth of thought and ideas. Melrose, meanwhile, complained about CariDee's vulgarity.

Dancing time! It's "Dancing With the Wanna-Be Stars"! And Melrose pretty much blew it. And when you blow it compared to Amanda, that's pretty bad. Eugena won the competition, and Melrose had a breakdown, talking about how dancing is her passion (when did that happen??) and she's pissed that they got critiqued on it.

Photoshoot! And Tyra was there! Good lord, those girls must be sick of her by now. Tyra told the girls that they'd be pairing up, Eugena and Melrose, and CariDee and Amanda, and they'd be floating in a pool. Once Melrose and Eugena got in the water, they're teeth started chattering because the water was cold, and Eugena had a harder time floating than Melrose did (of COURSE!). When it was CariDee's turn, and she stayed in a lot longer than she should have, she was chastised for not telling the photographer sooner. Which is a bit unfair.

Panel! Melrose and Eugena were judged together, and did a little dancing, too. The judges praised Melrose's half of the water photo, but thought Eugena didn't connect with the camera. Amanda and CariDee's photo was...fine. During the deliberation, Nigel admitted there was something about Melrose he just doesn't like, despite her seeming ability to do no wrong. But....she's still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. And she's in the final three with...Eugena and CariDee. Next week: Finale!

Previously on "Survivor," in an attempt to save his own ass, Yul finally had to admit to a few key players that he had the hidden immunity idol. And it worked! No one voted for him and he got to keep the immunity idol for another week.

Post tribal council and Jonathan began to try and do some damage control. The former Raro tribe was pissed about his turning on them, so he told them that Yul had the idol, and they still didn't believe him. Idiots.

Survivor auction time! Each tribe member was given 500 bucks and Jeff Probst brought out items for them to bid on. The first item was covered, but Jonathan bought it for 100 bucks anyway. It was a hot dog and beer. The next item was a hot bubble bath in a claw-foot tub, along with a big piece of chocolate cake. Pavarti bought it for 360 bucks and sat out the rest of the challange sitting in the tub.

The next item was something that would give the buyer "power" in the game. And that's all they were told. The bidding was fierce and Yul decided to give Becky some of his money so she could buy it, which she did for 640 dollars. It turned out she'd need to send someone immediately to Exile Island, and take all their money. She decided to send Candice (for the fourth time!). Probst brought up looking for the immunity idol on the island, and Candice said she thought she might know where it is. And then Yul busted out with "I can end the suspense. I have it." And then showed it to everyone.

Wha?!

He then explained that he had let several people know about it already, at a pivotal point in the game, and basically he thought its power had been played, so why not admit it now. Hmmm.

The next auction item was a soft-serve ice cream machine, which the winner would only get for the duration of the auction. And Ozzy bought it for the "magic number" price of 420. Nice.

Next up, a covered item that Jonathan bought for 240. And it was....a pepperoni pizza. Final items were a sea cucumber, and some tooth care items, which Jonathan bought with his final 100 bucks. And that was the end of the auction.

Back at camp, after some obnoxious burping from Jonathan, the tribemates-formally-known-as-Aitu started to wonder if they made a mistake teaming up with him.

Immunity challenge! And you know what? Immunity challenges are just not very interesting to recap, so we'll just say it involved the tribemates remembering a lot of stuff about what had gone on in the game for the last month, and a lot of knots. And Adam won immunity.

At camp everyone was talking about how much they all hated Jonathan. And frankly, we don't really get it. He isn't THAT horrible. He just playd the game well--a lot better than anyone on Raro, that's for sure. Yul tried to talk some sense into everyone, but Raro just threw back that Yul was a "ringleader" and he'd be next on the block if they didn't vote out Jonathan.

While Candice, Adam, and Pavarti were canoodling in a shelter, Jonathan and the rest of the tribe decided to eat all that night's fish. Screw the lazy canoodlers! Candice then went on a rampage outing everyone as Jonathan haters, including Yul and the rest of Aitu. Yul was left wondering what the hell he should do. If he went with the general Jonathan hate, and voted him out, the numbers (four Aitu, three Raro) would be in his favor, and if he didn't, Raro would be gunning for him...but he'd still have the numbers on his side. So we wondered what would be the advantage of NOT voting out one of Raro?

Tribal council! The Jonathan hate continued to flow, Yul was called a "puppet master" and he rightfully defended himself by saying everyone was out there to win the game, and he was just doing what he needed to do to come to that end. (And he was doing it a lot nicer than other players have in the history of the game, so Pavarti? Quit yer whining.) In the end, Yul did NOT vote for Jonathan, and Candice was sent packing. Go Yuuuuuuuul.
