Previously on "Survivor: Gabon": Clip show. Pffft.
Previously to that, we had the awesome episode where they blindsided Randy and it was awesome in its awesomeness. Post-tribal council Bob was peeved about all the laughing that went on over Randy's gullibility, even though he went along with the plan in the first place. He has a point, but we're talking about Randy here, and as Sugar said, he dug his own grave with his assholery.
Reward Challenge! Racing, puzzles, sprokets, flags. Time for tears! Reward was...not getting to see their loved ones in person. Instead they'd get video messages on a product placement phone. Before the challenge they each got little snippets of the messages, which lead to many tears, particularly from Sugar, whose sister mentioned their deceased father. The team of Sugar, Chrystal, and Bob won the first round. Last round was a slide puzzle, and Bob won it quickly. And surprise! His wife really was there in person! As were all the other loved ones! Hugs, tears. etc., but really big tears from Sugar, whose sister brought some of their dad's ashes to scatter.
OK. Back to the scheming. Bob told Corrine that he was going to make another fake idol, and tell someone it was the idol they threw into the ocean a few episodes back. Hmmm...
Immunity challenge! Gabon trivia and ball tossing. Bob won. Back at camp Bob and Corrine started their fake idol plotting, while the others were set on voting out Corrine. Corrine and Bob seemed to convince Kenny their bullshit was true, and then they tried to rope in Chrystal. Their target: Matty. Except the majority seemed to be planning on voting for Corrine, assuming she'd be using the (fake) idol, which would make her safe and then they'd vote out Matty. Math is hard and all, but it doesn't seem like Corrine and Bob really plotted this out very well.
Tribal Council! When Probst asked if anyone had a Hidden Immunity Idol, of course Corrine didn't play it. Kenny looked shocked, as he had believed it all and voted for Matty. No worry, though, because Corrine got four votes to Matty's three. Brilliant plan there, Corrine. Corrine spent most of her exit interview talking about how much she hates Sugar. Why? Because she's not as stupid as you thought?
Previously on "Top Chef," Jamie Lauren loved soup.
A letter from last week's axed chef Rich left Jamie in tears and compelled her to craft a rainbow colored bracelet in honor of the fallen members of "Team Rainbow." Frankly, we're glad Team Rainbow is no more because we don't want to type the words "Team Rainbow" any. More.
Quickfire Challenge! "Dancing Shoes" DiSpirito was guest judge and the challenge was a breakfast amuse bouche. Which Jamie apparently never ever eats, explaining that even as a kid she'd eat cans of Chef Boyardee instead of breakfast foods. Remind us never to eat breakfast or brunch at Absinthe. Her amuse was a b.l.t with egg and some balsamic syrup. She was in the top three, but the win went to Leah because her amuse bouche was actually an amuse bouche, which is to say, one bite, not two...JAMIE.
Elimination Challenge! Create a dish for a 2 1/2 minute TV presentation, suitable for a live TV broadcast. This seems like a challenge more suited for "The Next Food Network Star," but whatever. Jamie decides to do a dish she has made on live TV before (hmmm...where? "Bay Cafe" perhaps?) and makes a frisee salad with a fried duck egg. For someone who doesn't like breakfast, she sure seems to like eggs. At the challenge, the chefs were flanked by Rocco, Padme, Tom, AND Gail. Sheesh! Jamie didn't let the white of her egg cook enough, and grossed out Rocco. And us. Bottom three!
Appropos of nothing let us mention there's a chef on the show named Jeff who works at the Dilido Beach Club...Dilido Beach Club...Dilido...sorry, but there's no way we're not thinking the obvious every time that name appears on screen.
Elimination! Jamie was called out for not just flipping that damn egg over when she knew time was running out. Hell, we do that when we're too hungry to wait for that sunny side-up egg to set. Tis all right, though, as Jamie was not eliminated and lives to cook another day.
