Back in the actual game, Li'l Russell's tribe is sick of winning immunity and keeping their horrible tribemate around, so they decide to throw the next challenge. Julie isn't sure it's a good idea to lose on purpose, but the rest of the tribe is on board and, sure enough, they lose. Onomatopoeia wins comfort items and an immunity clue for Rob, though it's too vague for him to figure out. Back at Zapato, no one knows that Ralph has the idol, so the alliance of six decide to split their votes three and three just in case Li'l Russell has it.

This gives Li'l Russell a chance to stay in the game, as he and Stephanie try to convince "the old woman," a.k.a. Julie, to switch to their alliance and vote for Ralph with them. Julie totally looks like she's going to go for it, and even nods at Li'l Russell during a Tribal Council dominated by Stephanie's assertions that Li'l Russell is the greatest thing to ever happen to this game, but when the votes are read, it's a three-way tie between Ralph, Li'l Russell (or "Ressell," as dumbass Ralph writes down) and Stephanie. On the re-vote, Li'l Russell is sent to Redemption Island, where he'll probably win his way back on this stupid show.
