Tonight on Survivor

Week before last, JT found an immunity idol. Last week, JT and the other guys on Team Heroes conspired to pass that immunity idol to Russell, a total stranger who happened to be the last male player on Team Villains. Their rationale for this was that "obviously" the women on the Villain team were in an alliance, and Russell needed to be saved from the Evil Women.

This week, the teams merged. Villain Sandra stole a moment alone with Hero Rupert and told him the real scoop: the internal divisions of the Villains had never been along gender lines, and Sandra was the real odd one out on that team. Since Rupert and Sandra had been allies in a previous season, Rupert believed her. Since JT was very much invested in his fantasy of Evil Women, JT did not believe her. JT's conviction was bolstered by a series of not-terribly-plausible lies from Russell.

Danielle (a Villain) wins the immunity challenge. Considerable maneuvering ensues. The ex-Heroes, what with one thing and another, decide not to vote for their primary target Parvati, but for Jerri (a Villanous red shirt). The ex-Villains decide to vote for JT. After the voting, Parvati produced two immunity idols - the one JT gave Russell, which Russell gave her, plus one she'd found herself - and handed them to Sandra and Jerri. Sandra and Jerri thank Parvati and play the idols. JT voted out.

JT congratulated Russell, but not Parvati, before he left. In his final words, he said that the lesson he'd learned (from Russell lying to him) was "never trust a woman."
