It really looked for a bit there like Jaison was going home on last night's Survivor. In the immunity challenge, he was worn out and couldn't help push the boat or figure out the puzzle. He even admitted his weakness at tribal council, which is usually a sure-fire way to get your fire extinguished.

But Russell had his sights on Liz, and he got his way. She was a good competitor, but questioning Russell put her on his radar and a handful of moments of showing her frustration made a handy excuse for everyone else. But really, could you blame her for getting irritated when she was desperately trying to start the fire while Natalie and visiting-from-Galu Laura blabbed about Harleys and books? On the other hand, Russell wasn't wrong when he said that Natalie was doing the right thing trying to woo Laura since they're having such a severe numbers problem.

So is this alliance between Laura and Russell the real deal, or is she just stringing him along so he doesn't target him at the merge? Playing the men-are-superior card, whether she believes it or not, was probably the exact right move with Russell since he has a problem with women who question him.

So farewell, Liz. But now I can't wait to see what happens at the merge.
