(Stephanie and Bobby-John not shown)
Not much different this week. A recap of last week's episode, a bit of infrared camera footage of Judd getting mouthy, with Margaret casting down the traitor stone. NAKÚM is in political disarray.
The next day it's more of the same for YAXHÁ (ya sha) Tribe, with crocodiles, politics and a growing gap between the hicks and townies.
This week's reward is rather decent, considering. Along with the obligitory pitchers of margaritas, chips, and dip, the winning tribe gets a floating swim area that is crocodile proof, and totally surrounded by decking, lawn chairs, tables, and umbrellas. For the first time in two weeks the winning tribe will be able to escape the oppressive jungle heat without risking life and limb.
The competition looks to be a same-old same old, but the first station requires cutting through two heavy manila ropes with stone knives. Brandon takes on this responsibility, and is an incredible MONSTER at it, cutting through the inch thick ropes in about 30 seconds, and the YAXHÁ tribe never looks back.
In fact, they finish all of the other stations and cross the finish line before Jaime has cut through the rope (as his tribe members look on in disgust).
One tribe member operates a catapult that flings rustic looking balls high in the air. The other tribe members try to catch them in nets. First tribe to catch five balls wins.
Blake is a nonstop talker, about himself and his exploits. Brian is one crafty dude who picks up on this early on and creates a divide between Blake and his teammates by "Blake Baiting", keeping him talking until everyone is sick and tired of his endless blather. One of his stupid comments make this week's "Best Line Of The Show":

Do all the participants speak Spanish? There are other landslides in Central AMerica linked with the 'Semana en Espaniol' social set.
2 - Joanie
It's a little freaky how much Brian and Blake started to look alike. They could be cousins, at the very least. Blake's comments at the end of the show summed up perfectly why he was the right one to leave.

"in the end Danni's swing vote goes against the frat jawbone."
Bobby John voted Blake off as well.

Joanie - Damn! I left the room before that little segment. What did he say?
Roger - No shit? That shifty-eyed no good unloyal so-and-so!
I think everyone was sick of listening to his jaw flap. Brian was right on top of that stuff. Clever!
