Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 11/26/03

On night 27 Christa is accused of sabotaging the fish food source by throwing them in the jungle. She swears she didn't do it, but she can't prove anything. Sandra tells us she did it. At the reward challenge, the survivors got to see their loved ones (moms, hubsands, fiances, etc). Jon receives news that his grandmother had died. The other survivor gave up their chance to see their loved ones so Jon could find out more about his grandmother. Jon and his buddy went back to Balboa Beach for 24 hours and the rest went to another beach for 24 hours. Back on Balboa, Jon jokes about how his grandmother didn't die and the fact everybody else believed him. At the Immunity Challenge, the survivors worked a puzzle where they form as many words from "SURVIVOR PEARL ISLANDS" as they can. Burton wins. As the survivors are leaving Jeff calls them back. Burton spelt a word wrong and was stripped of immunity. Lill, Darrah, and Sandra were left and got a new set of words. It was a timed trial and Darrah won Immunity with 14 words. At tribal council Jon's white lie went unknown as Tijuana became the 10th person voted out.moreless

Very interesting episode

I know most of America believed that stupid lie, but I mean, come on, "She died, dude." You know it seemed believable then, but if you watch the DVD, it looked so fake,and you knew Fairplay and his friend were lying. I was surprised that they had to redo that immunity challenge though, I didn't expect that. In the DVD commentary for that episode, Burton was disappointed that he didn't get immunity, but he said that they did the right thing. As I watched the DVD, Sandra said in the commentaries that there was some drama going between her and Tijuana, so I think that's why she got voted off, and they got convinced by Fairplay.moreless

I can't believe those idiots bought Jon's joke about his grandmother dying.

They were really believing that his grandmother had died.

And that they felt really bad for him.

They should had known the kind of person that he was and still is.

He went and just fooled all of those people.

Into believing a "little white lie!"

This episode will go down in history and should be retitled, IMO, "Jonny Fairplay's Little White Lie!"
