Even more awkward than being the third wheel in John and Candice’s Redemption Island Sandwich are Laura and Aras and their full-body massages, with everyone else sitting around and watching like it’s a bad late-night show on Cinemax.

The duel is a plank-bridge-puzzle. John completes his bridge first and advances to the puzzle. Brad is in second, with Candice in third. John finishes first, which leaves Candice and John battling it out for Redemption Island snuggle rights, and dammit, Brad! Brad finishes second, which is such a Brad thing to do. So Candice is out, buff burned. John gives the clue to Monica again, Brad tells her to toss it in the fire, and she complies.

The newbies examine their bug bites and foot rot which I guess they didn’t really expect. Tina’s daughter’s toenails are falling off and, well, that’s disgusting. But toenails or not, there’s an immunity challenge. It’s a Survivor slip ’n slide with a bonus ring toss. Because nobody ever goes hungry on Survivor, there’s a reward of a steak dinner for the winners. Sliding, tossing, and the newbies win their first challenge ever. Huh. Maybe Brad really was the problem. Oh, and they take the steaks.

Rupert’s wife, Laura, the outsider of the tribe, is so going home. But she tries to stir up trouble and it doesn’t work at all. With little surprise and even less fanfare, Laura is voted out of the tribe. Wait, what? That’s a totally different Laura! Why, that’s Laura M., the full-body-massage-giving Laura. I did not see that coming at all. And someone shoot Probst a memo, we need a new rule: no duplicate names on any tribe.

Next week, Jeff promises to switch things up.
