Episode 13: "No one backs me into a corner! I`m gonna put up a fight, even if it`ll destroy my team!"-Louise Belcher
Following their tribal, as soon as Team Niagara Jade gets back to their bedroom Louise stands on her bed and starts to make a speech about being team leader. While Bart and Teddy find the speech motivating, Lisa says in a confessional that Louise isn`t the one who is running things anymore and that she and Bart are the real ones at the bottom of the pecking order. She also says Louise can act like the team leader all she wants but that position doesn`t give her individual immunity from the votes and how certain players feel about her.
The next morning, Bob is shown sleeping in his teams' room where he has a crazy dream. In it Bob is Mario, Louise is Luigi, Gene is Wario and Tina is Warligi. The 4 run into Bowser, who strongly looks like Jimmy Pesto (Bobs rival), and Bob defeats Jimmy by throwing a burger at him making him blow up. Linda, who is Princess Peach, appears and looks like she`ll give Bob a kiss when she suddenly starts pecking his nose with her umbrella. This wakes up Bob who finds a seagull on his forehead pecking his nose. Bob panics and wakes up Hank, who shoos the bird out the window before discovering the house has landed on the beach. The 2 men walk downstairs where they find all of the other players and Calvin, who is doing a role call and checks Bob and Hank on the list upon seeing them come down. When Bobby asks what`s going on, Calvin says the house needs to have inspections done since it was due for a few months. Suddenly, Hugo and Ron (Bobs 2 health inspectors) come in and say they need to examine the house for the rest of the day and don`t want anyone to come in and bother them. Everyone else gets escorted outside and Ron locks the door. As Homer screams they all got no breakfast, Hugo throws a bread box full of bread and butter and a keg full of milk out a window and accidently hitting him in the head. Calvin tells the teams they get to spend the day at the beach (which is followed by a montage of the beach to Chris Rea`s song "On the beach") before the teams sit down to eat breakfast.
Bart talks to Louise alone and says that since she is team leader, they need to start a plan to take out Lisa and Meg. Louise says she fears the 2 may have teamed up with Teddy and Bobby and that group will be a tough nut to crack. When Bart asks if she has any clue where the new idol is now, Louise says she has zero idea. While she gets up and goes over to the bread box for the bread she spots another idol clue under it and after making sure no one is watching, Louise takes the clue and pockets it. In a confessional, Louise says she feels like she`s at the bottom of the barrel and the idol would really help her out at this point. While Louise begins to walk around the house where Hugo and Ron are inspecting the bathroom, the alliance of Lisa, Meg, Teddy and Bobby are seen talking together. Lisa congratulates Meg on standing her ground and speaking up for herself in a way yesterday. Meg says she does feel way better about herself and admits she actually is enjoying the game for once. When Lisa tells her that Meg is prepped up for the big showdown, Meg asks Lisa in confusion what she means. Lisa then says she needs to take the source of most of her life's problems head on and points to Peter who is stabbing a piece of bread that looks like Megs face over and over with a butter knife making Meg feel scared.
Later while everyone is relaxing on the beach or having fun, Bob and Hank walk together by the side of the ocean and talk about what they should do if they both get to the merge. Hank believes that a 5 person alliance plan would be the best bet which Bob agrees to. Hank then says that maybe the 2 of them along with Peggy, Bobby and Louise could team up and stay together to the finals. Bob says it`s a terrible plan for him because he feels that once that group of 5 gets to the final 5, Peggy and Bobby will manage to vote him and Louise out next. He tells Hank they should just use one family member each in the alliance and ask someone else like Homer or Peter to be the 5th member. Hank dislikes the plan and the duos disagreement slowly begins to cause a fall out.
Near the house, Louise spots the new immunity idol hanging on a door knob but before she can get it, Calvin calls out that it`s immunity challenge time. Louise manages to grab the idol and hide it in her shoe before running off to the reward challenge site, which is just a small jog down the beach. At the reward challenge area, the 3 teams are shocked to see Calvin wearing only a speedo (and his eye patch) and Homer says he`s going to go blind while several women say that`s a crime against fashion. Calvin tells Homer to take it like a man since he`s not going to wear his fancy tuxedo where it can get dirty. He tells the teams that it`s reward challenge time and starts to explain the basics. There are 8 marked spots on the beach where teams will have to dig with their bare hands. One player will dig at a time for each team where they must unearth large 3-D puzzle pieces. Once they get the piece back to the start, the next player will go. After all 8 pieces are collected, 2 players will start putting the puzzle together and the 1st team to complete it will win the reward. While the teams debate, Hank and Bob find themselves feeling a bit hostile at one another and Bob says in a confessional that anyone left on Misty Emerald apparently wants to play an individual game. Hank says in another confessional this may be a problem. For Niagara Jade, Louise seems to be doing the most talking and strategizing and decides to send the weakest player for the team first and work their way up to the stronger players so they won`t come out too strong to the other 2 teams. Lisa says that idea is stupid but Bobby and Bart seem to think it can work.
The challenge starts and Bob, Vinny and Teddy all go first for their teams. Vinny gets his piece first and hinders Teddy by throwing sand at him as he digs. Vinny then gets Salsaobes 1st piece to the starting mat and Peter goes out next for his team while Bob comes back with Misty Emeralds first piece. Peter digs fast but Hank outperforms him and gets the next piece out and back to the start while Teddy is still struggling with Niagara Jades first piece. As the challenge goes on, Salsaobe and Misty Emerald keep going back and forth to being in first place while Niagara Jade is 2 pieces behind the other teams. While Meg runs out to get Niagara Jades 5th piece, Roberta and Hank both run out to collect their teams last puzzle piece. Hank drops his glasses as he unearths the last piece and stops to look for them with Bob shouting directions where to move his hands to them. This helps Roberta get to the finish mat first and Calvin tells Salsaobe to get 2 players to start working on the puzzle. Marge and Lois start to try and put it together while Hank slowly makes his way back to the mat. Hank and Bob then work on their puzzle while Meg brings her teams 5th piece back and Bart rushes out for the next piece. Salsaobe gets an early lead on the puzzle but when they use all the pieces and find out it`s in the wrong position, Marge and Lois are forced to dismantle it and restart at square 1 while Bob and Hank start to figure out how the puzzle goes together. They make quick progress and Lois and Marge struggle to make something go together and by the time Bart brings Niagara Jades 6th puzzle piece back, Bob slides Misty Emeralds last puzzle piece in place which wins the team the reward challenge. Calvin congratulates the team and asks if they will take comfort or advantage for the reward and once again, Hank picks advantage quickly for his team. After Calvin says Misty Emerald will get an advantage in the next challenge, he dismisses the team and everyone leaves and hangs out around the house.
About 2 hours later, Louise sees Vinny and Lois talking together near the back of the house while Hugo and Ron check out the tribal patio for mold. In a confessional, Louise says that she can`t shake the feeling that she is on the outs with her team and that she may need to form some relationships with other players before the merge. Louise walks up to Vinny and Lois and tells them that she heard about an alliance going on with them and wants to join them if they all get to the merge. Lois is flattered that someone on one of the other teams wants to team up with her and says that she will consider it. In a confessional, Lois says that she won`t guarantee Louise in her alliance but she can be useful in a way to them for a few episodes. Vinny feels Louise is up to something and tells Lois they should keep an eye on her. Vinny then gets up for a walk.
Peggy and Marge are relaxing under a palm tree drinking from coconuts when they see Vinny walk by and ask if they can join him. Unsure, Vinny says yes awkwardly and the 3 walk down the beach together. While they walk, Peggy asks Vinny how he feels being back in his old alliance. Vinny says it hasn`t been too stressful and that he feels it could help him possibly get to the end now. Marge tells Vinny she doesn`t trust Lois and while they may be family, he should proceed with caution about forming a tight alliance with her. Vinny tells Marge he can play the game any way he wants and Peggy tells Vinny if he changes his mind he can talk to her. Vinny appreciates the idea as the trio arrive back at the house and in a confessional, Vinny says it feels unlikely he`ll join a new alliance but will keep that window of opportunity open just in case because he hasn`t forgotten or completely forgiven his alliance for treating him the way they did earlier.
As Vinny heads for the ocean, he sees Louise sneak away quietly from everyone behind a huge sand dune. Curious, Vinny begins to follow her from a distant quietly. He sees her take her immunity idol out of her shoe, brush off some sand and hide the idol in her hat and Vinny barley gets away unnoticed. Vinny then goes to Lisa and tells her he saw Louise find a new immunity idol. When Lisa asks if he is sure, Vinny says he didn`t get a good look at it but has a strong feeling she does. Lisa thanks Vinny calmly but in a confessional Lisa says this could be a problem for her alliance if Bart and Louise have an idol at this point in the game.
While all the teams enjoy their time on the beach and a break from the game, Calvin suddenly announces that the immunity challenge is going to take place soon and the players should get their swimwear on. He calls out to the house to give the players their swimwear and Hugo tosses a suitcase full of the players' swimwear which hits Peter in the head. When Homer laughs at Peter's misfortune, Peter gives Homer a wet willie and Homer begins to give Peter a purple nurple when Calvin separates them. Bob asks where the teams will change while looking uneasy and Calvin leads the players over a steep sandy dune where they see a waterpark close by. Calvin tells the players that there is a locker room in the pool and once they change they need to go to the 3 big waterslides that go straight down that seem to overlook the whole park.
After the 3 teams get to the park and into their swimwear, they all meet Calvin at the park who is still in his speedo. Roberta and Homer desperately plead with Calvin to wear something else so that they don`t have to look at him in his speedo all day long but Calvin says it`s his only swim wear and they can easily ignore it. Calvin then tells the teams to get ready for the next crazy challenge. One person from each team will wear a bungee cord around them and go down the steep slide. Halfway across the pool below are 5 big puzzle pieces made of foam. Players must unclip the puzzle pieces and the rest of the team must use the bungee cord to pull their teammates back up the slide before sending them down for more puzzle pieces. Once all 5 get collected and are at the top of the slide, the players will all go down the slide via. stairs and get to a marked area by the pool where they must stack their pieces to form the shape of a pyramid. 1st 2 teams to do so win immunity and the last team goes to tribal council where someone will go home tonight. For picking advantage in the reward challenge, Team Misty Emerald gets to start the challenge with 2 puzzle pieces already on the top of the slide. Once Calvin explains the challenge, everyone starts to get into place.
Bob, Marge and Lisa are all picked to be the ones who retrieve the puzzle pieces while the rest are in charge of pulling them up. Calvin starts the challenge and the trio all go down their slides fast to the bottom where they then wade for the bobbing puzzle pieces. Lisa takes 2 puzzle pieces and Bob takes 2 puzzle pieces since they are too big to carry all of them at once while Marge stays back and unclips all 5 pieces before trying to get them to the slide. When Marge gets to the slide, Bob and Lisa are already being pulled up and as she calls to her team she moved the pieces closer, Marge ends up with a cut on her arm forcing her to swap places with Roberta when she gets to the top with her pieces. While Marge and Roberta are busy with that, Bob and Lisa go down the slide again and get slightly ahead of Salsaobe. However, when Roberta slides down all she does is grab 2 blocks and get pulled up right away while Bob and Louise struggle to return their puzzle pieces. When Bob gets to the top of the slide with Misty Emeralds last piece, he and Hank grab all of them, unclip Bob and run down the stairs as Roberta and Lisa slide down again. Hank and Bob get to the marked spot on the poolside area and begin to assemble the puzzle while Roberta gets pulled halfway up the slide with her teams' last piece and Lisa wades out to collect her teams 5th piece. Because the puzzle is surprising easy, Hank and Bob solve it almost in no time and Calvin announces Team Misty Emerald won immunity once again to Bob and Hanks joy. While the 2 men celebrate, Roberta brings up her teams last piece by the time Lisa wades back to the slide. Roberta unclips herself and all of Salsaobe runs down the steps with Homer taking a crash fall at the end. The team gets to the marked spot and quickly start to assemble the puzzle while Team Niagara Jade desperately tries to pull Lisa up their slide. The team works together and solves the puzzle. Calvin announces that Team Misty Emerald and Salsaobe win immunity and gives them the immunity sculptures while a dispirited team Niagara Jade lets go of the bungee cord sending Lisa falling into the water. As Calvin tells the team to work out who to vote for tonight at tribal, Hugo and Ron show up to announce the house passed all health requirements. When they see Calvin in his speedo, they shriek and yell at him to cover it or they`ll sign him up for a public health violation. Calvin wraps a towel around his waist and tells the teams they`d best get going to the house while Hugo and Ron can`t stop shuttering.
Teddy goes off later to sunbathe alone while Homer and Peter can be seen in the background towel whipping each other and everyone is back in the house later on (where Marge can be seen getting her cut bandaged by one of the shows medics). Bart suddenly walks up and sits next to Teddy telling him they need to talk. He explains to Teddy that the biggest threat on the team they should vote out tonight is Meg since she has the immunity idol and it could actually make her a threat down the road. Teddy says he will consider and Bart leaves smirking. In a confessional, Bart says that once they have Bobby and Teddy onboard, things will carry out as he and Louise have planned.
While Bart works on Teddy outside, Louise talks to Bobby in the lobby and tells him she needs him to vote out Meg. When Bobby asks why, Louise starts to flirt with Bobby and tells him that Meg is an under the radar threat and voting her out would help him get farther in the game. When Louise leaves, Bobby has a surprised look on his face and Louise tells herself her work here is done.
Lois suddenly meets up with Louise and tells her that she talked to her alliance (which she really didn`t) and tells her the alliance may have a spot for her after the teams merge. Louise thanks Lois and feels she is really being a leader of the game rather than just her team.
Later Lisa, Bobby, Meg and Teddy meet up and Lisa tells the group that due to an unconfirmed but possibly accurate tip from Vinny, Louise and Bart may have the immunity idol and they should split their votes with Bart and Louise to the other trio's surprise. Lisa says weather Bart or Louise play the idol, the alliance will vote for the other player in the revote since there could be a tie. All seem to agree with the plan but as Lisa leaves, Teddy grabs her and says that maybe they should vote out Meg tonight while she won`t see it coming. When Lisa asks Teddy what he means by that, Teddy tells her what Bart said and Lisa tells Teddy that Bart is the enemy and shouldn`t believe him. He tells Teddy that he and Bobby will vote for him while she and Meg vote out Louise since Louise may also have the idol and is more of a threat with one than Meg. In a confessional, a worried Teddy says he has no idea who he should trust: Bart or Lisa. He says he literally has the fate of many people in his hands and it makes him sweat nervously. Bobby tells Lisa that Louise tried to sway him today and they need to stick together with the vote since Bart and Louise have what it takes to get to the end. Lisa tells Bobby the plan is in motion and they`ll have to put their fate in Teddy that he will pull through tonight.
That evening, Team Niagara Jade goes to tribal council where they meet up with Calvin. Upon taking their seats, Calvin asks Louise the first question. He asks how the new team leader status is doing with her. Louise says it feels very, very easy to her while Bobby does a "liar" cough. When Calvin asks Bobby what he means by liar, Bobby says that Louise really didn`t do much except for causing the team to lose the reward challenge with her poor strategizing. Calvin asks Lisa if she thinks it`s fair to already cast Louise as a bad team leader even though she barely had that role for 1 episode. Lisa says Lois immediately did a good job as team leader for Salsaobe which is why they probably keep winning immunity. Calvin tells Meg the players will vote soon and asks if her having the idol concerns her more than last tribal and Meg admits it does while clutching it nervously. He also asks Meg if she thinks someone else may have a new idol on the team and Meg says no one can say for sure that the answer is yes. Calvin asks Bart if there are any alliances on the team that stand out and Bart says there`s him and Louise but then he pauses and has no idea what to say next as he looks nervously at his 4 other team mates trying to decide to say if the 2 girls or 2 guys are with him. Bart just says he and Louise are together but have no idol. Calvin asks Teddy if he thinks this vote will be important tonight as they are still up against 2 teams and one of them outnumbers them. Teddy says every vote is important as it will mess up someone's game even if they survive tribal tonight. Before the team votes, Calvin asks Lisa who she thinks could have an idol other than Meg and Lisa says Louise. Louise quickly regrets it and when Bart asks if she does, Louise lies to Bart and says she has no idol. Bart ends up looking a bit uncertain.
After that, Calvin says it`s vote time and sends Lisa to cast the first vote. When Lisa is shown voting, she writes down Louise and says she had this coming the day she blackmailed her and Meg. When Bart votes, he writes down Meg while saying the girl had better play her idol tonight if she wants to stay. When Teddy votes he looks very uncertain and starts to doodle on the paper a bit. After all 6 players vote, Calvin gets the results and asks who would like to play an idol.
Everyone is so busy looking at Meg that the whole team is shocked when Louise stands up, pulls the idol from her hat and says she is so not going home tonight. Louise gives Calvin the idol and upon inspecting it, Calvin says the idol is real and any votes against Louise don`t count. He then reads the votes. Meg gets scared when she sees her name come up first twice. She gets more nervous when the next 2 votes were for Meg that did not count. Bart gets the last two votes creating a 2-2 tie between him and Meg. Calvin tells Team Niagara Jade everyone will revote and can only write down Meg or Bart. Bobby takes the voting box back to the table and writes down Bart again, saying he really didn`t think this through like he did. When Louise revotes, she writes down Meg and says she hopes Lisa and Teddy will take her side again. After everyone but Bart and Meg revote, Calvin gets the votes and says he will revote and no one can play an idol this time, making Meg look nervous while Bart angrily hisses to Louise he thought they`d use the idol together once it was found. Calvin gets the first 2 votes and Bart and Meg each get 1. He then pulls out the next vote and Bart gets a second vote. Calvin gets the last vote as Meg privately begs herself that it won`t be another tie. Calvin looks at the vote and announces Bart got voted out. While Teddy looks guilty, Bart gets up and after giving Louise a look of hurt and betrayal, he leaves the game.
Calvin tells Niagara Jade he feels the team is divided and it could send them down to Misty Emeralds level or worse. He tells them the team needs to work together if they would all stand a chance reaching the merge and dismisses them. As they leave, Louise hisses to her team she is still alpha dog here while Lisa scoffs, Teddy looks scared and Meg feels happy she didn`t play her idol again.
