I have to admit, when continuity presenter Liesel promised this episode featured one of the most Controversial Decisions Ever in 'Survivor', I rolled my eyes. Indeed, I made a promise myself that if it turned out to be lame, I would hunt her down and force some horrible fate upon her, like non-stop infomercials or something.

Liesel, I am happy to report I will not be stalking you with videotapes I raided from the Glomail offices. What an episode! Thank goodness I had my smelling salts close by.

The episode started conventionally enough ? with Boo acting like a kook. He was making a hidey-hole in the long grasses so he could eavesdrop on any conversations his fellow tribemates might have. Brilliant! He can increase his certainty that they want to vote him out next from 99 percent to 100 percent!

I like Ninja Boo better than Ninja Alex. He's a way cuter Ninja even if he is more likely to cut himself on his sword.

Treemail hinted at a car reward, as well as some charity with the promise that "doing good for others is a price you can?t refuse". Oddly, the contestants seemed more focused on the car part. It's better to give than to receive except in the case of free cars, I guess.

Agility or strength

Dreamz in particular was determined to get that car. He didn't have a license because he'd never owned a car in his life so this was finally his chance to get some wheels. He was confident that he would prevail as long as the challenge was about agility or strength. I'll point out the obvious and point out he didn't say anything about intelligence.

The Reward Challenge did turn out to involve physicality. Unfortunately for Dreamz, the first round was a team-based obstacle course so he couldn't plow his way to victory on his own steam. Nevertheless, his team looked like they had the first round in the bag when they surged ahead on some balance beams. Yau-Man looked like he'd lost his mojo completely and kept falling off his balance beam.

Mad rabbit impersonator

Dreamz's team lost that lead when Cassandra got stuck at one point. Boo was able to dig up the bundle needed for his team to advance to the next round despite Dreamz's impressive impersonation of a mad rabbit. Too bad, so sad.

Stacy, Boo and Yau-Man moved onto the final round where Yau rediscovered his mojo and won himself a shiny new car: a Ford Super Dude. I only wish I was making that name up.

(OK, I'm lying. I am making that name up. I looked it up and it's actually a Super Duty which is still a dumb name but at least doesn't sound like it was named by a panel of five-year-old boys. Can you imagine if five-year-olds were in charge of coming up with car names? We'd be driving Honda Tyrannosaurs or Toyota Giant Shapeshifting Robots.)

Yau, who really is too clever for his own good at times, decided this was the perfect time to make a deal. He turned to Dreamz and promised him the car as long as he gave him the immunity idol if they were to both make final four and Dreamz were to win the IC.

I turned away from the screen, barely able to watch the giant target settling over Yau-Man like that green covering in the insurance ad. How on earth did he think this would go over well with any of his tribemates? Hell, why on earth did he think trusting Dreamz, the human see-saw, was a good idea?

Blinded by carlust

Blinded by carlust, Dreamz accepted the car without a second thought. Yay! Now he finally has somewhere to sleep! Yeah, I know. Tasteless joke. I?ll show myself out.

When asked whom he wanted to send to Exile Island, Yau did another unconventional thing; he picked himself. Yep, he did the only thing I can think of that could make the public deal he made with Dreamz worse. Now his tribemates could plot against him without a second thought.

The rest of the tribe got to enjoy the charity part of the challenge. They all got to deliver supplies for the local school in Dreamz's brand new car. The kids were all dressed exactly like mini-Jeffs in blue shirts and khaki shorts. Is this the Fiji Academy for Future Reality Show Hosts?

Doing it for the kids

Mark Burnett takes care of his future 'Survivor' hosts. Besides toys and games, he also donated a truckload of electronic and computer equipment to the teachers. They must have been leftovers from Moto Mansion's audiovisual room.

Dreamz had a great time with the kids. He said that he related to them 100 percent. Yes, when I think of someone who would have the most in common intellectually and emotionally with a bunch of twelve-year-olds, Dreamz definitely comes to mind.

Enough of this warm-hearted nonsense! This is 'Survivor', the backstabbiest show on television, so it was no surprise that underhanded scheming resumed as soon as the tribe got back from the charity run. What was particularly snakey was that it was Dreamz who was contemplating voting Yau-Man off.
