A man much wiser than I once said, "Boston Rob and Amber are going to do it." That's all I'm saying... about that.

Day 20: Man, nothing happens here... Oh wait, Tree Mail!

"Pick one ambassador to get on a boat and visit the Mogo Mogo tribe camp. Bring this message in a bottle with you, open the bottle and read the note aloud to the Mogo Mogo tribe. Follow the instructions. Bring the pen."

Ambassadors. No one wants them, but we have a show time to fill, so we go to the only fair way of settling this... straw draw. Jenna comes up short. She's going to Mogo Mogo, and... "I don't think it's a good thing."

Later that day, Jenna arrives at the other camp with this note:

"Dear Ambassador,
Pick three separate items from this tribe that you feel your tribe would like to play for in today's Reward Challenge. You cannot choose anyone's personal items or clothing. Write these items down on the parchment provided in private. Do not let anyone know of your choices. Get back on your boat and bring the parchment directly to the Challenge."

Meanwhile at our camp, people start to suggest taking Tom. That can't be a good sign. Kathy's taking a good look at the alcohol and the tarp. Also not good.

Challenge... good. Jenna and Kathy arrive first with their parchments. The items read...

Jenna: grill, bag of rice, and fishing spear
Kathy: parachute, tarp, blanket.

No fire water? Oh well. These are the prizes up for grabs in...

R-CHALLENGE: Log Jam

One by one, man vs. man, woman vs. woman, each tribesman will try to outroll their opponents. First team to do so five times wins.

Mogo Mogo's out to an early lead, 2-0. Then comes Jenna, Boston Rob, and Amber, and it's 3-2 Chapera. After the redraw, Shii Ann ties it up, but Boston Rob and Amber deliver another Chapera victory.

Night 20: Where there's smoke, there's...

Jenna returns with rice and a grill. Get used to this, it's probably the only time we'll ever see Chapera this happy to see Jenna. Rupert gloats over his new weapon, thinking about the next shark hunt.

And speaking of fish hunts, Rob gets his own going right quick, as he and Amber start flirting... and backrubbing... and cuddling. Amber had no prior plans to take it this far. As for Rob, for everything that Amber had that he wanted... "Her ass was smokin' too."

Amber on her feeling toward Rob: "I love having that comfort level. I love that he keeps me warm at night. I can vent to him, complain to him about anything and he won't hold it against me." Then they kiss. I'll wait for you all to stop retching before I continue.

Okay, that's long enough. Rob's take: "It is all in good fun. Definitely attracted to her. It would be nice to have the million dollars and take the girl away too."

Day 21: Fish measurement... or something.

The boys go fishing. Rupert takes his new Hawaiian sling. Rob, after having crossbred our pirate friend with Grizzly Adams and Aquaman, shows what he can do with said Hawaiian sling. And the "arrogant pain in the ass" does him one better, picking up eleven fish. That's one better than the fish that Rupert got, and would've been canceled if Rupe got the shark. "I think it made him realize, 'We can use Rupert or the Hawaiian sling. The Hawaiian sling doesn't need any rice, so Rupert's stock just went down about twenty points.'"

I-CHALLENGE: Choose Your Weapon

It's all about aim and weapons. Using a blowgun and a spear, the teams will earn arrows for the final round, where one tribesman must shoot all of them. Closest team to the bullseye wins immunity. After the blowgun, Jerri gets the Mogos two arrows to Chapera's one. With the spear, Rupert fires, as do a lot of people. But he makes it to the yellow for two more Chapera arrows and one for Mogo Mogo. That's three for each. Jerri convinces her tribe that she's an expert with a bow. She isn't. Rob doesn't convince much, but he is, securing yet another Chapera victory.

And Amber's all hot for him now. Good for her. No, not really.
