Roxy talked her way out of a spot on the island in Survivor: Philippines Episode 2.
He may have had no choice but to vote with the group, but Russell still agrees with Roxy that the Malcolm and Angie alliance is dangerous. He assumes he is their next target by default.
Abi has injured her knee twice, and she is making an extra effort to rub RC (who desperately wants to be her ally) the wrong way. She’d rather work with Peter, so she tells him about the clue RC shared with her.
Peter throws Lisa a lifeline. He doesn’t want to get rid of her. He wants to get rid of Mike, who was previously the fourth person in his alliance, instead. He also doesn’t trust the other person in his alliance, RC.
Jeff and Dana notice that the thing on top of the rice box is missing. They were staring at the idol the whole time, but they let Jonathan escape with it.
Matsing’s raft is missing. Yet another blow for the tribe that’s lost two competitions in a row.
For all the talk about how Malcolm and Angie are a pair, Malcolm says he really wants to stick with Denise.
At the immunity challenge, they will dive to retrieve puzzle wheels then solve a word puzzle. The first tribe to finish receives a fishing kit and canoe. The second tribe receives a smaller kit. Katie and Dawson sit out for Kalabaw; Abi and Lisa sit out for Tandang.
Kalabaw starts off with a lead. As usual, Matsing is losing, and Russell is more of a hindrance than a help. Injury prone Mike busts open his face when his team’s mask shatters. RC takes control of her team’s task, retrieving three in a row. Russell’s inability to climb a ladder is compounded by his inability to retrieve a piece, forcing him to return empty handed. Kalabaw is the first to gather all their pieces, and Tandang is not far behind. Matsing is two pieces behind, so far in dead last that it looks like they will lose yet another challenge. Kalabaw wins immunity. Tandang places second. Matsing loses for the third time in a row.
Jonathan admits what Jeff already knows. He has the idol. They make a deal with a four finger handshake, which Jeff tells us doesn’t count because it’s not a manly handshake.
Artis (who?) is mad about the challenge. He does not appreciate that Mike broke the mask and cost them the game, which they weren’t going to win anyway.
When RC goes hunting for clams, Abi starts her idol search with Peter, and she successfully finds it.
Malcolm and Denise have to decide between Angie and Russell, both of whom did not contribute to the challenge, though Russell was a far bigger liability, even if he would probably be more useful in other challenges, particularly if they need strength.
Russell says that Angie cannot make it 39 days, but he can. Last time, he nearly died after 15.

With 3 votes, Angie has been voted off the island. Hard to blame them for getting rid of her rather than Russell, but there’s a reason his name keeps coming up as a target.
Now that we’re done with the backstabbing and lying, it’s time for the Presidential debate.
