That, coupled with his vote for Suzie and Sugar et al laughing when Randy revealed the FHII, all but confirms that Sugar herself made the FHII and left it there for Bob to find. It's a 100% believable scenario. A scenario that could very well actually be told to Corinne. We just didn't see it in the previews. They chose to show about Marcus's HII that was sent adrift and i think we're assuming that THIS is the excuse Bob gives as to why it was fake. But if you look at Corinne's reaction, she's not angry. In fact, she's giddy as a school girl. The time for explaining himself is over and Bob is already back in Corinne's good graces at that point. At least that's how it appeared to me.
We'll see on Randy's promise. Really a better tail would have been Bob saying he unearthed the fake Hidden Idol at EI...which is true. He did unearth it, at least part of it. I do believe they discuss things at the Ponderosa even though aren't supposed to.
Bob would have to have dug up Marcus's idol back before the merge wouldn't he? Or is that why there were the screencaps posted here about it being a scary dangerous wild out there. Do you think Bob & Corinne attempt to find their way back to Kota to retrieve it? And weren't we shown the bottle floating in the ocean with the idol still attached?
What i can't figure out is why he's sharing it with Corinne. He's gotta know with the 2 people left, there's not much hope for them. Unless, of course, the 4th and 5th place members of Kenny's group want to use their votes to split up kenny/crystal/suzie. Now would be the perfect time to do so.
On another note, i don't think Sugar told Bob she had the real HII. From her reaction & comments while Bob was describing how he went searching and didn't find the HII, she was keeping mum about it. ONe thing that did catch my attention, is Sugar telling him that playing the FHII would give him a bit of a chance to stick around longer but if that didn't work out and he wasn't able to stick around, she had other plans for that. I can't remember her exact words but it was at the end of their 2nd private meeting where she convinced him to play the FHII. I'm almost thinking that if things start looking bad for Bob, that she (and maybe matty/kenny) would join in with Bob and form a new group.
As for the whole set up humiliation thing. I agree that it was mean, but if ever it was deserved, it was now. Especially since he took so much pleasure in being ugly to everyone back at camp. I was dying of laughter at how everyone was laughing and smiling as the votes were being cast, each thinking they were going to pull one over on the other. I know people online constantly talk about needing a new monitor as they just spit their drink out from laughing so hard and it's always just a saying. But tonight, when Crystal was shouting her vote and Sugar was busting a gut, I literally spewed a whole mouthful of water all over myself. The best part is we had been talking about it earlier today in here...about doing exactly what Crystal did!
Best.episode.ever!
