• The 10 Worst Movie Posters of All Time Much like a movie’s trailer, the sole purpose of the poster is to entice you into seeing a particular film. When properly designed, they can draw in scores of viewers to an otherwise average (or below-average) movie. And when they’re botched, well, bad posters can also serve as the final nail in the coffin for an impending box-office flop.

Blackmail or Betrayal

At night after TC Alex and Mookie realize Dreamz turned on them. However Dreamz was the one lone vote for Mookie the others voted for Edgardo. The next day they talk and Dreamz tries to convince them he didn't betray them.

Reward Challenge
Reward: luxury spa resort.
Challenge: giant sling shot ball catch in a muddy field (they were divided into two teams).
Orange: Yau-man (sling), Mookie, Boo, Cassandra.
Green: Stacy (sling), Alex, Earl, Dreamz.
Boo hurt himself trying to catch a ball and required medical attention.
It was close but Green won 5-4 with a final catch by Dreamz. They chose Boo to go to Exile Island, saying he had a lot of luxury so far in the game.

Reward Spa
Alex said in private that he will try and work his way into the dominate alliance. Stacy said it was awkward having him there.

Back to Camp
Mookie tells us that he feels that he's the next one gone. While Yau-man is fishing, Mookie searches his stuff and finds out that he has an Immunity Idol. Cassandra and Stacy hear Mookie, Dreamz and Alex talking about Yau-man's Immunity Idol (they plan on catching Yau-man lying about it at Tribal Council). The guys then found out the women heard their plans. Later the three guys confront Yau-man and threaten him with blackmail over the Idol.

Exile Island: Boo
Nothing much happened, not sure if the clue is very helpful.

Immunity Challenge
Challenge: big grid puzzle, they each secretly selected three squares and then played a game sort of like Battleship.
Stacy won Immunity, it came down to Stacy, Yau-man and Alex.

Scheming Is Free
Alex and Mookie plan on raisin' some hell before being voted off. The Big Earl alliance targeted Alex, some talked about splitting vote for fear of a Hidden Immunity Idol.

Tribal Council
Alex and Mookie's plan to raise some hell doesn't go over well. They brought up Yau-man's Hidden Immunity Idol after talking about snakes and rats. Jeff asks them how they know he has an Idol, so they looked like a snake or a rat going through someone else's personal belongings. Yau-man played it cool, he said there is a certain expectation about privacy but that it's just the game.

Voted Off: Mookie
Final words: . . . kind of relieved to be done . . . would have been nice to still be playing . . . it was a great experience . . .

Jeff Probst's Final Thought
Based on what I heard tonight, it sounds like there's a group of six and Alex which means he's either the odd man out or very valuable.
