Ride the Workhorse: Pt. 2!
Fei Long chooses to kidnap Dave, who will remain with Fei Long till the next immunity challenge, and he’s given the private message to open later. Zhan Hu heads back to camp, and more fireworks go off while Fei Long celebrates!

Back at Fei Long, they’re excitedly awaiting their reward. Dave says he feels like he’s on vacation. He’ll get to eat well, and since the deal with Sherea, he couldn’t ask for a better time to be kidnapped. He tries to hug James who is like “Dude, stop, I told you about the hugging.” Too funny. He says he’s spying for himself, not the tribe.
(UGH. SNAKE.)
He opens the clue, and he has to give the sealed clue to someone and he’s laughing and is trying to decide who he’ll give it to because it could help him later. He’s all over everyone and Todd says he’s a nut job. He takes Dave to show him where the kiwi’s are. Dave says he’s cool, and says he has a good hunch he could trust him. (oh Dave.) So he asks Todd if he believes Turn about is fair play, and when Todd says yes, and he’ll return the favor. Dave tells us he trusts him, and they’ll win and get the same thing, and he feels there’s a loose alliance going on.
Todd reads the clues, three of them, and he’s looking for it on the sly. He looks right at it, but there’s no telling if he figured it out or not.
At Zhan Hu, they’re talking about how Dave is way to happy going to the other Tribe. Sherea was glad he’s out of her hair for a couple days, and there’s no conflict without him around. Dave is a work horse, and it helped them, and Frosti says now they have to take up the slack. Everyone’s working, while Sherea is laying down and sleeping. Oh Sherea, not a good idea. Erick is having problems starting the fire, says he’s having a hard day. He’s frustrated and tired, and he feels like SOME people are getting away without working. Frosti gets the fire started, and Sherea tells us she’s trying to conserve her energy for the challenges and she’s gonna ride the work horse till the tail falls off - she’s not gonna do anything till she has too.
Back at Fei Long, the fisherman family comes to teach them how to fish, and cook a meal for them. Denise tells us it’s the best reward they could have ever had - everyone is nice, the kids are so pretty, there’s fish and veges, rice, oil, pans and everyting looks together. Jean Robert speaks Chinese! So he is able to translate, and everyone is shocked, Todd was like it was fantastic! JR says it had been 20 years since he spoke the language, but it all came back when he needed it. He was as surprised as them.
They send birds out, to catch bait, and Denise is laughing that they thought they’d eat the birds. James gets offended that Jean Robert is translating - but barking orders. He can’t fault him though, he did good and was what they needed it. They get shown how to use the net, to get fish too, and everyone eats a huge meal made for them. Denise said it was the ‘delicate-est thing” she ever put in her mouth. Amanda is grateful for the cultural experience and the advantage of good food for upcoming challenges. (It’s nice to see more of Denise finally! She seems to be really enjoying the whole of the experience too.)

[...] brings Fei Long some food and we hear lunch lady Denise speak for the first time, I think, ever. It appears her anonymity wasn’t exactly a secret. Jean Robert knows Mandarin and translates for the family and his tribe. We’re all impressed. [...]
