Behind the Scenes

 * Mario Lanza, the writer of The Funny 115, posted a commentary from Eliza regarding her discovery of the fake idol. As she approached the bag where Jason had stashed it, several cameramen ran up to her. Startled, she paused, asked if they were there for her, and when they gave the affirmative, she continued on to find the fake idol. According to her, the cameramen had all been threatened with losing their jobs if they failed to catch Eliza's first reaction to the fake idol on film.

Life at Ponderosa
Eliza arrives at Ponderosa and is overwhelmed by the amenities available to her. Her post-game medical shows that she lost 11 lbs. after 24 days. Eliza wonders what the remaining contestants will do now with Ozzy's Hidden Immunity Idol out in the open.

Three days later (Day 27), Eliza receives a message from the Ponderosa "Tree Mail," telling her that Tribal Council looms, and someone will join her as the second member of the jury. Before heading to Tribal Council, Eliza finds it hard to dress up, and undergoes several wardrobe changes.
