Yeah, that was not what I expected to hear when she first started talking about her story. Good for her for coming so far, though. I'm impressed!!
Emily's big move is making her a threat. She also wins the rock pull for going on the excursion: she has to complete a puzzle to be safe at the next tribal (or lose her vote if she loses). She doesn't try the puzzle, and gets back on the boat.
We got to see some of Dee and Austin's budding relationship. They referenced Rob and Amber, talking about the possibility of finding one's spouse on the island! lol

Austin "gave" Julie his idol -- can't he get it back? Drew made it sound like she seems to think it's hers now.

Ohhh, Austin. (shaking my head) He tells Dee about the plan to boot Julie, because of his crush. ugh
Dee goes right and tells Julie, OF COURSE.

Julie plans to use the idol. But, who knows I was sure Bruce would use his. I want Dee voted out for snitching. What the heck? You couldn’t sit next to Julie and win this, what is wrong with you?

Emily has the episode's title line! Does that mean she goes??? I hope not -- I'm liking her storyline this season. ETA: dang it, after playing her idol, Julie chose Emily to go. boo. On the way out, Emily says she's voting for the best player, who she already told us is Julie. Austin was really sweating it, but he didn't play his amulet -- he will next week, he says.

Nooo stupid Dee had to snitch so Julie used her idol and Emily ended up getting voted out.
Crap.

Dee should go next week.
I think she is playing Austin.

They were all leaning forward to see who Julie voted out. Emily was doomed, I fully expected her to make jury soon, just not this week, but Dee managed that one. Oh well.

Austin should of got his idol back that night after TC.. He's all loved up with Dee, so he just has to tell Dee about blind siding Julie.Dummy!
I liked Katurah this episode, more than any other. Drew is smart, but then so was Emily. Emily was instrumental in getting Bruce out, now she's out. I get they become friends, but don't lose sight of why you are there. Jakes still hanging in there. lol

I don't really understand why Julie listened to Dee, when Dee admitted that she has two number ones--Julie and Austin.
Somebody needs to break up the Austin/Dee alliance, and it would have made more sense to get rid of Austin, who's the far bigger threat to win immunity challenges.
Really liked how classy Emily was going out. She does seem to have learned some stuff about the game and herself.
At this point, I'd really like to see Dee go out next, as she basically wrecked everyone else's game plan to suit herself. Or Austin for being stupid enough to tell Dee like that and to get rid of an obvious immunity threat. Either way, just break up that team. Usually romantic pair-ups end up being an obvious target. Aren't the rest of them seeing what's going on there?

Called it. Last week was a horrible decision for Emily.

Two thoughts:
1. I thought Emily made a big mistake explaining that she told Bruce Julie was playing him. You DO NOT have to tell everyone everything. Just let people think Bruce is crazy, Duh!
2. I wish that Julie had voted Austin, I really, really do. I would have been fine with Julie voting for Dee. Dee and Austin need to be separated.

Drew so wants to make a big move and they are blowing up all around him. The beauty of this is that it saves everyone but REBA. He really is jeopardizing his own game. Not that I care. Please blow up your game. Seriously this is going to save Jake again.

OMG Katurah's story is crazy! Poor child. Normally I don't really care about players background as they cast for the most dramatic but I give the girl a lot of credit for over coming poor parental choices early in her life.
I do want to know after hearing her background and that she was removed from school at age 5 which is kindergarten, that school administrators thought it would be a good idea to put in her in high school because she was 14? Are those school administrators that STUPID? Or does it really not matter if a child has missed 9 years of schooling and does not know how to read, write, or do arithmetic because in the current system in the USA no other student does either? IDIOTS.

If Julie had gotten Austin out, she would have looked a lot more bad ass---not only would she have taken out a huge threat in immunity challenges but she would have gotten him out using the immunity idol he gave her and stupidly never asked to have returned to him. Imagine sending someone home by using their own immunity idol against them---now that's a big outwit moment, isn't it? Plus, she would have broken up the romantic duo of Dee and Austin after Dee basically told her that she had two number ones, and Austin was the other one. So, really, is Dee on Julie's side or not? If Austin decided Julie needed to go next, would Dee vote with Julie or with Austin? Break up the pair and there's one less potential vote against her, and she really should have known that there are reasons people wouldn't want to sit beside her at the end. Certiinaly, if she didn't know that before tribal council, she definitely knows that now.
The only good thing about this is that now maybe the others won't be so quick to want to trust or work with Austin and Dee because they know Austin told Dee, which was stupid, and Dee then scampered off to tell Julie, as the rest of them were afraid she'd do. At this point, they should then either want Austin out because he's a big challenge threat and is part of a power couple to which he's more loyal than he is to any other alliance he's made or Dee out because she's the other half of that power couple is more of a threat at challenges than some of the rest of them are, and, more importantly, she's apparently leading Julie and Austin around by the nose, which means she potentially has three votes she can control (Austin, Julie, and herself) in a game where the numbers are now so low that even one vote can make a difference.

I thought she said 5th grade, not 5 years old. ? But good for her, either way, being smart enough to go to college, and pass the bar after attending law school! Whoo hoo for her.

I heard 5 yrs old but it was 5th grade. Still she missed 3 to 4 years of schooling, Katurah needed to be on a catch up plan not thrown into a classroom and expected to succeed all on her own.

Another great episode on a fun season.
Pretty much agree more or less with everyone.
Wanted Austin gone for not getting his idol back, for telling Dee, for not realizing she would tell Julie and for losing Emily who was a way better number for him than anyone else and now Julie is against you.
I am not sad Emily left ONLY because this whole "your vote is your life" schtick. Eh. Immunity is your life. But on the other hand she hasn't been rocking the puzzles and it did say no one has solved it yet. IDK. But then she didnt have to go back and brag about the Bruce thing. (as already mentioned) Thats something you save for TC. Either way, while she wasn't my first pick to go out , I am ok with her going.
I think Julie didn't vote out Austin bc Dee wanted Emily out so bad and she needs to keep her relationship with Dee strong to move on and Emily isn't a number for her either. Emily is loyal to Austin as much as Dee is.
Katurah's backstory was amazing and she is playing a decent game, she outlasted Bruce, she wanted Julie out as much as anyone but taking no heat. I think everyone likes her, she knows she needs to make some moves for the final 3, so she is self aware she needs to do things to be the winner. Fingers crosssed she does them.
