Key
trial.
The camp mates were getting bored and irritated with Sanjaya's off-key and constant singing. But were all praise for his banana chips, which took a few minutes to cook, but were said to be a tasty refreshment. The celebrities are confused by Sanjaya's sexuality. When Sanjaya is around Janice, he acts very effeminate, but he obviously flirts with Holly like he's interested. Sanjaya explains to the celebrities that he's not gay, but he can be a great gay best friend. To combat boredom, the celebrities were given a video cam to make a 'slasher' flick directed by Lou and starring the rest of the celebrities. Later on they were given popcorn and allowed to view the movie.
The Challenge was a "Spider Web". Flags were placed in a rope formation which resembled a spider's web. The competing teams consisted of: John + Stephen and Patti + Janice.
John and Stephen won the challenge by collecting the most flags in the least time. The reward was "Chinese takeout". Janice did not take her defeat in stride and did not reciprocate when John offered a congratulatory handshake. Meanwhile, Janice's teammates were becoming irritated with her making excuses for her loss, despite her insistence to compete in the challenge.
Back at the camp, Sanjaya cooked a pasta dinner with an oil-based sauce for everyone. John did not like it and made it known. The hosts even commented about John being a great addition to the TV show "Hell's Kitchen".
There were constant references to the closeness shared by Patti and John. So also with Sanjaya and Holly. Holly's self-portrait was about the time she spent swimming with Sanjaya in the river. Janice commented that the drawing would look good in their wedding invitation.
Janice was told that she was not in the top 2 and Patti was not in the bottom 2. The status for the others were not announced.
John Salley was voted off and came in 3rd place. Lou Diamond Phillips is crowned king of the jungle and Torrie Wilson becomes runner-up.
's behavior on the show was largely criticized by the media. The couple claimed they were subject to torture and left the show's set multiple times before returning and ultimately withdrawing. TV Guide
, in an article, referred to their antics as "reasons that television is going downhill" and also revealed they only spent 14 hours inside of the chamber and were given food and water the whole time they were in it.
It was reported on June 7, 2009 that Heidi, who was last seen with Spencer being told they have to sleep in the Lost Chamber; and later be told what their fate would be after the team had decided what their choice was in terms of them re-entering camp, was hospitalized due to a putative gastric ulcer.
