It could not have been a full-on tribe swap, however Survivor‘s l’il shake-up Wednesday was sufficient to show the sport on its head.
After this week’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it reward problem (severely, what was up with that modifying?), three gamers head out on a journey that in a short time threw everybody’s plans into disarray. When Jaime, Carson and Josh arrive to the island, there’s no prisoner’s dilemma or bag of tips. They every obtain a free idol, as in the event that they’ve handed GO and easily collected a helpful potential life-saver. However there is a catch, and it has nothing to do with dropping one’s vote. As a substitute, every participant discovered him- and herself returning to a model new tribe!
Jaime heads over to Soka and Carson lands at Ratu, leaving Josh to set sail for Tika. However with alliances already solidified, do these three odd males (and lady) out have any probability at surviving? (Armed with an idol every, the reply is a powerful “sure,” however extra on that beneath.) Take into account: Jaime now has an actual idol and a faux idol… however after all, she’s none the wiser. Are you able to think about if she performs the faux idol earlier than the actual one and will get the boot due to it? It could actually be a crushing blow (for her), however I’m almost salivating for that incredible TV.
X DOESN’T MARK THE SPOT | Elsewhere in idol information, Carolyn continues to be seeking to dupe somebody along with her faux idol. When her tribe wakes up one morning, they understand two items of wooden are sticking by the birdcage within the type of an X, all of the handiwork of — you guessed it — the Minnesotan drug counselor. Carolyn then sticks the faux idol with the unique be aware inside their bench log, and locations one other “X” proper beneath it. Sarah’s the unfortunate soul to search out it. She’s enthused and completely believes it’s the real-deal. (Go on. Admit it. You underestimated Carolyn and doubtless nonetheless are. It’s OK. It occurs to the very best of us!)
IMMUNITY IS BACK UP FOR GRABS | On this week’s problem, gamers should leap off a tower to seize a key, traverse a floating stability beam, get to their mat, then full a manta ray puzzle. Tika can’t get the job performed, which places former Soka member Josh in a extremely robust spot when his tribe heads again to camp to strategize.
Regardless of wanting to stay collectively, Carolyn, Sarah and Yam Yam present issues (and rightly so) that Josh might have an idol or benefit up his sleeve. However after Yam Yam tells Carolyn that “they suppose I’m a risk and also you’re not,” she’s clearly peeved. And it’s not the primary time he’s stated that to her, which looks as if extra salt in a reasonably recent wound. (Her irritation makes it seem to be we haven’t seen every part. Wasn’t the edit attempting to promote us on their friendship simply final week?)
The gloves come off as Yam Yam, eager to make Josh really feel comfy, performs up the truth that he and Carolyn don’t get alongside, and serves her up as a possible vote-out. Sarah even assures Josh they wish to play with him. They’re a few liars, which in Survivor is truthful recreation… if solely they didn’t suck at it. Josh not solely exhibits Carolyn his idol, however says he’ll play it for her, too! (He can’t be that dumb, proper?) However with Carolyn’s belief (or so he thinks), Josh appears to be feeling fairly OK heading into Tribal. Carolyn is aware of she runs the danger of dropping Yam Yam’s belief, however notes that he and Sarah don’t do a lot to make her really feel like she’s actually with them. “So why would I’ve any loyalty to them?” she asks. In a tribe of solely 4, you’ve bought to guard your self, and so far, Carolyn’s been fairly adaptable. (Sure, the road for the Carolyn fan membership begins proper behind me, thankyouverymuch.)
THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN | Jeff asks Josh all about beginning over in a brand new tribe, whereas Yam Yam says he doesn’t wish to be faculty mates with Felicia anymore, which positive, should make some form of sense in his head. It’s laborious to inform whether or not this “drama” between Carolyn and Yam Yam is performative or actual… possibly it’s a mixture of each? (Carolyn does appear wired although. What do you suppose? World’s finest actress or is she truly feeling attacked?)
When it comes time to vote, Josh does play his idol, however he well and accurately performs it on himself. Two votes for Josh are voided out, whereas the remaining two votes (Carolyn’s included) are all it takes to ship Sarah outta there. In her closing phrases, she nonetheless thinks she’s joined “a particular membership of unhappy, unhappy individuals” who all went residence with an idol of their pocket. Boy, is she in for a shock!
