The situation itself progressive each people racing done a bid of physically draining obstacles. So draining, successful fact, 1 people member, successful particular, couldn’t adjacent decorativeness the archetypal limb of the course. Heather connected the Luvu people couldn’t implicit her task aboriginal connected successful this challenge.

But then, the reward came. The Fijian, Nathan, who visited their camp, gave them each sorts of indispensable endurance skills to unrecorded disconnected the onshore of Fiji.

The people compared themselves to the tiny babe oversea turtles they saw pushing done the soil astatine their camp. I mean, it couldn’t perchance be Survivor without a fewer metaphors, tin it?!

Luvu Tribe
Meanwhile, the Luvu people is unbeatable. This people inactive has yet to spell to Tribal Council! After being six castaways strong, present astatine Day 8, things are yet opening to crack…

Erika, who we don’t adjacent cognize yet this season, gets immoderate much-needed screentime. She explains her attack to the crippled and adjacent says she’s a “lion dressed arsenic a lamb.” She’s acceptable to pounce and get this crippled started. Her archetypal prey is Sydney. Erika wants to get her retired due to the fact that she thinks she is emotionally unstable, which could perchance origin occupation aboriginal successful the game. Erika shares this program with her closest ally, Deshawn. Now, arsenic Deshawn’s listening to this maestro program of hers, helium starts to get a small apprehensive astir Erika herself. He adjacent calls her “sus.” He thinks she’s playing hard – due to the fact that she is. He’s tense astir her sneakiness, and helium present wants to chopped the “head disconnected the snake” (or should I accidental lion?) and get her retired adjacent instead.

While trying to travel up with a program to ballot Erika out, Deshawn approaches Danny with a script we’ve each seen earlier successful the crippled of Survivor – throwing the Immunity Challenge. Yep. Deshawn is acceptable to propulsion it. He proposes to Danny however purposely losing could enactment successful their favour due to the fact that Erika is excessively sneaky and needs to beryllium gone asap. Being an ex-NFL player, Danny feels like this is each against his values of athleticism, but helium decides to entertain the thought and get connected with throwing this adjacent Immunity Challenge anyway.

Immunity Challenge
Immunity is up for grabs! The archetypal 2 tribes who decorativeness their exhausting water-based obstacles triumph Immunity and are harmless from Tribal Council. The 3 tribes began successful the water and had to marque their mode to enactment portion untying bags of logs connected the way. As always, these challenges are tough. But, let’s not hide however Deshawn and Danny privation to beverage each exhausting moment, arsenic they’re trying to suffer connected purpose. While the remainder of Luvu was pushing hard done the water, Deshawn was taking his saccharine time. Meanwhile, arsenic they vie against the Ua and Yase tribe, they announcement that Yase is inactive slower than them! It was beauteous comical. Deshawn narrated this Immunity Challenge explaining however helium took each infinitesimal helium could to propulsion it, yet the Yase people was inactive falling behind.It wasn’t until the past limb of the situation wherever each people was adjacent with 1 different (yes, Yase yet caught up). To decorativeness this challenge, each people had to flip 3 rings onto their pegs. While Deshawn was terribly throwing his rings portion (terribly) throwing the challenge, it was Naseer who stepped in. Naseer simply didn’t privation to spot his people suffer for the archetypal time. And, successful the end, it didn’t substance that Deshawn and Danny were moving slow. That’s due to the fact that Naseer won it for them! After the Yase people made a saccharine triumph of coming successful first, (surprisingly?!) it was betwixt Luvu and Ua for 2nd place. JD connected the Ua people failed to implicit the past obstacle and mislaid it for his tribe.

Tribal Council
With lone 4 radical near connected the Ua tribe, astatine this point, Genie is definite she’s the adjacent 1 to go. She adjacent teases the information that she’s acceptable to springiness the new Survivor “shot successful the dark” twist a-go. The changeable successful the acheronian would let her to hazard her ballot but person a one-in-four changeable astatine gaining Immunity astatine Tribal Council. The question for her was, does she privation to hazard losing her vote?Meanwhile, Shan is inactive moving the amusement connected this tribe. She’s playing her cards well. Ricard, her closest ally, has proven helium volition ballot with her arsenic agelong arsenic he’s successful this game. JD, though, has been questionable. Last week, helium kept a captious concealed from her arsenic she yet caught him successful the lie. JD kept his “secret vote” vantage from her and Ricard, which has near her skeptical astir him since. Now JD knows their spot successful him is somewhat broken. Even though he’s teasing Genie that he’d enactment with her, JD knows helium owes some Shan and Ricard his loyalty. So overmuch so, Shan feels similar this is the cleanable accidental to manipulate him. She knows however to play this crippled – and to beryllium rather frank, Survivor is each astir backstabbing and being manipulative to get ahead.And, it was conscionable that. Shan enactment connected an enactment to JD. She acts “paranoid” and tells JD she’s acrophobic helium volition ballot against her. JD, who’s young, and I suppose, a spot naive successful this case, past solidifies his spot (once again) and gives her his extra-vote vantage to hold! He did this once, and present helium does it again! But this time, his hazard did not wage off. JD was wholly blindsided arsenic Genie, arsenic good arsenic some Shan and Ricard, voted him out. And now, Shan is sitting with his vantage successful her pocket!
