Survivor: One World Episode 8

With the women voting against the men and the men following suit in Survivor: One World Episode 7, Jonas was eliminated because apparently he was a threat.

Jay and Troyzan have decided that the next vote needs to be a girl. They are worried about giving up the power. It’s a little late for that.

At the reward challenge, they will race down a waterslide, gather puzzle crates from the water, and solve those puzzles. The winning team will get a BBQ and some uncola. Jay, Troyzan, Kat, Alicia, and Chelsea go against Michael, Kim, Sabrina, Christina, and Leif. Tarzan is not chosen in the schoolyard picks, so he will not participate, to the disappointment of none. Jay and his team have a 1 piece lead as Christina heads back to work on the puzzle, not helping at all while the rest of her team carries their final piece. She nominates herself supervisor of puzzle building. This could have ended badly for her, but in the end they win as the other team squanders their lead and falls apart.

While the guys and Christina continue pigging out, Sabrina and Kim start talking strategy. They want to push the girls to the top and get rid of Mike.

Back at the beach, the losing team openly discuss their options. The men suggest Christina. The women here want to get rid of Mike, too.

As the wind picks up, Tarzan removes part of their bamboo wall to use for firewood. Here comes more yelling. He asks Chelsea if she’s happy with her breasts, since she seems to have a problem with plastic surgeons like himself.

Kim tells Troyzan that Mike wants to get rid of him. Doesn’t seem like it takes very much to get Troyzan upset or to buy a lie without questioning it.

At the immunity challenge, they will race across a bridge while maneuvering bags of puzzle pieces along a rope. The first four will move on to the puzzle stage of the challenge. Jay finishes first. Kim is second. Troyzan comes third. Mike was in it but blows it, and Alicia is the fourth to finish the first stage. This could take some time. I’m not sensing the smartest people have made it this far after what had been a largely physical start. The trick in this puzzle is that it can look right until the very last piece, which Alicia and Kim both find out the hard way. His slow and methodical approach pays off, and Jay wins immunity.

Chelsea asks Jay, right in front of Christina and Alicia, who supposedly are the enemy, what he thinks about getting rid of Mike. He responds that he’s scared of the girls. If they get rid of Mike, they’ll get rid of him next. Makes sense.

Mike tells us that he’d like to see a blindside because that’s always kind of fun. Good luck with that.

Jeff asks who is worried. Nobody raises their hand.
