Thanks to her uncle’s big mouth, Marissa was the first person voted out in Survivor: Blood Vs. Water Episode 1.
Colton is done pretending he’s turned over a new leaf. And what a painful 5 minutes that was for him.
Rachel sees the writing on the all. The women in her tribe have no hope, so she wants to get closer to the men. This leads Ciera to say she has an alliance with John.
Rupert, Candice, and Marissa face off in the first duel, for lack of a better word. Not having learned his lesson, Gervase keeps running his mouth. Their challenge is to maneuver objects through a metal contraption and stack them on top of it. Candice runs ahead of the others right away while Marissa falls behind. Marissa’s only hope is that the wind gets in Rupert’s way, and it does. Candice wins the challenge. With Rupert having fallen well behind, Marissa places second, and Rupert is going home with his wife likely to follow soon. As the winner, Candice can award a clue to the hidden immunity idol to anyone she wants. Obviously, she picks her husband John.
Back to Colton. He tells everybody that everybody else wants to get rid of them. Then he tells us he’s a raging bitch. None of these veterans want to deal with drama for 39 days.
Tyson, Aras, Gervase, Tina, and Monica bond over their distrust of Colton and form an alliance of five. This all just seems like an alliance of convenience formed by someone who counted the number of people he’s talking to and realizing it’s a majority.
Their immunity challenge will be to get tied together and push people in barrels toward balls to be rolled into the slots at the end of the course. In addition to immunity, they are playing for fishing gear. Kat sits out for Galang. From the start, Galang has a lead, but they lose it at the end. It’s going to come down to untying the balls and landing them in the holes. Hayden seems to be doing well, but Gervase manages to catch up to and pass him. Hayden ties it at 4. Gervase retakes the lead. Then he gets the final one and once again celebrates very loudly as Galang wins immunity and reward. At least this time he was an integral part in the win rather than the dead weight he was last week.
John’s main goal is to make sure that weak people continue to go to Redemption Island against Candice. To that end, he is going out of his way to protect Rachel. Between that and his unwillingness to reveal his idol clue to his alliance, they are growing wary of him. They would be dumb to vote him out, but that won’t stop them from considering it. However, it won’t hurt them too much to get rid of his new ally, and it will provide them with a potential opportunity to take out Tyson, one of the other tribe’s strongest members.
