The dumbest tribe ever finally got rid of J’Tia in Survivor: Cagayan Episode 3.
When they get to the challenge, Jeff tells them to drop their buffs. I don’t support a tribe shuffle in a situation like this. The Brains tribe has been among the most inept, incompetent group of fools in the history of the show, and they deserve the decimation they have faced. Spencer’s the only one I could stomach doing well in this game.
Aparri (orange): Sarah, Spencer, Morgan, Kass, Tasha, Jeremiah, Alexis
Solana (purple): Woo, Cliff, Trish, Jefra, LJ, Lindsey, Tony
The entire Brains tribe sticks together. They are combined with part of the Beauty tribe plus Sarah, while LJ and Jefra are outnumbered by the Brawn tribe.
Reward is coffee and baked goods. Their challenge is to work in pairs to remove a single person from a post and drag them across the sand. Tasha hangs on while Sarah and Morgan drag Lindsey to score a point. The next matchup is just stupid. Two men have to drag Cliff, which is not happening, while Alexis gets dragged off by a man and another woman. This ties them at 1 point each. The next match is a similarly stupid match, and Sarah is dragged by a duo consisting of a man and a woman. Salana wins reward. Why even bother with the formality of a challenge when the outcome is so blatantly obvious?
Trish and LJ hit it off right away because they’re both from Massachusetts. The fact that she’s old enough to be his mother is not phasing her.
Alexis immediately approaches the Brains to join them in an alliance. Jeremiah quickly follows suit. Apparently, they hate their own winning tribe so much that they’re willing to join with a bunch of losers.
At the immunity challenge, each tribe will use one large log to smash through a pair of walls, followed by putting the log through a maze. The challenge requires 6 people each. Trish sits out for Solana; Morgan sits out for Aparri. Based on the reward challenge, it’s pretty obvious that Solana is going to take the early lead. When Aparri finally figure out to put Spencer and Jeremiah at the front, they actually manage to pull even on the second wall. Aparri finishes the maze seconds ahead to win immunity.
Not content with the fact that her tribe has a 5-2 lead and an easy vote here, Trish starts plotting to get rid of Cliff. She tries to get Tony as her fourth vote.
LJ’s clearly the other target. He could flip this right here and ensure somebody else goes home, splitting the sides right down the middle going forward, but he is not sure whether he wants to use his idol or not.

LJ got lucky because that was a dumb risk to take. With 4 votes, Cliff has been voted off the island. I don’t understand the sense of that vote, but the other tribe is not making any sense since the shuffle either.
