LJ was blindsided by Tony and the opposing alliance in Survivor: Cagayan Episode 8 because, well, I don’t really know why.
For some reason, Trish still trusts Tony, even though she had no idea how he was going to vote last week.
Speaking of Tony’s inability to be trusted, he builds a spy shack by the water hole. The first thing he learns from this is the obvious that Jefra does not trust him any more.
For the reward challenge, they will race out on the water to collect paddles then use them to solve a word puzzle. Reward is a barbeque in a cave. Kass, Trish, Tony, and Woo (orange) are against Tasha, Spencer, Jeremiah, and Jefra (purple). The purple team seems to be better at paddling, but they are not so good at retrieving paddles. When Tony drops a paddle, it allows the purple team to catch back up, but they fall behind again. After wasting time trying to steal the answer from the other team, Spencer finally thinks for himself and comes up with the obvious puzzle solution, “worth playing for”.
Tony’s paranoia returns. And I thought it was gone when he was not panicking for about three minutes. He considers the results of the reward challenge dangerous because Jefra’s going to a reward with the three people from the other side. This time, his concern is warranted. It does not take much for her to begin plotting his demise along with the others. She takes it a step further and makes a final four deal with them.
At the immunity challenge, they will balance on a beam while holding a ball on a platform. This is supposedly an endurance challenge, but the wind could make it short-lived. Jefra, Tony, Trish, and Kass all fall within three minutes. After 10 minutes, they move to another round on a narrower beam and also move their hands down on their poles. Jeremiah falls. The remaining three move to the third and final round. Woo falls. Spencer outlasted Tasha last time they faced off, but this time Tasha wins immunity.
Nobody else seems particularly concerned, but Tony knows he made an unnecessary stupid big move way too early. He knows now he needs to find the idol, and he does indeed find the special idol, which he must use for himself and can play after the votes have been read. Lame. I’m okay with idols that require some thought and add an element to the game, but this is just… lame. It’s not like it was any harder to find than a normal idol either.
Remember Jefra’s final four deal? Yeah, that’s over already.
Jeremiah reveals a secret that he’s a model. For some reason, he felt that was an important secret or for that matter something that would surprise anybody. Spencer then reveals something that actually matters, telling Jeremiah and Tasha about his idol.
Spencer plays his hidden immunity idol.
