Realizing she had no chance to win anyway, Julie quit in Survivor: San Juan del Sur Episode 7, denying the people who were counting on her as a number the opportunity to use her and pretend to be nice.
Jon & Jaclyn had decided to take out Jeremy. The lack of a vote frees them up for the time being from having to openly choose a side. It also means we’re stuck with Jeremy.
At the challenge, they will build a temple like the Mayans (you know, probably). They toss the heavy puzzle pieces on a platform and push it back and forth. Reward is a taco bar. Keith, Natalie, Reed, Jeremy, and Wes (yellow) are against Alec, Josh, Baylor, Jon, and Jaclyn (blue). Missy was not picked. The yellow team is ahead for the whole initial part of the challenge, and they never give up that lead. They send Jon to Exile. Oh, now that’s not funny at all. I half expected them to send Missy after not letting her play.
The group of people who go on the reward are in opposite alliances, and they don’t have any interest in talking strategy. Josh, however, does make an effort with Baylor, who was his ally until her mother told her not to be. She’s not budging.
As the lone person on Exile Island, Jon gets the clue all to himself. There is a new idol there with him. He can search without interruption or anyone knowing. After climbing a rock formation that is sticking out like a sore thumb (what does that mean anyway?), he finds it.
The girls seem to be going out of their way to be offended by the guys, whose personalities are probably those with which it is easy to get easily offended. Baylor at least admits that she’s easily bothered. Jaclyn assumes that Jon will do whatever she tells him, so she can get rid of them if she wants.
Immunity is a memory challenge using a series of symbols and cubes. Jon is eliminated on only the second symbol. Reed drops next. Then Wes and Alec. Natalie is eliminated on the first symbol in the second round. Then Baylor. Jaclyn follows. Keith and Missy are next. Jeremy beats Josh to win immunity.
Jeremy’s win screws over Josh’s plans once again. That makes Baylor the new target, proposed by Josh, who she refused to even pretend to maybe be considering as an ally. Keith reveals this plan to Missy.
Now comes Jaclyn’s pitch to Jon. She doesn’t like the guys any more. Oh, and they may be good at immunity challenges (she wants to keep Jeremy, though). Jon’s not sure he wants to do as he is told.

With 6 votes, Josh has been voted off the island, as Jon follows orders. He seemed to be playing a great game, but I must have missed the part where he became a rude fratboy in need of disdain from the women.
