Jaclyn took control of the game in Survivor” San Juan del Sur Episode 8, turning the tide against the oh so offensive Josh.
For the reward challenge, they divide into teams and will have to knock the other person off the beam into the mud. Reward is a cruise on a fishing yacht. Reed beats Wes. Jaclyn knocks herself off to give Natalie’s team the 2-0 lead. Jon knocks Jeremy in to make it 2-1. Baylor beats her mom Missy for a 3-1 lead. Keith beats Alec to make it 3-2. Wes shakes Reed into the mud to tie it 3-3. Jaclyn once again beats herself against Natalie. Jon beats Jeremy again to make it 4-4. Baylor beats Missy again.
Reed, Natalie, Baylor, Alec, and Jeremy win reward. Natalie offers her reward to Jon. Jeremy offers his reward to Jaclyn. I don’t think they’re going to fall for that. In return for offering up his reward, Jeremy will be going to Exile. He’s happy to go look for the idol that his new ally already found but nonetheless sent him there to look for anyway. Jon eventually realizes that the clue is very obvious and everybody is going to know he already found it.
Their immunity challenge is a block stacking task using only their feet. Reed and Keith jump out to the lead and get to the third and final row first. Reed’s pieces crumble somewhat, but he recovers. Disaster strikes Keith. Out of nowhere, Baylor enters the competition. Reed keeps failing on the final piece. Baylor wins immunity.
A desperate Reed decides to start going through Keith’s bag. Smart move, though it’s crossing a line. He doesn’t find the idol, but he does find the clue to the idol. So he goes to Missy and Baylor. Perhaps that buys him another night, but it’s hard for me to believe that this is a good long-term strategy.
Jeremy, who spent a rough two nights alone, confronts Jon about the idol. He doesn’t go so far as to accuse him of anything, but he says enough to let him know he knows. After this, Jon approaches Missy because he wants to eliminate Jeremy.
The plan here is a split vote, which means that all Reed, Keith, Alec, and Wes need to do is stick together. Of course, if Jon flips as he has said he wants to do, none of that matters.
