Survivor - Jalapao Wins Immunity, Jerry Sounds off

This survivor episode started with Candace’s closest ally Erinn left in the dust as an outcast. Coach talks trash about Erinn, saying Erinn “insulted” everyone that night. Then, it’s day seven, and Jerry is growing tired of camp life, feels weak, and claims to be sick. Meanwhile, at the Jalapao tribe, things seems more high-morale as everyone is fishing. The Jalapao tribe mates talk about hoping that they continue to win.

In the first reward challenge, teams had to select a person to be the leader (No, Coach didn’t dictate this) and lead their blindfolded tribe mates to collect a bucket and fill It with water, then fill it in another bucket, and do the same thing again but with Corn. Debra and Joe were the leaders. Joe and the Jalapao tribe mates worked together well enough to embarrassingly put Timbira into their position. The Jalapao tribe mates won furniture, tarp, and blankets, etc. Taj and Brendan were once again exiled.

Back at Timbira, Coach calls Tyson his new “assistant coach”, and those two have probably been guaranteed a bond for a while. We hear more about Jerry struggling to deal with being around camp. Meanwhile, back at Jalapao, the tribe continues to have more high morale as their like their winning streak. Meanwhile, Back at Exile Island, Taj and Brendan talk about getting a four person alliance moving along that nobody will know. They are sure about their next clue.

In the immunity challenge, teams have to roll over boxes and then stack them to spell their tribe name. Timbira actually took the lead, and almost had a hope in winning. However, Erinn emerged as the one controlling the challenge, and the tribe failed to listen to her orders, letting Jalapao catch up. Jalapao ended up wining immunity.

Back at Timbira, Jerry is still not feeling all too well again. Meanwhile, everyone is in the water talking about voting for Jerry. However, Coach is offended by Erinn grinning and he get’s so offended that he just has to get his way and vote for her. We do know that Brendon ends up finding the idol behind the tree mail box. The scene leaves us with Tyson talking about liking to see blindsides. So, at tribal council, there’s a little debate of whether Brendan is a better leader than Coach. However, it was a 6-1 vote that got Jerry booted. Thirteen people are left. Who will go next?

Personally, Coach needs to change to dictator, because just because someone liked Candace or grins that they’re safe, it doesn’t necessarily get offensive. Coach is playing the game way too hard and it’s going to bite him hardcore. His stupid sheep, Tyson, Sierra, and Debra are also not that good. Debra and Sierra are most obviously weaker than Erinn. Erin, I really like now, and would love to see her team up with Brendan and his idol and use it to blindside Coach. I think the viewers are waiting for Coach to get blindsided too. Personally, I’m rooting for Jalapao, and I hope they continue to kick but in these challenges. Sandy seems to have found herself in this episode, so far. However, I’m worried Taj is just going to blow things for herself. Who is Sydney? Overall, this was an OK episode, as it was nothing special. Jerry was probably a good boot because he wasn’t much use to the game. This season looks like could have potential if something interesting happens. J.T. looks like he’s in a good position, but since we haven’t seen much of that tribe in strategic action since day 3, I don’t know for sure. I still think Taj should watch it.
