'Survivor: Edge of Extinction' Episode 8

Wow! This season just keeps getting better and better! So first off, nice job blindsiding Eric, it was a great move and now, it truly feels like an individual game rather than Kama VS Lesu. So, Ron and Julie now feel on the outs, but they have hope. Rick and David have separate ideals, but they still work as a duo and team up with Ron and Julie, and now they just need two more. But, there's a group to go against. Gavin and Julia still have control, along with the Lesu three, Aurora and Victoria, and they want to vote out David. So, who knows if that will play out or not.

Meanwhile, Eric considers quitting at the Edge of Extinction but, stays in to show his kids to never quit. At the immunity challenge, it was a challenge from Survivor: Millennials vs Gen-X. It was a challenge where the castaways stood on a balance beam type thing, while holding a ball on a type of bow type thing. Anyway, it was a close fight. People went down as others went further on the beam, while still keeping the ball balanced. Ultimately, it ended on a battle between Gavin and David. In a very close finish, David ended up dropping the ball, giving Gavin individual immunity for the next tribal council.

Back at camp, it seemed that David was a target. Though, then things got kinda weird. The Lesu three wanted to try and convince the Kamas to vote Ron, while David and Rick wanted to get Gavin, Julia and Victoria (with Rick pitching each of them) to split up the Lesu three. This made the Kamas reunite, though they still seemed uneven on who to vote. They wanted either Kelley or David. Some saying Kelley, while Gavin wanted David. Then, David and Rick agreed to likely use the idol on David, while Wentworth noticed the silence and Julia's looks which confused her, making her consider playing her idol.

So, there could be two idols being played, one or maybe none, I don't know. I just know that it could be a pretty interesting vote. At Tribal Council, things started out just as strategies to complete insanity. From David talking about taking a dump, and seeing a shark eat a bunch of minnows and used it as an analogy of Kama eating Lesu. Though, Rick compared himself to the dump that was taken. Then, more people started talking about tribes being together or apart, and it eventually broke into everyone strategizing with each other making different plans. This lead to new plans, WarDog wanting Aurora out, David finding out it was him, Julie and Ron wanting to team up with Lesu, Kama wanting to be together, and Julie announcing out in public that she was jumping ship from Kama to Lesu. This is gonna be a very interesting vote. A very exciting tribal council, indeed. And it kept happening.

More strategizing, more plotting, more Julia telling people off. And eventually, after all of it, a decision was made. But, not without an idol play for protection. Rick and David played the idol for David, but turns out, they didn't need to, and Julia was blindsided with almost everyone, both Kama and Lesu, everyone except Julia herself and Aurora who still voted David, all voted Julia out. Wow, so a united and big blindside that shows that this game is definitely far from over, and anything can and will happen. It definitely did not turn out as originally expected, but exciting and incredibly crazy. Plus, Julia still has a chance thanks to the Edge of Extinction so, she could potentially return.

Overall, this has been an amazing and exciting episode of Survivor and I cannot wait to see what happens next week when more alliances get made and more people get targeted. #Survivor #SurvivorEdgeOfExtinction #Blindside #AlmostEveryoneUnited #ByeJulia #InsaneTribalCouncil #ImJumpingShip #IncredibleSeason #OneOfTheBestTribalsYet #Wow
