Finally, back to some real survivor strategy! The tribe swap is finally taking full effect, with players looking way past the swap and into the merge, and who they think they can work best with when it becomes individual. Bruce and Katurah continue to butt heads on yellow, leaving the door wide open for Kaleb and his Kawhi Leonard comparison (ok, but lets be real..... the Raptors had a pretty solid lineup a when they won the championship....) Red isnt as happy go lucky as they might think they are, J Maya is targeting Sifu, but Dee and Julie might have another plan up their sleeve..... But we got a Tribal council with the most diverse tribe that got swapped, and Brando came in hot after the challenge, and was unable to sway Drew in any way ...

Ugh, these are getting ridiculous, dont ya think? People keep asking to go home. Why did you sign up in the first place? Everyone reading this right now would love to have taken their spot. Ridiuclous!

Another week, another oppportunity for immunity..... which just doesnt seem to be in the game plan for Lulu to win. decimated with three early departures, yellow now sits at 3 tribe members, to everyone else's six. Although most of the activity happened over at Reba, where an advantage was gifted and an idol was found by about 4 people, but now belongs in the possession of Austin, who is looking to keep his 4 members tight to eliminate Sifu or J Maya if need be. Although that will get up-ended with the tribe swap next episode. 

TL/DR; Lulu loses agin. Drew has safety without power, Austin has a (conditional) idol. Sabiyah got her idol, but was voted out instead of playing it. Tribe swap next episode. Belo didn't get much love in the edit ...

The three tribes get back in the saddle this week after a disappointing conclusion to week one.... Hannah's quit (yes, she quit, Jeff himself said so....) left Lulu with no real answers, as Emily and Brandon were the likely suspects to go home. Early idol searches began, and our first advanatge has been acquired by Reba, and has made his safety without power public knowledge to the tribe. Austin still finds himself with no vote, but hasn't made that completely public yet. While Sabiyah also does not have a vote, she found herself in a sticky situation, having found the idol encased in wax. Good thing she can use her tribe's campfire to melt it!..... NOT. Lulu takes their losing streak to the next level and loses in epic fashion again. Emily...

Survivor is back! Especially for Bruce, who is making his 2nd appearance on survivor in as many seasons. He's looking for redemption this season after an early exit after bumping his noggin last season. Emily wasn't too keen on Bruce's early game intro, stirring the pot not only between herself and the Belo tribe, but seen as a skeptic in her own dysfuntctional Lulu tribe. A challenge led off the season that left Brandon D stuck in the water, and 2 tribes without their flint and basic supplies. After an unsuccessful sweat vs. savvy challenge, Belo and Lulu were left with practicially nothing except a hope and a dream..... A lot of tears..... and for one castaway, it left them with a burning desire to...... go sit on their couch at home. A 9...
