It's Time To Play

This is the eighth episode of Survivor: Canada

Previously On Survivor...

 * Benjamin's wishy-washy behavior began to worry and annoy Jasmine, as he was pushing her to make a big move with him that she wasn't comfortable making.
 * After comparing notes, Kumar and Lewis solidify a deal with Jeffrey and Jaxon to eliminate Hazel as they viewed her as playing both sides.
 * In the first individual immunity challenge of the season, Jeffrey and Danielle won themselves safety from the looming double tribal council.
 * Benjamin is blindsided at tribal council as Henrik is voted out, exposing Jasmine's false promise. And After a tearful plea, Hazel cannot convince her former allies to keep her and is the second casualty of the night.

Eight are left, who will be voted out tonight?

Cree
Upon finishing tribal council Jeff tells Spencer, Danielle, Jasmine, and Benjamin that the other tribe will be waiting for them down at the dock, then congratulates them on making the merge. They walk down the path toward the lake, and are greeted by Kumar, Jeffrey, Lewis, and Jaxon. Hugs and smiles are exchanged as the excitement of making it so far into the game runs high in everyone's systems.

They all jump into their canoe, only to find a map to their new camp. Expecting to head to either the previous Nakota or Chippewa beach, they're all a bit caught off guard. The first thing on peoples minds is the task of building a new shelter in the dark.

They row down the lake and do their best not to get lost in the dark as they travel the unfamiliar path, and eventually find their new home. Although one side of their cove has a peddle sand beach, they crash into the side lined with boulders. Unaware of the conditions a bit further upstream, they all take a careful step out of the boat. Once on land, they have the pleasant surprise of finding a tipi (a conical tent, traditionally made of animal skins, and wooden poles), used by the local aboriginals of the area, it was built especially for them as a reward for weathering the elements so well thus far.

As Benjamin gets the fire going, everyone unloads their belongings that they had brought from their previous camps. With no tree stumps cut, they all sit on the ground with their legs crossed around the fire. It's noted that although at the start of the game there was a nine/nine gender split, only two girls remain within the final eight. Danielle and Jasmine, who both coincidentally happen to be sitting next to one each other, look to one another with a smile.

Before heading to bed they crack open a crate full of buffs and put them on. Inside is a note which Jeffrey reads, proclaiming the name of the merge tribe is Cree, named after yet another aboriginal community within the area.
