Bitter Betty

This is the 11th episode of Survivor: The Caribbean.

Previously on Survivor

 * Following Taylor's blindside, the Ebirt Degrem tribe was in an uproar. Allies became enemies.
 * Jayden won two more Immunity Challenges.
 * Gilbert tried to make a final three deal with Damon and Joseph, but Joseph made Gilbert look bad in front of his alliance of Ivy, Angela and Janice.
 * At Tribal Council, Gilbert caught wind of Joseph's act, and confronted him. Joseph in turn dropped the bomb about Gilbert's final three deal. In a harrowing vote, Joseph was voted out, believing he had less enemies on the jury.
 * In a separate Tribal Council, Gilbert was almost sent home, but at the last second, he used a Hidden Immunity Idol, and Ivy, who unknown to him voted for him and would've been the deciding vote, was voted out. Seven remain, who will be voted out tonight?

Challenges
Reward Challenge: Couple-inks On two narrow balance beams over a pool of water, the survivor and his loved one would hold on a rope on opposite ends while leaning backwards, supporting each other's weight. Every five minutes, the survivors and the loved ones will move from the knot closer to the center of the rope to a more distant one. Last pair standing wins reward. Winner: A picnic lunch at camp. Also, the winning loved one gets to stay at camp overnight. Winner: TBA

Immunity Challenge: Domino Effect Players would stack wooden blocks like a line of domino tiles while avoiding trip wires that would topple the tiles that were already stacked. Once all of the blocks were properly stacked, the castaway would start a chain reaction which would release a ball that would smash a plate. The first player to smash his or her plate wins immunity. Winner: TBA

Night 30
The Ebirt Degrem tribe returns to camp, and Gilbert is surprised to be still in the game after dodging 16 votes. Jayden congratulates Gilbert for evading yet another Tribal Council. Seeing that there is no excuse to keep him around, Gilbert jokes he will be voted out soon enough.

Day 31
The survivors receive Tree Mail, and to their surprise, the mail implies their next challenge has something to do with loved ones. Damon, who has been estranged from his family since he ran away from home, has mixed feelings.

The excited survivors meet Jeff Probst, who then introduces the loved ones:
 * Audrey's dad, James; Audrey falls on her knees, emotional at the sight of her dad
 * Angela's husband, Harry; Angela sobs uncontrollably (Jeff sheds a tear and whispers, "works every time")
 * Damon's roommate and fellow drag queen "Taniqua"
 * Gilbert's wife, Madonna; Gilbert jokes he has gotten votes as much as Jayden wins challenges
 * Jayden's sister, Mari; Mari notes she has never seen Jayden to be this emotional
 * Janice's brother, Evan
 * Kai's twin brother, Glenn

After explaining the mechanics of the challenge, Jeff reveals the winning loved one gets to stay at camp for 24 hours and waiting at camp is a picnic lunch. Also, Jeff shows the survivors envelopes containing letters from loved ones back home. Taniqua whispers to Damon that he has a letter from his estranged father.
