Business as Usual

This is the 3rd episode of Survivor: The Caribbean.

Challenges
Reward/Immunity Challenge: Share the Wealth The tribes would be divided into pairs. The first pair from each tribe would be tethered together and have to race through the jungle and up a cargo net to retrieve two paddles. The next pair of castaways would use the paddles to paddle a boat out in the ocean to a buoy where they would dive to release a chest and swim it back to shore. All six castaways would then push the chest up the beach to a puzzle assembly mat. The final pair of castaways would use the pieces inside the chest to assemble a puzzle. The first two tribes to complete their puzzle would win immunity. Reward: First and second place win a housewarming barbecue feast, that comes with a grill, wok, sausages, and spices. Winner: TBA

Night 5
After Tribal Council where Loretta was sent home, the team that lost the Immunity Challenge (Angela, Audrey,Damon, Delaney, Francis, Ivy, Joseph, Kai, Miriam) returns to camp. Pissed about Deejay's betrayal, Gilbert chews on Deejay. Not backing down, Deejay explains himself, saying that his political background makes him a very big threat.

Day 6
Deejay and Gilbert ignore each other for the rest of the day: A very awkward sight for everyone. Later, Deejay hangs out with the other bros Francis, Taylor, Jayden and Kai, returning to his boisterous self again. Meanwhile, Gilbert pulls Ivy aside, telling her they will have to vote Deejay down the line. Disliking Deejay's obnoxious personality, Ivy agrees.

Day 7
This is the 3rd episode of Survivor: The Caribbean.

Previously on Survivor

 * Miriam thanked Gilbert for helping her get a reprieve, but to main her support, Gilbert credited Miriam instead.
 * A fun conversation turned ugly as Francis blurted out homophobic remarks on Damon.
 * Before the challenge, the Taino tribe drew rocks to find out the teams for the upcoming Immunity Challenge. Due to having an odd number of players, one player, Loretta, had to root for a team, and she will join them whatever their fate is. Loretta chose the blue team as most of the older castaways were there. The blue team lost, sending them and Loretta to Tribal Council.
 * Before Tribal Council, Deejay who had secretly been plotting to oust Gilbert, told Loretta he wanted to vote Gilbert out. However, unknown to Loretta, Gilbert had the rest of the group's support.
 * At Tribal Council, Loretta's last minute change of plans backfired, as the very reason why she sided with the blue team in the first place (Gilbert's connections) came back to haunt her. This led to her downfall. This left Deejay at the bottom. 18 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

Meanwhile, Gilbert pulls Ivy aside, telling her they will have to vote Deejay down the line. Disliking Deejay's obnoxious personality, Ivy agrees. At the beach, Audrey, Taylor, Shana and Delaney discuss strategy. Shana says she is starting to believe Gilbert is a threat because it was him who turned the tables on Deejay and Loretta when she and Taylor were supposed to be on the hotseat. "taino"

- Gilbert saved my butt last night, and while I am very much thankful for his save, I don't believe Survivor is a game where you return favors. Returning favors is an opportunity to stab people in the back. You just leave yourself wide open. After what he did to me, it became clear to me he is a threat and if Loretta's blindside is of any indication, I have to be more subtle, or I'll just follow her footsteps. In the shelter, Tim, Shelby, Miriam, Janice and Angela also discuss strategy. Tim proposes to make the older alliance official as a preemptive measure against the possiblity of the younger crowd going after them. Miriam says it might be possible especially Deejay and Gilbert do not get along, and Deejay tried to sway people against Gilbert. Janice thinks of Deejay as "a mercenary", and the older people could do without him. Gilbert and Craig arrive, and Shelby informs them of their plan to take the younger members out first. Craig raises the topic of the possibility of them being separated into tribes, but accepts the invite regardless, and so is Gilbert. Gilbert says he can pull Ivy to their fold. "taino"

- Tim, myself, Janice, Angela, Craig and Gilbert agree to form an alliance. Gilbert says Ivy's 100% with him, that's 8, and if we ever get split into separate tribes, it's fine. At least we have eight. I don't think we have distracting personality quirks, so I think we're good to go.

Next Time on Survivor

 * One tribe will become three: Taino, Sabana and Jivaro!
