Something in the Air

This is the 8th episode of Survivor: The Caribbean.

Previously on Survivor

 * Down to three, the Taino tribe promises to stick together; and at the tribe switch, all three moved to the Jivaro tribe.
 * It would seem Jivaro had a big physical advantage over at the new Sabana, but at the Immunity Challenge, ego prevailed, winning Sabana immunity.
 * Back at camp, both former Jivaros and former Tainos competed to gain the support of the only former Sabana on the tribe, Damon. But Damon was non-committal, but he had an idol and an advantage.
 * Before Tribal Council, sick with Damon's indecision, they agreed for a practical alternative, oust Damon. However, at Tribal Council, Damon used his idol, sending Francis, whom he had a vendetta since the start, packing. Thirteen are left, who will be voted out tonight? *cue intro*

Challenges
Reward/Immunity Challenge: Gate-Crasher Each tribe would use log to break through two sets of gates; then, they must turn, pull and push the log to navigate a maze that is worked into the surface of the log. Once the log is cleared from the maze station, the first tribe to hit a gong at the end of the course wins immunity. Reward: The winning tribe wins tribal immunity and a feast of pizza and beer while observing the losing tribe's Tribal Council.

Night 18
The Taino tribe returns to camp after a stunning blindside. Audrey asks Damon where did he find the idol. Damon said it was Taino's idol, much to Jayden, Shelby and Kai's shock, as they stayed on Taino until the second swap. Jayden asks Damon if he voted Francis out to get back at him for his homophobic comments in which Damon agrees. Taylor chews on Damon, explaining to him he is just as worse as how he perceived Francis as, telling him Francis' backstory, and he would have apologized further to him for his comments back in the old Taino. Instead of feeling celebratory, Damon becomes sullen.

Meanwhile, Miriam sits by the fire with Craig. Miriam flirts with the idea of blindsiding Gilbert before the merge, saying Gilbert could go deep with his eloquence.

Day 13
Tree Mail instructs Jivaro to bring the Immunity Idol, implying there will be an Immunity Challenge today. Wanting to better his impression to his tribemates, Damon shows his tribe his advantage, which is to deny a castaway from competing at the next Immunity Challenge. Damon explains he can use it at any point up until the final five. Though still cautious of Damon, Taylor deems his advantage as significant; however, Damon is close to Joseph, whom the Jivaros think is Sabana's strongest member. Audrey asks Damon if he is willing to use it on Joseph even though they are friends. Damon states it will still depend on what their next challenge is.
