Survivor 2013 Caramoan Episode 8 Recap: A Merge And A Blindside

survivor-2013-episode-8-recap

This week’s episode of Survivor 2013 Caramoan opens with more Phillip craziness. I’m almost tiring of it. This time he is saying “I thew the challenge.” Blah, blah, blah. What is wrong with this person? And what is wrong with everyone who has not voted him off the show?

After the credits the Gota Tribe sees a boat coming their way. The men on board deliver a letter that’s basically telling them it’s merge time. They load up their belongings, jump on the boat and head to their new home as a merged tribe.

They get a little celebratory feast and new buffs.

But what about a name? Enil Edam. Malcolm says it means new beginning, but it’s really just his mom’s name backward. Horrible tribe name, but a clever way to nod to Malcolm’s mother.

And now the moment I know I’ve been waiting for. It’s an eating challenge! And it’s for immunity.

The rules are simple, race to get down local delicacies. They will square off in rounds. The first three to finish move on. The first delicacy is beetle larvae. Andrea, Malcolm and Eddie move on from the first round. Sherri, Corrine and Erik are out.

For the next group of six, it’s also beetle larvae. Cochran, Phillip and Michael move on. Reynold, Dawn and Brenda are out.

So now they’re down to six. And this time they have to eat ship worms. They’re called ship worms because they eat through wood (boats). Malcolm, Eddie and Cochran move on.

The three remaining guys have to eat duck embryos. Feathers and all. Cochran and Malcolm move on. Eddie is out.

So Cochran and Malcolm have to eat pig brain. That’s so gross. Cochran wins!

You know what time it is! It’s time for the who are we going to send home!? Mash-up! Also known as: My least favorite part of every single episode.

So let me sum it up briefly: they all talk about who they want to go home and toss around 10 different names, then change their minds, then say the word blindside two or three times, then decide and we all get really confused and then we head off to Tribal Council.
