Warning: Here be series-wide spoilers!

PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: VANUATU…

LET’S GET THIS SHOW STARTED!

The women arrive back from Tribal Council, and the younger women are mad at Eliza for blindsiding them with the Dolly vote and feel that they can’t trust her.

It’s Day 7 at the men’s camp! And they’ve only now just started building a shelter. Makes me wonder how the hell they’ve been sleeping the past week…

Meanwhile, Rory is off hunting for citrus fruits, which irritates Sarge because he’s not putting in his fair share of the handiwork.

This doesn’t go unnoticed by J.P., who is annoyed that the Fat Five want to pick out the younger guys when Rory is the one causing most of the conflict in camp.

Over at the women’s camp, Julie calmly suggests to the tribe that they establish a form of rotation system for everyone to share the workload, which sets off Mia who doesn’t see what people are complaining about. As soon as Twila puts her two cents into the conversation, Mia shoots off at her for her comments at Tribal Council last night and the two devolve into a big shouting match.

After things cool down, Eliza is trying her best to convince the younger group that she’s still solid, but not to much success.

REWARD/IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!

The two tribes arrive for their challenge, and Jeff reveals that there’s a twist. Both tribes will be attending Tribal Council tonight and will vote out one person each.

As for the challenge, it’s the Great Escape Run challenge! The first tribe to get past the three locked gates wins fishing gear and moves onto the second section. The first person to complete the ladder section wins individual immunity.

Off we go!

The men win reward and a shot at individual immunity!

Round 2!

John wins immunity!

But, there’s one more twist… John will spend the afternoon at the women’s camp, and after the men’s Tribal Council, he will stay behind to give the Immunity Necklace to one of the women.

Once the women plus John get back to camp, he sets about having a discussion with everyone who voted out Dolly. During their discussion, people are noticing how much of a motormouth Eliza is and want her to shut up already.

John then has a discussion with the other three, and they beg him not to give the necklace to either Twila or Eliza. John could care less though, and confesses that he wants to create as little drama as possible in case of him making the merge.

Eliza joins in and almost immediately the girls all start squabbling over the Dolly vote again and oh dear lord enough already.

Meanwhile, at the men’s camp, J.P. is worried that he’s the Fat Five’s next target, and he and Brady conspire to convince Sarge that Rory is the cancer of the tribe that needs to be cut out.

Sarge airs his grievances to Chris, who isn’t so keen to cut Rory loose just yet, as he feels the time isn’t right.

MEN’S TRIBAL COUNCIL!

Jeff asks the men how the mood is at camp. Chad comments on how the challenge wins have given them some new confidence.

Jeff then asks John about his escapades at the women’s camp, where he outlines everything he did and everything he learned about the other tribe.

Jeff then asks J.P. what he is basing his voting on. J.P. says that he’s voting on strength and camaraderie.

Sarge comments that whoever is voted out tonight is “a casualty of war”.

It’s time to vote!

Let’s read the votes! Who are the men going to boot out?

Farewell J.P., guess you weren’t persuasive enough.

WOMEN’S TRIBAL COUNCIL!

As the women sit down, John approaches them to give one of them the necklace…

He gives it to Ami! His reasoning is that he gave it to someone who didn’t need it as to not affect how the vote will go. And with that, he heads off into the night.

Ami comments how surprised she is that she got the necklace. Jeff then asks Scout about the aftermath of the Dolly vote, where Scout mentions how pissed off Mia was about the whole thing.

Mia explains that she was more upset about Twila’s comments at the last Tribal Council.

Twila doesn’t understand why she was so upset because she was simply telling the truth, and they end up in another argument about the whole debacle. Twila then comments that she’s One Of The Boys and that she doesn’t communicate well with other women.

Ami steps in and suggests to Twila that this might be a good time to get in touch with her feminine side more, but Twila comments that she probably doesn’t have one. They both joke that they could teach her to braid each other’s hair.

Jeff then asks Scout what her vote is based on. She says she’s voting on keeping a harmonious vibe in camp. Mia visibly reacts and tries to defend herself by saying that she’s not causing trouble.

It’s time to vote!

Let’s read the votes! Who are the women going to boot out?

Womp womp. Bye Mia, that’s one less volcano everyone has to out up with.

See you guys for episode 4!
