Survivor Update: A Tribal Shakeup and Local Delicacies

Water beetles were on the menu Wednesday night as a classic immunity challenge returned to Survivor.

Foxborough’s Jeremy Collins found himself steering down the massive beetle as part of the infamous eating contest, beating his opponents in the team challenge. The Bayon tribe was able to earn immunity but not after some pig brains, spiders, and even duck embryo.

The challenge win was the first for Bayon in some time. Earlier in the episode, the tribe lost out on fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and brownies in the rewards challenge. Tribe members had to go down a slip and slide, grab a ring, and throw it on a post three times to earn a victory. While Collins was able to hit the ring, the Ta Keo tribe edged out a 3-2 win.

With Collins and the rest of his tribe safe for another episode, Ta Keo members were left to scramble to remain on the show. Talks of voting out Spencer turned out to be premature as it was Woo who packed his bags on a 4-3 vote.

Adding to the voting dynamics was another tribe switch that saw the return of two tribes, much to the disappointment to the contestants who felt their respective tribes were all in a good position.

13 contestants remain in the game, with seven in Bayon and six in Ta Keo. Collins has yet to use his hidden immunity idol, which would allow him to avoid elimination if he chooses to play it during tribal council.

At the beginning of the episode, Terry was forced to leave the game due to a family emergency with his son Danny. During the credits, he informed the audience that Danny needed a heart transplant but he is now doing well.

Survivor airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. on CBS.
