Recap of Survivor season 43 episode 8

This week on Survivor, the merged tribes faced the aftermath of Dwight's elimination. Jeanine Zheng was shocked to see Dwight go as he had her idol in his pocket and was nervous about elimination because she had no numbers or alliances to save herself. Jesse joked about Jeanine Zheng flushing away her advantage, but no one knew Dwight had given him the idol before going home. He wanted to keep it to himself in a bid to avoid elimination. Jesse also had Cody's idol in his pocket, giving him a double advantage. Team Gaia was seen hand-painting together. Owen shared his story of being adopted at four months old by "white parents" and not feeling accepted by others when he just wanted to fit in. He then compared it to his time on Survivor, as he had been blindsided and just wanted to be with the majority. The episode description reads: "It is day 16 and castaways are getting to know their new tribe post-merge; hunger pangs are starting to take a toll and castaways must decide who will strike a deal with Jeff Probst to earn rice for their tribe." Gabler felt that Ryan was the biggest provider of the challenges. Ryan also shared how he had cerebral palsy as a child. He wanted to save himself from elimination, so he spoke to others to confirm their voting and went out fishing again, this time catching 21 fish despite the team having rice from the immunity task. While he was out, the other four members tried to convince the majority to vote Ryan out, not Jeanine. Jeanine was eventually after being blindsided by members of her own alliance.
