Survivor: Samoa Episode 8

Foa Foa's usual loss in Survivor: Samoa Episode 7 resulted in Liz being eliminated.

They're hoping for a merge. Well, I guess it couldn't hurt. They're pretty well screwed.

When she returns to her own camp, Laura's canteen is missing, leading to a confrontation between herself and Shambo, who it does not appear has ever seen an episode of 90210 (old or new). Erik says that Shambo being crazy is an established fact, so anybody fighting with her is just making themselves look bad.

Jaison says they're not super confident in their ability to win challenges any more. Yeah, I hope not.

The two tribes get treemail and meet up on the beach. No Jeff in site. What they do see is a treasure chest with buffs, a tarp, and paint. Looks like a merge. They are told they're all one tribe living on Galu beach. Not the typical way to merge but appears legit.

Russell is immediately under the impression that he's a king.

The new tribe name is Aiga, which they say is Samoan for extended family.

Russell approaches Laura to show her the hidden idol. He promises her that he will hand it to her at the top 7. This leads her to a realization: they're going to have to blindside him. His attempt at setting guidelines that she get rid of one of her people first falls flat. His offer does not sound genuine, and even if it did, she doesn't have the power needed to accomplish his request.

Unable to get anywhere with Laura, Russell next approaches Monica and shows her the idol, which nobody else knows about. If he knows she's on the chopping block, he'll give it to her. From there, he goes to John and shows him the idol as well. Laura is Russell's first target.
