'Survivor: Blood Vs. Water' Episode 8 Recap [FULL EPISODE]: Jon And Jaclyn Have All The Power, Shock Viewers At Who They Vote Out!

During this week's Survivor - following Julie's decision last episode to leave the game - both divisions of the merged teams spend their time wondering what will happen next. One side wants Jeremy out, and the other side wants Josh gone. Jon and Jaclyn are in the middle, but they've decided to align with Josh's side... but no one esle really knows where their allegiances lie.

Everyone heads to the reward challenge, where two teams go through an obstacle course to get a statue to the top and release their flag. Winners get a taco bar with beer. Missy wasn't picked, so she doesn't get a chance at the reward, while the yellow team (with Jeremy, Reed, Natalie, Wes, and Keith) win the reward. They pick someone from the opposing team to go to Exile, choosing Jon as they feel he could survive on his own.

At the reward, the members of the yellow team clearly feel odd, as there's two separate alliances together in one team. There's no talk of strategy due to the awkwardness. Wes has too much to eat and drink, casuing his father Keith to joke with the other tribe members about his son. These are the kinds of Survivor moments I wish the editors and producers would keep in the show and perhaps focus on a bit more.

Over at Huyopa, Josh wants to get Baylor on his side to get the target off his back. He tells her that he's saved her throughout the game and that he feels she owes him to not write his name down. In her interview, she says that wasn't "Christian" of him to say so, and she feels blackmailed. Josh also realizes her mom Missy is controlling her, and isn't on his side. Josh chats to Jaclyn and she reassures him that she and Jon aren't voting him out.

Over on Exile, Jon gets an immunity idol clue in an urn that points to an idol that's on Exile, rather than back at camp. Jon looks all over Exile's rock formation and climbs up to find the hidden immunity idol.

Back at Huyopa, Jeremy, Baylor, and Missy are upset, saying that that Keith, Wes, and Alec are pigs, and that they feel like they don't treat women with respect. Alec and Keith are bossing the girls around, which pisses Jaclyn off. She tells Natalie and Baylor that she's not voting with Jon because she can't stand the guys. Keith and Alec talk about sticking together and the fact that Jaclyn will do whatever Jon tells her to do.

At the immunity challenge, each person will have to test their memory with a sequence of pictures on their cubes. Lo and behold it comes down to Josh and Jeremy in the end with Jeremy winning immunity which screws up Josh's plans.

At camp, both sides are relying on Jon and Jaclyn's vote; Josh's alliance decides on voting out Baylor because she wouldn't go on his side. Jaclyn takes Jon to the water to tell him she wants to switch and vote with the girls because the guys ignored her while Jon was gone and they would have an easier time beating the girls than the guys. Jon is still uneasy about it because he doesn't think they could beat Jeremy in the end. Reed comes over to tell them the plan is to vote Baylor out. Keith tells Missy, Jeremy, and Natalie that he wants Baylor out because she doesn't do anything at camp, which, of course, upsets Missy. Missy talks to Jon to make sure Josh is voted out, so he tells her to her face he's on board... but it still seems like he's going to vote for Baylor.

At tribal council, both sides lay their cards out on the table about who is on each other's side with Jon and Jaclyn being the swing votes. Everyone talks to Jeff about their frustrations with each other, but it ends up being very funny. One thing is certain, Jon and Jaclyn are definitely controlling the outcome.

In a vote that shocked me, Josh is voted out over Baylor 6-5. It will be extremely interesting to see who goes with whom next week. In next week's scenes, Reed looks in Keith's bag, finds the idol and tells everyone about it. Survivor: Blood Vs Water is getting good!
