‘Survivor’ Recap: As Alliances Begin to Form, Lulu Tribe Struggles to Get Out of Their Own Way

variety.com:

Emily Longeretta SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers from the Oct. 4 episode of “Survivor.” The latest episode of “Survivor” showed just how much people love this game — and will do just about anything to continue, even if they’re not physically thriving . (With the exception, of course, of Hannah, who quit at the first tribal.) The episode kicks off with Emily continuing to upset the Lulu tribe.

After Hannah’s surprise exit, Kaleb and Sabiyah voice how upsetting it is that she’s continuously calling them out. Emily claims that she’s doing what she thinks is best for her game, and feels she’s being gaslit.

She later spirals, and starts very obviously digging for an idol. Since the whole tribe knows she’s looking, they then decide to partner up and look together; when Sabiyah tries to join Emily, she tells her she’d rather look alone.

Unfortunately for Emily, Sabiyah ends up getting the advantage; Brandon is the one to find it, but knows if he opens it, he’ll lose his vote, so he decides it’s better he passes it along.
