What happened on Survivor last week?

Last week on Survivor, team Coco celebrated James' birthday. Karla found a beware advantage card among the trees. She initially refused to open it but then decided to do the task. She was asked to prepare an idol in order to earn a voting advantage.

She pretended to make a necklace for her wife's birthday and traded her earrings for some beads. Karla made the idol bracelet easily, evading everyone's suspicion.

The episode description reads,

"The beware advantage returns and castaways must decide if they want to risk losing their vote; the trust in one tribe shifts after a castaway finds out that a few tribemates have been snooping through bags around camp."

Dwight planned to form a union with Noelle and Jesse. Sami told Gabler that Jeanine and Elie had searched his bags to retrieve information about his immunity challenge. He lied to them that his idol had expired when it was, in fact, still intact. Subsequently, he was planning to use it against them.

Baka and Coco won the immunity challenge. Noelle, Owen, and James were sent on a harrowing journey where Noelle was given an opportunity to grab the steal-a-vote advantage. Cody and Jesse felt that Nneka was physically weak. They eventually decided to send her home, saving Dwight and Noelle from elimination.

Survivor airs on CBS every Wednesday at 8 pm ET. Fans can watch the episodes on Paramount+ one day after the television premiere.
