Episode 9 of CBS' reality competition television series Survivor season 44 is set to air on April 26, 2023, at 8 pm ET. Audiences have been eagerly anticipating the show, and as each episode arrives, the competition becomes more enthralling.
The task in episode 9 will result in contestants winning a big pot of rice for their entire tribe. Not only that, but the contestants will also be seen trying their best to win immunity at the next tribal council.
The synopsis of the upcoming episode reads,
“Castaways must negotiate to earn a big pot of rice for the entire tribe; the castaways put their best foot forward to earn immunity at the next tribal council.”
The ninth episode of Survivor season 44 is titled Under the Wing of a Dragon
As the show enters its ninth episode, Under the Wing of a Dragon, the cast will face a lot of drama, surprises, and challenges. Some participants will receive the bad news of elimination, while others will receive rewards.
Several segments from the episode were shared by the show in advance of its release. As seen in one shot, Brandon's departure shocked the Ratu tribe members. This exit leaves Kane, Lauren, and Jaime as the only remaining contestants. In the upcoming episode, they will aim to gain power in the game by getting more numbers to the side.
Considering the games he has played so far, Yam Yam could be a good contestant for them, but it doesn't look like he will be an easy follower. In the video clip, Carson says,
“The three stooges are running this game; it’s crazy!”
In this comment, he meant himself, Yam Yam, and Carolyn.
