Episode 8 Recap
Previously on Survivor: Micronesia, the Ladders tribe are celebrating their continuous victory over the Snakes tribe. However, wanjing felt outcasted from the group thinking of her alliance back at Snakes. In the meanwhile, Snakes encoutered problems of their own, dwindling in numbers, they stumbled badly during the challenge with poor teamwork, landing themselves in the 4th tribal council consecutively. when siaun found out that he had a target on his back, he and rachel pulled out a blindside with his hidden immunity idol, taking out jezabel with 2 votes, making her the tenth survivor to be voted out of the game.
day 21
*after Tribal Council - Snakes tribe*
hanwei: that was disasterous. the next tribal council we land in will force a tie. unless we can rope rachel over.
priscilla: that would be hard but worth a try. we can convince her how a threat siaun will be in future.
hanwei: yea. hope it works.
rachel: that was a close call!
siaun: if we get there again, there will be a tie and we are going to pick stones.
rachel: then, it would be anyone going. we have to get hanwei back.
day 22
*at Ladders tribe*
seelek: treemail's here! we are moving!
jack: it says gather all your belongings and move to this area on the map.
xinfang: we are leaving the camp? why?
wanjing: *sounds excited* could it be a merge?!?!
jianhong: *whispering to timothy* dang! there goes our chance.
*at Snakes tribe*
siaun: we are leaving our campsite!
priscilla: looks like it's a merge.
hanwei: *thinking to himself* this is going to be just great. the original Ladders have an advantage on numbers.
rachel: i think we are in trouble. it's 4 against 6 in the merged tribe.
siaun: we can get some of them to flip. let's just try and hope for the best.

siaun: i was nearly voted out.
rachel: he had to use the idol.
wanjing: that means we are in trouble again.
jianhong: what happened back there?
hanwei: jezabel was blindsided. siaun had the idol.
timothy: see i told you.
jianhong: unbelievable.
priscilla: we have to take out siaun.
hanwei: yes. he has been causing alot of havoc.
rachel: *pulling wanjing to the side* let's keep this a tight alliance. when there is a need, we have to dump them and get ourselves into the final 3.
wanjing: we have to expand it first. find another girl to make it easier to enter the finals.
rachel: let's approach seelek? she seemed friendly enough.
wanjing: no, she has been plotting against me. priscilla?
rachel: no way. she had been trying to kill me and siaun since the swap.
rachel and wanjing: xinfang.
siaun: timothy, i am offering you an alliance. let's work together and help each other out to the finals.
timothy: what can i stand to gain from this?
siaun: look, you vote with them, guranteed final 6. you vote with us guranteed final 5. and we are powerhouses. we can totally own the challenges.
timothy: you have a point there...
siaun: besides, they flipped and voted baowen last time. what makes you think it will not happen to you?
timothy: *speechless*
jack: hey we are still in an alliance right?
jianhong: i thought you will be going back to the old Snakes.
seelek: ya! why the sudden comeback?
jack: i just want to feel safe with the numbers.
seelek: that is so desperate of you.
day 23
*Dice tribe - Snakes campsite*
wanjing: xinfang, rachel and i are thinking of forming a tight alliance with you to bring us into the final 3.
xinfang: sounds interesting.
rachel: you can continue voting with your tribe but wanjing and i have to be safe. then we will help you in numbers to turn against your tribe and vote out someone in future.
xinfang: i will think about it.
jack: so you are going to vote siaun?
priscilla: yes. why do you even bother? to sneak back and tell him?
jack: not really, i might vote with you guys. siaun is very strong.
hanwei: that's great.
jianhong: oh my god. i think that jack is too paranoid.
seelek: yes. first coming up to us. now going to disturb priscilla. and he still has his Snakes members.
jianhong: he is playing the game too well...
day 24
zhenyang: come on in guys!
*Dice tribes walk in*
zhenyang: can i have the idol back?
*timothy passes tribal immunity to zhenyang*
zhenyang: once again immunity is back for grabs. however, this time you will be playing for individual immunity. you must put your mind over matter in this immunity challenge. you will be positioned in a row under a steel grate partially surmerged in water. your breathing space will slowly disappear as the tide rises. the person who stays under the grate the longest win immunity, safe from tonight's tribal council and is guranteed a 1 in 9 spots for the million dollars. everyone understood?
Dice tribe: yes.
zhenyang: survivors ready? GO!
*survivors under steel grate*
*20min elapsed*
zhenyang: everyone is doing well under the grate.
*40min elapsed*
zhenyang: oh! wanjing gave up. xinfang gave up too! 8 survivors left battling it out.
*50 min elapsed*
zhenyang: seelek gasping for air and gave up! priscilla is unable to continue! hanwei slid out of the grate! only siaun, timothy, rachel, jianhong and jack left in the challenge.
*60 min elapsed*
zhenyang: timothy slide out of the grate! 4 people left fighting of immunity!
*75 min elapsed*
zhenyang: rachel coming up for air! siaun giving up! jianhong and jack fighting for immunity!
*95 min elapsed*
jack gave up and comes up for air. JIANHONG WINS IMMUNITY!
jianhong: yes!
zhenyang: jianhong wins the first individual immunity. see you guys in tribal council tonight whereby one of you is going home. head back to camp.
*at Dice tribe*
jack: jianhong, priscilla and hanwei is voting siaun. shall we vote him too?
jianhong: why not? he is a threat just now.
jack: great! that means i am safe!
siaun: i saw jack scrambling around talking to almost everyone. and from what i heard, he is scrambling for alliance.
rachel: no way.
wanjing: we may not have the numbers but we are bringing him down.
priscilla: i am going to vote siaun. definitely!
jack: i am with you!
jianhong: oh my god! jack is so annoying now. he has to go.
timothy: but i think priscilla is bent on voting siaun.
jianhong: let's ignore them and vote our way.
timothy: *thinking to himself: that might happen to me in future* ok sure.
siaun: so timothy, who are they voting off?
timothy: jack.
siaun: ok that's bad. we will lose in numbers.
timothy: but there is no other way. it's either him or you.
siaun: ok.
xinfang: we are voting jack this time.
rachel: sure. as long as we are safe. anything will do.
siaun: they are voting jack.
rachel: i heard it from xinfang too.
wanjing: but hanwei and priscilla don't seem that way...
*at Tribal Council*
zhenyang: welcome back to tribal council. siaun, your tribe seemed to be on the minority side. are you worried?
siaun: of course i am. but that means i just have to put in more effort and win challenges that will be coming my way.
zhenyang: speaking of challenges, jack you hung out quite long during the immunity challenge.
jack: yes, i am quite insecure about my position in the game so i have to try my best to win the challenge to help myself.
jianhong: i am sure you did more than that.
jack: what do you mean?
seelek: i am sure you have approached everyone to help you stay in the game and i am sure people are pissed about it.
zhenyang: seelek, i can see you dont seem happy.
seelek: sure i am. jumping alliance is seen as unworthy of any trust and i am sure there are others who feel that way.
zhenyang: wanjing, you have been out with jack the longest. what do you think?
wanjing: well, after the merge he was the most anxious to find an alliance and it was very obvious that he totally neglected his previous alliance mates.
jack: that is how we play the game. do you want me to die hanging on to the alliance with the minority?
zhenyang: ok chill. xinfang, how important do you think alliance are in this game?
xinfang: i think how far you go depends on how strong your alliance is. and i can see that the previous Snakes members might suffer badly with such a tribemate.
jack: *shaking head*
zhenyang: ok. jianhong, you have the immunity idol. are you keeping it or giving it to someone else?
jianhong: i am keeping it!
zhenyang: ok it's time to vote. you cannot vote jianhong. everyone else are vulnearable. jianhong, you are up.
