There was plenty of action packed into Wednesday’s episode of “Survivor: Blood vs. Water,” with a disgusting food challenge and two different tribal councils.
Forcing castaways to eat gross things is a classic “Survivor” move, and it was the first immunity challenge of the episode. The competitors were split into two groups of five, with the first three of each group to finish going on to the next round.
First up on the menu — 40 mealworms, so wriggly that some of them couldn’t stay in the cup they were put in. Ugh. Tyson and Monica advance, as does Vytas, who had to pick a few of them off the ground after coughing them up and still eat them.
Then it’s time for the other group of five. Gervase has not had good luck with this challenge in the past, and he starts jumping up and down and hitting himself in the head to psych himself up for what’s to come. Ciera just spits hers out, and Tina soon gives up too. That leaves Hayden, Caleb and Gervase going to round two.
