After an emotional council, the survivors return to the tribe without Capricorn and immediately open up in their own impromptu tribal council. On the spotlight – Jonathan Bashan, who dared not vote with the Great Alliance and remain loyal to his alliance. Jonathan’s bet may have failed and he is marked as the next ousted, but at least he would have had the courage to do what everyone else just fears and fear of death – to go his own way.
In the tribe, the survivors run in two small councils, Dudu Awat takes Jonathan for a conversation that contains sincerity and mostly an attempt by both of them to go sporty, but Jackie Azoulay runs her own council with Zohar Strauss and she has already said her word, Jonathan on the way to the villa. And if his uncle just says a word to his credit? Harbo Darbo on his head.
The two councils give rise to a third conversation, this time between Dudu and Zohar, with the former demonstratively announcing to the latter “I give you the next move to oust Jonathan.” Such unconsciousness has not been observed on the island since Zohar kept the bell and arranged for himself the first flush. Anyone buy that Zohar will plan a move? That his uncle would still delegate some authority to him?
Jonathan, feeling the sword over his head, volunteers to run to the cabin and closes a deal with Lia – I lose you, you return to the original alliance with Dandan, Ella and by my side. The guy is so desperate for voices to keep him in the game that he is willing to close his eyes and forget that for a long time Lia has not been in this alliance, she has progressed and is now fantasizing about reviving the women’s alliance as soon as she returns.

Lia for her part is acting exactly as expected of her. She will shake every hand that is extended to her, but she will be the one to choose who to push down when she comes back up. So one victory she already counts, and now all that is needed is for Dandan to come to the hut and send her back to the tribe, which will only bring him closer to the villa.
So Lia and Jonathan won for them, but in every deal there is a losing side and this time it is Odelia Suissa, who understands that she will only see her children when she returns to Israel. Mother’s tears are never an easy play and the whole tribe mobilizes to encourage her, but Odelia is hard to reassure and she does not understand why Lia does not give up on her and lets her talk to her family.
So here’s the answer: Lia does not give up, because Lia comes to survive as a real actress, one who wants to reach the final in her own right and act with her head. Odelia, on the other hand, came to the island because she is a reality finalist, whose connection to survival is purely coincidental. Lia may have come to the cabin because of her moves, but at least she tried. Odelia had long been supposed to be in the villa and was rescued because of the tribal exchange and quick adherence to Jackie’s swimsuit. Odelia’s nerves keep pouring out, and she takes a lesson from her master and calls Lia “a bad, bad woman.” Flashback to the start of the season Anyone?
After the tension has eased a bit, Shira Farber announces that all four women who have come this far are here on their own merits and not because of a man or riding on someone’s back. The discussion between Shira and his uncle heats up and ends with the boys going to the beach and the girls having their own discussion, but they all deal with one thing – will the women’s alliance take shape, or not?
Women Survival Alliance VIP (Photo: Network Screenshot 13)Jackie, it seems, is torn between the various options, but in front of the girls she presents exactly her right character. The charismatic leader in whom she elicits from the girls the response Jackie expected and everything seems sealed and closed. The only problem? The tasks.
So far, in all the personal immunity missions the men have won. The only time Jackie was protected was because his uncle chose to hand over the chain to her (I will note that also, in the distant past, Rose was immune from dismissal, but that is only because of a cross-tribal transition). If the girls continue this way, at least one man will sit in the final. Unless Jackie pulls a move from the women’s playbook in survival in the United States, and convinces her allies to give up chains. And yes, I write Jackie because there is no chance that such a move will come from Shira, Ella or Odelia.
The real action is saved for the end: his uncle wins the prize mission (and adds another victory to the long list since the union) and chooses, God bless, not Jackie but those who fought alongside him and against him in the mission. The production and Guy Zo-Eretz immediately understand that the guy made a mistake and allow him to take another person to share the prize with, but his uncle does not understand the hint and chooses Jonathan instead.
Choosing Jonathan is one step too far for Jackie, who immediately tells his uncle the truth – if not her, he is not in the game, and his uncle does not like it at all. If Jackie had any doubts about ousting him, they were over at that moment. To the cameras she may say she’s confused, but she knows very well. Did you think it was over? No, Guy allows him to correct the mistake and choose another person for the meal. This time his uncle understood the message. Did you really think the production would allow Jackie not to enjoy the award? Still, there is one woman I would hire who plays, it is very worthwhile to take care of her.
