Although the wait for more Survivor: Game Changers seems too long, the CBS synopsis has plenty of information to break down next week’s episode.

After this week’s Survivor: Game Changers premiere, we wouldn’t blame you if you absolutely can’t wait for next week’s episode. We’ve already seen two eliminations: Ciera and Tony, both from the Mana Tribe, which means they’re down in numbers, right?

Well, that will change quickly. CBS has already released the synopsis for next week’s episode of Survivor. Read it below:

"“‘Survivor Jackpot’ – Survivors drop their buffs for a tribe swap, and the game starts from scratch for one set of castaways. Also, one castaway leaves his tribemates stranded in the ocean so he can search their camp for the immunity idol, on SURVIVOR, Wednesday, March 15 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.”"

Let’s start with that first sentence. Jeff Probst confirmed even before the season started that there would be a third tribe added in very early in the game. Although the complete results of the shuffle aren’t known, the preview aired at the end of the premiere did confirm the makeup of the new Nuku tribe.

  • J.T.
  • Sandra
  • Aubry
  • Varner
  • Michaela
  • Malcolm

That’s a pretty dangerous situation for J.T., since he is the only original Nuku member on the tribe. Additionally, Sandra, Varner, and Michaela all worked together to oust Tony, and even Aubry and Malcolm turned on him as well. Should this new Nuku tribe go to Tribal, J.T. will probably be the easiest target.

However, Sandra might find it easier to work with the only other remaining winner in the game. J.T. doesn’t have the same issues as Tony does with paranoia. Then again, the preview also showed the event alluded to in the above synopsis: J.T. will use that fishing kit to take everyone out “snorkeling” and then go searching. That may not sit well with her.

The fact that it comes up at all in the synopsis suggests that J.T. will either come very close to finding it or will actually find it.
