As always, you can’t entirely trust what’s going on during the “Next Time On Survivor” preview, as the season 35 episode 10 synopsis paints a new picture.

Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers has been quite predictable in its eliminations, save a few early on. The editors have bent over backwards to include as much footage as possible that could hint at the opposite result ahead of every Tribal Council, but with a post-merge, two-tribe Pagonging in place, the season has really started to drag on.

Fortunately, it looks like things may finally pop off very soon, as the Survivor season 35 episode 10 synopsis has been posted on the CBS Entertainment press site. Here is the full description for “Buy One, Get One Free”:

"Can one secret agent keep their cover or will they be discovered, on back-to-back episodes of SURVIVOR, Wednesday, Nov. 29 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network."

That gives us a ton to think about. First off, who the hell is the “secret agent” being hinted at? As we saw in the latest episode’s promo, roughly half the cast had hinted at a blindside of epic proportions, but only so many people can know what the actual plan is going to be, meaning a blindside could only apply to a select few.

Second, when exactly will this “secret agent” shenanigans happen? Since we’re looking at a double-length episode this week (two players minimum leaving the game over two hours of television), it’s entirely possible that we continue a Pagonging in the first hour and the secret agent stuff is pulled off with one Healer remaining.

Thirdly, what if the “secret agent” stuff has to do with a Secret Advantage-like twist? That promo promised “double the twists” of a regular episode, although it’s entirely possible that it’s just a marketing ploy. We’ll have to find out once episode 10 airs on November 29 from 8 to 10 p.m. ET.
