"The day VIP survival begins anew!"
Cried the promos.
"Union!", Guy Zo-Erez announced most dramatically, against the backdrop of heroic music straight from Jurassic Park.
We must have turned to an exciting episode, we thought to ourselves.
No more Apollo and Libolan, but Pegasa.
Yes, the name of the new united tribe sounds like a slang of celebrants in Bombala, but not terrible.
We are told that the word means "hope", and while Ella says that for her it was a hope for food, we actually hoped for a crazy episode.
Instead we got a dance party and a fashion show of Hawaiian shirts.

"The party!", Guy lights up the men and women of the new tribe. "The desserts!", He continues, "the borax mushrooms!". But shortly after the tribes unite and just before the big party, Sword Zo-Eretz, as is his custom in holiness, celebrates with another dramatic announcement. Two survivors, i.e. one from each tribe, will be absent from the party and forced to sink into depression while hunting crabs on an island. It's exactly Jackie's time to eat the words she said just two minutes into this episode, upon learning of the union thing.
"One-on-one there is no hatred," she was heard to say, before meeting her sworn enemy Zohar Strauss, who was among those deciding on the issue of who should go to Borax and who should go to Pomo Island.
She and Strauss quarrel as usual, then Azoulay learns that every Saturday has a Saturday night.
She is sent to the island along with Dandan, who actually jumps at the chance to get away for a few days from this unbearable bunch, and is also probably the only person in "Survival" who prefers to crush crabs and pump them ("It's clean meat," he explains to Jackie Weeping later) than Go wild about gin and tonic, mobbed and other marketing content from a fashion company.
The rest of the survivors dress in their best clothes (well, to be precise - in photogenic goods sent by the sponsor) and prepare to celebrate as if the year is 1999.
Sushi!
Cutting Edge !,
The party on the island feels like Gadi's wedding, but everyone is happy because it's served full of sushi.
Because handsome sea creatures and rice is what these people have been missing in recent weeks.
"Leave me alone, I came to a food party," declares Ella, who refuses to dance and says that at weddings she eats the buffet and goes out with a profit of NIS 4,000.
All the rest burst into acceptable dance moves at varying levels, except for the singing that goes into a trance and it seems that the blow of the sun has led her to believe that she is in After Bowman.

It all happens while Jackie is fucking with her life, and while we find out that Dandan's children and wife have probably seen him crack a coconut and hunt the monster king of a miracle in their lives, but to watch him cry is a privilege he keeps only for the chef and reality anchor, because Hard on the island for him right now is to miss Michael Lewis.
After the lifts, the survivors get pictures of their loved ones from home, mostly spouses and children, and only these get a picture of her mother and complain "but who sadist sent a picture with a double chin? I had another one later".
Then Guy arrives to bass them all again with a tribal council out of nowhere, after which another man will be expelled even before he has had time to digest the sashimi.
"Council by surprise!", He announces, basting at the monkey, while Ella is ashamed that she has not yet exhausted the food stage, and in her words "I have not yet reached fruit."
See you in the dramatic washout episode.
There will be Pegasa.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
