"The Great Evacuation from the Island," they called this episode of "Survival | and prepared us for the worst of all. The typhoon that would change the face of the game, we were promised, and we imagined an encounter between" Titanic "and" Restart. "Will the tribes manage to escape the cruel power of nature? Will Yuval find volleyball on the new safe haven and call him "Wilson"? And at what point will Zohar decide it is legitimate to try to bite his tribe like they were prey for hunting in light of the new situation and the fact he has not eaten for two weeks? Revealed to us that two survivors suffered from hypothermia and the game and filming were stopped for several days while the survivors were in isolated buildings.
Not too much, but thanks for asking. After the initial shock phase, the survivors boarded boats and left the island they had a home for, to avoid disaster and wetting of photographic equipment. The alternate island they reach turns out to be a not particularly attractive swamp (the sand in it is mud, God forbid!) And this is the essence of the great evacuation drama. "Island of the Dead," Vered defines it. "A place of safety. Harwad," Odelia Suissa murmurs to her, concluding: "I came to Sirhuniada even bigger." Exciting materials, no doubt.
The truth is that it is good that this storm happened, otherwise there was mostly nothing more to report on this show.
We started the episode with a solid fight between Gadi Del Kishorim and Maayan trying to find her way back into the game.
In the duel, the two had to hold an object in their right hand for a long time, and that was the end of the great competition between them.
At one point Gadi finds the pose that helps him keep his hand straight without it falling off, and his tribe members are as proud as parents of a bar mitzvah groom.
"He's the genius of this kid," Ella soothes.
"Let him fall already, this annoying boy, let him fall," says Maayan, who competes with him, and it does not seem strange to anyone to call a man in his 24th year, married plus 1.

At the end Maayan is disqualified while the kid Capricorn wins and shouts his happiness to the sky, as if he had won an Olympic medal and not as if he just managed not to exhaust a muscle. "For the first time in my life I win something," he exclaims, Let someone give this man a reward. Or proportions.
Later, the robot Guy Zo-Eretz reveals to the members of the tribes that Shabbat is upon them, and they are very excited to receive a challah and an advertisement for a courier company. "Creator of the world, thank you for sending us in DHL," Yuval pushes the marketing content, then greets. In the spirit of Shabbat, everyone in the Libolan tribe enjoys small moments of kindness, recounts their childhood traumas, welcomes the food and agrees that the apocalypse is a loser tribe. In the morning Odelia invents Amy Winehouse's song "Rehab" new words in alternate English and makes sure to kill the late singer, in case all the alcohol and drugs didn't finish work there a decade ago. That it's a little less awful than Jackie's decision that a meerkat, a kind of mongoose that exists and stands on its own, is actually an ostrich. Roll out the two, in your mouth, because that really is not the case.
Just before the end of the episode we get a glimpse of Saturday dinners at Beit Gedi.
"Having lunch is a steak," says the child of all of us with a big smile, asks Guy Zo-Eretz to inquire about his favorite drinks and then specifies that it is "Cola, Kilo Zero."
The Minister of Drinks literally.
From here we move on to the spearhead mission - which is basically another game of "Do not drop this thing you have in hand".
By and large the whole point of "survival" is actually to sleep on the ground, brush your teeth with mud and hold things in your hand.
But will we be able to hold this season until Passover?
As if we have a choice.
