Coming here to play this is about uplifting other Black people and giving Black people something to root for, everything else thatвЂ™s out there thatвЂ™s killing us.вЂќ It has this currency that can kill youвЂ¦ literally kill you. Liana comments: вЂњEverywhere I go as a Black woman, IвЂ™m a Black woman firstвЂ¦ ThereвЂ™s no question that weвЂ™re coming out of a year like 2020 where people are just now becoming conscious of the fact that being Black actually means something. ItвЂ™s a blessing to have such a diverse cast, but I didnвЂ™t think this decision, this moment, would be so hard.вЂќ вЂњThis is the game I love, and I came here to play it, but people donвЂ™t understand that extra baggage you bring into this game. вЂњThe gameplay and morals intersected, and it was so hard,вЂќ he says through tears. Coming into the game, he wanted to represent the Black community as well as possible, which made last weekвЂ™s Shan vote extremely difficult. A conversation about integrity then brings Deshawn to tears. TRIBAL COUNCIL | While discussing the seasonвЂ™s high-risk predicaments, they all justify their decisions to play (or not) in the immunity challenge. Though she trusts him, Erika is scared they might not get another chance to take the shot. The guy is likable, has a resume and is a big challenge threat. Plus, he trusts Ricard way more than he trusts Liana, who has lied to his face countless times.Д®rika entertains the idea of snipping Ricard. Danny talks to Xander about doing just that, but the idol-holder knows if Ricard goes, heвЂ™s next in line. Privately, Danny celebrates his win with Deshawn, but the two know that if Deshawn survives the twist, they have to get Ricard out next. The challenge lasts a few rounds, but Danny eventually wins out.Д«ack at camp, Deshawn tells the group heвЂ™s OK with his decision because at least he took fate into his own hands. DeshawnвЂ™s ball unfortunately drops first, merely seconds into the challenge. Heather and Liana decide to sit out, while Erica, Ricard, Deshawn, Xander and Danny decide to play.

ItвЂ™s another high-risk, high-reward situation, but this oneвЂ™s gonna come with a hefty price for one of these castaways. However, players donвЂ™t have to compete in the immunity challenge. But if that player loses, he or she is automatically out, and there will be no vote. If he or she survives the game, that player is safe, and the vote carries on as usual. And of course, thereвЂ™s a twist! (New drinking game: Chug every time Jeff says the word вЂњdangerous.вЂќ) The first person to drop out of the challenge must participate in a new game called вЂњ Survivor Do or Die.вЂќ At Tribal, the loser must play a game of chance. Over time, theyвЂ™ll add blocks to the contraption, but if their ball drops, theyвЂ™re out. IMMUNITY IS BACK UP FOR GRABS | Players must use a set of handles and wooden cylinder blocks to balance a ball. (This scene was yet another example of Season 41вЂ™s storytelling prowess.)

вЂњIвЂ™m going to try to move forward being happy and try to live the rest of my life making him proud,вЂќ he says. He spent years being angry at his dad, but now that heвЂ™s a grown man, heвЂ™s learning to get over the shame he felt for being angry in the first place when he knows it was beyond his fatherвЂ™s control. He tells us his dad died in a car accident when he was just a boy, and though he usually keeps himself busy on the anniversary, he has nothing to do on the island but reflect. Meanwhile, itвЂ™s the 25th anniversary of DannyвЂ™s fatherвЂ™s death, and the loss still weighs heavily on him. They try to repair their bond and difference of opinion, but itвЂ™s clear that all Liana wants is revenge.

Danny and Deshawn tell her it wasnвЂ™t their idea, but RicardвЂ™s. Liana wants answers as to why she was left out of the Shan plan.

Their concerns led to one of the most emotional Tribal Councils the series has ever seen, as Liana, Deshawn and Danny explained to Jeff and their castmates what itвЂ™s like to be Black, while simultaneously trying to win such a deceitful game. As the aftermath of ShanвЂ™s shocking vote-out last week ( read her exit interview here) sent a ripple effect throughout the tribe, the Black castaways struggled to reconcile their wanting to play the game with the burden of representing their culture and doing Black America proud.

But thatвЂ™s not even what fueled these powerful 44 minutes. In WednesdayвЂ™s episode, Jeff unleashed yet another twist, which frankly, has become quite exhausting.
