I wish I knew more gangster movies for a clever title here

Erika kicks off the episode with the episode title, 'Baby with a machinegun', in an analogy I'm still not sure I fully understand. We're down to the final 8, and with what seems like a tight alliance of 4-5 players, people are getting antsy about their odds of getting to the end, and want to make some moves.

You can really tell the players are having a rough go in the reward challenge from lack of food, Jeff is really making them work for it this season. Ricard pulls off the big W to win some classic Survivor Pizza, that remains suspiciously off screen. (+5 reward). He picks Shan, Heather, and Xander (+2 pts) to join him - Some smart choices, reward your closest ally, work on your relationships with some floaters, and they're people that you can't be blamed for picking, due to no previous rewards.

This is an immunity challenge Ricard *needs* to win, and he manages the double challenge win! Does being a flight attendant give you better balance? (+7 immunity points)

Everyone gets their time with Papa Jeff, but Ricard scores the rare voting confessional in the re-vote. Good game Shan, great episode, great arc, each episode I'm feeling like a full rematch with 80% of the same cast would be fun.

Notes:
Shan and Xander each earn 1 point for having an idol in their pocket at the start of the episode
