Ep 7. I'm the Puppet Master

In Survivor season 38 episode 7, titled "I'm the Puppet Master," the game is getting more intense and the alliances are starting to crumble. As the tribe members face new challenges, they must decide whether to trust their existing alliances or switch things up and make new deals.

At the beginning of the episode, the remaining players are still reeling from the previous tribal council, where one of the members of a tight-knit alliance was blindsided and sent home. Everyone is feeling exposed and vulnerable, and tensions are running high.

The first challenge of the episode is an endurance test where players must hold onto a rope while balancing on a narrow perch. As the hours pass, some players begin to falter, and alliances start to become apparent as they try to help each other out. However, as time goes on, it becomes clear that some players are not as loyal as they appear, and a new power player emerges.

Back at camp, the players begin to plot and scheme, forming new alliances and trying to figure out who to trust. One player, feeling particularly confident in her position, declares herself the "puppet master" of the game, but her arrogance may be her downfall.

As the players head to tribal council, they must make tough decisions about who to vote for and who to trust. With so much on the line, the tension is palpable as alliances are put to the test and secrets are revealed.

In the end, one player will be sent home, leaving the rest to continue the game, but not without some major shakeups to the existing alliances. As the season progresses, it's clear that anything can happen in this game of Survivor, and the players must be constantly vigilant and adaptable if they want to make it to the end.
