The episode descriptions hint at the brewing conflicts, as well. Loose lips sink ships when one castaway's frustrations put a wedge between them and their tribe, teases an episode synopsis, promising plenty of drama and strategic maneuvering as the castaways navigate the treacherous social landscape of *Survivor*. The stakes are high, the alliances are fragile, and the island environment will continue to test the players' limits. Episode 10, ominously titled My Enemies Are Plottin, suggests the rising tensions and betrayals that are bound to unfold as the game progresses.
