Jimmy became the official new team member in the fourth episode, and Survive The Raft Episode 5 will show how the other team members take it. Moreover, the elimination round had a different method from the previous episode.
As usual, the show pushed the contestants to embrace discomfort, learn valuable lessons, go with the unpredictable flow, and more in the previous episode. We can assume that the upcoming episode will take the legacy further.
The contestants will continue to battle for the common goal keeping their differences aside. They must win daily challenges to win an amount for their teams. Meanwhile, they can steal others’ money and nominate a contestant to get replaced by a new one.

Survive The Raft Episode 4 Recap
Lashanna stole the limelight in Survive The Raft Episode 4, titled ‘Prepare To Send Nudes.’ The episode got a weird name for making five team members run naked in the jungle and find the maximum number of pieces of fruit. Getting a special apple would allow the individual contestant to get $50,000. However, none could do it.
Lashanna’s argument with Summer H. and her threatening words in the second episode made Merissa uncomfortable and Maddie shocked. On the other hand, Lashanna felt defeated for everyone taking her words in the wrong way in the fourth episode.
The host, Nate Boyer, mentioned how to Survive The Raft. He addressed embracing discomfort. It is not limited to the physical one, which goes away by living with strangers in a raft amid the Pacific Ocean.
Nate Boyer talked about the discomfort that can be eliminated through communication and understanding each other morally, spiritually, and ethically. He continued to utter more valuable words for survival in the show.
Embracing unpredictability is difficult but fruitful, added Boyer. The contestants who already followed it stood out from the crowd. Going together will help them, though it is a competition, and they must also think of increasing their bank balance.
The fourth episode teaches how unpredictable the show and the world can be. Russell, who used to be loved by many contestants and viewers, got targeted and eliminated. It is how Jimmy Yessin entered the race, replacing her.
Survive The Raft Episode 5 Preview
The previous episode did not have official nominees for elimination. Thus, the contestants nominated others in their own way. Survive The Raft Episode 5, titled Step Back and Watch It Burn, will show the aftermath of Lashanna’s shocking elimination.
Lashanna Lintamo entered the show in the first episode. She was assumed to create a strategy to keep the current contestants and not let the new contestants replace anyone. However, the assumption was rejected by her and Elliot in the second episode.
Merissa considered Lashanna a threat to physical safety, and her thoughts did not change when Lashanna tried to convince her before the nomination in the fourth episode. Various viewers must have set different expectations from the new ‘official’ contestant, Jimmy Yessin. So, the upcoming episode will show he will grab an opportunity and take over the raft.
Jimmy will get desperate in the fifth episode, take a wrong step, get into trouble, and break the bro code. Let us hope he stands up to our expectations because other contestants chose him over Lashanna, though he is a new entrant.
