A Colorful Merge Celebration!

A Colorful Merge Celebration!

Previously on surv1vor, after Zamba lost yet another immunity challenge, wins tribal immunity and reward.  Who’s it going to be?  It’s going to be Smash.  Anella was saved again by his former Zumba Alliance members, Reneer, Amy, Nicole, Marishia, and Sha.  Shelter will show you the way.  And immediately I’m thinking, okay, so there’s a treasure h.unt on here.

After his previous loss at Immunity Island, Anella had better luck and received tribal insurance. This power allows you to claim anyone’s vote as your own.  At Vuna, Reneer was playing chappies. Let’s give the diamond off each other’s back.  He feels I’m so dependent on him, and that is fantastic.

The latest stage in this game, I’ll draw my little minion sword. I’ll chop his head off and I’ll go on again. That’s how it works.  At Zumba, Tyson was in possession of the Zamba immunity idol after finding it with Santony and Karen. I’m such an idiot for not flipping looking.  At tribal council, Anela and Ward were at it again.

It would be naive of me even to look too much into the love that I’m getting from the other side.  And yet you willing to just cut relations with one of those people. Smart. Really very smart. Not  and with Kieran Santony W and Tyson sticking together. Kean was sent home. 12 are left.

Who will be voted out tonight? Tonight at tribal council, Kan was voted out because our first choice, which was Anela, was sent to immunity island.  But you, what did you say was spotlight? Why was it easy?  Of course it is. It’s what it is. like this boy has no clue what he’s doing.  I just can’t believe that a player in surv1vor is willing to just cut all ties and not consider working with somebody when there’s still so much more game play to go.

But I mean, if he feels he wants to play like that, then let’s see how far it takes him. Yo, I woke up this morning and I just walked around the corner and something said Just look up. It has to be an idol. It’s in a little bag, but I know I’m not sure. Will I be able to retrieve it? Need any help?  No. Max,

we don’t want everyone to know about it. I think we will reveal it to the rest of our alliance.  After so much looking for hours and hours, we actually find an idol. The idol is in play. This is absolutely incredible. Luckily, it’s in my hands and I’m holding on to it and survivor is saying, “It’s your idol.

You don’t share it.” So, I like to see what’s going to go down here. There’s no way this thing’s leaving my side.   I’ll either keep it on me or tell you guys, listen, it’s it’s hidden here.  Okay.  But I must say this gives me so much rea.ssurance for us seven because I don’t think we’ll us five, but because I don’t think we’ll need to use it necessarily  and we know that there’s one less out there.

That’s actually the big thing.  From the beginning, I said I’ll tell my alliance about the idol. So, I think it does put a bit of power in your hand and on your side and as long as no one knows about it except us five, we can be safe.  Three miles.  Oh, here we go. Coming. Free mail has arrived.

You are coolly invited. Toast the wild coast.  You’ll sure be delighted. It’s what you want most. The game is halfway.  You emerge as a survivor. Welcome to M.   Welcome to M.  Finally, it’s M.  Zumba is ecstatic after we hear the word merge.  WE MADE IT.   We use the last bit of energy we have to give some sort of celebration.

Yay.  I am explos1vely excited beyond words.  I’ve got to merge without even having to use my diplomatic immunity.  So lad1es and gentlemen, bring it on. The next part of the game has beg.un. I am so excited. It’s about to get saucy and spicy. And this next half of the game is where I really let loose and play the game I want to play.

Zamboo,  there’s no secret that my alliance is currently at Vuna. So, you know, now that I can kind of resolidify those, um, I think that’s going to put me in goodstead going forward.  Three at last. Kieran, Santine, and Ward do know about my idol and everybody else doesn’t.

So, I’d like to keep it that way for as much as possible. It gives me an opportunity to bl1ndside one of the strongest players in this game.  We are very excited that there is an idol amongst us knowing that they don’t have one. So, it makes us original Zambas feel a bit more at ease going into merge. Come on in, guys.

We’re now getting a look at the new Zamba tribe. Kon voted out at the last tribal council. I haven’t seen you guys smiling as much since the first day of the season.  I’m a.ssuming you all got the good news.  All right. Well, what are you guys waiting for? Drop your buffs.  Burn Zumba burn.  Fresh buffs. Grab one. Smell it.

Put it on.  I’m so scared in this mode cuz I know I’ve got a ma.ssive target on my back. The smartest thing to do is to break up the girls cuz I think the girls hold a lot of power.  Love it.  What does it mean?  Oh, you know, if there was a very, very big mistake that all of the castaways made, it was letting me in by the merge gates.

Once the gates has been opened for the shark, you’re going to see fish guts all over this place.  Vuna and Zamba are no more. Your new tribe name, which is the kosa word for  the one who recovered, the one who made it through, the one who was saved.  In other words, survivor. So now you guys are one tribe.  A lot of these players have been playing.

I’ve been playing solid for 19 days. These people have still got happy tribe, happy vibe. Now the game begins. We’re on surv1vor. It’s time to get real. Right now, with the help of Sun International and Wild Coast Sun, we’ve put together a merge feast of note. We’re talking an array of beef, chicken, and vegetable curries and loads of dessert to go along with it.

To wash it all down, some delicious wine, soft drinks, and since it’s a celebration feast, we thrown in some gin and tonics.  Very, very thankful to Sun International for just preparing that for us out here in the wild where everything is just rough and tough and then you get this glamorous meal.

Ma.ssive contrast to what we’ve had thus far.  If you guys want to thrive in the next phase of this game, this is where you need to kick it up a notch. Only one of you will outwit, outplay, and outlast the others. And if you want to be that person, you better play hard, play smart, play to win. And I don’t need to tell you, you need to sleep with one eye open. Happy merge, everybody.

I’ll see you guys at your first individual immunity challenge.  See you.  But for now, enjoy. Off you go.  Thank you.  Oh, figs. real.  Oh my soul.  When the gates open for the merge feast, what’s the first thing I do? I kind of work out a plan and see if there isn’t any clues.  Look at that.

I want to get to know you. Please do.  Yes, you do.  But I didn’t see anything to my disappointment. Oh my goodness. Now at this, this is amazing.  Wow.  These roast potatoes.  Yes. Wow. And couscous. Even though I’m enjoying my food and enjoying the feast, I am constantly watching who’s talking to who.

The blond1e sitting together wasn’t a surprise for me, but it again confirms the suspicion that they’re going to stick with that gameplay of voting Zamba OG strong basically till the end. They are loyal to one another, and I really think that they pose both a physical and strategic threat going into merge.

How’s it going, lad1es? I’m just checking whe there’s some very nice food here.  Oh, no.  I’m just looking at some of the nice food here.  I know you name so well.  Merch Feast is historically known for having some kind of clue or advantage or even idol present. But Japanese, that guy’s no filter.

Running around picking up people’s plates, looking underneath this over there. I’m like, why are you doing this? Under the table, lifting things, looking for the eye doctor.  My goodness. The Japanese is only a third gla.ss of wine.  Oh, he’s excited.  Are you trying to get us back?  Oh, I haven’t had wine for about 3 4 weeks already, you know.

So, I after the first gla.ss, I was like, “Oh, yeah. I’ve arrived at the party.” And I had to contain myself.  Are we going to press the reset button,  brother?  Yes.  Remove your gla.ss.  Let’s push the reset button.  Okay.  Indulging to indulging.  Unlike Anella, I’m not writing anyone off despite my history with Chappies.

I will work with them. If it means keeping me longer in the game and getting me to the finals, I will work with Chappies. I don’t write anyone off. Do  you know how special that reward was?  Is it? And we had the most amazing dessert.  What was it?  We’ll tell you about it a bit later. It was just unexpected dessert.

Did you guys get letters from home?  Even more  videos.  I’m excited to see the every  This was like your loved one giving you a message. And just picture that because here’s the thing.  Your husband did record it.  It just it just it it is out there. It was just not displayed.  And may that just be a bit more fuel in the tank because it was a lot of fuel in my tank.

Why are you crying?  Because Chappies is making me cry.  He’s being  a vessel for my husband. A   So I’m a little pissed off with Chappies. Um purely because we made an agreement at the Mexican feast that we wouldn’t tell anyone about the family videos because it’s just not fair.

Um and he went and told V straight away. Let’s be honest, he’s just manipulating his way um to see if he can get further in the game because he knows he’s up for the chop. Um and he’s trying anything and everything to gain a foothold.  Oh, how’s your wine? Is it hectic to drink wine?  I just Yeah, it’s too heavy. I drink it so well.

I am not liking this clickiness of the girls and the laughing and the bubble and the back fizzy vibes. That’s not my scene. So, I’m going to have to just give into that part of me to see if it’s people that I can work with.  You want to sit here?  Yeah. No. That’s nice.  What’s nice?  Just nice to not know you might be going home at least for now in this few seconds.

But I think you have at least another  So, now I do  four votes before you’ll be going home.  Who the made you in charge of who I when I go home? And I must be grateful. Thank you. Oh, wow. Thanks for giving me three votes. Like, I don’t know. I don’t think you say that. It’s so vent.  Cheers to um  Can you please pa.ss me  a lovely merge feast?  I look forward to the next  however many days with everyone.

You’re all a lovely bunch of people, so let’s have a lot of fun and savor every moment we can.  Exactly.  Cheers, everyone.  Cheers.  Afternoon nap coming up. Hey,  if you’re coming here just to make merch, I think you you’re probably in the wrong game and you’re selling yourself short.

This is just the next stepping stone. So, I’ve got to acknowledge it, be happy, but I put my head down and I’m already looking forward to that next goal, which is final three.  Guys, yo, I’m so full. I’m stuffed. We walk back to the new Oendil camp, aka old Vuna. And oh my goodness, I walk in there and it’s been an upgrade of note.

Fishing chicken.  We’ve got a chicken coupe, which I am a bit skeptical of. I know that’s going to throw a few spanner in the works into my game, but I welcome them anyway. And it feels like coming back home, but with some new flavor.  Is it puff? I think  a whole bag of puff.  And this is a whole bag of rice.

Just to have this camp set up properly like that made me realize the game is up the level. The camp has up the level. I’ve got to up a level everything I do now.  Yeah. What a day.  What a day, guys.  Merged. You have been merged.  Yeah.  So, my last visit at Immunity Island, I was given a couple of clues which had a little bit of an advantage for me at the end of it.

I kept those clues and I plan to just hide them around the campsite and uh send some people on some wild goose chases for absolutely nothing effectively. Just want to have a bit of fun with some people. I got a clue to tribal insurance.  Yeah.  And what tribal insurance means is that I can steal someone else’s vote.  Okay. Nice.

But now the first time I was sent, I got a no vote for losing the game.  My no votes will still be cast as no vote, but I can still say someone got  But now I took those clues that they had for me to do and I’ve kept them. And I want to send someone on a wild goose. Yes.  Okay. Let me ask you quickly.

Did Amy tell you about idol?  Yeah.  Okay. I literally just want to have fun with people. I want them expending their energy and their thought process on absolutely bugger. Okay, so this one goes to the rice.  Yeah,  that was the first clue and that clue tells them to look in the shelter. Then the shelter one, this is clue number three.

So this is the one that will then  Don’t let them know the sign because I think the next idol is underneath the sign here.  Durator.  All right. because it’s a new sign.  As I’m giving Sean the rundown of what I plan to do, Chappie walks in, which is not what I was expecting.  I’m going to show this to Chappie and say I found it now.

Yeah, we’ll find it.  Bro, check what I found in the box.  Ah, which box?  One of the wood box. The shelter will show the way.  Wow. The shelter will show the way. And this is a clue to something. Most probably an immunity idol. That just made me wonder, what might that mean? The shelter will show the way.

I can’t help but think this fr3aking idle is going to be hidden underneath the the bed of the bamboo. This first clue should lead whoever finds it to the shelter. There, I’ll plant the next one, which should lead them to the skulls, which the only thing we have that has skulls here is the staffs.

That will lead them to the final clue, which is going to be by the sign. Now, I know that we’ve just hit a merge, so there’s potential that there could be an idle around that sign. So, I’m going to look for that first before I I lead someone to a real pot of golf.   Am I going to go search for this now or not? Everyone is at camp now and they’re enjoying the new camp and the setup.

How am I going to do it? I can’t enter from the front, but maybe I can enter from the back.  Is there any wind coming in here at the back? If I do some camouflaging with the leaves and cover up some holes to protect the shelter from wind gusting through the holes, I might use those leaves as camouflage and just dive underneath that bunker.

I get out from underneath the bunker and I stand up and within that moment, Marishia arrives around the corner. She’s like, “What are you doing?” What second it is?  It was seconds away. If they caught me while I was busy underneath that bunker. Oh goodness. The X would not have only been on my back.

It would have been on my forehead.  He’s been running around.  No, I’ve been chilling here. That’s why I was laughing. He’s losing it. What’s happening? He can’t see it tooth. He’s looking at it. is being where is he now? Are you where is he? He’s gone down there.  While I’m busy taking out one of the torches, I see this little note come out and I’m like, “Oh, this is the road map to the idol.

”  And it’s for people that you don’t know. Your family like, “Oh, I know that one. When you’re hungry,  the sign is the key.” Now, I’ve got one note that said, “The shelter will show the way.” I’ve got another note that said the sign is the key and now I must put these dots together and try and figure out where that fr3aking idol is before anyone else find it.

And no, I’m not going to tell Sean about my note. Unfortunately not. He should not have told me about his, you know. And if I found that idol, you think it’s going to be ours? No. It’s going to be mad.  I’m super glad you’re back.  Yeah. Good to see you.  Yeah.    You said this guy looked after you like a machine.  Oh, he did, man.

Oh, but it’s good to have all the boys back.  Good to have all the boys.  The implication of saving Ana so many times when he was in the in a different tribe than me meant that he was being sent to Immunity Island time after time again and that brings him back with a whole lot of tricks.  Firstly, thanks for sending me to Immunity Island. I really appreciate it.

He doesn’t have a vote at the next tribal council which can count against us and can be troublesome. But also, he’s got an amazing tribal insurance, something which can definitely work in our favor, which allows him to block anyone else at that specific tribal council from casting a vote.  But I want to know like what’s been the general consensus who would ideally be the person to exit first if like  the feeling from this camp is  W.

But she’s working her magic at the moment, right? Japanese is not maybe is maybe worthwhile throwing in at the second boat if he’s trying too hard  because there is yeah Japanese is becoming a flight just for us  100% the the two for me that seem the most d4ngerous and should not be here would be Wrath whether it is Chappies Ward or Ward Chappies needs to be those two first and that’s the only place where I’m really pushing my own strategy hard at this   The sign is the key.

You know, all that I can think of is the Oendillo sign. I’m like digging there, searching like cr4zy. I just can’t find anything. I’m just waiting for everyone to get annoyed by them so that we can k1ll them.  We should just put them over there.  No,   there’s basically four people who know about my idol, which is myself, Kieran, Santin, and Ward. They’ve seen it.

They are part of my alliance members from the Zamba we just came from. And I’m very concerned about Santin because she speaks very loosely and very freely. So I don’t want there to be a point where she compromises my game by not being able to keep her mouth shut.  I know who in this camp has an idea.

I saw them get it.  Is it? Does he have nothing? Where that side? Because I dug my a.ss off that side.  Not saying anything.  It’s in the same place at the water.  Three steps north.  You call it like you and  Sony whispers in my ear. I just want to smile from ear to ear. You know, I now know that Tyson has got his second aisle.

There’s another person that has.  What?  The idol.  Oh, is it? It’ll be wider. I said Tyson.  Yeah, I’m just telling you.  So, I’ve told a few people. I’m not feeling guilty. He didn’t tell me as a secret. I was with him when he found it. Plus, I’m the reason why he found it.

And I’m the reason why he found the first one. And he’s never actually been thankful. So tough. If it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t have had it. So, I think also it’s my prerogative to tell whoever I want.  So, how many idols do you know of? I don’t know of any.  Okay. So, there’s idols in play as well.  So, on both sides,  but the the one alliance has multiple advantages.

The only advantage I know of at the moment is Smash’s advantage. Um, which allows us to steal a vote. I know Tyson has an idol as well. Um, so that’s two idols in playing. It’s just about how we play them. um cuz we are going to have to flush it. Smash, Renee,  Amy, Nicole, and Marishia will not go against each other.

It will not happen. They have got two advantages that are going to be played at the first thing,  tribal teams,  right? Which is going to turn whoever votes against him to a series of four  in terms of votes.  Yeah. So, they want to have that 65 going forward every single time.  Okay. Right.  Sean has alluded to the fact that the advantage, which I know must come from Anila, makes it so that the six Va votes are shrunken down to four.

That either means that Anila has an extra vote or he has a vote nullifier. And I’m pretty sure that’s what’s going on.  Nicole is very up for chapish, but I think V might be a bigger threat. She’s smooth. She’s I like you. Oh,  that’s good.  She doesn’t have an idol.  I don’t believe so.  If it were up to me, Ward would be the first one gone.

Um, it’s no secret that me and her don’t see eye to eye. And I just think it would be so sweet to just use that tribal insurance to take away her vote and to watch her become the first juror. My biggest worries after WA and Chappies would be Sony because she was the orchestrator of  she goes anyway just to stay in the game.  So the plan is very simple.

We’re going to vote off the original Vuna members uh and keep myself, Rene, Sean, Marishia, Nicole, and Amy strong. And once they are gone, those six, then we’ll start playing a game of six within ourselves. You know who has an idol on old Zumba?  Is there someone holding one? Oh,  who’s holding it?  Who?  Tyson.

Do you Wait, do you think he’s got this?  No, he’s got  He definitely had something here, but he played it. But he might have found it on the other side.  No, I was there. Oh, when he found it. son has chatted to me and I found out there’s an idol already and I think after voting out whoever I want to vote out it would be the next best thing to vote out the person with the idol since the first I got here my tribe did not include me I was always outsider  you were just the vote  so I’m free agent it’s more that’s good

to be that yeah but we were speaking if there’s opportunity vote out please  okay  and Okay.  Because you would like to stay in it a bit longer. I I we’ll keep I’ll keep you in the L.  I can’t stand this kind of a game where there’s like a seven or a six strong and they just want to inform everyone because we like you, we’ll give you a few extra days.

But now I just need to bite my tongue and just suck it up and try and just figure this all out. So, I’m going to touch the  Okay. It’s a big  so be careful. I love  hold it firmly. When I first saw the chickens, I told myself, Anessu, do not involve yourself with these d@mn birds. But the animal lover and me just can’t resist seeing a chicken in need.

And so I decide that it’s really best for these chickens to have the opportunity to roam around rather than staying cooped up in their coupe.  She came loose. She came loose.  Okay, go get her.  But the string breaks and two chickens get loose.  You’re not going to eat me. Oh,  another one.  Sucks.  Okay, she doesn’t know yet.

Come back.  Get her.  Marishia immediately throws me under the bus. Says that it’s my fault.  Are you playing with me?  The vegan sabotaged the trigger.  I didn’t think the string was going to break. No. While she wants me on her side for numbers, she’s happy with throwing me underneath the bus whenever she wants to.

If there’s anybody to worry about in this game, it’s those three girls. It’s Amy, Nicole, and Marishia.  So, Nicole, and Marishia.  Amy, I feel is is kind of attached to them. What will break away once they’re not as powerful?  But what she doesn’t know is that we have an idol.  No, nobody knows that. Yeah. Nobody knows.  I spoke to son Tony.

Yeah.  N Tyson has an idol.  Okay.  She was there when he found it.  Okay.  So,  but this is very important information to have.  Yeah.  How is your feeling on at the moment?  Vote her out.  Soon as possible.  I I do share that sentiment. I like her so much that I’m worried.  Yes.  I think we need to take out Marishia and Nicole first.

But that means we would need Japanese to win individual immunity  and to send me to immunity island  and then I’ll come back and then we have two  the next two votes. We need a chap gone. We need a W. We do  if you keep the girls intact.  That won’t be difficult.  I’ll make sure the three girls, three guys and anu  Yeah, definitely.

that at all costs we’re we’re promoting the seven. I’m still in possession of the Vuna idol which was found just before we left for merge. I’m going to keep hold of that for as long as I possibly can.  The old guys are coming for us. The Zumba guys are coming for us. So everyone knows I have an idol. Like everyone knows what? Now, it’s a matter of playing it the right way and making sure that I might not even have to play it for myself.

I might play it for one of us. So, it’s playing it the right way and making sure that we vote one of them off first. I am in this game to win it and I’m in this game for myself and myself alone. A move of playing an idol for an alliance member benefits me too. So, that’s the only reason I’m willing to play it for them.

Out of all those guys, the person who least expects it is Marishia.  Mhm.  She doesn’t expect she’s the  Exactly. She’s so high up that she will never see it coming.  And she’s like the alpha male of the world.  Exactly. Exactly. They’re going to need a name from us of who we voting for. And if we saying Nicole from their side, we’re only saying Nicole so that we get Marishia.

So Marishia’s name never comes out at all, but she becomes the person we vote for.  This will be the defining moment of the game. And I’m so glad you prepared to do this because I thought we were both sitting ducks.  No, trust me, we I’m also playing this game.  No, but I mean playing this game.  Anthony is an a.sset to have in our alliance because the other guys trust him more than anybody else in our alliance.

The priority is tipping the numbers in our scale, in our favor, so that we know exactly how to play my idol that I have in order to bl1ndside the other guys.  Who are they g.unning for?  Um, one of the girls. And I think the girl they g.unning for is Nicole. That’s what he told me.  Who? Thompson.  Yeah. Just now. So if you don’t want Nicole to go home,  he has to steal Chappies’s vote so that she he can’t write her name down.

I think the the first vote is pretty  pretty pretty straightforward. Look, I don’t think Tyson will play the first play for yourself first immunity.  Yeah,  there’s a lot of things that’s going to happen, but me as usual playing double A. So, I will be voting the person that they’re voting for be black and white.

It will look like I’m like, “Oh, no. Give me.” And then the next one, bl1nd side again. Next one. No. So, there’s a warship plan in the books. I’m so excited.  I think we might need to vote Tyson in. Chappies wants immunity. Everyone knows what’s going on. If he knows what is going to be the vote, he’s going to be playing the idol for her.

He’s brought a Nessu in, he’s got Kieran in, and he’s got himself. Those three are going to vote in the car. Japanese will vote in the car.  See, I can prolong the spy techniques at least for one to two more votes max.  Yeah. We can’t. You’re going to have to trust me. I  arrive at the water well and guess who comes walking along? My 007.

You know that your name should be Santi Bond.  Cuz according to them, it’s Chappies. If Chappies wins immunity, it’s you.  That’s it. And in their hierarchy, then it would be Tyson X because he has the immunity.  On another note, I just want to say the conversation I had with you around the table was real.

No, really, no intentions of emotional manipulation or wh@tever. It was really my heart speaking to your heart and you can do with it wh@tever you want.  Guys, we need to go.  Okay.  And they walk off and all of a sudden I see to my left the most perfect opportunity, a natural spy shack or a natural spy nest.

And I kind of jump within two three seconds in there. And who comes around the corner to the water well? Sony with Anela M. And I can check it from a bird’s eye view. I can’t hear that clearly, but I can hear the words that’s most important like vote nullifier, one extra vote. You know, it’s like this orchestra that’s just playing right in front of me.

I didn’t even know that up there. And I’m definitely going to make use of that spine nest again. It’s like it’s been in front of my eyes all the time and I haven’t seen it and so they will also not see it. It’s the best best gift survivor could have given me. Come on in, guys.  I have to win individual immunity today.

There’s no other choice. My heat’s on the chopping block. And secondly, I’m g.unning for seven individual immunity challenge wins.  Worst case scenario would definitely be Chappies winning today because we all want him out. And I think if we can pull this off today, it’s going to be amazing for our six alliance and it’s going to be smooth sailing hopefully from here.

Are you ready to get to your first individual immunity challenge?  Yes.  First things first. I’ll take that back. Sean,  tribal immunity is no longer. This is what you’re playing for now.  Very nice.  The individual immunity necklace. guaranteed safety from the vote at tribal council.

And if you want it, you have to win it. Here’s how it’s going to work. Each of you will take a position on a pole. The task is simple. You need to hang in there longer than the others. If you fall off, step off, or any part of your body touches the ground. You’re out of the challenge. Last person hanging wins this challenge and individual immunity.

You’ll also get to send someone to immunity island you can’t send yourself.  Everybody with me?  Yes.  Right. We’ll draw for spots. We’ll get you started.  All right, everybody. It is time to get on that pole. Make your way up.  Playing for individual immunity. surv1vors ready. We are game on right from the get go. The pain starts.

Santine already feeling it. Santine struggling from the get go. Changing her feet position. Santi is off. It’s  okay.  Sony down and out. Only a couple of minutes into this challenge. Everybody else still hanging in there. We are 5 minutes into this challenge. 5 minutes.  What? 5 minutes. Sean struggling to find a comfy spot on the pole.

It’s not supposed to be comfortable. And is down and out of this challenge. Anessu still hasn’t moved an inch.  Arushia is down and she’s out.  Amy not feeling it. Amy straight. Amy is down and out of this challenge. We are 15 minutes into this challenge. 15 minutes. Sean feeling it now. Coming down another notch. Looking for a sweet spot.

There are those sweet spots.  Sean is down and out of the challenge.  Not so bad for an old guy.  Yeah, not so bad. Still in this challenge. Nicole, Chappies, Reneer, Kieran, Ward, Anessu, and Tyson. This position is uncomfortable. I should have worn underwear.  Uh uh.  Loads of movement everywhere now.

Everyone feeling it. Chappie is changing position now. Standing upright again. Also feeling it. Seven. Castaway. Still in this to win it. Everyone’s a target. No one is safe. Reneer is down and out of this challenge.  W is down and out of this challenge. Just like that. Two people coming down within seconds of one another.

Chappy’s toe starting to bleed.  I’m going to be honest, guys. I visualize myself winning this one. Just going to tell you.  Nicole steps off the pole and she is down and out. Two hours into this challenge.  Well done, Nicole.  Well done, Nicole. They’re a machine.  Just like that, we are down to four.

Chappies, Kieran, Anessu, and Tyson. He’s  struggling.  that’s terrible. That’d be winding down.  Jeffy shifting around looking for that elusive comfort. Chappies is down and just like that he is out of this challenge.  All done chappies.  All done chappies.  Leaving it down to Kieran Anessu and Tyson to battle it out for that win.

I’m not coming off you.  I’ll come off soon. Can’t take it anymore. Tyson coming down a notch or two. Still in this.  I want to, but I don’t want to.  Anessu, how you doing?  Going through the walls.  I have a plan.  What’s your plan?  Trust me. That’s fine. But it d1es.  I’ll send you to Community Island.

Jar,  what’s up, brother?  You got it.  I got it, boy.  You sure?  Okay.  Tyson looks like he’s coming down. Tyson drops down and he is out of this challenge.  Nice.  Mad respect. Mad respect.  That is incredible, dude. 3 hours and 15 minutes.  I’m not letting go. It’s fine.  And this is standing out.

Kieran wins individual immunity.  Well done.  Thanks so much, guys. I couldn’t let you down, brother. You put a little pressure on me there.  You’re a human. Come here.  You guys can.  You’re so good. You’re honestly the best.  First off, let me just say that this is one of the toughest challenges in the history of this game.

So, well done to all of you who hung in there, especially the ones who made it past the 3 hour mark. Anessu Tyson, very well done. Respect.  Thank you, Nico.  Thank you. Of course, the win goes to Kieran. 3 and 1/2 hours and you take the win, Kieran, come and get it.  This is surreal.  Congratulations.

The first individual immunity win goes to Kieran. Kieran, well done. You now have a 1 in1 sh0t of winning this season of surv1vor. How you feeling right now?  Yeah, I have uh no words. It’s it’s it’s very much mixed emotions. I think the surv1vor fan in me is screaming on the inside.

And of course, you also get to send someone to Immunity Island. Who’s it going to be?  Um, yeah, I think it only be one person. Um, and that would be Tyson because he he actually had enough faith in me to actually jump off. So, I’d just like to repay that uh I guess faith he had in me.  All right, Tyson, that means you get to go to Community Island. Grab your stuff.

Off you go.  Cheers, guys.  Cheers, D. Enjoy. All right, Kieran, you are safe from the vote at tribal council. Everybody else is fair game. I’ll see you all later at Tribal Council where one of you will become the ninth person voted out of this game. First member of our jury and thanks to Anessa and Kieran, you don’t have much time to figure that one out.

Grab your stuff. Off you go. Well done.  This is going to be a slow walk back. I know there’s a major target on my back, but as I said previously, you know, that was my plan A to have the immunity necklace around my neck, but because of my social game, I’ve got a plan B. I just love and thrive from moments like this.

Bye, Chappie. Shine. It’s terrible. It was actually better for us that Chuckies didn’t hold on because from a strategy perspective, it just makes it easier cuz now we know all eyes are on him.  Will you untie this for me?  Anyone pour water? Supposed to be an easy vote tonight. Everyone’s voting for Chappies and if we stick to that plan, we can bl1ndside them so beautifully tonight and take control of this tribe.

So, you aiming for Spanish? What are you aiming for? Chappies?  No, for chappies. What are you talking about? Smash food for you. I just don’t want to cause more complications for travel.  No, no, no, no, no. Sweet.  Keeping it simple.  Yeah. The former Huna members are sticking together because the previous Zamba members are making them feel like they the main peanuts in the packet and they are like in charge and everyone’s just supposed to bow and thank them for being safe and yeah. So the two people that are playing

double agent at the moment is me and Anesu.  I was chatting to some she’s mentioned that she’s also working with us is that they all want to vote for the chaplain but to cover their bums.  Tyson wanted to be sent to immunity island so he could bequeath the idol to WA because they think WA might be on the chopping block with the girls.

Interesting.  But it’s not going to make a difference if we all Japanese.  We leave it on Japanese. I think  Chhattis is a three man.  He’s a magic person.  If Santony and I are not part of the bl1nd side where Marishia goes home, then we will still be seen as allies of the Zamba OGs.

If however and I do vote for Marishia, then that breaks all of the trust. And in terms of the longevity of our game with the Zamba OGs, that doesn’t spell out well for us. It is such a beauty just to discover the spy nest for me to spy on others. And you know what the beauty is? I can see through it. I can hear some key words.

And absolutely no one has got a clue that I’m there. Not even my closest alliance members. Can you believe it? How beautiful is that?  It’s going to stole the sun. Ch.  Okay. Yeah, I don’t think we need to complicate now.  I also I agree  in for voting chap.  Yeah,  I’m 100% cool with that.

Um, and I’m cool with using my vote to take away his vote.  Yes.  Okay.  If he has an idol.  Yeah.  So, that’s the thing. So, I mean,  do we put three nons on Ward?  Put three votes on Ward and everyone else votes chappies. Is everyone happy? And then you take his vote away. I’ll take his.  So we three chaps.

Let’s tell Chappies we’re voting Mara.  Yeah. The rest of us were voting chappies.  Okay.  We all have the same plan and that Chappies is on the chopping block and it’s him going home tonight. So it was just actually a consensus and it sounds terrible to say it’s the easy vote, but we’re going to stick to the plan tonight.

Okay. Well, let’s hope it’s as easy as that. I hope it’s not like we think it’s going to be. Yeah. I always worry when it feels too easy.  Yeah. Is this too good to be  It feels very easy.  I’m voting for Chappies. I’ve wanted to vote him out since day one. So, this is my first chance to do so and I’m going to take it.

It’s you, Chappies, Tyson, Ward, those four. So, all of them are going to be voting for Marisha and all of us including them will vote for Chappie. So, if he plays the idol for Chappies, then Marishia goes on. we would be in a perfect position to bl1ndside Maritishia because we could use Tyson’s hidden immunity idol not for himself as they would expect but for someone they would never see coming because he’s actually everyone’s enemy and that’s Chappies and when I send Tyson off to immunity island all I can

hope for is that he comes back and doesn’t stay there for the night  do we need to worry about the conversations that are taking place between like Anessu and Kieran Not right now.  If yes, then we are screwed.  Um, but I want him to leave now.  Okay. Yo, arriving at Immunity Island, I know for a fact that I’m here on a mission.

I’m here to a.ssist my alliance as opposed to giving into temptation.  For today’s immunity island challenge, you will have to solve a fire puzzle before the sand runs out of the timer. Right now, the Zamba OGs do want to pick one of us off being either Chappies or Wada. I feel like I have to give up and go cuz if I don’t give up and go and choose to stay and play, it ruins my relationship with the entire alliance that I have. Give up and go.

You will take the immunity island necklace with you back to the camp immediately. You will have a choice to be with it at tribal council when Niko asks you. You may choose not to be with it, but it will be useless to you.  Okay, I think I’ll do just that.  In terms of creating a resume, I know for a fact that I’m not going to play the game.

I’m going to use the idol to mess with the other guys. So, when that happens at tribal, it only looks good on me because I’m the one making the moves. I’m the one seemingly pulling the strings. So when it comes down to the wire, I’ll be the person seen as to have played a better game in the long run.  Going to eat like a pop now.  This looks amazing.

So hungry.  Yeah.  Thank you so much. This is so delicious. Thank you,  Tyson.  Hey, Tyson.  Where?  Hi, Brew.  Why are you here? I thought you’d come later.  This is very entertaining.  Very interesting that Tyson’s back from Community Island and decided to bequeath the idol.  So, are you going to be  Oh, you are. Oh, okay.

I think he’s probably going to bequeath it to Anu or possibly even WA.  I think Soui and um Anu is really with us.  I don’t know that though. I I I’m very worried. I think Ward Sani and Anu could be lying and they could be voting for me instead of Chappies.  If you feel like there could be a vote on me, would you play the idol for me or no? Because if I go, then you guys are on the on the low.

I completely agree with that.  And then they’re going to pick you guys off like we want.  Fact of the matter is if we put all our votes on one person then the idol doesn’t help anyone like  Yeah.  Then then we can play it and you’re still going to go.  Yeah.  Okay. So then I’ll be six definitely for chappies.  Yeah.  Hi.

I’m surprised Tyson came back from Immunity Island. I didn’t think he would. I thought he would keep the idol for himself so that he was safe for another vote. That’s why I’m worried that there’s a bit of a a game of foot.  You believe he’s going to play his idol. So, he’s going to play the immunity island necklace for water  and that we should  that you should take his vote.

Yeah.  So, he gets paranoid.  Okay.  And instead of playing the idol for chappies, if he’s going to play his normal idol for chappies,  he he he’s not going to  I’m sure.  I’m sure that certain.  But my biggest worry is that we get on the wrong side of the numbers.  Yeah. Now, I hear you.

But I don’t I don’t believe that will be the case tonight.  Okay.  Yeah. I mean, we have six votes, they have five.  Yeah. I know, but it’s if they play three idols and one of those idols for Chappies,  I don’t believe that that’s what will happen. Sean approached me as soon as Tyson returned from Unity Island in a worry saying that he believes uh Tyson will play his hidden idol for Chappies to try to keep the numbers of the original Vuna strong, which I don’t believe to be the case.

He becreased the mini to island one to wider and then he uses the one for Japanese.  I also had that thought.  Yeah, it was just a worry. Do you think it would really worry we get on the wrong side of the numbers after first tribal as soon as we go  the same.  Okay, well then that’s fine.  I’m so afraid of what could happen tonight at tribal council.

But I’m going to try and keep my wits about me and do what I have set out to do and that is to vote for Chappies and hope that he goes home tonight. We have an idol and Tyson has an idol. Um, and obviously tonight he has to bequeeve one as well. So, it’s definitely going to come into play, but I’m hoping we can keep our idol to a bit longer in the game when we’re less people, when we really need to save a life.

Place your torches. Take a seat. Oendle. Welcome to tribal council. Finally, one big happy family sitting around the tribal council fire with the weather coming in. How’s everyone feeling? Is it one big happy family, Marishia?  Um, yeah, we are happy. Um, we’ll see how happy we are after tonight.  And what does that equate to back at camp? Are you seeing a lot of paranoia going on, a lot of running around? I mean, we’re at tribal tonight.

Someone’s going home. What is going on at the camp as a whole? Is there a different energy today?  After today’s challenge, yes, there was a bit of a different energy. We had to make sure we have plans set in place and make sure we’re not going to lose our heads here at Tribal like I did last time.

Kieran, we’re at a really interesting part of this game where you guys have come so far that giving up and just leaving now is not really something anyone is keen to do.  It’s funny you say that. My my motto coming into Merge is that I’m here for a good time, not a long time. Um, being a fan of surv1vor, I’d I’d much rather have a good time playing a game that I respect than trying to last as long as possible.

More space in the bed.   The weather is coming in. Get warmed up.  Thank you.  So, let’s talk about the more space in the bed. Mhm.  Will it lay a lot of things bare tonight, Sean?  I I think regardless of of what people’s alliances are, everyone has one certain person in mind.

Um, which makes the first tribal a lot easier.  So, there’s one person who has no idea that they’re against the gray.  No, I’ve got the idea most probably Nica.  Okay. So, you’re of the mind that tonight you’re on the chopping block.  Yeah, without doubt. We’re experiencing the last few minutes of your life in the game right now.

Without a doubt.  What do you want those minutes to look like?  I want to go out burning, you know? I want to go out in flames and know that I’ve played my best fr3aking game. And I just want to say on that notice bell the moment I’m gone, they must probably going to focus on the next physical threat, which is anyone of Anela or Anir or Sha.

So Anella what he’s saying is quite true in the sense of if that’s what people are voting for strong players you know the other people on the chopping block can almost put themsel in line  to to say that there’s a a hit list or an order in which we you know people are thinking right now I don’t personally believe so but perhaps I I could be out the convers that type of a conversation.

I think the the consensus is a lot more people feel in order for us to have a good camp life and a fun camp life. We unfortunately have a group consensus of what needs to happen. But unfortunately there are situations that are happening to individuals that don’t allow everyone to have fun.  Chappies is that is that are you the guy who’s just stopping all the fun for the job? Cuz  it seems like Yeah, it seems like I piss on the fire and I  I I poison the food and stuff like that that I don’t even know of. But, you know, it’s

in my nature to do stuff like that. So,  well, look, I I’ll give a I’ll give an example, right? We had a Mexican feast, right? And we had a wonderful dessert, and I won’t go into what the dessert was, but we all made an agreement that no one would say what the dessert was. At Merge Feast, Chappies went ahead and told someone here what it was, and it broke that individual.

For me, that is not something we agreed to. And that’s not something that was the right thing to do because as a person who is a mother and is missing their 3 year old, that for me is not fair.  Everything you just said now was based on the a.ssumption that what I did did not mean anything positive for that person.

Oh. to so to find out that your video of your loved one is being rubbed in your face is something that is a gift. That is not a gift. That is one way to r.i.p someone’s heart out of this game. Look at that smile. That is a malicious smile. My intention was purely in that moment to after we push the reset button to kind of express some of the feelings that I’ve experienced through that reward and share it with you as well.

I just feel like even though it was well intentioned, it had the the opposite effect.  And that’s why we all had this agreement saying that we would not do it. And the first moment that he had the opportunity to do it, he did it.  Something I’m just loving. He always just puts his foot in it some way or another.

Sorry. Y  Well, Tyson, you went to immunity island. You chose to give up and go. So, you returned to your camp. That means you do not have the protection of immunity. You do have your vote, though.  You also have the option of bequething the immunity island necklace to someone else.

You want to do that?  Yes, Nico. I’d like to pa.ss the idol on to W for tonight’s vote.  You want to play that for W?  Yeah.  W.  Thank you. What? The protection of the immunity island necklace has now been transferred to you. That means no votes can be cast against your name. You are safe tonight.

Kieran, you’re wearing the individual immunity necklace tonight. That means you are protected. No votes can be cast against your name. Everybody else is fair game.  Um, in my most recent visit to Immunity Island, I was um awarded a an advantage which I must make use of tonight. Uh this is the last night I can use it. It is um tribal insurance which basically states that I have the opportunity to take someone’s vote and use it as my own  to make sure it’s legit.

We know we know some people.  Yeah.   I wasn’t too sure how I was going to do it, but because the vote seems pretty academic tonight, I suppose I’m just going to go with what makes sense right now. All right, that is indeed tribal insurance. And whose vote will you be taking?  I think I’ll be taking Chappie’s vote so that the rest of this goes pretty much according to what it already appears like it’s going to be going to.

All right, Chappies, that means you will not get to vote tonight. With that, it is time to vote.  Anella, you’re up first. Glad to be this to you. Checkpies.   I get the votes. If anyone’s in possession of a hidden

immunity idol and you would like to play it, now would be the time to do that.  Tyson, if this blows up in my face, then so be it. Everything considered, we’re still here to play a game. Comes as a surprise to a lot of people. You might want to play that for yourself,  Nico.

I would like to play this for himself, please.  All right. Well, that is indeed a hidden immunity idol. That means any votes cast for chappies will not count.  Hold on,  Reneer.   I think this is one as well.  All right. It is indeed another hidden immunity idol. Reneer, you’re choosing to play this for a call.  What are you playing for?  Yes.

All right. So that means any votes cast for Nicole will not count. I’ll read the votes. First vote. No vote. Chappies does not count. Chappies does not count. Chappies does not count. Chappies does not count. Chappies does not count. Chappies does not count. Marishia, that’s one vote. Marishia. Marishia. That’s two votes. Marishia.

Marishia. That’s three votes. Marishia. Ninth person voted out of surv1vor SA Community Island and the first member of our jury. Marishia. Marishia. Just need to bring me a torch. Marishia tribe has spoken.   Okay.  And that’s the type of person you voted out, huh?  Yeah.  Okay.

Game on.  Well, after tonight’s vote, one thing is certain. But what’s really going on in this tribe lies beneath the surface. And if this vote was a surprise to you, you’re looking in the wrong place. Grab your stuff. Off you go, you can leave the immunity island necklace on the scene. Thank you.
