?	1	"This is Survivor, Not Summer Camp"
Two boats are seen. The host, Margarida Machado, announces that this season is unique as the theme is time travel. The tribes will be Gen X versus Gen Y. On the first boat. (Desi: "My fiancée and I are huge Survivor fans, so this is a dream come true for both of us. I’ve been waiting for this moment, and now that I’m here, I’m not holding back. I’m here to play hard, make moves, and take control of this game.") (Jaden: "People underestimate baristas, but let me tell you, we hear everything. People talk about their lives, their problems, and they don’t even realize they’re giving away their secrets. I’m going to use that to my advantage out here. Blend in, listen, and strike when they least expect it.") (Josefina: "I’m a nurse, so I’m used to taking care of people, but out here, I’ve got to look out for myself. I’m not here to play it safe; I’m here to make bold moves and get to the end. I’ll keep an eye on everyone’s health, but I’m also watching for any weaknesses I can exploit.") (Ethan: "As a personal trainer, I know what it takes to push people to their limits, but I also know how to motivate myself. Out here, it’s going to be a mental and physical game, and I’m ready for both. I’m not just strong—I’m smart.") (Lilian: "Working with animals, you learn to be patient, observant, and calm under pressure. I’m going to stay under the radar, watch closely, and strike when the moment is right.") (Mateus: "I’m here to win, but I’m not going to let anyone bulldoze me. If someone comes for me, they’d better be ready for a fight.") (RJ: "I’m a firefighter; I’m used to working under pressure, making quick decisions, and being part of a team. But out here, it’s a different kind of challenge. You can’t trust everyone, and you’ve got to look out for yourself.") On the second boat. (Maria: "As a high school principal, I’m used to managing chaos and dealing with all kinds of personalities. Out here, it’s going to be the same, just with higher stakes. My job has taught me to listen, observe, and strike when the time is right. That’s exactly how I’m going to play this game.") (Marto: "Being a carpenter, I’m used to building things from the ground up. That’s exactly what I’m going to do here—build alliances, build trust, and build a path to the million dollars. But I’ve also got a wild side, and if someone crosses me, they’ll see just how quickly I can tear things down.") (Vanessa: "I’ve been in the fitness industry for years, and you might recognize me from some workout videos I did back in the late 2000s. But this isn’t my first time on TV—I was also on The Eligible: Quetana in 2012. ") (Cass: "I’ve played a lot of poker in my life, and I’ve watched every single season of Survivor. I know the game inside and out. The key is to keep a straight face, never let them see you sweat, and always be ready to bluff your way out of a tough spot.") (Jacinta: "As an attorney, I know how to argue my case, convince a jury, and win over a judge. Survivor is no different. It’s all about persuasion, negotiation, and outmaneuvering the competition.") (Lio: "I’ve served my country, and now I’m here to serve myself. In the military, you learn discipline, strategy, and how to work as a team. But you also learn when to go solo and take out the target. That’s my plan for this game—stay focused, stay disciplined, and take out the competition one by one.")
Reward Challenge: In each crate is food and also a gold or silver trinket. Silver is worth one point and gold is worth two. Whichever tribe has the most points keeps their crates. The Gen X tribe, Lovap, wins!
On Lovap: (Vanessa: "I didn’t come here to play it safe. This is Survivor, not summer camp. I’m already thinking about how to make the big moves that are going to get me to the end.") Sandra Lorigo shares that she’s a new grandmother, mentioning that she applied for the show when her daughter was pregnant, hoping to win the money for her family. Cass Ferralho, however, keeps her true occupation as a poker player hidden. Instead, she tells everyone she’s an interior designer. Jacinta Bastos openly shares her career as a defense attorney, explaining her fascination with the law and how it drove her to her current profession. talks about his 25-year military career, proudly revealing that he retired as a Chief Warrant Officer.
On Morevo: Ethan Tareco and Mateus Pereira quickly bond over shared interests, becoming fast friends. They then make an alliance with them, Josefina and RJ. Jaden and Josefina bond as well and start becoming close. Nadia, Reinaldo and RJ form an alliance.
On Lovap: Dawson Farromba opens up to the tribe about his second marriage. Maria and Vanessa bond and decide to make a Final 2 alliance. It is also shown that Dawson’s strong opinions and slight abrasiveness have rubbed some the wrong way while some don't trust K due to him being quiet. (K: "I’m a quieter guy, always have been. I observe more than I talk, and that’s how I plan to play this game. Let the others make noise, let them show their cards early.")
On Morevo: Privately, Ethan and Mateus talk trash about their tribe mates and make personal comments about Desi and RJ. There is a small montage of Ethan and Mateus being rude to Desi, causing Lilian to speak up. Ethan, taken aback, dismisses her.
Immunity Challenge: The tribes face off in a prehistoric-themed Immunity Challenge. In a twist, one member from each tribe will win individual Immunity. Cass and Mateus win!
First Tribal Council (Lovap): K gets the majority of votes and has to leave.
Second Tribal Council (Morevo): Ethan gets the majority of votes and has to leave.
Aftermath: Margarida Machado brings both tribes together, reveals that "time will reverse", K and Ethan will just have to switch tribes, and they will be playing as if it was Day 1 again. This time, with two new tribe mates. From Season 1 is Almir. From Season 4 is Marisa.
?	2	"I’ve Got Something To Prove"
On Lovap: Almir is thrilled to be back after his unfortunate injury in Season 1. (Almir: "Coming back to this game, I’ve got something to prove. Last time, I was the first one out, and that hurt. This time, I won't injure myself.") He forms a close bond with Sandra Lorigo and Jacinta Bastos. A larger alliance of five begins to take shape, consisting of Almir, Cass Ferralho, Vanessa Claudino, Lio Mortagua, and Marto Martinez. Meanwhile, Ethan, who is sitting alone in the shelter, is angry over getting votes.
On Morevo: Marisa, equally excited to be back after her medical evacuation in Season 4, dives into the social game with enthusiasm. She is constantly engaging with her tribemates, making genuine connections, especially with Josefina Matos and Lilian Costa. (Marisa: "Survivor has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. Being here now, it's surreal. I’m younger than most of these people, but I know how to connect with others. I’ll be friendly, I’ll be helpful, and I’ll make sure that when my name comes up, no one wants to write it down.") Marisa quickly becomes part of a five-person alliance with RJ Jovino, Josefina Matos, Lilian Costa, and Jaden Rocha. Jaden Rocha, Desideria "Desi" Brenha, Reinaldo Valezim, Kevin "K" Trino, and Nadia Oliveira form a separate alliance. RJ stands out as a social butterfly with him joking around with other tribemates. Mateus is, notably, negative, blaming his tribe for "unfairly" voting his best friend out of the tribe. He talks to Lilian and blames her for why Ethan was "unfairly" voted for. Lilian has no patience for him.
On Lovap: Marto, playing under the radar, is observant and quietly picks up on the emerging alliances within the tribe. He recognizes the power dynamics but decides to keep his insights to himself. Ethan, furious about being swapped and narrowly avoiding elimination, harbors intense resentment toward his old tribe. His anger boils over during a confrontation with Lio, where he accuses Lio of being a "washed-up military grunt" trying to control the tribe. The argument escalates, and Ethan shockingly hits Lio. The tribe is stunned as the situation unfolds. The producers step in immediately, and Ethan is ejected from the game for his violent behavior. The tribe is left in disarray, with Lio shaken but determined to move forward.
On Morevo: K begins to play strategically by observing the power players in his tribe. He quietly gathers information and starts subtly planting seeds of doubt about certain players, particularly about Jaden and Reinaldo. Desi makes an alliance with Jaden and Reinaldo. Later, Jaden and Desi look for an idol. Jaden then finds it and tells Nadia, K and Reinaldo that Desi found it but may not own up to it.
Immunity Challenge: Lovap wins the challenge after a fierce battle, thanks to Almir’s leadership and Lio’s strength.
On Morevo: The mood is somber as the Morevo tribe prepares for Tribal Council. Mateus Pereira’s negative attitude has been wearing on the tribe, with many members fed up with his constant complaints and pessimism. However, Jaden doesn't think the vote will be that easy and talks to Nadia, K and Reinaldo about sending votes her way. Later, Reinaldo talks to Jaden that he is making him uncomfortable, which makes Jaden a bit paranoid about being voted out.
Tribal Council (Morevo): Jaden uses his idol, shocking the tribe. Mateus is voted out.
?	3	"Nothing’s Set In Stone"
On Lovap: Cass Ferralho’s lie about being an interior designer begins to crack as her behavior around camp raises suspicions. Vanessa Claudino, who has been closely observing Cass, starts to suspect that Cass isn’t being entirely truthful about her occupation. (Vanessa: "There’s something about her that doesn’t add up, like she’s holding back or playing a role. I’ve been on TV before—I know when someone’s putting on a show. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s lying about what she really does for a living.") Vanessa subtly brings up her doubts with Lio Mortagua, planting seeds of distrust within the tribe. The initial alliance of five (Almir, Cass, Vanessa, Lio, Marto) begins to show signs of strain. With Marto playing under the radar, Vanessa and Lio start to consider whether Cass’s dishonesty might make her a liability. They begin to question her loyalty. Vanessa, Lio, Sandra, and Marto quietly form a new alliance, seeing Cass’s potential untrustworthiness as a reason to pivot.
On Morevo: Marisa continues to be a social powerhouse, forming tight bonds with her tribemates. Desi begins to see Jaden as a massive threat and voices this to Nadia, who admits that Jaden wanted her out and lied about her having the idol. Desi suggests an idea of forming a counter-alliance, suggesting they pull in K and Marisa. Jaden and Reinaldo have a private conversation about tightening their alliance, although Reinaldo thinks that K and Nadia may feel betrayed. He says that he is willing to still work with Jaden as long as nobody tells Desi about what he was tyring to do. They consider bringing in Josefina to solidify their numbers, but they’re unsure if she’s fully on board. They agree to keep an eye on Desi.
Reward Challenge: Lovap wins!
On Morevo: K, who has been quietly observing the tribe’s dynamics, decides it’s time to start playing more aggressively. He approaches RJ with a proposal to target Jaden, whom he sees as a significant threat. Josefina, caught between her existing alliance with Jaden and Reinaldo and her growing bond with Marisa and Lilian, finds herself in a precarious position. She’s approached by both sides, each trying to gauge her loyalty.
On Lovap: Cass begins to feel the pressure as she senses that her tribe may be turning against her. (Cass: "I’m starting to feel like I might be on the outs, and that’s not where I want to be at all. It’s like there’s this invisible line, and I’m on the wrong side of it. I’ve waited too long to play this game, and I’m not about to let it slip away. This is Survivor—nothing’s set in stone.") She confronts Vanessa, asking if there’s anything she should know. Vanessa, playing it cool, reassures Cass that everything is fine, but Cass isn’t convinced. Paranoia sets in, and Cass considers making a bold move to save herself. Sandra, meanwhile, senses an opportunity to shift the target off herself and onto Cass. She quietly suggests to Almir that Cass might be the right person to vote out, arguing that her instability could be dangerous for the tribe’s cohesion. Almir listens but doesn’t fully commit, knowing that Cass could still be valuable as a shield later on.
Immunity Challenge: Lovap wins!
On Morevo: Desi presses Nadia to make a decision, arguing that they need to act now before Jaden and Reinaldo solidify their control. aden, however, starts to sense that something isn’t right. He notices that Desi and Nadia have been spending more time together and suspects they might be plotting against him. Jaden decides to confront Reinaldo about it, which confuses and angers Reinaldo.
Tribal Council (Morevo): Jaden is voted out.
?	4	"This Is A Game Changer"
On Lovap: In the morning, Cass and Vanessa are in the water. (Vanessa: "I had my doubts about Cass at first—I wasn’t sure if she was being completely honest. But after spending more time with her, I’ve come to realize that I trust her the most out of everyone in the tribe. I feel like we’re on the same wavelength.") Marto talks about his marriage to his childhood sweetheart, whom he married at 22. He mentions that their oldest child is now 18, which makes him more determined to win for his family. Meanwhile, Lio reflects on his life after retiring from the military and adjusting to civilian life, sharing how he is still driven by the same discipline and focus that guided him in the army.
On Morevo: RJ opens up about his marriage, saying he’s been married to his wife for four years, and they have a two-year-old son together. Lilian also shares why she chose to become a veterinary technician, citing her lifelong love for animals and a desire to help those who can’t help themselves. Later, RJ is relaxing on the beach. (RJ: "I knew Survivor was going to be tough, but I wasn’t expecting it to be this intense. I have no idea who to trust. Maybe Desi and Lilian, but even that might change. K’s been really quiet, which makes me suspicious. I don’t think anyone trusts him much either. Reinaldo ... I’m not too sure about him.")
On Lovap: Jacinta quietly combs through the jungle, determined to find the idol. After some time, she finally discovers it hidden in a hollow tree. She decides to keep this discovery a secret
Reward Challenge: Lovap wins a feast of comfort food, including fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and fresh fruit.
On Morevo: Desi stumbles upon a hidden Time Capsule while collecting firewood. Inside, she finds an old map and a cryptic note, which suggests that the map will lead her to something called the "Time Sphere." Realizing the importance of this discovery, Desi decides to keep the information to herself, planning to search for the Time Sphere when the timing is right. (Desi: "Oh my God, I just found the Time Capsule! As a superfan, this is like a dream come true! I mean, this is what you watch for, what you hope for when you’re out here. And now, it’s in my hands. I’m freaking out, but I know I have to keep it together and keep it a secret. This is a game changer, for sure.") Marisa, Desi, and Reinaldo form a tight trio, realizing that they need each other to navigate the coming votes.
On Lovap: Vanessa approaches Cass, suggesting they form a new alliance with Jacinta. Cass is on board but worries about Jacinta's loyalty. They approach Jacinta and then talk to Dawson about joining the alliance. Jacinta, having found the hidden immunity idol earlier, feels more confident and isn't fully committed to this alliance. Marto, Lio, and Sandra quietly form a trio.
Immunity Challenge: Morevo wins!
On Lovap: Vanessa and Cass target Jacinta, suspecting her of being too strategic. Meanwhile, Marto, feeling uneasy about his position, tries to flip the vote onto Vanessa, seeing her as the bigger threat.
Tribal Council (Morevo): Vanessa is voted out.
?	5	"Making My Mark and Shaking Things Up"
On Morevo: RJ reaches out to Josefina, Desi, and Marisa, emphasizing the importance of unity and the potential for making big moves. He tries to gauge where loyalties lie. He also says that Reinaldo needs to go as soon as possible. Desi talks with Marisa and proposes going after somebody like Nadia or K as both are wildcards. Marisa says that K doesn't talk much and it feels like he is just observing everybody so she agrees. K is alone in the shelter. (K: "This whole experience has been absolutely surreal. I’ve watched about five seasons of Survivor with my teenage sons, who are the ones who really got me into the show. They’ve always been huge fans, and now here I am, living out what we’ve watched together on TV. It’s a wild feeling. I’m trying to make the most of every moment.") Desi approaches Reinaldo and suggests that it may be a good time for K to go as nobody trusts him and he seems to keep to himself a lot. Reinaldo agrees and says that he doesn't trust K at all.
On Lovap: Marto is seated on a log near the campfire, quietly listening to Almir, Cass, and Sandra discussing their thoughts on possible targets. Marto is seen engaging in a strategic conversation with Lio and Dawson. Marto is shown chatting with Sandra and Lio by the campfire. He shares his thoughts on the tribe’s current state.
Reward Challenge: Lovap wins.
On Morevo: Lilian is seen gathering K, Marisa, and Reinaldo around the campfire. She suggests that the current power balance is not working in their favor and proposes a plan to shake things up. Her ideas include targeting players who are causing friction within the tribe. (Lilian: "Today has been all about making my mark and shaking things up. It’s crucial to keep things moving and not get stuck in old patterns, or else you risk being sidelined or seen as an outsider.") Nadia suggests that the tribe throw an upcoming challenge to eliminate a target. This proposal raises concerns among tribe members.
Immunity Challenge: Lovap wins!
Tribal Council (Morevo): Nadia is voted out.
