?	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.
?	6	"TBA"
On Lovap: Lio Mortagua and Sandra Lorigo share a quiet moment by the campfire. They discuss how they both have been playing under the radar but acknowledge that they'll need to make bold moves soon. They agree to a Final 2 deal, vowing to watch each other's backs and ensure they reach the end together. Sandra, though wary, knows she needs a strong ally to navigate the rest of the game. Cass Farralho has been closely observing the dynamics within her tribe. She approaches Marto Martinez and lays out everything she's noticed: the Final 2 deal between Lio and Sandra, the friendships that seem to be forming, and the players who are just coasting by. Cass suggests that they keep a close eye on these alliances, proposing they work together to shake things up before it’s too late. Marto listens intently.
On Morevo: RJ Jovino, Desi Brenha, and Josefina Matos huddle together in the jungle. They discuss the need for a tight alliance to carry them to the merge and beyond. They form a solid trio, agreeing to keep each other informed and vote as a block moving forward. RJ feels confident about this alliance, believing it gives him the security he needs in the game.
On Lovap: A heated argument happens between Dawson and Lio.
Reward Challenge: Morevo wins.
On Morevo: An argument breaks out between K and Lilian. Later, Lilian is determined to shake up the dynamics in Morevo. She approaches Josefina, Desi and RJ with a plan to target one of the stronger competitors in the tribe, believing that weakening them now will give her more power later on. However, Josefina is hesitant, sensing that Lilian might be too unpredictable to trust fully. RJ remains non-committal, weighing his options.
Immunity Challenge: Morevo wins.
On Lovap: Cass and Marto discuss the possibility of targeting Lio or Sandra. Sandra and Lio talk with Sandra discussing going after Jacinta who may be a challenge threat at the merge. Lio privately approaches Jacinta and offers her a deal, knowing that if he can bring her to his side, it would solidify his and Sandra’s position. Jacinta, however, is wary and doesn’t fully commit, sketching Lio out. Cass soon finds out that her name is being brought up and tries to sway people to go after Jacinta, something Sandra is already on board with.
Tribal Council (Lovap): Jacinta is voted out.
?	7	"TBA"
The episode kicks off with a dramatic twist announced by the host: "Time will reverse once more." The tribes are informed that one previously eliminated contestant will have a chance to re-enter the game. The excitement and tension rise as the players realize this could significantly shift the dynamics. Mateus, Jaden, Vanessa, Nadia, and Jacinta are brought back for a special Redemption Challenge. They compete in a grueling endurance test that pushes their physical and mental limits. In a nail-biting finish, Jacinta wins her way back into the game, reclaiming her spot with determination.
On Lovap: Back at camp, Jacinta is welcomed with mixed emotions. While some are genuinely happy to see her back, others, like Cass, quickly recognize the threat she poses, especially considering their rocky history. Cass and Jacinta have a private conversation where Cass tries to mend fences. She lies, telling Jacinta that her vote against her was due to pressure from Marto and Almir, shifting the blame away from herself. Jacinta listens, but it's clear she's cautious, unsure whether to trust Cass fully.
Tribe Swap! New Lovap: Cass, Sandra, Jacinta, Lio, Marisa, Desi, RJ New Morevo: Dawson, Maria, Josefina, Lilian, K, Almir, Marto, Reinaldo
Reward Challenge: Morevo wins!
On Lovap: Desi and RJ quickly solidify their bond, recognizing that they need to stay strong together. Lio and Sandra see Cass as someone they can work with, but they're wary of Jacinta, who has returned with a potential vendetta. Jacinta plays it cool but is quietly strategizing how to regain control of her game. Desi takes advantage of the new tribe dynamics by strengthening her alliance with RJ and Cass, subtly positioning herself as a key player without appearing too threatening. She also keeps the Time Sphere hidden.
On Morevo: Lilian on Morevo sees the tribe swap as an opportunity to shake up the game. She approaches Josefina and K separately, proposing different plans to target Dawson. However, Josefina is skeptical of Lilian’s motives, while K is reluctant to trust her after their previous argument.
Immunity Challenge: Lovap wins!
On Morevo: Lilian pushes hard for Dawson to be the target, arguing that he hasn’t contributed much to the tribe and is an easy vote. Marto and Almir agree but are cautious of Lilian’s influence. Dawson senses the danger and tries to rally Josefina and K to his side, suggesting that Lilian is the bigger threat and should be taken out before she gains more power. Josefina is torn, knowing Lilian is untrustworthy but also seeing Dawson as a weak link. K remains conflicted, weighing his options carefully.

Tribe Swap! New Lovap: Almir, Desi, RJ, Jacinta, Sandra, Marisa, Josefina New Morevo: Cass, Marto, K, Lio, Reinaldo, Lilian, Maria
Reward Challenge: Lovap wins!
On Morevo: Lio Mortagua finds the hidden immunity idol after searching around camp.
On Lovap: Almir reflects on his journey in the game, remembering how he was the first one voted out in Season 1. Now, having made it to the Final 14, he's determined to go even further. Marisa shares her background as the oldest of four daughters and the only one in her family to watch Survivor. She talks about how being on the show is a dream come true. Desi talks about her and her fiancée, Cintia Fontoura, being huge fans of reality TV, especially Survivor. In a confessional, Desi shares how they used to watch episodes together, analyze strategies, and even practice challenges. She's driven to win not just for herself, but for both of them. RJ talks about his family's tradition of firefighting, mentioning how his father and grandfather were both firefighters. Though he followed in their footsteps, he expresses his genuine passion for the job, believing he would have chosen it even without the family legacy.
Immunity Challenge: Lovap wins!
On Morevo: Maria Torres perceives Desi as a massive threat due to her strategic gameplay and physical prowess. Maria starts campaigning to get Desi out, seeing her as too dangerous to keep around. Jacinta overhears Maria’s plans and informs Desi, who then becomes determined to take Maria out before Maria can strike against her. Sandra, sensing the tension, approaches Maria. They discuss targeting RJ, seeing him as a strong social player who could go far in the game. Desi uses the fact that some tribe members find Maria unpredictable and hard to trust to her advantage. She begins subtly rallying the votes against Maria, emphasizing how Maria's quiet nature could make her a wildcard.
Tribal Council (Lovap): Maria is voted out.
?	9	"TBA"
On Lovap: Feeling like she's been too passive so far, Josefina decides it's time to make bigger moves. She starts aggressively forming new alliances and targeting perceived threats within her tribe. She approaches RJ and Desi, suggesting they form a secret three-person alliance and plan to blindside a major player. She also spreads misinformation to sow distrust among other tribe members, making her presence felt much more this round. Almir also takes time to support Lilian, who is feeling homesick and questioning her place in the game. Almir reassures her, encouraging her to stay strong and focus on the game, reminding her that they are all feeling the pressure.
On Morevo: Cass is embracing chaos, deliberately stirring the pot to keep everyone on edge. She flip-flops on alliances, giving conflicting information to different people to keep the tribe in disarray. She tries to manipulate conversations to pit players against each other and makes unpredictable moves in challenges, contributing to an atmosphere of instability. Reinaldo is playing a subtle but effective strategic game. He is positioning himself as a key swing vote, aligning with different groups while maintaining a low profile. He works behind the scenes to influence votes without drawing attention to himself. Reinaldo also identifies who has the strongest connections and attempts to weaken them by subtly sowing seeds of doubt about their loyalty. Lio continues to play strategically, using his hidden immunity idol as a safety net while working to keep his options open. He forms a loose alliance with Reinaldo, thinking ahead about the potential endgame. Marto is balancing a strategic game with chaotic moves. On the strategic side, he works to solidify an alliance with Cass and Lio, discussing potential targets and endgame scenarios. On the chaotic side, he throws out wild suggestions during group discussions and deliberately confuses others about his true intentions. He also hints at having an idol to make others wary of targeting him, even though he doesn't have one, making him a difficult player to pin down. Jacinta, back in the game after her earlier elimination, is playing with reckless abandon. She creates confusion by spreading rumours, such as claiming that multiple people have idols or that a big alliance is forming when it isn’t. She changes her mind constantly about who she wants to align with and who she wants to target, making it difficult for others to predict her next move. Her chaotic behavior leaves her tribe unsure of how to deal with her, adding to the tension.
Immunity Challenge: Morevo wins!
On Lovap: The Lovap tribe is in a state of flux, with Josefina pushing hard for a big move. Josefina's aggressive push for a blindside makes her a target for those wary of her new assertiveness.
Tribal Council (Gravenna): Josefina is voted out.
?	10	"TBA"
Desi continues to play a strong strategic and social game. She spends time reconnecting with old allies and solidifying new ones. Desi is careful to maintain her relationships with Cass, RJ, and Marto while reaching out to others, like Lio and Reinaldo, to broaden her network. She uses her charm and social skills to gather information, identify threats, and stay on top of the evolving dynamics. Desi is seen as a central figure in the merged tribe, someone everyone feels comfortable talking to, but she’s careful not to appear too dominant, keeping her strategic moves subtle. Cass thrives in the chaos of the merge. She continues to flip-flop between alliances, giving everyone just enough information to keep them guessing but never committing to anyone fully. She spreads rumors about who has idols, who is targeting whom, and even fabricates entire conversations to stir the pot. Cass's unpredictability makes her both a valuable ally (because no one knows where she truly stands) and a dangerous wildcard. She’s constantly playing both sides against the middle, making it impossible to know where her true loyalties lie. Reinaldo fully embraces his role as a villain in the game. He decides to play an aggressive, cutthroat game, working alongside Jacinta to create chaos. He strategically sows discord by lying to players about what others have said or done. For example, he tells Marto that Desi is plotting against him, and then tells Desi that Marto is planning a blindside. Reinaldo relishes in manipulating the tribe, seeing the chaos as his path to victory. He’s determined to eliminate the biggest threats while positioning himself as the master manipulator, gaining a reputation as a cunning strategist. K tries to step up his strategic game, but nothing seems to go right. He attempts to form a core alliance with Lio and Marto, but his plans are constantly thwarted. His suggestions for targets are dismissed or backfire, leading to increased suspicion of him. For instance, K suggests targeting a strong player like Jacinta, but she catches wind of it and turns the tables, making K look like a fool. His attempts at strategy only serve to isolate him further, making him an easy target for the more experienced players. Lio continues to play a methodical and calculated game. He analyzes the tribe's dynamics and decides to work closely with Reinaldo, seeing him as a powerful, albeit volatile, ally. Lio also strengthens his bond with Desi, recognizing her influence in the game. He keeps his idol a secret, knowing it could be a game-changer later on. Lio’s strategy involves letting the more chaotic players (like Jacinta and Cass) create turmoil while he quietly maneuvers behind the scenes, setting himself up as a calm, reliable presence in a sea of chaos. Marto walks the fine line between strategy and chaos. He aligns with Cass and Reinaldo, creating a chaotic trio that keeps everyone on edge. Marto plays both sides, telling one group he’s with them while feeding information to the other. He encourages mistrust and paranoia, making himself appear indispensable to both sides. However, his chaotic moves sometimes backfire, leaving him scrambling to recover. Marto's unpredictability keeps him in the game, but it also makes him a potential target as others start to worry about his true intentions. Jacinta fully leans into her role as a villain, betraying anyone who stands in her way. She lies, cheats, and manipulates to advance her position. Jacinta convinces several players that they’re her closest ally, only to turn around and plot their downfall. She teams up with Reinaldo, feeding into the chaos he creates, but she’s always looking out for herself first. Jacinta betrays Lilian, who thought they were aligned, by spreading lies about her to other players, ultimately isolating Lilian and painting her as untrustworthy. Jacinta’s chaos is ruthless, and her willingness to betray anyone makes her a dangerous player. Lilian is increasingly seen as a wildcard. She’s been quieter since the merge, but her unpredictability makes others nervous. Her emotional volatility, combined with her outsider status after Jacinta’s betrayal, makes her a potential swing vote or a loose cannon. Some players consider bringing her into their alliance as a number, but others see her as too unstable to trust.
Reward Challenge: The tribe competes in a physically demanding Reward Challenge. Desi, RJ, Marto, Reinaldo, and Lio win.
Immunity Challenge: Jacinta and Desi win!
Cass and Marto stir up the tribe by proposing multiple targets, spreading false information, and encouraging mistrust. They suggest eliminating Lilian, K, and even Lio, depending on whom they’re talking to. Their chaotic behavior creates a confusing atmosphere, making it hard for any one plan to gain traction. Reinaldo and Jacinta target Lilian as a potential swing vote, promising her safety if she votes with them. However, they secretly plan to vote her out, viewing her as too unpredictable and a potential liability. They spread rumors that Lilian is planning a blindside against Desi, hoping to turn the tribe against her. K, realizing he’s on the outs, tries to rally votes against Jacinta, but his efforts are largely ignored. His attempts to strategize are met with skepticism, and he becomes increasingly desperate as the vote approaches. K’s strategic misfires leave him vulnerable, but he’s determined to fight until the end. Marto, playing both sides, tells Lilian that Jacinta is after her, hoping to stir up conflict and distract the tribe from targeting him or his allies. He also tells Jacinta that Lilian is considering flipping on their alliance, further fueling the chaos. Marto’s double-dealing keeps him in the mix, but it also paints a target on his back for those who are catching on to his games.
Tribal Council: Lilian is voted out and becomes the first member of the jury.
The Next Day: The day after Lilian’s departure, the sun rises on the campsite. The castaways are still processing the previous night's Tribal Council when the host, Margarida Machado, arrives unexpectedly. Almir and RJ find a quiet spot to talk. They both agree that the chaos being caused by certain players is becoming too much. Desi and Marisa sit together near the water, discussing their growing mistrust of K and Reinaldo. Marto and Jacinta huddle together, expressing their own suspicions about several tribe members. K, sensing the tension and danger, goes searching for the merge idol. After a tense search, he finds it hidden near the base of a tree.
Immunity Challenge: Jacinta and Maria win!
K approaches Lio with a bold plan to target Sandra or Marto.
Tribal Council: K is voted out and becomes the second member of the jury.

Notes: The only ones with an idol are Jacinta and Lio.
The episode begins with a montage of Lio Mortagua being particularly friendly and approachable with several tribe members, including RJ, Marto, Sandra, Marisa, and Almir. He is seen making jokes, helping with camp chores, and generally keeping the atmosphere light. (Almir: Lio is a guy everyone feels comfortable with. He’s charming and makes you feel at ease, which is why he’s such a huge threat in this game.) Marto comes up with the idea of targeting Jacinta Bastos, particularly if she doesn’t win immunity. He sees Jacinta as a wildcard and potentially too chaotic to keep around as the game progresses. Marto discusses this plan with Lio and Reinaldo, trying to gauge their support. Desi Brenha, seeing Lio and Sandra as major threats, discusses a strategy with RJ, Marisa and Almir. She feels they might not be able to gather enough votes to directly target Lio or Sandra but is determined to make a big move. Desi tells them she has a “crazy plan” that might work and asks him to trust her judgment. Cass and Reinaldo are worried about Marto’s plan to target Jacinta. They feel this could be detrimental to their own games as Jacinta has been a helpful shield for them. They decide to inform Jacinta of Marto's intentions, hoping she can counteract his strategy. Lio and Sandra, after discussing their strategy, consider targeting Reinaldo.

Almir's Son, Tristao Barboza Cass’ Mom, Luisa Paiva Desi’s Fiancée, Cintia Fontoura Jacinta’s Mother, Alexandrina Bastos Lio’s Wife, Melissa Mortagua Marisa’s Father, Cristiano Medina Marto’s Wife, Cecilia Martinez Reinaldo’s Twin Brother, Lisandro Valezim RJ’s Dad, Antao Jovino Sandra’s Husband, Alonso Forigo Two players win immunity and the reward of a two-hour spa session with their loved ones. Sandra and Marto win!
Cass and Reinaldo publicly call out Jacinta, Sandra, and Marisa, accusing them of targeting Almir. This causes a stir in camp, and tensions run high. Cass later tries to save herself by speaking to Marisa and throwing Reinaldo under the bus, suggesting he is untrustworthy.
Tribal Council (Gravenna): Jacinta uses her idol and then Desi uses the Time Sphere, which causes a revote but only between those who voted for Desi. Almir, Marisa and RJ were the ones outed for voting for Desi. Lio is voted out.
?	12	"TBA"
RJ is panicking a bit over everybody knowing that he was one of the votes for Lio. RJ Jovino apologizing to the tribe for his role in voting out Lio. He explains that Lio would have been a major threat in the end and could have easily won the game. RJ’s apology is sincere. The next morning, RJ talks with Sandra Forigo, apologizing once again for the vote against Lio. Sandra reassures him, saying, "Life is too short for petty grudges. It’s a game, and I’m glad you did something to help your own game." (RJ: I knew it would shake things up, but I didn't realize how much it would put me, Marisa, and Almir right in the hot seat. Now, everyone knows we were behind Lio's departure, and that's not a good place to be. So now, it’s all about damage control. I’ve got to make sure people know I’m still with them, that I can be trusted moving forward. I need to smooth things over.") Later, alone, Sandra talks to herself. (Sandra: Lio trusted me enough to give me his idol, thinking I’d be the one going home. I need to honour that trust by playing smart from here on out.") Desi Brenha talks to herself, admitting that her move with the Time Sphere was incredibly risky. She knows she has to lay low now to avoid becoming a target. She meets with Marisa Medina, and the two solidify a Final 2 alliance. Sandra approaches Almir Barboza about the vote to send Lio home. Almir explains that he voted for Lio because Lio was getting along with everyone, and he wasn’t sure if Lio’s alliance with him was genuine. Sandra listens and responds, “I understand, Almir. You had to do what was best for your game. I don’t blame you.” (Sandra: "With Lio gone, I need a new game plan. I can't be mad at anyone for making moves that help their game. Now, I need to focus on building new alliances.") Marto Martinez finds the new merge idol hidden at camp. He quickly hides it, knowing that this could be a game-changer for him moving forward.
Reward Challenge: Sandra, Marisa and Reinaldo win, earning a luxurious picnic on a scenic hilltop, complete with gourmet food and letters from home.
(Marto: "I’ve done a lot to situate myself in this game. Right now, the biggest threats are Jacinta, Reinaldo, and Cass. They need to go as soon as possible if I want a shot at the end.") Marto talks to Jacinta Bastos about targeting Cass Farralho and Reinaldo, pointing out that they’re too unpredictable. Jacinta agrees, suggesting they target whoever doesn’t win immunity first and then go after the other. Marto is on board with this plan. Marisa approaches Sandra, expressing her desire to work together despite the vote against Lio. She explains that out of the two, she trusted Sandra more and wasn’t sure where Lio’s head was at. Sandra is open to the alliance, understanding the need for strong partners moving forward. Marisa then talks with Almir about heading to the end together. She reminds him that both of them were removed from previous seasons due to injuries, making them unique in the game. Almir agrees, saying he was thinking the same thing and that it could be a strong narrative to present to the jury.
Immunity Challenge: Almir and RJ win!
RJ and Almir celebrate being immune, especially after the fallout from Lio's elimination. Marto brings up to Sandra how Jacinta, Cass and Reinaldo need to go and all are vulnerable this round. Sandra says that the reward showed her a better side to Reinaldo. Marto tells Desi that allowing Jacinta, Cass and Reinaldo to go farther is as stupid as anybody who wanted Gabriela further last season. He says that the votes for Reinaldo may not be there so it is down to Jacinta and Cass if she wants to do that. Desi says that she is in. Marto and Jacinta are sitting down in the water. He says that people are looking to Cass and Reinaldo as the ones they want gone. Jacinta says that she is relieved.
Tribal Council (Gravenna): Jacinta is blindsided and sent to the jury by a vote of 6-2-1.
?	13	"TBA"
The episode kicks off with the aftermath of Jacinta’s blindside from the previous Tribal Council. Emotions are high, and tension is palpable. The tribe is divided, with multiple conversations and alliances forming in the shadows. Marto is particularly cautious, aware that his previous maneuvering could have made him a target. He begins subtly reaching out to Cass and Reinaldo. Desi aims to continue playing a strategic but low-profile game. She knows she can’t afford to make any more bold moves right now, so she listens carefully to others’ plans without committing fully. (Desi: "It’s all about being in the right place at the right time. Right now, my goal is to lay low and keep everyone guessing.") Marisa finds herself in a tricky spot. She has connections with both Desi, Sandra, RJ and Almir, but she’s wary of being seen as a flip-flopper. Marisa’s plan is to push for a unanimous vote against a perceived weak player to avoid chaos, focussing on former ally, RJ. RJ trying to reassure Sandra and Almir that he’s not a threat. He’s also trying to build trust with Desi, who he views as a strategic force. He even approaches Marto, trying to gauge where his head is at.
Reward Challenge: Desi wins the Reward Challenge and, strategically thinking about the social bonds, chooses to bring Sandra and RJ along.
Marto approaches Almir and pitches a plan to target Sandra, arguing that she is a strong social player and could easily sway votes at the end. (Marto: "Right now, I need to make sure my name isn’t on the chopping block. I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve, but timing is everything.")
Immunity Challenge: It is announced that this will be the last Immunity Challenge to have two winners. Cass and Reinaldo secure their safety by winning Immunity. The challenge is intense, and with the stakes so high, everyone pushes themselves to their limits. Cass is visibly relieved, knowing she won’t be vulnerable this round, and Reinaldo is equally pleased, planning to use his win to further solidify his position.
Back at camp, the scramble intensifies. With Cass and Reinaldo safe, the focus shifts to Marto, Marisa, and RJ. Marto is feeling the pressure and discreetly hints to a few select players that he has an idol, hoping this will deter them from targeting him. Marisa and Sandra are seen having a heated discussion. RJ continues his damage control tour, trying to assure everyone that he’s not the enemy. He pulls Almir aside and expresses his concern about Sandra’s social game, suggesting they might need to take her out sooner rather than later. Almir nods but remains non-committal.
Tribal Council (Gravenna): Marto plays his idol. Marisa is sent to the jury.
?	14	"TBA"
Desi is in shock over Marisa's departure, having lost her closest ally in the game. Sandra is equally surprised to find herself in the Final 7, reflecting on how unexpected this moment is for her. (Sandra: "I can't believe I'm still here. I'm doing this for my daughter, Rosie. Everything I do out here is for her. I want to show her that no matter what life throws at you, you keep pushing forward. This one's for you, Rosie. Mama's gonna fight for this win!") Sandra and Almir discuss the previous Tribal Council. Sandra, still puzzled, says, "The four votes don’t make sense to me. Why would they split the vote like that?" Almir, hiding his involvement, responds confidently, "I'm pretty sure either Cass or Reinaldo decided to be chaotic and threw in a vote against you. They're unpredictable like that." (Almir: "I can't let anyone know that I was one of those votes. Marisa going home instead of Sandra was a mistake, but I need to make sure no one traces it back to me. It’s all about survival now.") Desi and Almir discuss the game moving forward. Almir states, "It’s time for Cass or Reinaldo to go. They’re both wild cards, and we can’t have that this late in the game." Desi nods in agreement, "Absolutely. They’ve been a duo for too long; we need to break them up." Meanwhile, Marto approaches Almir, suggesting, "Cass needs to go next. She's too unpredictable." Almir, agreeing with the plan, says, "Yeah, Cass or Reinaldo, either one going is fine with me." RJ and Cass find themselves alone in the shelter. RJ breaks the silence, "Look, Cass, I have no reason to target you. I hope you feel the same way about me." Cass, relieved, replies, "I do. I’ve been trying to lay low since the merge started so chaotically for me." (RJ: "I’ve got a beautiful wife, Monica, and two amazing kids, Enzo and Filipa, back home. Everything I do here is for them. I need to figure out who the best people are to go to the end with. That’s my strategy moving forward.") Desi and Marto have a conversation about making it to the Final 7. Desi says, "We should be really proud of ourselves. Making it this far is no small feat." Marto, smiling, responds, "Honestly, I didn’t think I would make it this far, but here we are." Desi sits alone on the beach, reflecting on her game. (Desi: "I've done enough in this game to have blood on my hands. Moving forward, I want to focus on strengthening my bonds with people and let others make the big moves.")
Reward Challenge: Sandra and RJ win a luxurious picnic on a secluded beach with sandwiches, fresh fruit, and cold drinks.
Back at camp, Cass and Desi talk with Cass saying that she has been separating herself from Reinaldo for awhile but their earlier antics may have caused everybody to think that they were a duo. Desi says that there is a small chance it could be her or Reinaldo depending on who wins Immunity. She feels as though the others are ready to send one of them home. RJ talks with Sandra about moving forward together and then tells her that trusts her a lot. Sandra and Marto talk about how, after splitting up Cass and Reinaldo, they need to focus on somebody else that sent Lio home.
Immunity Challenge: Marto wins Immunity!
Cass and Reinaldo talk about how their chaos was fun while it lasted but they both know it will be one of them. There is a big search for the immunity idol with Desi finding it.
