Barrett Krehl from Season 8 |
| It now shows two boats with both Tribes. On Cantelle, Brynn CCs thar she was shocked she got a chance to compete so, now, she will do whatever it takes to get to the end and not waste this chance. John CCs that his name is John Finn and is was the over eccentric superfan from Season 9. He overplayed without really playing and became the scapegoat for one of the biggest moves in the game. He plans to calm down and actually play this time. Pat CCs that he is Pat Markley from Seaspon and his run ended early as he was not a good ally. He's learned, he's watched the game evolve and he plans to actually not make dumb mistakes. Eutalia CCs that she is one half of Cappucci Chaos and got 8th place. Janeane Coffey CCs that her time on Season 9 was a lot of fun and her elimination was the catalyst for the second half of the game. She plans to be lore involved. On Samson, Shontelle CCs that her name is Shontelle Varelas and people may remember her as the woman with a vengeance in Season 15. Now she is back and she plans to backstab anybody and everybody to get to the end Quentin CCs that he was the biggest wildcard of Season 10. Since then, he and his wife [Melanie] have had another [Landon b.2009] child [Seras b.2012]. He cant believe it has been four years since Season 10 already. Hayes CCs that, last year, he was part of an insane blindside---his. He hopes to read the room better snd stop any attempts to send him packing. Riga CCs that she infamously turned on her closest ally and then paid for it. She, obviously, plans to not do that. Arliso CCs that he got 5th place in Season 1. Alicia CCs that she competed on Season 12 and was a part of Jada's cult. She made a lot of really bad moves that cost her the game. Some of these moves were pretty immoral so she wants to prove that she has changed for the better. Once everybody is on the island, Cornilio Roquez announces that the first twist begins ... now. There is a secret Cabin. Every round, one person from each tribe must go and stay there for the night. It may sound luxurious, especially as you have Immunity, but there is a twist. The tribe who doesn't find the Key first has every member who went to the Cabin be the only ones nominated in a special Tribal Council. A couple of rules apply: you can't go twice and the Key will be hidden after the third Tribal Council. Eutalia CCs that she would love to find the Key. Everybody on her tribe would adore her. Alicia CCs that she doesn't know if she wants to risk the Cabin. If she goes and then the other tribe finds the Key, she will be screwed. Brad CCs that he would prefer to go every round if he could. A nice bed and Immunity sounds amazing. |
| On Cantalle, Brynn CCs that she really likes everybody on her tribe. They are getting the second chance they all yearned for and it feels amazing. As they build the shelter, John CCs that he remembers when he did this the first time. He learned a lot from his first experience, especially when it came to surviving in nature. After the shelter is built, they all lie in it. Lily CCs that it feels so good to accomplish something like building a shelter. Teio CCs that they all took a moment to relax and it was so nice. Harry says that, in his season, their shelter was not as nice as this. Lily says the same. |
| On Samson, Summer CCs that the shelter was built without any problems, which surprised her. In Season 6, she had to navigate an insane amount of drama and strategy. Alicia calls the tribe together and says that she'd like to get something off her chest. Alicia CCs that, on her season, she was delusional, mean-spirited and she hated seeing that side of her. She had no excuse. On her original season, she was part of a delusional alliance full of bullies, including herself. She wants them to know that she has changed and she is not like how she was on Season 12. Martilla CCs that she will still be unsure about Alicia for awhile. She really has to prove herself. |
| On Cantalle, Brynn CCs that she feels good with her tribe. She needs to not play hard in the first two weeks. Other people can bury thenselves. Brad is with Janeane, Lily and Teio. He says that he sees this four as a good and trustworthy four. Brad CCs that he is confident in his abilities to negotiate. He plans to try and get safety by any means necessary. Brad is with Brynn. He says that the two of them are early outs with a lot to prove and he thinks that it would be in their best interests to work together. Brynn agrees. Brad then says the same thing to Pat, who also agrees. Brad CCs that he will say whatever to whoever and he only hopes that things will fall into place. Arliso is with Harry, Brynn and Michael in the shelter. He says that a lot has happened since Season 1 for sure. He CCs that the game evolved like crazy. A part of him is both excited and nervous. Brynn says that she was on Season 4 when the seasons started picking up on the strategy like crazy. Michael says that she says that but Season 3 had an insane amount of strategy for an early season. Brynn agrees. She says that she is excited to see Harry, Arliso and Michael back as she rooted for all three of them in their original seasons. Harry CCs that he didn't think he'd get a second chance like this. Harry says that the four of them should ally together since they are all from early seasons. They agree. |
| On Samson, David is talking with Riga and says that the both of them have a lot to prove, especially with how they both went out. David tells Shontelle that they both played hard and it didnt end well for either of them. He thinks that, since they have that in common, it could be good for them to ally up and help each other to make sure that doesnt happen again. David CCs that his strategy in the early game is to relate to people and bring them in that way. Riga talks with Hayes about, potentially, targeting Arliso first. She says that he didn't do much with building the shelter and he is letting others do the majority of work. Hayes agrees. Riga CCs that, at the beginning, you need to do your part and Arliso hasn't done much. Hayes talks to Quentin about how Riga is already naming targets. Quentin is sketched out and says that playing hard right off the bat isnt good. Hayes CCs that he agrees with Riga but we all know what she tried to do to her closest ally. |
| On Cantalle, Eutalia CCs that she's decided that Cappucci Chaos needs to strike again. Eutalia chucks the flint into the forest while nobody is looking. Later, Janeane says that she can't find the flint. Her, Michael and John try to find it. John finds it at the foot of the forest. John CCs that the flint was left here deliberately. Detective John Finn is on the case. John asks Janeane if she dropped the flint by the forest. Janeane says that she didn't and tells John that she would've known where it was of she did. Janeane CCs that she really didn't appreciate John accusing her of that. |
| On Samson, Martilla, Riga, Sashie Alicia and Summer are all in the shelter. Riga says that, for her, it has been six years and it was a pretty crazy season. Riga CCs that she is known for trying to betray her closest ally. She needs to make connections and slowly build trust so game strategy talks are out of the question. Riga says that she is, now, 52 and she is still a computer hardware developer. Her oldest just graduated high school and she is so proud. She CCs that she never thought she would get a second chance. Slow and steady wins the race. Alicia says that she has a lot to prove since Season 12. Summer tells Alicia that what bothered her a lot was Joey cheating on Kaylyn with Alicia's sister and still not voting him out. She admits to having reservations. Summer CCs that, yes, Alicia has a lot to prove. She doesnt trust her at all. Alicia understands and hopes to show everybody the new and improved her. Alicia CCs that she should've voted Joey out that night. Since the season, her and her sister haven't been as close. This season, she will never make a mistake like that again and she is so, so sorry. |
| On Cantalle, everybody is around the campfire. Pat says that Survivor was really new still back in Season 2 and he was a part of the worst tribe in the show's history [Troupial]. He says that strategy was new and he played way too hard way too fast. He still remembers being so confused when he was voted out and then watching it back realizing, in his own words, that he was an idiot. This gets some laughs. Pat CCs that he isn't the same Pat Markley from nine years ago. He knows not to betray any allies this time. Harry says that, meanwhile, he was on the other side and got voted out for not wanting to send Nancy home, which sketched everybody out. Michael says that he was a part of a crazy alliance in a crazy merge. Brad agrees that Season 3's merge was insane. Michael CCs that all of them bonding over their previous seasons is really nice. |
| At the Challenge Arena, Lily and Arliso are sent to the Cabin. SAMSON wins Reward (fishing gear) and Immunity! |
| At the Cabin, Lily CCs that she offered to head to the Cabin first. She wanted to make sure that, after all these years, she wasn't the first person out. Her tribe didn't win Immunity so she was at risk. Arliso CCs that he didn't get a choice in the matter but he is fine with it. Arliso says that they both have Immunity and can relax. Lily says that the only bad thing is that The Key means you get immunity and luxury but st the cost of being one of the only ones eligible to be eliminated. Lily CCs that The Key worries her but her plan is to overcome that. Arliso CCs that The Key makes things very, very exciting! He hopes that somebody finds it before the merge. Arliso tells Lily that he wants to make a deal with her right now. If The Key is found later on, they don't vote for eachother. Lily says that she is very good with that plan. Lily asks him what it was like on Season 1. Arliso said it was super exciting and he made it to Final 5. He got to experience the game before it become the game it is today so now he'll be experiencing two different eras of the same show. Lily comments on how profound that is. Lily CCs that the person she trusts the most in this game is, no doubt, Arliso. She will remember this day. |
| On Cantalle, Eutalia and Janeane are in the water. Eutalia says that she wants to get out the big threats. Harry, John, Brynn and Pat are not threats to her at all. Eutalia CCs that her tribe doesn't have people worthy of winning except for her and Michael. Brad is talking with Pat and Brynn. Brad CCs that he managed to become the leader of the tribe once again and, unlike his original season, he won't be usurped. He says that the biggest threats are Michael and Janeane. He thinks they should send them both out. Pat and Brynn agree. Later, Pat and Brynn are st the water well. Pat is unsure about taking out either Michael or Janeane just because Brad says so. Brynn agrees and says that they also could take out one since it isn't them. Brynn CCs that, as long as it isn't her, she doesn't care. Pat CCs that Brad and him played very hard on their original seasons and, so far, Brad is the only one of the two of them that hasn't learned his lesson. Elsewhere, Michael and Teio discuss working together. The two are on board and then discuss taking out Janeane or John. Teio CCs that he doesn't trust either of them. Michael CCs that Janeane and John haven't been very social with him, even when he tries.
Brad and Michael are in the shelter. Brad says that, right now, the votes are there to take out either him or Janeane. Michael is shocked, CCing that he doesn't know how he could be at the bottom this early. He did not wait ten years to be the first person sent home. Brad tells Michael that if he doesn't vote for Janeane, he will be going home pre-jury. Brad CCs that it doesn't matter to him who goes. Brad then talks to Janeane and tells her that he wants Michael out and he has the votes to do so. Janeane CCs that Brad's approach is very sketchy. Michael is talking with Teio and Brynn and says that a part of him wants to target Brad with his approach recently but he is unsure if he has the votes. Michael CCs that Brad is trying to strongarm the vote and that doesn't sit well with him. Brynn says that she is unsure as well. Teio thinks it could be possible if they spoke to people but Brad seems to have his hands in everybody's pockets. Teio CCs that they don't know if it is too early or even possible right now. |
| At Tribal Council, the host is open that this Tribal and the next Tribal will only decide one person to be eliminated completely. The first two out will have an opportunity to get back into the game. The first to be voted out is ... Janeane. |

| On Cantalle, on the way back to camp, Pat CCs that he didn't feel good voting out Janeane. He hopes that the other tribe loses and Janeane wins her way back in. Brad CCs that the vote was between his two targets. He feels pretty powerful. Back at camp, Michael thanks everybody for not voting him out. Michael CCs that he doesnt know how to feel about Brad. He doesn't trust him at all and he doesn't like being strongarmed into a decision. |
| Opening Credits |
| On Samson, in the morning, Arliso joins his tribe again. He CCs that last night was pretty relaxing. Unfortunately, you can only go to the Cabin once. Arliso tells his tribe that, now, he is eligible to be voted out if Cantalle finds The Key. He CCs that his strategy now is to let others know that, hey, he can go due to this twist so there is no reason to get him out beforehand. Elsewhere, Quentin is in the water with Riga and Summer. He says that he hopes to get through the pre merge without being targeted a thousand times. He CCs that he wants to change any fate that sees him going out early. In his first run, he was known as a wildcard and barely made it to jury. Quentin says that the three of them could easily be targeted for anything so it may be good to be allied and let each other know if others are targeting them. Summer and Riga agree. Riga CCs that Quentin does have a point. She is unsure if Summer would eb targeted early but her and Quentin definitely will. Quentin is talking with Martilla and says that, since they are both from Season 10, they should, definitely, work together. Martilla agrees. Quentin CCs that he plans to lay low in the first half but he needs allies or else he will be targeted. He is unsure about going to the Cabin. |
| On Cantalle, Brad is laying down in the shelter. Brad CCs that he owns the tribe. Everybody trusts him and he has the jumpers to take on anybody. He is shocked how good of a position he got in this early. Pat comes by and sits down. Brad tells him that he, Pat, is good with him. As long as Pat is trustworthy, he won't head home. Pat CCs that he (Pat) got too confident in his first season. He knows to dial it back. Brad hasn't learned anything and it bothers him as they both went out pre-merge. Pat says that, as they both went out pre-merge, they should be careful this time around. Brad says that he isn't worried and he can't help it if Brad is. Pat CCs that anybody who went out pre-merge should not play the game as if nobody will ever take them out. They may go out sooner than later. |
| It is revealed that one person from each of the two tribes will be swapped. Whichever tribemates get the black rock will be swapped. Those swapping are Martilla and Harry. |
| On Samson, Harry CCs that swapping to a new tribe like this could be fatal. He feels as if he is starting from square one again and that really annoys him. Everybody welcomes Harry to the tribe. David CCs that he is genuinely happy to have Harry on his tribe. He is a stand-up guy! Sashie CCs that Harry seems like such a nice guy. Hayes is at the water well with Shontelle. He says that he is shocked how nice Summer is. Shontelle agrees. Hayes CCs that the nicest person on the tribe, by far, is Summer. It is easy to see how she went so far. Summer is joking around with Riga. Riga CCs that Summer is the lost trustworthy person on the tribe. David is talking with Arliso in the water. He says that the people he trusts the most are him, Harry, Hayes and Summer. Arliso says that he feels the same way. David CCs that he is confident in the list of people he trusts. Summer is alone in the shelter. She CCs that she got near the end of Season 6 because of her social game. However, she wants to do something more. |
