| Cornilio Roquez stands in an empty auditorium and says that there are two spots left in the game. One woman and one man. |
| The Women: walk onto the stage first. Brynn May-Michaels from Season 4 |
| The Men:
Barrett Krehl from Season 8 |
| It now shows two boats with both Tribes. On Cantelle, Brynn CCs that 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. Lily CCs that her name is Lily Tamley and she was a part of a good but also bad alliance that fell apart in Season 3. 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. Matt CCs that he is Matt Markley from Season 2 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. Arliso CCs that his name is Arliso and he is all the way from Season 1! Since his season, the game evolved like absolute crazy and he is curious to see if he can adapt or fall behind. 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. Alexis 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. Teio CCs that his name is Teio Goodend and he was an early boot on Season 10 due to trying to take out his closest ally. Since his season, he and Gino have been very close pals. Summer CCs that her name is Summer Vila from Season 6! Her season was absolutely insane! So much happened! However, she wasn't much of a strategist in her season and her social game got her both far and also eliminated right near the end. 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. Alexis 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. Summer CCs that this twist is really exciting! It's been seven years since her season so she is ready to get into it. |
| 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. She knows how badly they all wanted this. 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. Matt is laying down in the sand. He CCs that, in Season 2, he was a 24 year old chef. He really didn't know what to expect. Since Season 2 aired, he got married to his beautiful wife [Mila] and they have two children [Brent - 9M - Paige - 7F] together! He will be turning 36 in five months! He went from a simple sois chef to owning two restaurants. |
| 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. Alexis calls the tribe together and says that she'd like to get something off her chest. Alexis 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 Alexis 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 themselves. 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. Teio CCs that allying with Brad doesn't fill him with confidence. 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 Matt, who also agrees. Brad CCs that he will say whatever to whoever and he only hopes that things will fall into place. Harry, Brynn and Michael in the shelter are 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 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. He knows that he shouldn't waste this chance doing anything stupid. Harry says that the four of them should ally together since they are all from early seasons. They agree. Michael CCs that this alliance (Brynn, Harry, Michael) seems really trustworthy. |
| 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 isn't 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, everybody is sitting around the fire. David CCs that it has been 5 years since Season 9. He didn't think he'd get a second chance. David says that, since Season 9, he got two more grandchildren. 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, 42 and she is still a computer hardware developer. Her oldest just graduated high school and she is so proud. She had him when she was 24 and married his Dad at 22. She CCs that she never thought she would get a second chance. Slow and steady wins the race. Shontelle says that, since her season, she got engaged to her amazing fiancé [Evan]. Martilla says that she got married to the love of her life two years ago. Martilla CCs that it was nice for everybody to share their story. They've all really grown since their first season. Alexis says that she has a lot to prove since Season 12. Summer tells Alexis that what bothered her a lot was Joey cheating on Kaylyn with Alexis's sister and still not voting him out. She admits to having reservations. Summer CCs that, yes, Alexis has a lot to prove. She doesnt trust her at all. Alexis understands and hopes to show everybody the new and improved her. Alexis 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. Brynn CCs that the game has evolved so much and they are all here for redemption. To her, it has been nine years and she wants to do better than her first season. Matt 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. Matt CCs that he isn't the same Matt 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 (comfort) 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 Matt are not threats to her at all. Eutalia CCs that her tribe doesn't have people worthy of winning except for her and Michael. Janeane says that she is good with a big move but it just depends on what it is as the wrong move could be very bad for them. Janeane CCs that she is conflicted because she doesn't want to head home pre-jury again. Brad is talking with Matt 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. Matt and Brynn agree. Later, Matt and Brynn are at the water well. Matt 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. Matt 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. |

| (TITLE) |
| On Cantalle, on the way back to camp, Matt 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 be targeted early but her and Quentin definitely will. Summer CCs that any of them could be targeted at any time so they should be prepared for anything. 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. Matt comes by and sits down. Brad tells him that he, Matt, is good with him. As long as Matt is trustworthy, he won't head home. Matt CCs that he (Matt) 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. Matt 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. Matt 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 most 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. |
| On Cantalle, Martilla CCs that a swap this early could be good for her. Maybe. She isn't too sure. Lily, Michael and Teio openly welcome Martilla to the tribe and show her around. Brad CCs that this is just a temporary stay. If they lose, he'll get the tribe to vote her out. In the shelter, Teio tells Martilla that, as they are both from Season 10, they should protect each-other. Martilla agrees and says that the two of them turned on an ally and was voted out so they do have that in common. Teio CCs that Martilla isn't wrong. Hopefully, they can become a strong a reliable duo. Elsewhere, John, Lily and Eutalia are in the water. John says that Martilla is nice and all but Harry could still be loyal to them and she could still be loyal to her original tribe. Lily and Eutalia agree that it could be a possibility. John CCs that a part of him thinks Martilla could turn on them. Elsewhere, Eutalia is in the shelter alone. She talks to herself, saying that she wants to cause a lot of chaos but it's less possible since Vala isn't with her. She CCs that she really appreciates and cares about her sister, Vala. They have their odd argument here and there but she really loves her sister. Eutalia then takes a big handful of rice and makes a small line in the trail near the shelter. She looks around and is surprised nobody has seen her yet. She CCs that Cappucci Chaos will still happen with or without Vala. |
| On Samson, Alexis and Summer are in the shelter, alone. They both comment on how nice the weather has been. Summer tells Alexis that it would be good to have an alliance between the two of them. Alexis agrees. Summer CCs that she wants to give Alexis the benefit of a doubt. She seems super friendly. Alexis says that they shouldn't play too hard in the beginning. She wants to strategize but it is early on. Summer agrees and says that people will target whoever over anything. Alexis CCs that she trusts Summer more than most people on her tribe. Sashie sets up a mini court and uses some string to tie some of a blanket together. She CCs that she decided to try and set up a volleyball game. On one side is Quentin, Riga and Sashie and on the other is Arliso, David and Shontelle. As the volleyball game happens, Arliso CCs that he is just so happy to be back. He is having so much fun on Survivor and today may be the most fun he has had yet. Riga CCs that it was nice to take a break from paranoia and strategizing. Sashie CCs that her ploy of getting people to have fun worked! As the game continues, Shontelle CCs that they need to do this again. |
| CANTALLE wins Reward (fishing gear)! |
| On Cantalle, Brad says that he will assign two people to go fishing. He chooses Matt and Teio. Brad CCs that he doesn't know how to fish so he sees no reason to try. While they are out fishing, Teio tells Matt that Brad is really pissing him off. Matt says that he doesn't want Brad to go as the three of them went out pre-merge but he may vote for him if they lose. Matt CCs that he is so conflicted but Brad is doing himself no favours. Teio CCs that the sooner Brad goes, the better. Back on land, Martilla tells Brad that it looks like he is annoying some tribe members. Brad looks at her shocked. Martilla CCs that she learned from Teio that he wants her out. That means she can say whatever she wants since he wants her out anyway. Brad tells Martilla that he is doing a fine job as the tribe leader. Martilla says that he is running the tribe like a dictator. Michael agrees. He CCs that Martilla started the conversation so he decided to join it. Brad tells Michael to shut up. Michael tells Brad that nobody on the tribe likes his attitude. Martilla tells Brad that she is voting him out if they lose again. Brad tells her that she doesn't have the votes. Brad CCs that he is livid right now. Martilla and Michael need to go! |
| On Samson, David and Summer are on a makeshift teeter-totter. Summer says that there is an alliance between Hayes, Harry and Quentin. Summer CCs that she wants to play a bit more cutthroat. So, she is exposing an alliance that was made 20 minutes ago with her in it. David says that a lot of people have alliances. Summer says that their targets are him and Riga. David says that he shouldn't be too surprised. Summer CCs that the targets are actually Arliso and Shontelle but, maybe, she can orchestrate somebody's elimination with this info. David and Quentin are on a walk together. David CCs that he doesn't trust anybody on the tribe but a part of him is chaotic so he wants to see if he can turn any tables just in case. David tells Quentin that Summer came up to him and told him that him, Hayes and Harry have an alliance and they want him out. He says that he trusts Quentin a lot and wants to go very far with him so a part of him really doubts that. David CCs that he is just saying what Quentin may want to hear. David wonders if this is just a tactic to get him to target Quentin. Quentin thinks it is, CCing that he is shocked that the alliance was spilled not even an hour after it was made. Quentin is talking with Hayes and reveals to him that Summer told David about the alliance and that they were targeting him. Hayes says that they were, definitely, not targeting him. Quentin is now conflicted. Hayes says that Summer wasn't a strategist on her season so, maybe, David is lying. Quentin says that David listed them and Harry so, maybe, Summer is trying to play a more strategic game this time around. Hayes CCs that he doesn't know what is and isn't the truth. Quentin CCs that he has to keep an eye on Summer now. |
| SAMSON won Immunity! Harry and Matt are sent to The Cabin. |
| Harry and Matt arrive at the Cabin. Harry CCs that she is so happy to be given Immunity. The twist puts her at danger but at least he won't be voted out tonight. Matt says that this may have been the worst time to be sent to the Cabin as something big may be going on at his tribe. Harry asks about it. Matt says that the tribe is becoming very divided. Harry says that, at least, Matt won't be voted out due to the chaos. Matt CCs that Harry has a point. He felt safe but you can't ever feel safe in this game. Harry asks him how he feels to be back. Matt says that it is amazing and he never thought he would get a second chance. He says that he refuses to go pre-merge again. He CCs that he has a dream in this game. He wants to make it to the merge! |
| On Cantalle, Lily CCs that the tribe lost but everything seems really up in the air. She knows some people wanted Brad out but he was pretty good in the challenge. Eutalia is with Brynn in the water. She says that she is up for anything. Brynn says that there are, no doubt, a few options. Brynn CCs that she would rather vote in the majority but it is just a matter of funding out what that majority is. Brynn asks Riga who she plans to vote for. Riga says that it is up in the air but it is between Martilla, Brad and Hayes. She CCs that she doesn't know if Martilla will stay loyal to The other tribe or not and she doesn't know if she can trust Brad or Hayes. Brynn says that she will follow her lead. Whoever she wants out, she will vote out. Riga jokes about the pressure to the vote now. Brynn is now with Brad and asks who he wants out. Brad says that he wants Martilla out. Brad CCs that Martilla needs to go, followed by Michael. Brynn CCs that she is still confused on who to vote for. Brad is talking with John and says that Martilla and Michael are on the outs so they need to go. John says that he is good with whoever. Brad is then talking with Lily and says that he wants Martilla out tonight. Lily says that she is good with that. Lily CCs that nobody knows if they can trust Martilla but, also, the tribe is slowly going against Brad. Brad is with Teio in the shelter and says that the vote tonight is Martilla. Teio says that he's good with the plan. Teio CCs that he has to choose between somebody loyal to the tribe and somebody who may not be. |
| At Tribal Council ... Brad is voted out. |

| On Cantalle, on the way back to camp, Martilla CCs that she is shocked to still be in the game. She doesn't know how or why but everybody voted for Brad. At camp, Michael says that Brad was obnoxious. He CCs that they hid from Brad that he was the target. Lily CCs that Brad was far too controlling. Nobody could do anything. Matt says that he hopes Brad doesn't win the battleback. Teio CCs that he forgot about the battleback! It will be Brad versus Janeane! |
| Opening Credits |
| On Samson, Quentin is sitting alone by the water. He CCs that he doesn't know who to trust right now but he knows he can not trust Summer. Riga CCs that she hasn't spoken much in the past day. She has decided that playing under the radar will help, especially as she played really hard the first six days. Sashie is in the water with Shontelle, Riga and Quentin. She tells them that they made it to Day 7! Riga says that winning Immunity helps with that. Riga CCs that, had they lost, nobody knows where the vote was going to end up. A part of her wants to lose Immunity so they can figure that out. Sashie agrees and says that, should they lose, she does not want any of this group out. She says that she trusts them all a lot. Sashie CCs that she trusts a lot of people on her tribe but, if she had to choose one person, she would choose Shontelle as she is fiercely loyal. Sashie and Shontelle are st the water well. Sashie tells Shontelle that she was rooting for her on her season and loved how loyal she was. She wants to head to the end with her. Shontelle is completely for that. Shontelle CCs that Sashie is the kindest and most trustworthy person on the tribe. She knows that Sashie would not betray her. Shontelle, Summer, Sashie and Hayes are at the water well. Shontelle says that the four of them could easily take control of the tribe. The others agree. Shontelle says that, as an alliance, they all have an equal say. Shontelle CCs that she trusts them so she hopes that they trust her too. Summer CCs that alliances are great and all but she needs to find a target for her resume. Alexis is cooking rice by the shelter. David and Arliso come on by and thank her for making food. Alexis CCs that she has made it to Day 7! |
| Everybody meets up at the Challenge Arena. The host, Cornilio Roquez, says that the first two eliminated have a shot to get back into the game. However, only one will return. Janeane and Brad come out. During the challenge, Martilla CCs that she really doesn't want Brad to return. Lily CCs that she would prefer Janeane to come back. Brad CCs that he needs to return. He needs to find out who orchestrated his elimination and vote them out. Janeane CCs that she refuses to become a two-time pre-juror.Brad CCs that he is so close. Janeane returns! |
| On Cantalle, Janeane CCs that she has a new lease on life in the game! She will not ruin it. Everybody welcomes her back with open arms. Janeane says that she doesn't take her elimination personally and she wants to be on a clean slate with them. They all agree. In the shelter, Matt talks with Janeane, John and Lily about teaming up against the others. They agree. Matt says that he thinks that they should take out Martilla as Brad did have a point. Matt CCs that he is making it his mission to reach the merge. To do that, he needs allies and a target in front of him. Lily says that she is unsure as Brynn is a massive wildcard. Matt CCs that, to him, Brynn is the exception as she went out pre-merge like he did. Eutalia is alone in the shelter. She CCs that she is here to cause as much chaos as humanly possible and still see if she can win. At the same time, playing two seasons so close to each-other is really exhausting. Brynn and Michael sit down next to her and ask how her season was. Eutalia CCs that she still decided that her entire game is lie, lie, lie! Eutalia says that she was the fourth one out. It would have been a tie if it wasn't for the idol. She didn't see it coming when her own ally decided to blindside her because of wanting a "big move". Brynn CCs that, just like her, Eutalia was also a pre-merger. |
| On Samson, Summer is with Shontelle in the water. She says that Alexis, Riga and Quentin want her out. Summer CCs that she doesn't know if any of this will work but she plans to throw darts at the strategy board. Shontelle says that she is shocked. Summer says that, if they lose the challenge, it will probably be her and she doesn't want that. Shontelle CCs that she is glad that Summer is looking out for her. She's seen Summer's season so she knows that she is trustworthy. Sashie is with Arliso and Hayes joking around. Sashie CCs that her main strategy is just to socialize with people and get to know them. Hayes CCs that Sashie is super friendly and approachable. He doesn't know if this is a red flag or not. Sashie is talking with David in the shelter and makes him laugh. Sashie is then seen with Harry talking about outside life. Harry CCs that life on the island is really good. He feels safe with everybody, especially David and Sashie. Quentin and Summer are in the water together. Quentin tells Summer that he feels really good with her. Summer says the same about him and says that she can see them going really far. Quentin is glad that they are allied. He CCs that this is all a ruse. He doesn't trust Summer at all and wants her out. Summer tells Quentin that Shontelle, Sashie and Hayes made an alliance near her so they should watch out for that. She CCs that she will expose every alliance that she is in. Quentin CCs that Summer just gave him very useful info. |
| On Cantalle, Martilla, Michael and Teio are in the shelter together. Martilla CCs that she feels like any alliance she makes isn't actually true to them. She feels a bit out of the loop but that could be island paranoia getting to her. Martilla says that, with Brad gone, it seems like the island dynamics have reset. Teio says that he agrees completely. Matt comes by and sits down with them. Michael says that it definitely reset with Janeane back in the game. Matt CCs that, as far as targets go, his is Martilla but he hates the idea of an alliance alienating the target. Right now, his alliance consists of him, Michael, Teio, Eutalia, Brynn, John and Lily, with Janeane and Martilla on the outs. Later, Teio talks with Matt at the water well. He tells him that he likes the alliance but also really likes the idea of the pre-jurors teaming up to get to the jury. Teio CCs that their alliance has a few people who made the jury. Matt says that he is completely open to the idea. Teio then says that the ones who didn't make jury are the two of them, Brynn, Janeane, and Eutalia. That makes five, a majority. Matt says that they should get to work. Teio CCs that his goal is to find that one person he can ally with to the end. To him, that is either Matt or Martilla. |
| Cantalle wins Reward! |
| On Samson, Harry CCs that, win or lose, it has been a blast competing in the challenges. He encourages his family to try out for the show. Summer is relaxing in the shelter. She CCs that she had some time to think and playing a cutthroat game may not be for her so she will go back to focussing on her social game. Later, Alexis, Summer, Arliso, David, Hayes, Harry, Riga, Sashie and Quentin are in the shelter. David says that they need to look for the key as soon as possible when they can. So, as soon as there are only 18 contestants left, it will become a race. David CCs that, in the event that they don't find the key before the other tribe does, he doesn't want to risk going to The Cabin. Hayes says that he will volunteer to go this round if that is okay. The others are okay with that. Hayes CCs that he feels like he should be okay but one never knows in this game. He, especially, didn't know the day he was voted out in his first season. Volunteering like this will grant him immunity and trust of the tribe. |
| On Cantalle, Lily CCs that it has been a fantastic experience being on the island. For once in the game so far, she feels a bit more at peace. John CCs that he is known as one of the most reckless players in the history of the show. Since he has been here, he has done his best to not annoy his tribemates. However, he feels like him and Lily may be seen like a duo so he needs to branch out. In the shelter, John tells Lily that they should branch out before they are seen as a duo. Maybe hang out less. Lily agrees and says that she, definitely, encourages this but also says that they should still remain each-other's number one. John agrees. Lily CCs that branching out is really good for them. Janeane is alone in the water. She CCs that, after coming back in, she feels like she had to start over. She does, however, have a good alliance with Matt, John and Lily so she feels a bit more confident. Matt and Janeane are at the water well. Matt says that an alliance of pre-jurors would be beneficial with their goal being to get all of them to jury. Janeane says that she is good with that. Matt says that the ones who didn't are them, Teio, Brynn and Eutalia. Janeane says that she is all in on that. Matt CCs that Teio came up with the idea and he is going along with it. This is very beneficial for him. As it now stands, the ones on the out are John, Lily, Martilla and Michael. |
| On Samson, Riga CCs that she still wants to lose Immunity and see what happens next. Riga talks to Sashie and Alexis about throwing the challenge and voting out Harry, Shontelle or Arliso. While Alexis is up for it, Sashie is unsure. Alexis CCs that she doesn't see why they shouldn't. Sashie CCs that she won't stop them but losing an Immunity on purpose could be bad for them in the future. |
| CANTALLE won Immunity! Hayes and Michael are sent to The Cabin. |
| As they arrive at the Cabin, Hayes CCs that he's mainly been laying low. He wants to do everything he can to make it to the merge at least and then take out big targets. One of them being Michael. Michael CCs that Hayes is a threat to him but he can't do anything until they are on the same tribe. Hayes and Michael sit down and discuss the rain. Hayes CCs that, if he is lucky, he can hide from Michael that he wants him gone the moment they are on the same tribe. Michael CCs that he notices something odd. Him and Hayes may be targeting each-other. |
| On Samson, David CCs that the tribe didn't perform as well. He suspects that some people threw it like Riga, Alexis and Harry. Alexis CCs that, for the first time, she is at risk. She has done everything she could to avoid being the first to go from her tribe. She doesn't know what else to do. Alexis and Sashie are in the shelter. Sashie says that Riga is too quiet and she doesn't trust her at all. Alexis agrees. Sashie also says that her proposal earlier to throw the challenge worked but she also trusts Shontelle with Alexis saying the same. Shontelle comes and sits down and Sashie says that Riga can't be trusted as she is far too quiet. Shontelle says that she has noticed this as well. Sashie CCs that Riga is a big personality. Suddenly, she has barely spoken for 3 days except to throw the challenge and target an ally of hers. What is going on? Quentin and Shontelle are at the water well. Quentin says that his target is Summer as she likes to make alliances and then expose them to other people. Shontelle is shocked. Quentin says that Summer is not playing her Season 6 game. This is Season 18 Summer. Quentin CCs that Summer backstabbed him and he wants revenge. Shontelle says that Summer told her that him, Alexis and Riga want her (Shontelle) out so she doesn't know if she can trust his word. Quentin is shocked and says that that is not true at all! He tells her that "Shontelle, Sashie and Hayes made an alliance and we should watch out for that". Shontelle is even more shocked and says that she made this alliance WITH Summer. Shontelle CCs that Quentin is right. In the shelter, Quentin sits down with Summer, Riga, David and Arliso and tells Summer that she told Shontelle that him, Riga and Alexis wanted her (Shontelle) out. She also told people that the two of them had an alliance. Summer says that stuff like this is why people wanted him out on his season. He needs to slow down and not play like absolutely crazy. Summer CCs that, somehow, her actions have now blown up in her face so, maybe, she should vote Quentin out tonight. Quentin CCs that he knows how risky it was to call her out in public but this is how he will take her down. Summer is with Shontelle and says that Quentin needs to go. Shontelle shakes her head and says that Quentin named the alliance and every member except for her so she knows that Quentin is onto something about her. Shontelle CCs that, for a moment, she forgot about the massive amounts of deceit in this game. She got too comfortable. Summer CCs that she screwed up really badly. Quentin and David are in the water. Quentin says that it is obvious who he is voting for. If she doesn't go now, she will expose everybody's games, including the two of them. David says that his concerns are with Riga, Alexis and Harry as well as they threw the challenge. However, he does have a point with Summer and it may be good to get Summer out now. David CCs that there are far too many people to target and choosing who of them goes first is a tough decision that could decide his game. |
| At Tribal Council, Arliso starts off by calling Riga out for targeting him and throwing the challenge. When Cornilio asks about that, Arliso says that Riga threw the challenge to target him, Shontelle and Alexis. Riga says that Arliso is innocent in all this and the person she should really target is either Sashie or Alexis. Sashie and Alexis ask her why with Brynn saying that she didn't say anything to Arliso so she shouldn't be blamed for this. Harry says that Alexis basically confessed that she knew of Riga's plan. Alexis tells Harry to mind his own business with Harry telling her that what she said was very unnecessary. Alexis then says that Harry should go instead. Quentin then interrupts and says that the person who should actually go home is Summer due to her exposing alliances and telling lies that she's been caught on. Shontelle agrees with this but Summer says that she would rather go with a different plan or even target Quentin. By a very close vote ... Riga is voted out. |

| On Samson, on the way back to camp, David CCs that Tribal Council was very chaotic but the right person left. Him, Arliso and Sashie voted for Riga. There were supposed to be more votes but he wasn't expecting the amount of targets. Back at camp, Summer thanks everybody for saving her, CCing that she doesn't know whether to play her Season 6 game or this new strategic game. She was thinking about going back under the radar until Quentin called her out. Quentin CCs that both him and Summer stayed. Somehow, Riga left and he doesn't know how. |
| Opening Credits |
| It is now the morning. Sashie CCs that she doesn't know who to truly trust. David and Arliso seem trustworthy. Same with Alexis but that is it. Alexis, Quentin and David are in the shelter. David says that Riga threw the challenge but, should they lose next time he promises to vote for Summer. Quentin thanks him and says that she is bound to call out his game if she stays longer. Quentin CCs that the biggest obstacle right now is Summer. She has exposed every alliance that she has been in. The fact that everybody kept her is downright insane. Summer is at the water well with Harry. She says that last night was nuts. Everybody was being called out. Harry says that he doesn't trust them going to Tribal Council again because it could be the same. Harry CCs that he called out Alexis but, in a way, he doesn't think that she is a bigger threat than Quentin, Summer or even David. Harry is in the shelter with Alexis. He apologizes for calling her out and says that things got crazy. Alexis says that she doesn't plan to hold any grudges in this game. Alexis CCs that she respects Harry a lot, especially as a player and a person. She holds no ill will. |
| On Cantalle, Michael and Martilla are alone in the shelter. Martilla tells him that she gets this feeling like she may be on the outs and she has been there since Brad was sent home. Martilla CCs that she can't shake this feeling. Michael tells her that she she said is true, CCing that he is starting to notice that he could be on the outs as well. Michael tells her that the both of them could be. Martilla says that, if that is the case, they have nothing to lose and should do whatever it takes. Michael agrees. Martilla says that the two of them should stick together. Underdogs until the end. Michael is completely fine with this. Martilla CCs that she needs allies. True allies. Martilla is with John at the water well and says that the two of them may be targeted for similar reasons: being reckless on their original season. John agrees and says that it may be a miracle if either of them make the merge. Martilla CCs that John is more situated in the tribe so him saying that confirmed her suspicions. John CCs that he is good with a lot of the tribe but he feels like Martilla has the short end of the stick. Should he vote her out soon? Should he be an ally? He doesn't know yet. |
| On Samson, Shontelle is alone in the shelter. She CCs that Summer was her number one ally and she betrayed her completely. She can't trust anybody in this game. Not at all. Maybe just Quentin but she doesn't know. Shontelle talks with Sashie and tells her that, should they lose, she will vote for anybody but the two of them. Sashie appreciates not being a target for her. Shontelle says that Summer should not be trusted, David should not be trusted, and Arliso and Alexis definitely shouldn't be. Shontelle CCs that her strategy is "anybody but me". She will do and say whatever to make sure that she isn't out and she will not trust a single person in this game ever. No loyalty. Alexis and Arliso are at the water well. Arliso says that he is, definitely, starting to trust her more and more and apologizes for judging her based on Season 12. Arliso CCs that Alexis has been a different person since entering the game. So, he plans to give her more of a chance. Alexis CCs that she feels a bit more safe in the game now. |
| On Cantalle, Lily is alone on the beach. She CCs that she doesn't know if she can go farther with John. After all, his Season 9 game was all about wanting to make big moves. He could be reckless. Janeane, Matt and Eutalia are alone in the shelter. Eutalia says that it will be amazing if the three of them make the merge together. She CCs that she is still lying about going out pre-merge. This may be the best move she has ever made in either season she has been in. Janeane says that, so far, one pre-merger went out already--Brad. Matt says that Brad was super reckless. Matt CCs that his mission is to take every pre-merger on his tribe to the merge. That means that they all had to ally and the ones who made the merge on their original season are on the outs. Lily is with Teio in the water. She says that they should be worried about John Finn. Teio says that he saw Season 9 so he understands. Lily says that, should they lose, they should target him. Lily CCs that she went from debating John going to now campaigning for it. She doesn't know if John can be trusted. He could turn on her very soon. |
| On Samson, Alexis and Quentin are in the shelter. Quentin tells her that she really doesn't seem like the Season 12 Alexis and he really appreciates that. Alexis says that she was delusional in her season but not here. Alexis CCs that every day sees her tribe trust her more and more. She has fought hard to gain this trust. David, Arliso and Harry are in the water. Arliso says that he has been having so much fun since the season started. Harry agrees and says that it feels amazing to be back. Arliso CCs that, right now, he has been under the radar but he is more focused on enjoying the experience right now. He can start naming targets closer to the merge. Until then, though, he has been very perceptive. Arliso says that, as they may or may not know, since Season 1, he got married and had two children. He feels very, very blessed and is very content on where his life is. He CCs that he loves Survivor so much. He was 25 when he first played. He barely remembers that year aside from Season 1. It's been 12 whole years! |
| On Cantalle, Lily is talking with Michael, saying that she doesn't know if John can be trusted. In his first season, all he wanted to do was make big moves and that could be either of them. Michael says that John has been playing a much more subdued game this time around. Michael CCs that he gets where Lily is coming from but he isn't worried. John is completely different this time around. Martilla is talking with Teio, CCing that one good ally could be Teio. She never actually voted him out. She says that the two of them are good in her books. She didn't even vote him out in Season 10. Teio says that he remembers that. Teio CCs that Martilla seems to be scrambling for allies but she does have a point. She never did vote for him. Teio talks with Matt, saying that, should they go home, he is unsure about voting out Martilla. They could go for John, Lily or Michael first. Matt says that he is okay with that. Anybody but their alliance, after all. Teio CCs that Martilla owes him now. Matt was dead set on her going. Although, he agreed really quickly. Matt CCs that he may have made the alliance but he doesn't want to control it. Despite him wanting Martilla out, he wants them deciding together. |
| On Samson, Alexis and David are in the shelter. Alexis CCs that she feels like she is in a fantastic position on the tribe now. Maybe she can control the next vote. She tells him that, for her, the biggest threat on the tribe is Sashie. Summer will go whenever and Quentin can go after her but, right now, Sashie is her prime target. David asks why. Alexis says that Sashie just seems like the biggest jury threat right now. David CCs that he gets where Alexis is coming from but he is unsure about targeting social threats this early. David and Harry are talking on the beach. David says that he is approaching 60 soon. He is 59. Harry says that he's also in his 50s and was 43 when he first played. Harry CCs that, for some of them, this could be the last time they ever play. Harry says that, as long as they both do their best, win or lose, they could be happy. David agrees. He says that he will never give up. David says that he respects Arliso's outlook on life. Harry says the same and suggests that the three of them form a Final 3 alliance. David says that he is all for that, CCing that he would love to see the three of them in the end. |
| On Cantalle, Teio is in the water. He CCs that he knows the pre-mergers are sticking together but there is no doubt in his mind that Matt is in charge. He is willing to ride his coattails for a bit but he won't let Matt get to the end. Not even Final 8. He is talking with John and Janeane in the shelter. Teio CCs that he turned on his closest ally due to paranoia. He doesn't plan to do that here. So, when he finds a number 1, that is his ally to the end. Matt can't be that as he is too powerful in this game. John is with Michael in the water. Michael says that he feels like he can trust John again. Michael CCs that Janeane and John barely gave an effort with him. The both of them have gotten a lot better. John says the same. He says that he loved watching Michael play on his season so it is amazing that the two of them can work together. |
| On Samson, Alexis is talking with Arliso. She says that, since people trust her again, she wants to name the next target. Arliso says that he doesn't think it works like that, CCing that the trust she gained back went to her head in record time. Alexis assures him that she doesn't plan to name him, CCing that she would like a move in her resume. Now that she could have the numbers, it is now or never. Alexis is talking with Harry, saying that they need to focus on big, big threats right now. Riga was not a threat. Harry asks who she wants out. Alexis says Sashie. Harry CCs that Alexis may have gotten too comfortable. Harry warns her that, now that she has the trust back, she should lay low until the merge. Alexis says that she doesn't know if she will be in this position for too long. Harry CCs that Alexis needs to slow down. Is Sashie a potential threat? Sure. However, this isn't the time. |
| CANTALLE won Immunity! Summer and Teio are sent to The Cabin. |
| As they arrive, Summer CCs that she has decided to lay low after what happened. The tribe agreed on letting her go to The Cabin when she suggested. A part of her wanted Immunity and another part of her wants to know who will leave while she is gone. Teio CCs that he didn't volunteer to go to The Cabin. In fact, he was very confident that he wasn't going home. So, when they chose him, it told him that he may not be needed by his alliance. Summer and Teio sits down. Summer says that they should not look for The Key and wait for more people to go to The Cabin. Teio agrees and says that nobody really knows who will go home at this point. Summer CCs that she could go home but she is taking the risk to last one more round. |
| On Samson, Sashie is talking with Alexis. She CCs that Alexis doesn't seem to be the same delusional monster from Season 12. She has really changed so she trusts her. Sashie says that the vote is up in the air now that Summer is gone. Alexis says that she was fine with her going as she will be targeted next anyway. Sashie is with Quentin. She tells him that she will vote out Summer next and, should his name come up, she will let him know. Quentin thanks her. Sashie CCs that her goal is to be the one everybody trusts. She'll let others make the moves right now. However, on her season, she didn't make a single notable move and she plans to change that in a couple of rounds. Alexis is with Shontelle. She tells her that Sashie can't be trusted. She is too friendly. She is too caring. In the end, nobody stands a chance against her so they need to take her out now. Shontelle CCs that she is Team "Anybody But Me" so she will vote however. Hayes, Sashie and David are in the shelter. David tells Sashie that Alexis wants her out and has been campaigning. Sashie is absolutely shocked. David CCs that he plans to choose his target later. In the meantime, he will pit others against each-other. Sashie says that she is really surpised. Hayes says that it's Survivor. He CCs that anybody can play whatever game they want. It's just a matter of numbers. This is a numbers game. Hayes is with Alexis at the water well. Alexis tells her that the majority is now voting for Sashie. Hayes says that he will vote for Sashie if that is what she wants. He CCs that something he's learned is that nobody really knows the truth on what is going on until the votes are read. Anybody can say whatever and claim whatever. |
| At Tribal Council ... Alexis is voted out. |

| (TITLE) |
| On Samson, as they head back to camp, Sashie CCs that Alexis just got the trust of the tribe and completely shattered it. She is shocked that things turned back around so quickly. Shontelle CCs that Summer and now Alexis have shown to be super untrustworthy. This just cements that she will only play for herself and ahe wont be loyal to a single person. |
| Opening Credits |
| On Cantalle, John and Teio are in the water. Teio says that they are only one season apart. He says that Season 10 was insane and he made a really stupid move so he is glad that he has redeemed himself so far. John says that he has completely changed how he wanted to play since Season 9. John CCs that, aside from Lily, he would say that Teio is becoming his other close ally. Teio CCs that he genuinely trusts John. They are both playing better games and he is one to give second chances. He says that he hopes for the same. Eutalia is with Matt, Michael and Martilla. She CCs that she has continued to lie about her season. They haven't seen it so why should she tell them all of the details? She says that she was on the bottom of an alliance and they all turned on her. It was about five of them and they felt more confident that they could go on without her so that is why she was eliminated so early. She did good in the challenge but the leader was an egomaniac who went not long after she did. She CCs that it has been a lot of fun making up details. If they feel sympathy, that works for her. Michael CCs that Eutalia went through a lot in her season. He feels for her. Matt CCs that he wants Eutalia to make jury this time, especially after going out fourth. Brynn is alone with Michael in the shelter. She says that she is starting to worry about being a goat at the end. She says that she doesnt want to be overshadowed. Michael says that there is plenty of time to build a resume. He CCs that he gets how Brynn feels. However, she may be slowly turning into Season 9 John. During a walk, Brynn CCs that she can not allow herself to be a goat. She needs to start making moves soon or she WILL be overshadowed. Lily is talking with Brynn and asks about blindsiding John Finn. Brynn says that she is open to it. Lily CCs that she doesn't know if she can trust John so she is looking into new ally options like Brynn. Brynn CCs that Lily could easily overshadow her so she isn't sure. Lily is talking with Eutalia. She says that they both know that John Finn is a wildcard. So, they should take him out before it gets too late. Eutalia says that she is good with coting out whoever. Lily CCs that what she is doing is a huge risk but if John wants to make a big move, she could be top of the list. |
| On Samson, David CCs that he knows he can't be comfortable right now. Nobody really knows what is going on but it is so easy to assume what is going on. Hayes and Sashie are in the water. Hayes says that David is, no doubt, one of the more trustworthy people on the tribe. Sashie agrees. Arliso and Quentin are at the water well. Arliso asks him about Shontelle. Quentin says that he trusts her. Arliso asks him about David. Quentin says that David seems really kind and trustworthy. David CCs that he has tried his best to be there for the others. Hopefully, they trust him at this point. Shontelle is with Quentin. She says that she wants to cause chaos. She wants to take down the big threats and get the two of them to the end together. Shontelle CCs that she trusts Quentin. He was right about Summer and he didn't need to tell her.' Quentin says that he is up for anything. He CCs that Shontelle will do whatever she puts her mind to. If she says that she wants him in the finals, he knows she is telling the truth. Shontelle is with Hayes. She says that people like David will get to the end and they will be massive jury votes. So, if David isn't targeted the moment they make merge, they are all idiots and deserve to lose. She CCs that she knows what she wants and David is somebody she wants out soon. She saw Season 9. |
| On Cantalle, John and Teio are in the shelter. John says that he would love to see the two of them and Lily in the Final 3 together. Teio says that he wouldn't mind that. John CCs that it would be a rough road ahead but if they made it to the finals together, that would be insane! Martilla and Janeane are together. They find a couple logs and make a makeshift teeter-totter. Martilla CCs that being on an island can be extremely boring so she asked Janeane to help her make something for the tribe. It looks horrible but it is better than nothing. Her and Janeane go up and down on the teeter-totter. Michael and Eutalia notice it. Janeane CCs that she knows people who can do better but they did the best they could and their best was below average. Eutalia comments that this looks painful. Michael offers to help fix it up. There is a small montage of them working on it and making it better. Michael CCs that this is the weirdest tribal bonding experience between both seasons for him. John is looking for an idol, CCing that something doesn't feel right. A part of him needs insurance. Lily notices John in the forest and follows after him, asking what he is doing. John lies, telling her that he plans to find the idol for the both of them. Lily CCs that she appreciates the gesture but, if he finds it, it may make taking him out a little harder. John CCs that people are going quiet when he approaches. He may be the target. After a while, John finds it, CCing that he is so happy that he found it! He is ecstatic! Back at camp, Eutalia is making a smiley face in the sand out of rocks. She CCs that a part of her is going crazy since she is doing two seasons back to back. She feels burnt out but she will absolutely fight to get as far as she can. Teio comes by and Eutalia calls this her zen garden and she absolutely needs this right now. Teio just nods his head, CCing that Eutalia is something else but he appreciates that. |
| At the Challenge Arena, Cornilio Roquez announces that everybody will be drawing from a bag. There will be three black rocks. Whoever gets a black rock will have to switch tribes and they can choose who to switch with. Matt, Michael, and Teio get the black rocks. |
| On Samson, everybody welcomes Matt, Michael and Teio. Michael CCs that a tribe swap may be a very bad thing for him. However, he is confident that he can make this work. Matt CCs that everybody turned upside down. He had a great alliance and he had a great strategy. Now, he isn't sure. Matt and Hayes are at the water well. Hayes says that, before he thinks so, there is no way the tribe swap has put anybody on the bottom. Matt hopes so and says that he wants to make the merge, especially after waiting so long before coming back and not doing so the first time. Matt CCs that he hopes Hayes is sympathetic and they can both bond over going pre-merge. Matt says that the both of them went out pre-merge so they can use eachother. Hayes CCs that he hasn't been trust loyal to anybody, even if he is close to Arliso and David. Matt is right. They could use each-other. |
| On Cantalle, David CCs that this was not good for him. Now, he needs to gain trust or more people. Although, this could be good for him in the merge. Everybody welcomes Arliso, David and Quentin. Quentin CCs that he is risking a lot and he doesn't know if he did a lot of damage to his game calling out Summer. To him, this is a new start just in case. Arliso CCs that he would be surprised if he made it past the new vote. He will just have to work double time on getting to know people. Eutalia has finished making another smiley face out of rocks in the sand. Janeane asks her what she is up to. Eutalia says that this is the second zen garden she has made and it would be best for the tribe if nobody messed with it cause the zen of the tribe would be off. Janeane just nods her head. Janeane is later at the water well with John, Martilla and Brynn. She says that she will be a number as long as she isn't voted out. If any of them want somebody out, they can rely on her. She CCs that she doesn't know if she is good with people or on the bottom. She really doesn't know and that worries her a lot. Janeane is with Arliso, saying that he can trust her 100%. She will vote out whoever he wants. Janeane CCs that she will do whatever it takes to get any target off of her back. Janeane is with Lily in the shelter and tells her that she will never vote her out. Lily says that, if they are true allies to each-other, she wants her to vote out John. She is thinking of throwing the challenge and getting him out. Janeane nods her head, CCing that people are throwing out names, which must mean that she is needed and not targeted. Lily CCs that she needs to throw this challenge and, hopefully, Janeane can help her. |
| On Samson, Hayes is alone in the shelter. He CCs that he has mainly been people watching over the past few days. Sashie comes by and starts cooking rice, asking Hayes how he is doing. Hayes says that he has been doing well, although the weather is incredibly hot. Sashie says that she was relaxing in the water earlier and recommends it today. Hayes CCs that he has an assessment of everybody here. Sashie is a very honest person. There is no way she would play a deceitful game. Summer, on the other hand, tried and failed to play a deceitful game and has now been playing under the radar. Harry is playing a social game. He is more focused on relationships and could easily allow a great player to get to the end due to loyalty. Matt seems focused on making the merge by any means necessary, judging by conversations. He doesn't think Matt would risk his position by playing hard. As for Michael and Teio, he guesses he doesn't know them well enough. Summer is in the shelter talking with Michael. She says that there is a lot that has happened on the tribe and she feels like it would be good if they made a move. Summer CCs that she thought about it and, even though she wants to play under the radar, she wants to shake the game up still. It's Season 18. She's here to play. Summer says that Hayes and Shontelle need to go. They both hold a lot of power. Summer CCs that she messed up big time with Shontelle and she doesn't think that she can patch things up. As for Hayes, he is connected to David and David is a massive threat. Summer tells Michael that, if they don't work together, they may go one after the other because she is on the bottom. Michael says that he's been on the bottom for a week now so he knows the feeling. He says that he will try and redirect the target if her name is brought up. Michael CCs that this is Summer Vila from Season 6. She is very trustworthy so if she says that somebody is in power, they are in power. Shontelle is in the water talking to Matt. She says that Summer will throw everybody under the bus. She is not Season 6 Summer. This is Season 18 Summer. Shontelle CCs that she can't have the new people trust Summer. Shontelle is in the shelter talking to Teio. She says that people like Summer and Harry will most likely want out anybody new. Maybe even Hayes. She CCs that she will throw everybody under the bus. She doesn't care. Teio says that a part of him wanted to get Matt out but he is good taking out Summer and Harry. Shontelle is with Matt at the water well. She says that he shouldn't trust anybody on the tribe, not even Teio as he already threw his name under the bus. Matt CCs that he doesn't know what to believe. Does Teio want him out? |
| SAMSON wins Immunity! Janeane and Sashie are sent to The Cabin! |
| At the cabin, Janeane CCs that her being voluntold to go to The Cabin does worry her. She has Immunity but she could be voted out if Sashie finds the Key first. As they sit down, Sashie says that she is glad that Janeane got a second chance after Season 9. Janeane thanks her and says that she was rooting for her during her season. Sashie CCs that Janeane is doing well for herself right now. She may have been voted out first but she got back in and must be doing well. |
| On Cantalle, David CCs that the people responsible for them losing are Lily and Eutalia. However, he doesn't know if taking out the people who lost them the challenge would be any good as they could go well in the next one. David is with Lily and Brynn. Lily says that John needs to go as he is dangerous, CCing that she threw the challenge just like she wanted. As David sits down with John, he CCs that he is on a new tribe and he can't be comfortable. So, if he can take the target off of himself, he will. David asks him about what he wants to do. He says that he trusts him, especially as he didn't actually betray him in Season 9. John says that he isn't sure right now but he is all for working together. David CCs that he doesn't know if he should tell John that Lily wants him out. He also doesn't know if he should vote out John. Lily is with Brynn and Martilla and says that John could easily overpower them. Brynn and Martilla are all for it with Martilla CCing that she isn't sure just yet. If it is between John and Lily, she has to think about who wanted her out around the Brad vote. Unfortunately, she doesn't have Michael or Teio on the tribe with her as she trusts those two the most. |
| At the cabin, Janeane and Sashie are hanging out. Janeane CCs that she needs Sashie to go to bed. Once she does, she will have to find the Key. A wall in the dining room is very, very suspicious. As Sashie heads to the bathroom, Janeane CCs that this is the perfect opportunity. Janeane looks at the wall and studies it, noticing something out of place, revealing a single line of clue that she deduces would lead to the shelf and a very specific book. Sashie walks back as Janeane heads to the kitchen to get herself a drink. Sashie CCs that the Key has been hidden since the day after Brad left. Just in case, her and Janeane should be on the same page. Sashie says that the Key could be in the Cabin but she trusts that the two of them could work together at the merge and they could just enjoy immunity and let somebody else find it. Maybe they could figure out who went to the Cabin on their tribes and then think of a strategy that way to keep themselves safe. Sashie CCs that this is the only thing she can think of doing. Janeane says that what she suggested is an amazing plan. |
| On Cantalle, Martilla is with Eutalia. She says that neither John or Lily have spoken with her much and they seem to be the main targets people want out. Eutalia says that she is good as long as it isn't her. Martilla says that she doesn't think John knows that Lily wants him out. Maybe she should say something. Martilla CCs that it is devious but she has to know who just wants her vote and who actually wants her on their side. Martilla is with John and tells him that Lily has been going around to herself, Brynn and even David about how he needs to go tonight. John is shocked and says that he wants to confirm this. Martilla says that, as long as her name isn't dropped, she is good. John CCs that this is news to him. If she is lying, he wants Martilla out tonight. John talks to Brynn and asks if Lily came up to her and asked her to vote him out. Brynn confirms it, CCing that somebody told him and may have thrown her under the bus. John talks with David and says that, according to others, Lily wants him out. David says that Lily approached him earlier and he thought it was weird. He was going to tell him soon but John just happened to come to him about it just now. David CCs that he will say whatever to keep John on his side right now. Brynn tells Lily that she is on her side but somebody told John about her campaigning. Lily says that John can't know as he has an idol! John approaches her and says that people are telling him that she wants him out. Lily says that she never said that and people just want them to turn on each-other. John CCs that Brynn, Martilla and David all said this. They could all be easily lying to him about it. |
| AT TRIBAL COUNCIL, Lily says that she doesn't know where the vote will end up and whispers to John that she wants Quentin out, not him. Quentin overhears and calls her out but Lily stands firm and says that Quentin is her target. Martilla says that this is not what she was telling people earlier, causing Lily to suggest the vote be changed to Martilla. Martilla asks "from John?", causing Lily to get flustered. Brynn admits that she plans to vote for John tonight, causing John to be shocked. Martilla says that her vote is for Lily. Lily is voted out. |
