Hope we have a good episode.

Any idea what happened to Sheldor ?

He said something about work, I think....he mentioned it in one thread, I will try and find it! So happy you are here!

Previously...

This Roime guy is playing aggressive and hard and he is causing a whole lot of ruckus....

they agree to play the amulets together, see Andy, teeny

Sierra wanted to keep Anika, he wants Andy, they have to decide what to do.

see Anika go in shock.

night at Gata, see a snake

No wone will say S47 is boring

Andy says it was wonderful, blindside city. His plan came together exactly how he wanted it to go, Rachel was so confident, now she's on the bottom

Sierra apologizes to her. Rachel says she is not mad, we are playing S. Sam says we really want to play S with you. Andy says I felt that she put a wedge between us, she wanted me out

Rachel: it felt like a big betrayal, bad reality to be at the bottom of the tribe.
Sam and Sierra talk, they didn't play the HII, and it wsas the last TC it was good for, chose to not use it as Andy doesn't know he has it, will use it as a decoy down the road, and have fun with it.

Andy and Rachel talk...
Rachel is at her rock bottom game she needs more pathways, she wants the merge to come needs a lifeline

cut to intro

Gabe is still not at the merger so maybe he doesn't graduate. However, he and his original tribe mates have the home field advantage in finding that advantage.

Next day...Gata day 11

boat arrives. I see a boat...He's coming! hands the a letter, it's not a journey. Day 11 and the game is abut to change, the angels were singing to me this morning, now an entire beach of new people the lifeline I desperately need, use the lessons I've learned and use it as rocket fuel to get farther

Red tribe, you have 10 minutes to collect your things
Teeny: every S player wants to make it drop your buffs, so nervous about my game, very excited to go and find a new home

Tuku, blue, drop your buffs, they jump up and down

Gabe: I was somebody that wanted to etch my lega\cy in stone, at the merge is S high school that is where the big dogs graduate. they are coming here.
Sue: when I found out they were coming here, I knew they would look. in our bags, then we see Sue trying to clean off her idol that is soaked in red, hears a boat...

they arrive

Tyannea: Not enough words to describe how excited I am....walking up the beach I see a sign,

read with all tribunates together, tomorrow you will compete in a challenge to see who makes the merge, there is a hii hidden somewhere, go and find it....GO! And they all take off

LAST EDITED ON 10-23-24 AT 08:13 PM (EST)

I thought the note read advantage for the challenge, no?

ETA: I went back and saw it was an advantage.

It was for the advantage!

I didn't catch if it was an advantage or an idol they have to go and find?

The challenge tomorrow will determine who makes the merge and who may not....hmmm. Hidden somewhere is an advantage to help, be the first to find it, GO!

We all take off says Rachel, this place is massive, a needle in a haystack.
Kyle lost his vote on a journey so an advantage would be nice for me.
girl that I don't even know says there should be some internal compass...they see a body, seen a couple of those floating around says Sam, the idiot, the clue is attached to it

Andy wants to socialize with the new peeps
Sue and Sol talk about 42 and 45, we look good. So doesn't want to put a target on his back but he wants it. We are chilling at the camp right now, but we have work to do , go and find it

Sierra spies blood, red paint...alot of red. it's all over this area says Sam, then there are some pottery pieces saturated with red paint. Rom finds something, a huge pot with a bunch of red paint. Then see Sue finding the red pottery paint

When a girl sees the red pot, I think of Sue, she found the idol, and I will keep her secret no matter what

Sue: When I found out they found the red pot, feel like a criminal the cops are coming and it will lead to me. I need to keep my mouth shut right now and see how it plays out

Genievieve: she still wants to check something, wants to check the red buoy out in the water, it has to mean something. she's talking, she's swimming, this is a random buoy, then she sees something is attached to it, OMG, I finally found something....

Sam is screaming, it was the buoy, Sam was kicking himself

earned the advantage, reveal to Jeff at challenge where your advantage will be revealed.

Tiyana: a few days ago Caroline and I found Sue covered in red stuff. See Caroline and Sue go off...Caroline tells her that she is so happy that she found the idol. I see that Tyanna knows too, she is the middle person that I don't trust and if I have to chop her head off to protect myself, I will, says Sue.

Sue is putting a target on my selection, Tiyana. Go Sue!

Did i tell you that I like Genevieve a lot? Ever since she turned the tables on Kishan, I've had my eyes on her.

she played a rousing game of "Where's Waldo" during the challenge...

I don't get what you mean though. Maybe because I'm not really familiar with Waldo!! Was it her shirt?

Yah, it was her red-and-white striped shirt that really stuck out while everyone else was completely covered in mud. Waldo had a red-and-white shirt while hidden in crowds in the books.

Hi Pepe! That is hysterical, crossed my mind as well! LOL

....will she be the boot or the boot decoy? She was all over the promos, so I'm not surprised she's in the cross hairs.

Merge beach, day 12.

They look at a rain bow. See Sue and Rome talking. Rome: I am trying to get as much info as possible, info is key, they are able to trust someone with some info.

Last night, Kyle let way too many names fly out of his mouth. He said that Sam could win this game easily, which lady are you Mose threatened by, Tiyanna. Also, Caroline and Sue, not good at challenges and writing them off. So with that info I go to Sue and tell her.

The more info I have like that the more I can warn people, and if they feel I am the one giving info, then they will keep me around.

Sue now wants to target Kyle first

then see Rome telling Sam that Kyle is most threatened by him, then he goes to Tyanna and tells her what he said,
Tiyanna says Kyle is one of my closest allies, so I am shocked, that doesn't feel right. See Tiyanna go to talk to Andy and Sol, and Sol tells them that that is how Rome plays this game, whenever you talk to Rome you need to fact check this stuff.

Sol tells Kyle what Rome did. Kyle says that He was the one that said Tiyanna was the biggest threat. What a d!ck he says, he's fixing to squish him like a bug. He tells them all that he mixed it all up. Sue tells him that Sue and Caroline were threats, that they had a mother/daughter relationship...Rome rearranged the words and told them all, now they are all comparing notes and the target becomes Rome.

I wrote that title before because the algorithm suggested as soon as I began writing it!

It didn't take long for Rome to replace Tiyana as the first target ! What a dumb@ss.

....went from Tiyanna, then to Kyle, now it's seemingly squarely on Rome. Please let it be Rome!

Day 12

Challenge arena.

looks like a big obstacle course ending in a puzzle on a tall platform

Individual portion of this game.

typically you compete in physically and mentally challenging challenge. where you get your buffs, etc. with a twist. Still going to divide into 2 teams of 6, winning team will earn a meal, but not a merge meal. winning six move on to compete eagainst each other to win indiv'l immunity. That is the only one that gets their buff, one will be safe, 12 will not.

Advantage, Genivieve says it went well for me. Works: Do not have to participate in first grueling challenge, you will go right to the top 6 and get meal

race through, use grappling hook, get to steep ramp, get all up, get the ball int he table maze to land it in the hole. First team of 6 will win.

doing a random draw for captains who will do a school yard pick.

yellow: Sierra Rachel sam sue Kyle and teeny
blue: rome Caroline Andy Gabe sol and tiyanna

go

sam and Kyle first under the mud to the mat.....boys are out first next Sierra and Rachel. Of course Andy took a long time for blue

rome took a long time to get out for blue too

sue is out

over and through the wood chips, Kyle is through quickly, now sam for yellow, sam whipping thought,
Andy is through

sue on yellow is the worst

yellow moving first, but they are close, removing jungle debris to get a big bag containing a ball, need to retrieve it. yellow has the bag hooked needs to get it up. get it up and over

sam has it over

blue next

now six players down the slide yellow working together, then blue

yellow has the ball, blue next has theirs

Gabe is up the rope to the top

Kyle is up teeny no way can get up, sol is up for blue

Sue didn't make it. yellow trying to put sand bags up to climb up, Iyanna is up...

Sierra is up

Blue is up way ahead of the yellow tribe.

blue is on the table maze

now they are all up. Sam and Kyle on maze for yellow.

Rome and Gabe on maze for blue. (no way that will work...)

blue has crazy jerky moves. Rome is making the jerky moves

yellow doing well. There are no swap outs says Jiffy

blue is catching yellow

yellow is taking there time. Blue in the lead, blue drops and yellow wins!

What a finish within inches of each other. See Gabe throw something, really mad

Sam, Kyle, Teeny, Sue, Sierra, and Rachel plus Genivieve will compete for the last part of the challenge to win indiv'l immunity.

Sue says this was exhausting now have to compete again for indiv'l immunity.

Why did jiffy have to tell Yellow that they could use the sand bags to serve as a ladder? Blue was working that slide very well but Jiffy negated their advantage...And I say this despite pulling for yellow which had more of my favorites.

Kyle, Sam, Teeny, Sue, Rachel, Sierra, and Genivieve will compete in part 2.

They will eat later the afternoon. All you care about right now is this part 2 of the challenge. If you win, immunity and you will get the merge buff.

stand on narrow beam, while balancing ball on a curved wooden frame. when ball drops or you drop, you are out.

we've seen this challenge before.

everyone is in first position, place the ball on the bow. center it and he will start the challenge. be in this action for 5 minutes. Genivieve is struggling already.
Sierra drops first one out. Sam is out next

Rachel is moving. Jiffy says do not lose your concentration. Sue, Kyle, Genivieve, Rachel, teeny still in it.

they are complaining it's so hot. they move down to a more narrow plank to stand on, and they start. teeny with movement.
Genivieve is struggling.

Rachel is out, down to four

genievieve is out

down to three....Sue, Kyle, Teeny. teeny looked at sue and she dropped.

Kyle vs sue, sue's is moving. Kyle is a rock. they both make it to the final round. Move down to final section narrow plank.

challenge on. Sue is moving already. Sue making saves left and rightkyle is moving now.

sue drops and Kyle wins!

they will all enjoy food this afternoon. Kyle gets the IN, a very large bat necklace. And the new buff, it's purple.

First to earn the merge.

feels really good, anyone that knows me understands that I am here for my family and my kids.

Kyle and the other 6 go to enjoy a meal at a separate part of camp. the others will be somewhere else wondering what is going on.

Kyle: I am the first merged member huge checkmark! I have a pretty good idea of who the picture is getting painted of, see Rome walking.

The merger used to be an episode where we get the most interactions between the players but here we had a search for the advantage and a 30 minute challenge.

day 12, they walk to the food!

Sam: walking into the feast is like Thanksgiving and the football is about ready to kick off. craving charcueterie, he sees it. I know right away I will make myself sick and I am okay twith that.

Sam tries a pineapple for the first time.

Teeny is waiting to talk about who to vote off.

They all talk about Rome.

Kyle: I don't have a vote tonight but Rome has got to go,he's a rat.

Sam: my concern is that I would be good if there was a second name? says sam

and someone mentions Andy....
Sierra has conf: we've been working with him the whole game but if it's Andy it's Andy, says Sam

the losers talk

Gabe: as opposed to previous eras, we are all on the chopping block tonight, exciting and scary.

Andy: this thruway amulet between Caroline, teeny and me. we get these off of our hands, play tonight.

Sol and tiyallna and Andy, I tihnikk everyone wants Rome.
Sol says he is a pain in my A$$, to have a chance to take out the rome show, feels like Christmas morning.

Rome: the second Kyle won IN, now need a new plan, so guess who I want out of this game, I used one little thing that Sol said today. Says Sol made him feel like a little person at the challenge, I already have problems of being a little person, Rome sheds a tear, Sol has been making me feel bad. Rome says he wants to play on their emotions.

Andy tells Sol that Rome is putting the target on his back, Sol is not surprised, the one thing I have going with me is that Romes ego is gigantic, and it's getting bigger.

Rome: tonight we need 7 votes to bet Sol out of the game. also three amulets, the only crazy thing I can see is that Caroline and others play it on Sol.

Genevieve:

See Rome telling Sam the plan is sol.
He tells Teeny and Genevieve serparately

Rome says in conf that he is corralling everyone I am a bit of a mastermind

Gen and Caroline and teeny Tianna talk, it's rome.

Sam tells sol he would rather keep Sol than Andy.

Rome: eating, I will be feasting on Sols bones tonight.

Gen, teeny, sam, Rachel agree - Rome

Rome is running off at the mouth in conf about how wonderful he is sorry Sol, you will be out...

I don't think that, since Rodger during Season SIX, we have seen a huger set-up to get the guy that was thinking he was 100% in charge of everything. Survivor is always better when it's FUNNY!!

They didn't even bother hiding the votes! In a sense, Rome was funny but way too much. He left with a lot of class.

I think Rachel, Teeny, and Andy plan to play the amulet tonight just to get rid of it. I think they are ALL voting Rome. Rome will vote Sol. Good riddance. BUT, could it be that predictable?

They arrive at TC

See Tiyanna, Sol, then Rome

Let's talk about the twist. Only one is safe at the merge vote....Andy says there is just this insecurity a little bit. everyone is playing this little tango.
Rome: well it's only been a little over 24 hours to get used to each other, really need to build trust, don't ruffle feathers, stick to the plan
Kyle: no stress, see many walk off together, they are trying to fact check.
SoL yesterday there was an advantage, we all looked for one minute, ...
Rome: is it possible advantages are becoming disadvantages. Rome tells Jiffy that the three people that have the amulets will be getting rid of them tonight.

Rome goes to Jiffy's area and he says when you go on the journey, we all know you have something. basically he says if we get rid of it then they cannot target the other two people....
Rome is close to tears that he got to play Jiffy for a second. Would love to be your protege one day says Rome. We'll talk later

Gabe: let's talk about the deviousness about a blindside. Gabe says when it comes to blindsides, not important for me to be the architect, just be one the right side of it.
Andy says blindsid\ing Anika was the most fun out here. my name was in her mind from day one.

Rachel: everyone says this is where the game starts, at th emerge.
Andy: every single day out here is an adventure, when you think of your identity out here, oh I am a pre-merger, etc.

Andy votes Rome. Speaks in German

Tiyanna votes Rome.
SAm: they say rome wasn't built in a day, but your game was destroyed in one.
Teeny votes Rome
Rome: don't want Sol in the jury has he cannot stand me, he voted Sam

Vote tally:

Rachel Andy Teeny stand up to play their amulets. the would love to play their amulet for Teeny. And they do. Teeny is immune

Sam
Andy
Andy
Rome
Rome
Rome
Rome
Rome
Rome

Rome is out. Good game. Wow. Just want to say thank you all for the experience, live out the dream, don't need to worry about nothing, I appreciate you! He gets a hug from Jiffy. All love to you all! Appreciate you all.

Teeny pats Sol on the back.

Jiffy says I have something for you and throws them the bag of buffs. Congrats!

Well at least Rome was not a sore loser!

I wonder who the two Andy votes were from?

NTOS:

See Andy and Sol shaking hands at night....we get rid of Gata (one of them says)
See a random shot of Sam at night
Andy in conf at night: I need to take control. If they are going to come for me I need to get them first.

Sierra at camp says to Rachel, Teeny, Tiyanna: We Gotta get a boy out
Teeny in conf: We are going to eat all the men...

a girl wearing a yellow tank top with dark hair says something to Gabe, Can I hug you? and he says of course, and hugs her...and makes a face
Gabe later in conf: These people are tools for me to use.
See Sol walking in the jungle
Sol in conf: No one knows what I am about to pull

See him laughing....huh hoooo

Sue and Sol voted for Andy, everyone else voted Rome, Rome voted Sam
