Jeff Probst: “Previously on Survivor! When Sibu got back to camp, Lea was extremely angry and frustrated that her closest ally Shayla was blindesided. She exiled herself from the rest of the camp and later decided to quit the game, leaving her tribe in shock and Jordan thinking she was selfish for abandoning him and leaving when Shayla could still be there. At the reward challenge, Aoba was surprised by the elimination of Shayla and the quit of Lea. Kenny also went on to win the Reward Challenge against Alexis. At the Aoba camp, Matthew felt he had to do what he had do to get back in majority. He approached Kenny and Kayley and apologized to them which Kenny bought, but Kayley didn’t. On Sibu, Jordan, like Matthew, felt like he did what he had to do to get in majority. He felt his only decision was to flip Lisa and Rhameen against Alexis and Nicole. Rhameen thought it was a good idea, but Lisa wasn’t completely sold. At the Immunity Challenge, Aoba won the challenge unanimously and forced Sibu to visit their second consecutive Tribal Council. Jordan, still banking on Lisa and Rhameen to flip, felt uneasy heading into the vote. Before tribal, Lisa and Rhameen had a conversation about what they think is in their best interest, and ultimately, sided with Nicole and Alexis again to get Jordan out. 10 people are left. Who will be voted out tonight?”
Nicole: “You are my only friend and one of the only people here that likes me. I wish I could just ask what I’m doing wrong and change it because I’m tired of being a target.”
Alexis hugs Nicole
Alexis: “It’s fine. We have each other. That’s all we need. Forget them.”
The camera pans to Nicole and Alexis hugging. Alexis has her back turned away from the camera and Nicole mouths to the camera, “So stupid.”
Lisa: “If the tribes stay the same and we lose again, we’re either going to get Alexis to flip or we’re going to rocks. There is no way in hell I’m letting that girl get through one more tribal.”
The tribe carries on and heads out to the Reward Challenge.
~*REWARD CHALLENGE*~ Day 19
The tribes enter the Arena.
Jeff: “Come on in guys! Aoba, getting your first look at the Sibu tribe, Jordan voted out at the last tribal council.”
The tribe nods. Devin is surprised.
Jeff: “Devin, you are the only one on your tribe to look surprised. Why?”
Devin: “Well to be honest Jeff, that tribe sucks at anything physical and Jordan was one of their best challenge competitors. You’d think they’d want to keep the strong people around.”
Jeff: “Sibu, reaction?”
Lisa: “Let him think what he wants.”
Jeff: “O.K. For today’s challenge, one person from each tribe will be blindfolded. That person will move through obstacles to gather three bags of puzzle pieces. Once that person has collected all of their bags, they must complete a puzzle, still blindfolded. The first person that completes their puzzle wins the reward for their tribe. Want to know what you’re playing for?
All: “Yes.”
Jeff: “Well today it’s a surprise. It will be revealed after the winner is announced. Choose who you want to play.”
Aoba chooses Kayley and Sibu chooses Lisa.
Jeff signals them to go and they both start. Immediately, Lisa falls and struggles getting through the obstacles. Kayley quickly moves through them and gets her first bag very quickly. Lisa is still struggling and before she could get her first bag, Kayley set hers down and is heading back through the obstacle. The two drop off their bags at the same time.
Jeff: “Kayley has two bags, Lisa has one. Time to pick up the pace! This is a reward you would not want to lose!”
Kayley quickly picks up her third bag and heads back to her puzzle board. Lisa picks up the pace and gets her second bag after Kayley.
Jeff: “Kayley start the puzzle!”
Lisa drops off her second bag and heads back for her third.
Jeff: “Kayley gets her first piece! 9 more to go!”
Lisa gets her third bag and starts on her puzzle.
Jeff: “Both women starting on their puzzle! And Kayley has found her second piece! Oh and now her third! Kayley is in the lead!”
Kayley catches a quick lead, but Lisa catches up.
Jeff: “It’s tied! Both girls have 5 pieces. This will be a tight race.”
Both tribes are screaming.
Jeff: “Both girls get two pieces! It’s 7 to 7.”
Jeff: “Both girls get another two pieces! The next piece wins it!”
.

Jeff: “Lisa drops her piece! Kayley wins reward for Aoba!”
The Aoba tribe screams. Lisa moans.
Jeff: “Congratulations Aoba! Want to know what you’ve won?”
Aoba: “Yes!”
Jeff: “First, let me ask some questions. Joseph, coming into today’s challenge, were you expecting something?”
Joseph: “Well, we were all kind of expecting a merge.”
Jeff: “Kayley… a merge?”
Kayley: “Yeah we were hoping it was a merge.”
Jeff: “Well, it’s funny you say that… drop your buffs. We actually are merging!”
Everyone cheers and drops their buffs. Jeff passes out royal blue buffs to everyone.
Jeff: “Now back to the reward. Kayley, what you did win is something big, but it’s not for your tribe, it’s for you.”
Jeff uncovers the table and reveals a piece of paper.
Jeff: “This is for you and only you. Read it in private and bring it to the next Immunity Challenge.”
Kayley gets up and grabs the piece of paper.
Jeff: “As for the rest of you, something’s waiting for you back at the Aoba camp, congratulations.”
Everyone cheers and walks to the Aoba camp.
~*MERGED TRIBE*~ Day 19
The new tribe walks in and notices how messy the tribe is
The tribe spots the huge feast laid out for them and decides to dig in. While eating, they are figuring out what they’re going to call their new tribe.
Kenny: “What if we found a way to combine all of our names?”
Nicole: “Yeah that sounds fun! How should we do it?”
The tribe gathers the first letters of their names and tries to make something out of it.
Kayley: “So, us three and Joseph are against Matthew right?”
Devin and Alexander both nod.
Kayley: “Well I’ve been thinking… what if I have a plan to get him out that is full-proof?”
Alexander: “I’m all ears.”
Kayley: “What if I tell my old allies Lisa and Alexis that he tried to flip on me and Kenny to get us out? They’re all for loyalty and trust so they’d be completely for getting him out.”
The three head back with wood. At the same time, Kenny and Matthew are talking about future plans while getting water for the tribe.
Kenny: “I’m going to be honest here. You’re my number one. Kayley’s been really sketchy lately and has been breaking off from us and attaching herself onto the three guys.”
Matthew: “She doesn’t like me. I can tell by the way she talks to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s gunning for me this tribal.”
Kenny: “We need to start talking to old Aoba and Nicole.”
Matthew: “Yeah, let’s wait a day or two. Doing it today would be a little off-putting. Let’s just take a day off to relax.”
Kenny: “Yeah, I agree.”
Kenny and Matthew return back to camp only for Kayley to want to pull Kenny away.
Kayley: “It’s fine just relax. Do you trust Matthew?”
Kenny: “Yes Kayley. I thought we established this.”
Kayley: “O.K. but there are only a certain amount of people in this game and a certain amount of people to make it to the end. We need people who are sketchy out. Just listen. Matthew knows we flipped on him and Rosie. He could easily tell Alexis and Lisa and get this against us in a heartbeat.”
Kayley: “Well, you guys know how you two, Rosie, Matthew, and I had a final five?”
They both say yes.
Kayley: “Well, the reason Rosie went home was because Matthew flipped to the guys alliance.”
Alexis: *gasp* “What? Do you know why?”
Kayley: “He still won’t tell us. Kenny’s been hanging out with him trying to get information, but he won’t budge. He turned his back on us, so we should take the knife out of our back and put it into his. I just wanted to let you guys know that.”
Alexis: “Oh my gosh, so that’s why she’s gone? That’s awful. And he won’t even tell you why he did it?.”
Kayley: “Not one word. Me and Kenny have been trying forever.”
Lisa: “Man. That sucks. I thought he would be loyal. I guess he thought the guys would give him protection.”
Kayley walks off into the woods and reads her note. It says that she will have a big advantage at the next Immunity Challenge. She has the opportunity to force one player to sit out of the challenge. If she doesn’t want to force someone to sit out, the she will have an advantage in the challenge.
Alexander: “I just thought of a crazy idea. What if we get all the guys together and take out the girls?”
They look at each other and smile.
Alexander: “Think about it. Us 3 with Matthew, Kenny, and Rhameen would make a huge force to be reckoned with. Those 4 girls obviously have something going on. We should take the first swing.”
The guys are all still talking about their alliance.
Matthew: “Since we’re all solid, we have one goal and that’s to make Kayley feel as safe as possible. We don’t want that girl finding out she’s in any type of danger. Especially with that note she got at the reward. Lord knows what that is.”
Alexander: “I agree 100%. Imagine what she’d do if she gets a clue she’s going.”
The boys split up and tribe life goes on as usual.
~*IMMUNITY CHALLENGE*~ Day 21
Jeff: “Come on in guys!”
The new Makarni Jokalda tribe enters.
Jeff: “Welcome to your first Individual Immunity challenge!”
Jeff takes back the old immunity idol and reveals the immunity necklace.
Jeff: “This is what you want now. If this is around your neck, you will be safe from the vote at tribal. I suggest you try to win this. Now, before we start the challenge, Kayley, you won the note at the reward challenge. Pull it out and read what it says.
Kayley reads the note.
Jeff: “So, what is your decision?”
Kayley: “Well Jeff, originally, I was going to use this against Matthew and make him sit out, but I don’t think that would be the best decision considering what happened yesterday.”
Kenny looks confused.
Jeff: “What do you mean?”
Kayley: “Just some enlightening stuff. That’s all.”
Devin smiles.
Jeff: “So Kayley, taking the advantage in the immunity challenge. I’ll explain. With one hand, you guys will hang on to a rope with several knots tied into it. The rope will be tied to one end of a heavy log. The other end of the log will be connected to a pivot point on a platform that you will stand on. You will start at the knot closest to the end of the log. Every five minutes, you will change hands and move one knot further down the rope. This will increase the angle of the log at the pivot point and increase the weight that you will have to hold. The castaway who holds on to the rope the longest wins. Kayley, with your advantage, you will not have to start until the others move down one knot hold. We’ll draw for spots.”
Jeff signals them to begin. Lisa and Joseph noticeably begin to struggle.
Jeff: “Three minutes into this challenge and already some struggle.”
.
.
.
.
.
Jeff: “Joseph falls and is out of this challenge.”
Joseph: “Darn it.”
Jeff: “30 more seconds and you move down and Kayley joins in.”
.
.
.
.
.
Jeff: “And just before we switch, Lisa drops!”
Jeff: “O.K. everyone move down and Kayley grab onto the first knot.”
Everyone is readjusting
Jeff: “And Kenny’s knots slip through his hands! He is out of this challenge!”
Kenny: “****”
Jeff: “Kayley, Nicole, Rhameen, Matthew, Alexis, Devin, and Alexander still in this challenge; Nicole and Alexander looking a bit uncomfortable.”
Nicole readjusts her hands and drops her log.
Jeff: “And Nicole is out of this challenge!”
Jeff: “O.K. Time to switch knots.”
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
While switching knots, Alexander and Matthew drop their logs.
Jeff: “Just like that, Alexander and Matthew are out of the running!”
Matthew: “That was impossible.”
Jeff: “Four are left. Kayley, Rhameen, Alexis, and Devin.”
Jeff: “How are you feeling Alexis?”
Alexis: “Fine and dandy.”
Jeff laughs.
Jeff: “Kayley, do you think you made the right decision with taking the advantage?”
Kayley: “It didn’t even matter because the person I wanted to lose already did.”
Matthew shakes his head.
Jeff: “Well then. It’s time to move onto the final knot. After this, it’s a waiting game.”
Everyone transitions.
Alexis: “Oh gosh this one isn’t easy.”
Jeff: “Alexis almost misses her knot, but recovers!”
Jeff: “Everyone but Rhameen looks very uncomfortable.”
Kayley: “I can’t.”
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Jeff: “Kayley drops! Three are left.”
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Alexis drops.
Jeff: “Oh no! Two are left! Who will it be? Rhameen or Devin?”

Jeff: “Devin drops! Rhameen wins the first individual immunity!”
Rhameen claps.
Jeff: “Rhameen, come and get it. *places necklace around Rhameen’s neck.* Rhameen is safe at tonight’s tribal council. Everyone else, got nothing for you. See you tonight.”
Matthew and the guys gather for a quick chat. They all think that they should spend the rest of the day talking to the girls and making them think Matthew is gone.
Everyone enters Tribal and sets their torches down. Jeff begins to ask questions.
Jeff: “So, how have you been enjoying your new tribe so far Lisa?”
Lisa: “It’s been pretty good I guess. When we first got there the camp was a mess. But what would you expect from a tribe of 5 guys and a girl?”
Everyone laughs
Jeff: “Alexis, coming into this game would you have expected to make merge?”
Alexis: “Oh my gosh no. I thought I would be really bad at the challenges and my tribe would vote me out for that, but I’d say I haven’t been too bad at them.”
Jeff: “Devin, what about you? Did you expect to make merge?”
Devin: “Yeah I was pretty confident I would make merge. I mean look at me. I am a huge asset to challenges obviously, and I’m not as stupid as I look either.”
Everyone smiles.
Jeff: “What about drama? Any craziness yet Kayley?”
Kayley: “I would say that Jeff. Coming into the merge, I was in a pretty good spot I’d like to think. I had a great friendship in Kenny and Joseph. I was pretty confident I wasn’t too big of a target, but it all changed yesterday.”
Jeff: “How did it change?”
Kayley: “Well, I noticed all day that all of the guys were either huddled up together at the camp or off in the jungle. The entire day all of the girls were just left alone and ignored.”
Matthew rolls his eyes.
Jeff: “Have anything to say Matthew?”
Matthew: “Yeah I do. Kayley, don’t go acting like you’re little miss innocent. The entire day when we merged you were off having secret conversations with everyone in the entire f****** game! It’s fine when you talk in private but when someone else does it it’s a problem? Just shut up you look stupid.”
Kayley: “I look stupid?”
Kayley reaches into her bag and puts the Hidden Immunity Idol around her neck.
The girls are covering their mouths in shock. Matthew is biting his lip.
Kayley: “Want to call me stupid again?”
Kayley smirks.
Jeff: “Kenny, what do you have to say?”
Kenny: “Well… I don’t really know what to say to that. I mean… I for sure didn’t know she had an idol.”
Kayley: “No one knows I had an idol but me. And after tonight, I won’t have an idol because I’m playing it tonight.
Matthew sucks in his cheeks.
Alexander is whispering to Joseph and Devin, “change the vote.”
Nicole and Alexis laugh.
Jeff: “Nicole, what are your thoughts?”
Nicole: “I think this is funny. Kayley obviously just changed up their votes.”
Jeff: “Matthew, what do you have to say?”
Matthew: “I don’t.”
Kayley smiles.
Jeff: “And with that, it’s time to vote.”
Everyone gets up and votes.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Kayley holds up her vote that says Matthew, “You’re the idiot to go against me. Have fun on jury.”
Jeff tallies the votes.
Jeff: “If anyone has a Hidden Immunity Idol and wants to play it, not would be the time to do so…”

Jeff: “And the sixth person voted out of Survivor: Futuna and the first member of the jury, Matthew. Please bring me your torch.”
Matthew gets up and grabs his torch. Kayley waves at Matthew. The girls all laugh.
Jeff: “Matthew, the tribe has spoken. *Snuffs torch.* Matthew, time for you to go.*
Matthew waves and heads out.
Jeff: “I’m assuming the person that left tonight was someone no one was expecting. This merge started off on a strange foot, and this is only the beginning. Head back to camp, goodnight.
(Exit Interview) Matthew: “That was a shock. Kayley pulled a fast one on everyone and no one saw it coming. I don’t have any regrets at all. I played the game to the best of my ability and that’s all I can ask for. I hope to see Kayley on the jury soon.”

- Two old rivalries reemerge.
Cool down episode for Nicole. I hope she proceeds to shine like the STAR SHE IS.
Kayley is awful in every way from her appearance to her conduct. #CRUCIFYKAYLEY
I'm a little sad to see Matthew go, since I would have loved to see Matthew/Kenny/Lisa/Alexis/Rhameen get back together and use Nicole's vote to have given them a majority.
Anyways, but GREAT EPISODE, I loved it, and I'm not going to miss Matthew.
