Previously on Survivor winners:
In Bula Bula, Brian tried an about face with his tribe mates after blowing up on Earl. But Jenna wasn't buying it.
At Samburu, Tom realized his days were likely numbered and focused his attention on winning the immunity challenges.
Tom got his wish as Sambutu won their 2nd immunity challenge. Brian scrambled to save himself but it was much too little too late and he was voted out.
15 are left who will be voted out tonight?
As the episode begins at Bula Bula camp, the tribe members begin to express how they feel united after voting out Brian and they feel like there better off. Meanwhile, Bob sensing he could be in danger if they lose another Immunity challenge becomes convinced there is a hidden immunity idol somewhere on the Bula Bula camp, even if there was no clue given.
At the reward challenge Samburu gets there first look at the new Bula Bula minus Brian there are some surprised faces. The reward challenge is moving large multiple faced blocks into a pyramid to make the survivor logo. Samburu sits out Natalie. Bula Bula wins reward which is a feast of fruit, drinks, and meats. At the reward Jenna is able to find a clue to the hidden immunity idol but back at camp, Bob is able to beat her to it and find the idol even without any clues.
At Samburu, Tom officially approaches Rich about allying. Tom tries to convince him by saying that Parvati and Todd are schemers and they can't be trusted while Tom, JT and Tina are trust worthy and he would have an almost guaranteed final 5 deal if he brings along Natalie with the plan. Rich says he can't make any promises but he says it makes sense, and the only way to get Parvati out my be to blindside her.
The immunity challenge is a mock sumo wrestling 1 on 1 challenge where the first tribe to win 4 battles will win immunity. The 1st battle is Parvati vs. Jenna Winner Jenna Bula Bula 1-0. Battle 2 Aras vs. Todd winner Aras. 2-0 Bula Bula. Battle 3 Tom vs. Earl winner Tom Bula Bula 2-1 Battle 4 Rich vs. Ethan winner Ethan 3-1. Battle 5 Yul vs. Danni winner Yul Bula Bula 3-2. Battle 6 Natalie vs. Sandra winner Natalie Score is tied 3-3. Next battle is for immunity JT vs. Bob Bob wins immunity for Bula Bula!
At Samburu camp, Parvati and Todd agree that it's open and shut to eliminate Tom. They believe they should easily have 5 votes between Parv, Todd, Yul, Rich, and Natalie.
Rich approaches his ally Natalie about the idea of axing Parvati. Natalie says she is good either way, Rich said eliminating Parvati will establish themselves as the power duo in the game but he wonders if eliminating his ally this early in the game really make sense.
At tribal Jeff asks JT how this game has been differen from the other two that he played. JT says hes trying to find the right balance in the 1st game he played the nice guy approach that won him the money, in HVV he tried to be overly strategical and it cost him. So in this he is trying to find the right mix between the two that will enable him to further himself in the game. Jeff then asks Parvati if she feels in any danger at tonights tribal, she says she would be surrpised if it was her time tonight but not shocked, "its survivor everyone here is a winner, everyone knows how to play, you never know whats going to happen".
