Every one of the 24 returning castaways hit the beach ready for redemption or to retain their title. The 24 fierce competitors were divided into four tribes: Arataba, Bairuti, Oki, and Tiriato. Immediately, JB sent them into their first immunity challenge, where the losing tribe would face tribal council on the first night. Having to work together on the spot, Arataba, Bairuti, and Tiriato succeeded, while Oki lost and were facing a vote on their way to camp. At camp, a 4-way alliance formed between Ashton, Aulani, KK, and Norm, deeming them the four strongest people of the tribe. In the end, the vote came down to Nikia & Sofia, and Nikia was the first all-star to leave the game. The next day, Aulani was beginning to doubt the alliance slightly, but kept quiet. On Arataba, spirits were high, as Brian & Stone formed a final two alliance. On Bairuti, Aria & Natalie were looking to gain control of their tribe, pitting the two women against each other and the others to pick sides. On Tiriato, Kyle & Matt began a bromance, as others kept a close eye on them. At the immunity challenge, JB announced that only two tribes would win immunity, and the other two would face the vote. Arataba & Tiriato escaped the vote, as Bairuti and Oki, again, would face the vote. At Oki, Aulani was having doubts, but as soon as Sofia spread her name, she stuck with her alliance to vote Sofia out. On Bairuti, Aria & Natalie were vying for everyone's votes, and in the end, the tribe decided to keep Aria for her strength and oust Natalie.
Voted for NIKIA: Ashton, Aulani, KK, Norm, Sofia
Voted for SOFIA: Nikia
Voted for SOFIA: Ashton, Aulani, KK, Norm
Voted for AULANI: Sofia
Voted for NATALIE: AJ, Aria, Blaine, Michael, Morgan
Voted for ARIA: Natalie
Episode 2: Pick Your Poison
Back at camp, Aria was relieved that her enemy was gone, and the rest of the tribe rejoiced as well. The next day however, a shock was given to them. The tribes would be reshuffled, and immunity was fought for, as well as tribe captaincy. Aria won for Bairuti, Coldan won for Arataba, and Matt won for Tiriato. They picked through a snake draft, and here are the new tribes:
However, the tribes could not rest after that. An immunity challenge immediately followed the captaincy reward challenge, and the losing tribe would go to tribal council that evening. The stakes were high, but in the end, Arataba & Bairuti claimed immunity. Tiriato was sent back to camp with an important decision on their hands. Kara & Kyle's feud from Guys vs. Girls trickled into Tiriato, as they both targeted themselves for the vote. Aubree & Norm bonded from their past season and sided with Kara. Matt sided with Kyle from being on the original Tiriato, which meant Brian & Stone, who had made a final two on the original Arataba, were the swing votes. They agreed to side with Kyle and send Kara out the door in the season's first blindside.
Voted for KARA: Brian, Kyle, Matt, Stone
Voted for KYLE: Aubree, Kara, Norm
Episode 3: All-Star Serious
Back at Tiriato, Norm & Aubree were shocked at the vote, and Kyle was happy that Kara's torch was snuffed. At the new Arataba, Blaine, Michael, and Morgan agreed to stick together from being on the original Bairuti. As did Aulani & Ashton from being original Okis. Coldan & Tae were also a tight duo, and the Arataba pie was split into three. At Bairuti, Aria, London, and Melina brought Sedona into an all-girl alliance. Aria, London, and Melina were salivating over the idea as they had been in estrogen-powered alliances in their original seasons. However, Sedona was still on the fence about the idea. At the reward challenge, Arataba won fishing gear. Arataba used the fishing gear to get some much-needed protein. Arataba's high spirits led them to another victory as well as Tiriato, meaning Bairuti would face tribal. With Aria immune from being voted out and suspecting a girls alliance, the guys targeted London, and tried to sway Sedona as their fourth vote. The girls were targeting AJ, as he was considered to be the weakest guy in the tribe. Sedona knew she was the swing vote, and in the end, she sided with the ladies and voted AJ, a past sole survivor, out.
Voted for AJ: Aria, London, Melina, Sedona
Voted for LONDON: AJ, Khris, KK
Episode 4: Just a Damn Chicken
At Bairuti, Khris & KK knew they were outnumbered and in trouble. Immunity would be the only way they could stay in the game. At the reward challenge, the tribes were quizzed on their JB Survivor trivia. Tiriato proved themselves to be the most knowledgeable, so they won three chickens. Tiriato was excited about their reward, but the tribe wanted to reserve their reward for later on, while Kyle wanted chicken at the time, causing an argument and a rift within the tribe. At the immunity challenge, Tiriato struggled with communication and lost. Kyle was a quick target, especially from the outsiders Aubree & Norm. The two tried to sway Brian & Stone to their side, but it was not enough, and Aubree was voted out.
Voted for AUBREE: Brian, Kyle, Matt, Stone
Voted for KYLE: Aubree, Norm
Episode 5: Triple the Trouble
Back at camp, Norm felt all alone as he was the only person not in the Tiriato alliance. The next day, Norm's news went from bad to worse as he found out all the tribes would face tribal that evening. He felt he was doomed, but he gave one last plea to Brian & Stone, claiming that at the next tribal, there would be a tie and that Kyle will waste the chickens. Brian & Stone listened to what Norm had to say, and surprised him along with the rest of the tribe by flipping the script and blindsiding Kyle. At Bairuti, Khris & KK were pleading to the girls and begging them not to vote each other out. In the end, KK's cry for help was louder and Khris was voted out. At Arataba, the vote was complicated. Blaine, Michael, and Morgan were targeting Aulani, whilst Ashton & Aulani were targeting Michael. Needing votes, they both called to Coldan & Tae for help, and Coldan & Tae stood by Ashton & Aulani, sending Michael home.
Voted for KYLE: Brian, Norm, Stone
Voted for NORM: Kyle, Matt
Voted for KHRIS: Aria, London, Melina, Sedona
Voted for ARIA: Khris, KK
Voted for MICHAEL: Ashton, Aulani, Coldan, Tae
Voted for AULANI: Blaine, Michael, Morgan
Episode 6: Last Hurrah
The next day, everyone was exhausted from their tribal councils, so JB lightened the mood the next day by giving off a Survivor auction. The castaways were excited as Tiriato walked away with pizza, beer, and burgers, Arataba walked away with a Polynesian barbeque party and some grooming goods, and Bairuti walked away with letters from home, as well as an advantage in the next immunity challenge, which they used to win, along with Arataba, sending Tiriato to tribal council again. At Tiriato, Matt knew he was on the outs, so he tried to swing Brian & Stone to his side again. However, his plain failed, and he was voted out.
Voted for MATT: Brian, Norm, Stone
Voted for NORM: Matt
Episode 7: Pick Their Poison
Back at camp, Norm was relieved that Brian & Stone had saved him once again, and even better news had come for Norm as JB announced that three tribes would become two. The 14 castaways would fight for immunity and the opportunity to pick tribes. Blaine & KK won, but instead of picking their own tribe, they would pick the other tribe. Here are the new tribes:
JB also announced that both tribes would go to tribal council that evening, which was no surprise to the castaways at this point in their Survivor careers. At Bairuti, Ashton, Aulani, Coldan, and Tae were happy to still be together, and with KK immune, their targets were London & Melina, and in the end, they decided to take out past winner London. At Arataba, Aria & Sedona and Blaine & Morgan were looking for votes from the old Tiriato, Brian, Norm, and Stone, and in the end, they decided to keep a target, Aria, in to use as a shield, and vote out the less protective Morgan.
Voted for LONDON: Ashton, Aulani, Coldan, KK, Tae
Voted for COLDAN: London, Melina
Voted for MORGAN: Aria, Brian, Norm, Sedona, Stone
Voted for ARIA: Blaine, Morgan
Episode 8: Picking Me Off Like a Zit
At Arataba, Blaine was surprised that Brian, Norm, and Stone would not get Aria out when they had a chance, and they confronted him about it. They told him the truth, and Blaine knew he was in trouble. At Bairuti, Melina felt all alone as her closest ally was voted out of the game. Fearing Aria was out too, she threatened to quit the game, however, she was surprised to find out that Aria was still in. At the reward challenge, Bairuti won a trip to the cinema to view a showing of all of their favorite movies. At Arataba, Blaine went into zen mode, knowing he had to win the next immunity. In the "How Much Can You Lift?" challenge, Blaine single-handedly won for his tribe and kept his game alive. After the challenge, Melina was upset and quit the game, knowing her game was deteriorating. The next day, Bairuti won a spa reward, making the rich richer. Blaine again knew he had to win the challenge in order to stay safe, but this time, he couldn't win for Arataba, and he was voted out.
Voted for BLAINE: Aria, Brian, Norm, Sedona, Stone
Voted for ARIA: Blaine
Episode 9: Kill or Be Killed
Back at Arataba, Aria could sense her and Sedona were on the outs, as Brian, Norm, and Stone were a tight trio. At the reward challenge, the tribes were given a tempting offer. An idol would be planted into the game if more than half of the remaining castaways wanted an idol to be planted. However, the votes remained a mystery, so the idol paranoia began to set in. At Arataba, Aria & Sedona worried about their game lives if they had lost immunity, as well as KK on Bairuti. In the end, Arataba won and escaped the vote. At Bairuti, KK warned Ashton & Aulani of the dangers of Coldan, and tempted them to vote him out, but in the end, Ashton & Aulani stuck to Plan A and voted out KK. After KK was voted out, JB announced the merge, gave Bairuti a map to Arataba, nine new black buffs, and their tribe flag, donning the name Bokikokiko, and the start of a fresh game.
Voted for KK: Ashton, Aulani, Coldan, Tae
Voted for COLDAN: KK
Episode 10: Big Deal Bro
On the 25th evening in Kiribati, the merge happened, and Arataba and Bairuti became Bokikokiko. The nine all-stars celebrated deep into the night, and they knew that the game was just beginning. The latest Aratabas agreed to stick together, but Norm worried as he did not want to target his first alliance with Ashton & Aulani from the Oki tribe. The next morning, news of the potential idol came out, and if it was in play, it has been planted. JB surprised everyone in camp with news of the potential idol came out, and if it was in play, it has been planted. He also surprised everyone with a feast, and an immunity challenge. Somewhere in the feast food was a clue to the whereabouts of the immunity necklace, and the first person to claim the immunity necklace would receive the immunity necklace. After a mad dash through the Arataba camp, Coldan found the necklace first and was immune from the evening's vote. During scramble time, Arataba decided to target Ashton with Coldan immune. However, Norm was against the idea and was contemplating flipping to voting out Ashton & Aulani's target. But, their target was Brian, which put Norm in a predicament. In the end, he convinced his Arataba alliance that Ashton could possibly have an idol, and the least likely to have an idol is Tae, and she was blindsided, and she became the first member of the jury.
Voted for TAE: Aria, Brian, Norm, Sedona, Stone
Voted for BRIAN: Ashton, Aulani, Coldan, Tae
Episode 11: Idol Paranoia
Back at camp, Coldan was shocked and gutted that Tae, his ally from day 1, had been blindsided. Tae's blindside made nobody feel safe, and the search for the idol intensified. At the reward challenge, Sedona won a clue as to the whereabouts of the idol, and she shared it with only Aria, unbeknownst to everyone else. Aria & Sedona were searching for the idol, but when they got to the spot where they assumed it was, it wasn't there. At the immunity challenge, Coldan won his second straight. With Coldan immune, and Norm without of non-allies to pick, he threw his game out on a limb to try and save Ashton & Aulani by throwing Aria under the bus. Brian & Stone fielded the idea, and surprisingly, they followed through with it, and Aria was blindsided. After Aria's blindside, Sedona was all alone in the game. Ashton & Aulani were so grateful to Norm, and they re-offered him a final three deal, which he accepted. He also accepted a final three deal with Brian & Stone, complicating things and putting him at an eventual crossroads. At the reward challenge, Stone took the ladies of the tribe, Aulani & Sedona to a Kiribati festival. The girls wanted to talk strategy, but Stone refused, throwing a red flag for the ladies. At the immunity challenge, Stone won immunity, guaranteeing him three more days. With Coldan not immune, Norm thought it would be best to flip back and vote him out. Brian & Stone were hesitant and paranoid about the idol, but in the end, they followed through, flipped back to Sedona, and voted out Coldan.
Voted for COLDAN: Brian, Norm, Sedona, Stone
Voted for SEDONA: Ashton, Aulani, Coldan
Episode 12: Nitty Gritty, Folks
Back at camp, Ashton & Aulani assumed that voting out Coldan meant that Norm had declined their final three deal and they became nervous about their lives in the game. The next day, the final six competed in a luxury competition. Ashton won 10 grand, Aulani won a car, Norm won a trip to Kiribati, Sedona came away empty-handed, Stone won a plasma-screen TV, and Brian won an advantage in the next immunity challenge, which he used to win him a spot in the final five. However, JB announced that he would still need to pack his bags, as tonight was a fast forward night. The fast forward night put everyone on edge. Norm was still contemplating who to vote out, as he didn't want to betray anybody. So, in order to not betray anybody, he cast his vote for Sedona. Brian & Stone seemed confident going into the night, however, to their surprise, Ashton played the hidden idol, nullifying the three votes against him, meaning their two votes against Stone were enough to send him to the jury. With shocked faces all around, the final five then competed in another immunity challenge, which Brian won. In order to keep his word, Norm continued to vote for Sedona, and Ashton & Aulani followed through, and Sedona was voted out 3-2.
Voted for STONE: Ashton, Aulani
Voted for SEDONA: Norm
Voted for SEDONA: Ashton, Aulani, Norm
Voted for ASHTON: Brian, Sedona
Episode 13: It's In the Stars
After the craziest night of the game, Ashton & Aulani celebrated being in the final four. Brian was shocked by Norm's inability to commit, and Norm immediately went to sleep. The next day, the final four celebrated lasting five weeks in the game. At the reward challenge, Aulani won a visit from her mother Krista. Brian was hoping to still have Norm aligned with him, but Norm refused, stating that he was meant to be in the final three with Ashton & Aulani. At the immunity challenge, Brian knew he needed immunity, but he fell right before Aulani, and Aulani won immunity, sending Brian to Ponderosa.
Voted for BRIAN: Ashton, Aulani, Norm
Voted for ASHTON: Brian
Episode 14: Finale
After Brian was voted out, Ashton, Aulani, and Norm celebrated being in the final three. Aulani offered Ashton a final two deal, which he accepted reluctantly, stating that he would have a better shot in the final two against Norm. At the immunity challenge, Aulani fell early, and Ashton offered Norm a spot in the final two if he dropped. Norm dropped, and Ashton won the final immunity, but he needed to break a promise, and in the end, he broke Aulani's promise, and sent her to the jury in tears. Back at camp, Ashton & Norm celebrated being the final two after they came so close the first time. On Day 40, a feast came to their camp, and they indulged bacon, eggs, and pancakes. On their way to tribal council, they paid homage to their 22 fallen comrades, and prepared to face the jury. At FTC, Aulani was upset at Ashton for not taking her, and Brian felt betrayed by Norm. In the end, the jury did not like Norm's noncommittal game, and were impressed by Ashton's tenacity, making him the first unanimous winner in JB Survivor history!
Congrats to Ashton ( KidA) for winning Survivor: All-Stars!
