CONFESSIONAL: Blaze
"The more and more time spent with Alvard and Ryan, the more you come to realize that they're not to be trusted. And I don't think anyone on Kontol does at this point. If we lose, it has to be one of them."
Joey, Blaze, and Christian were all conversating.
"I'm SO happy that those assholes flipped." Joey says.
"Only makes the game easier for us 3." Christian says with a smile.
Meanwhile, Alvard and Ryan are talking.
"Looks like we're fucked." Ryan says.
"I haven't shown anyone yet... but check it. The idol. We aren't going to be going any time soon."
Ryan and Alvard celebrate.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
Come on in guys! But before we get to today's challenge.... there is one more twist. Everyone drop your buffs we are adding another tribe to the mix. The 12 contestants would be split into 3 teams of 4.
New Mata Mata: Nick, CM, Jacob, Alvard
New Kontol: Jax, Christian, Zach, Joey
New Zakar: Justin, Sai, Blaze, Ryan
CONFESSIONAL: Blaze
"I literally could not have asked for a worse tribe. Guess I'll just see if I can work my magic."
At the immunity challenge, the New Kontol won first. It came down to Mata Mata and Zakar, and ultimately in the end, Mata Mata pulled out the victory.
MATA MATA CAMP
Everyone was celebratory over winning the challenge.
CONFESSIONAL: CM
"Seeing that Nick and Jacob were from the same tribe, I had to try and get with them so we could take Alvard out if we lost."
Alvard sits alone on his old camp.
CONFESSIONAL: Alvard
"I know that they were plotting against me. I'm going to be fine, I have an idol. They stand no chance."
KONTOL CAMP
Upon getting back at camp, Joey and Zach started bonding quickly. Joey quickly invited Zach into the alliance of him and Christian, leaving Jax on the outs.
CONFESSIONAL: Jax
"I'm not in the greatest spot right now. The Mata Matas couldn't stay completely loyal to each other on the other tribe, and now Joey dislikes me because of my association with Cal. Does he realize we aren't the same person? Joey has absolutely no shot at winning this game."
ZAKAR CAMP
Sai quickly went to Blaze when they got back to their new camp.
"Justin is shady. I think he did cast that vote for me, and for that, he has to go." Sai tells him.
"Yeah, Ryan is super shady too. I think that he is even more untrustworthy." Blaze tells him.
"I respect your opinion, but it has to be Justin. Maybe Ryan next time." Sai says.
CONFESSIONAL: Blaze
"So apparently Sai thinks that I'm his bitch now? Your word isn't God, Sai. You may be able to easily control Christian but I'm no sheep and you're no shepherd."
Ryan and Blaze are talking.
"We voted against each other last time, but Sai's a threat." Ryan says to Blaze.
"I absolutely agree. Voting Sai out would be great for all of our games. We're almost at merge, we don't need his expertise anymore."
CONFESSIONAL: Blaze
"At this point I could go a number of ways. Ryan wants Sai out, Sai wants Justin out, Justin wants, well, who cares. But NO one wants Blaze out!"
Blaze talks to Justin.
"Hey Justin, what were you thinking for the vote?"
"I hadn't thought much about it. Sai is definitely threatening."
"That's true. We could go after Sai tonight, we need to start making these moves before he gets too far." Blaze says.
"I agree 1,000%." Justin says.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
"Welcome to tribal council. Sai, with another crazy twist shaking up the game, how safe are you feeling?"
"Pretty safe. Unless there was scheming going around behind my back I really don't see myself going tonight."
"Justin, you haven't been here in a while. What's it like being back?"
"Well Jeff, I was fortunate enough to be able to take a break from all of the strategy talk with my immunity wins, but now it's unavoidable. Good practice for merge."
"Alright, well if no one else has anything to say let's get to the voting."
Everyone votes, and Jeff returns with the urn.
"If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and you want to play it, now would be the time to do so."
