Story

Night 12

	Teeny	“	Right now, I am feeling so, so, so, so good about what happened at Tribal Council. Rome, my biggest source of paranoia and stress in this game, was collectively voted out. And not only is the Amulet Advantage out of my hands. It was also played on me so that I didn't even have a chance of going home. But beyond that, Sol is the only known person who wrote Andy's name down, and he needs to do some damage control, because obviously, Andy's gonna be upset with that.	”

	Sol	“	Me voting for Andy gives me some work to do. I knew there was a chance that Andy would still be here, but I had to protect myself, so now I know I have to give up some things to earn his trust back, and, I have no problem with that.	”

	Andy	“	I did a lot of work to get out of Gata alive and have a decently strong alliance with Sam and Sierra, but I feel like, as time has gone on, little things have started to not add up in terms of how they're moving in this game. And when Sol tells me that they are using me as a sacrificial lamb, I wasn't shocked. I wasn't that surprised, but I was, you know, sort of woken up, and things became very clear to me.	”

	Andy	“	After this vote, I realize if I'm gonna survive the second half of this game, like, I need to flip the switch. I need to take control and have authorship over how the rest of this game is gonna go for me. And right now, that means I should just gun for my Gata tribe mates, because if they're gonna come for me, I need to get them first.	”

	Andy	“	Last night really got my head spinning because I really feel like I invested in those relationships with Sam and Sierra on the early days of Gata. But I'm realizing that I am a third wheel and ultimately, very expendable. Not even just at the endgame, but even now. And so, I'm reevaluating my game coming into this merged tribe. I feel like I have an opportunity to find, really, sort of my people that I can really roll with for the long term in this game. And, long story short. I want to swing away from Gata.	”

	Genevieve	“	Last night, my number one went home, and I'm, like I'm not taking a second to mourn it. "All I'm thinking is," okay, I'm in the market for a new ally," and top of my list is Andy.	”

	Genevieve	“	After the first Immunity Challenge, Andy had what I can only describe as a moment of, like, true, raw, vulnerable panic. But I really felt for him in that moment, and he's still here. I think, probably, because people were using him to further their agendas, but now he has an agenda and I have an agenda, and if we can work together, we can take back a little bit more power at this stage in the game.	”

	Andy	“	In order to change my fate, here's what I'm missing right now: A real number one in this game. I've worked closely with a few people. I've worked closely with Sam, but that's drifting away. And until now, Genevieve is someone I didn't know left from right. I didn't really know where she stood. I didn't know what her game plan was. But I'm kind of seeing her, really, as a pretty good opportunity for me to pick up that one person who also doesn't have a number one.	”

Day 13

	Sierra	“	This morning, we're just getting our buffs, we're just officially making it into the merge. And it's, like, there's been so much going on at once. Like, we're trying to, like, all chill at camp. And then, of course, Genevieve comes about, and she's like. In Survivor, you can't let your guard down, and it's, like, actually the most exciting part, but also terrifying.	”

	Rachel	“	So at this point, I'm, like, really trying to look ahead, and I'm really trying to see who I'm clicking with. Right now, I feel really good about the Tuku women. I feel really good about, I mean, most of the women in this game, honestly. I think that, ideally, I'm going to find six to eight of these people that I really feel like can work together, and we can start kind of picking off "the other side," quote, unquote, you know, whoever that may be.	”

	Teeny	“	In the Survivor lexicon, I feel like the all-girls alliance is almost, like, mythologized at this point. It's been done before. We've seen the Black Widow Brigade pull off some of the best moves in this show. Since then, it gets snubbed before it even gets a chance to kick off and start. But the way that I would dream to play this game is to form an all-women's alliance and eat all the men. That's, I mean, just an ideal-case scenario for me. And I really like the ladies here, and I think that we could all get on the same page.	”

	Tiyana	“	There are more women than there are men in this post-merge sequence. But for me, I have to really start to weigh the options of if I want to continue to stay in this Tuku Five or if I want to completely flip ship and try to form genuine connections and a genuine alliance on the other side, because I think that this is a perfect opportunity to get Gabe out. I've been wanting Gabe out since the beginning. I feel like I cannot trust this man. But no matter what, I want people to see me as an individualized player, and that I can make my own moves on my own time, in my own way.	”

At the Immunity Challenge, the final twelve are informed that they will be divided into two groups, with only one group attending a Group Tribal Council.

Andy	Caroline	Gabe	Genevieve	Kyle	Rachel
Sam	Sierra	Sol	Sue	Teeny	Tiyana

	Rachel	“	I am terrified. I look down the line and see the entirety of the Tuku tribe and me. So, I need to win today or I'm leaving the fate of my game in the hands of five Tuku members. I cannot believe that this is happening.	”

	Caroline	“	We're going to Tribal. And even though I was, like, trying to herd cats with this alliance at Tuku sometimes, we have a great contingency plan because Rachel's the only person who wasn't on the Tuku tribe. We have an easy vote out with Rachel, in my opinion. However, the easy vote might not be a smart vote, and I want to make a smart move.	”

	Genevieve	“	Today was another fantastic day in Fiji because I surprised myself and maybe everybody else and helped win the challenge for the yellow group which included safety for all six of us. It included food for all six of us, and we all have the certainty knowing that we made the jury. So, today was, like, chef's kiss, perfect day.	”

	Sam	“	My former Gata members and I get to bond with the former Lavo members, a-and really kind of solidify some trust and common happiness and joy with Sol, Teeny and Genevieve. But then, I realized, my Gata girl Rachel's over there with the losing group. She's sitting there with five Tukus, the entire tribe. She's the odd woman out. Like, if things hold to form, she's just getting picked off tonight there's nothing that I can do to save her.	”

	Teeny	“	Because there was a triple amulet played at the last Tribal Council, which acted as a full idol, I think it's possible that there could be some sort of idol or advantage hidden, which would be massively important. And if anyone were to find it, then it could change everything.	”

	Rachel	“	My gut is just on the ground. This is worst-case scenario. There's just nothing you can do in certain situations if you draw the wrong-colored rock, and you just get put between a literal rock and a hard place. You can always hope that there's divisions and cracks within original tribes, but you can't look at five Tuku members and one Gata member and not think, "well, that's easy."	”

	Gabe	“	Rachel was somebody who has been perceived as a very big threat in this game early on. She's very personable, she's very charismatic. She's also very smart. So to have her in this vulnerable of a position is very advantageous for everybody in season 47 right now.	”

	Gabe	“	The way that rock draw at the challenge played out was also perfect for Tuku because it's one more tribal that all five of us get to survive.	”

	Gabe	“	All these people are in this game are tools for me to use, and having this Tuku majority survive as long as it can is a very valuable tool.	”

	Tiyana	“	From the outside looking in, Rachel is the obvious vote. It's super easy. However, I know with my whole frigging heart that if we go back to our camp with five strong of Tuku, we are going to be picked off because we don't have the majority and we totally blew our cover. We technically lied to everyone else about how close we were. So, not only are we really, really strong, but we're liars. What are we supposed to do with that?	”

	Kyle	“	Right away, I kind of was like, "Rachel, you're doomed. No doubt about it." But then I realized it doesn't have to be Rachel. This could be the prime opportunity to get rid of Gabe. There's a very good chance that it could stick.	”

	Kyle	“	So, we need Rachel to be all in on this. We need her to not play that shot in the dark because we're about to make something awesome happen.	”

	Rachel	“	Tiyana comes up to me and says, "I actually want to get Gabe out." I mean, that's music to my ears, obviously. I'm gonna vote for whoever that's not me to get me out of this very sticky situation.	”

	Rachel	“	What Tiyana's saying is completely true. Tuku is already a very threatening presence as it is. And to go back and show that they are united in voting out someone who, you know, is pretty much on "the bottom," as far as anybody can tell, I was left out on the Anika vote and now I'm the freaking underdog here... like, that's not a good look for them. And so, Tiyana has, like, a very good point that taking out someone like Gabe would be really smart. So, if Tiyana can swing Caroline and Kyle wants to also go along with this Gabe plan, like, I'm in.	”

	Andy	“	This has been a very interesting and weird season in terms of advantages. They've all shown themselves early. A lot of advantages have come out and kind of just been flushed sort of preemptively, or in weird situations, like at last night's tribal council. And when those leave the game, new ones come to replace them, typically, and so, finding an advantage could be a very, very, very beneficial thing for me.	”

	Sierra	“	Andy has just been somebody we've been keeping around because we needed his vote on Gata, so I am not surprised that Andy is searching for an advantage. And he's a sloppy player, plain and simple. He's just all over. You can't, like, track him. And I'm like, that's just not somebody I can work with.	”

	Genevieve	“	Now that I'm working with Andy, I cannot stress enough how important it is for him to be careful. I honestly feel like if you go looking for an advantage this early into merge, you have to be sure that you can find it.	”

	Sol	“	I'm at this amazing reward. I'm loving everything about life in this moment. We're all just kind of chilling, you know, getting our, uh, food comas on, taking naps, and, I'm just not tired, and I'm like, "hey, sometimes there's something on these, uh, rewards, some type of advantage." And so, I start creeping around, you know, taking a look, and I'm making sure everyone's got their eyes closed. So, I feel like I have free rein to go searching for an idol. I'm, like, looking, you know, around the plates and everything. And so, I'm like, "ain't nothing here." Then, all of a sudden, on the corner of my eye, I see this beautiful glow, it’s like “Aaa”, and the way it was positioned, it was hidden very, very well because it was almost camouflaged. Like, it was right next to me for an hour, and I never saw it.	”

	Sol	“	I've been looking for so long. I do my very best to be chill, be calm, but inside, and I'm like, “Damn, this could shift the game."	”

	Caroline	“	Tiyana mentioned, you know, going after Gabe is an option, and it's something we should debate. And there is a fear that if we successfully vote out Rachel, five Tuku strong, we get picked off one after one after one.	”

	Caroline	“	I personally think Rachel is the glue of the Gata tribe, and if we get rid of her, a lot of options open up for Tiyana and I.	”

	Tiyana	“	Caroline does bite just a little bit, but she does have some reservations. And since Caroline is not on board, it really is disappointing, because I wish, wish, wish that there was a way to get Gabe out of the game.	”

	Gabe	“	Everybody on Tuku seems to be on the same page: It's Rachel tonight. The dilemma is how can we get her to not play her Shot in the Dark? Because if she plays her shot in the dark and it hits, then we got to cannibalize each other, and we don't want to do that.	”

	Rachel	“	Gabe's plan... because he is also so adamant that if they go back as a strong five, that he'll be next or he'll be the one after next he wants Caroline out. I want to believe it, but all the BS that I've bought along the way in this game it's felt so good, it's felt so right. In that moment, it made sense, and yet it was all fake.	”

	Rachel	“	It's, like, the best thing I could have ever hoped for and it sounds so implausible at the same time. Either Tuku is completely playing me or maybe I have some kind of hope in this game, and I'm still figuring out which-which one it is. This is by far the most precarious place I've been in this game, because at least in the other situations, I wasn't actually the person on the chopping block. If I screw up tonight, I will not be on the jury, I will not be in this game anymore. And I... That's... terrifying.	”

	Sol	“	I found my first advantage in this game. I was cool, calm, and I found it. And so, I'm pretty sure no one else saw it. In fact, I know nobody else saw it. Otherwise, they would have said something. So now, I'm gonna have to put on my Oscar-winning performance and go off all by myself, because in this game, secrets are very, very rare. But for me, I'm keeping it to myself. So right now, no one else knows in this game what I'm about to pull.	”

	Sol	“	I got a lot of power right now. I finally get to use an advantage in this game and change the outcome of some things. What this advantage does, is it gives someone the opportunity to block a vote. Which is simply, if someone writes a vote, you can say, "Nope, that's not gonna count." Or they can have Safety Without Power. So, in the middle of Tribal Council, they can literally just leave Tribal Council, go back to camp, and they're safe.	”

	Sol	“	This is a big decision, and I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet. I could give it to Rachel, but I'm not sure if that's actually good for my game. And if I don't give it to Rachel, then I could build incredible bonds with someone on the Tuku tribe and have another option to get to the end. Ultimately, what it's gonna come down to is what's gonna help my game. I want to help somebody else, but this decision is based on what's best for me. My heart is beating very, very fast, and I just can't wait to get it going. It should be an incredible, exciting, Tribal Council tonight.	”

Challenges

Reward/Immunity Challenge: Audio Slave
Divided into two teams of six, each castaway will stand on a narrow balance beam while holding up a boom pole over their head with a ball balancing on a disc at the end of the pole. At regular intervals, the castaways will step forward to a narrower part of the beam. If they fall off the beam or their ball drops, they are out of the challenge. The team that outlasts every member of the other team wins reward and team immunity; the person who lasts the longest on the losing team wins individual immunity.

Final Words

	Tiyana	“	I thought I could trust the people that were in my alliance and I got bamboozled. To come this far and to literally be one vote away from making the Jury, I'm beyond devastated right now. I think I played a genuinely honest game and it was true to myself and I don't regret the way I played the game, I just regret who I trusted.	”
