Story

“	The immunity challenge weighs heavily on castaways when two tribes are sent to tribal council.	”
—Episode Synopsis

Day 15

	Ben	“	Tribal went fantastic. We voted out Boston Rob. He had a plan to keep us under his thumb and I was like, "Don't treat me like I'm some rookie newbie out here." And that's what it came down to. It was a lack of respect. And for that reason alone, I couldn't live with him anymore. I'm out here having fun and building relationships. To show people that I can change my game, right? That's my goal. So, on this tribe I've grown closer to Sarah, and to be quite honest, Sophie, too. She's a good person and I like good people.	”

	Adam	“	The general sense of the tribe is that the Wicked Witch is dead, and we can do whatever we want now. But the truth is, I'm really nervous, because I'm on a tribe with people that might have stronger connection with each other than they do with me. I mean, Ben has seemingly become very close with Sophie and Sarah, but when we have time alone, he's barely talking to me. So I don't feel like this is a great celebration. In fact, I feel a little bit more cornered on this tribe now then I did before Boston Rob went home.	”

	Amber	“	I'm thinking, 'Oh, God, no, not another log challenge.'	”

	Tyson	“	I don't have a Fire Token yet and there's four people here that do. So I need to be the one to find that thing. Especially with Rob here, I didn't want him to find it.	”

	Rob	“	The clue said: "The more stones you turn over, the better your chances are." The only problem is there's close to eight million rocks on this island. I know that because I've almost counted all of them.	”

	Tyson	“	The main phrase in the clue was: "At the right place, at the right time." And the only thing that has time out here is the tide. I caught a glimpse of it in a hole in the rock, and I could also see Rob looking at me from that exact point. So I turned around and pretended that I needed to tinkle.	”

	Tyson	“	I snagged the little packet real quick and put it in the waistband of my, uh, man-panties. Eventually, people do trickle out to keep looking. And when everybody's gone, I open it up and give it a quick read even though I know people aren't far. (reads) "This is an Idol Nullifier. When played correctly, the Nullifier blocks the use of an idol at Tribal Council. This advantage has no value on Extinction, but you can sell it to any player in the game for one Fire Token." So the most important thing is not so much who I give it to, it's that that person buys this.	”

	Tyson	“	Boom! I'm the proud papa of a Fire Token. So now I have to decide, with this Fire Token, what to do with it. The idol is 3 tokens, but if I wasted 3 tokens on this and never got back in the game, I would look the fool... but I'm not a fool... I don't think. So my only option is to purchase something from the menu at the mast which is... peanut butter.	”

	Tyson	“	I feel like eating the little bit of peanut butter each day would A) boost my spirits mentally, and the fact that I'm doing something sneaky and hilarious, and give me the extra calories that would then prepare me for the challenge. Some slack-jawed yokel from, uh, who knows where, probably wouldn't know all the, uh, great nutritional stuff that peanut butter has, but... I do.	”

Day 16

	Adam	“	The most amazing thing about this win for me was that it's like winning two Immunity Challenges back-to-back. We're going from 14 people in the game to 12 people in the game. That's a double elimination. It doesn't get better than that.	”

	Parvati	“	The Immunity Challenge was rough. We lost. And now, I'm pretty sure the guys are coming after me. I know that they see me as a threat. And seeing that Rob got voted out, I feel really alone here. Like, I've got Michele, but that's it. You know, I have the Idol Nullifier, but what I really need is numbers. Otherwise, I'm screwed.	”

	Nick	“	Honestly, I'm pretty bummed. I was hoping to play Survivor with Parvati. I mean, she was always one of my favorites. She was, like, my Survivor crush, you know? However, Wendell and Yul, they're my closest allies in the entire game. So if they want to vote her out, I guess that's what I have to do.	”

	Michele	“	I hate to say it, but honestly, I don't think this plan is gonna work. These three guys are tight. They're not gonna vote each other out at this point. And it sucks. Parv is my best friend out here, but I don't know if I can save her. So if she's already going home, all I can do is try to see if there's some way for it to benefit my game.	”

	Wendell	“	I'm shocked. I'm like, "Michele, are you really writing my name down? Is that what's going on?" That's petrifying for me. That's two Wendells. You only need one more. Michele wants to have her cake and eat it too. She doesn't want to vote Parv out. But at the same time, she wants Parv's tokens. And I'm like, "Wow, Michele's playing the game."	”

	Michele	“	Wendell doesn't trust me. That much is very clear. I've offered to betray Parvati, and he still doesn't trust me. And I'm pissed, because when I was dating him, I was the one who got burned. So why would I move forward with somebody who I'm giving, giving, giving and they're taking, taking, taking?	”

	Parvati	“	Wendell's walking around like he's so confident and he owns this place and he's running the show, but he just made a move that was really dumb. And that is all I need to turn the spotlight away from me and put it on Wendell.	”

	Nick	“	Me and Wendell, we talked about going to the end together. And he talks the talk, but I'm not sure if he really walks the walk. I've kind of been on cruise control, just trying to make it to the merge, but now I'm thinking, "I gotta start playing this game."	”

	Nick	“	This is a huge decision. Parvati is a threat, but she's a visible threat. Whereas Wendell, he is more of, like, a hidden threat. So it makes sense to get rid of him if I can keep somebody that I can actually trust. Whatever I do tonight, is gonna have huge consequences. I just hope I don't regret it.	”

	Tony	“	Our tribe only has five people right now. I'm in the majority of the numbers, but the worry right now for me is that I don't know if Sandra's gonna flip on me. I don't know if Kim might flip on me. Jeremy and Denise might have an idol. Who are they gonna use it on? I need that information, and there's only one way to get that information; that's a spy bunker.	”

	Jeremy	“	Coming in, Denise and I, we're the old Sele. There's only two of us, but I have this Safety Without Power advantage. I could leave Tribal Council as soon as I want. I don't have a vote, but I'm here tomorrow. It's gonna be right here (taps pocket), waiting... and I'm quick on the draw! That's my only problem.	”

	Denise	“	Going into tonight's Tribal, I'm extremely uneasy. I don't feel like this is gonna be an easy Tribal. I think it's gonna be a challenge. And I think, unfortunately, I may end up burning an idol that I'm gonna wish I had farther down the road.	”

	Denise	“	Sandra is very direct and very honest, and I think she really believes she's in charge of the game. That's not how I play, but it's the way the game's played. So my strategy is to kind of play it humbly, to let them know that I get that I know I need them, they don't need me.	”

	Kim	“	We cannot find Tony anywhere. And, honestly, I'm starting to get nervous. I'm like, "Why in the world would Tony be missing?" He gets like this on Tribal days. He's like a split personality.	”

	Jeremy	“	Tony's been great up until now. As soon as it's time to, "Oh, we have to start talking," Tony's gone. Tony, what are you scrambling for? Your name's not even on the chopping block. What are you doing, Tone?	”

	Tony	“	I decide to pop out of my bunker. Sure enough, my timing couldn't be more off.	”

	Kim	“	These are the people I'm in bed with, you know? The guy that freaks out and can't even stay to have, like, a level headed conversation after a challenge. And that is concerning for me.	”

	Sandra	“	I still haven't decided how I feel about Denise going home. Tony and Jeremy keep drilling it into my head that the big targets need to stick together... and I get that. But what they don't understand, too, is that I have a lot of people on the other side that are with me as well. So Tony's the only one gonna benefit from Jeremy sticking around. I have an idol left that's good for only one more Tribal Council, and I have zero Fire Tokens. So I want somebody's two tokens.	”

	Sandra	“	Me and Tony are a pretty good team right now, but he's a very paranoid player. I know Tony well enough to know that my days are numbered with him. He will take me out if I don't take him out again. I already know it.	”

	Denise	“	This is not a selfless act. There's something in this for her, and what I think is in it for her is I stay in the game and her hands are clean. I actually have an idol in my bag, so I don't need this. But if it's real, it serves another purpose. I could make a move that literally, for the first time in my Survivor career, feels like it could be game-changing.	”

	Denise	“	If the votes are coming the way that Sandra is telling me they're coming and everybody's voting for me, I can pick anyone of those people and send them home. I've never had power like this in the game, ever.	”
