$eason 19(M) Episode 05
$pecies: Previously on $urvivor...
After Clink had been blindsided by Lars' exit, Nerf saw an opportunity to loop him in. Advantages were also abundant, with Vikram, Greg and Jessica discovering extortion advantages, and Moss stealing $900 from Joe.
At the immunity challenge, the tribes bid on squares in order to secure points for immunity. Deaze continued to rub Clink the wrong way by taking a leadership role in the challenge, but it paid off as @Khutob, along with @Qummah, secured immunity. Vikram, mistakenly believed that his tribemates underbid, had a sudden meltdown after the challenge.
At @Sajid, the focus largely fell on the feud between Greg and Sophie. Encouraged by Moss, Greg lobbied Joe to vote Sophie by paying him $1000 and offering up his extortion advantage. But in the end, it did not work out due to a strong push by Jessica to keep Sophie in the game, and Greg was sent home unanimously.
16 are left. Who will be voted out tonight?
Intro plays.

DAY 14
SAJID
The sun rises over the Sajid's camp landscape.
Jonas | @Sajid
After all the changes, it came down to between Sophie and Greg with pretty much everyone wanting Sophie gone except Jessica but like she cared far more than everyone else did about Sophie going so we let her make that call. Right now, I feel connected to no one. I would send any one of them home if it meant the difference between me staying one day longer than I would have otherwise. But in terms of who do I want to get rid of least, it’s a toss up between Joe and Moss.
Joe | @Sajid
Omg last night was stressful but it also made me feel good. I had the power to choose between Greg and Sophie, and ultimately I went with Greg. I’m not quite on a power trip but still feel powerful within the tribe. I have a very tight alliance with Jess, a strong group of three with Jess and Jonas, and also really good connections with Sophie and more so Moss. Sophie is a good talker but I don't think she has much control right now while Moss will probably do what I tell her. It's as simple as that. If we go to tribal again I think I’ll be alright, but who knows that could all change very quickly.
Jessica | @Sajid
Thank the lord. Omg I’m so happy. I feel bad that someone had to go but it worked out and my convincing worked so I’m happy. Sophie apparently has an idol token. I think I have a plan to deal with that. I might tell her that Jonas keeps leaking stuff about her to get her to be wary of him, that way she trusts me more and puts some space between those two. Jonas keeps trying to push us onto her. I kinda feel bad for her as she trusts him a lot I think. I wonder if Jonas leaks stuff I’ve been saying too. But yeah I’m going to try to get closer to Sophie. Time to talk to Sophie now.
Sophie | @Sajid - 1 Idol Token
After tribal, Jess said she wanted to talk to me. I was scared. Essentially, she told me that Jonas threw my name out. I’m trying to feign innocence with the shit she told me he was saying. He is now trying to target me because I told him about the idol token that I found before last tribal and he is under the impression that I have Final 2 deals with a bunch of people including Goose. She basically said “hey look I like you so I’m telling you about this. Jonas is doing you wrong.” So obviously it paid off to let Jess know shit that was happening with Greg but now I don’t have anything to offer her, in terms of info that is.
Moss | @Sajid - 1 Idol Token
So a bit of the fallout from the last tribal. Greg would've been a perfect ally for me. It sucks that he couldn't stay but good thing I didn't push for Greg to stay because apparently Jonas did and then Joe leaked that to Sophie. She then told me she was pissed that Jonas was pushing her name. I can't believe the level of snakiness with all these players. It's unreal. Joe said he felt close with me, but I think he's closer to Sophie than he lets on it. Plus, he has Jessica, so he's definitely in the power position in this tribe. As for Sophie, she's scary. Having her in the game is good and bad since she's a target with all the sneaky things she does. She leaks info left and right. I have to be very careful.
DAY 14
QUMMAH
The camera cuts to Qummah waking up on Day 14.
Goose | @Qummah
Every day I’m still in this game is a success. So every time I get to see that beautiful sunrise, I gotta celebrate a little. My searches for idol has not been fruitful but that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop looking. You certainly don’t need advantages or idols to win this game though. If you have a strong social game, you can make it to the end and win. That’s what I’m trying to do here.
Vikram | @Qummah - 1 Idol Token
This game is a complete roller coaster for me! Two days ago I found an extortion advantage after so long and I'm still elated about it and decided to not share with anybody. Then the drama happened at the last challenge. I felt bad that i ruined my game big time. I went on an apologizing spree and it seems to have worked out well as people appear like they have forgotten about it. And now I found an idol token! The water well seems like a gold well to me. Again I'm not sharing with anyone for now in case of a swap. I can use it to my advantage but I need at least one more. Also coupled with extortion, this is gonna be awesome. I can play it on myself if I can find 2 more or get them from my allies and use my extortion to either get money or make someone pay for playing an idol. I'm super excited. This game has given it all to me. Advantages, allies, good people! I can't describe how great I'm feeling.
Bloody | @Qummah
I’ve gotten a deeper feeling that Vikram is a smart player but our bond from Sajid to here stays strong, and I feel like both of us depend on one another and genuinely enjoy each other. Given his outburst earlier, I’ve been deepening my connection to him. I told him he’s my number one. His big worry is that the tribe is pissed at him or won’t want to work with him, so it’s important to stoke that paranoia while also reaffirming my undying loyalty at this stage.
Vikram | @Qummah - 2 Idol Tokens
(finds another idol token) This game is rewarding me so good. 3 days before I had nothing in this game and now I have 2 idol tokens! I can't believe it. I can buy a micro idol now or wait to get a full idol....hmm lemme think. Either way, this is a huge boost to my game. Token god I need to maybe tell Bloody about one of my advantages to show why I ain't going to the water well. Which one shall I tell to Bloody? I can either tell token or the extortion. I think token may not be good as I want an idol for myself. I need to wait and see if we swap. I hope we swap so that I can find new tokens. This is a lot to take in. I'm so happy. I can win this game! My cockiness is increasing and kindness is decreasing with this power. It will let me play unapologetically.
Bloody | @Qummah
The feeling of our tribe is very much “we vibin’”. No one talks too much, but our conversations are meaningful. I have connected a lot with Borges and Simon and continued to strengthen bonds with Vikram while also aligning myself with Goose and reaffirming my Camp 2 loyalty with Sebby.
Sebby | @Qummah
Today has gone super well. I was able to solidify a group with Bloody and Vik and if we can get Goose out, we will be in the majority which is so good! I feel closest to Vik and Borges right now but Bloody is up there as well. Hopefully people feel close enough to me so that if we go to tribal again I will be safe. I think if I make merge, a group of Zufajid could be great and a possibility, so I do want to keep Vik and Bloody around for as long as possible.
Vikram | @Qummah
Now an alliance is going with Zufajid and that's great for me. If we lose, well Goose may go home and I'm happy as Sebby will be spared now that I'm in an alliance with him. Goose is the only one I'm not in an alliance with in my tribe. But it's fine as Bloody is close to him. Simon told me how he and I need to do a blindside possibly in the merge. I show him that I wanna work long term and pull of moves together with him. Right now, I trust him and I guess he trusts me too.
Simon | @Qummah
From what I'm seeing, old Khutob members (aka me and Borges) are in a really weird spot in this tribe because let's be honest, our best move to make at that point would be to target OG Sajid members, but they are the core of this tribe and that would be hard as hell. Borges and I would need Sebby and Goose to do that, but Goose is close to Bloody from what Borges is telling me, plus to all of that Vik won't agree to vote Bloody. Vik would be another choice for us but Goose won't go against Bloody, and she doesn't want Vik out. Both Borges and I think that we are not in a great spot in this tribe. I hope for a swap really soon because I don't really trust people in this tribe. Actually I really like all of them but I feel like they are hiding something.
Borges | @Qummah
I hate being at the bottom. These people don't even try talking to me and I gotta kiss their feet. I really hate this blatant fishing for info from Vikram, like at least pretend you don't want to suck every info you can from me and not give me any. And Sebby can't seem to find more than 3 words to answer me every time. He either hates me or it's his way of talking which I'll have to learn if I want to ever align myself with him. I am considered a perceptive guy but that's because I pay attention on those common signs that someone has when they do trust you and when they stop trusting you. So I can easily be lured, it's not hard to trick me that you trust me, but some people can't even manage to do that, which is a reason I may feel insecure, paranoid and do crazy stuff even being in a great position. If someone does not show you they trust you, that's on them, if you end up flipping it's their fault for not making you feel safe. So I may trust Goose here just because he has shown me more than all the others have by now.
Goose | @Qummah
Borges was the one person going into this swap that I had a relationship with, and that has proven to be fairly fruitful. He and I were able to rekindle our shared camp connection fairly quickly, and now it seems he wants to work with me. I can't really ask for much more than that at the moment. As for Simon, I still can’t really get a read on him! While he has reached out to me more just because we knew each other from the last camp, he still gives me weird vibes. He is neither helpful or harmful to my game right now, but I just wish I could read him better.
DAY 14
KHUTOB
The scene shifts to Khutob.
Zach | @Khutob
I spent most of the day talking to the others but there's barely any game to talk about. These people can actually keep a conversation going though. I really want to continue this winning streak because it is going to be very difficult to vote someone off out of these 4. I really thought Kasnoy and I wouldn't get that along because of music taste. But Kasnoy and I have seemed to bond and having him on my side is really good because I have a feeling as long as I don't become too much of a threat, he won't target me. Deaze and I can go really far together. We were both here as solos from our original tribe and we have bonded a lot. We haven't talked about having each other backs or any promises. We just said let's go far together. And then someone like Nerf is not someone I normally see myself working with but it certainly is possible. As for Clink, he is probably the one I have bonded with the most but in this case it's more about game than anything else. He's simply just on the wrong side of the numbers since he did want to keep Lars over me. But I feel like there's still hope there, let's just not ruin that by going to tribal again.
Clink | @Khutob - 1 Idol Token
IT'S SO SO FRUSTRATING. Every convo me and Deaze has is so extremely fake now. I know he’s just trying to say what I wanna hear so I can trust him but the way he explained the Lars blindside was sketchy. "Lars lied about his gold bar ):”...okay? Aaaa I really hope we get to swap soon or something. I’m trying everything and these people are so....Sharing where I searched with Kasnoy? “Oh I haven’t been searching.” Trying to talk game with Deaze? Ignored. And Zach brushed over the tribal stuff so much lately. Nerf is my saving grace. I need to make a 3-way pact with him and Kasnoy. (shows the idol token he found before the swap to the camera) And please, just one more token. That's all I’m asking for!
Clink goes to the well and stumbles upon an idol token.
Clink | @Khutob - 2 Idol Tokens
THANK YOU GOD! Now I gotta just find more tokens to stock up!
Deaze | @Khutob
I think on this tribe, Nerf is who I have to trust and hope that he has me as his #1. I know it could easily be Kasnoy, so I'm hoping the social bonds I have with him are real. Zach is also a close second in terms of whom I trust. I think we kind of have a gentlemen's agreement that we know we have to work with each other temporarily to get to the next phase together. Together, we can force Nerf to vote however we want to vote at the next tribal.
Kasnoy | @Khutob
I’m really glad to have switched over to this tribe with Nerf because I see him as a truly capable ally strategically, socially and emotionally. He’s skilled and I feel really good about having him with me here. It’s perhaps wrong to say that we’re “in the middle” within Khutob, but I do get the feeling that he and I may have choices to do what we want here. Clink actually suggested starting an alliance between us three last night, but I have to make sure I watch closely and see if this is also happening with Deaze and Zach. As of right now, Nerf and I are the only original tribe at Khutob with more than one representative, so we’ve got to be careful of if we are being watched and taken note of in that particular manner. I'm also watching out for Deaze. He’s quite the player - intelligent and well organized. I’m not saying we should blindside him or go after him in any way here at Khutob, but I mean, if it’s on the table, it'd be something to be considered.
Nerf | @Khutob
I feel like I'm playing very UTR right now, people may see me as social but these past few days I've been HELLA dry (with a bit on purpose) because I do want to lessen the possibility of me being seen as a social threat. I'm hoping that we can win immunity again because I don't wanna lose a number for my game. I see potential within everyone in Khutob. Three of them have individually done something for me to prove that they're loyal to ME. Besides Zach, the three of Deaze, Clink and Kasnoy have constantly shown me stuff that makes me believe they trust me with ALL of their heart in the game right now. Clink trusts me and only me in the game, he feels the need to get a third obviously for his game. He's trying to work on the OG Sajid that are in the game, aka me and Kasnoy. I'm scared people may think I'm with everyone here, which is true. But I highly doubt Deaze and Clink will EVER come together to do anything.
Clink | @Khutob
This could all be paranoia but for real I feel on the outs. I don’t wanna get out this way I don't even know what I did to justify me getting sent on the outs this early like DAMN. If push comes to shove I’m exposing Nerf to Deaze. “Hey Deaze. Nerf was throwing you under the bus and said you're the main reason the flip happened.”
Nerf | @Khutob
I just found an extortion advantage at the well! It's ironic because I just had a full conversation with Deaze about how finding something is like finding a needle in a haystack and I found it. Now, I wanna wait to use this to block them from playing idol tokens. I don't wanna use it immediately, I wanna make some money later on in the game. The ideal situation is to make sure I gain something out of this and I'm not tellin' a damn soul about this... Now I'm interested to see who got voted out by Sajid 2.0. Could be Jonas.. could be Jessica. I know a lot of my tribe wants to see Jonas go home, but that devil on my shoulder is telling me Jonas staying is very good for my game.

$pecies: Come on in, guys!
Khutob and Qummah arrive at the Challenge Arena.
$pecies: Khutob and Qummah, getting your first look at the new Sajid tribe.
Sajid walks in without Greg.
$pecies: Greg was voted off at the last tribal council.
Bloody | @Qummah
GREG WENT HOME? I swear to god I need to start hoping for people I hate to stay, I’m cursed.
Clink | @Khutob
MY ALLIES ARE GOING OUT LEFT AND RIGNT. I'M TRULY SICK. WHAT'S NEXT? A GOOSE BOOT? This isn’t okay. This ISN'T OKAY. I’m truly heartbroken. I felt untouchable pre-swap and now everything is crashing down around me. Aaaaaaa this is so hard. This game has me on my toes everyday! I just need to luck out and win the next few immunities until a new swap or something.
Nerf | @Khutob
Holy shit! Jonas AND Jessica both stayed. How the hell did that happen? That's a shocker to me. Like I did not expect that at ALL. Clink is gathering up a lot of Legacy of Loves which is interesting, and OG Qummah is [bleeping] dying. I need to keep in Clink here, that's a bond that's only gonna be stuck to ME. Clink mentioned to me that now that Greg is gone, I'm the only person he really trusts in the game right now. Good for me I guess?
Sebby | @Qummah
I'm happy Joe is safe because I really wanna be with him again. I'm actually shocked Jessica is still here, maybe she's just sheeping someone and they are keeping her around. I do sense a tribe swap coming up again which SUCKS, I'm in such a good spot right now and I don't want it to be messed up.
$pecies ⚖
06-Aug-21 09:11 PM
$pecies: Khutob and Qummah, I'll take back the tribal immunity camels.
Before we get to your next immunity challenge, would you like to hear the good news or the bad news first?
Jonas: Bad first.
$pecies: Two tribes will be going to tribal council...
Goose: OOOOOOO!
$pecies: ...but only one player will be voted off.
Sophie: Joint?
$pecies: Not joint! It's one real and one mock tribal. First place tribe will get to find out they win after the challenge while second place will only find out after they have voted.
Jessica: Not again.
$pecies: With that, immunity is back up for grabs! Today, you're going to be doing a bit of climbing with this new challenge - Pyramid Climbing. It consists of two parts.
For Part 1, each player must bid for their tribe to win the Medallion of Power. The tribe with the highest average bid would win it to enjoy a 19% boost in Part 2.
In the second part, each tribe must form 2 teams, one with 3 members and another with 2. Members of each team will take turns to climb up and back down the pyramid to score as many points as possible within 10 minutes. Precision and speed both matter in this challenge. Each message posted during the 10-minute window must follow the exact required format to avoid having points deducted from your final score.
The tribe with the best score will win immunity while the tribe in second place will also win immunity but they won't find out until after they have voted at the mock tribal, where their votes won't be read and no one will be voted out. The losing tribe will attend the real tribal council to vote out one of their own.
Each tribe discussed among themselves to form a pair and a trio for the challenge.
Kasnoy: Does anyone feel like they are good?
Deaze: Let's just balance it out so we can win in either one. So like Nerf Zach and I, and Kasnoy you and Clink. Cool?
Nerf: I'm cool with that.
Deaze: I have faith that we can win in both of our categories. Just focus.
Kasnoy: Deaze I feel like you like provolone cheese. My red panda senses are telling me that. Are they off? Or on?
Deaze: It's off, I'm a Gouda and Manchego kinda dude.
Khutob Team 1 - Clink, Kasnoy
Khutob Team 2 - Deaze, Nerf, Zach
Deaze | @Khutob
I already stepped up last challenge so it's time for someone else to be the hero. I talked to Nerf about the challenge and he thought that we should be a duo and easily win the 2 man team since he thinks we're both capable of winning. Good to know that he has faith in my challenge skills though it does raise my threat level with him a bit. But I threw out the fact that it might be safer if we just worked to carry the 3 man group but in reality I just wanted to make sure we weren't ostracized from the rest of the tribe. Then he threw out Zach as the guy to be working with us in the group of 3 and I quickly locked it in to seal the deal. This is the best breakdown for my game at this point, allowing me to float the possibility of targeting either of the two other tribe members.
Nerf | @Khutob
Deaze was the one who was deciding who would go where for this challenge, so I subtly pushed the idea of putting Kasnoy and Clink together to let them get a bond. And honestly? I'm happy I did it. It's the opposite of what I usually do, aka separating people. I'm bringing people together, and I honestly feel a lot more positive about it. Now is it for self-gain too? Well, yes. But I'm not trying to force it to happen. I'm letting it come together naturally.
Kasnoy | @Khutob
When developing our teams — a duo and a trio — for the challenge, Deaze ended up basically designing everything for us. The trio would be him, Nerf, and Zach; and the duo would be Clink and I, and I wasn’t at all opposed to that! If anything, Clink and I have been getting closer to each other recently, allowing us to develop a relationship that may not be as present with him and other tribemates. This also seems to be happening with Nerf, as Clink exclaimed to both really like me and Nerf.
Jonas: Let's decide on the groupings?
Sophie: I’m fine for whatever.
Jonas: Me Sophie and Jessica form a team and Moss, can you go with Joe?
Moss: Sure I can. That's fine.
Sajid Team 1 - Joe, Moss
Sajid Team 2 - Jessica, Jonas, Sophie
Jonas | @Sajid
Why the [bleep] does it seem like no one else on this tribe ever says shit on these challenges? Like why I gotta plan everything for these [bleep]ers every time? Get your shit together a lil bit!
Simon: Is there anyone who wants to sit out in Part 2 of the challenge?
Vikram: If all of you wanna compete, I don't mind sitting out.
Borges: Or we can do a rock draw. I don't know.
Sebby: Sounds good. Let's randomize.
Qummah Team 1 - Simon, Vikram
Qummah Team 2 - Borges, Goose, Sebby
Bloody | @Qummah
When I saw my tribemates scrambling to form teams for the challenge, I was hoping I’d be left out but I’m kind of bummed because I love speed typing challenges. I also had a revelation today of: once I make merge, hopefully I can fade into the back and save money for a few rounds while sacrificing immunity. Play weaker and lower my threat level because I cannot go on spending at this rate if I want to win in the end game.
Simon | @Qummah
I decided to team up with Vikram in the challenge after my conversation with Borges. We agreed that we need to be in two different teams to have all info about both parts of the challenge and what would happen in them.
Sebby | @Qummah
For this challenge, I'm once again gonna do what my tribe wants and I won't mess up. The tribe wants to bid 2.5k-3k so of course I went with the lowest option. I think working well together can really help us solve this challenge fast. I don't want second place, I want first because I don't wanna go to a mock tribal again. I think that soon lying may come into play because my tribe likes to spend their money when I wanna keep it. Hopefully our tribe can get first again!
$pecies: $urvivors ready... Go!
Jessica | @Sajid
I kept messing up in this challenge and then we still had 4 minutes left when Jonas, Sophie and I finished it. We could have gone for more points but Jonas made us stop.
Nerf | @Khutob
We're choking. WE LOST. BRO [BLEEP]! I'm actually [bleeping] furious. That sucks.
Deaze | @Khutob
God I feel like such an idiot. I cooked the challenge up so hard.
Zach | @Khutob
Oh god, this really really sucks! I'm not gonna lie, Deaze messed up so bad it honestly looks like it was on purpose. Even with this bonus from bidding, we're gonna need some hope and something to curse other teams with.
Vikram | @Qummah
I messed up in the challenge. [Bleep] I put another [bleeping] target on my back. Poor performance in challenges can send people home and one just happened right here.
$pecies ⚖
06-Aug-21 09:26 PM
$pecies: (shakes his head at all the blunders made by the castaways) The challenge is over! It's time to reveal which tribe gets to skip tribal this round. Most teams screwed up one way or another...So it will likely come down to who messed up less. But first, let's see how much each tribe bid for the Medallion of Power for an edge in the climbing part.
Average bid for Khutob -$3,060
Average bid for Sajid - $1,814
Average bid for Qummah - $1
Congrats to Qummah for tying the record for lowest average bid. I mean you can't go any lower.
$pecies: Without revealing the final scores, the tribe that came in first place is.....
Khutob!
@Khutob wins immunity!
Congratulations, Khutob! No tribal council for you. You may head back to camp with the tribal immunity camel!
@Qummah and @Sajid, good efforts. I will see you guys at tribal council where you'll find out if your tribe came in last place or not after you have voted.
Jonas: (shouts at Qummah) Offer stands, Qummah! Bloody for 1k each.
$pecies: Well, maybe you should worry about your own tribal first. Grab your stuff and head back to camp!
(edited)
Kasnoy | @Khutob
We’ve won the immunity challenge in first! Should I put out a one-dollar bounty for Jonas? Thoughts?
Zach | @Khutob
SOMEHOW the other tribes did worse than us. Nerf, Deaze, and I almost beasted and probably could've beasted to 250 if we didn't mess up so much.
Clink | @Khutob
I’m happy!!! I don’t have to go to tribal. I wasted some money but that’s ok because I did not wanna risk tribal at all. I just hope Goose survives this tribal. I have a feeling Qummah is [bleep]ed.
Deaze | @Khutob
It feels great to have won immunity again but gosh I took a huge L on it though. I guess I overestimated the other tribes and they completely ate ass. We probably could have won it without the 19% challenge advantage but something in me felt so bad for my mistakes from the start, that I had to wager something. Ugggggh I dropped another 4k on this and now I'm really in the weeds for it. I gotta really cool it with the spending and I will make it my goal not to have to spend anything until the merge. It is still pretty up in the air as we're not sure which tribe will actually be voting someone out but one thing to remember was that Qummah had already prepared to vote someone off, so I think that is still going to be the most likely scenario as none of them made on effort at all to bid for this medallion. I hope it's not Sebby, Bloody or Vikram as I can easily link up with any of them at the next swap.
Vikram | @Qummah
The universe told a sign when I told my tribemates yesterday that I can sit out. I should have ugh. Now my game is at stake. And after so long, I may get 16th position!♂️ I should trust my alliances now, else I’m done and outta here. I may be gone out of here in no time. Maybe I should use my tokens. This game is giving me either ups or downs, I'd rather be in the middle Now I need to tell them about my idol tokens to earn their trust and prove that I will use it for them too in case need arises.
Bloody | @Qummah
The challenge results were expected. I'm glad Vikram caught his mistake before we went to tribal council, it gave us time to switch our bids and prepare for the bad news. I’m bummed about it, but if we’re being honest, I hold Simon just as culpable: he should have called out to Vikram in the challenge to change his wording on his climb down.
Simon | @Qummah
I was so hyped for this challenge because I knew that I could get a really good score and then Vik literally killed our chances. I'm not even mad that he messed up big time though. I'm mad because I told him to be prepared for going down to make sure he won't mess up and he still messed up. And if either Borges or I got voted out at the next tribal because of it, I will be pissed as heck.
Goose | @Qummah
Right after Vikram and Simon finished their part of the challenge, Vik told us that he messed up on the challenge. So we all just decided "let's save our money and not bid on an advantage we don't need" and we all bid a dollar. It might put targets on out backs later on as challenge threats, but first we have to get to "later on" for that to even be a possibility. That being said, I am kinda upset that happened just because I felt like I personally did really well on the challenge. For all that work to go to waste is a little demoralizing.
Sebby | @Qummah
Okay Vikram messed up big time but he's good socially so I don't know people will go for him. Vik will be defensive, meaning if I can show him that I'm with him and don't care about his mistake, we could get closer. I still want to go for Goose.

DAY 16
SAJID
The scene cuts to Sajid's camp where tension is high.
Joe | @Sajid
So Jonas is trying to get Sophie to throw a name, probably Jessica, to get us two (me and Jess) to vote Sophie but we wanted to anyway. Sophie is probably leaning towards Jonas right now but I don’t know where I’m gonna go. Once again Jessica and I can make the decision as to where the votes go because we’re the baddest bitches in this game.
Jessica | @Sajid
Help this is a mess. I literally don’t know what to do. It’s getting weird. Jonas and Sophie keep sending stuff at the same time. It feels like a trap.
Jonas | @Sajid
Sophie has the worst poker face of all time. She is definitely voting for me and likewise for her. Let’s just hope Moss and Joe vote with me because I do not trust Jessica very much at all. I thought I could trust Jessica but I didn’t know she was a rat until after last tribal. Had I known I’d have drawn [bleeping] rocks for Greg. I’m not here to play passive.
Sophie | @Sajid
Jonas is trying to get me to say either Jess or Joe. I'm assuming Jess, since he brought up that she's apparently close with Deaze. Now, I gave Jess the heads up on that. I also told Joe but didn't mention the Deaze part to him because I don't know what he knows. I did mention it to Moss. I'm trying to get a rally against Jonas because bitch tries to shit on me last tribal. I don't give a [bleep] what the hell he has to say. I'm a certified janitor in this game. I can clean the [bleep] up, except for when I can't then I just cry. But what is Jonas gonna do? Nake me his new Bloody and Kasnoy? I'm sure everyone's already really [bleeping] tired of him. Like Jesus hell, he does it at every single challenge (to call out people).
Jessica | @Sajid
Coming into this round, I kinda just wanted to play a bit UTR and let other people decide as I feel like I’ve been a bit bold. So it’s time to lay low but sadly that did not work at all as literally everyone is counting on my vote here. I don’t like playing in the middle. I really wanted to be a loyal player but oh well. So I have two options: stick with Sophie or stick with Jonas. Honestly I just let Joe decide for us because I want him to make a decision for us since I made it last time to vote Greg out and I just want to let him know that I trust him. But I’m glad the option he chose as it’s the same one I would've taken. Quite frankly I just like Sophie a lot more than I do Jonas right now. Jonas is way too dramatic and bold.
Joe | @Sajid
I feel like Jonas is unnecessarily sketch. If he does go here, would I be too upset? No. I’ve had a sneaky idea but I’m not sure whether to tell anyone. We vote Jonas here and have it be under the pretence of an all girls alliance that I was almost victim of. This would give me a chance to play double agent but I can’t bring this up organically. It could work great for us but it is also very awkward for me to bring up and not look shady.
Moss | @Sajid
I think I made my first big mistake in not pushing to at least tie the vote with Greg at the last tribal. It would have been messy but would have kept a loyal ally in Greg. Joe is now saying he and Jess are sketched out by Jonas because he's worried about Sophie having an idol, which is a valid concern and he might throw a rogue vote. I told Joe I'm ok with him throwing a rogue vote on me but I lied because I know Jonas' rogue vote will be on Jess. I suggested to him to keep the vote on Sophie but he was pushing hard to vote out Jonas because "Jess is sketched out by him". Oh okay, I'm sure you're listening to Jess, who gives up no game info to me.
Jonas | @Sajid
New plan, get Joe to vote Jess? Me Joe Moss as the majority because I’m calling an idol play here by Sophie. Bitch thought she was slick. I know in my heart of hearts Sophie has an idol and Jessica has been feeding her info. So clip her side chick and laugh in her face if I pull it off. Sophie never missed any opportunity to look for advantages at camp and then she went about 24 hours straight without looking until I called her out. I think if I had to make a call, Sophie has 2 idol tokens and Jessica probably has 1. It’s also a potential that Sophie has something that would negate the need for all 3 tokens. I don’t suspect this tribal is straight forward, which is why Jessica needs to be fed to the gullet with the story that Sophie is going home 4-1 and she gets to watch as her friend misplays an idol and she goes home! Then we throw the next challenge to finish the job.
Moss | @Sajid
This is gonna be another messy vote. Apparently on the Greg vote, Jonas was pushing Sophie a bit with Jess and Joe. I knew he pushed it with Joe but didn't know about Jess and her getting mad and wanting to save Sophie. Sophie told me Jonas told her that Jess/Joe are a duo and duos are scary. She also said Jonas told her that Jess and Deaze were close and that Jess should go. It's very specific so it sounds truthful, but she's also a known schemer so I'm unsure. I wanna ask Jonas but don't want him leaking to her that I asked. Let's see.
Jonas | @Sajid
Moss is very hard to talk to but no one has the work ethic I have. So I know no one else has gotten as close to her as I have. She has told me everything, including that Sophie knew I wanted to vote her out. Moss said she's down to vote for Jessica if I can pull Joe in. I’m going to talk to Joe about voting out Jessica, which is admittedly a HARD sell.
Joe | @Sajid
JONAS IS SO PARANOID. He somehow thinks Sophie has two idol tokens and a vote block or something. This is not the vote I needed right now. At least I’m not gonna go. I honestly think going for Jonas is the better situation because even if he stays and we make enemies out of him, he has no power as he’s made so many enemies already. I just think he would be less dangerous to go for and if he goes, I don’t have to stress about him and his paranoia.
Jonas | @Sajid
I kinda wanna throw a vote onto Moss but I like her. It's just Joe shutting down the voting Jess plan before I even got to talk about it with him. So like if I threw a vote on Jess for safety then I don't know how Joe would even break that tie.
Joe | @Sajid
WHY DOES HE WANT TO DO A THROW AWAY VOTE ON MOSS?! I swear if we don’t even lose someone. I think that’s the worse outcome, because then it causes unnecessary tension amongst the tribe.
Moss | @Sajid - 1 Idol Token
I told Joe, if Jonas goes here, I go next since Jess is closer to Sophie than me and then he said oh no because I'm closer to you and by proxy Jess will vote with me. So here Jess is unmovable on her vote and we have to follow her, but now next round she'll just easily follow you? The logic doesn't add up. I'm gonna ask Jonas if he has tokens and I'm gonna give him mine if he has 2 so he can get an idol. But I have to be careful how I frame it with him because he has loose lips. Like why would he tell Joe he would throw a rogue vote??? Of course that raises suspicion.
Jonas | @Sajid
WHY DO I GOTTA LIKE MOSS SO MUCH? She just came to me and said she had an idol token which she would offer to me if I had a second one in case Sophie played one. However I did not have one of my own. I'm torn on where I should put my vote. If there wasn’t an idol play by Sophie and I voted for Moss, it would have ruined a relationship that was pretty good there between us.
(edited)
Jonas and Sophie quarreled in front of their tribemates.
Jonas: Bitch don't play coy. You're voting me too.
Sophie: You tried to get me to say someone's name so you have resources to ✨throw me under the bus ✨ with? You told me you and I were in the same boat and this was a salvageable relationship to turn it against someone else here and then tried calling me out for talking to people and made shit up?
Jonas: I asked you who you were voting and you dodged the question? Wow so master plan of me. It's a 5 person tribe. If you don't ask literally every person, you're a clown. We literally are in the same boat - we are both catching votes tonight. What was made up? Literally nothing! You had a Final 2 with Zach and Goose both and Clink, and a Final 3 with Clink and Lars Who the [bleep] makes an alliance with someone on another tribe on Day 1? Girl you messy. The reason I called u out is because you're uncomfortable with confrontation. This game ain't gonna be all sunshine and rainbows girl, if you want me to go home I'm gonna make it uncomfortable for you.
Sophie: I don’t know where you’re getting shit Sure I was close to people but being close at the first tribe doesn’t mean a damned thing because it’s the first tribe. I don't know where in the hell you’re getting the Final 2 shit, only thing I WILL own up to is the Goose one because I KNOW I did that. And again if you wanna argue, talk to me in private but we both know the whole tribe is gonna hear about it someway or another. There’s no one we need to put a show on for.
Joe | @Sajid
THEY'RE FIGHTING. My paranoia is kicking in. If this is a fake fight to make me feel comfortable, ew...
Jessica | @Sajid
I just really trust Sophie, she hasn’t given me a reason not to. That being said, I am a little suspicious that Jonas and Sophie are fake fighting but I don’t know, we will see. I’m gonna comfort Sophie and reassure her. Jonas is a literal mess. I kinda hope we are actually going to tribal because I honestly can’t take much more of Jonas but if not at least I can use him in the future I hope. It would be nice to hear Bloody and the other players’ side of the Jonas situation.

DAY 16
QUMMAH
The camera shifts to Qummah's camp where everyone is preparing for the worst case scenario.
Bloody | @Qummah
The current dynamic of Qummah is interesting. On one side, we’ve got Vikram and kind of Sebby, though that dude is so nonexistent. When we’re chatting, he doesn’t really say anything. I think some of these players need to learn how to have two way conversations with people, like I’m so sick of asking him about his day and asking him about what he watches and what he does. Dude has never once asked about me. On the other side of the coin, we have Borges and Goose who are lil schemers. To them, I’m a resource and a number. So I’ve been letting them lead with the game talk and have been supporting with small tidbits of info. And then, potentially the most well positioned in the tribe, we have Simon, who is still connected to Borges through OG tribe, but has also made strong connections with Vik and me. Nothing too game related, I’m starting to get the feeling he’s allergic to game talk.
Simon | @Qummah
I'm talking to Bloody each day about lot of things. I try to avoid strategy conversations with her because I know that she is close with Goose and I don't trust Goose at all. I just don't want make the same mistake I made when I was talking with Jordanne about Zach. I just need to make Bloody think that I'm this likeable dude who tries to joke about everything. And I think that I'm doing pretty good job with that. This might seems weird but Jonas is someone who I might consider align with if we both made merge because he is someone who has an OTT personality and he will get all attention from me and my other allies. But there is a problem - I'm building a good bond with Bloody and working with Jonas might cost me that connection.
Bloody | @Qummah
For this vote, my task has been clear: maintain two names. Sebby’s was easy as Goose and Borges brought up the idea of voting him again but letting Goose know that Sebby said his name was also important. It leaves no leeway for a last minute switch, and it proves my value and loyalty as an ally. It also lets Goose know he’s in danger without me. I do have worries that Goose has a mission to carry out for Jonas, and that mission is getting me out. So long as I have Vikram, Sebby and Simon secured. I should be safe. While I remain skeptical of Borges, we have grown a lot closer as well. I’m hoping that I can continue that relationship.
Vikram | @Qummah
I have improved the gameplay aspects and social aspects of my game just to make a [bleeping] silly mistake in another challenge. Now I may be going 99%. I don't think Simon will be fine with it but my alliance with Sebby and Bloody may be the best shot for me. If I vote Sebby, the vote can easily go 3-2-1, 3 me 2 Sebby 1 Goose. So I need to vote with Sebby and Bloody. As long as I stay, I don't care who goes, even though I don't like the sound of it. I hope Bloody isn't like 'saving him will let me in danger'. If she thinks so, then I am done.
(edited)
Bloody | @Qummah
Okay wild thoughts. Vikram going here wouldn’t be the worst for my game. It would be bad, don’t get me wrong, but not like game ending bad. We’re about to go through another swap and or merge and so far Sajid is the only tribe that’s retained all their original members, which immediately puts some sort of target on us come merge. Vikram and I could be seen as a clear duo. I still would rather he stays here, but I think it’s also important to establish with Borges and Goose that if he’s the vote, I’m also okay with it and that my loyalties ultimately lie with them.
Borges | @Qummah
Goose is saying Vikram's name to me, which is not bad but I'd rather do Sebby.
Goose | @Qummah
The way I see it, the attention is gonna be on two people, Vik and Sebby. Vik was the one who, [bleep] up on the challenge. Messing up that badly automatically puts a major target on your back as a challenge liability. He did, however, admit to it and apologize for it, which makes me think he is committed to the tribe and committed to each of us. Sebby has been loyal and friendly the whole time we've been on this tribe, and I've probably talked to him more than a couple people on this tribe, definitely more than Simon. However, he has always kinda been on the outs of the tribe as he was going to the boot at the last tribal we went to.
Sebby | @Qummah
This is super simple, I just have to once again say Goose to Vik and then let Vik spread it. It is also easier because people would just want to do the easy vote again. I think Borges and Simon trust me more. So I specifically asked if they think people will go for Goose because it's not me directly throwing his name and it sort of makes it seem like Goose's name was already out there. Simon told me he wants Goose too, which is amazing.
Simon | @Qummah
Personally, I would love to vote Goose out at this point, but if Goose would be voted out here, Borges and I would make Bloody, Clink and a few other people mad. We need OG Qummah and Khutob tribes united going into merge, but we’re fractured as hell. Zach wants my head on a silver plate. Clink told Goose that Sophie was the mastermind behind sending him to EoE, but I don't think that was Sophie, I'm sure that Lars was responsible for that because he got a huge influence on Sophie. It looks like only the OG red tribe is not fractured at this point, and that's why getting Sebby out might be a good idea and that is what I think will happen at this tribal. I like him but he is not giving me any reason to keep him in.
Goose | @Qummah
From what I see, I am in a power position for the first time all game. I have a solid alliance of three with Borges and Bloody (called "Boose"), which by itself is half the tribe. In addition, I would like to say I have good enough relationships with the other three that none of them would want to vote me out. So I think I'm safe, but then again I said that before my first tribal, and we all know how that turned out. I think overall, none of us really want to vote anyone out, but it's a necessary part of the progression of the game, so we all recognize this has to happen.
Bloody | @Qummah
In this game, information is everything. The most dangerous thing that could happen tonight is that I don’t know where the true vote lies. I really don’t think I’m at risk here. Jonas has inadvertently made me a shield for the end game. Can y’all tell I’m spiraling? Paranoia is paying me a visit today.
Vikram | @Qummah
I should be less paranoid but I just can't be after messing up big time. Simon thinks we are being played? Either I'm playing well or getting played well. I really hope I'm not getting blindsided and that too with 2 tokens and an advantage. That will suck big time ugh…
Simon | @Qummah
I got that really weird vibe that they will blindside either me or Borges.
Borges | @Qummah
It looks like the vote will fall on Sebby but I don’t know who he is voting for, which concerns me. It can still be a blindside on me or Simon. Sebby doesn't want to talk about the [bleeping] vote? So the vote is me (????) I can't handle swaps. If I end up getting out here, I will leave with a feeling my story still hasn't been told here, my game is financially set up and I think I can maneuver myself IF I'M NOT [BLEEP]ED ON THIS SHITTY TRIBE. I hate tribes with only UTR players, that sucks a lot.

NIGHT 16
FINAL 16 TRIBAL COUNCIL (QUMMAH & SAJID)
@Qummah and @Sajid arrive at tribal council, and each attendee sets their torches down and takes a seat.
$pecies: We're more than 2 weeks into the game. Looking at our four original tribes, OG Qummah is two members down while OG Sajid has lost no members. Is this something that is on everyone's mind or are we at a point where OG tribes no longer matter?
↳ Vikram: OG Sajid has technically lost no one but practically have a pretty much anti-Sajid member in the name of Jonas. So it isn't actually Kumbaya in OG Sajid. And I am not saying it as I'm OG Sajid, but it is the fact. So I do think OG tribes don't matter much as we have been in new tribes more number of days.
↳ Goose: I would have to agree with Vik, OG tribes don't really matter at this point. While I am now only one of three OG Qummah, keep in mind that the other two people from my OG tribe voted me off of said tribe, so it's not like I have any more loyalty to them than I have towards anyone on Qummah 2.0.
↳ Sophie: OG tribes will never not have some sort of reoccurring power at least somewhere in the game, but I don’t think they’re the largest influence here. Hell I voted out someone from my previous tribe (looks towards Goose) but everyone has their own different experiences with their OG tribes that might influence the prevalence.
↳ Moss: I think a lot of time has passed and people don't necessarily look at OG tribal lines because a lot of things could have happened at the other tribes, so banking on that may not always be what's best for each person's game.
↳ Jonas: While I don't care about OG tribes, I'd love to see OG Qummah go down 3 members.
$pecies: So, at this point in the game, there must be some sense of who is good at challenges, who is good with people and who is good at managing money or a combination of the three. How does this factor into your vote, if at all?
↳ Borges: The challenge skills don't weight too much on my vote since I believe a swap is coming soon. We also have noticed some really bad people at managing money and I guess we should just wait till they have no money, but it's not like they'll run out of it any time soon. Lastly, this cast is kinda amazing in the sense of managing people, so we have tons of people that are awesome in that category, to beat them you shouldn't be thinking of getting every social player eliminated, but being a social player yourself.
↳ Bloody: Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and that’s the beauty of working as a tribe: recognizing and playing to people's strengths, and also lifting them up at their weakest points. Unfortunately, we also sometimes have to vote one of our own out. Does performance or perception factor into my vote? Of course it does but so does character, so does teamwork, so does conversation. Those things to me hold deeper importance.
$pecies: The theme of the season is Extortion. How has this featured for you in the votes so far, and if it hasn't, how are you expecting it to feature in the votes moving forward?
↳ Sebby: Extortion has had no affect on my vote all season long due to the fact that I haven't seen it in play yet. I don't think it's smart to be scared of something we haven't seen happened. Once I know what it is and how it works, then I'll be able to factor it into my vote but since I have no info on it, I really can't factor it into my vote. Once someone is extorted it's probably going to start being a factor in lots of votes and people might be worried about it but at this point I don't think anyone really is factoring it in.
↳ Simon: At some point we were informed that in one of challenges we got chance to win Extortion Advantage but after that I've never heard about that again and with that my votes were not really affected by that. And that's what scares me little bit because going further in this season we would need money to do something in challenges and if someone will play an extortion advantage on us, that might be really detrimental to any of our games later
↳ Joe: Not at all for me. Money has clearly been a factor in some people’s votes, like Jonas’ bounty for Kasnoy and Bloody, but it could soon.
$pecies: With that, it's time to vote. Tonight, you're voting against one of your own before the complete immunity results is revealed to you. Only the losing tribe's votes will be read. Jessica, you're up first.
One by one, the players make their way to the voting booth to vote.
Sebby (votes against Goose)
That's where majority is at and I really want to survive this tribal.
Sophie (votes against Jonas)
Jonas, I’ve unloaded all my qualms onto you already. You were someone I wanted to work with but you very clearly went behind my back, and I can’t be comfortable with you in the game. you kept making things out to be incorrect or leaking them all over and I’m honestly kind of sick of it and your drama. Sorry boo.
$pecies returns to the voting podium with the voting urn.
$pecies: Well, as promised, we shall find out which tribe performed the worst in the immunity challenge. A question for Sajid, have you speculated on why everyone in Qummah bid only one dollar?
Sophie: Throwing the challenge or probably didn't wanna waste spending money.
Jonas: Maybe they got an amazing score and felt they could save the money or like Sophie said, maybe a throw.
$pecies: They were sure confident....
...that there was no way you could have screwed up the challenge as much as they did.
@Sajid wins immunity!
$pecies: Congratulations, Sajid! No one is going home from your tribe. Your votes will be kept safe with us until after the game. You may grab your torches and head back to camp. Good night.
Jessica: Well that’s a mess. Good luck, Qummah!
Sajid exits tribal council.
$pecies: Qummah, it's time to find out which one of you will be leaving us tonight... If anyone has idol tokens and would like to play them, now would be the time to do so.
No one stands up.
$pecies: Alright, once the votes are read, the decision is final, the person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote...
Goose
Sebby

That's two votes Sebby, one vote Goose.

$pecies: That's 4 and that's enough. Sebby, I'll need you to bring me your torch.
Sebby brings his torch to $pecies.
$pecies: Sebby, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go.
Sebby walks away. Once out of view, $pecies speaks again.
$pecies: Well, the next time you are here, will you be the next target that everyone just piles their votes on? Something for you to think about. Grab your torches and head back to camp. Good night!
FINAL WORDS
Sebby | 16th Place
Man I really didn't see that coming to be honest. I'm super bummed to go out and it was a total blindside! I don't know what I did wrong and I'm super sad that I couldn't go further. Thank you for casting me. I loved every moment!
Sebby bequeaths two of his OG tribemates, Deaze and Joe, $1000 each.
