$eason 19(M) Episode 06
$pecies: Previously on $urvivor...
Vikram and Clink both found two idol tokens. While Nerf seemed to be at the center of the dynamics on @Khutob, the dynamics on the other two tribes were much less clear with many different groups and alliances.
The castaways discovered that two tribes would attend tribal council, but with only one castaway being voted out of the game. At the immunity challenge, Qummah submitted an average bid of $1 after a mistake by Vikram destroyed their chances, and Khutob won immunity, sending Sajid and Qummah to scramble.
At @Sajid, Jonas and Sophie came to blows over the vote, as Joe, Jessica and Moss scrambled to put their own agendas into place. At @Qummah, Bloody and Vikram had a “Camp 2 - Zufajid” alliance with Sebby but neither wanted to stick their necks out for Sebby after his name was thrown out again. In the end, Sajid was safe as Vikram's error was too much to overcome, and Sebby was sent packing unanimously.
15 are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

NIGHT 16
SAJID
Sajid returns to camp after attending the mock tribal council.
Sophie | @Sajid
I think the mock tribal has brought Jess and Joe closer to me? Or has it pushed them away? I don’ t know.
Jessica | @Sajid
All that drama and stress for no reason, but I was kinda expecting it so I just tried to not stir much at tribal. I’m fine with it as I got to keep both Jonas and Sophie who I think would both work with me in the future, and I can use Jonas as a meatshield because he’s crazy. Overall it’s not the end of the world but I would have liked it to be a real tribal, not gonna lie.
Jonas | @Sajid
All this bullshit for us to just be in 2nd place in the last challenge. It was kinda funny to be honest.
Moss | @Sajid
I loved the mock tribal! It further drove a wedge between Jonas and Sophie, and it exposed Joe for his priorities which is to protect Jess at all costs. It gave me a lot of info.
Joe | @Sajid
I’m worried now. I don’t know if I’ve strengthened or weakened my relationship with Jonas after that whole ordeal all for it to be nothing. It would’ve been better if he actually left. We went through all the motions to gain nothing from it. I guess certain safety for another day is worth it but still.

DAY 17
QUMMAH
It’s a new day at Qummah’s camp after voting out Sebby last night.
Vikram | @Qummah
I feel bad for Sebby, ugh. He trusted me a lot after all since he voted for Goose. Had I not made that mistake in the challenge, maybe I would have saved him.
Goose | @Qummah
I have an alliance of three with myself, Borges, and Bloody. I think the three of us are in a good spot, and I think we're basically going to be able to dictate the next vote. The last vote was fairly obviously going to be Sebby, the one thing that I was concerned about was the fact that Sebby was voting for me, and that in any case of an idol play I would have probably been the one gone. I was considering throwing a hinky vote on like Simon or Vik or someone because I also would have gotten the minority bonus, but that would have been incredibly suspicious either way so I didn’t. Now if we go to another tribal it's going to be a lot more interesting because I think me, Borges, and Bloody are all safe. As for the choice between Simon and Vik, there are definitely pros and cons of keeping each of them but if I were to make the decision right now I would probably vote for Simon.
Simon | @Qummah
Literally nothing has changed since we swapped. Borges is my ride or die from day 5 while Goose is really suspicious for me at this point in the game because it's clear that he made some sort of deal with Jonas and Zach when they were sent to EoE last time.
Bloody | @Qummah
Last vote has boosted my confidence so much. I’m feeling good about my reads and connections. Going to need that confidence as we head into a swap in the next round or two.
Borges | @Qummah
I want this 5 in Khutob 2.0 on the next stage of the game, however if I were to choose someone to get out, I'd do Bloody. Although I do trust her more than I trust Vikram, she is much more dangerous and I kinda see her being a force not on my side, so that scares me.
Simon | @Qummah
Borges and I talked and we noticed that Bloody is in too good of a spot in this tribe and that we need to blindside her pretty soon. Goose and Vikram don’t seem to like each other. So Borges could convince Goose to go after Vik and he will take Goose's side. I would take Vik’s side and will convince him to go for Goose. With that we will have one vote on Goose and one vote on Vik. Then Bloody will be forced to pick between two of them and then one more vote would be cast on either Vik or Goose. Both Borges and I will put our votes on Bloody and with that we would create a 2-2-1 vote and in the revote we can take out Bloody!
Vikram | @Qummah
Simon is so sketchy. He is trying to not show off where he is searching by going everywhere. “I got one out of every camp area because I didn't know what we needed to finish the chores." I'm not believing it, Simon. Why is Borges searching everything too? Something is fishy. These 2 might have a clue and are searching in one area without letting me or Bloody know what it is. If Borges and Simon keep on doing this, I’m gonna flip on them soon for sure!
Vikram: Borges, the tasks have already been finished, right?
Borges: Yea, they have!
Vikram: Then why did you go to all the locations again? Bloody, it seems like we have got a clue after winning the Final 17 challenge and we need to search the mail station. That’s why many trips to mail were taken.
Borges: If that refers to me, I go to the mail only since Final 18.
Borges | @Qummah
I’m mad. I want Vikram out right now! Vikram, be sure Imma do whatever I can to sink your game to the ground. I’d want to lose a challenge so Vikram can get voted out.
Bloody | @Qummah
WHAT DRAMA DID I MISS? Vikram “confronted” half the [bleeping] tribe. I’m dying. This is so funny. Vikram noticed Borges and Simon were traversing the entirety of camp multiple times a day (which yeah, I have eyes too lmao). So he confronts Borges. Borges gets pissed and doesn't tell Vikram the clue but then Vikram finds the clue anyway and makes that awkward statement at camp about "yeah there's a clue at the mailbox". Borges goes "why are you being a bitch at camp". (laughs) Vikram is scrambling, Borges is scrambling. Clearly, this is leaving Borges and Vikram very emotional and insecure, which is lovely for my game.
DAY 17
KHUTOB
The scene cuts to Khutob’s camp.
Deaze | @Khutob
Tribe dynamics as a whole is positive. Everyone is feeling a lot more inclined to working with each other for the long run. I'm also feeling a lot more comfortable with Kasnoy, but I can never put the thought of him and Nerf still working together. But honestly, everyone still managed to put in some money into the pot for the last challenge and if they were feeling any kind of reed, they would have not even bothered, which makes me believe tribe unity is at an all time high, except that I think Clink feels he's on the bottom, which confirms why he paid so much in the challenge to ensure us the win.
Zach | @Khutob
The only game I can really talk about is what has happened and what will happen in the future, because our tribe doesn't want to go to tribal, like at all. The thought of having to vote one of our own again is so difficult. If I had to guess, it'll probably be Clink because of him voting in the minority, but who knows. Anything can happen.
Kasnoy | @Khutob
It seems like Clink has been really trying to up his social status within the tribe, going to lengths to try and be “besties” with Nerf and me, or at least that’s the word he’s using with us. I’ve discussed a little bit of this with Nerf, expressing concern that he may be doing the same with Deaze and Zach. The one blind spot that Nerf and I have as the two from OG Sajid is that it’s very easy to become approached as a pair and treated as a pair. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to fearmonger against us like that, right? In the near future, I worry about if Zach and Deaze may try to work with Clink to create a “one of each” kind of tribe, by taking out one of Nerf or I at our next tribal council; but at the same time, I have a feeling another tribe will be dissolved into two groups of seven after this next tribal council, as three tribes of six generally doesn’t hold up well enough to provide a solid group foundation for the merge. We need more integration.
Nerf | @Khutob
I love Kasnoy, I think of him as my ride or die. I trust him more than anyone and I don't see myself EVER betraying him in this game. I don't think I could, honestly. I love the dude and he's so honest and kind. I don't know how someone can be so kind and compassionate in a game of BETRAYAL and DECEIT, and he still manages to be the kindest soul I've ever seen. I know originally I found him a bit annoying but goodness, he's such a pleasure to talk to as someone to just have fun with. Kasnoy and I also talked about how Clink is probably saying the same thing to everyone for social game. I feel like a swap is coming up soon, which is why I wanna start upping my social game to make sure that I can keep my allies with me as a unit and continue to try and fly under the radar.
Clink | @Khutob
These last couple of days have been really draining both mentally and physically. I think the only player on my radar right now is just Deaze. Justice for Lars! Meanwhile, Zach and I don't talk anymore. I don’t even know where his head is. Please tribe swap - I still wanna get off this forsaken tribe. I’m guessing Goose or Simon might go home for Qummah but I have a slight confidence that Goose might survive. If he fumbles the bag, I’m going to be disappointed.
$pecies: Come on in, guys!
Khutob is the first tribe to arrive at the Challenge Arena.
$pecies: Khutob, getting your first look at the new Qummah and new Sajid tribe.
Sajid walks in with all 5 members intact while Qummah walks in without Sebby in sight.
$pecies: Sebby was voted off at the last tribal council.
Joe | @Sajid
SEBBY WENT . He sent me $1k though. King!
Deaze | @Khutob
Sebby . Dammit man he was definitely one of my strongest allies, him leaving severely leaves me with one less endgame option. I still have Jessica as a potential ride or die but no one else stands out to me as someone I can trust.
Nerf | @Khutob
SEBBY?! Holy shit.. I was very shocked! I thought Sebby was one of the people who was doing GOOD in the game, so I feel like the only GOOD Zufaf member right now is Deaze. I'm not happy he went, honestly. The OG Khutob trio, Borges, Moss and Simon, stays in the game and it's very concerning. I do want to keep my allies intact to be worried about them, and try to use these bonds to try and kill them off. Those people are the people I'm scared of right now, and seeing NONE of them go home is shocking.
$pecies: Now that each tribe is down to 5 members…
Jonas: We're gonna drop some buffs.
Sophie: Final 15 merge, to be honest.
Vikram: Mutiny?
Deaze: What the [bleep] is going on?
$pecies: It's been awhile since we got people sent to the EoE. So, Edge of Extortion is back y'all!
Jonas: Call it now. 3 people go to EoE 1 goes home, swap into 2 tribes of 7.
$pecies: Oh Jonas, imagine being that predictable. Can't relate. This time, if you want to be safe, you would want to go to the Edge.
Today you’re faced with a classic $urvivor challenge which is simply called “Me vs We”. You either bid for "me" to go to EoE for your own safety or you bid for "We" for tribal immunity.
You CANNOT bid for both options. Everyone has to take part in this challenge and bid at least $1 on either option. Two tribal immunity idols are up for bids while there is up to one individual immunity necklace available for each tribe.
As usual, your individual bid won’t be revealed. Only the average bids of each tribe for tribal immunity will be. If no one in your tribe bids for "me", no one from your tribe will get to visit EoE. In such a case where everyone in your tribe feels safe and/or puts "we" above "me", each member of your tribe will have to pay $1,900 for the union tax.
Everyone weighed their options and came up with their own strategy.
(edited)
Zach | @Khutob
Our entire tribe is in a spot where we don't want to have to vote someone out. I don't see myself being selfish and doing “Me”, I don't have much trust in people other than my tribe, so going to tribal to vote another of the people that I trust is not ideal.
Kasnoy | @Khutob
I am going to put full trust in my tribe and work together with them to try and get this tribe immunity, with Deaze acting as our method of evading the Union Tax. It seems we’ve all agreed to allow him to take the “Me” immunity. I’ve not for a second considered doing the “Me,” as I am all the way going for the “We.” You know how I am. I’m the kind of person to ride at the front of an infantry line, on a horse with my sword raised.
Deaze | @Khutob
I'll be honest I'd be happy with the tribal immunity and all but more importantly I know I'm going to be extremely preoccupied by personal things on my mind today, so I hope my tribe will have my back in this, because it's going to take everyone else's bid to ensure we win immunity.
Nerf | @Khutob
"ME?! I WANTED ME!" That’s how I felt. I did wanna go for “Me”, I wanted to use it as a way to try and strike up a bond with the people going from the other tribes, but.. obviously I couldn't do that. Deaze decided he wanted to go, so I let him do his thing. But, it did scare me, no lie. I've lost severe trust with Clink and Zach as I did before, as I just feel like this tribe says the same thing to EVERYONE. I mean, for example. What Deaze did today, he went to BOTH ME and KASNOY about saying "hey can you do me a favor" blah blah blah type bullshit. Obviously he's just doing it for trust, I think that's very apparent to me. It's more of a "damn okay", and I don't really care too much. Just makes me trust Kasnoy more in the game, though.
Clink | @Khutob
I really wanted to bid for “Me”! I was going to announce to the tribe that I have no money and go for it. Sadly Deaze beat me to it. It will seem like a dickhead move for me to just gun for it. I mean...I can.
Goose | @Qummah
Well thanks to the $urvivor Goddess, I have been randomly selected by my tribe as the delegate from Qummah to be sent to the Edge, so I am bidding on the “me” option. I think if this tribe were more divided then this would be a much more interesting challenge, but I am seeing this group of 5 as being pretty solid and tight, so going forward, I feel pretty darn good about a swap if I am able to stick with these people.
Borges | @Qummah
I was considering to bid for “Me” but that’s too sneaky. I started pushing the idea for someone to go for “Me” so we can avoid the Union Tax. I just wanted someone I trust to go there, and ugh it wasn’t me or Simon but I hope I can rely on Goose. I don't want to lose this challenge and that's why I tried to force my tribe to bid higher, although Vikram was being insistent about how he didn't want that. I’m going to bid a little bit lower than what my tribe planned, just so if anyone notices, it falls on Vikram and definitely not on me - the guy that pushed the average higher. The good thing is that, with Goose on EoE, even if we lose, me and Simon got at least rocks, so we are good.
Vikram | @Qummah - 2 Idol Tokens
I would have done "Me" if I felt in danger in the tribe but since I have two idol tokens that can be used as a micro idol to negate a vote, I’m planning to bid on “We”. If I convince Bloody to bid on tribal immunity too, then even if we go to tribal, we won't have a problem. But I will have to tell Bloody that I have not one but two tokens though.
Simon | @Qummah
I love the whole concept of the challenge because it really forces you to think about your motivation in the game. Most normal people would pick the “me” option because in the end we all are here to win the $eason and potential advantages can help you with that. I think that my tribe is too "united" to fight for that EoE spot. They don't even consider that we might lose that challenge and what then? Their linear way of thinking might be their downfall. I'm not going to tribal with this group, there is literally no way. I'm either going to EoE or I will over bid that person who will try to bid most from our group.
Joe | @Sajid
I’m gonna do “we" because I feel it’d look weird if I did the me option. I just don’t think the optics would look great and that it’d seem I’d have something to hide. Sophie has offered to send me some extra money to bid on the challenge. I hope we manage to avoid tribal. I think it'd be an easy one but I don't want to have even that.
Sophie | @Sajid
I’d rather bid for the team to be honest but like the union tax is icky.
Jessica | @Sajid
Of course this happens when our tribe is so dysfunctional. Honestly I don’t think I need individual immunity because I don’t think I will go home if we go to tribal no matter who gets immunity. But we will see and then team wise I don’t really care if we’re immune or not honestly - it would be good to get Jonas out so my main concern here is just to save as much money as I can, so I am only going to spend $1.
Moss | @Sajid
My options for today are picking “me” and going to EoE or I could stay and then likely Jonas goes but I really wanna keep him in the game and I don’t know how. I thought of trying to convince Sophie to go to EoE which would then make it a 2-2 tribal with me and Jonas voting Jess, but I don’t think Sophie will go, she seems too comfortable. She told me that Jonas wants to go after the duo of Jess and Joe but when I asked Jonas he said he brought it up with her because she first talked about a concern of a duo. I wonder if I could convince Joe to go to EoE. I’m almost positive he bid $1000 last round, rather than the 2k that we all agreed to. He's been saying how he's low on money. He's so safe in this tribe it's crazy. The thing I can't have happen is if Jonas chooses “me” and goes to EoE because I really worry Jess will push Joe to vote me out over Sophie.
Jonas | @Sajid
[Bleep] this tribe. I wanna bounce. EoE did right by me last time.
$pecies: We have the results...
Let's start with the average bids for "we".
The tribe with an average bid of $1 in the last challenge, Qummah, bid $4,260 on average this time for "We".
And that's the highest among the 3 tribes today.
@Qummah wins immunity!
Next question is, did all 5 members from Qummah bid on "we"?
The answer is no.
The highest "me" bidder among the Qummah members is Goose.
Goose, you're going to have your second trip to the Edge. Let's find out if anyone is joining you from Khutob and Sajid.
Khutob has won the last 2 immunity challenges. Can they make it 3 in a row? Or will Sajid snatch a win here?
Average bids for "we":
$2,500 vs $1,670.40
@Khutob wins immunity again!
Sending @Sajid back to tribal council.
Now for Khutob, at least one of you bid on the "me" option...
and the person bidding for a ticket to visit the Edge is Deaze.
As for Sajid, you bid the lowest but you're the most UNITED tribe as none of you bid for individual immunity.
Could have gotten a guaranteed safety for $1 and avoided all 5 of you from being taxed $1,900.
Nerf | @Khutob
Sajid [bleeping] sucks. Imagine having 0 people bid on me and you still lose. They were probably scared of the taxes. "Please don't hurt me with taxes. We just wanna win."
Joe | @Sajid
What the [bleep]. I literally bid so much on tribal immunity and everyone else did so little. I’m not gonna kick up a fuss but I feel a bit mugged off. We all talked about doing 5k for “We” except for Sophie to bid on “Me” to go to the Edge. This plan would’ve won us immunity and we wouldn’t have been taxed. Sophie did give me 1.5k to contribute to the “We” option. However, doing the math, two people bid $1 and two people bid $1k. I don’t know what happened but let me assure you I’m pissed! I just hate that I’ve been clowned.
Jessica | @Sajid
Hmmmm something's not right here. Now I feel really suspicious. Maybe I should have actually bid 5k.
Moss | @Sajid
I hate this tribe, I'm always going to tribal.
Bloody | @Qummah
I’m very happy with the challenge results, obviously not going into another tribal is optimal for all involved and it also keeps our numbers up come an inevitable swap. By pooling our money together after saving last round (plus grabbing money from Goose on his way out to EoE), we also really didn’t even need to break the bank. So proud of this tribe and the nonstop teamwork and ingenuity.
Simon | @Qummah
Personally I would have rather seen either Borges or me going to the Edge because if we can get some sort of advantage from that place I would want to have it in our hands. My tribe is a little bit boring because they always make plans that we all bid the same amount of money so there is basically no way to try to get something for your own game because they will know that you tried to get it and that would put a target on your back.
Jonas: Ouch that's 3 tribals in a row, $pecies. Congrats Khutob and Qummah!
$pecies: Sajid, I will you at tribal council where one of the five of you will become the sixth person voted out of this game.
As for Deaze and Goose, please grab your stuff and get on the boat to head to the Edge.
Before the challenge results, Borges and Joe decided to use the anonymous jail extortion advantage that they each won through the Final 20 Reward Challenge against Jonas and Bloody respectively. Jonas paid $1900 to be freed while Bloody was jailed at her camp for half a day.
Borges | @Qummah
I just played my jail advantage on Jonas and although I'm not sure if he is the right choice here, it's the safest choice for me. The thing is Sajid has too many broke people in Jessica, Joe and Jonas, whereas Khutob only really has Deaze. So although I'd love playing my advantage on a real target of mine like Kasnoy and pin it on Jonas, I don't think Kasnoy’s tribe was going to lose the challenge. But even if he does, it would still work. I play it on Jonas since it will actually be pinned on Kasnoy or Bloody and even if they deny using it, he won't ever believe it and we are going to see that man's rage even higher to get them all out of here. I also hope I’m helping Moss in any way.
Jonas | @Sajid
Someone extorted me. Right after the challenge I had to pay $1900 or go to jail. And in jail I can’t talk in private with anyone. I could only YELL (IN ALL CAPS) AT CAMP! I paid the piper $1900. I told Joe it was PROBABLY Sophie. Jessica thinks it maybe was Kasnoy or Bloody but I don’t know about that as they got their own bullshit to deal with on their tribes. (sings) I GOT ENEMIES GOTTA LOTTA ENEMIES, GOTTA LOTTA PEOPLE TRYNA DRAIN ME OF MY ENERGY.
Joe | @Sajid
Okay so my extortion advantage is expiring and it can be used on anyone in the game. I have a silly goofy idea. Do it on Kasnoy or Bloody so they think Jonas did it.
Bloody | @Qummah
As far as the extortion goes, I have to laugh. Jonas thinks he’s real slick throwing that extortion my way. It really goes to show he has a shit read on what is happening over here. It is incredible for my game though. Each round he publicly calls me out or disadvantages my game is another notch in my belt for my end game resume because I am surviving and thriving. Also, who wouldn’t want to keep me around? With me in the game, you always know I’m taking whatever dumb advantage idol-hungry Jonas grabs. He’s so shortsighted that he can’t even see how much of a benefit he’s been to my long game.
Borges | @Qummah
NOT THIS. JONAS EXTORTED BLOODY AND I EXTORTED JONAS. I THOUGHT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE ADVANTAGE. [BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP] HE MAY REALIZE IT WAS ME OR MAYBE HE THINKS IT’S MOSS. THAT'S EVEN WORSE. What if someone had the same idea as me and wanted to pin Bloody jailing on Jonas? We love to see it.
Deaze and Goose arrive at the Edge and see two advantages being placed at the edge of their temporary $helter.
Goose | @Qummah
It ended up just being two people coming to the Edge despite there being three tribes. It was just me and Deaze, which was interesting because he was someone that I scoped out at the very beginning of the game as someone that I might want to work with due to us being from the Bay area.
Deaze | @Khutob
Goose is from the same area of the world as I am....It’s going to be a great bonding experience between the two of us. I will find out what they did to Sebby. Mark my words. I need to get to the bottom of this but also, I don't know which prize I want, the extortion advantage or the idol token clue. I’m thinking the clue will only be temporary so I'm going to push hard for the extortion advantage. That should keep them monopolized since I got one back at the first immunity challenge, and if I hoard them all, I can truly unleash some major game breaking plays in the merge.
Goose | @Qummah
DUDE I AM LOVING THIS. Deaze and I vibed immediately. All this hype talk with Deaze about west coast best coast, when do I tell him I grew up in the east coast? As soon as we started talking about advantages that were available this time on the Edge, he was immediately talking about having a plan of what to tell our tribe to keep each other safe going forward. So our story became that we had to bid against each other for an idol clue and that I won the bidding, which is fine because I feel like I'm in a good enough position on my tribe where I can share the clue with a few people and it's not going to get outside of that circle. Deaze and I are 1000000% going to go hard in the merge. We are super close to it. If I can make it there, I will be very well situated to go far. I will need to coast through the first couple votes so that I can kick it into gear in the end game.
Deaze | @Khutob
I just had the longest catch up with Goose. Bottom line is that he is cool. Best believe I am looking forward to a strong West Coast alliance with him into the late game. If what Goose is telling me about the negotiation challenge at Final 18 is right, then Clink did take the small bar instead of the medium bar I originally thought he took. If I find out Nerf or Kasnoy is lying to me, I will make them my target so fast that they will be pissed when they leave the game with all the money they saved.
Deaze and Goose head back to their respective camps after agreeing on which advantage to grab for themselves. Deaze gets a vote extortion advantage while Goose walks away with an idol clue.
DAY 18
SAJID
The scene shifts to Sajid 2.0 as they get ready for their third tribal council in a row.
Moss | @Sajid
Today has been crazy. I caught Jonas in lies, Sophie lies, Joe lies, Jess lies. This tribe is a mess.
Jessica | @Sajid
It has been rather quiet. This tribal is literally just a repeat of the mock tribal. So there’s not really much to talk about. We’re voting out Jonas as he has been a bit too much and is just really overplaying. He was nice at first but just turned into a real hot head and hopefully he officially goes here. I feel bad as I’m misleading him into security but oh well it was just really easy, not much convincing here. But yeah I’m still a little suspicious if the Jonas vs Sophie situation is actually real. I hope it is and I’m not being played.
Sophie | @Sajid
So I originally bid $10 on “me”, because Jess was wanting me to go to be safe. Little did I know, at the same time Jonas wanted me to go to the Edge so that he could protect Moss. Jess had told me at that time Jonas wanted me to go, I assumed he wanted me to go for a high price. After all the drama of the fake tribal, there was tension between Jonas and I. We went a whole day without talking, but then, he asked me for an armistice. I agreed because there was nothing positive about continuing to fight, and his words about Jess and Joe duping us were getting to me, because something seemed a little too perfect. I was being completely honest because like I didn’t give a rat's ass at that point. He was fully prepared to keep lying to me until I let it slip that I was told that he was gonna throw the next challenge for Moss to go, after I was gone.
Jonas | @Sajid
UGH THIS TRIBE IS A MESS. I found out Joe told Jess that I said I'd be willing to throw a challenge to vote out Moss, which was not true to be clear. Jess told Sophie, and Sophie told Moss. That's when it is time to cut loose on my alliance with Jess and Joe (called “Pete”). I prefer Jess because I am less close to her but it doesn't matter one or the other.
Sophie | @Sajid - 1 Idol Token
My chat with Jonas uncovered other information which Jessica has told me, but he thinks it was mainly Joe leaking. Out of his frustration, a trust and a plan between us rose out of the ashes in a new trio alliance of me-Jonas-Moss. Jonas heavily implied that Moss has an idol token, so I came clean to Moss about mine and we tried figuring out the best plan of action. We were fine with going to tribal because if the challenge went through, it’d prove the commitment to the trio we made. Jonas wholly could’ve ditched us and gone to EoE and I could’ve done the same but we purposefully took the union tax so that Joe and Jess would spend more and so now we’re gonna try to 3-2 Joe.
Jonas | @Sajid
So a lot has changed - this could be for the better or for the worse. Me and Sophie did a lot of catching up, and MAYBE she put on an Oscar winning performance, but I think we can actually pull this off and work together to vote off Joe. Sophie was down to do Joe and I’ll make the concession and vote Joe. He is not trustworthy, and I'd always vote out someone who has betrayed my trust over someone who I never trusted to begin with.
Moss | @Sajid - 1 Idol Token
The plan is for us to go united and then me, Jonas, Sophie vote out Joe, but I'm really worried Sophie won't follow through. I'm hoping it's enough of a threat that Joe/Jess are a duo to force her hand on Joe. Ideally I want Sophie to go because of how unpredictable she is but right now we need her, because even though we're prolly swapping next, I wanna weaken the OG Zufaf tribe. Also, I don't trust Jonas as much anymore. He held back on too much info from me.
Sophie | @Sajid - 1 Idol Token
Jonas and I are staging a fight at tribal council. Whatever tribal question I get, I’m going to make it VERY pointed. Stay tuned!
Joe | @Sajid
So I am the king of paranoia, but I am very worried for tribal for probably no reason. I just have that vibe, you know. If I go here, it would be weird but still.
Jessica | @Sajid
I’m so nervous. This vote felt way too easy, feeling very paranoid right now.
Jonas | @Sajid
Getting weird vibes from Jess, maybe this will backfire on me but we are gonna have to wait and see.
Moss | @Sajid
The vote is Joe/Jess on one side and then Jonas/Sophie with me in the middle. Voting Jonas would be the safe route in going with Joe/Jess and then Jess would distrust Sophie and I'm safe with those 3. Voting Joe is riskier because I'd work with Sophie who I don't really trust but the payoff may be bigger going into merge with 2 bigger targets in front of me, whereas Joe would likely integrate better with a smaller target. Hmm, the risky move or the safe move?

NIGHT 18
FINAL 15 TRIBAL COUNCIL (SAJID)
The scene transitions to a view of @Sajid walking into Tribal Council.
$pecies: Sajid, it's almost like you never left here! Here you are again. This time, we're certain that one of you will be voted out of the game. Before you cast your vote, we have a lot to talk about. First, the average "we" bid for the challenge was much lower than the other two tribes. Is it fair to say that all of you are feeling rather safe tonight? But not all of you can be right -- how do you ensure that it isn't you tonight?
↳ Sophie: I don’t think you can ever truly feel safe, like hell I never do even when I have immunity. knowing that my name is out there adds fuel to the fire, but I’m hoping that we can stay strong through this.
↳ Jessica: I don’t think it’s the fact we all feel safe just we didn’t communicate well together and could of did a lot better that way. But I’ve just been myself and have just been trying to have some fun so I hope it isn’t me.
$pecies: This tribe just attended a mock tribal council 2 nights ago. Is it public knowledge what the votes were? Do you think the results of this vote will be the same as the mock tribal council? Why or why not?
↳ Jonas: It's public knowledge who at least 2 of the votes were, I voted for Sophie and She voted for me.
↳ Jessica: I’m pretty sure the vote was public knowledge and I’m not sure if it’s going to be a repeat or not but we will see!
$pecies: Of all three tribes, Sajid was the only tribe that failed to have anyone bid on "me", resulting in each member of the tribe being fined $1,900. Was this a collective decision by the tribe? If not, why did this happen? Do you regret not bidding for "me"?
↳ Joe: I believed that someone was but then nobody did oh well, we're all here now.
↳ Moss: I was fairly certain at least one person would have picked "me" which is why I didn't even think about it, but now seeing that no one picked it, I could have picked it and had guaranteed safety.
↳ Jessica: Well there was a plan in place, I guess it just didn’t work out but either way I do not regret my decision as being exiled sounds ugly and it’s more fun at tribal!
↳ Jonas: It certainly was not, if someone said that they were going to bid "me" to avoid the penalty then they should keep their damn word. I don't care what anyone else says about how much they will bid for it PLUS how much I was trying to drive the price up was less than the penalty anyways ya [bleeping] cheapo.
Sophie: Sir didn’t you say that, and I quote “YOU [BLEEPING] THOUGHT I was gonna let your ass go for whatever price you want. Why don't we both bid on the [bleeping] EoE then ?” THAT'S why I changed back, and by that point I’d transferred Joe money, something YOU told me to do since I was going to EoE, so of course I wasn’t going to [bleeping] send money. But go off!
Jonas: OF COURSE I TOLD YOU TO TRANSFER MONEY TO JOE. I WANT YA ASS BROKE AS CAN BE.
Sophie: See, I'd rather not be broke too.
Jonas: Cry me a [bleeping] river like we don't both know you made back the money you sent to Joe extorting me.
Sophie: Oh my god! When are you going to [bleeping] stop assuming shit about me? I didn’t extort you!
Jonas: I do take SOME responsibility for this disaster but once this tribal is over and you're gone, I'll gladly pay them back for that penalty if they want me to, I've said it before and I'll say it again these hands don't get cramps writing checks.
$pecies: Looks like everyone is ready to vote. Jonas, you're up first.
One by one, the players make their way to the voting booth to vote.
Joe (votes against Jonas)
You’re a man of chaos. I’m not.
Jonas (votes against Joe)
You're being a rat and I'd rather work with someone like Sophie than someone who has betrayed me.
$pecies retrieves the voting urn.
$pecies: If anyone has idol tokens and would like to play them, now would be the time to do so.
Everyone stays silent.
$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...
Jonas
Joe
One vote Joe, one vote Jonas.
Joe
Jonas
Tied again. Two votes Joe, two votes Jonas. One vote left...
Joe
Jonas: I love you, Sophie! ❤️
Joe: Ew. May I ask why?
Jonas: You ran ya mouth!
Joe: I did?
Jonas: I told something to ONLY you and it somehow got out.
Joe: As if you haven’t in this entire game.
Jessica Love you, Joe!
Joe: Love you too, Jess! ❤️❤️
Jonas: All love though. It's just a game, you seem very chill.
$pecies: Joe, I do need you to bring me your torch now.
Joe brings his torch to $pecies.
$pecies: Joe, the tribe has $poken. It's time for you to go.
Joe exits tribal council while shaking his head.
$pecies: Well, Sajid, for a tribe that all put "we' before "me", you sure are a united tribe. Let's hope you will communicate better as a tribe before getting yourself here again. Grab your torches and head back to camp. Good night!
FINAL WORDS
Joe | 15th Place
I knew it was coming. I had a bad feeling all day. Well, it’s been fun. Thank you for having me, I’ve actually enjoyed my time here and wish I could’ve gone further but oh well. I guess I just tried to play both sides a bit too hard. Jess is a queen and I hope she makes it as far as possible and that she can avenge Zufaf! Moss has really done nothing and I don’t think that’ll change. Sophie is a great player and not sure why she went for me? I did want to work with her but she got the itch for a big move I suppose. Jonas? I think it’s best left unsaid for now.
Joe bequeaths $1500 to Jessica and $500 to Deaze.
