Gone off the Deep End

This is the third episode of Drew's third season, Survivor: Socotra - Challenger's Coast.

Previously on Survivor...
After narrowly escaping elimination, Jeanne tried to fit in...

"If I work hard and put my heart into it, I can earn respect of the guys and put less work on the women's shoulders around camp." Jeanne stated in her confessional.

While Tanya stood out.

"Really?" Tanya asked. "I could've sworn I heard my name. Why are you being so quiet, Gino?"

Gino was getting offended.

"If you try to take me out, you best believe I'm gonna call you out!" Tanya exclaimed in her confessional.

On Sama, two former allies turned on one another.

"Isn't there some sort of compromise to this?" Steven asked Tanner.

"No," Tanner stated. "It's too late for a compromise. I want them out. If you work with them, you're my enemy, and I'm voting you out."

Creating a line in the sand.

"He's coming for us three. And we gotta fight back. Break up him and Yvette." Steven told Danica and Phoenix.

After winning reward, Hope was sent to the Challenger's Coast.

"I just want to know everything about this place so that I can figure out how exactly to plan my strategy around it." Hope explained in her confessional.

Where she won an idol clue.

"As promised, this is all yours." Jeff stated, handing Hope the idol clue. "Well earned."

'''After Chelsea failed to dive in the immunity challenge, Hawa was sent to tribal council. And Chelsea's name was up for elimination.'''

"The tribe needs to be strong in challenges, and eliminating an obvious weak link is a good way to go." Steph stated.

And Jonah and Steph pushed to make sure Chelsea was going home.

"If she can't do water on an island, that's gonna hurt us." Jonah stated.

"Absolutely." Steph nodded.

But Sonia wasn't for the idea.

"My body is not in peak shape. And I don't want Garrett and I to be on the chopping block next if Chelsea is voted out." Sonia explained in her confessional.

And she considered a new target.

"Hope and Garrett. I'm gonna try to convince both of them to flip." Sonia told Diego and Chelsea.

"If I can rip apart the strongest two-person alliance on this tribe, that's the first building block to winning this game." Sonia stated.

At tribal, Steph continued to preach challenge strength.

"I don't want to end up here again. I like seeing you, but knowing I have a possibility of going home? I hate it. And I don't want to lose." Steph explained to Jeff.

But her and Jonah were in for the ultimate shock.

"Jonah, the tribe has spoken." Jeff told him, snuffing his torch.

'''Nineteen remain! Who will be voted out tonight?'''

Hawa Tribe
The six members of the tribe walked back into camp.

"Well... that was an interesting night." Steph stated, very furious.

"Four different people got votes," Diego stated. "You don't see that very often."

"I just frankly don't understand the decision that was made," Steph stated. "You have got Chelsea, who failed to dive fourteen times. And you choose to eliminate one of our strongest members."

"The game isn't all about challenge strength though." Chelsea stated. "Like, I tried my best. I apologized."

"I'm not mad at you, Chelsea." Steph explained. "I'm just mad at the collective decision-making of this tribe."

"Well, I'm going to sit by the beach." Chelsea stated. "Sorry that I'm still here."

Steph rolled her eyes.

Steph pulled Hope aside, and the two started talking.

"What was the purpose in voting Jonah out?" Steph inquired. "And why did no one even tell me that was the plan?"

Hope scratched her forehead.

"You and Jonah were seen as a really tight voting block." Hope stated. "That's all it was about. I thought you were going to choose Jonah over me if it came down to that."

"But I was loyal to you." Steph stated. "Jonah was my number one, but you were not on my radar. I would've done final three, you, me, Jonah. You were not on my radar."

"I know," Hope stated. "And I still want to work with you. This... operation... was not my idea."

"Who's was it?" Steph asked, to which Hope was hesitant to respond. "Come on. You want to work with me, earn my trust back."

"Sonia." Hope explained. "She rallied to break you two apart. Chelsea and Diego, of course, jumped on that train."

"Wow." Steph nodded. "Well, that shows who's deceptive and who tells the truth."
