A Perfect Facade

This is the sixth episode of Survivor: Eyre Peninsula!

Please Note: This episode will only go up to Day 16, as I am following H vs V format and planned my DTC an episode too early.

Also, this will not be updated for 2 weeks, as I have exams.

Previously On Survivor...
Audrey apologised to the Van Diemen tribe for her actions, and appeared to be turning over a new leaf, but had a hard time winning over Horatio. But she later redeemed herself when she helped Horatio back to camp after he hurt his ankle. Also, knowing she was on the outs after watching both of her alliance members be voted off at consecutive Tribal Councils, Wilhelmina hatched a successful plan to join the majority alliance.

Over at Thijssen, Pip became weary of how close Hazel and Kris were getting, and planned to split them up, even bringing in Bandito and Itsuki to the plan. Meanwhile, when the others went to fish, Bandito and Itsuki looked for Thijssen's Hidden Immunity Idol, but were unsuccessful.

When it was announced a Double Tribal Council was taking place, it was met with mixed reactions. At the subsequent Individual Immunity challenge, Raphael won for Van Diemen, while Elijah won for Thijssen. Raphael then won reward, which would send Van Diemen to Tribal Council first.

At Van Diemen, Wilhelmina raised the idea of voting out Timothy, as he was spending all his time with Anastacia. Unfortunately, Raphael told Horatio of the plan, thinking he was on their side, but Horatio relayed the information back to Timothy, and they plotted to turn the vote on her. It was clear that Audrey would become the swing vote for either alliance, and both alliances lobbied for her vote. In the end, she sided with TImothy, and the votes tied. At the revote, fearing a rock draw, Angela changed her voted from Timothy to Wilhelmina, and it was Wilhelmina who was sent home.

Jeff: Wilhelmina, the tribe has spoken.

At Thijssen, Pip continued to target Hazel for elimination, with her weak challenge performance just what the tribe needed to get her out. Meanwhile, Kris and Hazel decided to target Itsuki, to get rid of Kris's old nemesis. Elijah, feeling uncomfortable with his spot in the alliance, looked to jump ship, and approached Pip about joining his alliance, which Pip accepted after some hesitation. After overhearing a conversation between Holly, Itsuki and Bandito, Hazel learned that she was on the chopping block, and so Kris destroyed all his tribe's food supplies to get the vote back on to him, much to the horror of his tribemates. It worked, as Pip ordered his alliance to change their votes from Hazel to Kris.

Elijah, sensing there was more to Kris's destruction that just rage, tried to warn Pip that Kris could have an Immunity Idol, and begged Pip to vote with him and write Hazel's name down, to tie up the votes should an idol be played. However, Pip refused, and instead threatened Elijah that he would be the next to go if he did not vote with them.

At Thijssen's Tribal, Pip's ignorance came back to haunt him, as Kris played the Immunity Idol, negating the rest of the tribe's votes. Then, much to the shock of everyone- including the observing Van Diemen tribe- it was Pip who was voted out, for being a potential threat later in the game.

Jeff: Pip, the tribe has spoken.

Fourteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight?
