Close Your Mouth or Go Away

Close Your Mouth or Go Away is the 6th episode of Survivor: Mozambique.

Challenges
Immunity Challenge: In the Barrel

Five members of each tribe will be tied together. A sixth will be inside a barrel. They will roll the barrel to a series of flagpoles. At each flagpole, the person in the barrel must unspool a rope to collect a bag of balls and get back in the barrel. Once each tribe has collected all three bags of balls they will then race to roll those balls and attempt to land them in a series of targets. The tribe to land a ball in 6 targets will win immunity.

Sena
''Ominous music is heard as the program opens at the Sena tribe on night 14 as the six remaining tribe members return from Tribal Council. As the castaways lean their torches against a sturdy tree, there is a clear tension in the air following all that was said prior to the vote. As Francine works to get the fire up, Kane chooses to break the awkward silence.''

Kane: Okay, besides Geoff, who voted for me?

Constantine (Without hesitation): I did.

Kane (Hurt): What the f***, dude?! I thought you accepted my apology from days ago!

Constantine (Crosses arms): I did, but Geoff has been nothing but nice to me in this game, and I promised I wouldn't vote for him. Besides, I wasn't about to cast a vote for someone in the majority, just like you refused to speak against the majority.

Kane (Scoffs): Here I thought we were friends.

Constantine (Shrugs): We can be friends after the game if you want, but unless I have the word "stupid" on my forehead somewhere, you couldn't possibly expect me to vote for a girl tonight.

Kane opens his mouth to respond, but Constantine stops him.

Constantine: And as I said, I promised Geoff I wouldn't vote for him after our last Tribal Council, and I didn't make the same specific promise to you.

''As Constantine says this, Kane simply stares into the fire with a sad expression on his face. The camera then pans back over to Constantine, who still has his arms crossed, as well as a no-nonsense look across his face.''

"sena"

- I suspected that Kane would be pissed that I voted for him, but I really don't give a s***. Aside from Sky, Geoff was probably my best friend out here, and I explicitly promised him that I wouldn't write his name down, whereas Kane's thrown me under the bus and been a bit of a chore to put up with. Besides, with Kane's blatant refusal to call Cassy out at Tribal on top of Cassy being so pushy about Kane staying in the game, it's clear to me that there's something between those two, which shows me that Kane's erratic game-play hasn't stopped. Call me an ass****, but even though he's pretty obviously the next to go, I don't feel sorry for him in the least because he got himself in this spot.

Once the camera cuts away from Constantine's confessional, most of the tribe can be seen making light conversation around the fire, with the sole exception of Kane, who is still staring directly into the fire, appearing sad as we are taken to his confessional.

"sena"

- Even though I survived the vote, I really don't know how much of a chance I have left on this tribe. Despite the fact that I'm still technically aligned with Cassy, I'm pretty sure my game was blown up, so I'm not sure if she'll be able to save me without sacrificing her game. So, that would basically mean that I'm the next to go if we lose again, and on top of that, my supposed best friend out here wrote my name down and he doesn't give a s***! He's so happy that he's found a girl to give his dick a nap inside, and he's so focused on mistakes I made days ago that he not only doesn't see that he's out right after me, but he's also completely lost sight of the bond we had to start this game! (Sighs heavily) I just feel so alone right now, probably more alone than I have ever felt in my entire life. I'm not going to give up, I love this game too much to do that, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm still really hurting on the inside.

Tori (Shakes head): I'm pretty exhausted, guys. I think I'm just gonna tuck in right now.

Cassy (Smiling): Night, Tori.

''The rest of the tribe wish Tori a good night, which she repeats back to them. The high school graduate then climbs into the shelter as the camera switches over to her confessional.''

"sena"

- Plain and simple, the only reason Geoff's out of the game now is because of how threatening he was, and how desperate he appeared at Tribal. Make no mistake though, I don't trust Cassy anymore, not one bit. It's clear as day to me that there was quite a bit of truth in what Geoff said about her alliance with Kane at Tribal Council, and probably about her thinking that I'm a control freak too. I feel like, as soon as she gets the chance, she's probably going to take me out of this game, and as much as I love her as a friend, I just can't let that happen. So, if we do happen to go back to Tribal, Cassy had better watch her back if she knows what's good for her.

The view now shifts over to Cassy for a brief moment before transitioning into this season's intro.



Challenge
''As the scene re-opens, we are taken right to the challenge arena and are shown 15 disks on the ground as intense, but mysterious music is playing. After a couple of brief moments, the view switches over to show Jeff.''

Jeff Probst: Come on in, guys!

''The Makhuwa tribe is shown entering first, with Marshall carrying the tribe flag. As Makhwa get situated on their gold mat, Sena begins to enter behind them, with Kane carrying the tribe flag.''

Jeff Probst: Makhuwa, getting your first look at the new Sena tribe. Geoff voted out at the last Tribal Council.

''Nobody on Makhuwa seems overly surprised that the personal injury lawyer was voted out. Once Kane sticks the Sena flag in its slot, the camera switches back to Jeff.''

Jeff Probst: You guys ready to get to today's challenge?

Castaways: YES!

Jeff Probst: Alright... drop your buffs, we are switching tribes.

All 15 castaways are shocked at this bombshell from Jeff as they remove their buffs. Over on Makhuwa, Tesla appears quite excited to have made it to a switch, while Penelope appears downright terrified as she looks towards Irene pleadingly. Over on Sena, everyone except for Kane appear to be quite nervous. Soon, the camera focuses on Francine as she kisses her pink buff before throwing it to the ground.

"sena"

- When Jeff said "Drop your buffs" I just about s*** my pants! I am absolutely terrified that this switch might screw up my game 'cause I know I'm in a good spot there, while Makhuwa's got three whole people more than we do! Whatever happens, I know I gotta go in there with my head up and a positive attitude, but that still doesn't change the fact that I don't have butterflies in my stomach, I gotta bunch of eagles or something flying around in there!

Jeff Probst: Here's how this is going to work, all you guys need to do is pick a disk, any disk, and stand on it. Once you all have your disk, I will walk you through the rest of it. Survivors ready... go.

At Jeff's signal, the castaways now step off their mats and walk into the challenge arena, where the disks are situated. The camera focuses on Penelope as she nervously tries to grasp Irene's hand, although Irene pulls it away and shoots the nail technician a confused look. As Irene finds a disk to stand on, Penelope, who is visibly shaking, hastily chooses the disk closest to her, causing Irene to turn her head away and roll her eyes slightly. Once all 15 competitors have found a disk to stand on, the camera switches back over to Probst.

Jeff Probst: Now that you all have chosen a disk, here's what's going to happen. When I call your name, simply step off your disk, flip it over, and your new buff is sitting underneath. If you find pink, take a spot on the pink mat because you are on the new Sena. If you find gold, take a spot on the gold mat because you are on the new Makhuwa. With that out of the way, let's begin. Tesla, you're the closest to me, so you can go first.

Tesla (Smiling): Alright, let's do this!

Tesla excitedly steps off her disk and flips it over, revealing a pink buff.

Jeff Probst: Tesla switches over to Sena. Take a spot on the pink mat. Brendyn, you are up next.

Tesla walks over to the pink mat as she fits her new buff on her head while Brendyn flips his disk over, revealing a gold buff.

Jeff Probst: Brendyn remains on Makhuwa, so you can take a spot back on your gold mat. Sky, your turn.

Sky now steps off her disk and flips it over, finding a pink buff.

Jeff Probst: Sky, you can take a spot back on the pink mat, you remain on Sena. Leah, you're next.

Leah now flips her disk over, retrieving her gold buff from underneath.

Jeff Probst: Leah stays on Makhuwa. Take a spot over on the gold mat next to Brendyn. Allan, your turn.

Allan steps off his disk and flips it over, showing us a pink buff.

Jeff Probst: Allan goes over to Sena, take a spot on your new mat.

Allan then walks over to the Sena mat and hugs Tesla and Sky as Probst calls on the next person.

Jeff Probst: Irene, what do you have?

Irene flips her disk over, and we see a pink buff.

Irene: Awesome! At least my buff doesn't look like puke anymore! (Giggles)

Jeff Probst (Chuckles): Irene is on the Sena tribe now. Penelope, you're up.

Penelope anxiously steps off of her disk and flips it over, revealing a gold buff, much to her chagrin.

Penelope (Distressed; Muttering to herself): Oh... no, no, no, no no...

Jeff Probst: Penelope, remains on Makhuwa.

Penelope (Anxious; Twisting her buff around): Oh my God.

"makhuwa"

- Seeing both Tesla, and especially Irene, both move over to the Sena tribe, I was really hoping I could move to Sena as well, especially because I knew that absolute witch, Leah was still on Makhuwa! (Groans; puts her hands over her face) I really don't know how I'm going to make it through this switch because my biggest emotional supports are both gone. I need the money so bad, so I'm really going to try so hard to push through and get to the merge, where hopefully Irene and Tesla still there, and hopefully they won't forget about our alliance and our bond. (Sighs heavily) This is not going to be easy... (hangs her head)

Penelope is shown moving really slowly towards the tribe mats as Jeff Probst halts the progress of the switch just for a moment to watch her with a slightly concerned expression on his face.

Jeff Probst: You okay, Penelope?

Penelope doesn't respond to Probst, but rather chooses to go over to the pink mat and give Irene a hug, much to the surprise of the castaways that happen to notice, and Irene's disgust, although the YouTuber tries to keep her composure.

Irene (Firm; whispering): I'll see you at the merge. Go to your mat.

''Penelope simply nods and whispers "Okay" before walking over to the gold mat as Leah rolls her eyes. We then see Irene doing the same as the camera transitions to her confessional.''

"sena"

- (Frustrated) I can not believe that stupid f***ing dingbat, Penelope, had to come over to my tribe mat and give me a hug of all things after seeing that I'm on Sena and she's on Makhuwa! Did she want a megaphone or something so she could announce to the world that the two of us are a pair? Is that ignoramu-saurus trying to ruin my game?! I'm fine working with her after the merge if we both get there, obviously, 'cause she'll totally stick to me like glue. But whoever I end up with on my new tribe, I'd rather they not know about my connections on Makhuwa so I don't get swap-f***ed. Ya' know, common f***ing sense!! (Bangs head against the tree next to her)

Once the camera cuts away from Irene's confessional, we see Penelope on the gold mat, hanging her head a bit as Jeff continues with the remaining castaways.

Jeff Probst: Ricki, your turn.

Ricki now steps off her disk, turns it over, and reveals a gold buff.

Jeff Probst: Ricki stays on Makhuwa. Kane, you're up.

Kane flips his disk over, revealing a gold buff.

Jeff Probst: Kane, moves over to Makhuwa.

As Kane walks over to the gold mat, he appears a little relieved knowing that he is no longer on a tribe with Sky.

Jeff Probst: Cassy.

Cassy now steps off her disk and flips it over, showing us a pink buff.

Jeff Probst: Cassy remains on the Sena tribe.

Kane's smile fades away, knowing that his one confirmed ally from Sena is no longer on his tribe.

Jeff Probst: Constantine, you're next.

Constantine flips his disk over, and we see that he now has a gold buff.

Jeff Probst: Constantine switches over to Makhuwa.

''Both members of the #Skonstantine showmance appear disappointed not to be on the same tribe, although Constantine in particular tries not to show it. Kane however, can't help but smirk, knowing that Constantine and Sky are split up for now.''

Jeff Probst: Marshall, your turn.

Marshall nods as he flips his disk over, showing a pink buff.

Jeff Probst: Marshall now joins the Sena tribe. Take your spot on the pink mat, Marshall. Tori, let's see what you have.

''Tori now steps off her disk and flips it over. She then picks up her gold buff and proceeds to join her new tribe.''

Jeff Probst: Tori now joins Makhuwa. Jimmy.

Jimmy now flips his disk over, revealing a gold buff, which he picks up despite appearing confused. Before putting his Makhuwa buff on, Jimmy appears to be counting the people on the Makhuwa mat, of which there are seven already there. Jimmy then shrugs and shakes his head, as Probst can't help but smirk as he calls on the final castaway.

Jeff Probst: And last, but not least, Francine.

''Francine now steps off her disk and flips it over, showing us yet another Makhuwa buff. Francine and Jimmy both appear more confused as she joins her new tribe. The camera then pans out, giving us a view of the two new tribes in full.''

Jeff Probst: There you have it. Our new Sena tribe includes: Tesla, Allan, Marshall, Irene, Sky, and Cassy. On the new Makhuwa, we have: Leah, Penelope, Brendyn, Ricki, Jimmy, Francine, Kane, Constantine, and Tori. As some of you have noticed, Sena is still at a numbers deficit. That is because while the members within the two tribes have changed, the number of people on each tribe remains the same. Either way, this should make for some very interesting new dynamics on both tribes. Grab your stuff, head to your new camps, and get acquainted with your new tribes. I'll see you at your next immunity challenge.

The camera first focuses on the faces of the six new Sena members as they head back to camp before switching over to Makhuwa and showing close-ups of Francine, Penelope, Leah, and Constantine before honing in on Kane.

"makhuwa"

- When it comes to the switch, for me, I feel like this is either a dream come true, or a damn nightmare, and I can't tell which of those it is at this point. On one hand, us original Sena are at a numerical disadvantage, and I am still stuck with Constantine and Tori, who appeared to be wholeheartedly against me. But on the other hand, I'm excited that Constantine and his girlfriend are no longer together, so I hope I can mend that fence. But more importantly, I'm so excited to be back with Brendyn because I know of his "Steal a Jury Vote" advantage he found at the start of the game. As excited as I am about re-connecting with Brendyn however, my fear is that Brendyn found newer, better allies, and that me knowing this information may make him feel threatened enough to target me. I just hope that, whatever happens, I'll be able to find some sort of footing to get myself a little further in the game.

The camera now focuses on Brendyn's stoic face as the scene fades into a commercial break.
