False Idol

This is the third episode of Survivor: Mauritius.

Previously On Survivor...
After Inez's shocking elimination at the first Tribal Council, Kurtis and Winter were left stunned and pissed off at their former allies Elaine, Gus, and Naomi. To rectify this, the three of them attempted to make amends with Kurtis and Winter - to varying degrees of effort and success.

Meanwhile, Rachel herself decided to apologize to Winter for her transphobic comments against Winter's brother. Although being genuine in her apology, Winter ended up accepting yet not fully believing in the apology and vowed to get revenge on Rachel in the future. As this occurred, Kurtis and Jason formed a friendship due to both voting in the minority and feeling burned by former allies.

On the Le Morne tribe, things seemed great with the tribe's reward challenge victory and general dominance against the Aapravasi tribe. However, there was trouble in paradise, as Sadie and Tyrone repeatedly butted heads with Adrian, Gabby, and Leilani. This came to a head when the latter two discovered Sadie and Tyrone as they found the tribe's Hidden Immunity Idol, and news quickly spread to their allies Heather and Nigel.

When Le Morne's dysfunction caused them to lose the immunity challenge against the Aapravasi tribe, several targets came to mind - namely, Adrian, Gabby, Sadie, and Tyrone, all for their roles within the tribe's central conflict. Calvin and Isaiah wished to form a majority alliance with Sadie, Tyrone, Deidre, and Nigel; however, Deidre and Nigel also had ties to Adrian, Gabby, Heather, and Leilani, leaving them as swing votes going into the Tribal Council.

In the end, when Leilani came to the realization that Calvin held many connections on the tribe, she hatched a long-term plot to take some of that power away that started with convincing her alliance to vote Adrian off alongside the majority, eliminating him in a unanimous vote.

Eighteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Challenges
Reward Challenge: Piranha Feast Both tribes have ten minutes to rip shreds of meat from a hanging slab of beef and place it into a basket for weighing. The tribe with the heavier basket wins. Reward: Comfort items including blankets, pillows, and a hammock

Immunity Challenge: By the Numbers One tribe member at a time, the two tribes will move across a narrow beam and around the other tribe members. The person crossing can only touch one member at a time. If any tribe member touches two people at once or falls into the water, the tribe must start all over. Once a member reaches the platform, the next person goes. The tribe who gets all their members across first wins.
