Previously On Survivor
''Both tribes went to Tribal Councils that ended in blindsides. – “Sibyl, Patricia, the tribe has spoken.” - Eleven are left, who will be voted out tonight? ''

Redemption Island
We open up on both Sibyl and Patricia walking into Redemption Island. Caleb is seen standing watch by the shelter to see who is arriving and he is absolutely heartbroken to see Sibyl walk into camp.

Caleb: Noooo.

The two hug.

Caleb: Oh my, God. What happened?

Sibyl: I don’t know, completely blindsided.

"inredemption"

- Sibyl was the last person I wanted to see come to Redemption. She is my everything and the last thing I want to do is compete against her tomorrow. At this point, I’m contemplating putting my idol in her bag and throwing her the duel if I get a chance.

Anderson: The merge has to be tomorrow.

Caleb: That’s what I’m thinking. Damn, four people dueling tomorrow. It’s gonna be tough.

We get a shot of all four Redemption Island inhabitants before cutting to the Zibaq tribe.

Zibaq
Ominous music plays as Zibaq returns from Tribal. Whitney is still in utter shock, being the only one left out of the Patricia blindside. She looks at Joel, who can barely respond.

Whitney: What the hell, Joel?

Joel: I’m sorry, I really am.

"zibaq"

- I voted out Patricia and left out Whitney, who has been nothing but a complete saint to me in this game and it’s making me feel awful. I don’t like that I had to do that to her but it made the most sense to not let her in on the plan. I just hope she is able to forgive me and we can continue working together in this game.

Whitney: I have been completely loyal to you this entire game and you just go and blindside me like that? I feel like an idiot!

Joel: Whitney, I’m so sorry. I had to do it beca-

Whitney: You did not! If you had told me the vote was going to Patricia, I would have voted her out!

Joel: I didn’t know.

Whitney: So you have no faith in me!? Glad to know where we stand!

Whitney storms off, prompting Joel to throw his arms in the air in frustration.

"zibaq"

- (Crying) Joel made me look like the biggest idiot in this game. I told him how loyal I was to him and he repays me by blindsiding me the very first chance he got. God, I’m so stupid for trusting him. Well no more! I am done with Joel and I am done with that whole alliance! They can burn in hell for all I care!

Whitney is seen crying on the beach by herself before Kai walks up and sits beside her.

Kai: You alright?

Whitney: I’ve done everything to prove my loyalty to that man and he goes and does this tonight! I’m over it!

Kai: I’ve got your back, you’re good.

Whitney (Sniffles): Thank you Kai, you’re a gentlemen.

"zibaq"

- Whitney was pretty distraught after Tribal and she had every right to be. Joel completely used and abused her trust tonight. Even if he didn’t mean to, it still left Whitney feeling terrible. I do feel bad for her because she is a person and I wanted her to know that I will be there for her in this game and won’t turn my back on her.

*intro plays*

Redemption Island
We return from the intro, we see Sibyl, Patricia, and Caleb working around camp. Anderson returns to camp with tree mail in his hand.

Anderson: It’s time, everyone!

Everyone gathers around Anderson as he reads the note.

Anderson:  Gather up your belongings because two of you are going home and two of you are returning to the game!

Patricia: Two!?

Caleb: Oh wow.

"inredemption"

- Hearing that two of us are coming back to the game, it gives me hope. Sibyl and I have a chance at coming back into the game together and having a better shot at one of us winning the million dollars.

Caleb and Sibyl hug, prepping each other for the duel.

"inredemption"

- Caleb and I have to win. If he’s against Anderson and I’m against Patricia, we have a very good shot at returning together. I just need to hope for the absolute best and pray we get back in the game together.

We see the four Redemption Island inhabitants leave for their final duel before cutting to Redemption Island.

Redemption Island Duel
We see the four poles for the challenge, two yellow, two blue, before cutting to Jeff.

Jeff: Come on in, guys!

Najma enters first, followed by Zibaq. They both look at one another to see who was voted out from each tribe.

Jeff: As you can see, Sibyl and Patricia have been voted out. We’ll now bring in the competitors for the final duel.

There is excitement among the remaining eleven as they learn this will be the final duel of the season as they watch Anderson, Caleb, Sibyl, and Patricia enter the arena.

Jeff: Alright, you guys already know the twist to this duel but let’s catch everyone else up. Two of you will reenter the game.

Once everyone finds out two of them will return, it sends a shockwave through them with Joel sweating bullets.

Jeff: Here’s how it will work. There are four rocks in here. Two are blue and two are yellow. You will be drawing rocks for your opponent. All you gotta do is beat your opponent to get back into the game. Clear?

The four nod.

Jeff: Alright, here we go.

Jeff pulls out the bag and everyone takes a rock one at a time, not knowing what color they have. Once everyone has a rock, Jeff steps back.

Jeff: Alright, let’s see who’s against who. Ready and…reveal.

Everyone opens their palm at the same time. Caleb is crushed to see that he and Sibyl both grabbed the blue rock, which shocks the two tribes. He falls to his knees and begins to cry. Sibyl helps him up and hugs him, whispering ‘Don’t throw it.’ to him. Meanwhile, Anderson seems to be very happy to be against Patricia as Jeff goes over the challenge.


 * All four competitors climb their ladder to get on the pole. Once the ladders are removed, the challenge officially begins.
 * Anderson tightens his grip as soon as the challenge starts while Patricia, Sundra, and Caleb all keep still and incredibly calm. Deenacheers her husband on from the sidelines.
 * Patricia begins to struggle as she loses her footing. She slides down a foot before getting her grip again as Caleb and Sibyl are still neck and neck.
 * Out of nowhere, Patricia drops down the entire pole onto the sand, eliminating her and confirming Anderson as the first person to return to the game. Once Jeff announces Anderson as the winner, Deena rushes down and embraces her husband. Meanwhile, angry over her loss, Patricia doesn’t wait until the end of the challenge to leave. She immediately removes her buff and throws it into the fire before walking off, surprising everyone.
 * Sibyl begins to slip a bit but catches herself. Caleb gives her words of encouragement. Joel decides to start cheering on Sibyl. Caleb ignores him, keeping his focus on the challenge.
 * Caleb slips, prompting Joel to smile as he continues to cheer on Sibyl to beat her boyfriend and return to the game.
 * Suddenly, Sibyl drops to the ground, eliminating her. Caleb jumps down from his pole and embraces Sibyl, apologizing. She tells him not to worry and to win. Anderson pats Caleb on his back, congratulating him on returning to the game. We then cut to the three of them facing Probst.

Jeff: Sibyl, you gave it your all but it wasn’t enough. Toss your buff in the urn and head on out.

Sibyl nods before kissing Caleb. She takes the buff off her forehead and places it daintily in the fire before leaving Redemption Island. Jeff then turns to the two men.

Jeff: Anderson, Caleb, congratulations. The two of you are back in the game and in the running for a million dollars. Now, it’s time for a change.

Knowing what is coming up, everyone begins to smile and celebrate.

Jeff: Everyone, drop your buffs, we have merged!

Everyone cheers as Jeff tosses the bag of new buffs to Caleb. He gives himself and Anderson the first two buffs before handing them out to everyone else. Joel seems apprehensive as he takes his buff but soon embraces his sister, happy they both made the merge.

Jeff: You guys are going to the old Najma camp. Head on out, your feast is waiting!

Hearing that there is a feast, everyone jumps out of their seats and rush to leave Redemption Island, with the focus on a sad Caleb.

After Caleb’s confessional, we go to commercial.

Zahra
We return from commercial to jovial music. The newly merged tribe returns from the duel to the old Najma camp and see a giant blanket with food everywhere. They begin to feast as they congratulate each other on making the merge. Andre hugs his son and congratulates him.

After Andre’s confessional, we focus on Kai and Paige. The two kiss, happy to be reunited.

Paige: I can’t wait to fill you in on what went down here.

Kai: I feel like we both got stories for each other.

Paige (Whispering): So, who were you close to on your tribe.

Kai (Whispering): Caleb.

Paige looks surprised.

Kai (Whispering): I was blindsided the night he went home and Joel has been pushing hard to get me out for a while now.

Paige (Whispering): What about Whitney?

Kai (Whispering): She was blindsided by Patricia going home and I think she’s on my side but Joel is very anti-me.

Paige (Whispering): Well that’s a problem because I’m close to Noel.

Kai (Whispering): Oh boy.

Paige (Whispering): It’ll work out.

Kai (Whispering): It will.

The two kiss again before we cut to a little while after the feast. We see Joel and Noel walking down the beach together before Joel jumps on his sister, hugging her with all his might.

Joel: Oh my, God! We did it!

Noel laughs as Joel releases his grip on her.

Noel: So, what’s going on?

Joel: Well, I’m with Tyler and D.J. You?

Noel: I’ve been working with Paige and Troy the entire time.

Joel: Paige?

Noel: Yeah.

Joel: Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Joel: I’ve been going at Kai for a long time now. If you think Paige is gonna be open to working with me, you’re out of your damn mind.

Noel: Hold up, how is that my problem?

Joel: I’m your brother! We can’t be working with Paige at all. After Kai, she needs to go.

Noel: But Paige going doesn’t help me.

Joel: It helps me and if it helps me, it will help you.

Noel throws her hands in the air in frustration.

Joel: I love you.

Noel: Love you to.

The twins hug before we cut to shot of a bird eating a bug out of a tree. The scene switches to Kai and Caleb walking into the woods together. Once they are away from camp, they share a bro-hug.

Kai: You kicked ass, man!

Caleb: That was brutal.

Kai: Dude, Sibyl is proud of you. She didn’t want you to give up.

Caleb: So, what’s the plan?

Kai: So, you may not like this part. I’m working with Whitney.

Caleb (Almost disgusted): Oh God.

Kai: Just listen, Joel really screwed her over at the Patricia vote. He completely blindsided her and she wants nothing to do with him. She’ll be open to working with us. You don’t have to trust her, just trust me.

Caleb: I do. There’s also something I want you to know.

Kai: What?

Caleb (Pulling out the idol): I found this on Redemption.

Kai: Oh my, God.

Caleb: This stays between us, ok?

Kai: You got it.

The two bro-hug again.

After Caleb’s confessional, we go to commercial.

Day 19
We open up on the bright sky as a new day begins in Morocco. We see everyone is up and about talking with one another as we focus mainly on Tyler. He has his eyes set on D.J., who is happily chatting with his father.

Tyler gets up from his spot and taps D.J. on the shoulder.

Tyler: Yo, can we talk one on one real quick?

D.J.: Oh…uh…sure.

The two men walk over to the back of the shelter.

Tyler: So straight up, no bulls**t, I heard that you threw me under the bus after Sundra went to Redemption. True or false?

D.J. (Taken back): Oh, uh, well…you see, I felt bad about going against Joel and I-

Tyler: You did, didn’t you?

D.J.: I didn’t mean to, I swear!

Tyler: Oh my, God. I can’t even look at you.

Tyler, angered by what he just found out, throws his hands in the air and walks off, leaving a devastated D.J.

We see Tyler with his arms crossed at the beach before cutting to Anderson and Deena embracing one another. The husband and wife kiss passionately before continuing their hug.

Deena: I’m so happy, it’s been so rough.

Anderson: I wasn’t gonna leave you, I knew I would come back.

Anderson: Who are you with?

Deena: Jace was my number one on Najma. He has been by my side since the start and has looked out for me. He saved me the first Tribal we went when people were targeting me.

Anderson: I like him already.

Deena: I would like to keep working with him until the final three. I feel like he deserves it.

Anderson: I’ll talk to him.

After Anderson’s confessional, we cut to him and Jace standing by the water well.

Anderson: First, I want to thank you for keeping my wife safe. It really does mean a lot to me.

Jace: It’s no problem, man. She’s a chill lady and I vibed with her from the start.

Anderson takes a few seconds to respond, not fully getting Jace’s vocabulary.

Anderson: Er…right…anyway, I would love to work with you. You did me a huge favor by saving my wife and I feel like I owe you in some way. It’s no secret Deena and I wish to be in the final three with one another and I would love if you would join us in that final three and have the best man win.

Jace: You have my word on that, man!

The two men shake hands.

As Jace’s confessional plays, we see him shaking hands with Andre and D.J. by the fire. Once the confessional is over, we see Jace following Joel down the beach.

Joel: So, how you feeling about the game?

Jace: I feel good, man. I feel like we got a group of gamers and that should make things fun.

Joel: I agree, it’s gonna be a battle to the end.

Jace: Wouldn’t have it any other way!

Joel: I feel like you’re a solid guy. For some reason, I really trust you.

Jace: I appreciate it, man.

Joel: Hopefully we can work together and get ourselves and Noel to the end together.

We see Noel eating rice before cutting back to Joel and Jace.

Jace: Dude, I’d be down to go to the end with you guys.

Joel: Glad to hear it.

The two shake hands.

After Jace’s confessional, we see that Joel is smiling from ear to ear.

After Joel’s confessional, we see him return to camp and sit next to Noel by the fire.

Joel: It’s over, we’re good.

Noel: What do you mean?

Joel: I just talked to Jace and he’s on board for the pairs to work together. I reeled him in with a final three deal.

Noel: Jace? Seriously?

Joel: What?

Noel: He’s a freaking snake, dude. He put me on the outs at the first Tribal we went to and has been double dipping in every single alliance in this game. I am not gonna trust him.

Joel: Noel, quit being emotional. We need him.

Noel: I just wish you’d talk to me about these things before dragging me along.

Joel: Noel, I’m doing this for us. I want us to succeed and Joel is the way we will succeed.

As Joel talks, Noel turns her attention to the fire, drowning out her twin brother.

Joel: Believe me when I say that I-

Suddenly, the sound of someone throwing logs on the ground interrupts Joel. He turns to see Caleb tossing firewood on the ground. This wakes up Whitney, who is napping in the shelter.

Whitney: Are you serious? You’re doing this again?

Caleb: What? Working? I know that’s a foreign concept to you but we need to work.

Whitney: I will have you know I do work!

Caleb: Haven’t seen it.

Troy: That’s because your ass got voted out.

Caleb: Listen kid, the adults are talking.

As Caleb, Whitney, and Troy all argue, we see Paige watch in amazement from the sidelines.

Whitney: You have no respect!

Caleb: God, this again? I’ve been gone for a week and you still use the same stuff from before? Give it a rest.

Troy: Shut the f**k up!

Caleb: Haven’t heard that either.

Caleb: I’m gonna head on out into the woods because I’m gonna look really bad on T.V. when America sees me fighting with children.

Whitney: Oh screw you!

Caleb mockingly waves goodbye as he leaves camp. Kai quickly follows him.

We see Kai catch up with Caleb and put his hand on his friends back.

Kai: You good?

Caleb: Yeah, I’m fine man. You know how she is.

Kai: I know, but you guys can’t be fighting like this. We need each other for a few votes just to get the numbers.

Caleb: You sure she’s gonna stick with us?

Kai: I’m positive.

Caleb: Alright, I trust you.

After Caleb’s confessional, we go to commercial.

Immunity Challenge
Once return from commercial, we get a shot of the first individual immunity challenge after the merge. We see thirteen floating platforms before we cut to Jeff addressing the newly merged tribe about the challenge.


 * Everyone gets off to a solid start, mostly because it is the easiest part of the challenge.
 * Whitney wobbles a little bit but readjusts herself. This is the only hiccup during the first part of the challenge as everyone advances to stage two.
 * Like the first stage, everyone does a pretty good job staying on for the entirety of stage two.
 * During the transition to the third stage, people begin to fall. First is Whitney, followed by Deena, D.J. , Troy and Tyler.
 * Everyone else makes it to the fourth and final stage, except for Caleb, who falls during the transition.
 * Out of nowhere, people begin to fall one after another. It goes Anderson, Paige, Noel, Joel, and Andre, leaving Kai and Jace as the last two standing.
 * The two men battle it out for a few more seconds before Kai falls into the water, making Jace the winner of the first post-merge challenge. We then cut to everyone facing Probst.

Jeff:  Jace, come on over.

Everyone applauds Jace as he walks over to Probst and has the necklace put around him.

Jeff: With this, you are guaranteed a spot in the final twelve. As for the rest of you, one of you going home tonight. You have the afternoon to think about it, head on back to camp.

As Jace rejoins the group, we see Anderson hugging his friend and ally to congratulate him.

After Anderson’s confessional, we go to commercial.

Zahra
We return from commercial to see everyone returning from camp after the immunity challenge. Anderson pats Jace on the back, again congratulating him.

The pairs of Joel/Noel, Anderson/Deena, and D.J./Andre meet up with Joel at the beach away from the shelter. Noel doesn’t seem very interested in the meeting but goes along with it.

Joel: So we know who we want tonight, right?

Deena: Kai, let’s get his ass out of here.

D.J.: You think any of them have the idol?

Anderson: I’ve been on Redemption since the start and haven’t found it. If I haven’t found it, I doubt any of them have it so we should be good the rest of the game.

Joel: Alright, Kai it is.

As the group continues talking, we see Tyler in the shelter with Kai and Caleb. They are watching the majority alliance chatting about the vote with annoyance.

Kai: They don’t keep things a secret, do they?

Tyler: No they do not.

Caleb: I thought you were part of that crew?

Tyler: I was but D.J. went behind my back so I want nothing to do with those scumbags. I promise.

Tyler: I swear on my mother’s grave that I am with you two.

The music turns a bit intense with Tyler’s promise.

Tyler: Even if we’re in the minority after tonight, I am not turning my back on this group. I promise.

Caleb looks a bit unnerved about Tyler’s promise, giving a worried look to Kai.

Caleb extends his hand for a handshake and Tyler reciprocates.

Caleb: You better be true to that.

Tyler: I am.

Kai shakes Tyler’s hand but is still apprehensive about Tyler.

We cut to Kai and Paige taking a walk in the woods together. Caleb is scratching his beard while Paige adjusts the buff on her head.

Kai: Tyler says he’s with us so that leaves us with six. We need someone from that seven.

Paige: Jace is a lost cause, he’s all buddy buddy with them. Maybe Noel?

Kai: I don’t know. Joel’s the leader of that group, she’s sitting good with them.

Paige: She and I were close so it’s not impossible to get her on our side.

Paige: I’m gonna go talk to her.

Kai: Ok, I believe in you.

The two quickly kiss before we cut to a crab being washed up on shore for a quick few seconds before cutting to Paige and Noel sitting together in the water.

Paige: How you feeling?

Noel: Nervous.

Paige: How come?

Noel: Tonight. I’m nervous about how tonight is gonna affect the game.

Paige: Well, I know that Kai is the target for your side.

Noel: We made it obvious, huh?

Paige (Jokingly): A little.

The two share a laugh.

Paige: But you know I don’t want Kai to go since he’s my boyfriend and I know you don’t want to go against Joel. I just want to know if there is any scenario you vote with our side tonight?

Noel: Like vote out Joel?

Paige: No, no, I would never ask you to vote him out. Maybe go for D.J. or Anderson tonight?

Noel: I don’t know, Paige. I don’t know if that’s best for me.

Noel: I’m so sorry, Paige.

Paige: It’s fine, I get it. I won’t let the game ruin our friendship.

The two girls hug as they are getting up.

Paige: Come on, let’s get back to camp.

As they return to camp, an intense music score starts to play as we see the majority alliance (Minus Noel) all sitting around the fire together. Joel is stirring a pot of rice and begins to hand it out to those only in his alliance. Noel looks especially surprised as Joel motions her to join him. She gives Paige a look of confusion before joining her brother. Paige then walks over to Caleb.

Paige: What’s going on?

Caleb: They just started cooking the rice for themselves.

Paige: We already ate today. I thought we agreed that we would eat one portion of rice a day to save it?

Caleb: That’s what I said. I was told ‘Majority rules’.

We see Anderson laughing it up with his group as he eats a large portion of rice.

After Anderson’s confessional, we focus on Paige as she turns to look at Noel. She sees that Noel is incredibly uncomfortable with the entire situation.

After Paige’s confessional, we see a bird on a branch.

Noel (Subtitled): What the f**k was that, Joel!?

When Noel screams at her brother, the bird flies off before we cut to Noel confronting Joel.

Noel: That was embarrassing!

Joel: Noel, relax. That’s not gonna change a thing.

Noel: Except I’m gonna look like a complete ass!

Joel: Who cares? What are they gonna do, they’re all gonna go to the jury soon enough. We don’t have to deal with them.

Joel: You get way too emotional, Noel.

Noel: Joel, do NOT even go there with me.

Joel: Whatever.

Noel takes a deep breath, getting visibly frustrated with her brother.

After Noel’s confessional, we see Noel approaching Paige at Tree Mail, looking incredibly pissed and upset.

Noel: I want Joel out.

Paige: Whoa, whoa, whoa, what?

Noel: If you guys vote Joel tonight, I will vote him out. He’s dragging me down and I can’t have that. I love him to death but he’s been hurting me in this game more than helping.

Paige (Unable to find the right word): …Ok.

Paige rushes to her alliance, who are all in the shelter.

Paige: Guys, Noel wants to do Joel tonight.

Tyler looks shocked as his jaw hits the ground.

Tyler: Oh my, God. This bitch is crazy. I love it.

Caleb: You think she’ll do it?

Paige: Yes.

Whitney: Wow.

After Whitney’s confessional, we see Noel sitting by herself on the beach. She watches the sun go down as everyone else prepares for Tribal Council in the background.

After Noel’s confessional, we see everyone leaving for Tribal Council. As the sun sets, the intense music sets the stage for the first Tribal after the merge. Once everyone takes their seats, Jeff begins the QnA.

Jeff: So here we are, the first Tribal Council after the merge. Jace, does it worry you that there are five pairs of loved ones on this tribe and you, Caleb, and Tyler are the only singles?

Jace: Normally, it would but the couples are fractured. They aren’t working together so I don’t think there is much to worry about.

Jeff: Caleb, let’s talk camplife.

Caleb: Oh let’s because there’s a lot to talk about.

Jeff: What do you mean?

Caleb: I’m sitting in camp and Andre, D.J., Jace, Joel, Noel, Deena, and Anderson all decide to make rice for themselves after we had all agreed that we would eat one portion in the morning.

Noel: Excuse me, I was with them against my own free will.

Caleb: Right, apologies. To Noel’s credit, didn’t really enjoy what was going on with what that group was doing.

Jeff: Anderson, if I had to guess, that would be the majority alliance?

Anderson: You’d be correct, Jeff.

Jeff: Do you think that’s wise to act so cocky in front of the other six as they will be on the jury?

Anderson: I don’t see it as cocky. It was us showing our unity and loyalty to one another.

Noel: I disagree.

Anderson looks at Noel, surprised while Joel shakes his head.

Noel: They were absolutely being arrogant about their position in the game and that’s why I wanted nothing to do with it.

Joel: Noel, please.

Noel gives her brother a disgusted look before turning back to Jeff.

Jeff: Joel, if one person doesn’t like how this alliance is doing things, that could lead to disastrous results.

Joel: Yeah, but it’s my sister. She’s not gonna turn her back on me.

Noel takes a deep breath as Jeff continues.

Jeff: So Kai, if that seven is together, that puts you in a pretty bad spot.

Kai: Puts me in the worst spot of all. Joel has been after me for a long time now and they have made it very clear I am their target for the vote tonight so I could be leaving this game way earlier than I hoped.

Jeff: What do you do to save yourself?

Kai: Appeal to at least one person that I am a good ally to have. I don’t turn my back on my alliances because that’s not the type of person I am. I remain humble and I listen to everyone.

Noel nods, knowing Kai is talking to her without mentioning her.

Jeff: Paige, where does that put you if Kai goes?

Paige: On the jury next to him.

The music intensifies as Joel chuckles to himself.

Jeff: Well I can already tell this vote is gonna be explosive no matter how it ends. It is time to vote. Deena, you’re up.

Deena smiles as she gets up to vote. Of the thirteen, only Kai and Joel have their vote and voting confessional aired. We see Noel step up to the voting booth and take a few seconds before uncapping the pen. We don’t see who she votes but once she sits down, Jeff collects the urn.

Jeff: If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and would like to use it, now would be the time to do so.

Everyone looks around but the focus is mainly on Caleb. He contemplates for a few moments before deciding to remain seated.

Jeff: Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave Tribal Council area immediately. I’ll read the votes.

As Jeff opens up the urn, Kai takes a deep breath.

Jeff: First vote – Kai.

Kai nods, expecting a vote.

Jeff:  Joel. That’s one vote Joel, one vote Kai.

Joel snickers and shakes his head, all with a smile on his face.

Jeff: Kai.

Paige lays her head on Kai’s shoulder as he pats her head.

Jeff: Joel.

Anderson and Andre look confident as the votes are read.

Jeff: Kai.

Caleb nods at Kai, reaffirming his loyalty to his friend.

Jeff: Joel.

Joel turns to Anderson and chuckles before turning back to Jeff.

Jeff: Kai.

Whitney and Troy watch Jeff pull the votes, worried about the outcome.

Jeff: Joel. We’re tied. Four votes Joel, four votes Kai.

Kai looks at Caleb as Caleb nods once again.

Jeff: Kai.

Joel gives D.J. an approving look as a way to tell him he made a good decision.

Jeff: Joel.

Deena can’t help but snicker at the votes piling onto Joel.

Jeff: Kai.

Kai fidgets around, letting the nerves get the best of him.

Jeff: Joel. We’re tied. Six votes Joel, six votes Kai, one vote left.

Joel gives a side hug to his sister as a way to congratulate themselves on getting their target out. Noel gives a weak smile to her brother as she turns to Jeff.

Jeff: Eighth person voted out and the first member of our jury….

'''Joel. ''' That’s seven and tonight, that’s enough.

Music starts as the final vote is read. Joel’s confident grin is gone and he looks around wildly to see who flipped. We get a wide shot of the entire merge tribe. On one side, we see Kai and his allies celebrating. Paige and Kai hug each other while Whitney and Caleb are the loudest, clapping wildly while Troy pumps his fist. Tyler has a smug grin on his face as he nods, happy with the results. On the other side, Joel’s alliance looks around in complete shock. D.J. and Andre can hardly believe her eyes while Anderson looks pissed with the results. Deena and Jace look at each other in bewilderment. In the middle is the woman who caused the chaos: Noel. She barely looks her brother in the eyes as she cries. Joel doesn’t realize who flipped as he takes his torch and slowly makes his way to Jeff.

Joel: What the f**k…

Joel places his torch in front of Jeff, still in awe with what happened.

Jeff: Joel, the tribe has spoken.

Jeff snuffs Joel’s torch.

Jeff: Time for you to go.

Slowly, Joel makes his way out of Tribal as the music continues and Jeff turns to the remaining twelve.

Jeff: Well, one alliance came in confident they had the numbers and they’re leaving Tribal Council blindsided. Welcome to Survivor. Grab your torches, head on back to camp. Goodnight.

As the music ends, we focus on Noel, still crying, as the credits roll.

Next Time on Survivor...
''Noel faces the backlash of voting out her brother, - “She has no soul.” – and someone is up to their old tricks. – “This is my time to strike.” ''
