" They have been split into 3 tribes of 8, and have not spoken a word to each other as of now " - Ethan

In the helicopter.

" I'm so excited and at the same time i'm very nervous, cause I have no idea what I'm about to experience, and I want to be surprised, just not blindsided. " - Daphne confessional

" They will have to scramble and gather supplies to stay secured in camp, and be prepared for the elements to come. " - Ethan

In the jeep.

" 42 Days, 24 People, One Survivor! " - Ethan

Intro Plays

The 3 modes of transport arrive at the spot where host Ethan is. They stop and all 24 contestants exit and stand on their colored maps and the vehicles all exit.

" Welcome to Survivor. " - Ethan

The contestants cheer.

" I'm very excited to have all of you here as we stand here in the middle of Zimbabwe, Africa. Featuring lots of jungles, mountains, and lakes. " - Ethan

The 3 tribes are named Karanga, the red tribe, Korekore, the yellow tribe, and Rozwi, the blue tribe.

Karanga - Jon, Ian, Zeke, Oswald, Bobbi, Tammy, Daphne, Miranda

Korekore - Beck, Louie, Saadiq, Liam, Hope, Karina, Mackenna, Trudy

Rozwi - Zachary, JJ, Yasmani, Benny, Paulina, Lisa, Theresa, Jennette

" Red tribe, you are Karanga. Yellow tribe is Korekore, and blue tribe you are Rozwi. " - Ethan

He tosses their buffs to each tribe and everyone puts their buffs on.

" Who's ready to start this survivor experience? " - Ethan

Everyone says yes.

" Alright to start off, every tribe pick both a man and woman to participate in a reward challenge. " - Ethan

Everyone talks and tries to pick a woman and man leader.

" Alright Karanga, who do you choose? " - Ethan

Two people raise their hands.

" What are your names? " - Ethan

" Jon " - Jon

" Miranda " - Miranda

" Korekore. " - Ethan

" My name is Louie. " - Louie

" I'm Mackenna. _ Mackenna

" Lastly Rozwi. " - Ethan

" I'm Zach. " - Zach

" And I'm Paulina. " - Paulina

" Alright, all 3 pairs will participate in this reward challenge. Here's how it goes. Both pairs will walk across a balance beam across the water, if you fall off you have to go back to the beginning. Along the beam are 3 bags of tiles. Once you've collected all 3 bags, you will release the tiles and try and solve a combination lock. The first two pairs to solve the combination wins reward. Wanna know what you're playing for. " - Ethan

" Yes. " - Everyone

" First tribe to finish will receive the most essential, fire, in the form of flint. Best way to start a fire. Second tribe, will also receive flint, but the first tribe will have the reward of having two flints, so if your first one can't be used anymore, you'll have a backup. Third place tribe will receive nothing and will have to find a way to make fire. Let's get started. " - Ethan

All 3 pairs get into position. Jon and Miranda, Louie and Mackenna, and Zach and Paulina.

" Here we go, for reward of fire in the form of flint, and two flints for the 1st place tribe. Survivors ready? Go! " - Ethan

All 3 pairs quickly run across their beams trying not to fall. Jon and Miranda quickly start untying their first bag, Louie and Mackenna right behind. Zach and Paulina are last to the first bag. All 3 pairs get their first bag. As they all run towards the second bag. Louie falls off.

" Louie falls off the beam, have to go back to the start. " - Ethan

Louie and Mackenna quickly head back to the start costing some time. The two other pairs make it to their second bags. Louie and Mackenna go quickly, but Louie nearly falls off again but manages to stay on. The two pairs collect their second bad heading for their last. Louie and Mackenna finally make it to their second bag. The beam starts to get more narrow, and thanks to that, Paulina falls off.

" Paulina falls off and her and Zach have to go all the way back. That beam gets narrower. " - Ethan

Jon and Miranda conquer the narrow beam and reach their last bag, Louie and Mackenna have their second bag, Paulina and Zach try to catch up. Louie and Mackenna reach their final bag, and Jon grabs the final bag giving him and Miranda the lead. As Louie continues to untie, Zach and Paulina finally make it to their third bag being neck and neck. Jon and Miranda start to untie their bags.

Louie and Mackenna have their last bag, and Zach and Paulina not too far behind. Jon starts to work on the combination. The other two pairs remain neck and neck. Jon has 6 tiles he has to correctly put in order, which can take some time allowing the other two pairs to catch up. Soon every tribe has their tiles, and Paulina and Louie work on the combination.

Jon makes about 3 different combinations, but none are right. Paulina is taking her time. Louie gets a combo of 3, 2, 7, 5, 4, 9 and tries and he's right. He unlocks his combination.

" Louie wins it for Korekore! Two flints. " - Ethan

" Oh yeah! " - Louie

" We're looking for one more winner. " - Ethan

Jon and Paulina continue to try and find the right combination. Paulina is wrong again as Jon makes a combination of 8, 1, 3, 2, 7, 6, and gets it.

" Jon has it for Karanga! " - Ethan

Jon and Miranda high five. Paulina feels bad, but Zach comforts her.

" It's ok, you did good. " - Zach

" Thanks. " - Paulina

" Korekore congratulations, you have yourselves two flints. " - Ethan

He throws it towards them and Liam catches it.

" Karanga you got yourselves the one flint. " - Ethan

Jon catches it.

" Rozwi got nothing for you, you'll have to find a way to get a fire going. " - Ethan

" Sucks for us. " - Zach

" Here are the maps to your camps. Good luck out there and let your million dollar adventure begin. " - Ethan

The tribes grab their maps and stuff and head out.

" We have no flint which is not gonna be easy for us, I'm hoping this is not the beginning of a downfall for us. It's game time now. " - Paulina

Day 1 - Karanga camp

The 8 castaways arrive at their camp.

" Here we are. " - Zeke

" I say we should all split up and get some shelter parts. " - Tammy

" Who can make a fire the best? " - Ian

" I can, I've practiced for months. " - Oswald

" Go for it. " - Ian

" Making fire is the most important part of surviving in the wilderness, so I practiced every day on how to make a fire before coming out here. Even without flint I could make a fire in record time. Give me a timer and I can prove it. " - Oswald confessional

As he starts to make a fire, the rest of the tribe go to find shelter supplies. Jon and Ian go out together.

" You did good during the challenge. " - Ian

" Thanks. " - Jon

" You look like a jock to me, no offense. " - Ian

" Oh it's fine, I'm a basketball player, I can do whatever it takes. " - Jon

" I actually help broadcast at my college. " - Ian

" Where do you go? " - Jon

" James Madison University. I have helped broadcasted a few basketball games " - Ian

" Then I think you and I can make a good team. " - Jon

" Yeah? " - Ian

" An alliance rather. " - Jon

" Of course, we can definitely have some others join as well. " - Ian

" Absolutely, numbers are important. " - Jon

" The best way to win survivor is to be on top of the numbers. I already have an alliance started with Ian, if I can get in 3 more, then I'm set for now. And with my challenge skill, i'll 100% make the merge. Then I'm gonna cruise all the way to the end and win, easy as pie. " - Jon confessional

Jon and Ian continue to talk, Miranda and Tammy walk up.

" Hey. " - Tammy

" You guys good? " - Ian

" We could use some help. " - Miranda

" We can do that. " - Jon

As the four as them help each other, Jon asks the two girls if they want to join him and Ian's alliance, and they're all in.

" I could tell from the way Jon was talking, he definitely is looking to be a threat later on, so if the time does come, I surely will need to keep an eye on him. " - Tammy confessional

Back at the camp, Oswald gets the fire going very quickly, Bobbi and Daphne come back to see it happen.

" Told you I could do that. " - Oswald

" Oh yeah, great job. " - Daphne

" We could use some help. " - Bobbi

" Of course, let's head out. " - Oswald

Those 3 go back out, the remaining tribe member on his own is Zeke. He was looking for shelter supplies, but he was also looking for something else. The hidden immunity idol.

He was looking in a few bushes and trees, but couldn't make out anything.

" I have a hunch some of the others are looking for the idol, so I know I have to be cautious, cause if they see me looking for it, I'm number one on the chopping block. " - Zeke confessional

He keeps looking until he hears a voice behind him.

" Hey Zeke! " - Daphne

He sees her, Bobbi, and Oswald behind him and knows he has to stop looking.

" I'll be right there. " - Zeke

As he walks away, the camera shows that the immunity idol was right near him, and he missed it.

Day 1 - Korekore camp

The 8 castaways arrive, they're lucky to have a lake very close by.

" That is very nice. " - Trudy

" I already want to go in. " - Hope

" We should try and make a shelter first. " - Beck

" That can wait i'm sure. " - Saadiq.

" Do you want to stay up all night? " - Beck

" Whatever works. " - Hope

" Immediately as we arrive, everyone is wanting to go swimming in the lake and i'm like, this is not a family vacation. We need to make a shelter. But mostly everyone is running towards the water. " - Beck confessional

" We are in Africa you know. " - Karina

" I know. " - Beck

" Ill stay and help out. " - Karina

" Me too. " - Liam

" Thank goodness. " - Beck

" We got the two flints too. " - Karina

" I'm with Beck on staying to build a shelter, all the other girls just want to go swimming. It's like they forgot they're on Survivor. They continue these schenanigans, they'll be out. " - Karina confessional

Day 1 - Rozwi camp

" How do you want to make a fire? " - Benny

" We just need some sticks and wood and teamwork to make it. " - Zach

" Perfect. " - Theresa

" I'm getting hungry, I'll find some food. " - Yasmani

" I can find water. " - Paulina

" Alright you all do that, I'm stay here and get a fire ready. " - Zach

Everyone mostly goes out, while JJ and Lisa sit under a tree for shade.

" You two want to help? " - Zach

" We walked quite a bit to get here, we should get some shade. " - JJ

" Well it's not that easy. " - Zach

" He's right. " - Lisa

" Whatever you say. " - JJ

" Lisa, you want to help? " - Zach

" Truly. " - Lisa

She gets up, but JJ just stays sitting under a tree.

" You could also help the others. " - Zach

" I'm sure they got it. " - JJ

" JJ, literally decides he doesn't want to help and just wants to rest. I get he's tired, but that's just what we all are gonna have to deal with. This is working time, not resting time. " - Zach confessional

Paulina walks with Jennette and Benny looking for water.

" How did you guys think I did at the challenge? " - Paulina

" I thought you were fine, it's the first day. " - Jennette

" I know, I just don't want you to think of me as weak. " - Paulina

" Hey, we're all in this together. Don't give up on yourself. " - Benny

" I won't. " - Paulina

" The 3 of us can stick together i'm sure. " - Jennette

" I'm all in on that. " - Benny

" Me too. " - Paulina

They all shake hands.

" The water should be up here. " - Jennette

" That'll help us. " - Benny

" Me, Jen, and Benny looked to have made an alliance. I'm glad they didn't see me as weak in the challenge, cause I know that'll make me an easy target. So I need to fight as hard as I can. " - Paulina confessional

Night 1 - Karanga

By nightfall, the tribe has their shelter mostly completed. Although it's rather small, so everyone has to sleep rather close together. The fire remains as well.

During the night, Jon was telling everyone about his many basketball games and how good he is, his alliance enjoyed it, but not everyone. Partically Bobbi and Daphne.

" Jon was just going on almost all night about how great of a basketball player and how strong he is. It was like he was telling us that you can't win without me. I sense vain. " - Bobbi confessional

" Can we please go to bed now? " - Daphne

" I mean I don't go to sleep until after midnight. And I'm sure it's not midnight yet. " - Jon

" If only I had a watch. " - Ian

Daphne and Bobbi glance and groan.

Zeke however was not feeling tired.

" I'm not feeling tired now, does one of you want to walk with me? " - Zeke

" I will. " - Bobbi

The two got up and walked away to mostly get rid of Jon, which he suspected.

" Zeke immediately said he wants to walk away from camp and Bobbi agrees to go with him. Like they wanted to get away from me. If those two can't appreciate my strength, then maybe they should just leave. " - Jon confessional

As Zeke and Bobbi walked, Zeke was hoping to go back to where he was looking for the immunity idol when he was called for earlier.

" Jon is so full of himself isn't he? " - Bobbi

" Yes, I know Ian, Miranda, and Tammy are likely in an alliance with him, and that can't be good for us. " - Zeke

" I know me and Daphne have been talking alot so we can have her on our side, that just leaves Oswald. " - Bobbi

" We can talk to him before they can. " - Zeke

" Then it'll be 4 vs 4. " - Bobbi

" If me and Bobbi are gonna make an alliance, then we have to get on top of the numbers, cause 4 is not enough, their is 8 of us, so we either need to reel in one more person to make it 5, or instead, find that idol. Which is exactly what I want. " - Zeke confessional

Zeke and Bobbi make it back to the tree he was at before. Zeke explained to Bobbi about the idol.

" We can use it to our advantage. " - Zeke

" It will truly help us stay longer in the game. " - Bobbi

Zeke looked more.

" I had a hunch it was here, but then you called my name and I had to leave. " - Zeke

" Well considering we're looking together, strongly suggests you trust me right? " - Bobbi

" I do trust you. " - Zeke

" That's what I like to hear. " - Bobbi

The two kept looking as it was a big tree, and then Zeke saw something that was hard to make out because it was dark. He reached in and grabbed the source.

" I think I got it. " - Zeke

" Really? " - Bobbi

She and Zeke sat down and Zeke unwrapped the item and out popped an idol and a note.

" Congratulations you have found the hidden immunity idol. " - Zeke

" So glad I came with you. " - Bobbi

" With this idol, I'll definitely be in control. I trust Bobbi enough to not tell anyone else, even newer people we brought in. Cause this idol I want to keep for as long as I can. " - Zeke confessional

" Let's head back. I'm sure Jon has shut his basketball mouth now. " - Bobbi

" Since Bobbi dislikes Jon so much, he might be the victim of my precious idol. " - Zeke confessional

Day 2 - Korekore camp

Beck, Liam, and Karina spent most of their time making the shelter, well everyone else was mostly swimming around. They did end of helping, hours later. As the next day arrived, everyone was now helping each other out.

" Hey I just want to say sorry for not helping much yesterday. " - McKenna

" We all feel bed. " - Louie

" It's ok, we can get past this. Let's just agree to always try and work together. " - Beck

" You got it. " - Trudy

The 3 girls McKenna, Trudy, and Hope went off together.

" Beck is really taken us seriously don't you think? " - Trudy

" He hated that we went swimming. " - Hope

" I mean it wasn't like he was by himself, he got help. " - Trudy

" OK guys really you shouldn't be like this. We didn't come out here to swim and play games. We came to play survivor, so let's actually play this game. " - McKenna

" That works for me. " - Trudy

" These girls really don't seem to care that they're playing survivor. Soon it's gonna more tough out here the longer we're here. This is Day 2, wait until we get to day 22. If we even get there. Cause if they keep being like this. We're all gonna be out one by one. " - McKenna confessional

Back at camp, Beck continued to complained about the girls and their laziness. Saadiq was not having any of it.

" You aren't gonna always get what you want. " - Saadiq

" I just want a little respect. " - Beck

" No offense, but you aren't the leader, we're all on our own you know. " - Saadiq

" Way to be supportive. " - Beck

" I am. " - Saadiq

" I don't think so, so I'm gonna go ahead and go away from you. " - Beck

" Come on. " - Saadiq

" I don't want any of it. " - Beck

" What a baby. " - Saadiq

" I don't know what Beck's problem is, he expects all of us to do what he wants. We didn't elect a leader, in fact he didn't play in that challenge yesterday, so if this is what he's gonna be like, I want him gone. " - Saadiq confessional

Karina then went to talk to Beck. Beck was very frustrated.

" Saadiq has no right to just talk to me like that, I didn't come here to be judged, I came to play. And to play this game you have to face many tasks, and I feel like I'm the only one who's doing them. Karina is someone I know who is with me. " - Beck confessional

" Hey are you alright? " - Karina

" I don't know. " - Beck

" I get your frustration, I'm not happy with their behavior too. " - Karina

" So what are we gonna do? " - Beck

" Let's not try and let it affect us so much. This tribe needs to stay strong and supportive, and most importantly, win. " - Karina

" You're right. I don't want to lose for sure. " - Beck

" We all want to win. " - Karina

" I do want to win, win challenges, win people's trust, and of course win the game. That's what I'm gonna do the whole time. Especially gain people's trust so they can stay motivated enough, and if I feel they aren't motivated enough, then they should go. Simple enough. " - Karina confessional

" We're in this right? " - Karina

" Absolutely. " - Beck

They shake hands.

" Thanks. " - Beck

" You're welcome. " - Karina

Day 2 - Rozwi camp

As the camp is mostly built, the fire making has been getting tough. The tribe barely had a fire yesterday and didn't last all night, which didn't feel good for everyone.

Yasmani had an idea on making a better fire. He gathered a bunch of large sticks together and some husk and tried to brush two sticks together to get a spark.

" Can you get it? " - Lisa

" I'm trying to get the timing right. " - Yasmani

" If only the sun was more bright. " - Paulina

He kept on trying but just couldn't get a light.

" Son of a gun. " - Yasmani

" Good try. " - Zach

" I'll try not to worry too much about the fire and let's gather some food. " - Benny

Everyone agreed, except for JJ who was still sleeping in the shelter.

Benny, Jennette, and Paulina got together noticing JJ.

" How is he still asleep? " - Benny

" It's like he's deaf. " - Jennette

" I swear all he's done has been sitting around, it's like he won't even work. " - Paulina

" I'm wondering why he even came out here. " - Jennette

However they didn't know that JJ was like half awake and could hear them from where they are.

" I could hear them just trashing me about sitting around and not working, and that hurts me because I know I haven't been doing any work, because i'm trying to save a lot of energy so I can perform good in challenge and in camp. They should consider that too. " - JJ confessional

" Do you think if we lose immunity we should just vote him? " - Paulina

" I say it's a little too early to say. " - Benny

JJ then finally got up and walked towards the trio.

" Hey. " - JJ

" Hi. " - Paulina

" What's going on? " - JJ

He was acting like he didn't hear them.

" Nothing just trying to find some food. " - Jennette

" I'll help out. " - JJ

" Great. " - Benny

" I can show them that I'm a hard worker right now, then they'll regret what they said. " - JJ confessional

Back at camp, Yasmani attempted to make the fire again, Zach tried to help out. Lisa and Theresa watched as the two guys tried and tried, finally getting smoke.

" Come on. " - Yasmani

The smoke remained and finally a flame emerged.

" That's it. " - Zach

The tribe finally was able to get a proper fire going. The girls cheered for them.

" That makes me feel great. " - Yasmani

" I knew I couldn't give up. Zach helped me out and we finally some smoke and then a flame, and then boom, a fire. This is should definitely help us out and keep us strong for this challenge. " - Yasmani confessional

Immunity Challenge

" Come on in guys. " - Ethan

The tribes walked up to the challenge.

" You guys ready for your first immunity challenge. " - Ethan

" Yeah. " - Everyone

" For today's challenge, you'll assemble a cart together, you'll add three chests of puzzle pieces onto the cart, you'll push your cart through a series of obstacles, near the end you will have to take apart your carts and pick up your chests maneuver them through a gate, once you have all 3 three chests through you'll open them and uses the pieces to solve the puzzle. The first two tribes to finish, win immunity. " - Ethan

He reveals the immunity idols.

" With immunity you are safe from tribal council and will not be voted off. The losers will be going to tribal council and tonight someone will be the first person voted out of this game. " - Ethan

The sound of thunder could be heard.

" Looks like we'll have a visitor soon. So let's get started. " - Ethan

All 3 three tribes got into positions. They had their cart pieces and carts of pieces.

" Here we go for immunity for two tribes. Survivors ready? Go! " - Ethan

All 3 tribes began building their carts. Korekore finished first, followed by Karanga and Rozwi. The chests were rather heavy, so they had to carry them together. Karanga managed to get their chests on first and started on the course. Korekore and Rozwi took longer.

Karanga pulled and pushed their cart through a bunch of hills, which wasn't easy. Jon was the one doing all the pulling. Korekore and Rozwi were going pretty slow. On Rozwi, Lisa couldn't push much and even stopped.

" Lisa is not helping that much Rozwi. " - Ethan

" Come on Lisa. " - Zach

She helped pushing again.

Karanga made to the end of the course, and had to take apart their carts and chests and push them through a gate. As they disassemble, Korekore made to the end, with Rozwi making it last. Everyone started to take their chests off and had to lift them up and push them through.

Most of the strong guys and girls tried to lift them up as they could. Jon again helped Karanga out, Ian and Miranda also were able to help push them through, on the other side of the gates, two players grabbed the chests to prevent them from opening and spilling all over the place.

Rozwi and Korekore still were working as Karanga soon had every chest over, and they made it to the puzzle platform.

" Karanga is now working on their puzzle. " - Ethan

Zeke and Tammy gathered every piece and began working. Just as they started, Korekore were just about through with their 3 chests. Rozwi was struggling mightily, JJ, Lisa, and Theresa were not doing much of help.

Korekore made it finally and ran to their puzzle platform. Karanga had a huge lead on the puzzle and are starting to get something. Rozwi was getting frustrated as they had only two of their chests over, but everyone was so exhausted. Zach and Benny both tried to lift up the chest as they could, the others below tried to push it up.

Karanga was getting closer.

" Karanga very close to finishing. Korekore just getting started. Rozwi still trying to make it. " - Ethan

The final chest for Rozwi finally made it over.

" Come on let's go. " - Zach

Everyone made it through and made their way to the platform, but just as they did. Karanga was a few pieces away, and was finished.

" Karanga wins immunity! " - Ethan

They celebrated as the other two tribes were racing for second.

" We're looking for one more. " - Ethan

Saadiq and Karina were working for Korekore while Yasmani and Jennette were working for Rozwi.

" You got it guys come on. " - Beck

" Don't rush just take your time. " - Benny

Karina was started to get something, and more pieces were in. Rozwi was trying to get something but nothing yet,

" Don't give up. " - Paulina

" Yeah, don't give up. " - JJ

Who then glared at Lisa.

Karina and Saadiq was getting more pieces in. Rozwi started to get something, but it looked to be too late. Korekore was right there and was done.

" Korekore wins immunity! " - Ethan

The all clapped. Rozwi was devastated and exhausted.

" Karanga and Korekore congratulations. " - Ethan

He handed the two idols to them.

" You are safe from tribal council tonight and will continue in this game. " - Ethan

Jon hoisted his idol in the air, which Rozwi didn't appreciate.

" You guys can grab your stuff and head back to camp. " - Ethan

The two safe tribes headed out.

" Rozwi, I will see you guys at tribal tonight where one of you will be the first person voted out of this game. Head back to camp. " - Ethan

Rozwi headed back to their camp and one of those 8 were about to be the first boot of the season.

Day 2 - Rozwi camp

The tribe returned to camp not happy with their tough loss.

" That sucked. " - Benny

" I say we should all just rest before we're ready to discuss things. " - JJ

" Uh ok. " - Paulina

Her, Benny, and Jennette walked together.

" What do you think we should do? " - Jennette

" I mean I feel like JJ hasn't cared about this tribe since the beginning, so I'm thinking maybe we should just let him go. " - Benny

" I guess so, but maybe we should try and keep the tribe strong and vote out a more weaker player. " - Paulina

" I'm with her. Lisa and Theresa really struggled at the challenge. " - Jennette

" It was an exhausting challenge though, maybe they might be better at the next challenge. " - Benny

" Tonight we have to vote someone off, Benny really wants JJ out for his laziness, while me and Jen want to keep the tribe strong and vote out a weaker player. I feel like we should talk to everyone to see what they think. " - Paulina confessional

Paulina went to Yasmani and Zach. They were discussing on who to vote out, Paulina informed them.

" Ben wants JJ gone cause he hasn't been helping around camp at all lately. " - Paulina

" That's what I was thinking. " - Zach

" He barely does help at all. " - Yasmani

" Well me and Jennette were considering Lisa or Theresa cause they struggled at the challenge. " - Paulina

" I know they did, but it was tough for all of us, even me. " - Zach

" And I think Theresa does help better around camp than Lisa. " - Yasmani

" This is tough. I should talk to them too. " - Paulina

" I can talk to JJ. " - Zach

Zach went to JJ who was still sitting in the shelter.

" Hey man. " - Zach

" Hey. " - JJ

" You ok? " - Zach

" Just been thinking. " - JJ

" On who to vote out? " - Zach

" Yes, Lisa was someone who really gave up at the challenge which is not acceptable. " - JJ

" I do agree, I was talking to Paulina and she said Benny wanted you out. " - Zach

" Of course, he and the girls were pretty much trash talking me earlier saying i'm lazy and don't help, well the thing is I will start helping now, especially in the challenges. I definitely did for sure. " - JJ

" Well i'm sure that made you upset. " - Zach

" It did, and I honestly want to vote Ben, but I want to keep the tribe strong, so we should vote Lisa. " - JJ

" I can tell Yasmani and Theresa, and Paulina said she was wanting to vote out the weak. " - Zach

" That's great. " - JJ

" JJ told me that Ben thinks he's very lazy around camp. I honestly believe that as well, JJ does mostly lay around. While he was good at the challenge, that's like 5% of the whole day, most of the time we're at camp. So I feel like this decision is tough. " - Zach confessional

" Then next time if we lose, Ben should go. " - JJ

" If it comes to that, I'll consider it. " - Zach

" I'll be ready for that for sure. " - JJ

" If me and Zach are good, then surely next time we go to tribal, Benny will be gone, just showing him that I can be helpful enough. But tonight, we need to stay strong, and Lisa is the one to go first, not me. " - JJ confessional

Paulina and Jennette went to Lisa and Theresa who were all discussing their thoughts.

" I don't want to be seen as the weakest because of this one challenge, that cart was heavy. " - Lisa

" I do agree, Ben wants JJ out. " - Jennette

" I would take him out cause the way he looked at me at the challenge just shows he's untrustworthy or loyal. " - Lisa

" I don't trust him either. " - Theresa

" That might be the trigger then. " - Paulina

Paulina and Jennette walked away.

" I'm sure JJ wants either one of them out, so should we just go with him to keep us strong? " - Jennette

" I don't know, I feel like maybe we should give them another chance, challenges are different everytime. " - Paulina

" Ben wants JJ very much, and we're with him, so we probably should stick with him. " - Jennette

Zach just came up to them.

" Who are you guys discussing? " - Zach

" JJ. " - Jennette

" I talked to him, he wants Lisa since he thinks she's the weakest. " - Zach

" We were thinking that too, but we also think that JJ is too untrustworthy, and Ben thinks he's unhelpful. " - Paulina

" Well JJ told me that he wants to help more, but you guys aren't giving him a chance. " - Zach

" We are, he just won't show that. " - Jennette

" Well maybe he can show you that voting with him tonight. I talked with Yasmani too, the 5 of us vote for Lisa. " - Zach

" Zach is telling us to vote Lisa, I wanted to vote Lisa, Ben wants to vote JJ, Lisa and Theresa want JJ too. I want to stay strong, but I also don't want so much tension. Me and Jen are probably gonna be the swing votes tonight, and that's not my cup of tea. " - Paulina confessional

" If things do get worse between them, then that might be our final decision. " - Zach

" I need to think more. " - Paulina

" Me too. " - Jen

Back at camp, JJ was believing that Zach would tell everyone to vote for Lisa, but Zach still thinks that JJ is the better decision to vote off to keep the tribe functional. Paulina and Jennette looked to be the swing votes tonight. Tribal was gonna be interesting.

Tribal Council

Rozwi arrived at Tribal Council with Ethan waiting.

" Behind each of you is a torch, grab a torch and get fire. " - Ethan

All 8 grabbed a torch and grabbed fire from the pit.

" This is the ritual of tribal council cause in this game fire represents your life in the game, when your fire is gone, so are you. " - Ethan

The torches were light and everyone sat down.

" So, two whole days here in Zimbabwe, how has it been so far Zach? " - Ethan

" Well in one day we managed to get a shelter made, lots of food and water, and really get comfortable here. " - Zach

" Now of course the real question is, did you manage to make a fire without flint? " - Ethan

" I was the one who was able to get a proper enough fire going, with enough sticks and husk, we got enough smoke to stay and soon a flame and our fire came. " - Yasmani

" I'm sure that is something that makes you feel safe. " - Ethan

" It does. " - Yasmani

" Since I mention that and since someone here is about to go home, who here doesn't feel like they're safe. " - Ethan

" I do. " - Lisa

" Lisa? " - Ethan

" Yeah, I know I struggled at the challenge today, pushing that cart was hard, and JJ was someone who really thought I was bad. " - Lisa

" JJ do you think that? " - Ethan

" I didn't say it exactly like that. I do think she gave up a bit out there, and that obviously could be a major problem for us moving forward. " - JJ

" That's what he thinks obviously. " - Lisa

" Does anyone else think the same thing? " - Ethan

" Me and Paulina have in a way, we do want to keep our tribe strong, although I do feel Lisa shouldn't be blamed for one loss. " - Jennette

" Next challenge I might be better at. " - Lisa

" That's not all everything. Benny has been going around and saying that JJ is lazy around camp. " - Paulina

" Benny is that true? " - Ethan

" Yeah, I mean I don't want to be rude, but JJ has very much done much of nothing lately, so I feel like he should try and do better at that. " - Benny

" And I can if you just give me a chance to do that, it's been only 2 days. " - JJ

" Well your attitude isn't making that easy. " - Benny

" Jeez. " - JJ

" Already their is some tension brewing with this tribe. Yasmani has their been lots of scrambling? " - Ethan

" Yes their has been, I have seen a lot of us go back and forth to different people. I know Zach came to me, then Lisa came to me, JJ came to me. I can't seem to concentrate. " - Yasmani

" I believe the vote will really be between two people, I won't say who though. " - Zach

" The decision really will be between wanting to stay strong or stay functional enough. " - Jennette

" I do want things to get better, so really let's try and make the right choice tonight. " - JJ

" Well I guess we should find out who those people are, it is time to vote, Zach you're up. " - Ethan

Zach walks up to vote.

Theresa casts her vote.

JJ casts his vote.

" As much as I want Benny, we need to stay strong. " - JJ voting confessional for Lisa

" I'll go tally the votes. " - Ethan

He arrives back with the voting urn.

" Once the votes are read the decision is final person voted out will have to leave the tribal council area immediately, i'll read the votes. " - Ethan

He opens it.

" First vote, JJ. " - Ethan

" First person voted out of Survivor Zimbabwe, JJ, that's 5 that's enough need you to bring me your torch. " - Ethan

JJ grabs his torch and brings it to Ethan. Paulina and Jennette felt very bad.

" JJ, the tribe has spoken. " - Ethan

His torch is snuffed.

" Time for you to go. " - Ethan

JJ walks off.

" First vote surely was a group decision, we'll see if it was the right decision, grab your torches head back to camp goodnight. " - Ethan

Rozwi goes back to camp after making a tough vote.

JJ's final words.

" I'm disappointed, the fact they all voted me out is even more gut wrenching. Maybe if I was more working they would have kept me but at the same time I should've been given more days to prove myself, so I'm not rooting for them. So bye guys. " - JJ
