This is the second episode of Survivor South Africa: Maldives.
Story[]
Day 4[]
The "Plebs" and "Celebs" convene for a Reward Challenge and, at last, learn of the other group's existence. Already divided by team color, the "Plebs" and "Celebs" stand with their like-colored tribemates. Nico then hands Philicity a blue buff, letting her take the spot left when Lukhanyo left the blue team the night before.
Nico names the yellow tribe "Raituhn", meaning "common man" in the Maldivian language of Dhivehi, though he acknowledges that no one on that tribe can be described as "ordinary". He names the blue tribe "Goma", which means "famous" in Dhivehi.

The tribes then compete in their first Reward Challenge: a grueling obstacle course. Raituhn proves to be the stronger tribe, and defeats their rivals to win assistance from a local Maldivian survival expert. They also to decide whether to live on Celebs Island or Plebs Island. Raituhn chooses Celebs Island, but before they head off, Nico tells the contestants that there is one more thing to be settled.
Nico tells the tribes that they will now vote for the tribe member they believe is least equipped to survive the elements. They will stick a machete in the stump of the person they wish to vote for. By a vote of 5-4, Tasleem is elected as Raituhn's weakest member. On Goma, Alison is voted as the weakest in a 4-2-2-1 vote. Nico informs Tasleem and Alison that they have received the Black Cowrie Shell, a curse that will cause them to receive an automatic vote at every Tribal Council they attend until they are voted out. Once they are voted out, they will give the shell to a tribemate, hence continuing the curse. However, Alison and Tasleem will be given the chance to forgo the penalty if they decide to mutiny at the start of the next Immunity Challenge. This will allow them to still hold the Black Cowrie and transfer it to a tribe member if they are voted out, but they will no longer receive the penalty votes. Alison and Tasleem are warned that they may only mutiny once, and are told to think about their decision before to the next challenge. Nico passes the new tribes their flags before sending them off.
Day 5[]
Challenges[]
Challenge: Pitfalls and Pitstops
The tribes will make their way through an obstacle course. First, they will climb to get over a wall and cross a pair of balance beams. Once the tribe has cleared the beam, they will do a leopard crawl through a mud pit and climb up a steep ramp. They will then hop off the ramp and burrow through an underground tunnel. Once the tribe has cleared the tunnel, they will use two planks to cross a blown bridge obstacle. At the end of the course, the tribe will assemble four puzzle pieces to create a large drumstick. The first tribe to use their drumstick to strike their gong wins.
Reward: The assistance of a local Maldivian survival expert named Eyesee,[1] as well as the right to choose which island they will live on.
Winner: Raituhn (chose Celeb Island)
Challenge: TBA[2]
One tribe member will be harnessed to a rope and race out into the water towards a tank. They will unhook the tank from a secure line and clip it to their rope, allowing their tribe to pull the tank back to shore. Once the tank is ashore, the tribe will push it into position so that one member may climb it to retrieve a key from a post. They will use that key to unlock a box in the ground to release a lever. The first tribe to pull their lever and drop their flag wins.
Winner: Raituhn
Tribal Council[]
Day 4[]
The tribes were asked to vote for the person they believed was least equipped to survive the elements. The person who received the most votes would receive the Black Cowrie, a curse that causes them to automatically receive a vote at every Tribal Council until the merge.

Final Words[]
![]() Philicity |
“ | No one ever expects to be voted off. Look, I did have an inkling. Um, it was based on strength... just not really my strong point. So um, I kinda had an inkling when everybody was nodding about the strength thing, I was like, ah, I can see where this is going. Tja, such is life, I suppose. | ” |
