Story

Day 10

The David and Goliath tribes meet Jeff Probst, who notices Bi limping and with bandaged right leg. Bi explains that she tore her MCL at the last Immunity Challenge. While her condition is not life-threatening, she fears it would hurt her MMA career. Due to this, Bi chooses to leave the game. The Goliath tribe shows respect to Bi's decision. Jeff notes that the David tribe has suffered one obstacle after another. Bi bids her tribe goodbye before walking away.

With Bi gone, Jeff surprises the survivors with a tribe switch; the David and Goliath tribes will be renamed Vuku and Jabeni respectively, and a third tribe, Tiva, is introduced. With sixteen players and three tribes, the one who opens an empty canister will be sent to Exile Island and will join the tribe that loses the next Immunity Challenge. Carl's canister does not contain a buff, sending him to exile. Dan is unhappy to be separated from his close ally Kara, with him being on Tiva and her being on Vuku. Christian, a wrestling fan, is excited to know John is on his tribe. Jeff notes that the old Goliath tribe has a 3-2 numbers advantage over the Davids. The new tribes are as follows:

Angelina Jabeni	Lyrsa Jabeni	Mike Jabeni	Natalie Jabeni	Nick Jabeni
Alison Tiva	Christian Tiva	Dan Tiva	Gabby Tiva	John Tiva
Alec Vuku	Davie Vuku	Elizabeth Vuku	Kara Vuku	Natalia Vuku
		Carl Exiled

	Dan	“	The most disappointing part for me was watching Kara open hers. I was like, "What is hers? What is mine? I was like, ugh!" I was robbed.	”

With the new tribes in place, the survivors head back to their camps while Carl is given a map to Exile Island. Going to a new beach, the Tiva tribe receives a map from Jeff, who insists they should begin working on shelter.

	Christian	“	The entire tribe system has been gerrymandered against the Davids; that's not good! We're down 9 to 7, but Carl's off an island somewhere now, and everyone else evenly distributed to the minority. So we're in a lot of trouble.	”

The Vuku tribe arrives at camp, and Alec remarks that the old David camp is better than the old Goliath's with all the chairs and hammocks.

	Alec	“	When Jeff said, "drop your buffs," this could be trouble. Fortunately for us, we got three Goliaths, so myself, Kara and Natalia, and then two Davids, Davie and Elizabeth. So, we have the numbers, so I'm super hyped about that.	”

	Davie	“	This is really messed up: Every single tribe has Goliaths as the majority, s that absolutely changes our strategy. We gotta figure out a way to get in with these Goliaths. I am ashamed to say that I haven't befriended too many Caucasians; not that I haven't wanted to, but I just been around black people my whole life. But I'm a black nerd; I drive a PT Cruiser. I'm the black guy that white people like to approach, so hopefully I'll be able to fit in.	”

While, collecting coconuts, Elizabeth and Kara share life stories, which disturbs Natalia.

	Elizabeth	“	They've got us outnumbered, so getting out of this alive is gonna be hard. But I'm not afraid of hard work, so it's definitely time to pull out all stops, and I'm gonna do everything I can to find some common ground.	”

	Natalia	“	Kara, my best ally in this game, my most important ally in this game, is getting along with Elizabeth way too much. They have too many things in common, and I'm getting nervous. These two are getting way too close, and I'm not okay with it.	”

Having the opportunity to be alone with Kara, Natalia confronts her, but Kara assures she is loyal to her. Later, Kara tells Alec of Natalia's worry, but confirms a David will be going next.

	Kara	“	All of a sudden, Natalia is nervous, she is worried that I might jump ship; and it concerns me. I'm not surprised at all; I knew that for whatever reason, it's hard for her to trust people, but we have a foolproof plan, and screwing this up would be dumb.	”

Carl arrives on Exile Island and ponders on his seclusion.

	Carl	“	Of course I'm a truck driver, so I've been alone, but I'm able to pick up the phone, stop at a truck stop, or go talk to somebody. So as far as being on Exile, I've never been alone like this before.	”

As Carl goes further in the woods, he is stopped by a note, which informs him that a game advantage is hidden somewhere within a bunch of coconuts floating across a rocky shore. Carl rushes to find the advantage while being hit by the strong tides. He eventually finds a coconut sewn shut and pries it open. To his surprise, Carl discovers the Idol Nullifier, which blocks the use of a Hidden Immunity Idol. After reading the note that comes with the Idol Nullifier, Carl finds solace that his exile will not be for naught.

	Carl	“	If I guess correctly who's playing an idol, I can play this nullifier, put their name down, and that idol becomes null and void. Finding this advantage is huge, but I have to play it in the right manner. So when the time comes, I'm gonna use this nullifier just like the sling that shot Goliath right in between the eyes and took him out.	”

At the Jabeni tribe, Mike assesses his new tribe, and deems it to be the worst of the three tribes physically.

	Mike	“	I feel this new tribe is the Davids of the Davids of the Davids! I think everyone on the Jabeni tribe would be the last five standing if they're picking teams, and we're all on one tribe. I'll gonna see Tribal Council a lot the next couple of days!	”

As the Jabeni tribe get to know each other, Natalie is displeased having the Davids around and wants them gone. She breaks the conversation and insists to begin doing chores around camp.

	Natalie	“	It feels weird having the Davids in my camp; I want them gone. I didn't feel like going through the whole introduction and getting to know them because the Goliaths are in control; we still have the numbers.	”

Natalie sits by the fire barking at Angelina and Nick to tend the fire, to the two's dismay. As Natalie walks off, Nick asks if Natalie has been consistently acting the way she does, in which Angelina and Mike confirm. Angelina even describes Natalie's recent behavior as "the mellow version." Later at well, Mike tells Nick how Natalie's personality is grating on him. The two feel feel good about each other and agree to form an alliance whom Nick names, "The Rockstars." As a show of trust, Mike tells Nick that Dan has the Goliath's Hidden Immunity Idol.

	Angelina	“	The typical Natalie style is to sit in her throne, look at her peasants and tell them what to do.	”

	Nick	“	It wasn't even a few hours into this tribe where I saw a crack, and her name is Natalie. Even though Natalie is bossiness is tough to listen to, it's almost like sweet music in to my ears because I know it's not just tough on me, it's tough on everybody. My initial goal coming into this situation was just to chill out, try not to play too fast and too hard because that's what I love to do, but I know there's no way a David's going to win this game playing with only Davids; and I see the opportunity to build a relationship with Mike.	”

	Mike	“	I really like Nick. He seems very unpretentious, very salt-of-the-earth, so I'm happy to (plays air-guitar) with him to create that bond. Nothing would make me happier than if this Rockstar alliance bore fruit, but I have more risk right now than [Nick] does because the Goliaths do have the numbers, so we'll see I can live up to that alliance.	”

Challenges

Reward/Immunity Challenge: Blind Barrow
One member from each tribe would act as the caller. The caller would sit on a barrow, directing two blindfolded members to push them through a series of obstacles: first a set of speed bumps, then a maze, and finally a balance beam. At the end of the beam, the caller would retrieve a ball, then direct the two other blindfolded members to navigate the ball through a table maze and into a slot. The first two tribes to get their ball into the slot would win.
Reward: The tribe that places first wins pastries, coffee, and iced coffee.
Winners (in order of finish): Tiva and Jabeni

Final Words

“	I'm just upset because I knew the second we got to this tribe, there was a shift in Alec. I should have went with my gut, and I did not go with my gut. I think I should've just made a big move and continuously make big moves than play stupid. I-I mean I played a stupid game tonight. I'm just pissed, and I want to hurt him so bad.	”
—Natalia Azoqa

Trivia

Secret Scene

• Tiva Celebrates: After winning the Immunity and Reward Challenge, the new Tiva tribe celebrates their winning by cheering with their brownies. In a confessional, Gabby Pascuzzi celebrates that she won the challenge when she felt like she needed it the most. She also notes how fun it was bossing "two buff hot guys" around and that it was a complete role reversal. Gabby believes this challenge gave her the boost she needed to be more herself.

Other

• The title was originally listed as Time to Bring About the Charm Apocalypse.
• This is the first time since "Dire Strengths and Dead Weight" where only the first place tribe wins reward at a combined Reward/Immunity Challenge with more than two tribes.
  • Because that episode's challenge ended with a tie for first place, this is the first time that multiple tribes have won immunity at a challenge with only one winning reward.
