Reward Challenge (Day 25)

Challenge: Jail Break

Alright, are you guys ready to get to today's reward challenge? For today's challenge:


You guys will be divided into three teams of four. One member from each team must race from the beach and dig into a jail cell to untie a second team member before moving to the next cells where their third teammates are waiting. At the last cell are sticks and rope the teams must use to retrieve a key outside to escape the prison. The first team to free themselves from the prison and reach the finish mat wins reward.


Want to know what you are playing for? Today the winning team will have a spa day, you will be taken by boat to a resort where you can go out and enjoy a hot bath, a massage and a few snacks to fill your belly. It should be refreshing and will rejuvenate for the final 14 days of your journey. We'll draw for teams, let's get it on.

On the blue team, we have: Greg

, Michelle, Kellee and Christian.

(These are for individual challenges on StrawPolls, so let's see how these would play out in the next immunity challenge tomorrow)

Ghost Island (Day 25)

Jaclyn was excited about heading to Ghost Island, with their failure to blindside Carolyn, Natalie's idol still not being usable, and Cydney going home and leaving them even more down in numbers. Jaclyn knew that this visit to Ghost Island should bring her what she needs to turn this game around in her favor.


She arrives at the island, and walks up to the row of urns and proceeds to smash her own. She then follows a trail to a table with a chest on it.


She opens the chest and reads the note inside; "This is Natalie Anderson's Hidden Immunity Idol, that she used to save you in the final five of Season 29: San Juan Del Sur. This idol was arguably Natalie's biggest move, that made the jury respect her game enough to give her the win, just when you were also sitting next to her in the final three. You now have a chance to use this to make a big flashy move to impress the jury and hopefully gain you their votes to win the game. This idol can only be played on other people and up to the final six, good luck."


Jaclyn is amazed with what she got here, and she knows that she will have to use it in the most critical time, as this one idol could truly help her turn this game around and possibly win her the game.

Immunity Challenge (Day 26)

Challenge: We Will Go Round

We'll now bring in Jaclyn, returning from Ghost Island, alright, are you guys ready to get to today's Immunity Challenge? Firsts things first, Jay, I need to take it back you can can still go three in a row, once again Immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge:


The castaways must keep a ball spinning within a wheel as they stand on individual balance beams. At regular intervals, the castaways will be made to step forward onto narrower parts of the beam. If at any point their ball drops, the castaway loses the challenge. The last castaway with a spinning ball wins.


But to make things a little more interesting, today you will be divided into two groups of six, one person from each group will win immunity, both groups will be going to Tribal Council separately and they will vote someone out, so two winners and later tonight, two people will be voted out.


Big stakes, we'll get it on:


Alright, competing against each other in red; Christian, Trish, Reynold, Jaclyn, Michelle and Teresa.


And competing against each other in green; Jay, Natalie, Kellee, Natalie, Terry and Greg.


You may now start spinning. This challenge is on!!


Red: https://strawpoll.com/y53xvo1c5

Green: https://strawpoll.com/354qpa5ow


(Same rules apply as last time, you can vote for many players as you want, but please keep in mind to vote for who you think should realistically win this challenge. The challenge advantages will be listed in each poll.)


(You guys will also decide which Group will be going to Tribal Council "First", it doesn't really matter since both tribal councils will happen simultaneously at 6pm-12mn, but it will determine the elimination order)

Immunity Challenge Results (Day 26)

We are down to four, Reynold and Michelle for red, Kellee and Jay for green, two of you will win immunity, two of you will not, we'll see who pull it off.


Jay drops! His win streak is over, Kellee wins Immunity!! It is now Reynold vs Michelle, Michelle can barely hold her wheel up, while Reynold is losing his balance, this will be a close battle, and Reynold drops!! Michelle wins Immunity!!


Kellee, come get immunity, it is yours, you are safe from tonight's tribal council, cannot be voted out of this game. Michelle come on over, you also win immunity, cannot be voted out at tonight's tribal council. Congrats both of you, well done.


Green team, since Kellee dropped out before Michelle, you guys will be heading to Tribal Council first, where somebody will be the thirteenth person voted out of this game, but you guys will not be heading back to your camp, instead you will be going to the old Pagbawi camp, it will be the same as when you left it. You can head out now, I'll see you at Tribal Council.


Red team, you guys will be going to Tribal Council second and have the advantage of knowing who was voted out of the first Tribal Council. You guys can return to your Camp, I'll see you at Tribal Council.


(I will be a little late when posting the storylines and strategies for the votes, but it will come eventually before 3pm)

Pinili Camps (Day 26)

Flashback from when the tribe got back from their previous tribal council; Jay was immediately put in hot waters for voting with the women, Christian was supposed to vote with him, but he stuck to the plan to vote for Cydney to keep tribal harmony, everyone eventually forgive him, but Carolyn was not going to forgive him, they were so close to blindsiding her, and she will not let that slide, so she declares a bounty on Jay's head.


Now at the present; Kellee, Natalie, Terry, Carolyn, Jay and Greg arrived at the old Pagbawi camp, Greg and Natalie were touring them around, but they all eventually settled down at the shelter, while Kellee and Natalie moved over to the water well to discuss strategy. Kellee couldn't hold her happiness any longer as things could not have played out better for her right now, she just won immunity and she still has an Idol that would expire today that she could just give to Natalie to keep her safe, she told Natalie about this and the women gleefully rejoiced that neither of them would be going home tonight.


The other four people back at the shelter all decided to keep it simple and vote out Natalie, as they have no other options, and they thought that whatever she got from Ghost Island, she would've already used at the last Tribal Council. But Carolyn knew that with Jay not having immunity, now would be the prime time to vote him out, so she proceeds to get Terry to go and vote with Natalie and Kellee to blindside Jay while they could, if not, he could go on another immunity run and they'll have trouble getting him out later. And if anything happens, she gets her idol ready.


However Jay was paranoid about Natalie's advantage, and thought maybe now would be a good time to circumvent that and try to and actually blindside Carolyn, he knows that she's gunning for him and knows that he's in trouble for not winning immunity, so he grabs Greg and went to Natalie and Kellee to discuss pulling off that blindside they wanted three days ago.


Natalie and Kellee couldn't believe what they were seeing... not only were they literally safe from elimination, but they were being offered the swing vote position. The women knew that whoever they vote off tonight will have a huge impact in the game and they needed to think about this carefully... do they try and blindside Carolyn for a second time? or do they vote out Jay while he is vulnerable? (They don't know that Jay has an Idol...)


Meanwhile... in the other camp. Jaclyn, Teresa, Reynold, Michelle, Trish and Christian all returned to their camp, and they all began strategizing. Michelle was incredibly happy that she managed to win immunity, saying that this is exactly how she got voted out first time around and now she was able to earn the right to keep her torch lit. However, Jaclyn was the opposite, she was bummed that she lost immunity and because her new idol has a condition that she could only use it for other people, she has nothing to save herself, she gladly accepts defeat.


Reynold, Trish, Christian and Teresa were all paranoid about what Jaclyn got from Ghost Island and they just decide to risk it and vote her off with four votes as they have no one else to vote out. But later on, Reynold thought of a plan that in case anything goes south; he, Christian and Teresa all go ahead and just vote out Trish to avoid any of them going home and to avenge Hayden. The three agreed and they awaited until the sun set down so they can arrive at Tribal Council.


However, just when all hope seemed lost, Jaclyn had a brilliant idea, she goes up to Michelle and tells her to give up her Immunity and give it to her and in return she would play her idol on Michelle. They only had a few minutes before they go out to Tribal Council, but the women knew that this is will be a very big move to make and they barely have any time to discuss how to play it out and who to vote off, as they will now have to go to Tribal Council.

Tribal Council #13 (Day 26)

Today's double elimination twist split the Pinili Tribe into two groups of six. The Red Team consisted of Christian, Jaclyn, Michelle, Reynold, Teresa and Trish, Michelle won the immunity challenge and since she was the last person standing, her team will go to Tribal Council second and have the advantage of knowing what happened beforehand.


Michelle was proud of her accomplishment, while Jaclyn was saddened about her position as she had nothing much to save herself. While the majority alliance of Teresa, Christian, Reynold and Trish decided to take the risk and try to vote off Jaclyn, even though they don't know what she got from her recent visit to Ghost Island. But Reynold conducts a plan that in case anything goes south, he, Christian and Teresa perform a 3-2-1 and blindside Trish.


However just at the nick of time Jaclyn figures out a plan; get Michelle to give her her immunity and play her idol on her, this way, they're both safe from being eliminated.


Will Jaclyn's plan succeed? or will someone be blindsided?

(I ended these polls early, so we can get down to it)


If anybody has a Hidden Immunity Idol, and you want to play it, now would be the time to do so.


Kellee: Jeff, I have this second idol I got from Ghost Island, I could only play both of them for three Tribal Councils, this one will be expiring tonight... so I might as well play it for Natalie.



This is a Hidden Immunity Idol, any votes cast against Natalie will not count.



Carolyn: You know what Jeff, they tried to blindside me last time, I got lucky, so I'm playing mine now to be safe.


This is also a Hidden Immunity Idol, any votes cast against Carolyn will not count.


Jay: I wasn't supposed to play this, unless you played yours, but based on how things are going... I'm going to have to save my own ass tonight.


This is a Hidden Immunity Idol, any votes cast against Jay, Carolyn and Natalie will not count, anyone else?




Alright, once the votes have been read, the decision is final and that person will have to leave the tribal council area immediately, I'll read the votes.


First Vote, Natalie (does not count)

Tribal Council #14 Results (Day 26)
