Survivor South Africa Season 9 Episode 06 Description
Sharp Tools
Tevin’s blindside left Seamus rattled about his position in Yontau, blaming the vote on Dino. At Masu, Danté started chopping off the symbols around camp in the event of a tribe swap, with Toni wary of his alpha male status around camp.
Reward Challenge: With one tribe member inside a wooden cart, four others must use pulleys to hoist the cart off ground to reach its 4 wheels. When all 4 wheels are released and the cart safely placed on the ground, the rider must assemble the cart for it to traverse over a bridge to a sand pit. At the sand pit, the three remaining tribe members must dig up 10 planks needed to fix the second bridge the cart needs to travel over. At the end of the challenge, one tribe member must use the 4 wheels of the cart as part of a lighthouse puzzle. The first tribe to complete their lighthouse puzzle wins a spin on a Rewards Wheel, giving the tribe different food rewards or an advantage for the next immunity challenge.
Yontau took the lead, with Dino finishing the puzzle with ease. With a spin of the Reward Wheel, Yontau won a bag of lentils, and after given an option to select two members of Masu to spin and join the tribe on reward, they chose Tejan and Toni, who successfully won Yontau a meal of Mac and Cheese to share. While on reward, Toni revealed that Danté was successfully eliminating dominant men on Masu to take control at the merge, to the disappointment of Tejan. He reported back to Shane after the reward of Toni’s loose lips, worried that her emotional gameplay will tank his own in the future. Meanwhile, Steffi revealed to Marian alone that she had found the Masu idol, solidifying the two within the Full Package and Breakfast Club alliances.
Immunity Challenge: Three tribe members start the challenge solving a rope peg maze to unravel a key above them. The key opens a gate which leads to a ramp gauntlet the entire tribe must traverse without touching the ground to reach a sliding tile puzzle. The tribe must move the sliding table to hang three sets of tiles on a platform, with one tribe member on the platform to raise the tiles off the ground. The first tribe to spell, “Outwit. Outplay. Outlast.” wins immunity.
Despite Masu’s constant yelling among themselves, and Dino’s puzzle prowess helping Yontau to catch up, Masu managed to win immunity. Amidst Yontau’s scrambling, Shona revealed to Phil and Dino that Seamus wanted to target Dino. Seamus tried to rally the women against Dino in an attempt to emulate Danté’s strategy of getting rid of strong men before the merge. However, the women disagreed with Seamus’ plans, and the tribe unified together to blindside Seamus at Tribal Council. Despite Dino feeling secure in his social game, as the rest of Yontau worked together to defend him, he and Phil arranged for a vote on Killarney for safety in case Seamus had an idol. However, the worry of an idol being used was for nothing, as Seamus didn’t pick up a fake idol he also planted at Tribal Council to bluff his way to safety, ultimately leading to his elimination.

Survivor South Africa Show Summary
Survivor South Africa is a South African reality game show based on the popular international Survivor format.
As in all versions of the show, it features group of strangers who are marooned in an isolated location, where they must provide food, water, fire and shelter for themselves. The contestants will compete in challenges to earn either a reward, or an immunity from elimination. The contestants will be progressively eliminated from the game as they are voted-off by their fellow contestants until only one remains and is given the title “Ultimate Survivor” and be awarded the grand prize of R1 million.
The first five seasons of the show were produced by Endemol and broadcast on M-Net. Since Season 6, the show has been produced by Afrokaans Film & Television.
The first two seasons were hosted by Mark Bayly, and from the third season Nico Panagio took over the hosting duties.
Survivor South Africa Format
The show follows the same general format as the other editions of Survivor. To begin, the players are split into two or three tribes, are taken to a remote isolated location and are forced to live off the land with meagre supplies for a period of several weeks. Frequent physical and mental challenges are used to pit the tribes against each other for rewards, such as food or luxuries, or for immunity, forcing the other tribe to attend Tribal Council, where they must vote one of their tribemates out of the game by secret ballot.
About halfway through the game, the tribes are merged into a single tribe, and challenges are on an individual basis; winning immunity prevents that player from being voted out. Most players that are voted out during this stage become members of the Tribal Council Jury. When only two or three players remain, the Final Tribal Council is held. The finalists plead their case to the Jury as to why they should win the game. The jurors then have the opportunity to interrogate the finalists before casting their vote for which finalist should be awarded the title of “Ultimate Survivor” and wins the grand prize of R1 Million.
Like other editions of the show, the South Africa edition has introduced numerous adaptations, or twists, on the core rules to prevent players from over-relying on strategies that succeeded in prior seasons or other editions of the show. The titular Island of Secrets and the upcoming Immunity Island, and non-playing Captains in Champions, kidnappings, tribe expansions and shuffles. Voting advantages and disadvantages, and in the first season, Panama introduced a Deadman’s Island where contestants voted out after the merge was isolated from the game until an opportunity to return arose.
