Survivor South Africa Season 9 Episode 08 Description
This is Gonna Be a Life Long Torture
The medical team extracted Shona from the challenge to examine her further. Nico declared a restart for the sudden death round, with Shane stepping in for Yontau and Felix replacing Killarney for Masu. With Nico releasing an additional two wooden balls into the mud pit, another hour passed in the challenge before Toni managed to score the winning point for Masu. Both tribes were emotionally drained after the challenge, with Meryl and Marian in tears after everything that had happened.
Returning to their bunny chow reward, Tejan and Toni found themselves in the middle of splitting factions of the old Yontau tribe. Thoriso and Felix offered to get rid of Killarney to work with the original Masu outsiders at the merge, while Killarney approached them and Steffi and proposed to get rid of Pinty when they have the chance.
Over at Yontau, the Breakfast Club were unsure of what move to make against the original Yontau. Danté was adamant that they take out Dino, as his puzzle prowess intimidated his plans at the merge, while Meryl and Marian wanted to vote out the sociable Shona, if she was cleared by medical to return to the game. Trying to find any sort of advantage to protect himself, Dino went exploring the beaches and found himself a hidden immunity idol, informing Phil of his plan of flipping Palesa against Danté if possible.
Nico arrived at the Yontau camp to give an update on Shona, where medical was concerned she might have cracked her rib from the incident at the challenge. However, she was cleared fit to return and that Tribal Council would be delayed to Day 14 to let Yontau rest after such a taxing day. Her return to camp was met with open arms by everyone, allowing Dino and Phil to try and find a crack in the original Masu majority. Over Day 14, Danté grew more frustrated with his alliance, as they were adamant about voting Shona out over Dino, while the “No BS” alliance of Dino, Phil and Shona managed to convince Palesa to flip. Knowing the majority were going to split votes between Dino and Shona, Dino revealed he had the idol to Palesa, promising to place votes on Danté if she voted for Dino instead of Shona. At Tribal Council, Palesa followed the plan set up by Dino, changing her vote so that Dino could eliminate a majority using his idol. However, at the last minute, Phil panicked and cast his vote against Shona, sending her home instead of a furiously blindsided Danté.

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.
