Survivor South Africa Season 9 Episode 11 Description
Spanners in the Works
Nico makes a surprise announcement when the returnee players line up for their next challenge.
Despite feeling betrayed by Tejan and Toni, Felix didn’t want to let revenge take over his game due to losing Thoriso at the last Tribal Council. Toni continued to cement her control over the new Masu, aware of the many connections she’s forming across tribal lines since the swap. On Yontau, Phil’s main goal was to find a means to protect himself until the merge, as his ally Dino only had one idol in his possession. Danté started using the inactive Masu idol he had to bluff to the Breakfast Club that he was assured of getting to merge.
Reward/Immunity Challenge: Perched upon poles in the river, each tribe member must stand for as long as possible while holding a ball above their hairline. The last tribe member from each tribe to remain on their pole with their ball above their heads won a trip to the Outpost, with the tribe with the last member standing overall winning immunity.
Before the challenge began, Nico stated that both tribes would attend the next Tribal Council together, with the winning tribe joining in voting someone out of the losing tribe. Early in the challenge, Danté and Felix fell out of the challenge, where the former Island of Secrets ally discouraged Felix with trusting Tejan and Toni. When Marian lost the challenge, she contemplated using her Diplomatic Immunity at the end of the challenge, as it was appearing that Yontau were going to lose overall, but Danté disagreed with the idea. Eventually, Phil managed to outlast all of Yontau to win a trip to the Outpost, but decided to give immunity to Masu at Toni’s insistence of his safety. To decide who from Masu would join Phil, Toni convinced Tejan and Steffi to drop out as they had both previously been to the Outpost, and she wanted to get Phil on board with Masu’s plans. The two jumped off their poles shortly afterwards to the shock of the two tribes, giving Toni the win. Before Nico could dismiss the tribes, Marian decided to trust herself and handed over her Diplomatic Immunity advantage to swap from Yontau to Masu, making herself immune along with the 5 new Masu tribe members.
The joined Tribal Twist left Yontau scrambling to make a plan, given that Toni appeared to be running the new Masu tribe. However, with the Breakfast Club split between the two tribes, they tried to figure out who on the outs could be their target. Marian received a cold reception from everyone at Masu aside from Steffi. Felix felt divided between siding with his No BS alliance with Phil and Dino, and falling back with old Ta’alo allies Danté and Meryl for the vote. Steffi was concerned about having her number one ally in Marian derailing her own individual game she’s been playing separate from the rest of the Breakfast Club alliance.
The Outpost: Both tribe members attending the Outpost must decide on a name of who they predict will be voted out at the upcoming Tribal Council. If they are correct, each will receive half of a split immunity idol.
As soon as the two read out the Outpost twist, Toni and Phil decided to try and rally their numbers to split votes between Shane and Meryl, given the information of Danté possibly having an idol in his possession intimidated the two. The two finally decided on the plan to force a tie between Shane and Meryl, voting out Shane on the revote. However, that afternoon after the immunity challenge, Shane discovered an advantage hidden in the dunes above Yontau’s camp.

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.
