Survivor South Africa Season 9 Episode 02 Description
Survivor 101
At the Outpost, Shane and Steffi urged Seamus and Thoriso to vote for Tejan, someone on the outs in Masu, however, Seamus decided that the two of them remain quiet of their own votes despite Thoriso wanting to gain favour with the others. Returning to their tribes, all four of them revealed the Outpost Idol and vote, but Shane and Steffi chose not to reveal that they offered Tejan to Yontau. That night, Palesa was woken up by Danté, to show that Chappies and Steffi were digging near the shelter looking for an Idol. Danté warns the rest of the Season Sixers that Chappies is working the game at night.
Immunity Challenge: Both tribes must traverse through an obstacle course, breaking through a Wall of Reeds, before releasing a puzzle to solve a staircase puzzle over a ramp. Once the first puzzle is solved, the tribes can choose to either unlock 5 padlocks or untie knots to release two ladders. With their ladders freed, they must get over a Bridge obstacle and a ladder puzzle before reaching their final platform. The first tribe to reach the final platform and light a fire in their wok wins Immunity.
The Outpost vote revealed that Seamus and Thoriso chose to force a tie and voted for Tevin. Shane and Steffi voted for Tania, in an attempt to disrupt Yontau if they lost immunity. However, the rock draw saw Tevin win the Outpost Idol. On top of that, Yontau took the lead in the Immunity challenge early and won, sending the post-mergers to the First Tribal Council. Returning to Yontau, the tribe suggested to Tevin to use the Idol on Palesa, but Felix pulled him aside to vouch for Danté’s loyal character.
Masu were devastated by the loss, having to vote someone out earlier than they anticipated. However, Danté gathered the Season Sixers, Meryl, Marian, and Tejan to plan a Chappies’ blindside. Which made Meryl concerned for the Breakfast Club. In fear of an Idol in case Chappies found one the night before, Marian offered Shane as the split vote despite her own loyalties to him. However, Shane’s paranoia started to feel that Danté was flipping on the Breakfast Club, so he tried to flipped the vote onto Danté right before Tribal Council.
At Tribal Council with Tevin watching in the outliers, the Masu tribe spoke about the struggle between establishing tribal unity and playing a fast paced game. Tejan brought up that Tevin is paying attention to the divisions being brought up. Before the Vote, Nico explained that Tevin will write the name of the Outcast he is saving on the Idol and place it in the voting urn, and that he could ask a question to Masu. Tevin took the opportunity ask why Shane and Steffi pushed for Yontau to give the Idol to Tejan; leading to an argument about trust between Steffi, and Toni. Palesa interjected that Masu is letting slip too much information to Tevin and that they should go to the vote. After the vote, Tevin left Tribal Council, having granted Palesa immunity with the Outpost Idol. And despite the paranoia and arguments just prior, the majority of Masu split their votes between Shane and Chappies, sending a blindsided Chappies home for overplaying too early.

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.
