Survivor South Africa Season 9 Episode 03 Description
The Ghost of Your Past Game
The Chappies Blindside left Steffi and Shane uncomfortable in their place in the Breakfast Club, with Marian having to reassure Shane that he’s safe in the alliance. Palesa was aware that Tevin giving her Immunity at Tribal Council could make the perception of the Season Sixers acting as a quad more of a threat even though she feels she’s in the majority of Masu. While PK feels comfortable in a seven strong alliance that excludes Shane and Steffi.
At Yontau, Tania started to regret aligning with Pinty, as Pinty’s food intake becomes too much compared to the rest of the tribe, leading to an argument at night between the two reminiscent of Tania’s clash with Felix in Island of Secrets. Thoriso’s Idol search took a turn when she accidently said to Tania and Killarney that she thought Tevin had found it, when in actuality it hadn’t been found. Word got back to Tevin about the rumour and he confronted the tribe after the Immunity Challenge about it. Tania took the blame for Thoriso’s blunder, and it lead to the tribe searching under the shelter together for the idol. Seamus dug it up and discovered that it would be void after the third tribal council, so he kept it to himself to make sure it wouldn’t be used as he’d want to have found it privately instead.
Reward/Immunity Challenge: Starting from the rivershore, one tribe member at a time must swim out with a lifesaver to retrieve 5 fish traps, while the rest of the tribe unspool a line to be able to pull them back to shore. Once all five fish traps are recovered, they can be opened for one tribe member to use the balls inside of them and throw them onto a tiered wooden rack above ground. The first tribe to land all 10 balls on their wooden rack wins fishing and foraging gear and Immunity.
Masu took the loss of the Immunity challenge hard, with Steffi blaming egos like PK’s getting in the way of tribal unity in challenges. While Toni tried to rally the tribe to vote out Marian, using Marian’s vitiligo as a reason to keep the tribe strong for challenges. Marian overheard the talk about her skin which led to an emotional breakdown on Day 5, as she had been struggling with her skin and the weather conditions due to her disability and Toni’s talk triggered her, however, Steffi reached out to comfort her ally. With PK and Toni thinking they were in control of the vote, Danté returned to the Breakfast Club to eliminate PK over Toni, despite the women wanting to get rid of Toni. Before tribal council, Marian, accompanied by Steffi, found a Diplomatic Immunity Idol, where if after a future Immunity challenge pre-merge, Marian could elect herself or someone of her choosing to permanently swap tribes to avoid that upcoming Tribal Council.
At Tribal Council, Steffi blamed the faults in the tribe in the clashing of egos among the Outcasts instead of seeking unity, with Shane agreeing. When Nico inquired how Masu were dealing with the past relationships made pre-season in the game, Toni and PK both expressed frustration about the tribe talking about their Mindanao tattoos and how it prevented them from playing a new game because of it. When asked about security in the game, Marian brought up that the tribe barely spoke with her throughout the day, which led to an argument between Toni and Marian about each other’s social game. With Meryl bringing up that there wasn’t a lot of private conversations before Tribal Council that she was aware of. With everyone thinking that they were in the majority for the vote, it was revealed that The Breakfast Club were united in blindsiding former Philippines players and voted out PK, leaving a distraught Toni in tears.

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.
