Survivor South Africa Season 9 Episode 09 Description
A Flat Out No
Phil owned up to messing up the plan, leaving Palesa unsure if she should work with the Yontau duo. However, Danté’s frustrations with the Breakfast Club left Palesa as someone he was willing to continue working with. Meanwhile, Meryl and Marian started to question whether it was worth still working with Danté given his explosive response to the vote at Tribal Council. At Masu, Tejan shared the idol clue he received at the Outpost to Toni in the hopes to solidify themselves as a duo.
Reward/Immunity Challenge: Starting in the middle of a maze, 1 tribe member designated as a caller must navigate their blindfolded tribe to retrieve 6 bags of puzzle pieces. Once all 6 bags have been found and placed on their tribe’s puzzle station on the outer side of the maze, the caller may attempt to unscramble a four word puzzle. The first tribe to solve their word puzzle wins a food shop reward and immunity.
During the challenge, Dino whispered to Thoriso that he was going home if Yontau lost, but the tribe banded together to yell over Thoriso’s instructions, leading Masu to fall behind while Dino was working on the word puzzle. The tactic worked as it gave Dino enough time to win the challenge for Yontau and save himself for a few days. At the reward, Meryl was chosen first to enter the food shop for a 3-minute all-you-can-eat round, where she found a Tribal Council Pass hidden inside a cake with the tribe symbols on it.
After the challenge loss, Steffi vented her frustrations about the food rations with Pinty, while Toni and Tejan found themselves safely in the middle of two factions. The former Yontau wanted to take out Killarney before the merge, while the former Masu wanted to get rid of Pinty before solidifying new alliance lines with Killarney. Felix and Thoriso pitched to Tejan as to why Killarney should leave, while Pinty suggested that Steffi was the bigger social threat come merge. Thoriso shot down that idea, as she was aiming to get rid of potential goats before the merge. With both sides of the new Masu tribe thinking that Toni and Tejan were with them, the former Yontau found themselves blindsided with the new Masu majority choosing immediate unity over the potential future, sending a stunned Pinty home.

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.
