Survivor South Africa Season 9 Episode 10 Description
The Don
After leaving Felix and Thoriso on the bottom of new Masu, Tejan, at Toni’s insistance, found the Idol hidden near the tribe’s water well. When finding out that it would only work for someone at Yontau, they decided to try and sneak it across to Dino. While at Yontau, Shane started trying to court Dino and Phil to prepare a blindside against Danté.
Reward/Immunity Challenge: One at a time, a tribe member must chop through three segments of rope to release a wrecking ball. Once released, the tribe must roll the ball through a netted obstacle and pull over a giant rope climb ramp. Lastly, they must attach the wrecking ball to a swing in order to target 4 tiles to break. The first tribe to break all 4 tiles and then release their tribe flag wins a pizza and beer feast reward and Immunity.
Marian sat out for Yontau, using the challenge to search for an advantage on the sitout bench, while Thoriso’s struggle over the ramp saw Masu lose their lead against Yontau that they couldn’t recover. After the challenge, Toni managed to reach out to Dino to hand him the Yontau idol, however both Shane and Palesa caught the exchange. With a new Idol in hand, Dino and Phil considered either using it to take out Danté or Shane the next time they head back to Tribal Council, unknowing that Marian and Meryl also want to get rid of Danté sooner than later.
After the challenge loss, Felix and Thoriso felt vulnerable to the whims of Toni and Tejan, with the new Masu majority pitching to get rid of Thoriso, who has allies over on Yontau, while the outsiders advocated for Killarney, who didn’t have much social capital in the game. In fear of a potential idol, Steffi and Toni suggested a split vote, using the revote to eliminate Thoriso. However, Tejan revealed the plan to the outsiders. With the split vote information, Thoriso considered throwing a vote onto Felix to save herself. At Tribal Council, Felix pointed out the majority 4 in the new Masu had all the power, feeling compelled to campaign for himself to stay. Even though given the opportunity to sacrifice Felix for her own game, Thoriso stuck with her ally to force the tie vote between the two of them and Killarney, with the original Masu players unifying to send Thoriso 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.
