Survivor South Africa Season 9 Episode 14 Description
A Steady Ship
Tejan was blindsided by the vote, which saw Steffi sticking to her original Breakfast Club and Full Package alliance over the new Masu tribe. In a means to apologize to Tejan, Meryl explained that it was because Toni kept threatening her game, while Tejan was under the belief it was Steffi leading the charge against her, not Toni. Despite getting his way finally, the Breakfast Club started to turn their sights onto Danté, as his aggressive approach with Tejan has started to alienate Shane and the rest of the alliance. While Danté desperately wants the Breakfast Club to listen to his concerns about Dino.
Reward/Immunity Challenge: Starting at the bottom of a steep dune, each tribe member must run up to retrieve three keys one at a time for their respective chests. Unlocking their three chests provides them a bags of puzzle pieces for them to solve. The first tribe member to solve the puzzle wins a meal of Chinese Takeout and Immunity.
Meryl manages to win Immunity, saving herself on the same day she was voted out on Island of Secrets, and her child’s birthday. Given the option to invite 3 others to join her on reward, she chose the rest of the tribe who didn’t receive a good meal at the Merge Feast reward, Dino, Phil and Steffi to join her. Where at the Reward, they were given a dilemma; the Chinese takeout reward, or blankets for the tribe. Despite their hunger, Meryl and the Reward group chose the blankets as the tribe were freezing at night. Along with the reward, there was a jar of fortune cookies where the entire tribe had to open together, which led to Meryl winning a trip to the Outpost. However, Marian felt that Meryl’s luck was granting her too much power in the game, thus started to create dissent against her ally within the tribe as the next target after Danté.
The Outpost: The castaway is given a dilemma, take the 50/50 coin advantage and lose their vote at the upcoming Tribal Council, or leave the Outpost with nothing.
At the Outpost, Meryl took the 50/50 Coin advantage willingly, as she didn’t want to have to write Danté’ name down at Tribal Council, despite having approached the Breakfast Club and the No B.S. alliance about flipping on him. Returning to camp, unaware that her target had grown, Meryl lied to the tribe that she lost her vote because she failed at getting the 50/50 Coin advantage. While the Breakfast Club struggled to deal with the fact that they were blindsiding their friend, Danté, at the upcoming Tribal Council.
At Tribal Council, Nico asked the tribe about any forming alliances controlling the game, and Tejan spoke out about the women were in charge, leading to a four-way argument between himself, Steffi, Marian, and Meryl about him scrambling from the bottom and him accusing them of deceptive gameplay. However, Danté thought that Tejan was creating a diversion and got up to try and beg Marian to not fall for it and to vote out Dino instead. However, when the votes were cast, Danté discovered that the Breakfast Club weren’t picking Tejan over Dino, but were planning his blindside all along, sending him to the jury.

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.
