Survivor South Africa Season 9 Episode 21 Description
A Game of Fluidity
Despite both electing to vote out Felix, trust between Phil and Dino was at an all time low, with Dino adamant in taking out his ally if he didn’t win Immunity, as he feared that his resume was going to be diminished compared to Phil’s. Tree mail arrived with individual word puzzles for the Salan tribe to search for an advantage for the upcoming Immunity challenge, with Shane finding it shortly before Dino could on the beach.
Reward/Immunity Challenge: Starting on the beach, each tribe member must count a series of objects grouped together before racing to individual number combination locks. Correctly guessing the combination unlocks a baton which they can use to break a tile. An incorrect attempt at unlocking the combination forces the tribe member to run back to the counting objects before they can try again. The first tribe member to unlock their combination lock and break their tile wins a meal of hot dogs and beer, along with Immunity for themselves.
Even with Shane receiving one of the numbers as his advantage, and the majority working together, Phil managed to beat out everyone again for his third consecutive Immunity win. Given the opportunity to share the reward, he chose Marian to accompany him for the hot dogs, where she urged Phil to vote for Dino. While back at the camp, Dino suggested to Shane decided to try and ice out Phil from the vote, by letting him and Killarney think the tribe would be voting Dino, while the others unite to send Killarney to the jury. When Marian returned from reward and was updated on the plan, she suggested something more dramatic, that she would try to imitate Dino’s handwriting, and claim that someone had stolen her vote, so that Phil wouldn’t assume he was completely on the outs.
Tribal Council came with Marian and Dino successfully executing the fake Steal a Vote plan on Phil, with Killarney blindsided out of the game and into the jury. Returning back to Salan camp, Dino told Phil that he stole Marian’s vote to save himself, and somehow the duo found themselves deciding the next morning that Marian would be the biggest threat out of the Final 4.
Reward Challenge: Divided into two pairs, each tribe member must climb up a wooden rig to place a large spool to roll down a three leveled track, and collect it before it falls off at the bottom of the rig. At intervals additional spools must be added to the tracks to increase the difficulty, with dropping a spool ending the challenge. The winning pair receives a helicopter ride to a Mantis Collection owned Game Lodge in the Eastern Cape for an overnight stay and luxurious game drive.
The challenge managed to last until the pairs, Dino and Phil, and Shane and Marian, both had five spools running on their rigs. Even though Dino contemplating throwing the challenge to prevent Phil from receiving more food for the next few days.

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.
