Survivor UK Season 03 Episode 13 Description
After Matthew’s betrayal, Leilani and Nathan immediately sussed out that not only did he voted for Tinuke, Laurence was also in on it as his vote could have kept Tinuke in the game, but it was directed elsewhere. Nathan spoke to Matthew and tried getting an explanation for the flip, with Matthew explaining that it was because of her threat level and not personal, also implying that he felt he would not have made it to the end if Tinuke remained in the game. Matthew then offered Nathan a deal to go to the end together, in an attempt to patch things up, both men knowing it wasn’t genuine.
The next morning, a lobster trap appeared to have washed up on the Calena beach, with a note attached to it. The note was a cryptic letter which the contestants interpreted to be an idol clue. The contestants scavenged for the item, which Christopher realized was a key to open the lobster trap. Matthew and Christopher eventually found the key and agreed to give Christopher the idol as he was in more danger of going home, but Matthew was given the key because the two men planned on retrieving the idol inside the trap later, but leaving it for now so that the other five would continue looking. Matthew first checked the inside of the trap to make sure it was for an idol, which it was. However, when he relocked it, he didn’t notice that it failed to close properly.
Immunity challenge: Castaways stacked all of their blocks like a line of domino tiles on an angular beam while avoiding tripwires that would topple the blocks that were already stacked. Once all of the blocks have been properly stacked in such a way that they were evenly spaced to topple like dominoes that would reach the end of the beam, the castaway would start a chain reaction which would trigger a mechanism that will release a ball rolling to a bowl, breaking a tile. The first castaway to break their tile won immunity. “Domino Effect” (here referred to as “High Step Back”) challenge from Survivor: Gabon.
Christopher won the immunity challenge and, since he was the main target, the contestants strategized on who to vote out now. Nathan, sensing that he was in trouble, checked the lobster trap and noticed that it was lying open, so he swiftly reached in, grabbing the hidden immunity idol. He told Leilani about it and planned to use it at the next tribal to eliminate Matthew. Despite trying to keep it a secret, the word quickly spread as Hannah eventually told Matthew and Christopher about it, and this prompted them to go to the trap where Matthew instantly realised his mistake. Determined to make sure they don’t miss the opportunity to vote Nathan out, the two men confided in the other players to plan a vote split where Nathan gets 4 votes, but this did not work out as no one wanted to be the backup plan.
At Tribal Council, Nathan played his immunity idol, which he didn’t have to as Laurence was voted out 5–1–1 as he had made the fewest connections of the six.
