This season also featured multiple advantages that were hidden during various rewards. These advantages were to be used at the following Tribal Council, whether or not the contestant who found it was required to attend. In this case, the contestant would anonymously gift it to someone who was to attend Tribal Council, for them to open just before leaving. The season premiered on September 27, 2017.

He explained to them that they have been divided into three tribes based on the positive traits most associated with them by others : Heroes, Healers, and Hustlers. Reward Challenge : On the beach nearby, each tribe has an urn which is on fire and is 15 feet in the air. Each tribe is allowed to gather as many supplies as they can until Jeff rings the bell on the boat. Then, each tribe must get all six members on their boat and paddle to the beach. When they get to shore, they must lift one person high enough to light their torch. The first tribe to light their torch wins fire in the form of a massive fire making kit that will be waiting for them back at their camp. The second tribe to light their torch will win flint. The losers will go back to camp with no fire - making tools. During the challenge, Ryan found a secret advantage. The Healers and Heroes came in first and second, respectively, while the Hustlers went completely off course. The Healers tribe had no problem creating fire with their kit, while Jessica developed an attraction towards Cole. The next day, Mike decided to look for a hidden immunity idol, but Joe became suspicious of Mike 's absence and confronted him over what he had been doing. At the Heroes tribe, a majority formed between Alan, Ashley, Ben, and JP, but Alan became suspicious over Ashley and JP 's bond. Still intimidated by their connection the following night, he pulled JP aside and asked him if he had a hidden immunity idol. Despite JP pulling out his pockets and stripping nude to prove he is not hiding anything on his body, Alan continued to harass JP over having an idol. This irked Ashley, who wondered whether aligning with Alan was a good idea. At the Hustlers tribe, Patrick and Ali aligned, while Ryan learned his `` secret advantage, '' was a `` super immunity idol '' that can be played after the votes are read. This advantage can only be used at the first Tribal Council. If his tribe does not go to the first Tribal Council, he must send it to someone on the losing tribe, who will not be aware of who sent the advantage. Ryan informed Devon of this advantage, and offered to use it on him in the event they end up at Tribal Council, forming a final 2 deal. Immunity Challenge : The castaways will race up a cargo net to the top of a tower. Each tribe will then pull a heavy cart up the tower, then hop in and quickly roll down to the bottom. At the bottom will be three different table mazes. The first tribe to reach the mazes will get first choice of which maze they want to tackle. The second tribe will get to choose between the remaining two mazes. The last tribe will be left with the maze that remains. Next, they will work together as a tribe to get their maze to the top of an even taller tower. Once at the top of the tower, two players from each tribe will maneuver three balls through their maze. The first two tribes to finish win immunity. After Ben and Chrissy 's poor maneuvering of the maze, the Healers and Hustlers won immunity, sending the Heroes to Tribal Council and forcing Ryan to will his advantage. At the Heroes camp, the majority decided to send Katrina home over Chrissy, but the tension between Alan and Ashley still lingered. Alan later approached Chrissy and Katrina with a plan to vote out Ashley, and tried to convince Ben in joining them. Ben tried to assure Alan that Ashley and JP were loyal to them, but Alan was still paranoid over the potential couple. Before Tribal Council, Chrissy learned that she had been given the secret advantage. At Tribal Council, Ashley called Alan out for his irrational behavior, while Alan openly stated that he did not trust Ashley or JP and warned his other tribe mates about them becoming a power couple. He also divulged that the initial discussion was between voting out Chrissy and Katrina. Ultimately, the plan to vote out Katrina was followed and she became the first person voted out in a unanimous vote. 514 `` I 'm a Wild Banshee '' Recap 1.6 / 6 October 4, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 04 ) 8.15 20 After returning from Tribal Council, Chrissy felt more secure about her spot in the game. At the Hustlers camp, Simone was pleased with her conquering of the outdoors, but her bragging and laziness set most of her tribemates off, while Ali approached Simone about working together. At the Healers camp, Cole and Jessica bonded over a fishing trip, while Joe began looking for a hidden immunity idol. After misinterpreting the clue as pointing towards the fishing raft, Joe had Cole help him find the idol. At the Heroes camp, JP established himself as the tribe 's provider to keep the target off his back, while Chrissy formed an alliance with Ben after weighing her options. Back at the Hustlers camp, Patrick tried to amuse his tribemates by acting boisterously around camp, but Lauren saw him as too unpredictable to keep around and voiced her concerns to Ali. Reward / Immunity Challenge : Three members of each tribe will swim out to a floating net ring. They will then dive down and maneuver a bundle of puzzle pieces through a cage. Once a tribe has collected all three bundles, the two remaining tribe members will use those pieces to solve a sign post puzzle. The first two tribes to finish win immunity and are safe from the vote. In addition, the first tribe to finish wins a fishing kit with traps, net, knife, line, lures, and sinkers. The second tribe to finish wins a smaller fishing kit with lines and lures. The last tribe to finish wins no reward, but will go to Tribal Council where one member will be the second person voted out. Despite the Hustlers starting the puzzle first, Simone 's inability to assist resulted in the loss for the Hustlers, while the Healers & Heroes placed first and second, respectively. Simone apologized to the tribe for costing them the victory and asked Lauren to join her in voting out Patrick. Patrick and Ryan agreed on voting out Simone, while Ali weighed her options with Ryan. At Tribal Council, Patrick and Simone each pled their case, with Patrick stating tribe strength is important while Simone stated that trust is more important. In an accidental slip - up, Patrick said he could trust most of his tribemates, when he meant to say `` all, '' raising some concern amongst his tribemates. However, Patrick was spared, and Simone was unanimously voted out. 515 `` My Kisses Are Very Private '' Recap 1.7 / 7 October 11, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 11 ) 8.02 19 The morning after Simone 's elimination, Ryan and Patrick agreed on a guys ' alliance with Lauren as their first target, while Lauren still wanted Patrick gone, as Patrick 's social game was lacking. Patrick also openly searched for a hidden immunity idol, which caused his tribemates to distrust him. Ali tried convincing Patrick to calm down, and he appreciated that she was looking out for him. At the Heroes camp, Ben and Chrissy were torn between voting out JP or Alan. Ben was wary about JP and Ashley 's perceived status as a power couple, while Alan struggled with camp life. At the Healers camp, Cole and Jessica 's mutual romantic interest continued. Joe believed that Mike would be a unanimous target, but Cole told Jessica about Joe 's idol. After Joe complained about the way Roark prepared food and threw it away instead of offering it to his tribemates, Cole prematurely leaked the idol information to Roark and Desi, to Jessica 's shock and dismay. Immunity / Reward Challenge : All tribe members race through a series of obstacles. They use sandbags to knock blocks off a ledge. Next, they will stack those blocks one on top of the other. The first two tribes to finish win immunity and are safe from the vote. In addition, the first tribe to finish wins four live chickens. The second tribe to finish wins a dozen eggs. The last tribe to finish wins no reward and a trip to Tribal Council where somebody will be the third person voted out. The Heroes placed first, while the Healers placed second despite forgetting a block. Patrick 's refusal to swap out during the throwing segment led to another loss for the Hustlers, and he apologized for his actions in the challenge. Lauren was angry with Patrick, and the way he responded to her asking if she was the target due to his selfish competitiveness in the challenge set her off even more. Ali, Devon, and Ryan debated on whether to vote out Lauren or Patrick. At Tribal Council, Lauren passionately campaigned for Patrick 's elimination. Patrick promised to integrate with his tribe better, but they never gave him the chance ; after being voted out unanimously, Patrick had harsh words for his former tribemates as his torch was snuffed, and he became the third person eliminated from the game. 516 `` I Do n't Like Having Snakes Around '' Recap 1.8 / 7 October 18, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 18 ) 8.12 17 On day 9, the tribes were surprised when Jeff announced a tribe swap. The new Levu tribe consisted of Heroes Alan & Ashley, Healers Desi & Joe, and lone Hustler Devon. The new Soko tribe consisted of Heroes Chrissy & JP, lone Healer Roark, and Hustlers Ali & Ryan. The new Yawa tribe consisted of lone Hero Ben, Healers Cole, Jessica & Mike, and lone Hustler Lauren. Jeff also announced a winner - take - all reward challenge to test how well the new tribes worked together. Reward Challenge : Three members of each tribe will be attached to a braided rope and must work together to untangle themselves and progress through a course. They will then use the rope to hook a sled and pull it back to them. The two remaining tribe members will use the pieces on the sled to solve an upright puzzle. The reward is a winner take all feast of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and an individual bag of potato chips for each of the winners. By a narrow margin, Jessica and Mike solved their puzzle for Yawa first, winning reward for their tribe. As the new Yawa tribe members got to know each other better, Jessica discovered a secret advantage in her bag of chips that allowed her to block a person from voting to be used only at the next Tribal Council. She told Cole and Mike to build trust and keep the original Healers tribe intact, but Cole used the information to gain trust with Ben and Lauren, confusing the latter as to why he would tell her about it. She told Mike, who confronted Jessica and Cole over telling Lauren. After initial denials, Cole admitted only to telling Ben, which upset Jessica. At the new Soko tribe, Roark worried about her position within the tribe as the lone Healer, while Ryan and Chrissy aligned after he told her he was the one who gave her the super idol for the first tribal council. At the new Levu tribe, Ashley and Alan put aside their differences to target a Healer, while Joe told Devon the Heroes were targeting him so that he would side with the Healers, but Devon saw through the lie. Immunity Challenge : Each tribe will race out to a large crate of puzzle pieces. Next, they will maneuver their crate through a series of obstacles. Once they reach the finish, they will unlock their second set of puzzle pieces. They will arrange those pieces so to complete a giant puzzle. The first two tribes to finish win immunity and are safe from the vote. The losing tribe will go to Tribal Council where somebody will be the fourth person voted out. Yawa easily finished first, while Soko placed second. At the Levu camp, Devon was the swing vote ; he asked Ashley if she was targeting him, which she denied. Desi overheard the conversation and relayed it to Joe, who presumed that Devon would side with the Heroes. In an effort to get the target on his back so he would play his immunity idol, Joe confronted his entire tribe, and a heated argument ensued between him and Alan. Desi tried to convince Joe to give her his idol to gain her trust, while Devon saw that he received Jessica 's advantage, not to be opened until voting takes place. At Tribal Council, Joe targeted Ashley as the weakest link, while the old Heroes & Healers each campaigned for Devon 's vote. Devon opened his advantage and was shocked to learn his vote had been blocked. Before the votes were read, Joe stood up to play his idol. After some deliberation, he decided to play it for himself after catching Ashley 's facial expression, and the two votes against him were negated. The Healers ' votes went against Alan, and he was eliminated. 517 5 `` The Past Will Eat You Alive '' Recap 1.7 / 7 October 25, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 25 ) 8.22 17 At the Yawa camp, the loud crackling of bamboo in the fire reminded Ben of his difficult time in the United States Marine Corps. He removed himself from the camp to clear his head, while his tribemates showed concern for his well - being. Reward Challenge : The contestants will have their arms and legs bound together and they must slither through the sand while pushing a ball relay style through the course. When they reach the finish, the remaining tribe member will shoot five balls into a very high and narrow basket. The first tribe to finish will win iced coffee, pastries, extra coffee, and tea to take back to camp. The second tribe to finish gets one jug of iced coffee. Levu easily cruised to first place, and Yawa placed second after Ryan struggled for Soko in the challenge. Devon still felt threatened by Joe and pledged his allegiance to Ashley, and they discussed bringing in Desi against Joe. At the Soko camp, Ryan apologized for losing the challenge for his tribe, but relied on his social game to further himself. Roark still felt uneasy about her position within the tribe and aligned with Ali, who suggested to Ryan that they target Chrissy. Ryan was reluctant to turn against Chrissy, but he kept his options open. At the Yawa camp, Cole annoyed his tribemates with his poor eating manners, while Mike and Jessica discovered a hidden immunity idol at the water well. Immunity Challenge : The contestants will swim out to a boat and retrieve three bags of rice, push them through a hole and transport them across a balance beam to shore. They must then tear open each bag to retrieve three balls and maneuver them through a balance maze. The first two tribes to finish win immunity. The losers will go to Tribal Council where somebody will be the fifth person voted out. Yawa placed first and Levu placed second, sending Soko to their first Tribal Council of the season. Chrissy approached Roark about strategy for the first time, but Roark targeted Chrissy for her poor challenge performance ; to save herself, Chrissy told JP that Roark proposed an all - girls ' alliance, and JP instantly agreed to vote out Roark. Ali again talked to Ryan about voting out Chrissy, and Ryan realized he was the swing vote. At Tribal Council, Roark and Chrissy each campaigned against the other, but ultimately, Ryan sided with Chrissy to eliminate Roark from the game. 518 6 `` This is Why You Play Survivor '' Recap 1.6 / 6 November 1, 2017 ( 2017 - 11 - 01 ) 7.69 20 After Tribal Council, Ali confronted Ryan over why he left her out of the vote against Roark, and a defensive Ryan replied that he was scared of Ali and Roark 's bond. Ali and Ryan subsequently got into an argument. At the Yawa camp, Mike caught a small fish and accidentally dropped it in the fire, but he recovered it and even shared the fish with his tribemates, while Cole ate a bigger fish for himself, annoying Ben. Cole continued to rub his tribemates the wrong way by arguing that he has n't been eating enough. Reward Challenge : The castaways will race through an obstacle course ; pairs of castaways will carry a buoy using poles across a teeter - totter balance beam, which will release a key that is used to unlock the tribe 's boat. They must untie the knots and pull the boat to a platform where one tribe member will use a slingshot to knock down two targets. The first tribe to finish wins 10 pizzas and soft drinks, and the second tribe to finish wins one cheese pizza to share. The last tribe to finish wins no reward. Soko placed first and Yawa placed second after Levu was unable to recover from their bad start. Ryan anticipated a merge and considered blindsiding JP for being a physical threat. At the Levu camp, Ashley tried to turn Desi against Joe, and Desi considered making that move. Meanwhile, Devon tried to keep an eye on Joe to make sure he would n't scheme, but when he turned his back, Joe found a clue to a hidden immunity idol. That night, while everyone else was asleep, Joe followed the clue to the idol 's location. At the Yawa camp, Cole passed out from hunger, but after Mike and Jessica checked on him, he felt fine. Ben and Mike subsequently discussed getting rid of Cole due to his perceived weakness. Immunity Challenge : The tribe must work together to balance a plate using 5 ropes, 4 of which are held by the tribe ( 1 by each member ). Players must make their way to the center, one by one, and stack blocks that spell `` IMMUNITY. '' The first two tribes to finish win immunity and are safe from the vote, while the losing tribe will go to Tribal Council where one member will be the sixth person voted out. Each tribe lost their stack at least once, but Yawa and Levu won the challenge, sending Soko to tribal council once again. Ryan and Chrissy were torn between voting out JP or Ali ; Chrissy did not trust Ali, but recognized JP as a physical threat. At Tribal Council, the tribe discussed the impending merge and how JP 's laidback approach to strategy has made him tough to read. In the end, Ryan and Chrissy voted against Ali, sending her home. 519 7 `` Get to Gettin ' '' Recap 1.6 / 6 November 8, 2017 ( 2017 - 11 - 08 ) 7.82 21 After returning from Tribal Council, Chrissy felt like she was in a power position due to both Ryan and JP wanting to work with her. At the Levu camp, the tribe 's food supply was depleted. When the tribes arrived at what looked like a reward challenge, Jeff announced the merge, as well as a large steak feast. During the feast, Chrissy became irritated at Joe 's mannerisms and tried to realign with Ben, who was worried that the others might hear their conversation. At the new camp, Cole unsuccessfully attempted to find an advantage while building the new shelter. The Healers reunited with plans to bring in Ben and Lauren from the old Yawa tribe, while the Heroes & Hustlers aligned against the Healers. Devon approached Lauren about turning against the Healers, but she instantly told Mike. Devon also approached Chrissy and Ben about voting out either Joe or Cole ; Ben still wanted Cole gone for personal reasons, while Jessica and Mike warned Cole that he was in danger. Immunity Challenge : Using centrifugal force, the castaways must keep a ball spinning within a wheel as they stand on individual balance beams. At regular intervals, the castaways will be made to step forward onto narrower parts of the beam. If at any point the ball drops or a castaway falls off the beam, the castaway loses the challenge. The last castaway with a spinning ball wins immunity and is safe from the vote. Desi outlasted Ashley to win the challenge. Cole apologized to Ben, who pretended to forgive him but realized he may have to continue with Cole to benefit his own game. Mike suggested to the rest of the Healers that they target Chrissy due to her intelligence, while Lauren tried to convince Ben to stick with the Healers. Chrissy and her allies came up with a `` Plan B '' to vote against Jessica in case of an idol. At Tribal Council, Joe went off on the tribe and openly wore his idol from the Levu camp. Before the votes were read, Joe played the idol for himself, but did n't receive any votes, while Ben and Lauren sided with the Heroes & Hustlers to blindside Jessica. 520 8 `` Playing with the Devil '' Recap 1.7 / 6 November 15, 2017 ( 2017 - 11 - 15 ) 8.85 18 After Jessica 's elimination, the Healers lamented being in the minority, while Lauren found the secret advantage Cole looked for after the merge. She learned that she could vote twice at a Tribal Council of her choice, provided she abstains from voting at the next Tribal Council. Reward Challenge : Randomly divided into two teams of five, castaways must race to the top of a tower. At the top of the tower, they will have to use a slingshot and sandbags to hit five targets. The first team to hit all five targets, indicated by a flag being released, wins a spaghetti dinner on a private island. In addition, the castaway drawing the odd - colored rock will join them. Since Joe drew the white rock, he got to join the winning team of Chrissy, Cole, Devon, JP, and Ryan. Jeff revealed the feast would be served family - style, meaning players will eat one at a time and must leave enough food for the next person with Joe choosing the order. Joe ate last and suggested that Devon ate first, in an attempt to build trust with Devon. While eating, Cole found a clue to the location of a new hidden immunity idol under the plate, and he made sure to cover it up using a nearby cloth. However, Chrissy and Ryan both discovered the clue, and Ryan hid the plate in the bushes after he was finished eating. Back at camp, Ryan took advantage of Cole going off on his own and quickly found the idol before asking Chrissy to cover up his tracks. Cole dashed in to ambush Chrissy before most of the tribe joined them. Ben believed he saw Cole find it and began to target him. Immunity Challenge : Standing on a narrow beam, and using a long pole, castaways must balance a statue. At regular intervals, they will move further away from the statue. If at any point, they fall from the beam or drop their statue, they are out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins immunity and is safe from the vote. Cole outlasted JP to win the challenge, foiling the plans of the majority alliance. Ben suggested splitting the vote between Joe and Desi, who had proven to be a strong competitor. Joe tried to convince Ryan and Devon to blindside Ben, who Joe perceived as the leader of the alliance, but Ben overheard the conversation. Ben confronted Joe, who accused him of swearing on the Marines ; this angered Ben, and the two got into a heated argument. Lauren told Ben of her advantage and how it would prevent them from splitting the votes at that night 's Tribal Council ; Ben then asked Mike to join his alliance in voting out Joe in fear of the vote split causing a scenario where he would be voted out. At Tribal Council, Joe reignited his argument with Ben, who subsequently opened up about his time after the Marines. During the vote, Lauren was able to play her advantage without being caught, Cole and Mike joined in the majority alliance 's split - vote plan, and the votes were tied at 4 apiece between Joe and Desi while Ben and Lauren each received a stray vote. On the revote, Desi received 7 votes to Joe 's 1 and became the first member of the jury. 521 9 `` Fear of the Unknown '' Recap 1.4 / 5 November 22, 2017 ( 2017 - 11 - 22 ) 7.42 15 The morning after Desi 's elimination, Mike pitched an idea to the majority alliance to blindside Cole at the next tribal council. Meanwhile, Lauren told Ben about her successful advantage play, and Ryan told Devon about his immunity idol. Reward Challenge : Randomly divided into two teams of five, three castaways will swim out to a tall ladder, climb it, leap into the water, and retrieve a key on a buoy. Once they have the keys, the next two will unlock a chest containing balls. They will then have to score five baskets to win a feast on a luxury yacht. The team of Chrissy, Cole, Joe, JP, and Mike won the challenge. Joe hoped to use the reward to sway Chrissy and JP to his side, but his efforts were for naught. At camp, Joe capitalised on his tribemates ' perception of him as obnoxious and abrasive and called Ashley a goat in order to make them believe he would never win a jury vote at Final Tribal and thus, not be voted out. Ryan told Ben about his idol, and while Ben was excited about his ally finding it instead of Cole, he also realized it would make Ryan a threat to him in the future. Ben told Devon, who started to lose trust in Ryan because he was n't the only one who knew about Ryan 's idol. Immunity Challenge : Castaways will have to stand up slightly in a squatting position, releasing the safety from their apparatus holding up an urn of water above a fire. Should they stand too high, their urn will extinguish their fire, or if they go too low, will release a flag eliminating them from the challenge. The last castaway standing wins immunity and is safe from the vote. Lauren outlasted Cole to win immunity. Back at camp, Ben wanted to split the vote between Cole and Mike, but Chrissy and Ashley were fed up with Joe. Ben was very adamant about wanting to vote out either Cole or Mike, causing some discourse among the majority. After Chrissy was shut down by Ben about Joe 's status as a threat despite being widely disliked, she discussed deviating from Ben 's plan and voting out Joe with her allies and Mike. Before Tribal Council started, Mike told Joe to follow his lead. Chrissy confronted Joe about insulting her and Ashley before Mike outlined the hypocrisy in her argument, stating that, by keeping Joe in the game, the rest of the castaways were not playing with moral character. Joe accused everyone else of not playing the game at all, and Mike brought up the fact that the majority had 4 Heroes and 3 Hustlers, meaning the Hustlers would be picked off one by one at that point after voting out the rest of the Healers. Ashley countered Mike 's point by outlining that his comment was just as hypocritical as Chrissy 's opening one, that nobody is just a number and that morals and relationships do serve a purpose in the game. Before the votes were read, Mike played his idol for himself, but received only 2 votes. Ultimately, Ben got his way, and everyone else voted Cole out. 522 523 10 11 `` Buy One, Get One Free '' Recap, part 1 Recap, part 2 1.8 / 7 November 29, 2017 ( 2017 - 11 - 29 ) 8.27 18 After the heated Tribal Council, Mike revealed his blowup was a calculated plan to ensure the vote went against him so he would play his idol. Reward Challenge : Using only their feet, castaways must unwind a rope to release blocks that they will use to assemble a three - tiered tower with a flag in the middle. The first castaway to complete their tower will win an aerial tour of the Sacred Islands and a feast of cheeseburgers, fries, and beer. Lauren won the challenge and chose to share the reward with Devon, Ben, and Ashley. At camp, Ryan and Chrissy discussed voting out Ben and Lauren after Joe and Mike. While on reward, Lauren revealed she chose Devon, Ben, and Ashley due to her plans for a 4 - person alliance to shake up the game, and they were in agreement. The castaways on the reward trip received letters from home. The next morning at camp, while reading his letter, Ben stumbled upon a clue to the location of a new hidden immunity idol, which he eventually found. Immunity Challenge : Perched on a roof - shaped structure, castaways will have to balance on narrow beams. After 20 minutes, castaways will move up the structure, standing on a narrow beam. If at any point a castaway touches the structure with any body part other than their feet, or they fall off, they are out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins immunity and is safe from the vote. Before the challenge started, Jeff tempted the castaways with food ; Devon, Ben, and Lauren sat out, and Ashley won immunity. Back at camp, Lauren 's new alliance prepared their revolt, with Devon assigning Ben to be their `` double agent '', voting against Mike, while Lauren and Ashley asked Joe and Mike to join them. At Tribal Council, Lauren 's alliance put their plan in motion, completely blindsiding JP and sending him to the jury. After Tribal Council, a stunned Chrissy and Ryan confronted their former allies about leaving them out of the vote. Ryan tried to make amends with Devon, but he was unable to do so. Reward Challenge : Randomly divided into two teams of four, castaways will swim out to a boat. They will then paddle to shore, collecting 4 bags of logs along the way. Back on shore, they will use the logs to push out puzzle pieces from a chute. The first team to finish their puzzle wins a spa trip with a feast. The team of Ashley, Ben, Devon, and Joe won the challenge. On the reward trip, Ashley considered turning against Ben. Back at camp, Ryan unsuccessfully tried to sway Mike to his side, and Chrissy also failed with Lauren. Immunity Challenge : Using a driving wheel, castaways drive a key hanging on an urn through a series of obstacles. The key will unlock a set of puzzle pieces. Using the driving wheel, they must transport the puzzle pieces to the finish. The first person to solve the word puzzle `` INVULNERABLE '' wins immunity and is safe from the vote. Chrissy won the challenge. At camp, Lauren told her alliance about her second vote, and Devon told Mike and Joe that they would use it to split the votes between Ryan and Ben, when in reality, the alliance would stick together to blindside Joe. In private, Ashley told Lauren and Devon she was having second thoughts about staying loyal to Ben. At Tribal Council, Ben continued his charade of being on the outside, but he warned Joe and Mike that they were on the bottom of the new alliance. Before the vote, Ryan played his idol but received only 2 votes. Ultimately, the alliance of 4 stuck together and sent Joe to the jury. 524 12 `` Not Going to Roll Over and Die '' Recap 1.8 / 7 December 6, 2017 ( 2017 - 12 - 06 ) 8.96 11 After Joe 's elimination, Chrissy angrily confronted Ben about his betrayal, and they got into an argument. When the castaways arrived at the reward challenge, they were reunited with their loved ones : Ashley 's father Jim, Ryan 's father Steve, Mike 's wife Berri, Lauren 's sister Sunny, Chrissy 's husband Keith, Devon 's mother Sonia, and Ben 's wife Kelly. Reward Challenge : The castaways will conduct this challenge with their loved ones. Each person will have a bag with black and white marbles. Both the castaways and their loved ones must draw the same - colored marble to remain in the challenge. The last pair left standing wins a Survivor barbeque and quality time with each other. All except Ben and Chrissy failed to match on the first round. In the second round, Ben failed to match while Chrissy was able to. After winning reward, Chrissy chose Ryan, Mike, and Ashley, as well as their loved ones, to join her and her husband. Chrissy later revealed she chose Ashley because she felt that Ashley would be the easiest to turn against the majority. Ben made a fake idol in hopes that Chrissy would find it, while Lauren found half of a real idol, showing it to Ben and Devon, with the other half hidden at the immunity challenge. Immunity Challenge : The castaways must support two discs, weighted by wind chimes, supported by two posts with only their fingertips. If they drop their discs, they are out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins immunity and is safe from the vote. Devon conceded immunity to Ashley for a massage, stating that they were a tight alliance. Lauren picked up the second half of the idol at the challenge, but was seen by Ben. Ashley continued to talk to Devon and Lauren about blindsiding Ben, but he overheard the conversation. After they agreed on voting out Chrissy, a paranoid Ben realized how much power Lauren had in the game, between her idol and the extra vote. He got Mike and Ryan on board with voting out Lauren and tried to convince Chrissy, but she was still angry with him. She told Mike she wanted Ben out, and Mike told Ashley and Devon that Ben told Chrissy about Lauren 's power. Devon warned Lauren that she was in danger, and Lauren gave the other half of the idol to Mike to show him she trusted him. At Tribal Council, Devon said he stepped down at the immunity challenge to show his trust in his alliance, not including Ben. Ben subsequently confronted his tribemates about potentially voting him out, and he said flat - out that he would vote for Lauren. Lauren revealed she left her extra vote at camp, while Ben revealed his fake idol. Mike then tossed the half of Lauren 's idol that he had into the fire. While the tribe openly quarreled amongst each other, Ryan whispered to Mike that Lauren had to go, but Mike convinced him to vote for Ben. Devon then walked over to Mike and instructed him to vote out Ben, which made Chrissy walk over to Ryan to say she was on board with voting out Lauren. She refused when Mike and Ryan asked her to vote out Ben. In the end, everyone voted for Ben. However, unbeknownst to the others, Ben also had his real idol ; he played it on himself, and for the first time in Survivor history, a unanimous vote was successfully negated. Ben 's sole vote sent Lauren out of the game, much to the shock of the other jury members, except Joe. 525 13 `` The Survivor Devil '' Recap 1.8 / 7 December 13, 2017 ( 2017 - 12 - 13 ) 8.74 TBA After the hectic tribal council, the tribe dynamic was Ben vs. everyone else. Ben woke up early the next morning to search for a new hidden immunity idol, and nobody followed him, as they believed he would n't find it. Reward Challenge : Randomly divided into three pairs, castaways are clipped to a rope and must maneuver together through three obstacles. One they have reached the end of the course, they will unclip themselves and attempt to throw rings onto a target. The first pair to get all five rings on the target wins an overnight stay at a private island with a feast. Devon and Chrissy won the challenge ; Jeff instructed them to take one more person, and Chrissy suggested to Devon that they select Ryan. They did so, much to Ashley 's shock and chagrin. Mike was also frustrated, as he saw himself as a swing vote. Ben tried to talk strategy with Mike and Ashley at camp, but neither of them wanted any part of it. On reward, Chrissy proposed a final 3 deal with Ryan and Devon. She also considered voting out Ashley before Ben, out of fear that she has built better relationships in the game. Immunity Challenge : The castaways must first climb a ladder and go down a cargo net. Then will then have to traverse a series of obstacles, where they will then untie a bag containing sandbags. Using the sandbags, they must get one into a basket, which will release the first ladder on a tower. One the second level, castaways will then use a ball and rope to pull down a second ladder. On the top of the tower, castaways then have to solve a cog puzzle. The first person to finish the puzzle and hoist their flag wins immunity and is safe from the vote. Chrissy won immunity. Ben continued his search for an idol, while Ashley suggested splitting the vote between Ben and Mike. Chrissy began campaigning for Ashley 's elimination, but Mike desperately wanted Ben out, while Devon was reluctant to turn against Ashley. Ben eventually found a clue saying the idol was hidden under the shelter. At Tribal Council, final 3 discussions and potential plans were brought up. Devon continued campaigning against Ben, who subsequently revealed he did find the idol. He convinced Ashley to vote for Mike, and when Devon said he would n't believe Ben would play the idol, Ben presented the idol to Jeff to play on himself before the votes were to be cast. Ashley did vote for Mike, but everyone else, including Devon, blindsided Ashley, sending her to the jury. 526 14 `` Million Dollar Night '' TBA TBA December 20, 2017 ( 2017 - 12 - 20 ) TBD TBA 527 15 `` Reunion '' TBA TBA December 20, 2017 ( 2017 - 12 - 20 ) TBD TBA Voting history Original tribes Switched tribes Merged tribe Episode # 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Day # 6 8 11 14 16 19 21 24 27 30 33 36 Eliminated Katrina Simone Patrick Alan Roark Ali Jessica Tie Desi Cole JP Joe Lauren Ashley Votes 5 -- 1 5 -- 1 4 -- 1 2 -- 0 3 -- 2 3 -- 1 7 -- 5 4 -- 4 -- 1 -- 1 7 -- 1 7 -- 1 -- 0 5 -- 3 -- 1 4 -- 2 -- 0 1 -- 0 5 -- 1 Voter Vote Ben Katrina Jessica Desi Desi Cole Mike Joe Lauren Ashley Chrissy Katrina Roark Ali Jessica Joe Desi Mike Joe Ashley Ben Ashley Devon Simone Patrick None Jessica Desi Desi Cole JP Joe Ben Ashley Mike Chrissy Joe Joe Cole JP Ryan Ben Ashley Ryan Simone Patrick Roark Ali Jessica Desi Desi Cole Mike Ashley Ben Ashley Ashley Katrina Joe Jessica Joe Desi Cole JP Joe Ben Mike Lauren Simone Patrick Jessica None Cole JP Joe Ben Joe Alan Chrissy Ben None Cole JP Ryan JP Katrina Roark Ali Jessica Desi Desi Mike Mike Cole Chrissy Joe Desi Ben Desi Alan Chrissy Lauren None Jessica Chrissy Ali Simone Patrick Chrissy JP Roark Chrissy Alan Katrina Joe Patrick Simone Lauren Simone Patrick Katrina Ashley Jury vote Episode # 14 Day # 39 Finalist TBD TBD TBD Votes TBD Juror Vote TBD TBD Ashley Lauren Joe JP Cole Desi Jump up ^ The vote resulted in a tie.

Reception The September 27 premiere episode, titled `` I 'm Not Crazy, I 'm Confident '' saw a significant boost in viewership over March 's Survivor : Game Changers with 8.33 million people tuning in, compared to the show 's all - time low of 7.64 earlier in the year. However, the premiere of the show 's 35th season was unable to match Survivor : Millenials vs. Gen X 's premiere viewership from fall 2016. That said, the series once again ranked first in it 's time - slot ( by a significant margin ) and once again tied with ABC 's The Goldbergs for the critical 18 - 49 demographic, with both placing behind Fox 's Empire. Survivor again edged out favourites Empire, Modern Family and Criminal Minds to rank second overall for the evening behind SEAL Team which also debuted on CBS in the hour proceeding.
