Back With My OG's

is the sixth episode of Survivor: Atlas Mountains.
==Story==
==Day Fifteen==
===Toubkal===
Following tribal, #CoolKidsClub gets together and celebrates the previous night’s success.
*Billy: You guys are amazing, we just flushed a dang idol omgghos[ga
*Jermu: I was so scared for a second. When he played that idol on himself and they were both so happy about it my reaction was this: :O
*Billy: Honestly, I can't believe we pulled that off earlier. Like, we got Dim to flush an idol and everything.
*Jermu: Yeah, that was awesome.
They all agree that Dim is definitely gone if they go to tribal again. Meanwhile, Dim sits by the campfire alone. He throws pebbles into the fire pit angrily.
==Day Sixteen==
===Amizmiz===
The same problem from earlier befalls the Amizmiz tribe once more: boredom. The castaways begin to get stir crazy, wanting something to happen but not wanting to risk tribal council either. Killer begins to wonder if throwing challenges would be a good idea at this point.
Ryo takes a different approach, opting to keep things exciting and to sway JoeyK in his favor by spreading rumors and leaking allegiances.
With the mood still tense, but no tribal council to break it, the Amizmiz tribe sits in stressed silence for most of the day.
===Maghreb===
That afternoon, Blue and Mitch sit by the fire and talk about nothing in particular. Gabe swings by and asks if either of them had seen Bocetuda at all. Both look at each other, then realize that none of them had seen Bocetuda since they went to sleep last night. Gabe sets up a plan for them to split up and search the nearby mountain range to make sure he wasn’t missing or injured somewhere.
They split off and soon Gabe locates Bocetuda, his stuff bunched up in a small bag slung over his shoulder, walking down the mountainside. Gabe calls out to him and gets him back to the campsite. When asked what they were doing, Bocetuda says he was leaving as he doesn’t want to play the game anymore. Mitch relays this information to production, who get Nifty to the Maghreb camp to talk with Bocetuda.
*Bocetuda: Nifty i hate to say this but i have to quit the competition, I ain’t having as much time as before. so i just wanted to say thank you for everything.
*Nifty: So you’re dropping from the game entirely? If you’re quitting, then I will respect your decision.
*Bocetuda: Thank you it was so enjoying playing this season!
Nifty escorts Bocetuda away from camp and has production send out treemail to all three camps regarding the situation. The players at the other camps read the note outloud to their tribes.
*Zoe: One of our players, Bocetuda, has decided to willingly exit from the competition. So, in simple terms: Bocetuda has quit the game.
*Brady: This quit has put a bit of a hole in my plans for this season as a whole. It causes some complications that are too sudden for my liking, so my initial plans for this round of the game will be skipped over.
*Mitch: So, congrats everyone for making it to the final twelve. This game will continue as normal tomorrow.
Tribal Council 6:Maghreb	Tribal Council 6:Maghreb
QUIT:Bocetuda 	QUIT:Bocetuda
Everyone, from every tribe of the game, has mixed reactions to the quit and what it means for them in the game moving forward.
==Day Seventeen==
===Swap===
The tribes all gather in the challenge area, anticipating something to happen now that the quit had supposedly shook up the season’s plans.
*Nifty: Brady and Gabe, I’ll take those immunity idols back from you now.
Brady and Gabe both walk up with their tribal immunity statues. Nifty takes them and places them on a nearby stand.
*Nifty: Immunity is back up for grabs. Is everyone ready for today’s challenge?
A few people look disappointed, while others instinctively reply with nods and enthusiastic ‘yea!’s.
*Nifty: Well, don’t get too antsy about a challenge, because you’re not competing in one today. Everybody, drop your buffs. We’re swapping tribes again.
A few look nervous, others excited, and a handful disappointed that it’s another swap instead of a merge.
*Nifty: Yes, yes, I know you’re all excited and yearning for the merge, but in my opinion you haven’t earned it yet. There’s still some mountain left to climb before you can all be a single tribe. This swap will be simple: The Maghreb Tribe will be no more due to the curse inflicting it for the past two weeks. Therefore, you will all be swapping into two new tribes of six. Drop your buffs, and come pick out a new one.
Everyone does so, and the new tribe divisions are revealed.
On Amizmiz 3.0 are Blue, Brady, Dim, FatFam, Gabe, and Jermu.
Meaning that on Toubkal 3.0 are Billy, JoeyK, Killer, Mitch, Ryo, and Zoe.
*Nifty: Head back to your campsites and get to know your new tribe for a bit, and get ready for a brawl in a few days as you’ll be fighting for immunity then.
The tribes split off, a few already beginning to talk and greet each other as they walk towards their camps.
===Amizmiz===
The tribe all greet each other once they get to camp, but after that there is a very clear divide as Jerrmu gets the other two OG Amizmiz together for a talk on the other side of camp.
*Jermu: I have some spicy tea about our last tribal. Me and Billy voted together as we are both from same original tribe. Miko tells me to vote Zoe with Billy and when I told her that, she said Miko was saying to vote Billy out. So she worked with us as Miko was saying her name, and the tribal was lowkey crazy. Dim pull his idol out. I'm scared shitless that he plays it on Miko and either me or Billy go home.
*Brady: Damn
*Jermu: But then he plays it on himself. He and Miko are already celebrating Until first vote read is for Miko.
*Brady: LMAO
*Jermu: So one idol has been played, and he found it in Hiker's Trail
*FatFam: The thing is we don't know how many are on the hikers trail
*Jermu: Yea but that's just so we know he doesn't have an idol
Despite the clear tribal division, Dim doesn’t hesitate to see this as an opportunity as he tries to talk to Gabe and Blue at camp. He also meets up with FatFam once he returns from the Amizmiz meeting.
===Toubkal===
Toubkal is more interactive and friendly with one another as they get back to camp.
*Billy: Welp, hey
*Ryo: Heya!
*Killer: Hello. This is the third tribe i’ve been through
*Mitch: Yeah, I’ve been on all three now
*Killer: We’ve been to the cursed tribe, the good tribe and now the middle tribe
*Billy: Dang, that’s crazy.
*Killer: It is. It reminds me of Survivor Gabon
*Billy: The cursed tribe is gone now though, we’ve got this guys
*Zoe: Hey Killer
*Killer: Remember me?
*Zoe: Yeah totally
*Killer: “Totally”
*Zoe: ???
*Killer: !!!
*Billy: @@@
*Ryo: &&&
After a bit of fun antics and greetings, the game gets back into motion...but it begins going at a pace faster than most anticipated. It starts with Killer panicking about his positioning on a new tribe, so he quickly meets with everyone individually and asks each member of his tribe for an alliance.
Billy picks up on Killer’s erratic strategy and decides to ground the information and officially reunite with The Actives.
*Billy: Ah yeah, the original trio, back together
*Mitch: Heyyy! I’m glad us three are back together
*JoeyK: We can’t trust Killer at all!!! He tried to turn everyone against each other
*Mitch: He is trying to do that now!
*Billy: He's been DMing everyone
*JoeyK: He’s the first target no doubt I’m 100% with u three no one else
*Billy: How was your time on the other Tribe? Anything important come up? There anyone from that Tribe you trust? I'm just thinking, if we make merge, we need numbers.
*JoeyK: Brady and killer are plotting together, they were running the show. Killer and Brady turned people against each other and ryo was in the middle
*Billy: I'm gonna say this - Since it'll become public knowledge eventually. Dim had an idol. He played it on himself last Tribal, when we voted Miko out, so that's an idol flushed.
*JoeyK: That’s good idk who else has one I think Brady does
*Billy: If he's been on the Hiker's Trail, there's a good chance he's got something to show for it. But tbh, none of us trusted Brady in the first place from what I recall. He was super sketchy.
After that, Mitch suggests that they split off so the others don’t get too suspicious of them talking together. The other two agree and they begin walking separate ways, but Billy pulls aside Mitch and tells him about JoeyK being on the hiker’s trail early on and hiding that from them. Mitch says he already knew about that after hearing about it from Gabe, but they need to keep him around for now to maintain a majority on the tribe.
They agree that an alliance involving them, Zoe, and Gabe would probably work out well in the long run. Billy then says he wants to go chat with Ryo, and the two split up for the time. Billy finds and chats with Ryo, both to see where his head is at and to tell him about all that went down at the previous tribal council.
Meanwhile, Killer keeps talking and Zoe lies to him about the idol play, making him more wary and paranoid than he was before. This also gives him an idea regarding the upcoming challenge.
The pace of the game picks up even more, and for Mitch, it seems as though everyone wants to talk with and make alliances with him. After a while when things settle, Mitch sits down and recaps everything that happened at the new Toubkal tribe that day.
==Day Eighteen==
===Amizmiz===
Dim manages to talk with Gabe and Blue and gets an alliance established between them. Now all he needs is one more person from the Amizmiz side to flip over, and he’ll have control over the tribe.
Meanwhile, Blue has fun in the new alliance chat and shares some new emojis he’s made with Dim and Gabe.
The alliance agrees to target Jermu, mostly due to Dim seeking revenge for taking out his closest ally last tribal. Dim keeps talking and eventually gets to FatFam. He takes up the alliance offer, but still intends to stay loyal to the OG Amizmiz. Things look like they’ll remain this way until they go to tribal, but Blue has other thoughts and plans.
Blue goes to Jermu and Brady, leaking the four-person alliance to them not too long after it was established. They both bring this to each other and FatFam when the OG Amizmiz meet together that day.
*Jermu: Blue says that Dim is targeting me and wants to vote dim alone
*Brady: inetrestin blue told me dim is agfter me
*Jermu: Gurl he lying
*Brady: LMAO THESE GUYS GOT CAUGHT
*Jermu: What a bitch. We ain’t voting Dim, bitch bye. FatFam, Blue is saying you are allied with Dim.
*FatFam: Im in the chat
*Brady: so u are against us?
*FatFam: I have no desire to work with them
*Brady: LMAO LEGEND
*FatFam: But yah dim has thrown your name out jermu
*Jermu: I see why
*FatFam: And pie threw your name out brady
*Brady: WTF WHY ME THIS MOTHER FUNKIUNG wait can i expose blue like high key i wanna expose his ass
*Jermu: This is obviously them 3 trying to play us but they cannot even play
*Brady: he just made a new alliance with me and jeremu
*FatFam: do you want me to join or nah
*Brady: nonono im getting him to send a screenshot for an extra vote against him bc he think im dumb
*Jermu: You bitch is baiting! Yeees
*FatFam: if he does that he is fucking stupid
Meanwhile, in the new alliance chat, Brady is egging Blue on by saying he doesn’t believe Blue’s claims, and that Blue should show proof otherwise they’ll never work with him. Jermu joins in with this, and after enough prodding it aggravates Blue to the point of sending a screenshot of the other alliance discussing the plans to vote out Jermu. Nifty comes in and quickly deletes the screenshot, then issues a strike on Blue for breaking the rules. Jermu and Brady high-five each other as Blue is scolded and told that if he gets one more strike, he will be removed from the game for being unable to follow the rules.
*Brady: HE DOD IOT AJWIDWJADADW OMG
*FatFam: WELP
*Jermu: Work your fucking pussy up like no tomorrow? He is fucking dumb
*Brady: LMAO HE HAS A VOTE AGAINST HIM
*FatFam: get him to send more
Nifty reviews the context and sees Brady and Jermu trying to get Blue to send another screenshot. Nifty goes to the two of them and warns them both to stop this strategy, as it is a dirty tactic to try and eliminate someone from the game by getting them to break the rules and strike themselves out. Brady and Jermu understand, but still celebrate with FatFam over their achievement. They also agree that they should get the target on Blue and vote him out instead of Dim if they go to tribal council.
===Toubkal===
Mitch talks a bit more with JoeyK about what he mentioned in the alliance chat yesterday, and he sits down to ponder the information further. After a bit, he pitches an idea to Billy.
Billy agrees with the plan, and Mitch says they’ll probably need one more person to help them out, one that isn’t JoeyK as Mitch pitched it to him already and he was heavily against the idea. Billy suggests Zoey, and Mitch agrees to it. They meet together and discuss the plan.
*Mitch: Hey guys, I requested this so we can talk about the challenge. Like you both know, I think we should throw it.
*Billy: Do we want to throw the challenge in the event of a reward? As in, if it’s just a reward.
*Mitch: Not in the event of a reward, but we should definitely consider throwing immunity
*Billy: I'm down to do that, you both know that.
Zoe nods her head in agreement, and the plan is solidified.
==Day Nineteen==
===Immunity Challenge===
*Nifty: Come on in, guys!
The two new tribes walk into the challenge sit, where they are greeted with a little boxing arena. Some concerned glances are had as everyone takes their spot on the mats.
*Nifty: I told you that you’d be fighting for immunity, so today’s challenge is Fight Night. It will be a bit to explain, but is simple in concept. In this challenge, you will be matched-up against someone from the other tribe. Each person starts out with zero points and gains or loses points depending on their actions each round. You will submit one of three actions for ten separate rounds. These actions are Attack, Block, or Do Nothing.Here are the point values for every possible combination of actions.
Nifty shows a board to his side with listed actions and their point correlations.
Attack-Attack: -1 point each
Attack-Block: -1 point attack, +1 point block
Attack-Do Nothing: -2 points do nothing
Block-Do Nothing: +2 points do nothing
Block-Block: 0 points each
Do Nothing-Do Nothing: 0 points each
*Nifty: Whoever has the most points at the end of the 10 rounds will win that individual match for their tribe. The tribe with the most total matches won will win immunity and be safe from tribal council. If there is a tie, we will go into a tiebreaker match where I’ll randomize who’ll compete from each tribe. I’ll give you some time to strategize with your tribemates before we start brawling.
The tribes get together and strategize this. Toubkal specifically comes up with a group plan, but as they step back to their mat, Billy keeps Mitch and Zoe back for a moment and whispers to them.
*Billy: Alright, I'd say the best option here is to just do the same action throughout the match. We want to throw, so by doing the same thing, there's more chance of us getting low points.
*Mitch: I say we just do 'do nothing' for all of it.
*Billy: I'm down to do that.
They rejoin their group, and as they do, the first match is announced: Blue versus Billy. They decide their actions, then commit. Blue aggressively jabs at Billy every time as Billy just stands there and takes the beating. In the end, Blue wins out over Billy in points.
The next match is Brady and JoeyK, but as they step up Brady immediately forfeits, saying he doesn’t want to get beat up on national TV. Brady’s score is forfeit and he gets a strike for not participating in a mandatory challenge, meaning that JoeyK gets the point. One point for Amizmiz, one for Toubkal.
Match three is Dim against Killer. Killer, wanting to throw himself, chooses to attack every time as it has the highest probability of losing points no matter what your opponent does. Dim has a more versatile strategy, and in the end Dim takes the round for Amizmiz.
For the fourth match, FatFam goes up against Mitch. Immediately FatFam blocks and prepares for an incoming attack, but Mitch simply does nothing. Mitch quickly realizes this means he’s gaining points and winning the match, so he tries subtly urging FatFam to stop blocking and attack him. FatFam refuses, thinking it’s a trap to make him drop his guard before laying a smackdown. In the end, FatFam’s cowardice causes Mitch to gain points each time, meaning he accidentally wins the point for Toubkal. The tribes are tied, 2-2.
The fifth match is Gabe versus Ryo. Gabe decides to follow FatFam’s strategy, believing that Ryo wouldn’t stand still the whole time like Mitch had. Gabe is right as Ryo goes for a variety of actions. In the end, Gabe’s solid stance earns him more points than Ryo’s tactics. Amizmiz leads, 3-2.
The final match is Jermu up against Zoe. Billy and Mitch look and each other and smile, believing that their plan to throw would go through successfully with Zoe being in on the plan. However, both are dumbfounded when Zoe leads off with a block against Jermu’s block, then tries to attack him right after. Jermu follows after FatFam and Gabe, holding a steady defense, while Zoe does a plethora of actions. Billy and Mitch watch on anxiously until the round is declared over.
*Nifty: The results of that match...ended with a win for Amizmiz! Meaning that Amizmiz wins immunity with an overall scoring of 4-2 against Toubkal.
Amizmiz cheers and takes immunity as Billy and Mitch sigh in relief, but quickly turn that relief into feigned disappointment so as not to draw suspicion from their tribemates.
*Nifty: Amizmiz, take the night off--you earned it. Toubkal, however, you all have tribal council with me tonight where one of you will become the seventh person to leave Survivor: The Atlas Mountains. Head on back to camp, I’ll see you all later.
The tribes then split off and go back to their respective camps.
===Toubkal===
As everyone returns to camp, Billy pulls aside Zoe to talk about the challenge.
*Billy: Zoe, I don't mean to be that guy, but I just noticed you didn't seem to be throwing the challenge from your actions. I thought we'd decided to do "Do Nothing" for the whole time so…
*Zoe: Oh yeah. I was on my period so I just thought ‘Attack! Attack! Attack!’
Billy gives her an odd look for a few moments before telling her to just vote for Killer at tribal and to communicate with him better when it comes to challenge-related stuff.
Ryo and Killer get together, and the two of them agree that they seem to be in the minority on this tribe. Ryo comes up with a plan for them to try and get them to turn on one another through paranoia. Killer agrees, then says the real target should be Mitch. The two get to work and meet with Billy, Mitch, and JoeyK separately to spread paranoia amidst the trio. However, the doubt seems to be quickly quelled when The Actives meet together before tribal.
*Billy: Killer just messaged me. Said vote for Mitch because you want me out.
*JoeyK: Well I’m told Mitch messaged ryo and Killer to vote me
*Billy: Was this by Killer? Like did Killer tell you that Mitch said that?
*JoeyK: No ryo
*Billy: I think they're both bullshitting...actually, yep, Ryo recently told me about the Mitch thing. Mitch, they’re slandering your good name.
*Mitch: Why are they putting my name out there? They told me they want Billy or Zoe lol
*Billy: It's because you apparently came to them, that's the lie they're going with.
*Mitch: I came to them? No I didn’t
*Billy: I mean, clearly I believe you - Mainly because all of us seemed to throw the challenge when they didn't. They didn't want a Tribal
They all reassure one another that they are a tight group. Nonetheless, the trio heads into tribal with some nerves and present tension between them. Killer and Ryo notice this as they head off for tribal, and smirk to themselves as they pick up their torches and walk away from camp.
==Tribal Council==
The tribes enter tribal council with their torches and set their stuff down, except for JoeyK and Ryo who stand with their unlit torches.
*Nifty: Joey, Ryo, dip your torches into the fire pit. As you know, in this game, fire represents life. Once your flame is gone, so are you.
JoeyK and Ryo do so. They place their torches behind them as they go back to sit.
*Nifty: Well, let’s get the obvious out of the way. Welcome to your very first tribal council, Joey. How’re you feeling being here for the very first time this season?
*JoeyK: I’m nervous so many names are being tossed around
*Nifty: Ryo, this is your first tribal council as well. On top of this, you’re the only original Toubkal member on this tribe. Do you think tribal lines will make a difference in how people will vote, or do you think with all these swaps that tribal lines have been obscured?
*Ryo: Ah, I don't know. I definitely think that tribe lines are starting to obscure a little bit, but this game is so unpredictable that I think everyone has the right to be nervous.
*Nifty: Killer, do you think that challenge performance could be a reason that someone gets voted out tonight, or do you think that reasoning has been thrown out the window at this point?
*Killer: I think that it will be alliance's games for the reason why people will vote for someone
*Nifty: Billy. Eighteen days in, twelve people remaining, and you guys still aren’t merged yet. When do you think the merge will happen, and does that speculation factor into your decision of who to vote off tonight?
*Billy: With Merge potentially being a vote away or two votes away, the whole thought of who leaves the game is difficult to gauge. I think that for a lot of people here, this vote is pivotal and any vote at Tribal is important to the game. But for tonight, it's simply a case of who can you trust. It could be me, could be anyone else, who knows who's going tonight.
*Nifty: With that, I’d say it’s time to find out. Zoe, you’re up to vote first.
Everyone goes up and votes, though none of them except Mitch’s vote for Killer is shown. Notably, JoeyK is seen hesitating and looking back at the group nervously as he writes his vote down.
Once everyone is seated, Nifty gets up, goes over to the urn, and comes back to the podium with it.
*Nifty: If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and you would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.
JoeyK looks around with uncertainty before standing up and handing Nifty an idol. Billy audibly gasps.
*JoeyK: I’m using this on myself. Might of flushed it, rather be safe than sorry.
*Zoe: Joey, you were safe in everyone’s eyes.
JoeyK sits backs down as Nifty looks it over.
*Nifty: This...is a hidden immunity idol. All votes casted for JoeyK will not count. I’ll read the votes.
First vote…Killer.
Second vote...Mitch.
*Zoe: Oh god.
Third vote...Mitch.
*Zoe: Oh no, Mitch.
Fourth vote...Killer. That’s two votes Killer, two votes Mitch. Two votes left.
*Billy: If it ties, oh god.
*Ryo: Jesus
Fifth vote...Killer. Three votes Killer, two votes Mitch. One. Vote. Left.
*JoeyK: I feel a tie coming
Sixth and final vote...
*Billy: Here we go.
Seventh person voted out of Survivor: Atlas Mountains…
Zoe crosses her fingers.
...Killer.
*Billy: Oh my god, yes
*Zoe: Goodbye to the snake in short grass!
*Ryo: Whoaaaa
*Billy: GG Killer, sorry it came to this
Killer doesn’t say much in response as he walks up with his torch.
*Nifty: Killer, the tribe has spoken.
He snuffs Killer’s torch.
*Nifty: Time for you to go.
Killer waves goodbye to everyone quickly before walking down the path away from tribal council.
*Nifty: Well guys, this vote seemed like it might’ve been tense for some of you, but most of you managed to come to a majority. Will this stay forever, though? We’ll find out in due time, I guess. Head on back to camp. G’night.

==Trivia==
*Dim and Mitch had the most confessionals this episode with 4 each.
