Betting On Who Will Succeed

**Betting On Who Will Succeed** is the fifth episode of *Survivor: Game Changers*.

## Summary

### Davui

Franklin, Indiana, Pamela, Presley and Zander arrive back at camp as Pamela says she knew she couldn't trust Presley. Presley says that he had to make a decision that was best for his game. Pamela calls Presley a sneaky rat since he was the one to bring up the idea to work together, however, he has done nothing but vote for former winners. She adds that he has made a big mistake by coming for her because she'll now come for him as well. Presley says that he's not afraid of her, and that people won't vote off their biggest challenge asset over someone who won this game three times. Pamela shrugs, telling him that they'll see what happens eventually.

It's a rainy morning as day eleven hits. While Pamela, Indiana and Presley are doing their own thing, Zander takes this opportunity to talk with Franklin. He asks him why he decided to flip towards the two girls. Franklin says that he followed his gut feeling. He didn't like the way Angelina was playing this game. Zander tells Franklin that he has put them two in a pretty tough spot now because if they voted for Pamela in the first place, they could've voted for Indiana next. Now they're forced to choose between Pamela or Presley. Franklin says he understands that but he doesn't like it that he and Angelina decided to turn on him. Zander apologizes for that and suggests to make a new start. Franklin frowns and says he's fine with that.

Pamela is braiding Indiana's hair at the beach as Indiana tells Pamela she wouldn't be surprised if she's going home next. Pamela thanks Indiana for believing in her, on a sarcastic note. She then tells Indiana that she's convinced they'll be good for this upcoming vote, she just needs to plant some seeds here and there to turn the vote on Presley. Indiana says that Presley is by far their strongest tribemember, it'll be hard to convince Franklin to vote him. Pamela says she'll find a way to make him vote Presley.

Franklin is getting some water as Presley approaches him, asking him if he'd be okay to talk some game. Franklin tells Presley that he knows what he's going to talk about and he just needs some time for himself. Presley says he respects Franklin for his honesty and he admires him a lot. If they lose the next challenge, he'd love to work together and make it to the new swap or merge together. Franklin appreciates it that Presley told him that and he'll definitely consider that. He just hopes they'll win the next challenge. Presley then leaves as he looks like he just accomplished his mission.

### Moica

The six members of Moica are sitting at campfire as Amy's sharing a story about her mother and how she started her singing career. Jia Li and Neil are listening carefully to her, same for Bonita and Blaine, while Andrew starts to frown a bit. Amy then sings one of her songs, causing the players to applaud for her. Blaine looks at Andrew and notices that he's visibly annoyed with Amy, causing Blaine to raise an eyebrow. As Amy continues to sing and talk, Andrew says he gets some water, looking extremely annoyed.

Jia Li and Neil are taking their daily walk which has been their tradition since playing *Solomon Islands* together. Neil shares with Jia Li that he thinks they're in a good position now that they're aligned with both Amy and Bonita. Jia Li says that she's gotten bad vibes from both Blaine and Andrew. Neil agrees, that's also the reason why he started to play more harder now. He suggests to chat with both Amy and Bonita later on to make sure they're all on the same page and work out a plan to vote someone out. Jia Li likes that idea.

Blaine has taken Andrew aside to talk, asking him if he has something against Amy. Andrew tells Blaine that he knows Amy pretty well and he feels like she's ditching him and using her history to get the new players to like her. Blaine tells Andrew that he can't just say that because Amy's history is a very touching story. Andrew shrugs and says he might be wrong and apologizes if he is. Blaine suggests Andrew to play less emotionally because otherwise, they might get into trouble. Andrew agrees.

Amy and Bonita are laying in the shelter, talking about some non-game related stuff as Bonita says that she has always admired Amy. She remembers watching Amy's season and following her singing career and feels honored to be playing with her. Amy thanks her for saying so and would love to work with her in this game. Bonita then asks Amy who she would vote out if she had to choose someone. Amy decides to be honest and says that she was originally going to vote for her but now that they had this conversation, she's not so sure anymore. Bonita respects Amy's honesty.

### Navua

Chase, Oakley and Rachel are sitting at camp as Chase and Oakley are talking about the moves they made in their original seasons. Chase keeps bragging about his season while Oakley tries to overshadow him, while compared to Chase he didn't make much moves. Rachel stares at the two and just listens to them trying to compare themselves to old school legacy players. Rachel tries her best not to laugh and instead decides to lay in the shelter while the two continue to talk.

Helena and Gina are catching some fish as Gina has catched one, looking at it. She shows it at Helena, asking her who it reminds her of. Helena puts on a smile, answering Kristian. Gina notices that Helena isn't in a good mood and asks her about it. Helena tells Gina that now Kristian's out of the game, her motivation has died down a bit. Gina tells Helena that she has the opportunity to get really far now. Her mission is accomplished so she got nothing to lose anymore. Helena says that's true, but it's hard to find the energy and motivation. Gina tells Helena that there are people in this game who deserve to get booted as much as Kristian, for example Chase, so she suggests to keep fighting.

In the shelter, Oakley joins Rachel as Chase has taken a walk. Rachel asks Oakley what he actually thinks of Chase, if he's being hundred percent honest. Oakley says that Chase is a great shield for their game and they could definitely use him. Rachel says that makes sense, however, she isn't a big fan of him. Helena then joins the two in the shelter, asking them if they're still looking forward to work with her. Both Oakley and Rachel say they are. While Rachel decides to catch up with Helena, Oakley lays down and stares at Helena.

Gina is preparing herself for the challenge as Chase approaches her, asking if they could have a small conversation. Gina grins and asks him what kind of tricks he's up to this time. Chase tells Gina that they're obviously the most skilled players on this tribe. It'd be a shame if one of them went home next, so he's willing to work together if she does so as well. Gina grins and tells him that working together would mean they'd vote Helena off next and that's not going to happen. Chase understands that and says they can work something out together. Gina says she'll think about it.

### Challenge

***MOICA***

***NAVUA***

***DAVUI***

The Moica and Navua tribes arrive at the challenge as Jeff welcomes them. Following a few minutes later are the Davui tribe. Jeff announces that Angelina was voted out at the last tribal council. Chase and Gina look surprised while Bonita looks kind of disappointed, looking at the Davui tribe, at Franklin especially.

Jeff then announces that today, only one tribe will win immunity. Two tribes will go to tribal council, which means two people will be voted out tonight. The news of the double tribal council causes people to share confused and excited looks with each other. While most players look a bit shocked, Chase seems to be in a good mood.

Jeff then proceeds onto explaining the challenge. Today they'll be playing **Chest Run**. Both tribes are carrying a chest full of puzzle pieces. Three players will carry the chest through a maze full of obstacles. At the end, the other two players will grab the puzzle pieces out of the chest and finish the puzzle. The first tribe accomplishing this will win immunity while the other two tribes will head towards tribal council.

While the Navua and Davui tribes are discussing strategy, the Moica tribe has to name a sit out. Jia Li says she'd like to play after sitting out already. Andrew volunteers to sit out, however, Bonita thinks they could use men power this challenge. Amy says she's not good at puzzles either so she could sit out if they're fine with that. Bonita says that's fine, looking at Andrew as she notices he's getting slightly pissed.

Survivors ready?

GO!

Andrew, Blaine and Neil run for Moica, Chase, Helena and Rachel run for Navua, Presley, Franklin and Zander run for Davui. Presley is much faster than Zander and Franklin and suggest them to run faster as Franklin begs Presley to slow it down because he can't keep up. Neil has the same issue as he's much faster than Andrew and Blaine, being slowed down as well. Chase, Helena and Rachel manage to keep a fine tempo as they know how to work together. Helena takes the lead and starts to feel comfortable in the game again.

Chase, Helena and Rachel arrive at the end as they hand over the box to Gina and Oakley, who start the puzzle. They're followed by the Davui trio as Pamela and Indiana take over the puzzle pieces. Just as Indiana places the first piece, Gina and Oakley finish their puzzle, which means Navua wins immunity! The group looks extremely excited. Jeff then asks one player from the Davui and Moica tribe to draw a rock to determine which tribe will go to tribal first. Presley and Neil do so, as Presley draws the purple rock. Davui will go to tribal council first, followed by Moica.

### Bazaar of Fortune

The final sixteen players arrive at the Bazaar of Fortune and get to visit the Bazaar one by one again. What the players don't know is that there are only one Rubber Orb, one Luteus Orb and one Viridis Orb obtainable. Because the Navua tribe won, they will go first, followed by the Moica tribe and then Davui. By a random draw, Chase goes first.

The orbs are much more difficult to find this time. The rubber orb is easiest to find, which is why Chase has found it immediately. It takes people a while until Amy is the one who finds the Viridis Orb, looking relieved to have gotten in back after it being stolen from her. Finally, ironically as Blaine is the last member of his tribe, he is the one who finds the Luteus Orb.

### Jumble Sale of Avarice

While fourteen players got to visit the Bazaar, two of them went to the Jumble Sale. Helena didn't have to think through her decision of not wanting to steal anything, while Franklin was thinking about it. He feels like it would make sense for him to steal something because if he chooses to side with Presley, he has Indiana as a enemy and if he sides with Pamela then he has Zander as a enemy. He doesn't want to get any punishments so he decides not to steal.

### Moica

The six Moica tribe members arrive back at camp as they briefly talk about their challenge loss. Since it seems like everyone heads to do their own thing, Jia Li and Neil leave camp. Blaine decides to bring Andrew, Bonita and Amy together to discuss the vote. Blaine thinks it'd be a smart decision to go for either Neil or Jia Li, to prevent them and Zander to become too much of a strong trio. Bonita says that they won't work with Zander, though, but she sees his point. Amy then says she finds it hard to vote for them because they've been very supportive and friendly. Andrew tells Amy that everyone on this tribe has been sweet and nice but they need to make a decision that's best for their game. Bonita tries to hide her smile while Blaine tries to keep Andrew and Amy united, telling them that they got enough time to discuss the vote.

Jia Li and Neil are chatting in the woods as Bonita hits them up. She tells them that Andrew and Blaine tried to convince her and Amy to vote for either Jia Li or Neil but they ignored it. Neil appreciates it, so does Jia Li. Bonita suggests to vote for Andrew tonight, that'll make the most sense. Jia Li says she's fine with it but she'd love to have a conversation with him first. Bonita asks her why she'd do that, with Jia Li responding that Bonita could've made this all up and she rather checks it out first. Bonita raises an eyebrow and makes up to Jia Li that she has put her game on risk to save her and Neil. Neil tells Jia Li that Bonita's right. Jia Li shrugs, not really buying it.

Blaine and Andrew are sitting in the shelter as Blaine tells Andrew that he might have just made a big mistake. Andrew shrugs and tells Blaine that he doesn't like people who play too naive. Blaine says that Amy just values people who are friendly and nice and that he has to respect everyone and their own gameplay. Andrew says he only respects him right now because he actually takes the time to talk to him. Jia Li then arrives and asks if she could speak to Andrew. Blaine leaves the two alone as Jia Li asks Andrew why he wants her out so much. Andrew asks her who she got that from, having Jia Li telling him that she won't name names. Andrew tells Jia Li he didn't want to vote her out, but he has no option since he's already aligned with his Moica buddies and Bonita. Jia Li raises her eyebrows, thanking Andrew for telling her.

Amy, Neil and Bonita sit in the woods, talking about the vote as Amy has no idea what to do anymore. Bonita thinks that voting Andrew would make the most sense. Neil says he likes that idea and appreciates Bonita helping them out. Bonita tries to hide her smile while Amy looks conflicted because she genuinely liked Andrew but he's been acting extremely weird this last round. Bonita says that people change in this game, unfortunately. Amy doesn't respond to this and instead looks a bit zoned out while Neil looks at Bonita, nodding at her. Neil then looks for Jia Li as the two compare notes.

### Davui

The situation is very awkward at Davui as the five players of the tribe all sit at camp, staring at each other. Franklin feels uncomfortable and decides to take a walk, as both Presley and Pamela stand up to talk to him. Pamela tells Presley that he has pushed Franklin too much already so he should let him do his thing. Presley tells Pamela to stop the gaslighting and instead take a damn seat for once instead of running her mouth all the time. He decides to follow Franklin into the woods as tells him that voting him out will make them lose the challenges. If it wasn't for him, they wouldn't even have reached the puzzle phase today. Franklin tells Presley that he's absolutely right on that and will think about it. Presley tells him to not fall for Pamela's tactics, he's better than that.

At camp, the situation didn't get any better as Zander and Indiana have gone into a fight over who Franklin is picking. Zander tells Indiana that she's not thinking bright if keeping a three-time winner over a challenge beast benefits people more. Indiana says they could always just switch the vote to him because he's a sour \*\*\*hole. Zander says that they could change it to Indiana because Franklin prefers to vote her over him anyways. Pamela tells Zander that he has no idea who Franklin is loyal to so he should stop talking like he knows stuff. Zander smiles and tells Pamela that her days of reign are numbered. Pamela answers that even if she gets voted here, he won't even come close to her track record. Indiana adds that Zander is a nobody and will remain a nobody. Zander doesn't seem affected by these words.

Some time passed when Zander and Presley compare notes with each other. Zander says he fought Pamela and Indiana earlier because they're being pathetic. Presley says that they showed their true colors and it won't be too difficult to get them out. He had a good talk with Franklin and is convinced that he'll vote for Pamela tonight. Zander is glad to hear that because he can't stand neither women.

Pamela and Indiana walk towards the woods, as Pamela signs towards Indiana to let her go by herself. Pamela enters the woods, approaching Franklin as she notices him almost crying. She decides to take the time to comfort him and asks him if there's anything she can do. Franklin asks her to leave him alone, he wants the time to think about what's best for his game. Pamela says she respects his decision, however, she hopes that he won't fall for Presley's manipulation. If they swap next and Presley's on a different tribe, he can't benefit from the challenge strength anymore. Franklin says he can't just gamble on that. Pamela shrugs and says that she hopes Franklin will make the right choice tonight.

### Tribal Council #1 - Davui

Franklin, Indiana, Pamela, Presley and Zander arrive at tribal council. Jeff welcomes them and asks Indiana how it feels to be back at tribal. Indiana answers that she's excited so she can vote someone out that she can't stand at all. Presley and Zander roll their eyes while Pamela tries to hold her laughter. Jeff then asks Presley what made them cost the challenge today. Presley thanks Jeff for asking him that because he wanted to say something about that. Something that didn't cost them the challenge was himself since he did everything to win the challenge for his tribe. He's their strongest player and if they vote him out, over a three-time winner, then they're not thinking straight. Pamela interrupts Presley by saying that if there's a swap or merge, his challenge strength could work against them. Also, going to the merge with a three-time player would be the best strategy because who would want to sit next to her or even give her another million dollars. Franklin then tells the two to stop arguing and suggests to vote since he made his decision. Presley believes that Franklin chose to side with him.

The players then vote. When Jeff asks for someone to play any orb, Presley looks at his purpureus orb, almost deciding to play it but decides to not do it. Jeff then reads the votes.

First vote ...

**PRESLEY**

**PAMELA**

One vote Pamela, one vote Presley ...

**PAMELA**

*(Indiana looks straight towards Jeff while Pamela looks around her, starting to grin. Franklin closes his eyes.)*

**PRESLEY**

*(Presley is biting his nails while Zander's leg is shaking. Pamela looks on her guard while Indiana keeps staring at Jeff. Franklin blushes and keeps shaking his head.)*

*Fifth person voted out of Survivor: Game Changers ...*

**PRESLEY** (3-2)

Presley burts out in laughter as he calls Franklin the dumbest player of the season. Pamela tells Presley to grab his torch and leave and put her on his last will and make it quick because she wants to return to their camp. Presley shakes his head and says that Pamela got lucky she has brainless people following her. Indiana tells Presley that he couldn't live up to his legacy so he's the disappointment of the season. Presley shrugs and gets his torch snuffed, thanking Jeff for this opportunity. He then leaves tribal council.

### Last Will

Presley walks down the path as he has to name someone on his last will. His first choice isn't eligible anymore because he wanted to deny access to Franklin. He then has to pick between Pamela and Indiana. Presley knows that Pamela will be taken out soon anyways so he wants Indiana to follow her quickly, deciding to deny access for her.

### Tribal Council #2 - Moica

Amy, Andrew, Blaine, Bonita, Jia Li and Neil arrive at tribal council. Jeff welcomes them and asks Amy how it feels to be back at tribal council after not attending it for a while. Amy answers that she clearly didn't miss it because these past few hours have seriously messed her up, however, she feels like tribal is necessary for her game. Andrew looks satisfied with her answer as he winks towards Blaine, who doesn't know how to respond and just smiles at him. Jeff then asks Jia Li what she thinks of her tribe so far. Jia Li answers that she likes some people and hopes they can win some challenges again after today. Jeff then finally asks Bonita what they can expect for tonight's vote. Bonita answers that it'll be eye-opening for some, she feels like.

The players vote. No orbs got played. Jeff reads the votes.

First vote ...

**NEIL**

**ANDREW**

One vote Andrew, one vote Neil

**ANDREW**

**ANDREW**

*(Andrew starts to frown as he's surprised to see his name on three different parchments.)*

*Sixth person voted out of Survivor: Game Changers ...*

**ANDREW** (5-1)

***#BLINDSIDE***

Andrew has no idea how to respond and instead looks around him, asking Blaine why he did that. Blaine tells him that he had no choice but to follow the group. He whispers towards him that Bonita planned this vote. Andrew, flabbergasted, decides to hug Blaine and thanks him for helping him out this game. He grabs his torch and gets it snuffed. He wishes everyone goodluck and tells them to play hard.

### Last Will

While walking on the path, Andrew leaves some tears as he feels betrayed. He has to decide who he will put on his last will. Andrew says that he never expected Blaine to write his name down but they had some real touching conversations so he gives him the benefit of the doubt. On the other hand, he doesn't appreciate it that Amy just voted for him. However, he told her to play the game and he would've voted her if he needed to. On the other hand, Bonita played a double-game and he feels like Bonita played a huge part into his blindside so he decides to deny access to Bonita, writing her name on his last will.
