A Blast From The Past

**A Blast From The Past** is the eighth episode of *Survivor: Germany - Blood vs. Water II*.

## Summary

### Merge

Both tribes are currently on their way to the beach where Jeff awaits them. Arwin, David, Howard, Lysha, Regina and Reggie step out of the Feinde boat while Brady, Fianna, Isaiah, Oakley, Quelle and Zeynep step out of the Freunde tribe. They all make their way to the beach.

***FREUNDE***

***FEINDE***

Jeff welcomes the twelve players. He announces that everyone has made the merge finally! Everyone cheers and looks super happy to have made it to the merge. Jeff then hands over a note to David, Quelle, Regina and Brady as they are the only duo's standing in the game right now. No one really cares about it though right now, everyone's happy to have merged.

***JEDER***

### Jeder

Everyone arrives at the Jeder tribe. While everyone introduces each other, Brady and Regina immediately glare towards each other. Isaiah notices this and takes Brady aside, telling him that it wouldn't be smart if they're going to fight. Brady says he doesn't care but in all honesty, he agrees that he needs to look out.

Arwin, Howard and David decide to take a seat together after getting to meet their new tribemates. Howard asks David if he wants to add Quelle to their alliance. David answers that he'd love to but Quelle will never join him. Arwin suggests to keep working on new people so the three of them can be in a good position. David would love so. Howard agrees, saying that if they're pulling it off it'd be amazing. He really wants them to sit at the final three.

Regina and Lysha are talking about last tribal as Fianna and Zeynep arrive. The four girls talk about the game. Fianna openly says that they were in trouble on their original tribe and that Brady, Isaiah, Oakley and Quelle are dominating. Lysha seems confused because why would she immediately believe Fianna. She knows she's a actress. Zeynep doesn't say a word, just looking at the three girls. Fianna suggests to work together and make a girls alliance. Regina and Lysha accept it.

Oakley, Isaiah and Brady take a walk. Oakley asks Brady if he wants to share the clue. Brady opens the clue for the first time, after forgetting about the clue completely, and reads it.

"*Congratulations, you have found a clue to the hidden immunity idol! To find the idol, it's important that you know who's someone you trust and someone you do not trust at all. Two plus three is your answer, but only if you dare to answer you'll get what you're looking for. Use this information for your own good.*"

The three boys look confused. Isaiah thinks that it has something to do with a combination while Oakley suggests to look at camp when it's five o' clock. Quelle then arrives and asks the guys if they're still wanting to work with her. The guys pretend they never wanted Quelle out and now are agreeing that they want to work with her. Quelle smiles.

As Oakley walks towards the woods, he gets approached by Reggie. Reggie asks if he's in a good position on his tribe, with Oakley nodding. Reggie asks if they could need some allies. Oakley answers that it'd be fantastic. The two guys decide to talk about their lives and the game and they then agree that working together would absolutely benefit each other.

### Challenge

***JEDER***

The merged players arrive at the challenge. Instead of a big set up, there's only two benches placed at the beach with a big table where Jeff is standing. Jeff welcomes them to the Auction! The group looks super excited to be part of a Survivor Auction and decide to immediately sit down. Jeff explains the rules. There'll be 10 items. Everyone has 100 dollars. If you want a item, you bid. Once you're out of money, you can't buy a item anymore. There'll be special items too, so Jeff warns them to be careful.

So for Item #1 it is ... **Cookies 'N Cream**!

Zeynep bids 10 dollars while Oakley bids 20. Zeynep then bids 30. No one bids, which means Zeynep gets the cookies 'n cream. Zeynep looks very excited to have it.

Item #2 is ... **A shower**!

At first, no one bids until Regina bids 25. Brady bids 30 to piss off Regina. After some time, Brady is the only one to bid with 30 dollar which means Brady gets the shower. He stands up and walks towards it, glaring towards Regina.

Item #3 is ... **A special item**!

Isaiah immediately bids 100 dollars. No one else decides to bid. Jeff then reveals that Isaiah has won ... old socks and a old toothbrush. Some people laugh while Isaiah sighs.

The next one, Item #4, is ... **A Letter From Home**!

Zeynep starts to tear up a little and bids her remaining 70 dollars. Howard actually wanted it too but he decides to not bid for it. Zeynep gets it, quickly grabbing the letter. As she reads it, it's from her mother. Zeynep cries and gets some support from Fianna.

Item #5 is ... **A special item**!

Oakley bids his full 100 dollars, so do Quelle and Howard. Jeff says that they'll have to draw rocks. Whoever draws the black rock will win the item. And so the three draw rocks. Quelle draws the black rocks which means she gets it. Jeff announces that the item will remain a secret to anyone but Quelle. Oakley sighs.

Item #6 is ... **Idol Clue**!

Reggie bids 10 dollars. No one else bids for it which means Reggie gets it.

Item #7 is ... **A special item**!

Lysha and David now both bid 100 dollars. Rocks will be drawn again, just like the other group just did. Lysha and David do so with Lysha drawing the black rock. Jeff announces that Lysha has won a trip to the Alpine Rhine Valley where something will await her.

Item #8 is ... **A Hamburger Menu**!

Arwin decides to bid his full 100 dollars on it. He gets a big hamburger, large fries, a coke and a milkshake. Arwin says he feels like he's in heaven now. Some people smile at him.

Item #9 is ... **A special item**!

Fianna looks around and waits for someone else to bid. She rather waits for the last one. Since no one bids, Reggie does so and gets the special item. This one will be a secret too.

It's now time for the final item ... Item #10 which is ... **Individual Immunity**!

Fianna immediately bids 100 dollars. No one else does which means Fianna wins individual immunity. Fianna looks super stoked and hugs Zeynep, which gets noticed by some people, especially Lysha. While the group returns back to Jeder camp, Lysha will instead go to the Alpine Rhine Valley.

### Alpine Rhine Valley

Lysha arrives at the Alpine Rhine Valley. She hasn't been here yet, so she's very excited what's to come. As she sits, she notices that there's a letter on the table. She quickly grabs it and reads it.

"*You have won the ability to bring back your partner to the game, however, there's a risk. If you do so, you'll stay at the Alpine Rhine Valley alongside your partner until the next challenge happens. Which means you have no power at tribal council and won't have time to communicate with players during one of the most important moments of the game. You have to make your choice now.*"

The news is surprising to Lysha, as she doesn't know what to do. She rather be safe and stay here with Prince, getting the chance to finally talk after all. But she doesn't want to miss out the bonding on the merged tribe.

Lysha then decides to bring back Prince. As she decides, Prince walks up on the mountain and runs towards Lysha. He quickly hugs her and thanks her for letting him return. Lysha says she'd love to have him around.

### Jeder

The remaining eleven players arrive back at Jeder. Everyone congratulates Fianna on her victory. Reggie decides to quickly walk towards the woods to see his special item. As he opens it, he notices that he found a dark pearl. Reggie sighs, thinking that bad luck always hits him. He puts the dark pearl in his pocket and heads back to camp.

Fianna sits with Zeynep and Regina. The three girls talk about Reggie's item. Fianna says that she doesn't feel right about Reggie's item and maybe it'd be smart to focus on him. Regina immediately agrees, wanting Reggie out. Zeynep listens to the conversation and just wants to relax while Fianna and Regina continue to strategize.

Quelle is sitting in the woods as she opens her package. She reveals the hidden immunity idol to herself. She has found the merged idol and all she had to do was drawing the black rock. As she hears people, she quickly puts it away in her pocket. She then continues to walk normally and leaves the woods.

David, Howard and Arwin are sitting together as Brady, Isaiah and Oakley are so too. After the six guys have talked a lot, about the game as well, Howard stands up and suggests to make a deal. They could work as a alliance and rule this entire merge. Isaiah, Brady and Oakley look towards each other. They know that they need Zeynep, Fianna and Quelle out some time. Isaiah says it's a very good plan, having Brady and Oakley agree. Howard and Arwin look super excited while David seems a bit hesitant. He smiles and shakes the hands of the guys.

Quelle heads towards Brady and Isaiah and suggests them to work with the Feinde trio also known as Howard, David and Arwin. Brady and Isaiah are trying to hold in their laughter since they just made a deal with them. Isaiah pretends that Quelle is making this move. After their conversation ends, Quelle leaves again.

Meanwhile, Oakley and Reggie are talking about the vote. Reggie senses that he's getting votes. Oakley says that it shouldn't be him tonight. He feels like it'll be either Zeynep because she's a easy target or Quelle to get rid off a duo. Reggie seems to understand it and thanks Oakley for his information. Oakley then asks if Reggie wants to reveal his item. Reggie then shows the dark pearl.

Regina heads towards David and asks him who they're voting. David says he heard Zeynep's name. Regina shakes her head and tells David that Reggie needs to go like they talked about back at original Feinde. David shrugs and doesn't know what to say. Regina taps him on his shoulder and asks him to inform Arwin and Howard about the vote.

### Tribal Council

Arwin, Brady, David, Fianna, Howard, Isaiah, Oakley, Quelle, Regina, Reggie and Zeynep arrive at tribal council. Jeff asks Quelle how it feels to have merged finally. Quelle answers that it feels so weird, since they have been together as a tribe for such a long time. Jeff then asks Oakley how he felt about the auction. Oakley answers that it was fun to finally see a auction happening again, let away being part of it. Jeff then asks David if tribal lines are a thing. David says it does definitely play a huge part, but it's not the main factor. Finally, Jeff asks Reggie if he feels in danger tonight. Reggie nods and adds that he feels frightened.

The players vote. Jeff announces that Reggie received a dark pearl at the auction, which means Reggie automatically receives a vote against him.
