## Challenge

Immunity Challenge: The Icebreaker

This challenge involved the tribes matching facts that the castaways on the opposing tribe gave in their application form. Once the tribe agreed on who applied to which fact, they had to submit their guesses in a form. The tribe that got the most people correct would win immunity. If there was a tie, which there was, the tiebreaker was which tribe filled in the form first.

Winning Tribe: Papara

## Day 1:

The 12 castaways were split into their tribes. Mahina consisted of Bryson, Cameron, Glenn, Muzah, Rick and Sam. Papara consisted of Andreea, Cian, Lucius, Mateja, Miguel and Minko. The tribes settled into their camps and Miguel immediately asked Lucius if he wanted to form an alliance. Lucius agreed and the first alliance of the game was born. After being invited into an alliance, Lucius then decided to get closer to some other players, forming separate alliances with Minko & Cian.

## Day 2:

The first challenge, the icebreaker, was posted where the tribes had to assign facts to members of the opposing tribe. Mahina were initially more active and Sam actually had all the names correctly assigned in under 10 minutes. However, they decided to wait for confirmation from other tribe members. Papara were a bit unsure between Bryson & Glenn but after some research, they matched the facts correctly and submitted the form in about 30 minutes, winning the challenge. Mahina also submitted the form correctly when all members agreed, in around 3 hours.

## Day 3:

The challenge results are revealed and this resulted in Mahina starting to form a lot of alliances:

*Glenn and Rick:* Rick suggested that they should vote for Bryson as they know him the least, with Glenn agreeing. Moments later, Glenn received a request from Bryson to ally with himself and Cam. He agreed to discuss who they should vote for and they came to an agreement to vote for Sam. However, Glenn stuck with his alliance with Rick and voted for Bryson.

*Muzah, Rick and Cam:* Muzah and Rick initially suggested voting for Bryson however Cam didn't want to and accepted the request from Bryson to form an alliance. Muzah included Cam in the alliance as he felt Cam had a "trustworthy vibe" and "wouldn't make alliances with other people" but Muzah quickly became doubtful of this after speaking to Cam. The three came to an agreement that Muzah and Rick will vote Bryson whereas Cam will vote somebody else (either Sam or Glenn).

*Muzah and Rick:* This alliance was initially formed due to Cam being less active, however became important when Cam didn't want to vote for Bryson. Rick revealed to Muzah about the alliance with Glenn and how he convinced him to vote Bryson. Also through Glenn, Muzah and Rick found out about the Bryson and Cam alliance, which confirmed their votes. They also discussed Sam's strategy, with Muzah being certain he had to have spoken to somebody. However, until this point, Sam hadn't formed any alliances.

*Bryson and Cam:* Cam chose not to reveal the alliance he had with Muzah and Rick to Bryson. He suggested that him and Bryson should vote for Glenn over Sam however Bryson then revealed how he was trying to get Glenn onto their alliance. In the end, Cam and Bryson agreed to vote for Sam, with them also thinking Glenn would vote for Sam.

## Day 4:

Mahina went to tribal council and the votes were read. Bryson, Sam & Glenn all received a vote with Bryson and Sam receiving a second. It all came down to the final vote which was for Bryson, making him the first person to leave Survivor: Tahiti and Survivor: Discord as well.

 Bryson: I am voting for **Sam** because because he’s a huge threat to win this game. I hope this goes as planned.

 Cameron: I am voting for **Sam** because I don't wanna vote out my fellow teammates and I feel like he has the biggest target on his back at the moment.

 Glenn: I am voting for **Bryson** because I barely know you, and honestly I'm scared that the further we get in the competition you will eliminate me if it's me against Cam or someone else since I can be your biggest competition as well (I prob won't be) + me and Rick came to a mutual agreement to eliminate you.

 Muzah: I am voting for **Bryson** because I feel like he’s contributed the least to the tribe so far.

 Rick: I am voting for **Bryson** because voting him is the only way to save the alliance from me and Muzah. And he did the worst in the challenge in the way i look at it.

 Sam: I am voting for **Glenn** because I don't see us working closely together throughout the competition.
