Did Me No Favors

**Did Me No Favors** is the fifth episode of Survivor: The Badlands.

## Previously on Survivor

The tribes were swapped!

I'm happy about that tbh. Though sad I don't get to talk to rosa. But I will get through this

The challenge was Greed, where Penguin sent his tribe to tribal

A free spot to the f12, past not one, but two tribal councils. And all I had to do was take it? Easiest decision of my life

This leaves a lot of people shaken up

i need to establish connections with my new tribemates pretty quickly, dont want to go home over this dudes selfishness

But in the end it became a rather calm vote, with Nuhhy taken out unanimously over AJ

## Story

Penguin's happy with how the vote went down

If that happens, then I will be so undeserving of it. Mick won the season though, so maybe that bodes well for me winning the season. That's the hope and the dream

Bdog proposes an alliance

But from past experiences I don’t feel that great about it

I guess the reasoning is that he doesn't want Super and Jacob to be a pair moving forward and wants to get us okay with voting him off, but I'd prefer to keep Super

Most everyone else is pretty quiet

the flex

Penguin has more thoughts

And it will also give me a chance of beating Mick's record of longest time immune. That's literally all I care about

## Challenge

The players are thrown straight into the challenge, a live version of the board game Cluedo. In the end, Travis wins immunity for his tribe! Since he won the challenge, Travis also gets to watch Sickacha's tribal.

### On Kerochee

The challenge win boosts everyone's spirits

So uh it was in the fate of his hands

although after this tribal there will be 12 people left. hopefully jan can survive, we can win another challenge (or 2 if needed), and i can get into the merge. once im there, anything is possible

### On Sickacha

Bdog and Jacob know they're in the middle

But I am sorta leaning toward taking out the sickacha. Also I don’t want to backstab Colin and candle though. So it’s a hard choice

We could either vote one of Sickacha off or one of Kerochee off

Jan goes to Jacob saying he's fine if Katerina does end up going home, but it looks like what he thinks isn't fully true

Apparently Kate doesn’t hate me like I thought she did

Super is nervous

## Tribal Council

* **Poison:** Welcome to tribal council Sickacha! Those who haven't been here before, please dip your torches in the fire, and we can get started. So Jacob, is this vote going to be complex, like a blindside? Or is there a common target?
* **Jacob:** I have no idea, Poison. I mean, there hasn't been much talk around camp, and I personally have not heard any names, so I have no clue where this vote could be heading.
* **Poison:** Understandable. Jan, is there a need for unity in this tribe, or are you guys just gonna fracture?
* **Jan:** Poison, unity is like losing your virginity
* **Poison:** Is it?
* **Jan:** Sure it is. It’s a little confusing and hurts a little bit at first, but once you get in the groove of it, you don’t wanna stop
* **Poison:** Well! That is something. Rosalynd, Colin, you both come from the tribe that could very easily have majority this tribal. But do you two feel safe?
* **Colin:** honestly, anyone who feels safe is kinda dumb
* **Rosalynd:** Safety is kind of hard to establish. You just kind of have to trust people are honest.
* **Jan:** Safety is all about protection, Poison, and if you don’t got it, at least pull out
* **Poison:** When will you stop. Anyways, Bdog, Katerina, how social do you need to be in order to further yourself in this game?
* **Bdog:** In this game you have to be social because if you don’t then you become an easy target and have no people to help you out
* **Katerina:** Not too social because people will view you as a threat. And not completely isolated because people will view you as dead weight. Find the middle ground xoxo
* **Poison:** Well this has been interesting, unfortunately with that it's time to vote. Tim, you're up.

At the intial vote, Bdog throws his vote onto Colin last minute, causing the vote to tie 3-3-1 between Super and Katerina. Everyone ends up sticking to their own sides, but Bdog ultimately sides with Sickacha and votes for Katerina, sending her home 3-2.

* First Vote
* Revote
