My Little Helper

**My Little Helper** is the second episode of *Survivor: Game Changers*.

## Story

### Day 7

On Solevu, Bartosh is talking with Wess and Shekinah. He tells them he thinks they’re on the good position right now, because they can play with Lena and Tommy and create this 5 person alliance or they can work with Julius, Arturo, Ciara and Kira and create this huge alliance, so they need to still have good relationships with the whole tribe. Shekinah and Wess agree that’s very important, that they won’t show anybody what they think about this tribe.

Later on, Kira starts to look for an idol. Camera shows Kira searching for it nervously but she finally finds it.

Solevu and Nalau arrived on the beach where Nalau saw that Helena had been voted off. They were shocked. Jeff Probst then asked what they think they're on the beach for to which Shekinah heartily replied, "We're about to swap!". The castaways then draw covered buffs one by one, when they reveal them it is revealed that they have split into three new tribes, creating the new green Barotu tribe. The new tribes are as follows:

As the players revealed their new buffs they noticed a new third tribe, Barotu, had been formed. This tribe, much like the additional third tribes in the past, must start anew without anything more than basic supplies.

At Nalau, Daniel welcomes Julius, Kira, Lena, Tommy and Wess as they’re all from old Solevu tribe. Julius is ecstatic about being in the tribe with Daniel and Kira, as he knows them from previous seasons.

Julius, Daniel and Kira talk in the woods. They’re so happy to be together. Kira says it’s an obvious alliance. Daniel agrees but he thinks it’s good, because Wess, Lena and Tommy will think it’s him, but in reality it’s different. Julius says Wess is not close with Lena and Tommy, so maybe they will use this fact against them.

Lena and Tommy go fishing. Tommy’s glad this tribe has a fishing gear. Lena’s worried about their position in the game, mentioning Daniel has played with Julius and Kira before. Tommy says they need to bring Wess to them, so maybe they will work with him or the other option is to blindside him. Lena agrees.

On Solevu, Ciara and Shekinah welcome the new Solevu members: Egypt, Feleysa, Jude and Sarah. Ciara is happy to see Jude, because they were playing together in *Borneo* 17 years ago. Jude hugs Ciara telling her she looks incredible.

Ciara and Jude talk about their lifes after Survivor. Jude says it’s a great memory for him, because they are the legends that started this all. Ciara says she would love to rebuild their relationship and play together again. Jude says he’s ok with playing with Ciara. They hug.

Egypt and Sarah are talking about how good camp is. Shekinah tells them it’s because Wess helped a lot with construction building. Shekinah thinks about talking with Sarah, because they were working together in ‘’Cambodia’’.

Shekinah and Sarah are talking. Shekinah tells Sarah she would love to reconnect after Cambodia. Sarah says she’s into this too. Shekinah asks Sarah how thinks are going in Nalau tribe. Sarah says it’s ok, but she feels like it’s Old School vs. New School. Shekinah tells Sarah the same, saying she’s even into voting out Ciara, because she’s definitely on a different state of mind when it comes to gameplay. Sarah tells Shekinah, she’s ok with whatever Shekinah is thinking.

The new Barotu tribe arrived at their empty camp, knowing that they needed to start fresh without any sort of camp set up. Arturo hugs Julia and they talk it’s their third time playing together. Julia jokes everytime Arturo’s around, she’s making really far in this game, so he’s her “idol of luck”.

Arturo talks with Julia. Julia is really glad Arturo’s here. Arturo tells Julia it can be a really good alliance with Sylvester and Bartosh going on. Julia agrees saying Spencer and Dexter were not close to her, so she’s happy to have some new perspectives. Arturo tells Julia she needs to talk with Sylvester about it. Julia agrees.

Bartosh and Sylvester kiss as they’re happy to be here together. Bartosh tells Sylvester everything that happened in Solevu camp. Sylvester tells Bartosh about Nalau camp information. Bartosh thinks it’s good they’re into breaking the alliance of Old Schoolers. Sylvester doesn’t understand why Bartosh wants to do this. Bartosh thinks if people like Daniel, Kira, Julius, Arturo and Julia make the merge together, it’s going to be a huge alliance and they won’t bring winners to the end, so everyone from OG Survivor except for them and Arturo will be in the finals. Sylvester thinks they need to think who they should work with. Bartosh says he’s into voting out Arturo next, because the rest of their new tribes may be helpful.

### Day 8

Daniel starts to look around for the idol.

Tommy is having a conversation with Kira. Kira asks Tommy how he feels in this tribe. Tommy feels like it’s definitely not going to be an easy vote with Daniel going home, because he knows how Kira is close with him, but he would love to be a part of it. Kira is happy to hear that. Tommy says it may be awful, but he’s into working with them more than with Lena or Wess. Kira shakes Tommy’s hand telling him they will talk about it more later.

At Solevu, Sarah talks with Jude about Shekinah and Ciara. She asks Jude if he’s into working with Ciara. Jude says he doesn’t know, because Ciara and Shekinah both seem to be the solo riders. Jude thinks maybe it’s a good idea to keep them close. Sarah agrees telling Jude she’s already told Shekinah she can count on her. Jude tells Sarah this is the same thing he has told to Ciara. Sarah tells Jude she trusts him, so they should make the decision together. Jude agrees.

At Barotu, Spencer has a conversation with Sylvester. Spencer tells Sylvester he feels like Julia is going to play with Arturo, so maybe they should work together with Dexter and Bartosh. Sylvester knows about it, but he mentionts the best thing is to vote out Arturo, but it still will hurt Julia. Spencer tells Sylvester that Julia is playing her own game, so maybe it’s time for them to distance from Julia. Sylvester shakes Spencer’s hand telling him they’re good with each other.

Bartosh and Dexter are talking. Dexter asks Bartosh about his thoughts on the tribe. Bartosh tells Dexter he’s ok with everybody except for Arturo, because he’s a part of the huge alliance back on Solevu, so he’s a threat. Dexter agrees. Bartosh says if they will go to Tribal Council, it’s going to be Arturo and they have to move on as the five.

### Day 9

At the Reward/Immunity Challenge, the tribes had to send out three members to complete an obstacle course. The course required that the 3 members be tethered together and would have to climb through a series of obstacles before filling a bucket with water, crossing a teter-totter and filling a bucket that would lower a gate. After the gate had been lowered 1 member of the tribe had to untie a series of knots and the other two members would construct a puzzle of the Survivor: Game Changers insignia. The first tribe to finish would win immunity and a choice of reward while the second would win immunity and whatever reward the first tribe didn't pick. The Solevu tribe finishes first and Barotu tribe finishes second leaving Nalau tribe as the losing one. Solevu won a tarp and comfort items. Barotu gets seasonings. Nalau gets nothing and will have to eliminate one of their own at tonight’s Tribal Council.

Back at Nalau, the tribe was bummed over their loss. Julius feels like he let his tribe down.

Wess talks with Tommy and Lena about tonight’s vote. Wess asks them if they’re aware of the fact that Daniel, Kira and Julius will vote together for one of them. Lena is 100% sure about that. Tommy thinks they should do Daniel, because it’s the only logic option for them, as former Solevu members. Wess agrees.

Daniel, Kira and Julius talk. Daniel asks them who they think is the most dangerous. Kira says she would definitely keep Lena and Tommy, because they can work with them in the future and Wess is totally against them. Julius agrees saying it was seen with Helena’s vote situation. Daniel thinks it’s done, it’s Wess.

Julius and Kira talk with Tommy and Lena about tonight’s vote. Kira tells them it’s going to be Wess and they think Wess is going to vote for Daniel, so there’s probably going to be a tiebreaker, but it will automatically lead them to drawing rocks situation. Julius adds it would be terrible to be voted out that way, so maybe they should all vote for Wess instead. Tommy and Lena tell them they will think about it, because they need to do what’s the best for their games.

Nalau tribe is getting ready for their Tribal Council. Daniel is having a dilemma.

At Tribal Council, there’s a 3-3 tiebreaker between Daniel and Wess, however Daniel used his Hidden Immunity Idol before reading the votes. It made Wess going home by a vote of 3-0 in a huge blindside.

## Challenges

**Reward/Immunity Challenge:** **The Obstacle Course**
The castaways from each tribe will be attached to each other with ropes attached to belts around their waists. They will begin by racing through a tunnel of hay. They will then make their way over and under a series of hitching posts. The next step is to grab a bucket, fill it with water, and make their way over a giant teeter-totter. They will then pour the water from their bucket into a larger bucket. When the larger bucket is full, it will lower a gate. The team will then race through the gate to solve a plank puzzle. The first two tribes to get it right will win reward and immunity.
**Reward:** First-place tribe wins a tarp and has a choice between comfort items or seasonings; second-place tribe wins what the first placers did not choose.
**Winners:** Solevu and Barotu
