I Don't Need Shower, 'Cause It's Raining So Hard!

**I Don't Need Shower, 'Cause It's Raining So Hard!** is the third episode of *Survivor: Game Changers*.

## Story

### Night 9

The Nalau tribe comes back from Tribal Council. Tommy congratulates Daniel on making a big move. Daniel says it was nothing personal and it was all about Wess, not about Tommy or Lena. Kira says she really hopes they can move on as the whole tribe, so they can be a strong alliance at the merge.

### Day 10

The Nalau tribe wakes up. It starts to shower. The whole tribes is worried it can rain for few days. While hiding the clothes and stuff before the rain will hit, Lena talks with Tommy on private about Daniel being really good at this game and how he made it to find the idol. Tommy tells Lena they need to win challenges, because there's no other option they can break this alliance of three. Lena says she hopes there's an idol around the camp. She starts to look for it later on, but she does not find it.

Later on, the rain stops falling. Tommy asks Kira for a conversation. He asks Kira if they're still good. Kira tells Tommy she really wants to make it further as the five, but she's not sure about Lena. Tommy says Lena is really scared, that's why she's not talking to people. Kira says she needs to talk to her soon.

The remaining 17 castaways go to The Reward Challenge. Shekinah and Bartosh are shocked Wess was voted out. The Reward Challenge requires two members representing each tribe. One member must balance a ball on a post of increasing length, while the other would have to knock wooden sticks off of tables using sandbags. The first tribe to win would get a series of sweets, including cookies and coffee, while the second place tribe would get a thermos of iced coffee. Sarah from Solevu, Tommy from Nalau, and Spencer from Barotu do the pole section, while Jude from Solevu, Julius from Nalau, and Sylvester from Barotu throw the sandbags. In the end it's Nalau who is the first tribe to finish the challenge winning a series of sweets. The second tribe to finish was Barotu winning a thermos of iced coffee.

The Solevu tribe hides from the rain. Egypt is thinking about her position in the tribe.

Later on, after it stopped to rain, Egypt talks with Jude. She tells him that she voted for Jude at first Tribal Council, but she was given this information by the majority. Jude asks who it was. Egypt tells Jude she feels like Daniel, Sylvester, Julia, Kira, Julius, Arturo and Bartosh will work together because they have connections going on and that scares her. That's why she wants to work with Jude. Jude tells Egypt he's really happy about this new Solevu tribe and he hopes they will win challenges, but indeed they need to get rid of this "Friendship Alliance".

Jude talks with Shekinah. He tells her there's a lot of people talking about Daniel, Kira, Julius, Sylvester, Bartosh, Arturo, Julia and even Feleysa working together as they have obvious connections. Shekinah says it would be just awful if that's the thing. Shekinah mentions she used to work with Bartosh, but she doesn't know how he perceives this game. Jude says he would love to have the whole new Solevu tribe making the merge, because he trusts everybody here. Shekinah asks what he thinks about Feleysa and Jude says he really likes her, but know he doesn't know if she's not the biggest threat here because of her previous realtionships.

At Barotu camp, the tribe is drinking their iced coffee that they've won at the Reward Challenge. Because of the rain, they need to hide in camp. They talk about their past seasons and how Julia and Arturo were both in the finals of *All-Stars*.

Arturo and Julia talks later on, as the sun finally shows up. Arturo asks Julia is everything ok with their alliance. Julia thinks it's obvious it's going to be Dexter and Spencer next, however they're such a huge threats that they need to go. Arturo agrees, but he is not sure about Bartosh. Julia tells Arturo not to worry, because she spoke to Sylvester so many times about it, that she's sure they will be fine. Arturo tells Julia he hopes it's true.

### Day 11

At the Immunity Challenge, host Jeff Probst reveals that two tribes will be going to Tribal Council that night. The challenge requires that one caller send their blindfolded teammates out to water towers to collect a bag of balls. Once they get all three bags, they would come back and have three members each complete a table maze.

Solevu's caller is Feleysa, Nalau's is Julius, and Barotu's is Bartosh. The Nalau tribe leads through the entire challenge to the very end, when they are the first to win their immunity.

After the challenge, Jeff reveals that not only will both tribes be going to Tribal Council, but they will both be going to one Joint Tribal Council and will vote someone out together. Everyone is shocked by this new information.

It's a very rainy and cold day on Fiji. At Solevu tribe, Jude is talking to everybody about sticking together as the tribe. Ciara is worried that there's going to be a 6-6 vote which will make them draw rocks. Jude says they need to bring someone from Barotu to their side.

Ciara talks with Jude about tonight's tribal. She asks him how she thinks the vote will look like. Jude says he would like to do either Arturo or Bartosh, because they're not from original Nalau tribe and also they both are huge threats. Ciara says she would rather vote out Sylvester or Spencer tonight. Jude says he's worried about Feleysa flipping to their side. Ciara says maybe Barotu is not so close.

Jude talks with Feleysa. He tells her that he trusts her, but he needs to make sure they are all voting together. Feleysa says she doesn't want to change her vote. Jude says there's a rumor Feleysa is working with Julius, Kira and Daniel so people are scared. Feleysa is shocked. She tells Jude she will 100% vote with them tonight.

Sarah talks with Shekinah about her relationships with Arturo and Bartosh from her original Solevu tribe. Shekinah says she's 100% voting with her current tribe, as she's not that close to them. Shekinah tells Sarah she was close to Wess, but now she wants to be close to Sarah if that's possible. Sarah tells Shekinah they need to stick together, because if one of them flips it's going to be still Barotu 6 and there's going to be only 5 Solevu. Shekinah is worried who they will consider to go home. Sarah says this will be a live tribal for sure.

All the Solevu 6 talk about today's vote. Sarah says it should be either Arturo or Bartosh. Jude agrees with her. Egypt says she would rather do Arturo, because she doesn't know anything about him. Feleysa says she can do either of them. Sarah says Arturo is close with a lot of people in this game but Bartosh is sneaky and he's playing with his husband this time, so it may be a problem. Ciara suggests voting out Sylvester, because he's more problematic when it comes to challenges and other stuff than Bartosh. Shekinah says she would rather do Arturo too, because he's so likeable and trustworthy, that he can tell you whatever you want to hear. Ciara really doesn't like the idea of voting out Arturo.

Back at Barotu tribe, they try to hide against rain. Bartosh feels stressed as he can't talk about tonight's vote with anybody on private, because it's raining so hard.

Arturo asks everybody as they all sit in the shelter about tonight's vote. Julia says they should all stick together and vote out one of the original Solevu members. Bartosh doesn't like what he hears. He asks Julia what she means. Julia tells Bartosh she's not talking about him, she's talking about Ciara or Shekinah, but because Ciara can potentially work with them tonight, they should vote out Shekinah.

The rain stops, as the sun comes out. Spencer talks with Dexter about tonight's vote. He tells him he doesn't like the idea of voting out Shekinah. Dexter tells Spencer he's ok with the plan of voting out Ciara, but it looks like Arturo and Julia want to keep her for themselves. Spencer says it's going to be Daniel, Kira, Julius, Arturo and Julia working on the merge together for sure. Dexter says that's why they should keep Shekinah and vote out Ciara tonight. Spencer tells Dexter he was thinking about making friends in Solevu by voting out Sylvester tonight. Dexter is shocked.

Bartosh talks with Sylvester. He asks Sylvester what he thinks. Sylvester thinks the best option is to vote out Shekinah, because they need to stick together. Bartosh says for him it's dumb, because Shekinah was playing with Bartosh back at Solevu, so maybe she will join them at the merge. Sylvester says it was few days ago, now it's a whole new game, so Bartosh shouldn't think about Shekinah as the potential allie. Bartosh says for him personally the best option is to vote out Arturo. Sylvester says it's stupid, because Julia will not trust them ever again as there were problems with Rachel's elimination. Bartosh says he's going to vote out Arturo tonight.

Bartosh and Dexter talk. Bartosh says he feels like it's going to be either 6-6 or a big blindside. Dexter asks Bartosh does he feel threatened. Bartosh says he doesn't know, but he really would like to vote out Arturo. Dexter thinks it's not good at this point. Bartosh tells Dexter there's going to be an alliance on the merge and he's not a part of it, but he knows that if Daniel, Julius, Arturo, Julia, Kira and maybe even Feleysa are going to be together, it's going to be done. Dexter feels like they really need to start working to vote one of them out. Bartosh says that's what he is up to. Dexter asks what he thinks about Solevu people. Bartosh says the only people that he could vote for are Ciara, Jude or Sarah. Dexter says they need to protect Sarah, because she may help Dexter later. Bartosh says he's not going to vote Shekinah now no matter what. Dexter is thankful for that.

Arturo and Julia are talking. Arturo asks Julia what if one of our tribemates will flip against them. Julia thinks it would be the dumbest decision ever, but she doubts anybody will do this. She's sure about Sylvester and Bartosh voting with them, as Sylvester once betrayed her with the Rachel vote. Arturo is thinking isn't it better to vote out one of the original Nalau members like Jude, Sarah or Egypt as Feleysa may help them. Julia hopes Feleysa will vote with them, but she has to ask her about it during the tribal. She adds saying maybe voting out Jude or Sarah would be good, but they need to talk with Sylvester and Bartosh about it and then they should talk with Spencer and Dexter. Julia hopes neither Spencer or Dexter will flip against them.

Both tribes meet each other at the Joint Tribal Council. They start to talk with Jeff Probst. After that, Julia asks Feleysa about tonight's vote whispering to her ear. Feleysa tells her she's sticking with the Solevu people. Julia quickly asks her who's the vote. Feleysa tells Julia she can't say that. Jeff Probst asks Julia about her move. Everybody start to panic. Julia says she's worried about a 6-6 vote, so she has aked Feleysa, because she trusts her. Spencer says that's the problem that there are so many previous relationships, that he's not sure about what to do. Then Bartosh stands up and whispers to Shekinah that she's in trouble, but he will do whatever she wants. Shekinah whispers to him that it's going to be Arturo. Bartosh is ok with this. Jeff Probst asks Bartosh about his conversation that he just has made. Bartosh says he's too woried about voting together as the Barotu tribe, because it only needs one person to be done and he can be voted out. Julia says they should stick together as the Barotu tribe, because there might be a crack in the Solevu. Jude whispers to Sarah's ear that Barotu seems to not be good with their decision. Sarah is happy about it. Arturo goes to Ciara and tells her it's going to be Jude tonight and that she needs to vote with them. Ciara is saying ok, but she's worried about it, she doesn't want to do this. Arturo whispers to all Barotu members it has to be Jude, not Shekinah as Shekinah seems to be not connected to them that much. Then Spencer goes to the Solevu members and whispers to them that voting out Sylvester by a vote of 7-5 my be a good thing, so he's doing that. Ciara loves the proposition. Barotu members are shocked about what Spencer is doing. Bartosh asks Spencer out loud what is he doing. Spencer says he's playing his own game. Egypt whispers to Sarah they should do their original plan. Bartosh tells Shekinah it looks like Jude is going home, but he's not doing it. Shekinah tells Bartosh to vote out Arturo. Bartosh says he's really worried about what is Spencer doing. Shekinah tells him there's no time to change. Jeff Probst tells everybody to start voting. In the end there's two votes for Sylvester, four votes for Jude and with the six votes, for the first time ever it's Arturo being blindsided and voted out.

## Challenges

* Reward
* Immunity
**Challenge:** **Ram-Ball On**
Two castaways per tribe will compete in this challenge. The first must race to balance a ball on the top of a pole while maneuvering through a series of obstacles. Along the way, they would add another section of the pole, making it harder to balance the ball as they make their way through the course. After they got past the balance beam, they would have to untie knots to get to a table, where they would place the ball on it to retrieve a key. The second castaway will unlock a chest of sandbags and shoot the sandbags at a series of bamboo targets. The first two pairs of castaways to finish win reward for their tribes.

**Reward:** Coffee, iced tea, and chocolate cookies (first place); Thermos of iced coffee (second place).

**Winners:** Nalau and Barotu**Challenge:** **Blind Leading the Blind**

Each tribe will choose one person to be their caller. The rest of the tribe will be blindfolded. Using only verbal commands, the caller will instruct two pairs of blindfolded tribe members to collect three bags containing one ball each. Once they have all three bags, they will take off the blindfolds and, one at a time, work to put the three balls in the center of a table maze. Once a tribe member succeeded to put one ball at the center of the maze, they could not help their tribemates anymore for the remaining balls. The first tribe to finish wins immunity.
**Additional Stipulation:** The two tribes who will lose this challenge will both be sent to a Joint Tribal Council, where the two tribes will together vote one castaway out.

**Winner:** Nalau
