Virtual Survivor Season 6

**Virtual Survivor Season 6**

## Recaps

### **Episode 1**

Survivor: New Mexico started with all castaways being split into two tribes: Yangku and Kapantin. Tribes then made their way to their respective camps. Jeremiah and Alex quickly joined together on Kapantin, though Alex told the tribe that they should be one unified alliance instead of forming small individual alliances; he also emphasized focusing on beating the other tribe. Meanwhile, Yangku bonded at their camp and attempted to start a fire, which they named Bernie. Luke quickly took the role of leader and started talking strategy with the tribe, trying to bring the group together.

Both tribes faced off at the Immunity Challenge. Each castaway had to form a belt around their waist with rope then join with the other tribemates, forming an outward circle. The task was to then find eleven hidden PVC pipes and form a frame for their tribe flag. The first tribe to correctly build the frame and attach the flag would win Immunity. Kapantin had an early lead, but Yangku was faster at putting together the frame, winning the tribe Immunity.

Due to filming time constraints, Kapantin went directly to Tribal Council. Although they said that they had "jammed" as a tribe, they realized that they had struggled slightly at the challenge. The alliance of Jeremiah and Alex along with Seriah voted out Greg, 3-2-1, with Seriah receiving two votes and Hannah one. Greg, who was voted out without a majority of votes, hugged Jeremiah as he left Tribal. Greg then relinquished his bandanna and became the first to leave the game.

### **Episode 2**

After Tribal, Kapantin members tried to stay together and focus as a tribe. Yangku returned to camp after winning the Immunity Challenge and grew closer together as a tribe. Noah quickly found Yangku's Hidden Immunity Idol, although Daniel spotted him in the act and informed Luke.

In the Immunity Challenge, tribemates were numbered off one through five. A numbered card would be held up, and the person with that number would run to the middle of the path, where a flag lay. If the flag was successfully brought back to the tribe's side, the tribe would receive two points. If a castaway was tagged while holding the flag, the other tribe would receive a point. The tribe to reach seven points would win Immunity. Noah sat out the challenge for Yangku, as they had one extra member.

Kapantin gained an early lead, much like the previous Immunity Challenge. Although Kapantin was ahead by as much as 4-1, Yangku came back to win 7-6 after Alex was tagged by Luke, sending Kapantin to Tribal Council again.

Alex claimed responsibility for the tribe's loss; however, the tribe targeted Seriah. At Tribal Council, Seriah was voted out 4-1 (with Hannah receiving Seriah's vote). She joined Greg on the jury.

### **Episode 3**

Back at camp, Kapantin discussed plans of a tribe leader moving forward, but nothing was set in stone. Lines became more clearly drawn between Alex & Jeremiah and Carolyn & Hannah as both sides targeted each other. Over at Yangku, Luke, Daniel, and Noah talked about who they most wanted out; Noah also admitted to having the Idol. Noah wanted Emma out while Luke and Daniel targeted Katie.

At the immunity challenge, 3 tribe members had to get through a rope maze and collect puzzle pieces, then one member had to complete the puzzle to win immunity. For Yangku, Emma and sophia sat out.

Yangku had an early lead in the challenge but Kapantin quickly caught up and passed them barely before the puzzle portion. Carolyn quickly started on the puzzle but it was Noah who come up trumps for Yangku and won their 3rd straight immunity challenge. Sending Kapantin to another tribal council.

Everyone was set to vote off Carolyn after their lost but Hannah found the hidden immunity idol moments before tribal council. So, Carolyn convinced Alex & Jeremiah to vote out Hannah because of the hidden idol. Hannah was voted out 3-1(with Carolyn receiving Hannah's vote). She joined Greg and Seriah on the jury.
