Tonight on Survivor 2013 the Galang and Tadhana tribes will end and one new tribe, Kasama, will be born. But before we can get to that we need to address that pesky Redemption Island twist. We’ve finally reached the end of those arena challenges and one of the last three there will get to join the new, merged tribe.
The last Tribal Council victim to be sent to Redemption Island this season was Laura B after a very entertaining blindside last week. Forget Blood Vs Water, they should have named this season Survivor: Blindside. Good times for all. Well, all minus one.
This week’s episode of Survivor will kick off with Laura B arriving at Redemption Island to join John and Laura M. Back at the camps we’ll see a very grateful Vytas who has now survived another elimination vote and has now made it to the merge. How many lives does that cat have left?

Let’s find out who will make it back in to the game tonight and which castaway gets voted off tonight on Survivor!
Jeff tells John and the Lauras that what they’ve done so far doesn’t matter. It’s all about what they do right now in this challenge and the winner will re-enter the game.
The challenge is simple: hang on. Last player still hanging on their telephone pole will win the duel and get back in the game. Laura B immediately starts slipping and drops down a ring. After just 20 mins they look like they’re struggling. John starts to slide and kicks off his shoes to help. Uh oh, that sounds like a bad idea!
Laura B has found her comfort spot. Laura M has not moved at all. Oops! There goes John. He slides to the bottom and is out. What did I say? Way too heavy. This sort of thing is tilted toward a smaller framed woman.
Laura B is just about to the very bottom while the other Laura hasn’t budged. This shouldn’t take too much longer. Yep, that’s it. Laura B drops and that leaves just Laura M. She’ll return to the game and join the new merged tribe, Kasama.
Jeff says goodbye to Laura B and John before announcing the tribe merge. Next up is the Immunity Idol clue that Laura won in the duel. She can give it to herself, says Jeff, but guess what she does with it? Yep. Straight in to the fire. Sheesh.
Back at the new tribe’s camp Ciera pulls Laura aside and lets her know there’s an alliance she’s in, but to play it cool and go with the plan to eliminate Aras. Meanwhile you’ve got Aras and Vytas planning their path to the F2.
Oh hey, here’s something we haven’t discussed much this season. The Hidden Immunity Idol! Tyson decides it’s time to use the clues his tribe revealed after the Tribe Shuffle. Sure enough he digs it out of the tree and has secured his safety if he uses it right.
It’s time for the season’s first Survivor individual immunity challenge. It’s a flashy metal and red tassel medallion. Ohh. Ahh.
The challenge is a memory game where Jeff will show them a series of pictures and then they have to use their cube (see the image above) to replay the series. Oh I’d be screwed.
Round 1: Everyone is safe.
Round 2: Monica is out.
Round 3: Caleb and Katie are out.
Round 4: Tyson and Tina are out.
Round 5: Hayden is out.
Round 6: Everyone is safe.
— new series of items —
Round 7: Everyone is safe.
Round 8: Laura is out.
Round 9: Ciera is out.
Round 10: Everyone is safe.
Round 11: Gervase is out.
— only Vytas and Aras remain —
Round 12: Everyone is safe.
Round 13: Aras is out! Vytas wins!
Congratulations to Vytas. He’s safe at tonight’s vote and he got to beat out his brother.
Heading in to Tribal Council things are a mess. Aras is floating the idea of going after Ciera. Meanwhile, Ciera gives Laura the plan who gives her a different plan in return involving targeting Tina! Then you’ve got Gervase listing off several different plans himself. It’s nuts. I figured Aras would go next, but with this crew I’m not so sure anymore!
Jeff readies to reveal the votes. No one plays an Idol. Votes: Laura, Laura, Ciera, Ciera, Aras, Aras, Aras, Aras, Aras. Wow. They pulled it off.
Aras was voted off Survivor tonight! But wait, what’s this? Jeff tells Aras he has a chance to get back in the game. Arrggh! Redemption Island isn’t done. Grrr.
What do you think of the tribe’s decision? Was going after Aras the right move?
