Game Changers revealed who was voted off Survivor last night as the remaining castaways shuffled to new homes and Exile Island was reintroduced to the game, but in a whole new ay. Castaways soon returned to Tribal Council where another player was voted out here in the fifth week of Season 34.

With Nuku trailing at four castaways and Tavua holding strong with its six players it looks like it was time to get things rolling with a new mix of tribes. So who gets the short end of the stick this time around? Time to find out on this week’s Survivor 2017 episode.

We’re picking up just after JT was voted off last week in a 3-2 vote against Michaela. Kinda leaves Aubry in an awkward spot, huh? She won’t have to deal with that long as the next Tribe Shuffle has arrived. Well, unless she gets put right back with Michaela. Let’s see who goes where with the new tribes.
As for our Reward and Immunity challenges, CBS has kept those under lock and key this week to avoid revealing who ends up each of the new tribes and who gets sent to Exile Island this week. Lots of surprises coming our way on Game Changers!
Hidden Idol Immunity:
Tai is on a roll here. He found the clue to the next Idol during the last episode and here he is to collect on it. Tai wakes up and heads to the watering hole to pour water over boards to find a symbol. There’s an anchor in the wood so Tai digs there in the dark and sure enough he’s got a new Idol. Tai calls himself lucky. Yep.
New Tribe Shuffle:
Time for a third set of tribes as Jeff tells the castaways to drop their Buffs and pick a new one. Debbie’s pouch is empty so that means she’s off to Exile Island.
Debbie will sit out this next round alone and then join the tribe of whichever side loses. So the bonus is she can’t be eliminated this round, but she’ll be the latecomer when she joins her next tribe.
Mana: Troyzan, Michaela, Cirie, Aubry, Culpepper, Sierra, Hali
Nuku: Sandra, Andrea, Tai, Zeke, Ozzy, Sarah, Varner
Exile: Debbie
Hidden Idol Immunity:
Remember earlier when Tai found the watermark at the watering hole and dug up an Idol? Well guess what trick Tai pulled at his new camp? Yep. Same thing here at this camp and Tai finds his second Idol of the night. Good grief, Survivor. Change up your tricks a little bit. Lazy.
Exile Island:
Debbie arrives at her new barren camp… No, wait. It’s a boat with a life of luxury waiting for her. Seriously. She’s got food, comfort, a place to sleep. But wait, there’s more.
A boat just pulled up with… John Cochran (S23 & S28’s winner). John is there to give her any guidance or help she needs, but Debbie doesn’t feel she needs any so this is going to be tough for him.
John tells Debbie he has brought her an “Advantage Option.” It’s a little box that gives her the choose what could help her join the new tribe. She can get a “fake Idol” kit to make one, but it’s fake. She can get an extra vote power. Or she can get an advantage for her tribe in the next challenge. Given the episode title, “Vote Early, Vote Often,” there is no surprise here. Debbie picks the “extra vote” option.
Immunity Challenge:
We’ve got two tribes here and just one Immunity. Tribes must work through an obstacle course toward shore where they’ll grab huge barrel halves and hoist them up before dragging them back to the beach. There a few castaways will work to assemble the puzzle with the barrels. First to finish wins Immunity. Loser goes to Tribal and then gets stuck with Debbie.
Mana is cruising through with a nice lead but Nuku is working to close the gap. You can see the fear of Debbie in their eyes!
Mana barely reaches the top of the beach first with their puzzle pieces. They’re loading them up and working to get things together for the puzzle. Nuku isn’t far behind at this point… but it doesn’t matter. Mana makes incredibly fast work and Jeff calls it one of the fastest puzzle finishes of the series.
Mana wins Immunity!
Tribal Council:
Okay, so Nuku is trying to target Sandra but they’re telling Sandra and Varner that Tai is the target. Tai freaks out and tells Varner the target is Sandra. The rest of Nuku is upset and now Sandra is on edge. She’s ready to make sure she stays in the game.
Sandra baits Tai at Tribal Council. She gets him to give her a name of someone to target and she’ll join his vote. Tai tells her Ozzy and she announces it to the group. Nice move, Sandra. This could make Tai a hot target for the rest of the group. Yikes, Tai.
So will Tai play an Idol? Nope! Tai declines to play either of his two Immunity Idols.
Jeff reveals the vote: Tai, Tai, Sandra, Sandra, Sandra, Sandra
Sandra Diaz-Twine was voted off Survivor, the first in 90+ days of her playing the game.
Survivor Tournament: A New “Heroes Vs. Villains”
The Ultimate Survivor Tournament is a bracket-style game hosted by CBS in their All Access service that features fan-favorite castaways who span the history of Survivor. These 32 castaways are divided into two groups: heroes and villains.
Round 1 has already begun, and will last for a total of two weeks. Every player has a chance to choose who will advance to the next round and who will be “voted out” of the bracket. The power is yours! Vote NOW and make your own Tribal Council pick!

I’m still upset about JT. He trusted Russell Hantz the last time, then he trusted Sandra, the Kiss of Death.
Yea, disappointed also that he left. Wonder who is coming back and for how long he will stay,
A slow learner?
Is Exile Island going to be overnight? I have the impression that whoever shows up will only be seen by the person in exile.
Good guess.
Too trusting. A good ole Southern boy.
It must really hurt to get ousted when you have an idol in hand.
It’s going to be a busy show with all these twisty-twists!
I’m ready!
Ohh I forgot about Tai’s Idol clue that he didn’t follow up on yet. (Or at least they didn’t show us.)
Tai is so smart.
Let’s GO!!
Hey Mickey!
Hi Tina
Well, now he has the idol.
Hey you. Nice new pic.
Hey you! Thanks. I was playing with my Chromebook camera.
Ahaha, it’s Debbie! Off to Exile, Debbie!
Maybe they’ll leave Debbie there
LOL #giddyup
I’m guessing the guest comeback player will join her there.
Too bad Debbie can’t take Sandra with her.
Hi!
Oh, that’s too bad.
LOL
yeah, once they see her they’ll turn the boat around, lol
At least she wouldn’t be alone.
Hey Rainbow! How are you?
Pretty good, you?
I have a feeling that even when she’s alone, she’s not alone. Many people in that head
Can’t complain. :)
HELLO! How’s everybody! I’m late, but still here! Survivor!
OOOH that’s mean. But maybe true. LOL
You should be scared, Sandra!
Bless her heart
It is Day 14, and they have eliminated only four people.
Can they please get rid of Sandra tonight :p
Oh, don’t worry.
Why do you say that? Do you know something we don’t know?
Please!
They always seem to rush the ending.
(Evil laugh)…no, spoilers are rampant on youtube. You can come across them by accident.
Good for Tai, he never stops
I like the sound of that ;)
Good grief. TWO Idols for Tai? Way to get lazy, Survivor.
That’s a lot of power in his hand now.
Tai’s just really good. Lol.
It’s good to be him!
Yay for Tai!
I’m impress.
Debbie can’t go to exile. She’s gonna get even more insane!
I’d say the other people are lazy. Not even looking.
Is that even possible lol
Anything’s possible when it comes to Debbie! She’s a one woman show!
Give her a feast? Nooo!
Please don’t ever show us a close up of her eating, ever again. Ever.
Ciera, Tony, Caleb, Malcolm, Jt… 5.

My thoughts exactly…
LOL!!
Look at Jeff!
You need to add Cochran now.
She is a shark wrangler.
lol…
Wasn’t she the one who killed the shark in Jaws?
Hahaha
Who was that on the boat? I didn’t get a good look at him.
No, she WAS the shark in Jaws.
LOL!
Even better!
You are right. I keep forgetting certain people.
Cochran.
Why is he brought back of all people?
I know right?

Met Presidents and Prime Ministers. Oh lord.
“I’ve met Presidents…Prime Ministers…
Of all the duos I never knew I needed to see, Debbie and Cochran is up there. What a strange duo.
EW!!!!
I was class treasurer in eight grade.
Lol
She must go w/ the extra vote. Tonight is called “vote early, vote often.”
Convert to Debbiespeak: I’ve been a treasurer for several schools.
I got a WIN Button from President Ford in 1975.
and I bet you balanced that budget for the first time ever!
I saw Dick Cheney in a limo.
I’m sorry.
I’m going to throw up
Ahhh.
That an extra layer for the few week to come. Man, they went all the way to make this game complex.
How many idol are in play now ? Tai has 2, Troy has one, JT left his behind someone could find it. Who else ?
Too confusing for me.
Tai’s second one must have been hidden to replace JT’s, right? It was at the same camp.
But JT said he didn’t bring it at tribal. So it’s still hidden somewhere at camp.
What a couple of losers.
Haaha!
Nah, producers knew where it was. They will have filmed him hiding it and then gone and collected it.
Why ? Why would it be taken out of play ?
Oh boy, Ozzy in the water again
Sandra may exude evil yet she does have a brain.
Drown that queen.
That would be a cool twist!
We must win in order to not have Debbie!
Loser tribe gets Debbie. Forget Tribal, that’s a nice fire under their feet!
Did they say the winner would get Debbie, or the loser would get Debbie?
LMAO
The loser.
I thought that would be cruel to make the winners take Debbie…
I dunno. But I’m pretty sure if it was in play there wouldn’t have been one for Tai to find. They never have more than one per camp in play.
I don’t understand why people think she exudes evil. She defeated Fairplay, she defeated Russell, she’s basically the greatest hero the show ever had!
She’s horrible.
Exactly.
They knew no one would try to win if she went with them.
Haha I’m in the wrong place on this one. Sandra is easily my favourite player of all time – by a mile.
Haha! So true.
She scares me.
Hero, my big fat butt!
I just think she has a mean streak.
I do give her credit though. She is smarter than most of them.
From where they were, I think there was 2 per camp.
She’s the person who saved Rupert. She tried to do it twice.
He’s got two, LAZY VARNER!
I love her! She’s definitely showing how good she is, especially this season. But she has been very cocky, which is a little off-putting. But she’s set up for a huge downfall.
Double punishment. Tribal council and Debbie
The queen spits. Sigh.
Tai makes everyone look lazy by comparison. Is he the hardest working Survivor ever?
She’s always cocky. But she’s always been right (so far).
Wait…she saved my Rupert?! Hmm…I love Rupert. Did she really save Rupert?
It’s very sandy out there.

Once in Pearl Islands, and she tried again in Heroes vs Villains but he wouldn’t listen and went and trusted Russell. She has literally always been on the side of keeping the heroes and getting rid of the villains.
In my book JT is a villain. He screwed over his whole tribe and got Malcolm booted. Good work Sandra getting him out. Tony too.
LMAO!
I hope the plan works to get rid of Sandra.
I agree that JT screwed Malcolm over.
I do agree she is arrogant and has a mean streak though. But I don’t mind that at all, because she always unleashes it on the deserving.

If Tai gives Sandra an idol…that’s it for me.
Oh, He CAN’T.
It would never happen. I wish it would though.
Maybe. I thought I’d read something about Jeff saying it was out of play, but I can’t find it now, so I could be wrong.
…but I don’t know about that, Sandra.
Nooooooo
I sure wish I knew for sure.
I’m Upset That Malcolm Was Eliminated & Caleb… They Need To Vote Of Sandra IMMEDIATELY… She Is Trying To Control Everyone & Everything, She Don’t Need To Win Again! ??
Sandra’s claws coming out.
WHY?!
What a fool!
I hate this.
I think she is going to pull it off.
Tai is whack..
like crack.
But with an idol in his pack.
He’s playing an idol.
Complete knucklehead.
He better
I agree.
He’s not playing it?!
Oh my, what a mistake.
1st vote against Sandra, wonder who that was…
I don’t believe he didn’t play it.
Thank you, Jesus!
No! I’m sad she’s gone! This was a historic moment, though. Sandra’s first snuffed torch!
I’ve never been so happy to see someone go.
No one is going to trust Tai from here on in
Damn, Tai! You are crazy.
He didn’t, and he is lucky.
He is lucky. I thought they were going to vote him out.

He sure gave them a reason to
See you guys! I’m going to TX to have surgery, so I won’t be around for a while. Take care and have FUN!!!
Send me a last email before you go.
Hope all goes well, will be thinking of you
Have a good week, everyone!
I kind of wish Sandra could’ve known to ask Tai if he had an idol. He might’ve played it for her. That way Sandra, Jeff, and Tai would vote Ozzy and Ozzy would be out instead of Sandra.
Prayers. I didn’t read your email yet. I’ll be thinking of you.
You got it, Handsome.
Thanks, my friend!
Thanks LG…talk to you soon.
Are you coming to BBCAN ?
That would have been much better.
She brought great energy to the season. I’m sorry this season is being dominated by nobodies.
Well, it takes time for nobodies to become legends. Cirie didn’t automatically become a legend, neither Ozzy(even though it begrudges me to say his name), Boston Rob, Parvati, Russell…etc.
It happened for all the legend players so it can happen for these players too.
Look who is showing his true color:

No, not Ozzy
Oh, yes Ozzy! Don’t like him one bit.
Love him, lol
he actually has 2 i hope he gets so arrogant he doesnt bring it and they back door him then debbie
they did thanks to tai screwing her i hope he goes next then debbie
finaly she is gone good riddance now Ozzy stay safe
hahaha
Wow, I thought I was the only one.
She wanted to eat Mama Goat.
She is arrogant, and calls herself “the Queen”.
