Can we get through this week on Survivor 2017 without quite the level of drama as last week? Yeah, that shouldn’t be too hard, or maybe it’ll at least be some serious game moves this time around. Even better is that we’ve got double the chances with this week’s back to back episodes of Game Changers.
We’ll start with 13 castaways left in Season 34 but there will be 11 after we find out who was voted off Survivor last night. First up is the Tribe Merge and the feast that goes with it as everyone settles in to their new home.

Mana arrives carrying all their fancy luxury gear while Nuku just has their bags as the castaways confirm their expectations with the Merge feast. But wait, there’s a catch. Not everyone is going to get to share in the goods here. Two castaways will have to sit out or they’ll instead get one cracker each.
Just as we spoiled last night, it’s Brad & Tai who sat out so everyone else could eat.
The new merged tribe decides to name themselves: Maku Maku.
Immunity is back up for grabs, but this week and for the first time this season the immunity will be individual. Group safety is over and that opens up a lot more possibilities for who will be going home.
It’s the ol’ squeeze a block between your head and the beam above you. It’s a tough one as always as we immediately see Hali, Zeke, and Troyzan out. Cirie goes next and Michaela soon follows. Well that’s not good for Michaela as she’s been a popular name at the merged camp for who should be the first elimination.
Next drops are Ozzy then Aubry leaving us with just five castaways left in the challenge: Sarah, Sierra, Tai, Brad, and Andrea. Oops, nevermind on Brad as he goes next. After a bit longer Sarah goes then Sierra soon follows.
Final two are Tai and Andrea…
Andrea wins Individual Immunity!
Back at camp the talk remains with Michaela and Hali as the top targets. Sierra thinks Hali has an Idol (not that I know of) so they’re splitting votes, but not everyone is convinced. Cirie wants to block the attack on Michaela and keep her as a number in her “army.” She tells Michaela to vote against Zeke and Hali thinks that’s the plan too. One of them will be surprised.
Jeff reveals the votes: Zeke, Zeke, Michaela, Hali, Michaela, Hali, Michaela, Hali, Michaela, Hali, Hali, Hali.
Hali Ford was voted off Survivor and is the first member of Jury.
That’s only the first half of this week’s double header of Survivor 2017…
Now we’re ready to see who will be voted off in the second half of Week 7’s Survivor double header.
The merged tribe will be split in to teams where they’ll head out in to the water to collect wooden fish, drag them back, and assemble the puzzle. Teams are schoolyard picks. Reward will be a day trip to the spa along with a big ol’ meal. Yum.
Red – Sierra picks: Brad, Sarah, Aubry, Michaela, Cirie
Blue – Andrea picks: Tai, Ozzy, Troyzan, Zeke, Debbie
Red and Blue are pretty even on the fish net drag, but Red gets the lead after Tai and Andrea move too slowly loading the fish on the beach. Red has the lead with the puzzle, but Blue is working hard to recover as Zeke and Debbie are working the puzzle for Blue against Cirie and Sierra on Red.
Andrea, Tai, Ozzy, Troyzan, Zeke and Debbie win Reward!
We’ve got the Survivor classic of the pole hugger. They’ll climb a telephone and hang on for dear life. Jeff points out that Ozzy has never lost this challenge.
They’re dropping like flies. Cirie, Brad, and Aubry are out quick then there comes Debbie along with Zeke. Next comes Troyzan and Sarah. That leaves behind Michaela, Andrea, Tai, and Ozzy in the running. Scratch Michaela and then Andrea takes a huge fall from the top but luckily doesn’t break anything.
It’s down to Tai and Ozzy. We hit the one-hour mark here. Make that 95 mins. Wow. Oh no, Ozzy slides off and is dethroned!
Tai wins Immunity!
Back at camp Zeke is trying to turn the game and bring a war against Andrea as he tells Sierra she’s the target. Word spreads and Zeke is looking foolish. Sierra is stressing it while Debbie suggests they vote out Ozzy. Will it be Ozzy, Zeke, or a surprise third option?
Before Jeff can tally the votes Debbie announces she’ll use her extra vote. We know she was going for Ozzy but had hoped to not need to use her power.
Jeff reveals the votes: Ozzy, Zeke, Sierra, Aubry, Zeke, Ozzy, Zeke, Ozzy, Zeke, Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy.
(Note: Debbie wasted her power as the votes were up enough over votes against Zeke.)
Ozzy was voted off Survivor and will join the Jury.
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 3 has begun, and will last for the next week. 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!
