The inevitable next boot in line, Gys, was eliminated in Survivor South Africa: Santa Carolina Episode 10. In casting his vote, ProVerb decided to stir the pot some more, voting against Izak just because he could.
With the departure of Gys, somebody’s going to have to take his place as the fisherman. Izak goes out with the spear and grabs a fish on his first try. Sade as well manages to catch a fish the old fashioned way. Ashley, however, has no interest in trying.
Pro has decided his vote was cowardly, and he apologizes to Izak for it.
Each contestant starts the reward challenge behind a corkscrew, which they must unscrew by running around it. They will continue through multiple stages until they are the last one standing. Reward is a helicopter ride to a lighthouse for a picnic, or some deep sea fishing where they can keep what they’ve caught and get treated to a spread. In either case, they get some Hunter’s Dry, which apparently refreshes like nothing else on Earth. A dizzy Sade is off to the next stage first. She is followed by Izak, ProVerb, and Kaseran. GiGi and Ashley are out. Sade is also the first person to complete the second stage, and she’s followed closely by Izak. Izak wins reward by a few seconds. He opts for the fishing. Rather than taking the runner up, he takes Ashley. It seems she promised her daughter she’d catch a fish, though she has not yet tried to do so in the three weeks they’ve been on the island.
GiGi tells Kas and ProVerb they should get rid of Izak because he’s a threat to them. Granted, she tells us that Kaseran is another target of hers. Ashley thinks Izak’s next in line.
When they’re done with their reward in which they ate as much as they possibly could, Ashley decides to break the rules and stash as much food as she can. They’ve also caught some huge fish.
Kaseran has been digging holes all day. He’s done looking for that idol. Whoever finds it finds it.
Ashley reconfirms the all female alliance. Obviously, the other two are still onboard because it’s not like they have any other choice. The problem for Ashley is that if either of the other two win that final immunity, their loyalty would be to each other rather than to Ashley. Then again, given the irrational voting from some of the guys, how trustworthy they can be is questionable.
Each person will start behind a table and must familiarize themselves with masks using their hands because they will be blindfolded the whole time. They must then recreate their masks using three bags of puzzle pieces, which they will take through the obstacle course one bag at a time. Kaseran is the first one to grab his second bag. Ashley’s behind him. ProVerb and GiGi join Kaseran and Ashley in starting their puzzle. Having made three trips was not enough for Kas, who returns for another feel. Before he gets back, Ashley wins immunity.
Of all the people who were in danger, Ashley was not one of them, so that leaves the playing field wide open for whoever they want to get rid of.
Pro doesn’t want to vote for Izak this time since he apologized to him for doing that already. Kaseran, however, wants to target Izak. They can pull this off without Pro’s vote, but with would at least demonstrate a unified front.
Ashley suggests an alternate strategy so that they don’t get their hands bloodied. Split the vote: 2 Sade, 2 GiGi, and 2 Izak. Thanks to Pro’s vote from the previous tribal council, Izak would go home. This would also mean that Ashley’s the only person on the tribe without any previous votes. The dicey part of this is getting Pro and Izak to fall in line. One or two people flipping could mess up everything, but it appears Ashley’s got all her ducks in a row as they head off to tribal council.

This three way tie brings us to consider previous votes. With his 1 previous vote from the last tribal council, Izak has been voted off the island. He realizes he’s been set up, but nonetheless, he seems to be rooting for Ashley and Kaseran, who he blames for his downfall.
