This season we are based in Congo! (This was already my plan but someone had suggested it too so shoutout to them). The three tribes are named after cities in Congo, with the merged tribe named after the capital. This season I tried giving everyone a better edit and make more memorable characters as I can only remember 2-5 people from Sierra Leone and Florida.
How this works, is I give you the Challenge results, Sometimes alliance updates, Tribal Vote results and about 1-4 lines of things in each tribe to flesh out the characters.
Episode 1:
The tribes were split into three tribes, a tribe of only males, a tribe of only females, and a tribe of half males, half females.
Goma:
• Tex reveals in a confessional that he is Jack “J.P” Peter’s brother from Survivor Sierra Leone but doesn’t want to tell anyone.
• Jack and X bond, and make a final two pact
• Mac, JD and Tex form an alliance
• Carson and Tex also form an alliance
Likasi:
• All the girls work together to make the shelter
• So slips off to look for the idol, which Finley notices
• Finley talks to Elise and Emily about So being a potential threat and form an alliance
Kikwit:
• The six work together to make the shelter, then the two genders go their own ways and form alliances. The three guys Mike, Bacon and Creb form an alliance and Olivia, Lois and Latisha form an alliance
• Lois complains about the tribe name is called “Kikwit” which sounds like “Dipwit” or “Dropkick” (slang words for dumb and useless), which offends the rest of the tribe
In the immunity challenge, Likasi won the immunity challenge and Kikwit was the second tribe to win, sending Goma to the first tribal council of the season.
Goma:
• Tex has an alliance with X, Carson and Jack and another with Mac and JD so he doesn’t know who to vote for
• JD pretends he has an idol in his pocket
• X decides to split the vote for Mac and JD and if there’s a 2-2-2 tie, they could all vote together to break the tie
• Tex let’s Mac and JD know how the votes are going down and they try strategise a way to successfully beat the three other boys, but JD and Mac don’t know that Tex is playing both sides
Likasi:
• So finds the idol
• Finley, Elise and Emily talk to Ji and Zara about voting So off when they lose next
Kikwit:
• Latisha finds the idol
• Latisha and Bacon bond
Tribal Council:
With JD saying out loud that himself, Mac and Tex are going to take out the other three, X, Carson and Jack confront Tex about him being a snake but Tex says he’s on their side. The vote occurred and it came to a 2-2-2 tie, with JD not using his fake idol, with Mac, JD and Carson receiving two votes each. With Tex, X and Jack revoting, JD was the first person voted out in a 3-0 vote.
Votes:
Mac- X, Tex
JD- Jack, Carson
Carson- Mac, JD
Revote:

Goma:
• Tex explains to X, Jack and Carson he went undercover to make sure JD and Mac didn’t have an idol to use, but X is still annoyed at him

• The girls celebrate a second win with a suntan and beach yoga session
• Zara and So bond, as So tries to gain allies while Zara knows not to form any alliances with So
Kikwit:
• It’s tense and awkward at camp as the girls and guys try convince each other to flip, but know one seems to budge
• Bacon streaks in front of everyone to boost morale which Olivia, Mike and Creb laughs at while Lois and Latisha are more disgusted
Tribal Council:
The topic of guys vs girls is brought up, and also Bacon’s streaking, which is known as “The Streaky Bacon Incident”. In a 3-3 tie, Mike and Olivia are both worried about going home, but when the revote is the same, everyone draws rocks, and the survivor gods didn’t like “The Streaky Bacon Incident” as Bacon received the purple rock and was sent home.
In the challenge, Goma and Kikwit won immunity, sending Likasi to their first tribal council.

Kikwit:
• Mike and Creb know they’re in trouble as they are the minority now
• Lois annoys everyone, and tells everyone she’s a stay at home mother, but in a confessional she admits she’s a Private Investigator
Tribal Council:
So cries and says she knows she’s going home, which the other five feel bad about, but when the votes are about to be read, So plays her idol and grins as the other five are shocked and are all worried on who goes home. In a 5*-1 vote, Ji was voted out.

• Latisha and Lois bond over hating Mike, Creb and Olivia and how they keep each other sane
Tribal Council:
So talks to the entire tribe about how Finley is the best person to vote out because she is a weak and loveable player, and she uses her weakness as an under-the-radar strategy to get to the end, which Emily and Elise agree with, as in a 4-1 vote Finley was voted out.
