PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: Jay and Cindy knew they were on the outs of their tribe when Chrissy was sent packing. They were hoping to win immunity to ensure their safety. On the Family tribe, everyone felt good that they all voted for the same person, but didn’t know where they would go from there. At the immunity challenge, Keith was shocked they’d vote out Chrissy and said “you guys better watch out, because I’m going to be an unstoppable force.” In the challenge, it came down to a puzzle with Cirie and Cindy against Matthew and Keith. Cindy knew she had to win it, and she did, sending the Favorites back to camp safe with immunity. On the Family tribe, Matthew and Keith knew they were the ones who messed up in the challenge. Matthew tried making a plea to Reed and Jared and said that Keith’s threatening of the other side was too big of a threat to their whole tribe going into a merge. Reed wasn’t threatened by Keith, however, since Keith was all talk, whereas Matthew would be a giant threat later on. Reed talked to Jared about this, and then proceeded to talk to the girls. Mindy, Sydney, and Melanie just wanted to stay on the right side of the crowd. Reed told Keith that he was voting off Matthew, and Keith was relieved to know it wasn’t him. Keith decided, however, to break the news to Matthew. “Well, you knew it was going to be one of us, and it looks like it’s you,” he said to Matthew, as a way to clue him in so he wasn’t blindsided. Matthew, however, had the idol and made a confessional, “You never tell anyone they’re definitely going home when there are idols floating around.” At tribal council, Matthew said that he understood that his target was big since he and Keith blew it on the puzzle. Reed said that it was an easy vote between the two of them, since they were the ones who were responsible for the loss. Mindy said how it was just unfortunate since they were all so close. It was time to vote, and all the votes came in. But before the votes were read, Matthew played his idol, shocking the entire tribe. Nobody knew who Matthew would put his votes on. When the votes were read, Matthew received 6 whole votes, leaving just Matthew’s vote as the decider. Reed thought it was going to be him, but it was Keith whose name was on the parchment. Keith was shocked, but thought it was because of his challenge performance, not because he told Matthew he was going home.
