“Survivor” Episode 4 Review
This episode of “Survivor” featured a true shake-up, with the three tribes turning into two.
With the Kele tribe consisting of only two members at the end of the last episode, a shake-up was necessary to give the game a more even playing field.
The new Hina tribe consists of castaways Nate, Rizo, Savannah, Jawan, Matt, Jason and Sophi.
The new Kele tribe consists of castaways Kristina, MC, Sophie, Steven, Sage, Shannon and Alex.
The new Hina tribe includes four members of the original Uli tribe, two members of the original Hina tribe and one member of the original Kele tribe.
The new Kele tribe includes four members of the original Hina tribe, two members of the original Uli tribe and one member of the original Kele tribe.
At the immunity challenge, the new Kele tribe came out on top, winning immunity and the fruit reward that came with it.
The new Hina tribe was therefore sent to tribal council, where former members of Uli had all the power in deciding who went home.
Sophi, the sole member of the original Kele tribe, was able to integrate herself with the former Uli members and made herself someone they wanted to keep safe.
That left Jason and Matt, the two members of the original Hina tribe, as the potential targets.
In an attempt to save himself and make a big move, Matt floated the idea of blindsiding Nate at tribal council.
That proved to be a poor decision, as it made the rest of the tribe see Matt as a dangerous player. At tribal council, Matt became the latest castaway to get his torch snuffed.
