Survivor 51 Episode 5 Recap – Two Tribal Councils
There was only one challenge this week, and it was for both Immunity and Reward.
Toka (Yellow) ended up winning the challenge, which meant no Tribal Council and a basket of pastries.
When Toka got back to camp, a surprise twist was waiting.
There was a note stating that a player would be sent somewhere else.
Kristin, Mike, and Maggie volunteered to be the player sent to visit another tribe, and Maggie ended up winning the random draw.
On her way out, Maggie was given an “Alliance Builder Extra Vote.”
She could give this to another player to use as an extra vote at an upcoming Tribal Council.
Remembering that her former Toka tribemates Lewis and Kilby were on the Dena (Pink) tribe and were outnumbered by four original Savu members, she headed to their beach.
As Survivor 51’s previous episode revealed, the tribal swap created some complicated new alliances.
Maggie’s visit was about to make things even more interesting!
Survivor 51 Episode 5 Recap – Dena’s Blood Ring Antics
Meanwhile, at Dena, Lewis could feel the heat about potentially getting voted out, so he lied to Sharonda.
He approached her with a real ring he owned, telling her it was a “Blood Idol” ring that he received at Exile.
He claimed the ring connected their fates for the next two votes.
If he was voted out, then she would be, too!
However, Cristian remembered Lewis talking about his Irish ring, which matched the description of the one Sharonda saw.
Maggie later arrived at Dena and spoke to everyone.
She realized Lewis and Kilby were in trouble and not only gave them her “Alliance Builder Extra Vote,” but also the “Extra Vote” she and Brady had recently found.
This would help them overcome the 4-2 voting disadvantage in their tribe and, at the very least, bring them to equal ground and potentially force a rock draw.
Would Brady be happy to learn that Maggie had given it away?
Survivor 51 Episode 5 Recap – Who Was Voted Out?
At Savu’s Tribal Council, Alexis was voted out.
Although Jelly was wavering over whom to eliminate, she decided to stick with her “Helicopter Alliance.”
Still, things got complicated during Dena’s Tribal Council.
Lewis and Kilby used the Extra Votes Maggie gave them, resulting in a tie during the first vote: four votes for Lewis and four for Linnea.
The tribe voted again, and the same result occurred.
Eric, Kilby, Cristian, and Sharonda were then given a chance to discuss the vote.
They needed to unanimously decide who would be voted out.
Otherwise, the four of them would draw rocks to determine who would go home.
Kilby was adamant that he wasn’t changing his vote and was willing to draw rocks.
Eric, Cristian, and Sharonda weren’t willing to take that risk, so they agreed to vote out Linnea, their own alliance member.
It was quite the Tribal Council!
For fans curious about what happens behind the scenes, Jeff Probst previously explained how Survivor votes are tallied and organized.
Survivor 51 Episode 6 Spoilers – Maggie’s Betrayal And Injury Scare
The preview for Episode 6 is out, and Survivor 51 spoilers suggest that tensions will rise at Dena following the vote.
Eric will be very upset about the move Lewis and Kilby pulled.
Meanwhile, at Toka, it seems Brady will be furious with Maggie for some reason.
Could it be her usual antics, or the fact that she gave away their Extra Vote advantage?
Brady helped her find it, and it was technically theirs!
She never asked him about giving it away.
Even though there are only three tribe members left at Savu, they’ll make the best of it by having a little fun and laughter.
Lastly, it appears there could be another injury on the horizon.
Survivor 51 spoilers for Episode 6 show Thien An climbing a makeshift ladder with her tribe around her.
She says, “Catch me if I die,” prompting Maggie to ask, “Isn’t that high?”
Thien An then slips!
It looks like she hits her head against the side of a tree, but it also appears that her tribemates catch her.
Will she be okay?
Fans will have to tune in to find out!
Editor’s Take
I think Maggie made one of the boldest moves of the season by handing over both Extra Votes!
She certainly helped Lewis and Kilby survive Tribal Council, but I can’t imagine Brady being thrilled when he finds out what happened to the advantage they discovered together.
And Lewis deserves some credit for that fake Blood Idol story. It was a risky move, but it definitely created confusion!
I’m also hoping Thien An is okay after that frightening fall in the preview. We’ve already seen enough injuries this season.
Do you think Maggie made the right decision by giving away both Extra Votes? And will Brady turn against her after discovering what she did?
