Survivor Samoa Season 19 Episode 14: Two Brains Are Better Than One



Brett and Natalie felt a connection through their shared interest in religion. At the Reward Challenge, the castaways drew stones to be team captains. The captains were Russell H. and Natalie. The two played rock-paper-scissors to choose first in a schoolyard pick to select their teammates, with Natalie winning. Natalie selected Brett and Mick. Russell H. selected Jaison and Shambo. While the challenge was going on, Russell H. noticed Natalie and Brett joining hands for a prayer as “prayer warriors” to help them through the challenge. He commented to Shambo that he suspected that there was a possible alliance going on with Brett and Natalie and that they needed to break it up. The challenge was won by the team of Jaison, Russell H., and Shambo. While on their reward, Jaison told Russell H. agreed to go to the top three together. The winning trio also discussed the possibility of a Natalie/Brett alliance and that they had to put a stop to it immediately by voting out Brett or Mick next. Back at camp, Brett suggested three from the losing team create their own reward by spending the day at the beach hunting for snails. When Russell H. returned back to camp after the reward, he talked with Natalie about her picking of Brett at the Reward Challenge and she reassured him that their alliance from early in the game to go to the final two was still strong. Russell H. was extremely confident in his standing in the game and that he could beat Brett in any challenge, allowing the former Foa Foa to eliminate the last Galu member. Russell H.’s confidence faded when Brett won his second Immunity Challenge in a row. Jaison told Russell H. that Shambo needed to voted out next because she was not good at challenges and the former Foa Foa needed to be at their best in order to prevent Brett from winning any further Immunity Challenges. Jaison quickly walked away without comment when Shambo approached. Russell H. told Shambo that Jaison was upset, that he wanted to vote out Mick, and that Russell H. agreed with the vote. However, Shambo was suspicious that Jaison was hiding something. Russell H. told Mick that Shambo was getting on his nerves and that it was time to vote her out. Mick was surprised at the sudden change in Russell H., but was still suspicious about Russell H.’s motives. At the Tribal Council, Russell H. once again openly wore his Hidden Immunity Idol, but did not use it during his final chance to cash it in.
