Survivor Samoa Season 19 Episode 12: Off With Their Heads!



The tree mail for day 28 contained envelopes full of $500, signaling a Survivor Auction instead of a Reward Challenge, much to the delight of the castaways. Unlike previous Survivor Auctions, money and food could not be shared. Jaison outbid everybody for the sealed container as he wanted to make sure that none of the former Galu members received help at the Immunity Challenge. When John won the bidding on the slice of apple pie, Jeff gave John the option to give up his slice of pie and instead give four other members of the tribe a piece of pie. John declined the offer and kept his slice of pie stating that he hoped the tribe would understand. Russell H. thought the move was as strategic mistake. When the tribe returned to camp, John followed the clue he won for the Hidden Immunity Idol, found the correct spot, but not the Idol. John thought that Russell H. might have already found the Idol. After the Immunity Challenge rules were stated by Jeff, Jaison opened the sealed container he had won at the Survivor Auction. The note inside stated that at any time during the challenge, Jaison may move back two knots on the rope, giving him an advantage as there would be less weight for him to hold versus the others. The Immunity Challenge came down to Jaison versus Dave. Jaison had used his Survivor Auction advantage early in the challenge and was holding onto the rope two knots from the end while Dave was hanging on to bare rope. Dave tried to hold out, but the rope slipped and Jaison took Individual Immunity, thus getting a huge return on his bid at the Survivor Auction. Back at camp, the tribe decided to eat the chickens that they had won at the fourth Reward Challenge, which made Shambo depressed as she had been the chickens’ caretaker. Shambo took over cooking of the chickens and would brook no objections from any of the tribe on her method of boiling the chickens. Since he had won the chickens, Dave thought he was entitled to comment on how the chickens were being cooked, which upset Shambo and she immediately wanted him to be voted out next. That night, Shambo had a dream that the tribe had voted out Dave. She told Russell H. about the dream and he went along with her wish. John talked to Russell H. about their previous deal that one of the former Foa Foa had to go next and Russell H. suggested Mick. John then confronted Russell H. about the missing Hidden Immunity Idol and Russell H. told him that he had it. Russell H. realized later that he had made a mistake in telling John about the Idol and that he needed to get rid of John to cover up the mistake. Russell H. told Dave that he could save him from the next vote if Dave voted for John. Dave agreed and said he would talk to Monica about voting for John. Russell H. then went to talk to Mick about his plan who agreed with the plan, but was concerned that Shambo would not be happy that the former Foa Foa was not following her lead. Mick told Jaison about Russell H.’s plan and Jaison was also very concerned about how Shambo would react and that she would flip sides after feeling slighted by the former Galu Foa Foa members.
