Survivor Tocantins Episode 12: The Ultimate Sacrifice



Upon returning to camp after Tribal Council, Coach was livid about Erinn and Taj voting for Stephen and Debbie, respectively, at the last Tribal Council. He talked to Debbie about targeting Erinn and Taj next, with Taj to go first. On the morning of day 31, Debbie woke up feeling that she needed move away from her alliance with Coach and told J.T. and Stephen that she wanted an alliance with them. However, Stephen was worried that she was just playing the game instead of wanting a real alliance. Instead of a Reward Challenge, a Survivor Auction was held. On the last item up for bid, Jeff presented a Samsung Instinct loaded with a video message from loved ones at home and announced that the usual Survivor Auction rules would be suspended and that the castaways could pool their money in order to get one of the castaways to win. Everybody gave their remaining money to Taj so that she could win the item uncontested. At the very end of the video message, Eddie George, Taj’s husband said that he would see them back at camp. After pointing out the last line in the video, Jeff told Taj that only Eddie would be back at camp, but if Taj offered to go to Exile Island where Eddie would join her, the other castaways’ loved ones would be at the campsite. She immediately accepted the offer. Back at camp, the castaways were joined by Coach’s assistant coach, Debbie’s husband, Erinn’s father, J.T.’s younger sister, and Stephen’s brother. After the loved ones had left, the game resumed on the morning of day 32 with Debbie continuing to push her allegiance to J.T. and Stephen, even so far as promising to give the final Individual Immunity to one of them should she win it and they make it to the final three, but they continued to be suspicious of her promises. After J.T. and Stephen told Erinn of this offer, Erinn said that Debbie had to go next. Coach pushed the idea of voting out Taj to prevent the Hidden Immunity Idol from being played. At the Immunity Challenge, Stephen was way behind the others, so he tried to remember all ten symbols in one pass, while the others needed multiple trips to try to remember the symbols. Stephen’s memory technique did not fail him and he was able to come from behind to win Individual Immunity for the first time.
