Survivor Tocantins Episode 4: The Strongest Man Alive



Back at camp after Tribal Council, Coach was angry at Erinn for saying that Brendan was a better leader then himself, but he eventually accepted it and anointed Brendan as tribe leader. At Jalapao, Taj told Stephen about her secret alliance with Brendan and told him that if Jalapao were to win the next Reward Challenge, they would need to choose Sierra to go to Exile Island as she would pick Stephen to go along. However, Brendan could not find the time and privacy to tell Sierra about the alliance. At the Reward Challenge, Brendan, Tyson, and Debra shouldered the weight for Timbira, and JT, Joe, and Taj for Jalapao. Brendan dropped out first when he was about to carry 220 pounds (100 kg). Tyson dropped out next at 140 pounds (64 kg), leaving just Debbie for Timbira. JT carried 220 pounds (100 kg) before dropping out next, tying the weight carried by Rupert Boneham in Survivor: Pearl Islands. Moments later, Joe dropped out at 140 pounds (64 kg), leaving the two women to continue the challenge. Just as both women were to move to carrying 120 pounds (54 kg), Debbie dropped her pole, giving Jalapao their fourth straight challenge victory. In a rare show of sportsmanship for Survivor, Taj congratulated Debbie for a “hell of a job”. Timbira selected Sierra to go to Exile Island, but since Brendan did not tell Sierra of his alliance’s plan, she immediately picked Taj to join her. Joe and JT arrived to raid the Timbira camp and they chose to take Timbira’s larger sack of beans and a can for water. Sandy’s personality and habits started to grate on her tribemates. Sandy was upset at Sydney for flirting too much with the Jalapao men. On Exile Island, Taj got the clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol, which told her it was hidden around the tree mail area. Taj told Sierra about her secret four-way alliance and Sierra readily agreed to join the alliance. At the Immunity Challenge, Timbira broke Jalapao’s winning streak. Before Tribal Council, Jalapao was undecided upon voting Sandy or Sydney out.
