Survivor Tocantins Episode 5: You’re Going to Want that Tooth



The day after Tribal Council at Jalapao, Taj and Stephen found the Hidden Immunity Idol within the statue next to tree mail. Taj gave the idol to Stephen as he had shorts with pockets and was able to conceal the idol. While the rest of Timbira was off fetching water from the river, Sierra told Brendan that she decided to join the Exile Island alliance. Jalapao won the Reward Challenge by a score of 3-1 and chose Brendan to go to Exile Island, who picked Stephen to join him. Midway through enjoying their reward, J.T. found envelopes with letters from home. Back at Timbira, Tyson told Coach and Debbie that he was suspicious that Brendan was making friends or alliances with members of Jalapao and that they should vote out Brendan at the next Tribal Council. On Exile Island, Brendan used the opportunity to cement the secret four-way Exile Island alliance with Stephen, but Stephen was unsure about tying his fate in the game to the secret alliance. Spencer decided to keep his homosexuality a secret from his tribe, thinking that there was nothing to gain by coming out and also that it would conflict with J.T.’s Southern values. Despite J.T. losing half of a tooth and almost singlehandedly winning the Immunity Challenge for his tribe, Tyson and Brendan helped pull off a victory for Timbira. Tempers flared at Jalapao over their performance at the Immunity Challenge, with J.T. upset at Spencer’s poor defense and Taj venting at Joe.
