Survivor: David vs. Goliath
Updated: 12/10/2025, 10:15:33 AM Wikipedia source
Survivor: David vs. Goliath is the 37th season of the American competitive reality television series Survivor. Hosted by Jeff Probst and broadcast by CBS between September 26 and December 19, 2018, the season featured 20 contestants originally divided into two tribes of ten inspired by the biblical figures David and Goliath: the "David" tribe composed of underdogs who have had to overcome adversity throughout their lives, and the "Goliath" tribe consisting of ten overachievers who have leveraged their advantages to succeed in their respective fields. The tribes were switched on day 10 into three tribes of five selected by a random draw; "Jabeni", "Tiva", and "Vuku". On day 19, they merged into a single tribe, "Kalokalo", for the remainder of the game. Filming took place in the Mamanuca Islands of Fiji between March 29 and May 6, 2018, making it the sixth season of Survivor to film in Fiji. Due to Severe Tropical Cyclone Keni striking during the season's filming, the castaways and crew were evacuated for two days, pausing the game. After 39 days, Nick Wilson was named the Sole Survivor, defeating fellow finalists Mike White and Angelina Keeley in a 7–3–0 jury vote and winning a prize of US$1,000,000. The season garnered widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike due to the cast, theme and gameplay. It is generally regarded as one of the show's greatest seasons.

Host Jeff Probst introduced the season's "David vs. Goliath" theme before asking the Goliath tribe to choose who they perceived to be the weakest man and woman from the David tribe and their own two strongest. The tribe chose Christian and Lyrsa as the weakest Davids, and John and Alison as their strongest. These pairs then faced off in a reward challenge for their tribes to win a shelter-making kit. After allowing the David tribe to assign three different tasks for each pair to complete, the David tribe emerged victorious. At the David camp, Pat and Nick emerged as early potential targets as they irritated people by being bossy when building the shelter, and forming alliances over camp work, respectively. Notable early bonds formed: Christian and Gabby, Elizabeth and Lyrsa, and Carl and Davie. On the Goliath tribe, Dan was attracted to Kara, while Natalie caused friction by giving orders without helping. Dan, Kara, and Natalia found a hidden immunity idol together, which Dan kept. Both tribes endured intense rain. In the combined Reward/Immunity Challenge, tribes navigated obstacles, dug under a log, used ladders, pole vaulted, and solved a number puzzle. Goliath narrowly beat David, earning immunity and flint. On the return trip to the David camp, Pat suffered a serious back injury due to rough waters. After a medical evaluation, he was evacuated from the game. Jeff canceled Tribal Council and gave David a flint. A postscript revealed Pat fully recovered after filming concluded.

After a cyclone hit overnight, Jeff Probst provided both tribes with a firemaking kit and tarp. At the David camp, Christian and Nick solidified an alliance, and Davie found a hidden immunity idol. Carl targeted Lyrsa to keep the tribe strong, but Elizabeth warned Lyrsa, prompting her to target Carl instead. On the Goliath tribe, Dan and Kara's budding showmance raised suspicions amongst their tribemates. Jeremy found Dan's idol hidden in his coat and told Mike about it. John tipped Natalie off that she was the tribe's main target in an attempt to align with her. Jeremy then tried to convince Natalie to change her ways, but it only deepened it desire to vote her out. In the Reward/Immunity Challenge, players had to retrieve a key using a ladder, unlock a boat, paddle out for puzzle bags, and then balance a table while solving a block puzzle. Goliath edged out David, winning immunity and a fishing kit. Back at the David camp, Bi and Jessica told Gabby that Lyrsa was the target, but Gabby grew paranoid about the lack of further information. Elizabeth proposed blindsiding Jessica due to her strong social ties to Carl, Bi, and Davie, winning over Gabby and Lyrsa. With Christian and Nick in the middle, they ultimately sided against Jessica and voted her out in a blindside.

At the David camp, Bi blamed Gabby for Jessica's blindside, allowing Nick to deflect attention from himself and strengthen his position. Meanwhile, Christian and Gabby continued to deepen their alliance. Over at Goliath, Jeremy's growing paranoia led him to call a tribal meeting to stop side conversations, further straining his already tense relationship with Natalie. His erratic behavior made Mike and others question his stability within the tribe. In the Reward/Immunity Challenge, one player from each tribe untangled a rope, followed by three teammates working through a larger tangle. Then, two members used ropes to lasso a platform so the final two could complete a four-piece pyramid puzzle. David secured their first immunity win, along with comfort items. However, Bi sprained her MCL during the challenge; although cleared by medical to continue, her injury raised concerns. Back at Goliath, most castaways were prepared to vote out Natalie due to her abrasive demeanor. However, Angelina pushed hard for Jeremy's elimination, arguing he was the more dangerous long-term threat. Her argument swayed the tribe, and at Tribal Council, Jeremy was unanimously voted out, making him the first Goliath member to leave the game.

On Day 10, Bi withdrew from the game due to her MCL injury, fearing long-term damage as an athlete. Immediately after, a tribe swap occurred. The original David and Goliath tribes were shuffled into three new tribes: Vuku (Alec, Davie, Elizabeth, Kara, Natalia), Jabeni (Angelina, Lyrsa, Mike, Natalie, Nick), and Tiva (Alison, Christian, Dan, Gabby, John), with the Goliaths holding a 3–2 majority on all three tribes. Carl drew the odd package and was sent to Exile Island to join the tribe which lost the upcoming immunity challenge. There, he found an idol nullifier—a twist allowing him to block an idol if correctly played. At Vuku, Davie tried recruiting Alec while Elizabeth bonded with Kara, which annoyed Natalia. At Jabeni, Natalie's bossiness persisted, and Nick and Mike formed an alliance. On Tiva, Christian integrated well with Dan and John, while Gabby felt isolated. In the Reward/Immunity Challenge, tribes navigated blindfolded teammates through obstacles and a maze to complete a table maze. Tiva finished first, winning immunity and a pastry/coffee reward, while Jabeni came second, earning immunity. Back at Vuku, Davie exposed Elizabeth targeting Natalia to save himself, which intensified Natalia's paranoia. At Tribal Council, Alec flipped on Natalia, annoyed by her paranoia, joining Davie and Elizabeth to blindside her. Carl then joined Vuku.

The original David and Goliath tribes were shuffled into three new tribes: Vuku (Alec, Davie, Elizabeth, Kara, Natalia), Jabeni (Angelina, Lyrsa, Mike, Natalie, Nick), and Tiva (Alison, Christian, Dan, Gabby, John), with the Goliaths holding a 3–2 majority on all three tribes. Carl drew the odd package and was sent to Exile Island to join the tribe which lost the upcoming immunity challenge. There, he found an idol nullifier—a twist allowing him to block an idol if correctly played. At Vuku, Davie tried recruiting Alec while Elizabeth bonded with Kara, which annoyed Natalia. At Jabeni, Natalie's bossiness persisted, and Nick and Mike formed an alliance. On Tiva, Christian integrated well with Dan and John, while Gabby felt isolated. In the Reward/Immunity Challenge, tribes navigated blindfolded teammates through obstacles and a maze to complete a table maze. Tiva finished first, winning immunity and a pastry/coffee reward, while Jabeni came second, earning immunity. Back at Vuku, Davie exposed Elizabeth targeting Natalia to save himself, which intensified Natalia's paranoia. At Tribal Council, Alec flipped on Natalia, annoyed by her paranoia, joining Davie and Elizabeth to blindside her. Carl then joined Vuku.

Following Natalia's blindside, Kara felt alienated and uncertain about her place in the game. A powerful cyclone forced production to evacuate the castaways, pausing the game. When they returned, all three camps were destroyed. In the Reward Challenge, pairs used poles to knock down sandbags and then launched them into baskets with a slingshot. Vuku placed first, earning chickens, and Jabeni came second, winning a dozen eggs. Tensions arose at Jabeni when Natalie and Lyrsa argued over how to cook the eggs. At Vuku, Kara threw Alec under the bus to the former Davids, causing Elizabeth to mistrust Kara. On Tiva, Dan, John, and Christian solidified an alliance called the "Brochachos". Dan later found a clue to a hidden immunity idol stashed at the immunity challenge, which involved raising a ladder, using a rope to close a bridge, sliding down a fireman's pole, and finishing with a vertical snake maze. Vuku and Tiva won immunity, and Dan successfully retrieved the hidden idol undetected. At Jabeni, the Goliaths planned to vote out Lyrsa, but when Angelina and Natalie asked Nick or Lyrsa for a jacket in exchange for safety, Nick took offense. He and Lyrsa approached Mike, convincing him to flip. At Tribal Council, Mike cast the deciding vote, sending Natalie home.

The next day, Angelina admitted her vote against Lyrsa was a ploy to get Natalie's jacket, which backfired and turned the tribe against her. At Tiva, Christian unsuccessfully tried to catch fish. In the Reward Challenge, one player was strapped to a coconut-filled bag while teammates carried it through a beach obstacle course. The strapped player retrieved rings and later tossed them onto pegs. Tiva won first place, earning cooking utensils, spices, and kebabs. Jabeni finished in second, winning two kebabs. At Tiva, Gabby opened up to Alison about feeling on the outs, sparking a bond. Over at Vuku, Elizabeth's back pain worsened due to the bamboo shelter. Her efforts to resolve the situation clashed with Carl and Davie, creating tension. In the Immunity Challenge, tribes used a giant saucer to transport water and release puzzle pieces. Tiva and Vuku easily secured immunity, while Jabeni lagged far behind. Back at camp, Angelina targeted Lyrsa after she showed reluctance to work with her. Lyrsa tried flipping Mike, while Angelina worked on Nick. Ultimately, Mike and Nick stuck with Angelina, and Lyrsa was voted out, giving the Goliaths a clear majority heading into the merge.

On day 18, the tribes merged on Tiva beach. Carl told Angelina that Alec had flipped on Natalia. Dan and Kara were reunited, and many Goliaths wanted to stick to original tribal lines. Angelina also pushed for Christian's elimination, seeing him as the Davids' leader. Alec formed a secret cross-tribe alliance, dubbed the "Strike Force," consisting of himself, Alison, and Mike from Goliath, and Christian, Gabby, and Nick from David. Meanwhile, Elizabeth grew irritated with Dan and Kara's late-night whispering and floated the idea of blindsiding Dan to Alec, who immediately told Dan, turning him against her. In the Immunity Challenge, castaways had to keep a pendulum swinging while balancing on a beam. Alison won immunity. With Elizabeth vulnerable, Dan pushed the Goliaths to revert their target back to her. Angelina continued to push for Christian, but her tribemates dismissed her idea. Frustrated, Angelina told Elizabeth she was being targeted, which backfired when Elizabeth exposed it to Gabby. At Tribal Council, Angelina was put on the spot for transparently trying to manage the future jury. Despite the tension, the majority stuck together, and Elizabeth was unanimously voted out, becoming the first member of the jury.

After Elizabeth's elimination, Angelina falsely claimed that Elizabeth had approached her about the vote, but the others didn't believe her. The next day, Nick and Davie found a clue to an advantage, which Nick retrieved with Carl's help. It allowed Nick to steal another player's vote at a future Tribal Council. Carl also revealed his idol nullifier to the other Davids, though Davie kept his own idol secret. In the Reward Challenge, the tribe was split into two teams of six, each member holding a weighted sandbag. As players dropped out, others had to take on more weight. Alec, Alison, Christian, Gabby, John, and Nick won the challenge and enjoyed pizza back at camp. During the reward, Mike rallied Goliaths to target Christian, frustrating Angelina, who felt her earlier warnings were ignored due to sexism. In the Immunity Challenge, castaways balanced on small perches while holding buoys with sticks. Dan won immunity. Alec warned Nick that Christian was the target, prompting the Davids to consider using their advantages to save him. At Tribal Council, The Goliaths voted for Christian while the Davids split their votes between Angelina and John. Davie played his idol for Christian. Angelina, panicked, convinced Dan to play his idol for her. With all Goliath votes nullified, John was eliminated and sent him to the jury.

Following John's blindside, Alec, Alison, and Kara strategized on the beach, which left Dan feeling excluded. After a disagreement, Kara began distancing herself from Dan. In the Reward Challenge, two teams of five competed in an obstacle course, combination lock, and snake puzzle to win burgers and beverages. Alec, Dan, Davie, Kara, and Mike won. While they enjoyed the feast, Gabby tried to turn Alison against Dan, while Mike affirmed his desire to stay loyal to the Goliaths. Back at camp, the Davids searched for a new idol at dawn, and Christian successfully found one. During the Immunity Challenge, castaways had to cross balance beams while balancing a ball on a paddle and guide the ball down a track into a hole. Alec won immunity. Kara attempted to convince the Davids to join a split vote between Angelina and Dan, hoping to shake up the Goliath majority. However, Alison stuck with the Goliaths' plan to eliminate Christian. As the Davids planned their counterattack, they considered using all three of their advantages: Nick's vote steal, Carl's idol nullifier, and Christian's idol. At Tribal Council, Nick stole Alison's vote. Alec and Kara turned on their alliance by voting for Angelina. Dan played his idol, but Carl's nullifier voided it. With Dan unprotected, the Davids' six votes sent him to the jury.

After Carl's blindside, Nick felt betrayed by Christian. The next morning, the castaways were reunited with their loved ones before the Reward Challenge, in which randomly paired castaways raced through water and dug for keys to release balls. Angelina and Nick won and chose Davie and Mike to join them for a barbecue with their loved ones. During the reward, the four discussed a Final 4 alliance, but Davie was concerned over his standing in it. Back at camp, Gabby sought to play a more independent game and conspired with Alison and Kara to blindside Christian. In the Immunity Challenge, castaways balanced on a perch while stabilizing a bucket with a pole. Kara won immunity. Christian targeted Alison, unaware that Gabby was targeting him. Gabby tried to recruit Nick and Davie, and while Nick agreed, Davie tipped Christian off. Concerned Christian might play an idol, Mike pitched a backup plan to vote out Gabby, which Nick supported after confirming Christian had an idol. At Tribal Council, Christian played his idol and negated five votes. With the split-vote plan in place, Mike and Angelina's backup votes sent Gabby to the jury.

Nick planted a fake idol and staged its discovery in front of Angelina, Mike, and Christian to discourage them from looking for the real one. Davie was leery of Nick's ruse and searched for an idol himself. He also told Christian that Nick possibly had two idols and that he planned to blindside Nick. In the Reward Challenge, castaways raced through rope obstacles and hurled sandbags at a tower. Davie won and chose Nick and Kara to join him. Upset at being left behind, Angelina cooked the tribe's remaining rice out of spite. During the reward, Davie pitched a plan to Kara to target Nick and bring in Alison and Christian. Kara shared the idea with Alison, who then told Mike, who was hesitant about betraying Nick. Davie later found an idol only good for the next Tribal Council and chose not to wager his vote to extend it. In the Immunity Challenge, castaways balanced balls on a disc while standing on a log. Mike won immunity. While Nick wanted Alison gone, Mike still targeted Christian. Nick told Davie the raft idol was fake and agreed to vote Alison, but Mike revealed Davie's earlier betrayal. At Tribal Council, Davie and Nick both played idols, but Christian was blindsided and sent to the jury with three votes.

The morning after Christian's blindside, Angelina found a clue to a hidden immunity idol atop a rock. She dropped the clue and was unable to retrieve the idol. In a Reward/Immunity Challenge, Nick won and chose to take Angelina and Mike on the reward. There, Mike and Nick helped Angelina get her idol. Angelina later coldly informed Alison she was the next target. However, Mike swayed Angelina to blindside Davie, citing him as a jury threat. At Tribal Council, Davie was sent to the jury, leaving Nick furious with Mike and Angelina. In the next Immunity Challenge, Nick won again. Angelina devised a plan to fake an idol for Alison while playing her real one for drama. Kara pushed to vote out Mike, and Alison supported the move. However, at Tribal Council, Alison was voted out. In the final Immunity Challenge, Nick won yet again, and decided to take Angelina to the end. Mike beat Kara in fire-making, solidifying the final three. At Final Tribal Council, Angelina touted her manipulation and rice negotiation but was criticized for constantly bringing it up. Mike emphasized his social game and strategic control, which he was praised for, but was criticised for his inactivity around camp. Nick shared his emotional journey and underdog strategy and was praised for his strategic game and immunity wins.

| 541 | 1 | "Appearances are Deceiving" | 1.7/7 | N/A | September 26, 2018 (2018-09-26) | 7.83 | |
| Host Jeff Probst introduced the season's "David vs. Goliath" theme before asking the Goliath tribe to choose who they perceived to be the weakest man and woman from the David tribe and their own two strongest. The tribe chose Christian and Lyrsa as the weakest Davids, and John and Alison as their strongest. These pairs then faced off in a reward challenge for their tribes to win a shelter-making kit. After allowing the David tribe to assign three different tasks for each pair to complete, the David tribe emerged victorious. At the David camp, Pat and Nick emerged as early potential targets as they irritated people by being bossy when building the shelter, and forming alliances over camp work, respectively. Notable early bonds formed: Christian and Gabby, Elizabeth and Lyrsa, and Carl and Davie. On the Goliath tribe, Dan was attracted to Kara, while Natalie caused friction by giving orders without helping. Dan, Kara, and Natalia found a hidden immunity idol together, which Dan kept. Both tribes endured intense rain. In the combined Reward/Immunity Challenge, tribes navigated obstacles, dug under a log, used ladders, pole vaulted, and solved a number puzzle. Goliath narrowly beat David, earning immunity and flint. On the return trip to the David camp, Pat suffered a serious back injury due to rough waters. After a medical evaluation, he was evacuated from the game. Jeff canceled Tribal Council and gave David a flint. A postscript revealed Pat fully recovered after filming concluded. | |||||||
| 542 | 2 | "The Chicken Has Flown the Coop" | 1.5/7 | N/A | October 3, 2018 (2018-10-03) | 7.27 | |
| After a cyclone hit overnight, Jeff Probst provided both tribes with a firemaking kit and tarp. At the David camp, Christian and Nick solidified an alliance, and Davie found a hidden immunity idol. Carl targeted Lyrsa to keep the tribe strong, but Elizabeth warned Lyrsa, prompting her to target Carl instead. On the Goliath tribe, Dan and Kara's budding showmance raised suspicions amongst their tribemates. Jeremy found Dan's idol hidden in his coat and told Mike about it. John tipped Natalie off that she was the tribe's main target in an attempt to align with her. Jeremy then tried to convince Natalie to change her ways, but it only deepened it desire to vote her out. In the Reward/Immunity Challenge, players had to retrieve a key using a ladder, unlock a boat, paddle out for puzzle bags, and then balance a table while solving a block puzzle. Goliath edged out David, winning immunity and a fishing kit. Back at the David camp, Bi and Jessica told Gabby that Lyrsa was the target, but Gabby grew paranoid about the lack of further information. Elizabeth proposed blindsiding Jessica due to her strong social ties to Carl, Bi, and Davie, winning over Gabby and Lyrsa. With Christian and Nick in the middle, they ultimately sided against Jessica and voted her out in a blindside. | |||||||
| 543 | 3 | "I Am Goliath Strong" | 1.6/7 | 19 | October 10, 2018 (2018-10-10) | 7.65 | |
| At the David camp, Bi blamed Gabby for Jessica's blindside, allowing Nick to deflect attention from himself and strengthen his position. Meanwhile, Christian and Gabby continued to deepen their alliance. Over at Goliath, Jeremy's growing paranoia led him to call a tribal meeting to stop side conversations, further straining his already tense relationship with Natalie. His erratic behavior made Mike and others question his stability within the tribe. In the Reward/Immunity Challenge, one player from each tribe untangled a rope, followed by three teammates working through a larger tangle. Then, two members used ropes to lasso a platform so the final two could complete a four-piece pyramid puzzle. David secured their first immunity win, along with comfort items. However, Bi sprained her MCL during the challenge; although cleared by medical to continue, her injury raised concerns. Back at Goliath, most castaways were prepared to vote out Natalie due to her abrasive demeanor. However, Angelina pushed hard for Jeremy's elimination, arguing he was the more dangerous long-term threat. Her argument swayed the tribe, and at Tribal Council, Jeremy was unanimously voted out, making him the first Goliath member to leave the game. | |||||||
| 544 | 4 | "Time to Bring About the Charmpocalypse" | 1.4/6 | 22 | October 17, 2018 (2018-10-17) | 7.21 | |
| On Day 10, Bi withdrew from the game due to her MCL injury, fearing long-term damage as an athlete. Immediately after, a tribe swap occurred. The original David and Goliath tribes were shuffled into three new tribes: Vuku (Alec, Davie, Elizabeth, Kara, Natalia), Jabeni (Angelina, Lyrsa, Mike, Natalie, Nick), and Tiva (Alison, Christian, Dan, Gabby, John), with the Goliaths holding a 3–2 majority on all three tribes. Carl drew the odd package and was sent to Exile Island to join the tribe which lost the upcoming immunity challenge. There, he found an idol nullifier—a twist allowing him to block an idol if correctly played. At Vuku, Davie tried recruiting Alec while Elizabeth bonded with Kara, which annoyed Natalia. At Jabeni, Natalie's bossiness persisted, and Nick and Mike formed an alliance. On Tiva, Christian integrated well with Dan and John, while Gabby felt isolated. In the Reward/Immunity Challenge, tribes navigated blindfolded teammates through obstacles and a maze to complete a table maze. Tiva finished first, winning immunity and a pastry/coffee reward, while Jabeni came second, earning immunity. Back at Vuku, Davie exposed Elizabeth targeting Natalia to save himself, which intensified Natalia's paranoia. At Tribal Council, Alec flipped on Natalia, annoyed by her paranoia, joining Davie and Elizabeth to blindside her. Carl then joined Vuku. | |||||||
| 545 | 5 | "Jackets and Eggs" | 1.5/6 | 23 | October 24, 2018 (2018-10-24) | 7.37 | |
| Following Natalia's blindside, Kara felt alienated and uncertain about her place in the game. A powerful cyclone forced production to evacuate the castaways, pausing the game. When they returned, all three camps were destroyed. In the Reward Challenge, pairs used poles to knock down sandbags and then launched them into baskets with a slingshot. Vuku placed first, earning chickens, and Jabeni came second, winning a dozen eggs. Tensions arose at Jabeni when Natalie and Lyrsa argued over how to cook the eggs. At Vuku, Kara threw Alec under the bus to the former Davids, causing Elizabeth to mistrust Kara. On Tiva, Dan, John, and Christian solidified an alliance called the "Brochachos". Dan later found a clue to a hidden immunity idol stashed at the immunity challenge, which involved raising a ladder, using a rope to close a bridge, sliding down a fireman's pole, and finishing with a vertical snake maze. Vuku and Tiva won immunity, and Dan successfully retrieved the hidden idol undetected. At Jabeni, the Goliaths planned to vote out Lyrsa, but when Angelina and Natalie asked Nick or Lyrsa for a jacket in exchange for safety, Nick took offense. He and Lyrsa approached Mike, convincing him to flip. At Tribal Council, Mike cast the deciding vote, sending Natalie home. | |||||||
| 546 | 6 | "Aren't Brochachos Just Adorable?" | 1.3/6 | 24 | October 31, 2018 (2018-10-31) | 7.06 | |
| The next day, Angelina admitted her vote against Lyrsa was a ploy to get Natalie's jacket, which backfired and turned the tribe against her. At Tiva, Christian unsuccessfully tried to catch fish. In the Reward Challenge, one player was strapped to a coconut-filled bag while teammates carried it through a beach obstacle course. The strapped player retrieved rings and later tossed them onto pegs. Tiva won first place, earning cooking utensils, spices, and kebabs. Jabeni finished in second, winning two kebabs. At Tiva, Gabby opened up to Alison about feeling on the outs, sparking a bond. Over at Vuku, Elizabeth's back pain worsened due to the bamboo shelter. Her efforts to resolve the situation clashed with Carl and Davie, creating tension. In the Immunity Challenge, tribes used a giant saucer to transport water and release puzzle pieces. Tiva and Vuku easily secured immunity, while Jabeni lagged far behind. Back at camp, Angelina targeted Lyrsa after she showed reluctance to work with her. Lyrsa tried flipping Mike, while Angelina worked on Nick. Ultimately, Mike and Nick stuck with Angelina, and Lyrsa was voted out, giving the Goliaths a clear majority heading into the merge. | |||||||
| 547 | 7 | "There's Gonna Be Tears Shed" | 1.6/7 | 15 | November 7, 2018 (2018-11-07) | 7.69 | |
| On day 18, the tribes merged on Tiva beach. Carl told Angelina that Alec had flipped on Natalia. Dan and Kara were reunited, and many Goliaths wanted to stick to original tribal lines. Angelina also pushed for Christian's elimination, seeing him as the Davids' leader. Alec formed a secret cross-tribe alliance, dubbed the "Strike Force," consisting of himself, Alison, and Mike from Goliath, and Christian, Gabby, and Nick from David. Meanwhile, Elizabeth grew irritated with Dan and Kara's late-night whispering and floated the idea of blindsiding Dan to Alec, who immediately told Dan, turning him against her. In the Immunity Challenge, castaways had to keep a pendulum swinging while balancing on a beam. Alison won immunity. With Elizabeth vulnerable, Dan pushed the Goliaths to revert their target back to her. Angelina continued to push for Christian, but her tribemates dismissed her idea. Frustrated, Angelina told Elizabeth she was being targeted, which backfired when Elizabeth exposed it to Gabby. At Tribal Council, Angelina was put on the spot for transparently trying to manage the future jury. Despite the tension, the majority stuck together, and Elizabeth was unanimously voted out, becoming the first member of the jury. | |||||||
| 548 | 8 | "You Get What You Give" | 1.4/6 | 25 | November 14, 2018 (2018-11-14) | 7.20 | |
| After Elizabeth's elimination, Angelina falsely claimed that Elizabeth had approached her about the vote, but the others didn't believe her. The next day, Nick and Davie found a clue to an advantage, which Nick retrieved with Carl's help. It allowed Nick to steal another player's vote at a future Tribal Council. Carl also revealed his idol nullifier to the other Davids, though Davie kept his own idol secret. In the Reward Challenge, the tribe was split into two teams of six, each member holding a weighted sandbag. As players dropped out, others had to take on more weight. Alec, Alison, Christian, Gabby, John, and Nick won the challenge and enjoyed pizza back at camp. During the reward, Mike rallied Goliaths to target Christian, frustrating Angelina, who felt her earlier warnings were ignored due to sexism. In the Immunity Challenge, castaways balanced on small perches while holding buoys with sticks. Dan won immunity. Alec warned Nick that Christian was the target, prompting the Davids to consider using their advantages to save him. At Tribal Council, The Goliaths voted for Christian while the Davids split their votes between Angelina and John. Davie played his idol for Christian. Angelina, panicked, convinced Dan to play his idol for her. With all Goliath votes nullified, John was eliminated and sent him to the jury. | |||||||
| 549 | 9 | "Breadth-First Search" | 1.3/6 | 18 | November 21, 2018 (2018-11-21) | 7.09 | |
| Following John's blindside, Alec, Alison, and Kara strategized on the beach, which left Dan feeling excluded. After a disagreement, Kara began distancing herself from Dan. In the Reward Challenge, two teams of five competed in an obstacle course, combination lock, and snake puzzle to win burgers and beverages. Alec, Dan, Davie, Kara, and Mike won. While they enjoyed the feast, Gabby tried to turn Alison against Dan, while Mike affirmed his desire to stay loyal to the Goliaths. Back at camp, the Davids searched for a new idol at dawn, and Christian successfully found one. During the Immunity Challenge, castaways had to cross balance beams while balancing a ball on a paddle and guide the ball down a track into a hole. Alec won immunity. Kara attempted to convince the Davids to join a split vote between Angelina and Dan, hoping to shake up the Goliath majority. However, Alison stuck with the Goliaths' plan to eliminate Christian. As the Davids planned their counterattack, they considered using all three of their advantages: Nick's vote steal, Carl's idol nullifier, and Christian's idol. At Tribal Council, Nick stole Alison's vote. Alec and Kara turned on their alliance by voting for Angelina. Dan played his idol, but Carl's nullifier voided it. With Dan unprotected, the Davids' six votes sent him to the jury. | |||||||
| 550 | 10 | "Tribal Lines Are Blurred" | 1.6/7 | 18 | November 28, 2018 (2018-11-28) | 7.60 | |
| After the vote, Angelina vowed revenge on the Goliaths who voted against her. Nick and Davie woke early to search for a new idol; Nick found a clue and retrieved it that night. In the Reward Challenge, two teams of five raced across a rope bridge and tossed poles onto rungs. Alec, Alison, Christian, Gabby, and Mike won a picnic with wine and letters from home. At camp, Carl openly targeted Alec for being a challenge threat, which annoyed Gabby. Christian outlasted Alec in the Immunity Challenge after five hours. Though Christian and Gabby considered flipping on Carl, Alec was unanimously voted out at Tribal Council. Afterward, Christian comforted Alison, who was emotional over Alec's elimination. In the next Reward Challenge, two teams of four competed in a swimming and buoy retrieval course. Carl, Davie, Kara, and Mike won an afternoon cruise. At camp, Gabby began plotting Carl's elimination with Christian and Alison. That night, Carl planned to mislead Gabby about the vote, while Kara privately turned against him. With rice running low, Angelina offered Jeff an overzealous trade for more, which the tribe accepted despite not being consulted. In the Immunity Challenge, Davie narrowly beat Alison. Jeff offered rice if one castaway sat out, which Angelina did. At Tribal Council, Gabby and Christian made their move against Carl. Mike was the swing vote and sided with them, sending Carl to the jury. | |||||||
| 551 | 11 | "So Smart They're Dumb" | 1.5/7 | 18 | December 5, 2018 (2018-12-05) | 7.51 | |
| After Carl's blindside, Nick felt betrayed by Christian. The next morning, the castaways were reunited with their loved ones before the Reward Challenge, in which randomly paired castaways raced through water and dug for keys to release balls. Angelina and Nick won and chose Davie and Mike to join them for a barbecue with their loved ones. During the reward, the four discussed a Final 4 alliance, but Davie was concerned over his standing in it. Back at camp, Gabby sought to play a more independent game and conspired with Alison and Kara to blindside Christian. In the Immunity Challenge, castaways balanced on a perch while stabilizing a bucket with a pole. Kara won immunity. Christian targeted Alison, unaware that Gabby was targeting him. Gabby tried to recruit Nick and Davie, and while Nick agreed, Davie tipped Christian off. Concerned Christian might play an idol, Mike pitched a backup plan to vote out Gabby, which Nick supported after confirming Christian had an idol. At Tribal Council, Christian played his idol and negated five votes. With the split-vote plan in place, Mike and Angelina's backup votes sent Gabby to the jury. | |||||||
| 552 | 12 | "Are You Feeling Lucky?" | 1.5/7 | 12 | December 12, 2018 (2018-12-12) | 7.77 | |
| Nick planted a fake idol and staged its discovery in front of Angelina, Mike, and Christian to discourage them from looking for the real one. Davie was leery of Nick's ruse and searched for an idol himself. He also told Christian that Nick possibly had two idols and that he planned to blindside Nick. In the Reward Challenge, castaways raced through rope obstacles and hurled sandbags at a tower. Davie won and chose Nick and Kara to join him. Upset at being left behind, Angelina cooked the tribe's remaining rice out of spite. During the reward, Davie pitched a plan to Kara to target Nick and bring in Alison and Christian. Kara shared the idea with Alison, who then told Mike, who was hesitant about betraying Nick. Davie later found an idol only good for the next Tribal Council and chose not to wager his vote to extend it. In the Immunity Challenge, castaways balanced balls on a disc while standing on a log. Mike won immunity. While Nick wanted Alison gone, Mike still targeted Christian. Nick told Davie the raft idol was fake and agreed to vote Alison, but Mike revealed Davie's earlier betrayal. At Tribal Council, Davie and Nick both played idols, but Christian was blindsided and sent to the jury with three votes. | |||||||
| 553 | 13 | "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" | 1.5/7 | 6 | December 19, 2018 (2018-12-19) | 7.72 | |
| The morning after Christian's blindside, Angelina found a clue to a hidden immunity idol atop a rock. She dropped the clue and was unable to retrieve the idol. In a Reward/Immunity Challenge, Nick won and chose to take Angelina and Mike on the reward. There, Mike and Nick helped Angelina get her idol. Angelina later coldly informed Alison she was the next target. However, Mike swayed Angelina to blindside Davie, citing him as a jury threat. At Tribal Council, Davie was sent to the jury, leaving Nick furious with Mike and Angelina. In the next Immunity Challenge, Nick won again. Angelina devised a plan to fake an idol for Alison while playing her real one for drama. Kara pushed to vote out Mike, and Alison supported the move. However, at Tribal Council, Alison was voted out. In the final Immunity Challenge, Nick won yet again, and decided to take Angelina to the end. Mike beat Kara in fire-making, solidifying the final three. At Final Tribal Council, Angelina touted her manipulation and rice negotiation but was criticized for constantly bringing it up. Mike emphasized his social game and strategic control, which he was praised for, but was criticised for his inactivity around camp. Nick shared his emotional journey and underdog strategy and was praised for his strategic game and immunity wins. | |||||||
