Challenge
Immunity Challenge: Obstacle Course

This challenge involved completing the first level of the online game Vex 5. They had to jump over spikes, climb walls and bounce off platforms to get the fastest time possible. The tribe that completed the course in the shortest combined time won immunity.

Winning Tribe:



Day 5:
After Bryson's elimination, Glenn & Rick suspected that Sam wasn't actually in any alliances and wondered what Cam would do now his close ally had gone.

Sam made his first alliance of the game with Muzah where they discussed their votes and correctly assumed the two votes for Sam were from Cam & Bryson. Minko also forms an alliance with Mateja.

The second challenge, the obstacle course, was posted where the tribes had to complete a stage of an online game as fast as possible. Both tribes discovered a secret to cut out part of the course and save some time. Most of the castaways had similar times however Andreea had some issues which meant her time was slower. This resulted in Mahina winning the challenge.

Day 6:
The challenge results are revealed and Papara members go to their alliances to discuss who to vote for. Meanwhile, Mahina have an immunity idol clue hidden in their chat as an extra reward for winning the challenge. Rick finds it and chooses to share with Muzah.

Miguel and Lucius: Miguel says that they should keep strong players as they will be useful in future challenges. They agree to vote for Andreea due to her time being the slowest.

Lucius and Cian: They both agree to vote for Andreea due to her slow time.

Lucius and Minko: Minko initially feels bad for sitting out of the challenge and somewhat responsible for their tribe's loss. He initially doesn't want to vote for Andreea but Lucius managed to convince them that it's the right decision.

Day 7:
Papara went to tribal council and the votes were read. Andreea, Mateja & Minko all received one vote. The remaining votes all went to Andreea, making her the second person to leave Survivor: Tahiti.


 * I am voting for Minko because he hasn't done the challenge.


 * I am voting for Andreea because she had by far the worst performance in the challenge and even though she said her laptop was lagging when she was doing the game, she didn't really try to improve her time at all and wasn't really interested in any help the team could have given her.


 * I am voting for Andreea because of her poor time.


 * Did not vote so the vote was a self-vote.


 * I am voting for Andreea because she didn't help as the others in the last 2 challenges and I haven't talked with her. Summarizing, she's the less strong of the 6 for me.


 * I am voting for Andreea because I can't vote for anyone else, they all did great.
