Ep. 21: The Twister Tribes

by Anne for Zalds

Buhawi, Magan's tribe leader was unanimously voted off the game by his tribemates. A day after he left the game, a twist was announced detailing the next part of the game. Magan Tribe will be disbanded and cease to exist and all remaining Castaways will be reshuffled into the two remaining tribes, Sar Mayee and Nagar.

New tribe leaders were to be selected by luck. Each player will pick a stone and whoever got the colored stone will be the tribe's new leader. Red stone for Nagar was drawn by Ahron and the yellow stone was drawn by former Sar Mayee member Akihiro.

Tribe leaders then were to choose members by a school yard pick. Sar Mayee, under Akihiro were to choose first. He chose Aubrey, Ahron of Nagar picked Moi, and the rest are as follows:

Sar Mayee Nagar
Akihiro (TL) Ahron (TL)
Aubrey Moi
Ervic Mico
Elma Solenn
John Ian
Michelle Aira
Trisza Karen

Reward Challenge

Tribes were playing for a reward of relaxation in a form of Thai massage.

Every tribe member must alternately answer trivial questions from their previous challenges, answering the questions right will lead the player to the right key that will unlock the step, a four flight of steps must be unlocked to reach the top platform, there waiting is a totem puzzle inside a locked crate, answer two questions correctly to unlock the crate, gather the pieces of a totem puzzle and build it exactly like the replica provided. The first tribe to correctly assemble the totem wins the reward.

Both tribes were dead even at the start, until a series of incorrect answer left the Nagar tribe behind. Luck seemed to follow former Nagar member John as he made it to the top with quite lead, he then answered the two questions correctly to unlock the crate.

John is already assembling the totem puzzle when Mico of Nagar reaches the top platform and tried to use every key to unlock the crate. A few moments later, John assembles the totem puzzle correctly and claimed their first victory as the new Sar Mayee tribe.

Before the winning tribe gets their reward, Richard announces that each tribe must send a member to "Isla Misteryo". Chosen member from the winning tribe will not take part in their reward. The choices were made and it was Elma from Sar Mayee and Mico from Nagar.

As the tribe of Sar Mayee approaches their camp, John, Nagar's former tribe leader felt great frustration at the site of Sar Mayee’s shelter - if that was to be called one. “Just a bamboo with coconut leaves on top”, John said in his dismay while former Sar Mayee members that are now in Nagar were pleased to have a "real shelter" and a better campsite.

Meanwhile, Mico and Nanay Elma had set foot in "Isla Misteryo". They decided to split and search for what the island could offer to them. Mico was first find the store and the tribal outpost. After learning that the gold coins scattered in the island will allow them to get some items in the store, Elma was then become really eager to find some coins and exchange it for food. Yet her food cravings were abruptly interrupted by Mico as if saying that the food weren't that of worth.
