It’s the worst-case scenario for some contestants in this week’s episodes of Australian Survivor! Warning, this article will contain spoilers for Australian Survivor: Blood V Water Episodes 19-20, so if you have not yet seen these episodes, you have been warned.
The episode starts with the contestants reacting to Shay, Jordie, and KJ returning from purgatory. The majority alliance hopes to pick them all off once again. However, Jordie is still looking for any cracks that he can find in the alliance.
At the reward challenge, it is the Survivor Auction. In this, the castaways have $500 to bid on anything they see. They cannot share money or rewards. The rewards can be food items or even advantages in the game. The majority alliance attempts to conspire against the minority alliance to make sure they don’t get an advantage. This is unsuccessful, however, as KJ finds a note under a teapot she bought. Shay also gets a letter from home, however, she chooses to let the others get their letters. In Josh’s letter, he learns that he is going to be a father.
KJ’s note is a clue to an advantage that is hidden near the well. The advantage allows KJ to send three people back to camp at Tribal Council. Jordie also continues to sway people to their side.
At the immunity challenge, the contestants must retrieve bags of puzzle pieces to solve an incredibly difficult stacking puzzle. Most of the cast struggles, however, Josh is able to come out on top, making himself immune at the next Tribal Council.
Back at camp, KJ chooses not to tell anyone about her advantage until Tribal. Mark and Sam decide to leave both idols at camp just in case one of them gets voted off. If one does get voted off then the other will still come back to camp with both idols.
