Day Five

Mablevi Tribe
When Wells brought back the tree-mail on day 5, something seemed to be a little different. He waited however to open the tree mail before he was at the camp, because the package was labeled with “Open only in front of entire tribe.” Once the whole Tribe was together, Trotman opened up the package and began to read aloud. “Directly after you read this, the person on your left must go to the Takiyah Tribe, for they are now part of the Takiyah Tribe. The person on your right must go directly to the Runako camp because they are now part of the Runako tribe.” The person on Trotman’s left was Cameron, and the person on the right was Barry. They left right away after some goodbyes. Soon, two people appeared out of the forest.

Takiyah Tribe
The person to read the tree-mail was Pitman. This time the person on the left must go to Mablevi, and the person on the right must go to Runako. The person heading to Mablevi was Binnington, and the person heading to Runako was Silas. Soon after Pitman finished, Cowin and Cameron reached the camp, clearly excited that they are now on the same tribe.

Runako Tribe
Right before Barry and Silas reached the Runako camp, Jones read the tree-mail. The person who had to go to the Mablevi tribe was Feen. The person who had to go to the Takiyah tribe was Cowin. When Silas reached the Runako camp, Clarke was very excited because he knew Silas very well. Barry did not seem so enthused because he was very much out of his element at the Runako camp.

Immunity Challenge
This first challenge after the merge is a head to head tug of war challenge suspended over water. Each tribe member will compete twice. Takiyah chooses to sit out Feen from Mablevi and Jones from Runako.

Mablevi before Tribal Council
Now that Mablevi lost Cameron and Barry, and gained Binny and Feen, things are a little different at camp. There are two separate factions now: Wilson, Trotman and Barry versus Wells, Dirks and Feen. Clements is in the middle, without any real alliances. A couple different choices were apparent at Mablevi. One, each faction could attempt to sway Clements to vote someone out from the other faction… probably Feen or Wilson. The other option is for both factions to vote for Clements, who really doesn’t care about the game at all, and not cause any problems. The Pickering guys are obviously threatened by Feeney, coming into the tribe with an alliance ready for him in Dirks and Wells, but on the other hand, they could lose every other challenge if they vote someone strong like Feeney off. We will soon find out.

Tribal Council
1st vote: Feen
2nd vote: Clements
3rd vote: Clements
4th vote: Clements
And the fifth person voted out of Survivor Hamilton is… Chris Clements (4 votes are all that was needed)

Chris... you are still my favourite hippie

Next time on Survivor Hamilton... A terrible storm tears apart the island, stranding someone in the ocean.
