The Honeymoon is Over

The Honeymoon is Over is the twelfth episode of Survivor: The Amazon.

Day 33 (Night)
The final five return to camp having just unanimously voted Mayson out of the game, leaving the new-Jaburu alliance successfully in tact. The group celebrate their victory together, congratulating one another for being one of the few large alliances to remain loyal to one another until the very end of the game.

Day 34
Fredrick and Neasa collect tree mail, bringing it back to camp where they read it to their fellow tribe members, revealing that the upcoming reward challenge will be the final one of the season.

The group head off in their boat to the reward challenge, excited to see what will be on offer for their final reward challenge of the season.

Challenge: Try Again

The contestants must untie a series of knots to open a gate, flip over seven puzzle pieces and arrange them to form a traditional image, rope swing across a gully, decode a wheel puzzle, grab the corresponding key, unlock a flying fox, and slide down to retrieve the final key.

Reward: A brand-new Saturn Ion, along with a tailgate barbecue lunch.

Winner: Sheamus (shared with Fredrick)

Reward
Sheamus and Fredrick head off in the new Saturn Ion, excited to both be experiencing the final reward of the season. Sheamus pulls up near a small opening, getting out his vehicle before bringing out the barbecue supplies from the boot.

The pair continue eating, going between discussing their admiration for the barbecue, and talk of what they plan to do in the upcoming vote, agreeing that Jenn should be their primary target, with Neasa as the backup should Jenn win immunity.

Jacaré
Back at camp, Isaiah, Jenn and Neasa sit down around the shelter, openly disappointed to both have lost the final reward challenge and to have not been selected by Sheamus to join him at the barbecue lunch.

Neasa and Jenn leave the shelter and head down to the water together, sitting on the riverbank as they discuss their plan for the coming days, realising that if they fail to get someone to flip that their chances of reaching the end are unlikely.

Day 35
Isaiah and Sheamus sit over the fire, rubbing their faces as they struggle to find the energy to continue with normal daily activities. Jenn lays behind them in the shelter, also feeling fatigued after going without basic nutrition for over a month.

Elsewhere, Fredrick and Neasa collect firewood to bring back to camp, which Neasa volunteered to do so that she and Fredrick could have time to talk privately without Isaiah and Sheamus overhearing.

The two laugh and then head back to camp, leaving Fredrick pondering which of the pairs to go with in order to give himself the best chance of reaching the final tribal council.

Day 36
The final five prepare for their next individual immunity challenge, knowing that whoever wins guarantees themselves a spot in what would be the final few days of the game. Both Jenn and Neasa feel nervous, knowing that unless something changes one of them will become the fifth member of the jury.

Challenge: Out On a Limb

The five Survivors must maneuver through a ropes course. There are five obstacles – a rope tunnel, rope swing, disc walk, swing steps, and a V tunnel – each heading outwards from the center. They must retrieve a colored feather at each and hang it around the center pole. First to get all five wins.

Winner: Neasa The group return to camp with Neasa once again wearing the individual immunity necklace, giving her a guaranteed spot in the final four. The group congratulate Neasa, with close friend Jenn also seeming pleased despite her strong beliefs that her fate in the game may now be sealed.

Sheamus takes Neasa to one side, somewhat flirting with her as he compliments her immunity wins. He quietly tells her that Jenn will be going home, and that had she not won he'd still have "protected her" up until the final four. Neasa laughs, telling Sheamus that she will be fine without his protection. The pair briefly kiss, before Sheamus promises to repeat the action when they are separated in the game.

The group begin preparing for tribal council, although only Jenn packs all her belongings, being the only person to majorly feel in danger. Sheamus, Isaiah and Fredrick talk together, agreeing to keep their target on Jenn, and to focus on winning the next immunity challenge so they can become the top three.

As the boys head down to the boat, Neasa grabs Fredrick's arm, whispering to him that they need to go forward with their plan to vote for Sheamus. She reiterates her concerns at Sheamus winning the game automatically, as well as Fredrick having an easier path to win should he go with the girls. Isaiah turns around, forcing the pair to finish their conversation. The group get onto the boat, heading towards tribal council where one of them is about to become the fifth member of the jury.

At tribal council, the group look on as both men on the jury sit with big smiles seeing Neasa wearing the necklace for the third time. Jeff begins by questioning Neasa on her recent wins, asking if it leaves her a threat. She admits that she is a threat in challenges, but questions whether she'd have a chance to win against any of the three boys, feeling as though her social bonds haven't been good with those that currently make up the jury. Jenn talks about being the only person to bring all of her belongings, which she claims is a result of the boys being "comfortable". Isaiah agrees with Jenn's suspicions, confirming that she and Neasa will likely be the next two to go unless Neasa is able to continue winning. When asked about chances to win, the group seem unanimous in pointing out Sheamus' chances, which causes Sheamus to stir, telling Jeff that the compliments are not a positive this late in the game. Fredrick is asked what is more important between friendships and game-play, but he proves unable to answer, stating that it is a "case by case basis", and that whilst he is loyal to some he wouldn't extend the loyalty if it proved futile to his chances of winning. This response causes a slight smile on Neasa's face, although she quickly wipes it off, not wanting to read too heavily into what Fredrick may be revealing. Despite his earlier worries, Fredrick confidently writes down his vote, with the other four doing the same.

Sheamus smiles, trying to hide his surprise at being voted out of the game. He takes a moment before standing, walking over to Jeff whilst trying to register how he has found himself in this position. Isaiah removes his hat, repeatedly shaking his head and looking at Fredrick, who spends his time looking at the fire. Neasa and Jenn both show their delight openly, smiling at Mayson and Hall, who are seen smirking on the jury.

Sheamus departs the tribal council area, leaving the other four in mixed emotions over seeing the biggest threat finally taken out of the game. Jeff explains to the final four that they will now face two further immunity challenges, which will see the last two members of the jury determined at tribal council, leaving two of them to reach the final tribal council. The four grab their torches and head back to camp, with Neasa and Jenn's grinning faces taking much of the attention off the burning anger on Isaiah's face.
