Call This Justice

Call This Justice is the seventh episode of Survivor: Africa.

Day 18 (Night)
The three remaining members of the Samburu tribe return to camp, having just blindsided Kris from the game, keeping outcast Adela due to her proposition that she could provide Soledad and Mary with new allies come merge. Adela appears to be shaken, in total shock that the two girls kept her over Kris. Mary hugs Adela, whilst Soledad stands over the fire, attempting to keep it going for the night.

Boran
The Boran tribe sit around camp, all confused as to why no tribe mail has been delivered, having all expected to hear about the merge. Don tells the tribe that they must not be merging, and that they need to return to camp life. "boran"

- The whole tribe got their hopes up about a merge happening, and when we didn't hear about it in the tree mail they all sat around dumbfounded. I told them to get the hell over themselves and that work needed to be done. These young kids don't understand how the fire gets there, or how we keep the animals out... its not by sitting around waiting for a new colored buff.

David and Luigino both sit and talk for several moments longer, with David telling Luigino that he is feeling emotionally know, stating that Adela is likely out of the game, leaving them will little option but to go with Phillis' alliance at the merge. Luigino tells David that they need to accept that as their option, and after they vote out Marsha they can figure out their plan of action. "boran"

- It really does hit me hard knowing that Adela is probably out of the game now, and that we might not even be merging. Phillis gets on both mine and Luigino's nerves, but we're aware that she's our only option right now. I'm hoping that after voting out Marsha and another ex-Boran member that I can turn the vote on Phillis, before trying to take control of the tribe. I realize this is going to be difficult, especially considering I have to count on Ingrid's vote during all of this... She's not exactly someone who I'm close with out here, and its apparent that she'd rather play nanny than Survivor.

The entire tribe begins working around camp, all feeling down about the prospect of the merge occurring late. As the temperature increases, and the sun beams down on the unprotected Boran camp, the group begin to feel dehydration setting in. "boran"

- We worked for hours, and the sun just cooked us. I looked over at the others hoping someone would call a break... but no one did... we just kept working, and working, and working...

As Don climbs on the tribes barrier to add new branches, he suddenly falls backwards, hitting the ground hard behind him. The entire tribe rush to his side, checking to see if their eldest member is ok. Don isn't responsive, and his eyes appear to have rolled back in his head. The medical team is called in, getting Don's tribe to move to one side, giving them space to check him over. "boran"

- When I saw medical coming in I feared the worst. Don is an old man and we cant forget that, I mean he is a tough guy, but it doesn't take away from the fact he is extremely vulnerable out here... more so than the rest of us.

"boran"

- Don is always workin'. You know always saying how he needs to get stuff done. He needs to take it easy because clearly he's struggling out here. I think it would be the worst thing to see him pulled from the game because of an injury... He took a nasty fall and he's lucky to be ok.

Medical rule that Don is extremely dehydrated, and that his blood pressure has dropped dramatically. They inform him that in order to keep his health sufficient, that he should rest for the remainder of the day, or else he could possibly find him blacking out again, leading to his potential evacuation from the game. "boran"

- It isn't fun being told to sit down and to watch everyone else work around you. I suppose that's the part of me that doesn't want to feel old. It's horrible losing the ability to work at the level you once could, but I need to accept it for now.

The tribe stop working after Don's fall, deciding instead to cook some corn, and to relax for the remainder of the evening, hoping that tomorrow will bring news of the much anticipated merge.

Samburu
The Samburu tribe (similarly to Boran) are shocked to see that they haven't received any tree mail, causing the group to believe that the merge will not be occurring day 19 like they had predicted.

Boran
The tribe awakens to tree mail, which has been collected by Don and David. The two men anticipate the mail will inform them of a merge, but are bitterly disappointed to see it is simply concerning their next immunity challenge, which it states will occur later that day. "boran"

- Another hit to the gut... Immunity... I suppose we're not merging yet, and this game will continue to play in old Borans favor.

"boran"

- It disgusts me that we're under the impression that the merge happens on day nineteen... Yet here we are day twenty still waiting for a sign that this game will become interesting.

"boran"

- Another immunity challenge, I'm hoping that there's a twist. I wouldn't mind seeing the tribes get shaken up again... That would be a shock. Maybe the merge wont ever come this season (laughs) Jeff did tell us to be ready for anything.

Samburu
The tribe awakens to the same tree mail that Boran received, shocking the girls that immunity is occurring as opposed to reward or a merge. The girls quickly get ready to leave, all wanting to find out what is going on, having grown tired of sitting at camp with little company to keep them entertained.

Immunity
The Boran tribe arrives to the challenge area, awaiting the arrival of the dwindling Samburu tribe. Jeff calls out to the Samburu tribe, ordering them to "come on in".

Adela smiles over to her old tribe mates, whilst Jeff questions the shocked faces on the Boran tribe. Phillis tells Jeff that she is shocked at Kris' departure, and states that she "always knew Boran had a few snakes in its midst", before looking over to Soledad and Mary. Soledad replies by stating that "its all in the game", telling Jeff that their tribe is now stronger and ready to win its first immunity challenge. Jeff tells the tribe that they wont need to worry about winning the challenge, as the game "is about to change again".

Adela runs over to her old tribe mates, hugging David first, before greeting the others one by one. Mary and Marsha hug one another, happy to be reunited after several days apart. Soledad hugs Don, who somewhat hugs her back, before she is blanked by Phillis, who seems bitter about Kris' elimination.

Jeff informs the group that they will be facing their first individual immunity challenge, in which they all must hold an arm above their head, which is connected to a bucket full of water, and that if they move their arm, the bucket will tip, and they'll be out of the challenge. Jeff also informs the tribe that he will tempt them with food throughout the challenge, and that if they want the food all they have to do is sacrifice immunity and step down.

4 minutes into the challenge: Soledad slips off her perch, causing the bucket to pour water all over her, being the first one out of the challenge. Soledad embarrassingly sits down on the side lines, laughing at how early she was eliminated.

24 minutes into the challenge: Luigino gives into Jeff's temptation, stepping down to claim his bowl of chips with dip and an ice cold beer. Luigino doesn't hide the fact that he doesn't feel at risk, letting the tribe know he's no threat to win the game, before raising the beer to them and sipping. 25 minutes into the challenge: In an attempt to turn away from Luigino (who was getting on her nerves), Phillis falls from her perch, eliminating herself from the challenge. She angrily walks over to the side, feeling as though it was a "stupid challenge" that she could have never won.

37 minutes into the challenge: Both Don and Marsha agree to step down in order to share two slices of pizza and two colas. The tribe applaud Don, who they all feel has done well considering his age. Soledad, Luigino and Marsha begin cheering on Ingrid, who they feel is doing extremely well, now the oldest person left in the challenge, competing alongside much younger athletic individuals.

42 minutes into the challenge: Ingrid steps down, claiming 8 slices of pizza and a jug of cola (the rest of the pizza which Don and Marsha got single slices from). Ingrid is applauded for her tribe, smiling as she tucks into her food.

1hr 24 minutes into the challenge: With the final four in the challenge refusing to take any temptations, it seems as though the challenge could go on for a long time. Mary slips from her perch, leaving only three remaining to fight it out. 2hr 43 minutes into the challenge: David's arm begins to shake, and he ultimately pulls the bucket down on himself, appearing frustrated as he loses out on the chance to win the challenge. 4hr 36 minutes into the challenge: Adela and Abbas have remained still for hours, with neither giving up, both wanting to claim the first individual immunity win. After trying to stretch his back, Abbas loses his footing, but manages to recover. As he laughs and proclaims "that was close" his arm slips forward, sending the bucket down on him. Adela cheers as she wins the challenge, stepping down and running over to Jeff, who places the necklace on her, stating that she is safe at the first merged tribal council. The final ten head back to Boran's camp, which they all feel is more suitable to spend the remainder of their time living in.

Challenge: When It Rains, It Pours Each survivor's wrists were attached to a rope connected to a bucket of water overhead. Their arms had to remain above their heads, very still, because the slightest movement would upset the bucket above and shower the person with water, thus eliminating that person from the game. Jeff Probst will then tempt the contestants with some food items in exchange for giving up. Last person left standing wins immunity. Winner: Adela

Merged Tribe
The final ten arrive at the old Boran camp as the newly merged tribe, where they are greeted by a green mat and a buffet all laid out for them to enjoy. The group sits together and immediately begins eating, with some tribe members (particularly Ingrid) offering to eat less, having already eaten during the immunity challenge. Adela sits next to old tribe mate David, who is clearly happy to see her.

Abbas steers the conversation away from Kris' elimination, instead asking the group what they suggest for a new tribe name.

The tribe raise their cups to the new name, continuing to enjoy the feast in peace, avoiding any strategic talk until the meal is finished. After finishing the meal, the tribe begins to pack away any food it has left. Ingrid and Abbas get to work painting the tribe flag. Don rests, talking with Soledad about his fall, to which she tells him that he should take things slowly. Mary and Marsha sit and talk, knowing that Phillis is listening to them, keeping the topic off any strategy, not wanting her to have an idea what either of them could be up to. David and Adela go off together, using the excuse of collecting firewood to give them a chance to speak. Adela explains to David how she kept in the game, letting him know that she didn't expect to make it back into the game. She tells him that she managed to stay alive by making a deal with Soledad and Mary, which involves the Samburu members joining them to blindside Phillis. David seems shocked that Adela would make such big plans without him, and decides not to tell her about his deal he made with Phillis.

Day 21
The newly merged Moto Maji tribe sleep in late, with only Marsha and Mary getting up early in order to discuss their plans for the days tribal council.

Soledad walks over to Mary and Marsha, realizing that Mary is filling Marsha in on the plan. Marsha tells Soledad that she doesn't agree with going after Phillis, and that to play it safe they should target Luigino (an easier target). Soledad agrees, saying she also feels that to give Samburu the numbers would mean they could take control later on, and that by doing this they would prevent Phillis' alliance from taking control, whilst preventing Samburu from holding the power later on.

Adela meets with the three girls, who tell her that the plan has changed. Adela admits she isn't fully comfortable with Luigino being the vote, as she wouldn't be able to convince David or Ingrid to vote him out. Soledad tells her not to worry, as they will have Don's vote. Marsha tells the group that she knows Luigino has past votes, meaning that in a 5-5 tie he would go home, as he has the most votes of anyone in the game. Adela confirms that Luigino has votes, feeling more comfortable with the prospect of voting him out.

The group spot the girls talking together, leading Phillis to take advantage of the situation. She turns to Don, Abbas, Luigino and Ingrid who are sat around her.

David and Adela talk together about the vote.

Whilst Adela unsuccessfully talks to David, Mary and Soledad attempt to talk with Don, who seems reluctant to discuss any sort of strategy. Soledad tries to assure Don that the vote is the best one, and that it is to prevent Samburu from taking control. Don tells Soledad that he will think about it.

Marsha, Mary and Soledad get together before tribal, all clearly concerned with the unclear direction the tribe is headed, with no one certain where their loyalties are.

At tribal council the group discuss the blatant split in the tribe, with two alliances emerging from the tribe swap. Phillis calls out Mary and Soledad for being backstabbers, telling Don, David, Luigino, Abbas and Ingrid that they shouldn't side with individuals like that, as they will only backstab them down the line. Mary argues back with Phillis, calling her out for her bullish antics, particularly her attacks on herself and Marsha. When asked whether the swap has caused alliances to fragment, the entire tribe answers yes, feeling as though this has been the most frantic day of any season of Survivor. Adela claims no one is certain where the vote will go, as "everyone is playing everyone". After the voting is complete, Soledad's alliance is shocked to see both Don and David abandoned them, and that the four of them were left alone in voting for Luigino. In the end it is Mary who falls victim to Phillis' group, with the other six players all voting for her. Mary hugs her friends goodbye, wishing the three of them luck, before holding back tears as she leaves the tribal council area. Phillis is left looking smug, whilst David shrugs at Adela as she questions his decision. The final nine return to camp, with the knowledge that they have all at least made the jury stage of the game.
