After attending Tribal Council, the Vura tribe was left feeling torn apart. Particularly, toward Denise and Lauren, Lauren really thought that Brad had a real idol and that they two of could pull a move on Denise, and then knowing that she was left out of the loop that Brad had a fake, cemented her spot as on the bottom of this tribe. Denise too now felt paranoid that now people are out to get her, she received two votes last night and only required one more to be blindsided with an idol in her pocket... so, she can't really trust Lauren anymore. Devon and Janet both felt the tension between these two... and they find themselves in the middle of it all.

At Vaka, their Burger Feast reward put the tribe in a good mood, in comparison from what they were before... And while eating, the tribe made some of their differences and they all felt a little more united... for 20 minutes. As soon as they finish eating, Victoria noticed that when Aubry was taking something from her bag, a small wooden coin was among her belongings, Victoria knew that those were what idols look like and now she knows that Aubry has an idol and she needs to go. She gathers Natalie and Jason, to put their differences aside and work together to take out Aubry, they then figured they need to split the votes between her and Mike... so they bring Mike along, told him the plan to take out Aubry unanimously, but they would actually be splitting the votes with Aubry as their primary target. Mike knew that her idol is fake, but kept the information to himself... and now he goes and plans a counter attack on Victoria

At Cagi, Chrissy was growing relentless over Abi and Wentworth hanging out without her... so she steps up and goes to initiate her plan, while to women were away she holds a conversation with Rodney and Malcolm about taking out Wentworth. But Rodney was surprised that she would turn on her alliance, but he would actually prefer to take out Abi instead. But their conversation was cut short when the women came back, and the tribe became silent. Wentworth knew that this was a dead giveaway that something was happening at her absence and so she becomes aware that she may not be on 'top' as she presumed.

At Covu, the tribe was feeling well, even though they barely won anything yesterday, It was still and huge reward to not go to tribal council, as these five were planning to take it all the way. Later on, Marty and Keith decided to try and go do some fishing, leaving Fabio, Andrea and Sophie behind. The three of them talked about some strategy, and could the five of them be able to beat the other fourteen... it led to a conversation about advantages... and it put Fabio in a precarious spot, because he and Marty were both holding an idol each... and so... to soften up to the women and give them confidence that the five of them could stick together... he tells them half-lies and some truths... that first, he know what idols look like this season, Mike found the Cagi Idol with him, and he used that information to locate the Vura Idol and then gave it to Marty to gain some leverage. The women were indeed surprised about all this... they did feel better that at least one of them had an advantage, but they also felt paranoid because Fabio knows too much than he is letting on, and Marty is unpredictable at times, and is now more dangerous now he has an Idol.

DS-HV: DS-HV: Cagi, Covu, Vaka & Vura Camps (Day 13)

All four tribes wake up to find a letter at their respective Tree Mails... it reads "Pick one person to participate in your next reward challenge, a boat will pick them up later."

(this next challenge is a Hero Challenge, where only One player will run the challenge for the whole tribe. You will get to decide who that will be: )

Cagilaba: https://strawpoll.com/dyauud89e

Covulaca: https://strawpoll.com/jdq48dxbe

Vakamai: https://strawpoll.com/5sxrw8vg6

Vuravura: https://strawpoll.com/gzx1vo838

(Polls will end in about 10 hours... 11:00 am EST, make sure to vote wisely, good luck!!)

All four people arrived at a new island, blindly assuming that this is a simple reward challenge for something. Once stepping food on the beach, all of them greeted each other and due to their past being in the Heroes tribe, they caught up on the events that are happening in each camp. But there is one question in their minds: "Where the hell is Jeff? And what is going on?"

Soon they located an area with three different tables. One table was filled to the brim with all sorts of trays and baskets of pastries and baked goods. Another table has a wide chest on it with a note that says: "do not open until the challenge is over." and the last table has the instructions:

"Today you four have been chosen to participate in a 4-way, Do-It-Yourself Hero Duel. The challenge is simple: Use a plank to launch five sandbags into the net above. Completion of this challenge wins you reward. Today, all four you you will be winning something, but depends on how you finish. First to finish, gets 2 large baskets of assorted pastries and a coffee and tea making set. Second to finish gets 1 large basket of pastries and a pitcher of iced coffee. Third to finish gets a smaller basket of pastries. Last to finish gets 5 medium sized bagels. You will get to bring these back to camp to share with the rest of your tribe. Worth Playing For??"

And the four of them decided to play the challenge out:

Challenge: https://strawpoll.com/5rcu7sba7

(This will function like an Individual Challenge, meaning you can vote for as many people as you want. But whoever has the most votes will get the first place reward, second most gets second and so on... But considering that this is a "special challenge", neither the challenge Advantages nor Disadvantages will be used here. But they are still playing for reward of a challenge advantage of +5, +4, +3 and +2 respectively, but this will not affect the Disadvantages at all. Please vote on which player do you think should realistically win this challenge, these polls will end at 12:00 mn EST. Good Luck!!)

The four players started challenge, and it ended up with Malcolm finishing first, Fabio finishing second, Mike in third and lastly Devon in last... the four of them thought, that with that, the challenge is over, they are now done here and they get to take back their reward. Until Fabio remembered about the second table that told them to open it after the challenge. And so, they did.

They opened the chest and revealed 8 notes wrapped up in strings of the different tribe colors, and 4 of it was labelled Honesty and 4 of them labelled Deceit. On the lid of the chest were the instructions:

"You four now have a decision to make, you can choose Honesty and keep the reward you just won for your tribe, or you can choose deceit where you will have to forfeit the reward and in exchange you will receive power in this game. Take the note of your choice, and open it in private, but while you are still on this island."

All four players had mixed reactions toward this, but they all still made a choice:

Devon: https://strawpoll.com/adwguhfh1

Fabio: https://strawpoll.com/qw7pqsja3

Malcolm: https://strawpoll.com/vww25uw6x

Mike: https://strawpoll.com/4rpus3jus

(these polls will end at 12:00 nn EST, choose wisely...)

All four players made their decision, and promptly returned to their respective camps.

Malcolm, chose Honesty, to keep the reward he just won, thinking that it's just a huge waste of that much food, when his whole tribe was starving. When he arrived at his camp's beach, his tribe rejoiced when he returned with a huge amount of food. Malcolm knew that if he told his tribe about the choice, it would just create paranoia and possibly target him, so keeps his mouth shut about the choice and simply told his tribe that there was simply just a challenge, and he won the first place reward. And the rest of the tribe believed him and thanked him for winning. And this was just what they needed to gain the confidence and keep that win streak going.

Fabio too chose Honesty, wanting to keep playing the dumb, friendly, lovable doofus that he "was". And when he returned to camp, he told them the whole story, the challenge, who was there and the penultimate Honesty or Deceit choice. He also told them that he doesn't know what the other three chose. All he knows is that he wanted Covu to get a good meal and this is a good enough meal for them. And the rest of his tribe acknowledged his sacrifice and thanked him for winning this challenge for them. Although Andrea believes that he's not telling everything... But she kept it aside for now, as the tribe was bonding well over the food.

Mike chose Deceit, because in the last time he faced this dilemma, he chose Honest and so it would be a change of pace for him to take the evil option, and because of how volatile the Vaka tribe is, he will need this power if he wants to survive. He receives a rolled up note, asked to only open it when he gets back to camp. When he did arrive, he told his tribe that the challenge was a winner takes all, only the first placing tribe would get the reward, and Malcolm beat him to it. So he has got nothing for them unfortunately, and the rest of his tribe believed him, but soon Mike leaves to go "use the bathroom" and he goes somewhere private to open up that note... and it is a clue to a hidden immunity idol. He reads it and tried to find it. But he was taking too long for Jason and Natalie's comfort, and they become suspicious of him, and the four of them left at camp begun discussing some strategy...

Devon chose Deceit as well, thinking that that was barely a reward, and he might as well take the power and use it to his advantage. He receives the note, and goes back to camp and explained to his tribe that he came in last in the challenge, and last place gets nothing, and so he has nothing. But later on he goes off on his own to go read the note he has and realizes its a clue to a hidden immunity idol, which was not bad by his standards, but knowing he can't take too long, he goes back to camp with the others.

(And for you guys at the audience... this is the idol clue: )

Tensions at its highest, met with tears and strife

Really it comes to show what represents your life

In the presence of elements, our greatest fears

Become meeting the dead eyes of all our old peers

All bets are off when you get that quick view

Last thing you’d want is for that to be you

(what ever could it mean??? We'll find out... Immunity Challenge is tomorrow.)

Shall we get to today's Immunity Challenge? Firsts things first, I gotta take back the immunity idols. Once again immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, it is simple:

One tribe member at a time will race into a mud pit, and gather as much mud as they can and race back to scrape it off into their bucket. Once they are done, the next person goes. Once your bucket is filled enough mud, it will raise a flag. First three tribes to completely filled their buckets with mud, wins immunity.

Cagi, Covu, Vaka, you all have one extra person, who are you sitting out? Chrissy, Marty, Victoria you can all take a seat in the sit out bench. For the rest of you, I'll give you a minute to strategize, we'll get it on.

Survivors Ready?? Go!!

Challenge: https://strawpoll.com/s2jezuy79

(Based off the past two challenges, the net advantage of each tribe are Cagi= +4, Covu= +1, Vaka= +1, Vura= 0. That will come into play this challenge, we'll see how it affects the results. Please vote on which tribe do you think should realistically win this challenge, these polls will end at 12:00 mn EST. Good Luck!!)

This challenge has been very fast so far, Andrea coming back for Covu, Abi coming back for Cagi, it has been a very muddy challenge, and it looks like Vura is in the lead, they don't want to go back to Tribal. Jason with more mud for Vaka, Lauren back with more mud for Vura, at it seems like that is enough!! Vura wins immunity!! We're looking for two more, Malcolm out for Cagi, Sophie out for Covu, who will gather enough mud first?? Aubry is slowing down Vaka, Sophie's taking her time in the pit, while Malcolm is dashing back, Malcolm scraping mud off his body... and that is enough!! Cagi comes in second!! Aubry did not get enough mud, Sophie is back, not enough, it is now coming down to Mike and Fabio racing for the last few mud they need... Mike is back, Fabio is back, who will get it first? Covu!! wins Immunity!! Sending Vaka to Tribal Council!!

Alright, Vura, Covu, Cagi, immunity is yours no one going home from your tribes, you can all now head back to camp, enjoy the night off. Vaka, great effort, you guys lost by few seconds. I'll be seeing you tonight again at Tribal Council, where somebody will be the sixth person voted out of Survivor: Heroes vs Villains, you have the afternoon to figure who will it be, grab your stuff, head back to camp, I'll see you at Tribal.

Everyone in this tribe knew that tensions were already extremely high between everyone, and the only way to keep them from imploding was to win challenges. Sadly, they lost the challenge today, and now have to go to tribal council.

The three former villains went off to strategize, targeting Mike for acting suspicious ever since the Reward Challenge and a possible advantage at his disposal. However Victoria adds that Aubry has an idol, and that is also a threat to them, now they are at a standstill at deciding who is going home.

Meanwhile Mike and Aubry are also discussing some strategy, and although Aubry has an "idol" she wants to save it for the future. So the two of them focused on flipping one of the other three to their side. But in reality, the two of them are just playing each other, because they plan on voting with the villains to get the other out.

Mike talks to Natalie and Jason if their plan to blindside Aubry was still in motion. They say that it is, but only to keep the option open. Mike then suggest to vote out Victoria instead, if only because Aubry is a bigger strategic shield than she is, and after learning she pulled the Kass blindside and throwing Natalie under the bus three days ago, he makes them question her loyalty to the villains.

Aubry also sparks a conversation with Victoria, despite some animosity between these two for their time together in season 38... they figured they should try to work together, as the rest of the players left in the game wont see it coming. Although Victoria wants to get Aubry out for having an idol, she might as well keep her options open, as she's kind of still on the bottom of the villains, and this may be beneficial for her game. They decided to target Natalie for being a core member of the witches coven alliance, but they knew they had to be careful as she might have an idol and may be take out Jason instead.

Now that they are in the middle of everything, Natalie and Jason discuss which of the other three they should vote out tonight. But now Aubry and Victoria are also talking to Mike about turning the tables on them.

The tribe swap saw that the twenty remaining castaways were split into four tribes; Vaka quickly became a very dysfunctional group, hindering on their pasts, telling lies and deception, that made everyone not trust each other.

But now that they have to attend tribal council, everything will now be unleashed.

Mike was in trouble for his time alone on the reward challenge, everyone else deemed him as acting suspicious and having a possible advantage. And Aubry was in trouble for having a "hidden immunity idol" which is actually a fake set up by Mike to cause chaos and put a target on her.

Soon enough Mike goes to try and convince Natalie and Jason to flip on Victoria for her current reputation of being a schemer and possibly not loyal to the Villains as a whole. While Aubry and Victoria were having a discussion about turning the tables on Natalie, although fearing she may have an idol, they set Jason as their safe vote.

Everyone is suspicious of each other, and everyone is out for themselves and no one else, who will be the one going home tonight? We'll find out.
