Who's who in the Zoo

Camp is a mess after another live tribal - Deshawn wants to feel heard in discussions, and Naseer calls out Heather for campaigning against him. While it's true she did, it was Xander that voted for Naseer, though he keeps that to himself. Heather calls for an ambulance in Evie, but instead Evie brings a bus to throw Heather under, setting up the dynamic for the first tribal of the evening.

The double tribal twist is revealed at the joint immunity/reward challenge - which Xander and Erika take down, foiling a lot of plans. Half the tribe wins reward (Xander, Liana, Danny, Deshawn, Evie). This is going to be scored as if it was a *tribal* reward challenge win. While technically they were competing against each other, they still were separated into 'teams', and Deshawn/Xander pushing each other to the limit extended their time over the other team's time.

For a non-live pair of tribals, it's lively - Everyone gets their face to face time with Jeff, and tensions are high with 5 man tribals, and idols very live. Shan plays her split vote, triggering a tie, and sending Naseer home on the revote. No 'saved by extra vote' points will be scored - Naseer would have gone home regardless of the vote being played.

We also say goodbye to our first-half narrator Evie - No idol or extra vote help from Xander, and Deshawn sticks with his majority alliance. C'est la vie.
