Survivor 10: Pearl Islands

20 Israelis were given three minutes to pack up their belongings before being flown out to the Pearl Islands and divided into two tribes: Caniba and Baru. They then went to a local market to buy supplies. Efrat was very aggressive with the local men, causing two somewhat tense confrontations, but they eventually helped her team. On the boat ride to the islands, Meir convinced the driver to siphon gas from the boat and give it to them. At camp, Caniba tried fishing then later celebrated with wine and sang. Baru argued with each other over the shelter but came together around the campfire. Natan and Nasrin (Caniba Tribe) had conflict, and the tribe had trouble sleeping on the ground; Efrat slept in a big treasure chest that held their supplies. The girls of Baru trapped a pelican and took it to camp as a pet.

Baru returned to camp after Immunity and found that the tide had risen and ruined everything, including their matches. At Caniba, Guy, Natan, Irit, Itay and Efrat formed an alliance around the campfire. Gal woke up and heard their plotting to vote out Nasrin.

At Exile Island, Yoav and Nasrin competed in a tile-breaking competition using slingshots. Yoav won a key which opened a chest containing a clue for an idol hidden back at his tribe camp.

When Nasrin returned to Caniba, Arik looked through her bag, supposing she found an idol. Later, Gal and Arik observed the alliance of Irit, Natan, Guy and Itay and struck a deal on the beach with each other. At Caniba's Individual Immunity challenge, Itay won but made a mistake, making Guy the winner. Afterwards, Gal pulled Efrat aside at camp and persuaded her to join him in a deal which they shook on.

At the Baru camp, Sivan was suffering a lot, putting a big target on her. Michal was outcast by the girls and found comfort with Meir after a tearful conversation. Ofir told his tribe that he was gay. At night, Ofir tried to look for the Immunity Idol hidden at camp (which Yoav told his tribe about).

At Caniba, Efrat made up with Guy and Natan, whom she turned on at Tribal Council when she voted out Irit. Nasrin still could not get along well with anyone in her team and eventually burst into tears privately.

At Baru, Meir recovered from his collapse; The tribe finally made fire after earlier losing it; when they tried to use some of the gas they siphoned from the boat from the start of the game, the fire went out of control and they had to immediately put out several small fires when the gasoline spilled. At Caniba, Nasrin continued to alienate herself; the alliance of Natan, Efrat, Itay and Guy was solidified; Gal continued to speak in private with Efrat and Natan. Efrat told Nasrin that Guy was going home and later lies about it at Tribal Council. On Exile Island, Ofir won the challenge against Anastassia.

Following Tribal Council, the Caniba tribe returned happily to the camp, feeling that they finally were united after voting out Nasrin, who drew a lot of fire and negativity towards herself by distancing herself from the rest of her tribe-mates. The tribe discussed voting her out, and generally were in a good mood leading up to the next day's reward challenge.

The Reward Challenge was a blind-fold challenge, with Gal and Mirit chosen to lead their friends blindly to find eight puzzle pieces. After falling behind, Gal calmly led his team to victory, as Mirit failed to control her team eventually, and Caniba also aided by misdirecting them. Following the challenge, where Caniba won ten pineapples, and chose to give two to Baru), Meir failed to control himself and immediately went on a mad rant, even going as far as to say that he had had enough of everyone there, and said that he did not care if he got voted out.

After Baru returned from losing the challenge, Meir again tried to cause chaos, and after shouting a lot without any reason, went to Ma'ayan, Mirit, Michal and Sivan and said that Diva needs to be taken out of the game. Nobody agreed with him, and Meir felt that if Baru lost immunity, he would be on the chopping block. In the midst of all the chaos on the beach, Ofir went off alone into the Jungle in search of the Hidden Immunity Idol, and within a few minutes, after figuring out the meaning of the clues, he found a hole in the ground, in a tree near the water, and retrieved the Hidden Immunity Idol. He decided he would not tell anyone.

Back at Caniba, they enjoyed their victory by slicing open their newly-won pineapples, and went into the sea to talk. While in the sea, Gal was stung apparently by a Sting-Ray and after bleeding heavily, and passing out, he was evacuated from the Island by an emergency rescue crew. The Caniba tribe was broken and saddened, but they banded together and said that they would win the Immunity Challenge.

At the Immunity Challenge, Caniba and Baru faced off in a battle of balance on a rolling log. After a few close rounds and exchanges, Michal from Baru went up and simply destroyed the Caniba tribe, beating them in ten consecutive rounds, single-handedly winning immunity for her tribe.

The episode begins with the challenge between the two exiled castaways, Neta-Lee and Meir. Neta-Lee manages to beat Meir, and gets a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol, but what she did not know that Ofir already had found it. Meir and Neta-Lee then swapped tribes. At the Caniba tribe, the girls, Efrat and Anastassia, were outnumbered by the five guys (Itay, Guy, Bashevkin, Meir, and Arik). At the Baru tribe, Neta-Lee's arrival brought much excitement to camp, and everyone was glad that Meir left, due to his previous outbursts.

After a dramatic tribal council, Caniba returned to camp in a very weird mood filled with mixed emotions but decide that they need to pull themselves together for the upcoming challenges. The next morning, Arik calls Efrat to the side to strategize with her, where he tells her that Meir is disturbing the tribe and causing the guys to rule over the underdogs, him, Efrat, and Anastassia. They both decide that Meir needs to be the next one to go. At Baru, Sivan's weak personality starts to annoy some of her tribemates, Idan and Igor. She cried over the hunger at the tribe, and together everyone decided that they needed this reward.

At the reward challenge, the castaways were given a shot at deciding what the reward will be, by sending one person to the enemy's tribe and taking one item from them. The first two rounds of the challenge, ended in a tie. The guys fought for the pillow, but no one managed to bring the pillow back to the tribe mat. At the women's round, Anastassia was left on her own to battle against Ma'ayan from Baru (after Efrat and Diva were disqualified) where she proved to her tribe that she was physically stronger than they had thought. Even though she came short from scoring the final point, it ended up a tie. At the tie-breaker Caniba defeated Baru, and chose to send Meir back to his old tribe for "revenge".

It was decided that Meir would take rice from the Baru camp but he failed to do so when his old tribemates tricked him when they said their rice was swept away by the storm, even though it really was not. The Caniba tribemates were mad at Meir for being able to fall for such a lie, and thrived to have him out next. Before the immunity challenge, Meir and Neta-Lee were given a choice to go back to their original tribe or stay in their new one. Neta-Lee gladly returned to Caniba and Meir stayed, because he hated the Baru members.

Caniba came back to camp with the bread and butter that they had won and celebrated Guy's birthday together, and Efrat mentioned she could finally stop scheming. At Baru, the feeling was different after the immunity challenge. Even though they had won flint, the tribe was sad because of their first tribal council. Idan and Diva formed a tight relationship, and Igor also bonded with them.

At Exile Island, Arik defeated Michal and got the clue to hidden immunity idol back at his camp, and some chocolates in which he shared with Michal. Michal gave half of her chocolate to her tribemates back at Baru, to help bond with them, knowing she was on the outs. At Caniba, Arik used the chocolate for strategic purposes, and helped gain favor from the tribe.

After having difficulty falling asleep, Meir went to the local boat drivers and asked them to drive him away from the camp; they disagreed and he began cursing them. His tribemates were mad at him, and did their best to stay as far away as possible from him. At the reward challenge, the host said the Meir was disqualified for his actions the night before, narrowing down Caniba to seven members. Caniba then went on to dominate the challenge, and won some construction tools, and then Baru tribe as their servants for the day. Baru was displeased with their loss, but had to become Caniba's servants for a day. Efrat was arrogant around camp, handing out a lot of jobs and asked for massages, Arik said that her attitude would hurt her in the merge. When Baru came back to camp the next day, they decided they had enough of losing to Caniba, and had to win the next Immunity Challenge.

Caniba returned to camp, upset at the end of their winning streak. Arik caused trouble around camp after he strategized with Bashevkin and then ratted him out to Guy and Itay; everyone agreed that Bashevkin had dug his own grave. Efrat was sent to Exile Island to fight against Idan from Baru; she beat him and got the clue to the hidden Immunity Idol. At night, a romance between Idan and Efrat began, and Efrat came back to Caniba's camp in love. Her tribemates immediately noticed it and began to not trust her. At Baru, Ma'ayan and Igor connected while speaking Russian together. Their other tribemates were okay with the feeling, but Diva was jealous of the new couples forming. At the individual immunity challenge, Efrat, Arik, and Guy decided to give up their shot and let Itay win so Bashevkin could go home, but Bashevkin and Itay saw through Arik's performance.

Itay chose to make the vote a bit more fair, and chose to give up his immunity. After the votes were revealed, Bashevkin was eliminated. The Caniba tribe was much better off without Bashevkin; they went on to dominate the reward challenge, winning a king-sized bed with candles for their camp, which they all enjoyed that night. At Baru, Ma'ayan and Igor's relationship grew, but Michal was getting outcast by her tribe, so Ofir took her aside to help her.

After Baru lost the challenge, Igor began complaining, and he caused mixed emotions when he said he wouldn't mind getting rid of some people like Michal, right in front of her face. Michal then went with Ofir to the side and together they formed an alliance and decided to help each other stay in the game. Ofir then went to the angered Igor and told him that Ma'ayan had been planning to get rid of him all the time they were friends. Igor bought the lie that Ofir made up and told everyone else except Mirit and Ma'ayan what happened. Igor then went to Ma'ayan and told her that she was backstabbing him as a friend. He said "Ma'ayan, go search for your friends and leave me and Diva alone". Ma'ayan then went crying to Mirit asking her why everyone suddenly hated her.

At the Exile Island duel, both contestants had a paintball gun and had to shoot each other. Itay easily beat Diva and got the clue to the hidden Immunity Idol. At night, Diva began to flirt with Itay, and he then understood how she has so much power and control in the Baru tribe. At Caniba, the girls did nothing all day. Anastassia, Neta-Lee, and Efrat were so confident in their alliance with Arik that they knew that they had the numbers, and Itay and Guy would have to work hard to stay in the game. Even though Arik was mad at the girls, he still didn't agree to cause a tie if there was a tribal council. When Diva returned to the Baru camp she was greeted by her "lion alliance" (Igor, Idan, and Yoav) with hugs and kisses. Michal complained about Diva's attitude, and if the lie was true she would side with Ma'ayan to get rid of her, but only if it were to be true.

At the individual immunity challenge, the castaways had to hang upside down on a bar, last person to stay up wins. The girls and Yoav went out after 15 minutes and left Ma'ayan hanging for her life. Ma'ayan complained that she had suddenly become on the chopping block and asked everyone why, but no one answered. Mirit was the only one who cheered Ma'ayan at the challenge. When Ma'ayan fell after 35 minutes, the guys respectively went down together, but Igor was the last to hit the ground, so he won immunity.

The episode began with Caniba coming back to camp after another loss. Diva was sure that the boys from Baru would have lost to keep her safe but they won so she knew she might be going home. At Baru the feeling was different, everyone was happy, especially the girls originally from Caniba. Igor found a dirty brazent in the jungle and brought it to camp, just making their lifestyle better and stronger.

At exile Island, the two allies Michal and Ofir met and planned their next move. They decided it was time for sneaky Diva to go home. After the dangerous move they made with Ma'ayan they were sure they could pull this off. Ofir already had the Hidden Immunity Idol from Baru so he lost the challenge on purposes, giving Michal the clue for the idol.

When Michal returned to Caniba she told the guys a lie, saying that the original Caniba girls (Effie, Anastassia, and Neta-Lee) said they were useless and never brought fish and that they were happy to be on their new tribe. That heated up the boys, making them mad. But Diva caught Michal in the lie and said Ofir can not be trusted, meaning that what he told her was probably false.

Diva, knowing she was next to go planned a new "guy's alliance" with Itay, Guy, and Arik. They bonded and decided Michal and Mirit were the next to go home.

When Ofir returned to Baru, he told the truth. The boys from Caniba (Guy, Arik, and Itay) said that Anastassia did nothing around camp, Effie only slept, and that Neta-Lee was a fat non-stop eating machine. Neta-Lee was very offended by this and worried. But Effie and Anastassia stayed calm.

At the individual Immunity Challenge, it was Michal's zone. Balance. Michal outlasted every one on her tribe and won immunity.

The episode began with Caniba returning from Tribal Council happy with the decision they had made about cutting Diva's dream. At Baru Igor and Idan, Diva's best friends and alliance mates started to worry about her. When they came to the reward challenge they found out she had been voted off and were extremely angry, and decided to fight hard this time.

The tribes fought over a delicious meal of steaks, potatoes, and vegetables but ultimately it was Baru who finally won their first reward challenge. Then they were given an option to trade the reward in for a box, and that Caniba would get the reward. They agreed and got the box, which had Noam, the runner-up from the previous season. They were all happy, but Caniba was too. For extra flavor they got a dessert, which was brought in by Moshe, another contestant from the previous season. The two tribes got Noam and Moshe for the day and for the Immunity Challenge.

Michal returned to camp certain that Mirit was going home, but knew she was on the chopping block. Meanwhile, Moshe, who was "the reward" they earned from the challenge, flirted with the girls. Arik was worried and wanted Mirit out because she was closest to him. But Moshe had plans to mix things up at Tribal and vote out Arik.

At Baru, Anastassia had an emotional moment with her tribe. She said that today, she was supposed to get married to her fiance, Tal, but decided to delay the wedding for the adventure of her lifetime. She cried, but her tears were understood by her tribe, especially by Efrat, Neta-Lee, and Noam, "the reward" that Baru won at the reward challenge.

At the individual Immunity challenge that Caniba had before tribal, Arik helped Itay win again. Itay claimed he was liked by the tribe, and because of that he had been winning a lot. Moshe was upset and decided to target Arik, but Guy had other plans, he and Itay decided it was time to get rid of Michal, who was lying left to right to both tribes she had been on.

At the beginning of the episode Mirit was glad that she was saved at Tribal Council. The guys were also proud about their choice. At Baru the original Baru members Igor and Idan were worried about the girl's alliance and decided to break Neta-Lee and Efrat's alliance with Anastassia by making a new alliance. Idan persuaded Efrat and Neta-Lee to join them but Ofir caught the exchangement. He decided that it was time to break up the new alliance.

The reward for the challenge was cereal at a luxurious breakfast at the tribes' camps. The Caniba 4 defeated Baru 7 and managed to stay strong.

Back at Baru, Ofir targeted Idan and Igor when he told Neta-Lee a lie that they had been planning to backstab her. Neta-Lee caught the lie and told the guys, and Ofir was in trouble. Ofir decided to set up a new plot to get rid of Neta-Lee. Ofir, who had the Hidden Immunity Idol, and knew where it was hid, went "searching" for it and "accidentally" bumped into it, but after such a short time, that Igor, Idan, and Yoav noticed that it was probably another one of his lies. Ofir claimed Neta-Lee had the idol, but no one bought the story.

At Baru it was Mirit and Arik on the chopping block. Arik was worried he had lost contact with the guys and decided to try bonding with them, which did not work at all.

At the individual Immunity challenge, Mirit was confident she would win but after a muddy challenge Guy won and chose to take Mirit with him to bath of the mud from the challenge as part of an extra reward.

Before Tribal Council Arik went searching for the idol but came up short.

The episode began with the Caniba 3 (Arik, Guy, and Itay) complaining, but also being happy that they were the only members left on Caniba. At Baru, The girls remained happy and were glad that they were seven strong Baru members, but at the same time missed the Caniba boys.

Tree mail was a reward challenge. The Caniba tribe was depressed that there wasn't a merge at 10. At the reward challenge, Efrat, Idan, Anastassia, and Yoav were forced to sit out, due to them playing at the last challenge, leaving Igor, Ofir, and Neta-Lee to work together. They did not succeed in finding the winning statement which was "One for all, all for one, Welcome to the merged tribe". Caniba won the prize, which was juice, but shared it with Baru since there was the merge time. The merged tribe's name was Casaya, named after the island the castaways would live in.

The Casaya tribe celebrated the merge at a Panamanian Mansion with hot tubs, baths, food and luxury items from home. The Casaya tribe later on returned to a completely new island and camp. Arik tried to rebond with the former Caniba girls, Anastassia, Neta-Lee, and Efrat, who were in a difficult situation who to go with: Baru or Caniba. Efrat and Anastassia wanted to go with Baru but Neta-Lee disagreed. Arik lied to the girls and told them he lost the past immunities on purpose but Anastassia caught the lie.

The Santiago tribe's challenge was about a pirate named Henry Morgan. The outcasts were forced to remember the story in order to win. Mirit answered every question right and was brought back into the game, earning immunity at the next tribal council.

Back at Casaya, Mirit immediately went to work with telling her tribemates that Arik wasn't the sweet little boy next door but a snake in the grass. She told Itay and Guy that he wasn't trustable and they knew that Mirit was more trustable than him. In the morning Ofir woke up to form an alliance with Arik, which he nearly succeeded but Arik decided not to, only take his 'new alliance' with Ofir as a backup plan.

At the Individual Immunity Challenge, the castaways were set underwater with minimum space to breathe between bars and the last to stand would win safety. Idan knew his alliance with Efrat, Igor, and Neta-Lee was strong (with Anastassia in the curtains) so he didn't give it his all. Yoav was the first out after 10 minutes, Arik, Efrat, Neta-Lee, and Mirit after him. Anastassia was left the only girl running for Immunity. Everyone was surprised that she managed to outlast half of the tribe. Anastassia hung in with the guys quite a while, but after 40 minutes, she understood that if she stood any longer she would be targeted as a physical threat and decided to quit. Igor then went after her. Ofir also. Idan, Guy, and Itay were left in the water. When Guy went out, Idan knew that one of Caniba's physical threats was out and decided to quit himself, thus giving Itay Immunity

At Exile Island Arik and Mirit battled for a clue of the Hidden Immunity Idol, which this time was rehidden at Exile Island. Mirit won the challenge but shared the clue with Arik, but they didn't succeed in finding the idol, instead they formed an alliance.

Back at camp, Efrat began to criticize Neta-Lee's boyfriend and Neta-Lee got very offended. In the morning, the two girls wouldn't speak to each other, and Neta-Lee told Anastassia all the negative comments Efrat had said about them since Day 1. Anastassia and Neta-Lee decided Efrat was going to be the next to go and together they joined forces with Itay, Guy, Mirit, and Arik.

Then a new challenge was announced, the Veto challenge, the castaway that one chooses one person that will not vote at the coming Tribal Council. The challenge was in rounds. In the first round Efrat, Yoav, Igor, Itay, and Anatassia managed to remove a small item from a woven piece of ropes. In the second round Itay succeeded in dragging the anchor to the finish line first and won the Veto Armlet. He chose to cancel Ofir's Vote.

Everyone came back to camp after a very troubled Tribal Council. Igor and Idan were mad that the girls had betrayed them, and decided not to trust Anastassia and Neta-Lee anymore.

At the Reward Challenge, Idan managed to make a small comeback after falling behind early on. He chose Igor to drink some beer for the reward, while back at camp Neta-Lee and Anastassia planned to stick with Caniba.

Guy felt confident that he and Itay were ruling the game. They knew Idan was the next to go. But other things were going on to make the situation tough at Casaya. Igor and Neta-Lee began to fight about who is a bigger backstabber. Neta-Lee claimed Igor was a trashy person, while Igor said Neta-Lee was just garbage.

At Exile Island Arik proved that he could win Mirit at challenges, and he won a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol hidden on Exile Island. They searched together, but when Mirit got tired she stopped searching and they decided to come back some other time.

That night at Casaya, the merged tribe, Igor and Idan tried to make a deal with Guy and Itay to vote off Neta-Lee. They didn't agree.

At the Veto challenge, Idan wasn't afraid of the dangerous tarantulas and won the armlet. He used it to cancel Guy's vote later on. A twist was revealed after the challenge. A new hidden Immunity Idol was hidden back at Casaya, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-place winners in the Veto challenge got a clue to it (Idan, Igor, Yoav, and Anastassia – in order).

While Yoav and Igor searched for the idol, Idan guarded Anastassia and made sure she didn't find the idol. She didn't, but Igor did.

Anastassia and Neta-Lee were shocked because of the last blindside at Tribal Council.

At the reward Challenge, Idan managed to win 15 minutes of phone line to speak with his loved ones. He chose to share it evenly between everyone. Yoav had a dramatic moment with his girlfriend, Jackie, who lives in London, while Neta-Lee has a sad moment, when her boyfriend wasn't talking with her, but she got over it within minutes.

Back at camp, Igor got mad at Ofir. He began to search Ofir's bags, but was unable to find his hidden immunity idol, and got mad at Ofir for hiding the Idol from his alliance.

Yoav and Idan battled it out on Exile Island for the hint to the Hidden Immunity Idol in a challenge that required taking apart a tower one piece at a time, with the first person to make it fall, losing the challenge.

After Idan won, and he and Yoav spent a night of good camaraderie on Exile Island, they searched together when morning broke. After following and finding a few more hints, they found the Hidden Immunity Idol buried in the sand near a bush, and celebrated. Back at camp, Ofir said that he would find out whether or not they found the Idol, and they would plan their tactics around that, with the primary goal being to vote Idan off.

At the Veto challenge, a game of "true or false" trivia took place in regards to current events happening off the Island, which Anastasia won. Following the challenge, the Caniba alliance conspired and thought about their tactics, with Ofir using his alliance with the former Baru boys to find out that Idan indeed had found the Idol on Exile Island. Ofir told the ex-Caniba members of this, while promising that he was with the ex-Baru members every step of the way. Arik told Idan that he was indeed the target at Tribal Council to confuse him, and Idan, Igor and Yoav agreed that Idan would use the Idol for himself, and cancel out the votes towards him.

Igor and Yoav came back to camp about tribal council, where Caniba's plan to vote out Idan was executed successfully. Igor got mad and began saying very racist comments, disrespecting the girls' decision, and also laughing about Ofir's homosexuality. He began planning out a new alliance with Itay and Mirit and made it clear to everyone that his target was Ofir.

At the reward challenge, the castaways played for a picnic. Igor easily won the challenge and chose Mirit, Itay, and Yoav to join him on the picnic. Then the host said that the 4 castaways going to the picnic will be one team in the upcoming Immunity challenge, while the others will be a different one, the Immunity will be given to the winning team at the Immunity Challenge. At the picnic, Yoav and Igor planned a Final 4 alliance with Itay and Mirit, where they said that Ofir has got to be the next to go home. Mirit agreed but Itay was not confident that joining the former Baru members would be the right decision to make.

Back at camp, Arik planned his final 4 alliance with Anastassia, Neta-Lee and Ofir. Ofir went out searching for food in the jungle and came back with a huge sack of Pacifloras. Arik claimed that Neta-Lee did not even care about Ofir, she only cared about the fruits, and was the first one to taste them.

On Exile Island, the challenge was collaborative as Arik and Neta-Lee fought together to receive a clue. They managed to win the challenge and both received a clue, but they were unable to make fire and Neta-Lee claimed to not have enough strength to find the idol. Back at camp, Ofir knew he was the next to go due to Arik's alliance with Anastassia and Neta-Lee, and unsuccessfully tried to sway the votes against Anastassia. At the Veto Challenge, the castaways competed against each other to eat local delicacies faster; Igor beat Ofir in the final round to win.

After returning from the immunity challenge, Yoav talked to Neta-Lee about getting rid of Mirit for being the largest jury threat; Neta-Lee later argued with Mirit, and Mirit responded by scheming with Yoav. For the final Exile Island duel, Arik and Itay both earned a clue to the idol, but were unable to find it. Yoav won the veto challenge, and decided to cancel Itay's vote.

Broadcast live from an amphitheatre in Caesarea, Israel, the jurors berated the finalists for their gameplay: Anastassia and Itay yelled at Arik for his betrayals, while Yoav offered Neta-Lee his new car if she quit the game; she denied the offer. Those eliminated before the jury returned: Bashevkin revealed that he had sent multiple messages to Nasrin apologizing for his racist comments toward her, and she eventually forgave him; Ofir apologized to Ma'ayan for lying about her; Gal revealed that his leg had fully healed.
