Drop your buffs! A tribal swap brings twists to the game - S40 E5 'Survivor' Recap & Review

The veteran reality series hosted by Jeff Probst brings its 18 castaways to San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, for its 30th installment. This season sees the group divided into three tribes — the white collars, which includes a corporate executive and a retail buyer, the blue collars, which includes a postal worker and a contractor, and the no collars, consisting of free-spirited individuals who are known to break the rules. The three tribes approach the game and how the interact with each other differently, while all sharing the same goal, to earn the title of Sole Survivor.

A tribal swap creates three new tribes, Sele, Dakal, and Yara. The tribes return to camp where past relationships once again come back to haunt some players. Michelle finds herself on an island with Wendell, her ex-boyfriend, and Tony ends up with a group of players who all are carrying secret advantages. At the challenge, Yara had the early lead, but a difficult block puzzle set them back, allowing Sele and Dakal to win, sending Yara to tribal council. Rob wanted to stay three strong with Adam and Ben, but nobody liked his buddy system strategy. At tribal council, Sophie called out Rob’s game play, and Sarah and Sophie tested their fate by not playing any advantages. In the end, Adam and Ben were tired of Rob’s control, and Rob was voted out. Who will be eliminated next?
