survivor africa the third installment of the survivor franchise premiered on october 11th 2001
with 16 strangers from all walks of life getting dropped off in the middle of kenya africa
with dangerous animals living within distance of the castaways seriously before we begin i
just got a touch on how great and brutal this location is for my money this is the most brutal
location survivors ever gone to as not only were there dangerous animals all around but
it was scorching hot with very little chance to find food since they weren't next to an ocean in
fact the tribes litty had to assign duties every night to watch out for the creatures at night
and survivor hired trained professionals with rifles to kill the animals just in case they got
too close to the castaways just freaking insane it really makes you respect the players that competed
this season speaking of those players episode 1 begins with the tribes once again being split up
in the two tribes of eight baron and sambaru and the tribes immediately gathered supplies
and got to work on their camp at sambaroo frank's bossy behavior turned off the younger players
and an age divide quickly formed as the four players that were 40 and up formed a tight
bond while the other four players that were 30 and younger straight away from the baby boomer mindset
at buron diane quickly fell to the brutal conditions making her the easy initial target
at the immunity challenge the first challenge was once again lighting fire for the win and
sambaroo beat out barran to win the first immunity of the season so back at barron it looked to be an
easy day as diane was the clear target but after the tribe went to get water clarence shared the
tribe's beans with her and when the tribe found out about this they were furious and lost a ton of
trust in him but clarence defended himself saying he was simply trying to help a sick diane make it
through the day at tribal council clarence paid for his mistake as he received a vote from tom
and diane dang diane talk about ruthless voting for a guy trying to help you i like it but in the
end diane got the rest of the votes becoming the first person to be voted out of survivor africa
diane the tribe has spoken
episode 2 begins with the fallout from being gate as pretty much all of braun has clearance
on their radar for his hoarding of the beans a lot of people agree that this was a bad look for baron
to treat clearance this badly after he was just simply trying to help out diane but what's even
worse to me is that tom put his vote on clarence to send him a message which is a terrible idea
because remember tied votes at this point were settled by pass boats and we saw that play a huge
role the previous season tom and baran agreeing to put an extra vote on clearance for the sake of it
could have easily come back to backfire on them anyway back at sambaroo the oto group attempts
to recruit silas to their side but silas doesn't want anything to do with them at the first reward
challenge of the season sambaroo once again wins winning canned food blankets and other
necessary supplies after the challenge it was then jesse who fell to the conditions of kenya
making her the new weakling target on baron at the meaty challenge for the third straight year
a gross food eating competition was the second beauty challenge of the season however this time
instead of a bevy of gross foods each survivor had to drink cow's blood mixed with milk kelly
and linda faced off in a duel to which linda would be the one to pull through giving samaru
their third straight win and second straight immunity despite kelly causing the tribe the
challenge jesse was simply too weak and she was voted out in a 5-2 vote jesse the tribe has spoken
it's time for you to go the other two votes once again fell on clearance bringing his total vote
count to four baron desperately tried to clear up their trust issues with clarence
while the generation gap on sambaroo reached a climax as it was clear nobody was flipping
at the reward challenge baron won their first challenge winning some much needed water that
would last them for a very long time back at sambaroo the younger alliance grew increasingly
lazy and annoyed by the older alliance leaving carlton complaining about the gen x's work ethic
which made for an erotic comparison moment 30 seasons later he also let it slip that he was
already extremely wealthy making him the target for the younger group at the immunity challenge
baron continued their momentum winning their first immediate challenge sending sambaroo to
their first tribal council where it was an even 4-4 split as the older alliance voted for lindsay
and the younger alliance voted for carl since this was sanbaru's first tribal council
the thai obviously couldn't be settled in the past votes route so survivors sell this
via a trivia challenge season three survivor ladies and gentlemen on question 4 carl
answered false while lindsay correctly answered true giving the younger alliance to numbers
and sending carl back to his dental company in winter springs florida carl the tribe has spoken
it's time now having the numbers the younger alliance on sambaroo became unbearable to the
minority older alliance seriously this is one of my least favorite survivor episodes of all time
as it's just so cringey to watch play out and while sambaroo continued to fracture
baron started to grow closer after winning two straight challenges however their momentum came
to a halt in large part thanks to kim johnson's poor performance giving sambaroo some much needed
food as reward luckily for baron they regrouped at the immunity challenge winning their second
straight immunity and thus would make the numbers even at sambaru linda was the target for the young
and there was unfortunately nothing she could really do about it in fact the young realized
this and told the older minority to put their votes on lindsay to avoid multiple sambaroos
having a large number of boats as again that could come back to backfire on them come emerge i mean
it does make sense but come on the pure audacity of the younger crew to treat the outsiders like
garbage and then expect them to do you a favor the old unsurprisingly didn't follow along with
the young's plan and put their three votes on silas but in the end the young stuck together
and voted out linda in a 4-3 vote making her the fourth person to be voted out of survivor africa
i can't lie at this point the season is starting to look pretty bad between the
unfair treatment of clearance on baron and the absolute despicable behavior of the
young players on sambaroo this season needed a shake up and boy did survivor take that to heart
silas theresa frank you guys are now members of braun
oh my god
kelly lex tom you guys are now members of sambaroo smokes
in the first ever survivor twist baron and sambaru were now two completely different tribes with a
3-3 split down the middle now that's what i'm talking about everyone was obviously shocked at
this twist and silas specifically knew he was in a bad spot as his san brew members were the last
two older members left standing that he had been going up against and theresa and frank
at the first challenge as new tribes baron wins three chickens and a rooster but despite the win
silas still feels extremely paranoid due to this paranoia ethan and kim come up with a plan they
could throw the next immunity challenge eliminate stylus which would give berrod numbers on braun
2.0 six five numbers in the game as a whole and would obviously protect baron on the other side
so at the immunity challenge for the first time ever contestants threw a challenge
sending baron to tribal council after the challenge silas desperately tries to save himself
throwing frank under the bus but there's really not much he can do at this point as braun 2.0
voted out unanimously and silas would become the first of many swap screwed players in survivor
couldn't have happened to a better guy silas tribal smoke
what's up with the merge on everyone's mind the players on sambaroo 2.0 are upset to see silas
go as for the first time all game sambaroo was in the minority at the reward challenge we see
kim johnson try to hand signal to her former baron members on who to vote for if they were
to go to tribal council sambaroo ultimately ends up winning the challenge earning them a buffet
and of course some mountain dew to wash it all down gotta love those sponsors however the more
important thing on sanboru's mind is how they can get the numbers even once again as with a merge
more than likely to come in at 10 this would be their last shot to not enter the merge in
the minority at the mewti challenge while sambaroo doesn't throw it i'm sure the young players didn't
mind baron winning as they were now able to put their plan into action brandon knew he was the
target for the original baron but since he had no votes and knew he could beat big time in a trivia
challenge the sambaroo members were confident they could get the numbers back even however
while talking about this plan kelly overhears the plan since brandon wasn't whispering and she went
back to tell baron that lindsay was the one who they should vote for tonight instead at tribal
brandon's lack of awareness comes back to bite stambrew as brown votes for lindsay and settle
brandon and due to her four past votes lindsay is sent home over tom giving barron six four
numbers heading into the merge tom how many votes have you had cast against you none that i know
lindsay a couple four maybe that's enough you need to bring me your torch
lindsey the tribe has spoken
episode 7 begins with the tribes being sent to the immunity challenge and only then are they
told that the two tribes are now merged and this will be an individual immunity challenge in the
first installment of this classic hand overhead challenge clarence and teber battled it out for
over six hours teresa and clarence then agreed to sell this in a rock paper scissors battle
while also agreeing not to vote for each other at tribal teresa beats clarence and the big
man finally steps down giving t-bird the first individual immunity of the season the 10 players
then arrive at bronze camp for the traditional merge feast and some of them bond for the first
time while others reunite with their old tri-mates since baron had six to four numbers and seeing how
dominant the physical beast in clarence was at that challenge lex proposes a plan to vote
him out as braun would still have the numbers they would take out a massive immunity threat
and clarence was still obviously at the bottom of baron anyway so at tribal everyone agrees to
lex's plan voting out clearance unanimously or well not unanimously as lex received two votes
which will play a massive role in not only the following episode but it would ultimately shape
the rest of the season i do want to talk a little more about clarence here as he's really one of my
favorite forgotten about players to be at the bottom all game due to a kind deed and then go
home after making a deal with sweeto t-bird had to be pretty rough i do wonder if he would have
flipped on baron had the same brew members on broad 2.0 not been so against each other
either way gotta respect clearance for the way he played the game despite his mistreatment
clearance tribe has spoken
episode eight is a secret scenes episode but episode nine begins with lex immediately on
edge trying to figure out who else voted for him at tribal t-bird obviously keeps quiet about this
as she knows the more tension within the tribe the better the nine players then compete in their
first individual reward challenge to which ethan wins anna likes to bring lex with him to visit an
african village this is when i think ethan truly became a beloved figure in survivor as seeing him
bond with the people of africa was a really neat moment the smiles on their faces were you know
amazing and i think i made their day and then as we were leaving i you know i threw it to one of
the little ones and i gave him gave him a hacky sack he's like oh thank you thank you thank you
it's hard to describe in words everything that was going on in my head and my you know body and
it was a day i will never ever forget like for the rest of my life when the two return lex continues
to try and gather info about who his second vote was and ultimately comes to the conclusion
that it was kelly making her his new target at the immunity challenge ethan once again wins
securing his safety at tribal lex once again tries to get everyone on board
to vote out his target in kelly however kelly gets win that she's in danger and approaches the
old sambaroo members with a plan to target lex as joining up with the force in brew would mean
lex would go home in a 5-4 vote however at tribal council brandon sides with lex amberon as he did
not want to vote or be in a long-term alliance with frank as the two had butted heads all game
and frank appeared to not take too kindly to brandon being gay and because of this
brandon voted out kelly sending her to the jury in a 5-4 blind side
kelly the tribe has spoken
while i get where brandon was coming from emotionally this strategically obviously
did not make sense whatsoever as this lily could have flipped the game around instead the bronze 4
are now super tight and sambaru is in shambles once again and man got a feel for kelly going
home due to lux's paranoia when it should have been obvious that t-bird and clarence probably
more than likely made a deal during the merge and beauty challenge anyway the final eight
round begins with sam bru obviously furious at brandon's decision to vote out kelly and to
make matters worse for brandon lebron also don't know if he's a guy they can trust long term after
his flip at tribal at the reward challenge the a compete in four pairs and ironically the pair of
brandon and frank two complete polar opposites win the challenge much to everyone's amusement
the two's reward was getting to see a private screening of out of africa with some movie
foods to go along with it again brandon ludy tanked his game because he hated frank so much
and now here they were watching a movie together in the middle of kenya africa
you cannot script this despite the two differences they do actually somewhat bond during the movie
back at camp kim powers realized she and brandon were now at the bottom and tries to ingratiate
herself into the majority at the fire making immunity challenge lex wins his first immunity
he once again tries to take command of the tribe as he desperately wants to keep brandon around
believing that brandon would be a solid number but at tribal council with nobody else trusting
brandon even the bronze go away from lex's plan sending brendan to the jury in a 6-2 vote
brandon the tribe has spoken
following tribal lex is upset at his boron alliance for not voting with him but the
four realized that they have a clear path now to the final four with their 4 3 numbers
the auction is then once again held and if any season needed an auction it was this season as
it had been nearly a month of brutal african conditions for the final seven the players
got some much needed food and luxuries and we also got this hilarious moment from big time
at the meaty challenge lex wins his second beauty in a row leaving frank pretty much hopeless
as he was the target his frustration began the show as he got into a heated rant about
gun control in america leaving the players even more fed up with frank
however the women do realize that the bahrain men probably had a final 3 deal
and scooping up frank to blindside ethan might be their best move but at tribal the tribe simply
couldn't go another day with frank voting him out in a unanimous 6-1 right vote spoke
it's the final six now and the baron 4 is still solid with t-bird and kim powers obviously on
the bottom at the reward challenge the players are asked questions that their loved ones were
also asked and if they match responses with their loved ones they would get a point in the end lex
won the challenge and elects to bring tom with him to an overnight stay at a safari resort at
the meaty challenge the six players must throw runges at pods and the last player with at least
one pot left would win immunity tom would end up winning the challenge securing his first
individual immunity t-bird knowing she desperately needed to make a move tried to get time to flip to
her and kim's side as she felt tom was most likely to flip on lex as he was the one most vocal about
lex's plan to try to save brandon and remember all they needed was time to flip as lex would go
home over kim or t-bird due to the amount of past votes he had on his name however at tribal council
the brawn four stick together and choose to vote out kim making her the fourth member of the jury
the final five compete in a word scramble challenge as their last reward challenge of
the season lex continued his challenge dominance and won a new chevrolet avalanche during his
reward though lex feels he may be making himself an outcast from the rest of the players and the
other players do come to realize how much more peaceful it is without lex and having to deal with
his paranoia but at the immediate challenge and he hoped to get rid of lex went away as he won the
past mistakes obstacle course challenge securing his third immunity of the season in another act of
desperation t-bird finally amidst the lex that she was the one to vote for him at the merge
tribal council however she lies about what really happened and claims that tom was the one that
abides her to vote for him in hopes of angering lex this works to perfection as with lexby and lex
tom became his new target and campaigned to kim and ethan to take him out unfortunately for t-bird
the brawn members feel they've come so far and had to take out the jury threat in theresa and the
four banded together to vote her out making her the final original saberu member to be eliminated
theresa the tribe has spoken
i really forgot just how hard t-bird fought here in the end game and it really just goes to show
how robbed we were to not see her come back for second chance it is now the finale and while it
certainly was a bumpy ride the bronze four achieved their mission to be the final four
however i will say it was really the brawn three as tom ethan and lex was the true alliance that
formed very early on in the game and kim was now clearly on the outside of this final four alliance
however after tribal lex confronts tom about what theresa had told him and while he denies it he
does admit that he advised theresa to vote for lex prior to the swap due to this lack of trust ethan
and lex confirmed their final two deal and wonder if they should take out tom at 4 instead of kim
however their decision becomes very easy as kim wins her first immunity at the fallen
comrades question challenge thus stunning tom holm as he was the only other option
big tom goodbye to you thank you smoker
there was of course some controversy here as the final question was which female contestants had no
piercings kim won the challenge by answering kelly but unbeknown to the producers lindsay also had
no piercings and she was lex's answer thus at the very least there should have been a tiebreaker and
if lex beat kim more than likely he wins the game and kim goes home at four due to this error both
tom and lex were given the second place money of a hundred thousand dollars but still you'd hate to
see the end game of survivor be ruined over such an easily avoidable mistake nonetheless kim lex
and ethan are now the final three and honor their fallen comrades before heading into the final
community challenge the final mu challenge returns to the season one format as the players have to
keep at least one hand on the idol for as long as possible ethan accidentally slips and due to lex
being sick kim outlast him after over three hours winning her second straight immunity guaranteeing
herself a spot in the final two at tribal kim votes out lex as she was more close with ethan
and also knew that lex would be a tough beat and lex's wild but memorable africa run came to an end
flex travis spoke
kim and ethan reflect on the 39 day run in africa before facing off against the jury
ethan was obviously loved by the jury for his lovable personality
but he had a pretty terrible final travel council performance literally telling brandon to his face
that he was the least deserving player out of everyone on the jury thus losing his vote he
lost kim power's vote as well but months later disguised in front of a live studio audience
it was revealed that ethan received the other five votes winning survivor africa
becoming the third sole survivor and to this day remains one of the most beloved winners ever
the winner of survivor africa
