It continued to feature the reduced 26 days of gameplay, with 18 contestants starting in three tribes, as with every season since then. [3] A sneak peek of the castaways' audition tapes were revealed on the Survivor Instagram account in the form of a story, which were deleted after twenty-four hours. [4]

The 18 new castaways began their adventure.
Nami won the challenge. Siga, the second tribe to finish, chose Savvy. Back at camp, Jelinsky and Q were chosen to do Sweat for Yanu, which was to haul sea water using buckets that had holes in them. The back and forth was tough for both, and Jelinsky decided to quit with more than half their time left. At Siga, Ben and Charlie also failed at the Savvy word scramble puzzle. At Nami, Venus was caught by Randen after trying to find an idol, as he thought she was being sneaky. During Day 2, the tribes had to choose one person to go on a journey. Jelinsky from Yanu volunteered. Siga chose Maria, and Nami chose Tevin. The three were taken to a beach where they had to draw a card and try to convince the torch cardholder they were holding the vote card. Maria drew the torch card. Jelinsky, who had the skull, tried to convince Maria but gave up quickly and forfeited his vote at the upcoming Tribal Council. Maria and Tevin gained an extra vote advantage.
Nami and Siga won immunity. At camp, Jess shared she wasn't confident in her performance in the game. Jelinsky feigned nervousness but still felt confident that he would stay. Tiffany then found a Beware Advantage and solved the clue for the location of the key to unlock a hidden immunity idol. At Tribal Council, while tribe members spoke about difficulties connecting socially with Jess, they voted unanimously for Jelinsky to be the first person eliminated from the game. [13] [14] | ||||||
663 | 2 | "Scorpio Energy" | 0.61/7 [15] | March 6, 2024 | 4.43 [15] | |
Bhanu confided in Kenzie that he did not feel secure in the game. Meanwhile, Q and Tiffany were concerned about Kenzie's threat level because she easily made connections with people. At Nami, tribemates felt they couldn't connect with Venus. At Siga, Ben successfully made fire to the delight of everyone. Tim was concerned about Maria's extra vote advantage. While having an alliance with the women, Charlie and Maria made a strong pair together, effectively putting the two of them in the middle. Back at Nami, both Venus and Randen felt unsafe so they went on idol searches, and Randen found the Beware Advantage. He also approached Venus for an alliance. At Yanu, when Kenzie pulled Jess and Bhanu for a chat where she thought to take out Q and Tiffany, Jess saw this as an opportunity and told Q about the plan, which made him become even more cautious with Kenzie as an ally.
After the grueling puzzle, Yanu lost again. Despite Nami's win, Venus was angry because the wagon was dragged over her toe. At Yanu, tribemates were concerned that Jess would play her Shot in the Dark, so they made a fake idol. Tiffany tried to direct Jess to the location of their fake idol, but she didn't see it. Q devised a plan to sneak it to her directly instead. Jess was worried at first, so she talked to Tiffany about voting Kenzie out, but Tiffany recognized her plan. At Tribal Council, a paranoid Bhanu whispered to Kenzie and Tiffany, but Jess was sent home after playing the fake idol. | ||||||
664 | 3 | "Wackadoodles Win" | 0.75/9 [16] | March 13, 2024 | 4.78 [16] | |
Despite being saved, Bhanu still felt paranoid, though Q gave him a pep talk. At Siga, Jem discovered a Beware Advantage. At Nami, Venus targeted Hunter, feeling he had the most social connections out of everyone on the tribe. Meanwhile, Randen woke up having the medic check him out as he felt numb on one side of his body and was unable to move his hand.
Yanu lost yet another challenge. Jeff then informed the tribes that they would be sending one member for a journey. For placing first, Nami chose the participants; Liz from Nami, Ben from Siga, and Bhanu from Yanu went. Bhanu broke down and disclosed all of Yanu's dynamics to Ben and Liz. The challenge began with each player picking a rock, with the two who pulled blue rocks from the bag competing in a timed puzzle. Ben and Bhanu were the two competing, but both were unable to complete it in the time limit, so they both lost their vote in the next Tribal Council. At Yanu, Tiffany and Kenzie talked Q out of falling on his sword due to his poor tossing segment. Coming back from the journey, Bhanu kept quiet with his tribemates that he lost his vote. He decided to let Q know, and Q considered keeping Bhanu rather than a social threat like Kenzie. Before Tribal Council, Jeff showed up at the Nami camp, sharing that the medics who had checked out Randen earlier were concerned with the way his condition seemed to be progressing, and thus he was medically evacuated from the game. As a result, Yanu's Tribal Council was cancelled. | ||||||
665 | 4 | "Don't Touch the Oven" | 0.78/9 [17] | March 20, 2024 | 4.68 [17] | |
Tribemates were disappointed with how Bhanu had confessed to Ben and Liz about the dynamics of the Yanu tribe. Day 8's treemail alluded to a reward challenge for food, which Yanu hoped to trade for an earlier reward.
Yanu and Nami won the challenge. From Yanu, Q tried to train Bhanu on how to be more strategic and spill less information. At Siga, Maria found the locked box and the whole tribe dug, to no avail. Jem convinced Maria and Moriah that Tim was hiding the Beware Advantage from them. At Nami, Tevin became concerned about Soda's social prowess, so he suggested to Hunter and Liz that they vote her out if they lost the immunity challenge.
Yanu fell short once again. Knowing he was to go home that night, Bhanu tried to find an idol, but came up empty. At Tribal Council, Bhanu shared his life story and was comforted by his tribemates before being sent home without a formal vote. | ||||||
666 | 5 | "Tiki Man" | 0.70/8 [18] | March 27, 2024 | 4.72 [18] | |
Yanu lamented their continued losing status, and Q hinted to Kenzie that he wanted out of the game, but it was a ruse to make her feel comfortable enough to not play her Shot in the Dark. At Nami, Venus kept watch over Hunter as he searched for an advantage, but he was able to find the re-hidden Beware Advantage without her noticing. At Siga, Tim believed that Jem was the one who moved the Beware Advantage, but she denied it.
Nami placed first yet again and Yanu finally broke their losing streak. Hunter, Tim and Q were picked to go on a journey. The men discussed a final six strategy in which they each picked a plus-one. They then agreed on Hunter competing in the challenge, arranging twenty Survivor logos in chronological order within a certain amount of time, but he failed and lost his vote. At Siga, the women targeted Ben. Jem followed the Beware Advantage's note to an idol. Her method of convincing Ben and Tim she was on their side only made them distrust her more. Charlie and Maria were in the middle; Charlie hoped to work with Ben, as they had grown close, but Maria wanted to work with the women. At Tribal Council, they sided with the men and blindsided Jem with an idol in her possession, using Maria's extra vote to do so. | ||||||
667 | 6 | "Cancel Christmas" | 0.80/9 [19] | April 3, 2024 | 5.05 [19] | |
On Day 12, the tribes were notified that the individual phase of the game was to commence. Hunter found Nami's idol before Siga and Yanu were brought in. Yanu realized they were in the middle; Siga targeted Venus while Nami targeted Moriah.
Ben, Hunter, Kenzie, Q, Tevin, and Tim won the challenge. Tiffany also won due to correctly predicting them to win. The Yanu three correctly deduced that Siga was the tighter tribe and hoped to break that alliance up. At Tribal Council, Moriah disclosed that she was on the bottom of the Siga vote, which led everyone to distrust her since she had earlier said that vote was unanimous. She played her Shot in the Dark which failed, and only Charlie had voted Venus while everyone else voted out Moriah. | ||||||
668 | 7 | "Episode Several" | 0.69/8 [20] | April 10, 2024 | 4.64 [20] | |
Charlie admitted to voting Venus, to Q's chagrin. During the night, Ben had a panic attack and was comforted by Kenzie.
Ben, Hunter, Kenzie, Q, Tiffany, and Tim made up one group; Charlie, Liz, Maria, Soda, Tevin, and Venus made up the other group. Kenzie and Maria won immunity, with Maria winning reward for her group. The Yanu three were in the middle, but Q's bossiness and penchant for flip-flopping in his decision-making earned Kenzie and Tiffany's distrust. At Tribal Council, the Yanu three and Hunter voted out Tim. With the other group, Charlie was seemingly the easy target for the Nami four, but Tevin hoped to blindside Soda. Maria felt more inclined to vote out Venus, but at Tribal Council, everyone followed Tevin's lead and sent Soda to the jury, though Tevin himself voted Venus. | ||||||
669 | 8 | "Hide 'N Seek" | 0.77/9 [21] | April 17, 2024 | 4.84 [21] | |
Venus took credit for Soda's blindside, but Liz also claimed she wanted Soda out from the beginning. The next morning, Q asked Charlie if he wanted to join the alliance of six established at the journey. Later, Tiffany suggested to Tevin that they include Maria as a potential target; Tevin brought this to Q's attention, causing Q to want to blindside Tiffany.
Jeff offered a large bag of rice if four people sat out or if two sacrificed their votes. Though Q and Liz were willing to sit out, no one else wanted to. Hunter won the challenge, and Q was frustrated since multiple people lasted very little time in the challenge when they could have sat out for the rice. At camp, multiple people were on board with the plan against Tiffany, but Liz started rallying people against Tevin. That plan circled back to Q, and at Tribal Council, Q asked to be voted out since he felt responsible for someone else's dream ending due to the shifting in plans. This caused a live Tribal during which Tevin and Hunter tried to switch the plan to the easy vote in Venus, but everyone else joined Liz's plan to send Tevin to the jury. | ||||||
670 | 9 | "Spicy Jeff" | 0.74/8 [22] | April 24, 2024 | 4.91 [22] | |
Team purple had Maria, Hunter, and Charlie. Team yellow had Kenzie, Ben, and Tiff. Team green had Q, Liz, and Venus. Team yellow was eliminated in the first stage. Team green lost in the second stage. Hunter, Maria and Charlie then went head to head in stage three with Charlie outlasting Hunter to win immunity. | ||||||
