Australian Survivor: Titans V Rebels
The Titans were largely controlled by the “Middle Aged Mafia” alliance of older players like Caroline and Mark, while the Rebels saw strategic minds Kirby and Feras butt heads and seek to weaken one another's influence.
Kirby and Feras fought for control of the new Titans tribe, with players like Valeria playing the middle and keeping both sides at each other's throats.
However, the former Rebels turned on one another near the end, with Feras and Raymond betraying Kirby and Rianna as major threats while Mark won key immunity challenges to keep himself alive.
Caroline defended her attempts to swing the game that did not work out, while Feras explained how he deceived people and created paranoia by holding onto his idol for so long.
Twenty-four new contestants are divided into two tribes of twelve: “Titans”, representing the best of their respective professions, and “Rebels”, embodying a more free-spirited nature.
Alex takes charge of constructing a shelter and comments on the tribe unity, though Kelli is starting to grate on people's nerves.
At the Titans beach, Eden is worried about the number of strong men on his tribe and bonds instead with the older players like Mark.
He and Mark point out the dynamic of the strong players banding together and suggest breaking up the power trio of Nathan, Frankie and Jaden.
At the Rebels camp, Kelli is starting to annoy people with her loud personality, and Alex predicts that she won’t last longer than three Tribal Councils.
Mark and Eden celebrate their successful play and hope to remain in the shadows as the “invisible hand” guiding the votes while letting others like Jess take the credit.
Back at the Titans camp, Winna finds an idol clue hidden inside a banana, sharing it with Jaden to solidify their alliance.
Back at the Rebels camp, Alex is excited to go to Tribal Council and crafts a plan to split the votes between Kelli and Raymond.
Alex feels foolish for throwing the challenge after Peta's blindside and still wants Kelli out, but knows he has to make amends with the tribe to stay safe.
At the Rebels camp, Sarah is upset about Tobias leaving, and Kelli tearfully confesses to changing her vote, but doesn’t explain why.
Kelli arrives at the Titans camp and explains why she was evicted from her tribe, but is vague about the true nature of the "treasure box", causing suspicion.
At the Rebels camp, Alex celebrates the peace and quiet that comes with Kelli's departure, but hopes she will return to them after the next Tribal Council.
At the Titans camp, Kelli reflects on her decision to sit out the immunity challenge, saying she likes her new tribe mates and didn’t want to sabotage them.
Kelli returns to the Rebels tribe and claims to have orchestrated Nathan's vote-out, but is criticised for volunteering to sit out of the immunity challenge.
At the Titans camp, Eden and Caroline discuss Mark's close relationship with Viola and Valeria and contemplate making a move to break them up.
At Tribal Council, Rianna comments on the cracks in the majority alliance after Viola's blindside, hoping she can exploit them to survive.
At Tribal Council, Aileen pushes for the original Rebels to stay strong against the old Titans, and is rebuked by Charles for it, causing her and Feras to consider switching their votes onto him.
At the Titans camp, Valeria is upset about losing one of her close allies, but is glad that Kirby stayed loyal despite the twist, planning to stick to her until the merge.
Kitty regrets her aggressive behaviour at last night's tribal council, hoping to make amends with the tribe and lower her threat level.
Back at camp, Eden is upset that he wasn’t chosen, and worries that it was a mistake to bring both Valeria and Caroline after the harsh words they exchanged at the last vote.
Meanwhile at the barbecue, Mark implores the group to make amends and join forces moving forward, but Caroline feels deeply hurt by Valeria's comments at tribal council.
Raymond expresses his desire to break out from Feras' shadow and make moves of his own, hoping to trick his tribe mates into all voting for him so he can use his advantage.
Feras tells the group that Raymond is despondent about voting out Jaden and is close to quitting the game, hoping to help him pull off his advantage.
Kitty points out Kirby's huge resume in the game and Raymond believes the recent immunity wins puts a bigger target on her back.
Feras debates whether to target Caroline or Kirby tonight, and Mark suggests the latter, arguing the jury would view him as weak for failing to take her out.
Feras explains his desire to represent his values and culture while having fun, and how he navigated the tribe swap and made big, risky moves post-merge.
