Here’s everything you need to know about what happened in Survivor: South Pacific Episode 7: “Trojan Horse”. Feel free to add your notes, thoughts, and questions.

Aired October 26 2011, covering night 16 through night 18

Reward / Immunity Challenge winner: Upolu

Redemption Island: Christine defeats Mikayla, later joined by Ozzy

Eliminated: Mikayla

Player notes:

After the Redemption Island challenge, Ozzy first suggests to Cochran the possibility of going to Redemption Island as a strategic move in order to defeat Christine if they can’t win the next challenge
Cochran takes heavy criticism, both directly and indirectly for his part in the Reward Challenge loss for doing a poor job connecting players to the guidance rope
Cochran later basically volunteers himself to Redemption Island which the rest of the tribe readily accepts, and they give him a pep talk of sorts to defeat Christine
After a sleepless night, Ozzy decides to go back to his original plan of volunteering himself for Redemption Island, and reveals his Hidden Immunity Idol; they worry about the possibility of the merge not happening as they expect and Cochran having to fill in for Ozzy on an extended basis
Ozzy reveals his plans at Tribal Council, adding that he would lie to Christine and say Cochran found and played the Idol, making him a double agent

Friends & Foes:

Coach and Rick discuss the possibility of disaster of Brandon keeps having outbursts after the merge
Sophie put off by Coach’s fake prayer, asking for help finding the Hidden Immunity Idol when he knows he has it

Other notes:

Reward Challenge reward included a screening of the film Jack and Jill along with movie theater-style food
Prayer was very prominent in Upolu in this episode
Jeff called Ozzy’s vote one of the biggest moves in the game, based on an assumption that the merge will happen as expected
Ozzy leaves Tribal Council almost exuberant
