Episode 9: Yes...No...Maybe

Previously on Survivor:

The two tribes were given Tree Mail informing them they'd be playing for both reward and immunity. When they got to the challenge, they were shocked to learn that both tribes would be going to Tribal Council and only one player from each tribe would be immune; they would compete against the other members of their own tribe for immunity. Each player was given six corn hole bean bags to throw at a board to rack up points. In the end, Michelle P for Lupus and Ben for Rutilus won Immunity. Then Michelle P won the additional speed-based corn hole Reward Challenge and was given the choice of either a Hidden Immunity Idol clue, or a note to be read at Tribal Council. She chose the note, giving the clue to Ben.

At Lupus' Tribal Council, many of the members of their tribe had only had to vote once before. Sarah said she wasn't shocked by the announcement of the double boot because she had come to expect twists. Lauren thought that old tribal lines from the original three teams would play a factor in the vote. But the vote ended up being split several ways, with Michael receiving the majority.

Michelle P was informed that she must sit in on Rutilus' Tribal Council and then would be given her note to read aloud. To prevent her from gaining any information, the entire Rutilus tribe agreed to only answer with "yes" or "no." When it came time to reveal the note, it said Michelle P must give her immunity necklace to a player on Rutilus. The tribe's tactic worked because she could not tell who might be on the chopping block. She finally settled on Michelle O, but unfortunately it was Tyler who really needed it when he was voted out unanimously. 13 are left. Who will be voted out next?
