Overview
- All remaining players dropped buffs to form two new tribes of seven in a preannounced swap at the 14‑player mark.
- One tribe moved to a well‑equipped beach while the other returned to a bare camp, reviving a haves‑versus‑have‑nots dynamic that could shape morale and strategy.
- A beware advantage was completed ahead of Tribal Council, restoring a player’s voting power after a locked‑chest find using a recovered key.
- The first Tribal Council after the swap resulted in one player’s exit, underscoring an emerging majority‑versus‑minority storyline heading into the pre‑merge phase.
- The original Kele’s collapse culminated in its effective dissolution at the swap, with one castaway now the only player to have attended every Tribal Council this season.
