Second-to-go Survivor Paul was booted from Sa’ula despite having shared his clue to a hidden immunity idol, giving Rob an immunity idol and Nathan’s clear injury and desire to go home. It was a big lesson – “Mr. Nice Guy” is not a great Survivor strategy, and a revelation: Steffi, Nicole and Rob were “Sa’ula strong” and starting to boss the game…

Only for them both to realise about the existence of the Amigos at Tribal Council.
But Steffi’s blindside may just take the cake – it was EPIC!
