Survivor South Africa: Return of the Outcasts Episode 16 (11 August) summary.

The ‘No BS’ alliance pulled off their second consecutive blindside to send Meryl packing for Ponderosa after using her vote to help snuff Steffi’s torch at the previous Tribal Council.

Just like Steffi, Meryl heads to Ponderosa with an advantage in her pocket in the form of her 50/50 Coin. Marian, enraged by the Steffi blindside and blaming Meryl, told Felix and Dino about Meryl holding multiple advantages. When Marian pipped Tejan to win Individual Immunity, Meryl told Phil that she would play her Tribal Pass to send Marian back to camp, evening out the votes and sending Shane or Killarney home. With the No BS alliance amused by Meryl’s plan, Phil’s revelation of the plan to Marian sealed the vote against her. 

When Meryl duly played her Tribal Council Pass, Marian countered it by bequeathing her Individual Immunity Necklace to Shane. Meryl still had her 50/50 Coin in reserve if she felt unsafe, but, confident that she had won over the No BS alliance, she didn’t play it – and then found herself on the wrong side of the vote when Shane, Killarney, Phil, Dino and Felix wrote her name down.
