An \u201cAce\u201d up some tribe members\u2019 sleeves resulted in a surprise tribal council result in the very first strategy-packed and fast-paced episode of Survivor South Africa Philippines. Even though he played the South African version of the \u201cgreatest\u00a0game on Earth\u201d with gusto right from the moment he set foot on the island, property broker Seamus Holmes (25) from Durban, became the first castaway to be voted off this season at tribal council.<\/p>\n
Being an unapologetic villain, strategist and super fan of the Survivor worldwide franchise, Seamus planned to tell lies and orchestrate blindsides aplenty. Little did he know how his fellow Survivors would turn his craving for chaos into his own demise.<\/p>\n
When his tribe, Luzon, lost the immunity challenge \u2013 and the reward of fire – to tribe Mindanao, everything was going Seamus\u2019s way. Friendly \u201cmisfit\u201d and down-to-earth guy-next-door Ace was the tribe’s obvious target after he and adventure camp manager Tom didn\u2019t live up to their expectations during the fire-making challenge. In a genius move at the time, Seamus then started to plot against Tom, whom he quickly identified as a master of playing the social side of the game.<\/p>\n
It seemed as if everyone was buying into the plan to blindside Tom. In the meantime, however, Tom\u2019s friend Chan\u00e9, who believed that it was not Tom\u2019s time to go yet, persuaded her bestie Annalize that they had what it took to give Seamus a little bit of his own medicine \u2013 \u00a0blindsiding HIM! To pull this off they had to tell Tom about Seamus\u2019s strategy and in an unforeseen chain of events, Tom decided to confront the puppet master. That left the tribe divided with a group forming around Tom and others sticking to Seamus\u2019 alliance. The tables were now turned as the man at the top of the pack of cards \u2013 the swing vote whose decision at tribal council would seal either Tom or Seamus\u2019 fate \u2013 was now none other than the tribe\u2019s initial target, Ace.<\/p>\n
Did the fact that Tom consoled an\u00a0emotional and conflicted Ace the evening before, advising him to follow his heart,play a role when Ace wrote Seamus\u2019s name down? Or is Ace perhaps outsmarting his tribe mates from the get-go too? Only time will tell\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe turn of events in this week\u2019s Survivor SA just shows once again that everything is unpredictable on the island and that anything can happen at any time in this game,\u201d says M-Net\u2019s Head of Publicity, Lani Lombard. \u201cThese castaways all desperately want to win the game they love and will go to great lenghts to become the Sole Survivor. It\u2019s going to be an explosive series.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the Luzon tribe was plotting and scheming before their first tribal council, life was just as eventful at tribe Mindanao. One castaway killed a snake, another told all kinds of untruths and the search for a hidden immunity idol\u00a0began immediately.<\/p>\n
