Last week saw the boldest move of this season of M-Net\u2019s Survivor South Africa: Philippines so far, as PK blindsided alliance partner Tevin to send him home, guaranteeing a shock for Visayas and Luzon when they see the new-look Mindanao arrive at this week\u2019s first challenge. What that does to the scattered \u2018Mindanao Strong\u2019 alliance members remains to be seen \u2013 and will it inspire members of the other tribes to make big moves of their own?<\/p>\n

With just 11 Castaways left in the game, talk of when the merge will arrive is a hot topic. Having already seen the tribes shuffled, split and swapped over the last few weeks, the Castaways know that the only thing they can expect is the unexpected.<\/p>\n

Josie was left counting her lucky stars when PK approached her about voting out Tevin last week, but she\u2019ll have to work hard to drive a wedge between Toni and PK this week to save herself again, if Mindanao lose the Immunity Challenge and head to Tribal Council.<\/p>\n

Tom knows the writing is on the wall for him at Visayas, too, after sensing that Chan\u00e9 has abandoned their alliance in favour of joining Vusi and Palesa. It was likely only Vusi\u2019s refusal to \u2018throw\u2019 last week\u2019s Immunity Challenge that kept the Adventure Camp Manager in the game, and he\u2019ll have to work hard to repair the reemerging rifts at the yellow beach if he\u2019s to have any hope of prolonging his stay in the game.<\/p>\n

Tevin\u2019s departure is going to give Luzon\u2019s Werner plenty of food for thought \u2013 does he make his much-pondered move to cut Jeanne to improve the tribe\u2019s chances at physical challenges, or does he work to remove newcomer Annalize to keep the tribe\u2019s blood blue? Having two Immunity Idols in his bag will only keep him in the game if he doesn\u2019t get blindsided by the women on the tribe, who outnumber him 3-1.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to keep your enemies closer than your friends, when you\u2019re not sure who\u2019s who\u2026 Tune in to Survivor SA: Philippines this Thursday at 19:00 on M-Net 101 to see who dares.<\/p>\n
