"That's what I wanna see": Fans react as Vesi Tribe helps Baka gain the second Immunity Idol in Survivor Season 43 Episode 4

Survivor Season 43 was back with yet another interesting episode on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, at 8 pm ET on CBS. The episode featured the remaining contestants putting their best foot forward to outwin and outlast fellow castmates and win the cash prize and the coveted title. The castaways strategized and made powerful game moves in the episode.

A shocking but equally interesting turn of events changed the course of the game. In the immunity challenge, for the first time in Survivor history, two tribes got together to send the third into the elimination round. After Vesi won the challenge, members from the tribe helped the Baka tribe complete the task, leaving the Coco tribe to go into the Tribal Council.

While fans were taken aback by the incident, they also approved of the move and took to social media to express their opinions. One tweeted:

Hosted by Jeff Probst, the official synopsis of Episode 4 reads:

"One tribe makes a strategic decision in this week's immunity challenge that sends another tribe to tribal council; one castaway's paranoia and overconfidence risks leading them to their downfall."

One tribe decides to help a fellow tribe on Survivor Season 43 Episode 4

In a move that no one saw coming, one Survivor tribe helped out another in a strategic decision that sent the third tribe with the most members into elimination.

For the immunity challenge, tribes had to find a ring of keys in a tower of sandbags, drag puzzle pieces under a net and then solve two puzzles by forming the pieces first into a square and later a triangle. To make members even, the Coco tribe sat out Geo and Cassidy while Baka sat out Jeanine.

For the first stage, where the castaways had to assemble the pieces into a square, all three tribes did equally well and were mostly even. Baka was the first tribe to finish the square puzzle first and then knock it down so the others couldn't copy. Vesi was the second to complete and quickly caught up with Baka.

Coco did manage to finish their square puzzle but it was too late. Vesi was the first to complete the challenge. Interestingly, the tribe pulled a strategic move. Noelle from the Vesi tribe worked with the struggling members of the Baka tribe so that the latter could secure the second Immunity Idol on Survivor and save themselves.

Narrating the situation, a surprised Jeff Probst said:

"Vesi is very clearly helping Baka....trying to tell them where their pieces go."

Baka tribe members followed the direction of Noelle and others from the Vesi tribe and managed to assemble the pieces into a triangle to secure the second spot at immunity. This resulted in Coco going into the Tribal Council with the most members out of the three tribes on Survivor.
