The strain in Survivor Season 43 is rising. With simply 26 days of recreation play, the ultimate seven was already on the horizon for the remaining rivals. And Survivor Season 43 Episode 10, “Get That Money, Baby,” noticed the surprising elimination of one of many season’s strongest gamers.
Last week, Noelle orchestrated a profitable James blindside. Ryan was despatched to the jury together with him within the second of two eliminations, ending the season-long rivalry between him and Cassidy. Episode 10 started with the everyday post-Tribal Council talks, throughout which Karla processed the truth that she was unnoticed of a vote for the primary time, Sami’s technique got here into query, and Jesse revealed in confessional that almost all everybody is aware of about Karla’s hidden immunity bracelet.
The present rapidly minimize to the Reward Challenge, which was a recreation of stability and luck. Players began off by spinning round in a metallic body that unwound a buoy. Once the buoy was reeled in on the bottom, they ran throughout a web and over a skinny beam to gather a sandbag. If they fell off the beam, they needed to begin it over. Once throughout, the primary individual to land that sandbag on the highest of a tall pole gained the sanctuary reward for themselves and three different gamers. Pizza, beer, a cushty evening’s relaxation, and letters from residence have been ready for them on the sanctuary.
Noelle struggled drastically with the stability beam portion due to her prosthetic leg. After a number of retries, it appeared like a loss was all however assured. But in a shocking comeback that Jeff Probst praised as one of many sequence’ greatest, she caught up and gained together with her second hand toss. Fast-forward to the top of the episode, nonetheless, and Noelle was voted out. Here’s how her elimination got here to cross.

Noelle selected Owen, Jesse, and Sami to affix her within the sanctuary. While they relaxed and browse letters from residence, Cody, Karla, Cassidy, and Gabler started to make plans for Tribal. Noelle’s identify was dropped a number of instances because the gamers famous how a lot traction she was getting. After the profitable James blindside final week and a formidable problem earlier (and all through the season), they feared being towards her within the closing three would end in a lack of $1 million.
Of course, the vote plans trusted who gained particular person immunity. But heading into the problem, Cassidy turned the subsequent participant to need to carry free-agent Gabler into her alliance fold. (He’s loving the place he’s at, however how lengthy can — or will — he skate by within the background?)
For the Day 19 Immunity Challenge, gamers used one hand to regular a balancing board whereas concurrently constructing a home of playing cards with the opposite. The first to construct a home of playing cards tall sufficient to achieve the end mark gained immunity. It was an unattainable job for a very long time — it took quarter-hour for one participant to get remotely shut for the primary time. The towers saved tumbling down till Cassidy gained 30+ minutes into the sport.
Back at camp, Noelle needed to change her recreation plan. The unique purpose was to separate the votes between Cassidy and Karla in case the latter performed an idol. Gabler warned Noelle that Cassidy and Karla have been coming after her, positing Sami because the one participant who would doubtlessly flip towards the Paralympian. Even although she introduced him to the sanctuary, Noelle’s belief in Sami was nonexistent. Still, she set her eyes on eliminating Karla due to her attainable (confirmed) idol.
Jesse and Cody weren’t as sure-fire alliances for Noelle as she and Gabler thought. They each noticed her as the most effective gamers within the recreation, making the goal on her large. “Every time we box her in, she finds a way out. We can’t have it,” Jesse instructed Cody, who replied, “She’s picking up speed for sure.” They rightly guessed that Noelle was attempting to vote out Karla, after which theorized she’d come for them subsequent. So a plan was hatched to get her out.

Jesse’s blindside guidelines then popped up on display screen:
1. Have a Cover Story
Jesse instructed Noelle that his discuss with Cody was about returning an idol. He performed alongside when Noelle instructed him to speak to Sami a couple of Karla blindside.
2. Throw the Fall Guy Under the Bus
Jesse made Sami imagine they’d get Noelle out collectively. That was his intention, however what he didn’t inform Sami was that he’d achieve this by splitting the votes on him. Jesse threw Sami underneath the bus by telling Noelle and Owen about Sami’s voting plan. The new “plan”: the three Baka guys (Owen, Gabler, Sami) would go on Karla, after which Noelle, Jesse, and Cody would go on Sami.
In secret talks, Jesse knowledgeable Karla of Noelle’s impending blindside. They deliberate to vote for Noelle together with Cody and Cassidy.
3. Have a Backup Plan
To guarantee that they had the votes, Jesse tried to carry Gabler into their plan. “I want him to envision himself in the power position” after this vote, Jesse instructed the cameras. He defined how good Noelle’s voting has been all season lengthy, declaring that getting Noelle out would put them and Cody in an influence place.
Gabler was recreation, however he’s already scheming to separate up the Jesse and Cody “power couple” sooner or later with Karla. The rivals are actually maintaining the jury in thoughts always.
Did Noelle verify the identical issues off the blindside record? She and Jesse each had the identical fall man in Sami. We didn’t see a lot of a canopy story, moderately only a plan to maintain issues quiet. What was her backup plan?
Tribal Council made clear that Noelle and Owen haven’t improved their social technique regardless of massive wins in current weeks. They each have been assured their joint plan may occur once more, however we didn’t see any backup plans being made for any attainable final result by them.

“There must be constant lack of certainty that the last conversation you had is the last one you needed to have,” Jeff requested Cody. He replied, “Strategy talk changes throughout the day, person by person, hour by hour.”
The look on Noelle’s face simply earlier than the vote implied she was slowly beginning to catch on, however then she introduced up secret idols to focus on the key Karla plan. But Karla’s idol was a menace to nobody however Noelle this week. Her failure to appreciate she wanted a much bigger fish to fry resulted in Jesse’s blindside succeeding over hers.
The votes started with one vote every for Karla, Noelle, and Sami, adopted by another every for the ladies. Noelle acquired two extra votes, which have been sufficient to ship her residence. Jesse hugged her, apologized, and stated “I had to do it” as she obtained as much as depart. But as he instructed Jeff earlier than the votes, if his plan succeeded, it will arrange the remainder of his recreation. We’ll discover out subsequent week if he realizes the goal he simply positioned on his again, and if Owen and Sami understand folks see them as expendable.
