There's Not Much Love To Go Around Here

 is the fifth episode of Survivor: Lithuania.

Day 13
Everyone’s favourite bully Lithuania Lumber Services appeared, throwing coloured stones at everyone, this way announcing the lately-suspected and very much long-awaited tribe swap.

The new Rūta tribe consisted of: Bubs, Evan, Frog, Kam, Neb, and Samb. The new Ąžuolas tribe was: Anubis, Matty, Nemo, Pendant, Piper, and Ryan. Both new tribes had the composition of 4-2 to the old Ąžuolas’ benefit. But one can never know in Survivor, now can they?

Pendant told Nemo their idol clue was an olympian, so Nemo looked for one himself for the Ąžuolas clue. Pendant also told Nemo about the Royal Choice twist with the urns, though Nemo did not really believe the latter.

The Ąžuolas tribe had an alliance formed with the OG Ąžuolas members: Anubis, Matty, Nemo, and Ryan. However, Anubis considered flipping on his OG tribe, to make things interesting, but still hoping to win the challenge to start with.

Day 14
Catnip tells a Lithuanian folk story about Eglė, queen of the (grass) snakes, which explains how some of the trees got their Lithuanian names. The players themselves had to become snakes in this game (if they hadn’t already done so) and also in Slither.io, which was the combined reward and immunity challenge for this round.

Both Ąžuolas and Rūta educated Catnip on what is a muffin and what is a cupcake.

Samb found the hidden immunity idol for Rūta. However, after spending almost an hour on the jigsaw, he only found an empty slot where the idol used to be.

Nemo once again showed himself as an absolute challenge beast and he alone got a higher score than the whole of Rūta combined. This meant that Ąžuolas won their 5th immunity challenge in a row (how many of you, readers, are losing count of it at this point? Let us know in the comments) and sent the new Rūta to tribal just the same as they did to the old one.

Azuolas received their second immunity idol clue:

This is a group known for singing.

Day 15
As the best performer in the losing tribe, Samb was presented with three urns, finding there a Leaf of Linden. This essentially worked as an extra vote, in more bland terms.

During tribal council, Kam used the Rūta hidden immunity idol that she found on Day 11. Her jigsaw puzzle performance and Catnip’s yarnwork saves her from going home, as she received all possible votes from her tribe. While this would usually mean her own vote for Neb would result in them going home, this was where the Black Vote twist came into very impactful play: as Keanu had cast his for Evan, a 1-1 tie between Evan and Neb occurred.

Frog decided to target Neb, due to their poor challenge performance, and convinced Samb to do the same. Neb was voted out unanimously on the revote. His black vote was cast on Samb, and is one of the most fun parchments we’ve ever seen.

Challenges
Immunity Challenge: Slither.io

In this challenge, the tribes were asked to play this classic game. As a snake, the task was to eat as many things as possible without eating the end of your own tail. The tribe with the highest cumulative score would win Immunity.

Trivia

 * Lithuania Lumber Services first appeared in Survivor: Meanjin as Meanjin Lumber Services. There, he also started cutting down trees (RIP the beautiful jacarandas), and with much time on his hands, he ended up traveling to Lithuania for this season. Talk about being clingy, right?
 * Neb’s Black Vote parchment for Samb was a rejection letter for his Nebvivor application. Later we learned that Samb was cast on that season of Nebvivor after all. Happy ending.
 * The episode title is authored by Samb, a phrase he said in a confessional. The other 3 candidates for this episode’s title were also all from Samb’s confessionals.
