Survivor: David vs. Goliath episode 9 secret scene resets post-tribal
After two idols were played in the Brochacho blindside, the Survivor: David vs. Goliath episode 9 secret scene shows an alternate view of camp.
The Davids have been one step ahead of the Goliaths ever since the beginning of the Survivor: David vs. Goliath merge. Even as they knowingly voted out Elizabeth, they sowed discord within the group, shattering their ability to come together and get on the same page. As such, the Davids piled their advantages together twice, the first target being the Mayor of Slamtown, John Hennigan.
It clearly shocked the Goliaths after they reached camp once again, as Survivor: David vs. Goliath episode 9 showed the fractures within the “Goliath strong” mantra. However, an alternate secret scene looks at a more David-centric celebration of the Brochacho Blindside they were able to pull off at the Final 12 Tribal Council.
Firstly, we get Angelina’s take as an outsider on how she didn’t expect two idols to be played, just how much the game is about the explode and where things go from here. It makes sense why this was taken out and, instead, replaced with Davie’s reaction to the vote; his calm, cool demeanor cut to him popping off over voting out John and getting his jacket is a great contrast compared to Angelina’s jacket-swipe attempt with Natalie.
The second half of the post-tribal camp secret scene just showers praise onto Nick from Christian and Gabby, with the Mason-Dixon Line explaining to Gabby why Christian was acting so weird in the day leading up to Tribal. One big reason I can think that it was cut was that it’s very weird. Normally, you don’t see glowing scenes of teammates essentially bowing down to others.

A big part of why you don’t see that? It makes it so much clearer who wins. Right now, I think that Nick, Christian and Gabby are the David favorites to win, and if that scene made it to air, it would be hard not to think Nick wins it all. It’s best to make things interesting for the viewers at home and not keep in a scene so blatantly in favor of one.
