'Survivor: Worlds Apart' No Collar "Nargarote" tribe votes off Vince Sly

Survivor: Worlds Apart eliminated Vince Sly during the second episode of the CBS reality competition's 30th season on Wednesday night. 


Vince, a 32-year-old coconut vendor from Santa Monica, CA, was voted out of his No Collar tribe, called the "Nargarote" tribe, on Day 6 at the season's second Tribal Council session.

"These are some players. They're players. They made a good move because I was going to take them all out. But this was seriously one of the greatest experiences that I've ever had, and I enjoyed exploring every element of myself -- aspects that are otherwise unexpressed or unexplored -- and every opportunity that was shown to me. This, this was fantastic!" Vince said following his ouster.

The second episode of Survivor Worlds Apart began with a glimpse into the Blue Collar tribe.

The Blue Collar "Escameca" tribe is made up of Kelly Remington, a 44-year-old state trooper from Grand Island, NY; Sierra Dawn Thomas, a 27-year-old barrel racer from Roy, UT; Mike Holloway, a 38-year-old oil driller from North Richland Hills, TX; Lindsey Cascaddan, a 24-year-old hairdresser from College Park, FL; Dan Foley, a 47-year-old postal worker from Gorham, ME; and Rodney Lavoie Jr., a 24-year-old general contractor from Boston, MA.


On Day 4, Dan lost his underwear and created a weird diaper-looking article of clothing to sport instead. Lindsey called Dan's social game "dumb" because he was trying to be "funny or entertaining" since he had already lost the novelty of being "annoying" and "the fat guy."

Then viewers saw what the White Collar tribe was up to.

The White Collar "Masaya" tribe is comprised of Tyler Fredrickson, a 33-year-old ex-talent agent assistant from Los Angeles, CA; Carolyn Rivera, a 52-year-old corporate executive from Tampa, FL; Max Dawson, a 37-year-old media consultant with a Ph.D from Topanga, CA; Shirin Oskooi, a 31-year-old Yahoo executive from San Francisco, CA; and Joaquin Souberbielle, a 27-year-old marketing director from Valley Stream, NY.

The group finally made fire for the first time, and they were struggling to get the necessities around camp to sustain life. Max, a student and fan of Survivor, went skinny dipping to pay tribute to "the greats" who played the game before him. Tyler didn't know if Max was trying to distract people from how smart he is and how well he knows the game. However, Max seemed to have no motive other than enjoying himself and spending some time alone.

Shirin called Max "a trendsetter" and then joined in the fun by losing her bikini bottom. The guys in the tribe appeared uncomfortable around her.


On that same day, waves were being created in the No Collar tribe.

At this point in the game, the No Collar "Nargarote" tribe featured Vince; Jenn Brown, a 22-year-old sailing instructor from Long Beach, CA; Hali Ford, a 25-year-old law student from San Francisco, CA; Joe Anglim, a 25-year-old jewelry designer from Scottsdale, AZ; Nina Poersch, a 51-year-old hearing advocate from Palmdale, CA; and Will Sims II, a 41-year-old YouTube sensation from Sherman Oaks, CA.

Hali was trying to get to know Nina better, but it was very hard to converse with her since she's deaf. Vince was surprised that the girls were making snarky remarks about Nina behind her back. Vince thought the No Collars were supposed to be naturally kind-hearted and compassionate people. Nina told the cameras she felt excluded since Day 1, and all the girls went skinny dipping without asking Nina to join them.

Nina cried about how hard it was, and she felt like she didn't belong. Nina then called Hali and Jenn out for ignoring her. Jenn didn't feel the need to "coddle" Nina just because she had a disability, but she realized that for the sake of the game, she had to baby her a little bit going forward. Will called Nina "lost."

On Day 5, Mike on the Blue Collar tribe was frustrated he was doing so much work around camp as other people played. Mike said stuff had to be done to survive, but Rodney believed Mike was just pushing people's buttons and that could ultimately put a target on his back. Mike was surprised the Blue Collar people didn't work harder, since that is the stereotype of how they live their daily lives.


Meanwhile, Vince similarly thought he worked harder than anyone at camp but Joe still got to be Mr. Popular. Vince said Joe liked being the center of attention and it pissed him off. Joe assured Vince they were good, but Vince felt like he wasn't being completely truthful -- that he had an ego. It was clearly a fight over power between the two men, who each wanted to be the provider for his tribe. Their dynamic made their tribemates uncomfortable.

Joe thought Vince had a lot of issues and was a "loose cannon." Nina and Vince aligned in the meantime and agreed they didn't trust Joe, Jenn and Hali. Jenn expected Vince to go nuts at some point, calling him "dangerous" and "on another planet." 

"I feel he's just a little too No Collar for his own good," Jenn told the cameras.

The following day, on Day 6, the three tribes gathered and met Survivor host Jeff Probst for their second Immunity Challenge of the season.

Jeff explained that, one at a time, they had to dive into the water and swim up to a platform where they'd find buoys attached to a rope. They had to maneuver those buoys through a series of obstacles, swim to the "finish platform," and then the next person could go. Once all five buoys were collected, they were required to toss them into a basket.


The first two tribes to land all five buoys in the basket would win immunity and also Reward. The tribe to finish in first place would receive a massive fishing kit, while the second-place tribe would earn themselves a line, spear and lures for fishing. The tribe to finish in last place would receive nothing and must vote one of their own out of the game at the next Tribal Council.

Kelly sat out for the Blue Collar, as did Nina for the No Collar tribe.

In the end, the No Collar people had trouble landing a single basket. Will also proved he wasn't a great swimmer. Therefore, the White Collar tribe ended up winning -- which was a massive leap forward for them considering they finished the prior challenge in last place -- and the Blue Collar tribe finished in second place.

Knowing a No Collar member would have to go home, Vince thought it was going to be an epic battle between himself and Joe. He called their relationship "a Cold War with missiles pointed."

The No Collar tribe had to make a decision of whom to vote off, and they admitted they weren't any good at decision-making since they're all free spirits. Will performed poorly in the challenge and Vince -- although they were allies -- started to worry about his health and how that might affect future challenges. Everyone was feeling the lack of sleep and nutrition, but Will's body seemed to be taking it the hardest.


Despite Will's questionable condition, Vince wanted to blindside Joe and make a power move by getting rid of a power player. He knew, however, Joe's elimination would dampen their chances of winning future Immunity Challenges.

A discussion then took place amongst Nina, Will and Vince. They felt the need to stay true to each other because they were basically all misfits.

Jenn and Joe then suggested to Will they vote out Vince. Joe changed his mind though, saying they should keep an eye on Nina because she'd eventually look for any opening available to align with people who wanted to work with her.

Joe told Will they should keep the tribe strong and vote Nina off because they needed strength, and being 54-years-old, Nina couldn't bring much to the table. It was obvious Nina was on the bottom and she appeared to go off looking for a hidden Immunity Idol.

Joe therefore told Hali and Jenn to vote Vince and then Will and himself would vote out Nina. By splitting the vote, if Nina played her idol, Vince would go home. But if Nina didn't have an idol, they would re-vote and send her packing. Will agreed to the plan, and Joe hoped he was being honest because he had been spending a lot of time with Nina.

Will told the cameras he didn't want to vote Nina out because they had a lot in common and got along well. Will thought they were both outsiders. He then told Nina and Vince he wanted to work with them instead, revealing Joe's plan to split the vote. Joe knew that if he sided with Vince and Nina, they'd control the tribe.


Vince wanted to target Joe since he was "a huge threat" although an asset in challenges. Vince also told his allies he also didn't trust Jenn at all. Will assured Vince he was with them and asked for his trust. Will then told Nina to vote for Jenn.

Vince later had a side-conversation with Nina about Will's health. Vince was concerned, but Will called that bullsh-t because they had lost the challenge due to their inability to shoot the buoys into the basket. Will was pissed off that Vince said that, and so he began questioning whether Vince was trying to blindside him.

Will started to think that Joe just needed him as a number to secure his alliance's vote and Vince may not be trustworthy. He knew he'd serve as the swing vote and had a tough decision to make.

At Tribal Council that night, lines were drawn, and it was announced that Joe, Hali and Jenn were working together. Vince explained he was trying to be the glue that kept his tribe tight and cohesive. Joe told Jeff Probst that the person they were voting for was the person who needed to go home.

Jeff Probst then tallied the votes. Two people voted for Jenn, one castaway voted for Nina, and three tribemates voted to oust Vince from Survivor.

In the episode's closing credits, it was shown that Vince and Nina voted for Jenn, Joe voted for Nina, and then Hali, Jenn and Will all voted for Vince. 


Will was originally supposed to vote Nina with Joe in order to get her out, but it seemed like Will made a decision he thought was best for him, which was getting rid of Vince.
