Surviving Barstool Season 5 Episode 4: The Game Everyone Loves To Hate
TLDR: The swap, the jury, and the first vote that anybody watching will still be arguing about at the finale. Three tribes became two out of a bag, and from here everybody voted out helps decide who takes the $250,000.

Pigeon and Worm, drawn out of a bag. All five of the old Roach players came out together and Rone was added to them on Worm; Pigeon took the rest — Marty Mush, Glenny Balls, Dana Beers, Ohio's Tate, Nicky Smokes and Dani Jackel. Jeff moved the goalposts on the way in: from here, whoever goes home sits on the jury.
Worm won the challenge, Attack Defend, 10-6. Feitelberg shot it and hit six of nine by his own count, Dante kept goal, and Brandon Walker spent the game planted in front of Glenny Balls taking balls out of the air before they reached him.
Watching it back Mutt was right
Mut, who by three separate accounts had not called anything in three challenges, called Glenny for stepping off the mat, and an inadvertent whistle wiped out a Marty goal that had already gone in. The entire Pigeon tribe spent minutes in the referee's face and Dani opened tribal council by apologising for it.
Jeff's own note was that the disputed call did not decide anything — without it the score was still 9-6 — and Dani, watching it back afterwards, said the same thing: Mut was right.

Dani had the numbers on paper — herself, Tate and Nicky Smokes, plus Glenny, who she talked all the way to picking which of the two friends to write down. Glenny picked Dana's name and then took the conversation straight back to them.
The first vote after the tribe swap and the first name on the jury. Dana Beers and Marty Mush chose her over Glenny Balls on the reasoning Dana gave in confessional — she is the better player of the two, and the weaker one is worth more to them alive. She spent the afternoon building the four that would have split the pair up instead, got Glenny to name which of them he wanted written down, and he reported the conversation back to them instead of casting the vote.
Dana's stated reason for keeping Glenny is the coldest line of the season: Dani is the better player of the two, she has shown she is built for this, and the weaker one is worth more to him alive. It went 5-1. Jeff read three of the six cards, all hers, and stopped — so the tally comes from Nicky Smokes at the booth, in the line the episode replays: "I don't want to write her name down, bro. If it's not 5-1, I am going to kill everyone in this tribe."
