ONE CASTAWAY HOLDS THE POWER VOTE AT TRIBAL COUNCIL, ON "SURVIVOR: PALAU," THURSDAY, MAY 12 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

"It Could All Backfire" -- Alliances are further splintered as each castaway feels the pressure to make it to the Final Four, on SURVIVOR: PALAU, Thursday, May 12 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network.

Gender lines are drawn as one group hatches a plan to vote off the castaway who doesn't win immunity. One castaway feels betrayed when the winner of the Reward Challenge chooses a different tribe mate to enjoy the reward. At Tribal Council, one tribe member holds the power vote and is torn between an alliance and a friendship. Which way will the vote swing? And, the thirteenth person is voted off the island.
