- On Day 1, the host, Gavino Capriotti, told everybody that four former players who were early outs will be given a second chance to compete. Cue Eliza (Season 1), Jakobe (Season 5), Zackeira (Season 3) and Zhenya (Season 2) entering.
- Intro Video: Eliza says that it has been 7 years since the show started. She was on Season 1 at the age of 29 with her husband, Lukas. Unfortunately, they were taken out early. Since then, her and Lukas had two more children since having their first one the year before they went on. There are now three Arvaniti children: Jocelyn (F/8), Christopher (M/6) and Sarah (F/3).
- Intro Video: Jakobe says that it has been four years since his season. He has done a lot as a graphic designer and recently opened up his own studio. Half a year ago, he got married to the love of his life, June, and they are expecting a baby. He wants to win this to help June and their baby out.
- Intro Video: Zackeira says that, back in her season, she was known as a massive physical threat and was eliminated for it. This season, she plans to play the social game. Since her season, she got married to fellow alumni, Danielle Barcellona from Season 5.
- Intro Video: Zhenya says that, when she first competed on the show, she was only 24. Now, she is 30 and has been married to her husband, Isaac, for 3 years. They even have a young boy together named Brodie (M/2). She loves the show. Her and Isaac watch every season and, when she was asked to come back on with no strings attached, she said yes in a heartbeat.
Gavino also tells the cast that this season ... will see no battleback! Everybody is shocked.
- That night, the contestants had to vote to give somebody else immunity for the first round. As there was a tie, Gavino said that Eliza, Marciano, Romina and Zackeira would all receive immunity.
- Brayden won the challenge while Cidali, Lauren, Rui, Solan and Zhenya were the Bottom 5 of the challenge.
- Sam campaigned to Brayden to get Zhenya out immediately. Brayden, deciding to be an "agent of chaos", went to Zhenya and told her. Alone, Brayden then wondered if he should.
- Sam and Lauren flirted with each-other quite a bit. Ausilio noticed and was sketched out about a potential duo. He would go to Brayden, who wasn't worried but would keep an eye on them.
- Sam and Lauren then began to flirt publicly with Sam even suggesting, openly, protecting each-other. This then sketched out Brayden, who wondered why Sam would even suggest that so openly.
- In private, Lauren told Brayden that Sam is a really nice guy and her Final 2. She would eliminate anybody to keep them safe, which then further sketched out Brayden.
- Brayden chose to eliminate ... Lauren!

- Sam wakes everybody up early due to Lauren leaving. Cidali, Rui and Zhenya are very annoyed and tell him off.
- Meridian Patton-Frost was revealed to be trapped in a glass cage. If at least three contestants worked to release her by pulling the three switches, she would return to compete. If not, Lauren, who was eliminated in Episode 1, would get a second chance. They have 1 hour. Marciano, Rui and Solan worked together to free her to ensure Lauren wouldn't get back in, meaning that Meridian was able to compete in this season.
- Intro Video: Meridian says that she competed in Seasons 1 and 10 and made the finale both times. However, while she was close to winning, she never did and, this time, third's time the charm.
- Zackeira, Romina and Cidali make an alliance together, although Zackeira has no plans to keep to the alliance.
- Sam talks to Zackeira about eliminating Zhenya as soon as they can due to her being a wildcard.
- Ausilio won the challenge while Brayden, Eliza, Marciano, Romina and Zackeira were the Bottom 5 of the challenge.
- Eliza spoke to Ausilio about eliminating Jakobe, feeling as though they will win and take the two of them out.
- Privately, Ausilio debated against Brayden due to him being a challenge threat, Romina, due to them being really quiet and anti social, and Marciano, due to them being a major wildcard to him. He doesn't believe Eliza that Jakobe will go after him and, if Jakobe takes her out instead, that is one less person in front of him.
- Ausilio chose to eliminate ... Marciano!

- Romina is in the pool with Meridian. Meridian is talking about her outside life and tries to talk to Romina and ask about hers. Romina gives some short answers.
- In the bathroom, Zackeira is talking with Romina, although Romina, again, gives some short answers.
- Romina is now in the bedroom. She talks to herself saying that she is loving the experience. She feels as if she is playing a good social game and not giving too much information.
- Zackeira talks to Rui, Meridian and Solan about how Romina barely talks. Solan wonders if she is shy while Meridian says that she doesn't talk game at all. Zhenya joins them and Rui fills her in about Romina. Zhenya thinks that she is hoping to win due to the challenges versus a social game.
- Back in the bedroom, Romina says that a part of her is nervous to reveal too much. She may be in her head a bit but she feels as if she is good with everybody.
- Rui talks to Cidali about how they feel nervous about Brayden due to them being a potential physical threat in the game. They both wonder if Brayden threw the last two challenges.
- Solan makes an alliance with Brayden and Zackeira.
- Cidali and Rui win the challenge and talk privately. Rui is open about him being a mega superfan of the show and suggests that they ally and get each-other to the Final 2. Cidali agrees. Cidali suggests they go after somebody they would never trust in the game over a physical threat. Rui says that, while he would want a physical threat out now, he doesn't trust Romina. Cidali agrees. Rui says that they could put her up against a veteran and let the house decide. Who the "pawn really is" can be said after the elimination. Cidali loves the idea!
- In private, Rui is in the bedroom discussing his engagement to his fiancé and he he really misses him.
- Cidali and Rui put up MERIDIAN and ROMINA, respectively.
- Jakobe, privately, wonders if this is a good time to get out Meridian and talks to Brayden and Solan about it. The two of them are up for it.
- Zhenya and Zackeira talk in the kitchen. Zhenya says that she is only loyal to people she made an alliance with. She didn't make one with Meridian and has no issue voting her out. Zackeira says the same and says that Meridian is a legend at the game and needs to go.
- Romina talks to Zhenya about the vote in one of the bedrooms. Zhenya is open that she does not trust Romina in the game and is considering voting her out. Romina is shocked and asks what she did. Zhenya says that she barely talks at all and nobody knows where her head is at.
- Meridian is talking with Solan and Ausilio about the vote. She says that, unlike Romina, you know where her head is at. Romina barely talks and this is not the kind of game where silence is golden.
- Solan, privately, is very conflicted about the vote.
- Romina talks to Eliza about how Meridian made the finale twice while she hasn't made the finale at all and she would love to do so. Eliza says that it IS true that Meridian is a threat.
- Romina talks to Jakobe about how Meridian never won the game and she, probably, won't win but she will make the finale. Jakobe is wondering if Romina is trying to campaign or mock Meridian.
- Meridian talks with Brayden and says that the two of them are massive threats. She made the finale twice while Brayden has made the finale of The Strife multiple times. People will look at that in the future, which is why they should protect each-other.
- Romina talks to Solan and tells him to keep her here so she can make the finale.
- Romina has been eliminated!

- The next day, Eliza talks to Meridian about how, since there is no battleback, they should try and get out Rui next.
