- 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!

- Rui talks to Meridian about allying since he helped her get into the game. Meridian is perfectly fine with that.
- Cidali and Solan discuss their experiences with coming out as non-binary. They discuss making the finale together and being good representatives of the enby community.
- Ausilio, Jakobe, Romina and Zackeira are in the living room. Jakobe says that Ausilio is a massive Reality TV legend. Ausilio thanks him for the compliment. He says that it is less about the fame for him and more about the experiences. He wants to experience every show imaginable.
- Sam talks to Zhenya and says that Jakobe wants her out badly.
- Sam talks to Zackeira and tells them that Zhenya is thinking of eliminating him.
- Zackeira talks to Zhenya about Sam constantly campaigning to get her out and then now saying that Zhenya wants her out. The two make a Final 2 deal out of trust.

- 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 them to keep her here so she can make the finale.
- Romina has been eliminated!

- Jakobe comments on how Romina's campaigns did not help at all.
- FLASHBACK: Romina talks to Jakobe about how she hasn't spoken much because she wants to fly under the radar. Romina talks to Zhenya about how she wants to make the finale and, that, Meridian has played twice already. Romina talks to Cidali and Solan about how she is not up for any alliances and won't win any challenges until the finale.
- Cidali says that he can not believe that she really said "I won't win any challenges until the finale".
- The next day, Eliza talks to Meridian about how, since there is no battleback, they should try and get out Rui next.
- Jakobe talks to Brayden and Cidali about how they need to take their shot at Zhenya and Rui when they get a shot.
- Zhenya talks to Meridian about how she doesn't trust Jakobe too much in the game and may target him sooner than later.
- Jakobe and Zhenya win the challenge.
- Eliza is relaxing in the pool, talking to Brayden and Cidali about how, since Season 1, it has been so fun to watch the show grow. She only had one child at the time with Lukas and now they have three and all three of her kids love the show. Her oldest, Jocelyn, really wanted her to return and she is so glad she did. She said that she had a shot back in Season 5 (2015) but lost her chance. Cidali says that she is glad that she can play the game again, especially without the threat hanging over her head of being an automatic duo. Eliza agrees but also says that she would love Lukas to get another shot.
- Jakobe and Zhenya talk alone in the living room. Jakobe says that it may be good for them to go after Eliza or even Rui. Zhenya agrees.
- Later, Zhenya talks to Rui about how Jakobe wants him out but she doesn't want to do that.
- Rui talks to Jakobe about how he was told by Zhenya that he wanted him out. Jakobe is shocked that his plan worked and says that there is no way he can trust Zhenya now.
- Rui talks to himself about being a double agent to both Jakobe and Zhenya and how he has no allegiance to either of them.
- Jakobe and Zhenya put up ZACKEIRA and BRAYDEN, respectively.
- Jakobe, Zhenya, Zackeira and Brayden are all shocked, hilariously enough.
- Jakobe, openly, tells Zackeira that the reason she is nominated is due to her close ally, Zhenya. He said that he told Zhenya private information and it got back to him. Zhenya turns to Rui and says that it was probably about Rui being Jakobe's target, which Jakobe confirms.
- Rui tells Zhenya that, after their conversation, he wanted to talk to Jakobe about it. It only makes sense that Jakobe put the pieces together and he apologizes for acting recklessly.
- Jakobe says that Rui is, clearly, playing all sides.
- Brayden wants to know why he is nominated. Zhenya says that she nominated him because he is a massive threat and everybody loves him.
- Rui tells Jakobe that he can't be playing HIS side when he told people that he (J) wanted HIM (R) out. Brayden and Zackeira agree.
- Zackeira tells Jakobe that her being punished over his own gambit is absolute BS!
- Later, Brayden is talking with Ausilio and Meridian in the pool. Brayden says that what happened was absolute chaos. The others agree. Meridian says that, a couple days ago, she told him that she wouldn't vote him out due to them being big threats. She plans to stay with that and she wants to include Ausilio in a Final 3 alliance. The three of them are massive Reality TV threats so it is best that they stick together.
- Zackeira is in the bedroom with Cidali and Rui. She is furious that she is being punished for whatever Zhenya did. Rui says that all Zhenya did was warn him about Jakobe coming after him and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. He blames himself for why she is nominated and says that he will vote Brayden out. After that, hopefully, they will be good. Zackeira says that it isn't Rui's fault that Jakobe went off the deep end.
- Brayden has been eliminated!

- Ausilio tells Meridian in one of the bedrooms that Brayden had no chance the moment Jakobe called out Zhenya and said it was her fault that Zackeira was nominated. Meridian agrees but hoped that Brayden would have stayed anyway.
- Cidali tells Rui that he would have voted out Zackeira due to all of the veterans being in the game but he would have regretted it as she shouldn't go out like that. Rui agrees and says that the veterans want each-other out so they don't have to worry about them working together. Cidali agrees.
- Jakobe talks to Meridian in the pool and asks her how badly he screwed up. Meridian says that, if he doesn't win the challenge, he may be heading home next and, as Gavino said, there is no battleback this season. She asks him why he called out Zackeira and Zhenya like that. She said that it was one of the worst moves she's ever seen. Jakobe said that he wanted to expose Zhenya and Rui for playing multiple sides and also take out Zackeira to weaken them. Meridian says that it seems like Jakobe didn't come to the conclusion about Rui until partway through the conversation.
- Zhenya and Zackeira talk in the bedroom. Zhenya says that Jakobe is playing the game with his all and she can respect that. Zackeira says the same. She says that Jakobe overplayed but she respects the effort. She also says that Jakobe is her main target for obvious reasons.
- Ausilio and Eliza win the challenge.
- The two talk privately. Ausilio says that Jakobe would be the easiest person to put up. Eliza says that she agrees and wants to do something else. Ausilio says that he is thinking the same thing. Eliza says that Rui and Solan are two of the best social players in the game right now. Ausilio says that he wants to find a duo and split them up. Eliza says that a duo is really dangerous as people viewed her and Lukas that way.
- Meridian talks to Ausilio and Eliza in the bedroom and suggests putting up Cidali either as a target or as a pawn. They are very, VERY social and could either be sent home as a threat or be used as a pawn to get somebody out.
- Solan talks to Ausilio and Eliza in the pool and says that nobody would come after them if they went after Jakobe.
- Ausilio and Meridian talk in one of the bedrooms. Meridian says that she won't control the nominations and tells him to do what is best for his game. Ausilio says that what is best for his game is ensuring that nobody else is a duo aside from them.
- Ausilio and Eliza put up ZACKEIRA and ZHENYA, respectively.
- Ausilio says that Jakobe is, by far, the easiest target so he wanted to split up a strong duo.
- Jakobe is SHOCKED as are Zackeira and Zhenya.
- Zackeira has been eliminated!

- Rui asks Cidali how they voted. Cidali says that he voted out Zackeira while Rui says the same as she did warn him about Jakobe. The next time she goes up, though, they should take the shot. Cidali agrees and says that Ausilio and Zhenya are his targets due to them winning two competitions each.
- Eliza and Solan win the challenge.
- Eliza tells Solan that they should go after Ausilio and Rui. Solan says that a part of them wants Meridian and Jakobe out. Eliza says that Jakobe is the easiest target to put up. Solan wonders if that was his plan.
- Solan tells Rui that Eliza wants him or Ausilio out but she won't tell them which one of them she plans to put up. Rui says that Eliza is dangerous.
- Solan talks to Ausilio about how Eliza listed him and Rui as her targets and won't tell him which one she will put up. They tell him to watch his back. Ausilio thanks him.
- Eliza and Solan put up RUI and JAKOBE, respectively.
