Episode 1

Episode 1
(TITLE)
Adam, Adrian, Alicia, Anabel, Andre, David, Evie, Hardy, Janeane, John, Journey, Kaeghan, Lauren, Liz, Regina, Rami, Renata, and Sam arrive on the beach. As they do, Anabel CCs that she isn't to be underestimated. Her brain is always thinking of scenarios and her ability to write captivating character development should prove that she has a good read on people. Anabel Gromatti may be the next Sole Survivor. Adam CCs that he's a father of two and a husband. That is why nobody will see him coming because he has a family to look after. Hardy CCs that a part of him is nervous but the rest of him is excited. However, he knows to lay low at the beginning. The host, Cornilio Roquez, greets everybody and asks if they are ready to begin Season 4. Everybody cheers and John CCs that he has been waiting for this moment! Cornilio tells them that, in a series first ... everybody must head to Tribal Council in a few minutes. Liz CCs that she put her life on hold and, now, there is a chance that she could go home on Day 1. She starts sobbing and says how she had to go through a breakup, she lost a friend due to an argument, and now this. Upon arriving, the host tells them that they will be deciding the tribes. He says that they will have a vote on who should be the tribe captains. Adam CCs that he's seen predictable insurance claims but this was not predictable. These people will be immune from the first tribal that they attend as they will also be exempt from it, not even having the ability to vote. Lauren CCs that she's a mother of three so she knows how to tell when somebody plans to be naughty. She says that her goal is to vote somebody who is not that type of person. David CCs that he is looking around and he sees Journey, who looks very serious and very ready to play and, to him, she seems like the type who could handle the responsibility. The host also tells everybody that they will not be able to vote for themselves and they will know if they do. He then reveals a billboard with everybody's name and, that, they have one minute before voting starts. Journey CCs that she's ready for this. She says that Sam comes off as a prankster while Evie comes off as the popular high school chick. She says that she then sees Anabel who comes across as a scholar and that's good enough for her. While voting, Adrian CCs that the person he votes for, probably, won't even choose him. His vote is for somebody who he thinks will be an easy threat so that they focus on somebody who may coast their way to the end. Hardy CCs that Liz looks like she won't be able to handle the pressure of being out here. Andre CCs that John looks like a superfan while Liz looks super nervous and will, probably, fold under pressure. He says that, at the same time, David looks responsible. Anabel CCs that David looks like the wise older gentleman that has enough experience and, to her, that's good enough. After the voting, the host reveals that David and Journey received the most votes and will become the tribe captains. David CCs that he was hoping to not become a tribe captain as his target will, no doubt, increase substantially. He then says that, on the other hand, he could make an alliance easier due to that. David chooses Hardy. Journey chooses Sam. David chooses Anabel. Journey chooses Renata. David chooses Kaeghan. Journey chooses Andre. David chooses Lauren. Journey chooses Janeane. David chooses Adam. Journey chooses Rami. David chooses Liz. Journey chooses Alicia. David chooses John. Journey chooses Adrian. David chooses Regina. Journey chooses Evie. Evie CCs about how pissed off she is because she was chosen last as well as on the other tribe, away from Hardy. She says that Journey is going to pay dearly for ruining her chances at a romance with Hardy. The host tells the tribes to go to their respective camps.
Over on Cayenne (Adrian, Alicia, Andre, Evie, Janeane, Journey, Rami, Renata, and Sam), Evie CCs that, now, she has to find an available man who isn't Hardy. She says that, thankfully, Sam is pretty hot. Rami suggests that they do a proper introduction. Adrian says that he is a waiter from Toronto. Evie says that she's a bartender from northern Kingsland. Renata says that she is a multimedia artist from Ottawa. Renata CCs that her strategy is to keep the target off of her back and increase everybody else's. She says that the first step is to get to know everybody and then try and turn them against each other ... somehow. Sam says that he is a high school P.E. teacher and swim coach. Evie CCs that the more Sam talks, the more she likes him. Sam CCs that he's looking around and Andre has his attention. Sam hopes that Andre is also into guys and, maybe, they could hook up. Sam also adds that he's from Navocalco. Andre says that he is a catalogue illustrator from Entrofeira. Andre CCs that he's never heard of his show until his younger sister, Devota, convinced him to watch it. After that, he started watching the show with her since Season 4 and he feels ready to take on the island. Rami says that he is a cashier by day ... and a comic illustrator by night. Rami CCs that he's been working on a comic for the past three years and it's been successful to an extent. He says that he absolutely loves working on comics and it was his passion since he was young. Alicia says that she is a film projector operator from Entrofeira. She CCs that she's always gone to the movies when she was younger so, when she got this job, it felt like it was her chance to work at her 2nd home. She comments on how nice the staff is and how welcoming the entire place feels. Janeane says that she is a commodity broker from Entrofeira as well. Journey finishes off the introductions by saying that she is a realtor from B.C. Journey CCs that, in actuality, she is an English professor. Adrian asks if anybody has made a shelter before. Sam says that he's gone camping a lot, plus his dad is a carpenter so he's learned some things.
On Titania (Adam, Anabel, David, Liz, Hardy, John, Kaeghan, Lauren, and Regina), David starts off the introductions by saying that he is a retired graphic designer, CCing that he was a top inspector in the force before his retirement two years ago. Anabel says that she is an author with two books out already. Hardy says that he is a former fitness coach and is, now, a radio host. Hardy CCs that being a fitness coach and being fit helped him love himself but, at some point, it clicked ... he really wanted to do radio and a friend of his introduced him to the business after he pursued a diploma. Kaeghan says that he is an indie game developer, Lauren says that she has drawn pictures for children's books, Liz says that she is a student studying computer science, Adam says that he is an auto damage insurance appraiser, Regina says that she is a host on an online news channel, and John says that he is also a student but he's been studying ... the game. There is a lot of silence. John CCs that he's been a mega super fan and has studied the game and is, now, ready to play it. Adam CCs that he's had insurance meetings less silent than this. As they are working on the shelter, Hardy whispers to Liz, asking if she is alright as she was super nervous at the beginning. Liz whispers back that she is fine and she really appreciates that he asked. Liz CCs that Hardy is just ... amazing. Liz tells him that she was just nervous about going home first. Hardy tells her that he doesn't think anybody on this tribe will vote her out first. After the shelter is completed, John gushes over being in a shelter in the Survivor. Regina says that she's seen more impressive. Regina CCs that she is here to win but she will never be afraid to speak her mind. She isn't impressed with the shelter but her tribe, on the other hand, she thinks is alright.
On Cayenne, their shelter is finished. Journey congratulates everybody on the hard work and CCs that she believes in her tribe as they are all hard workers, as well as nice. However, a part of her doesn't see that lasting and, when it comes down to it, it's all about not making too big of an impression as you'll be the first one sent packing. Evie and Alicia are at the water well. Evie is complaining about how fake and pretentious Journey is. Alicia sees what she means. Evie CCs that she's not trying to be a b***h but first impressions mean a lot to her. Alicia thinks that Adrian looks like a douche. Evie agrees and says that it's the hair. Alicia CCs that, while her and Evie were at the water well, they bonded over their dislike for the tribe and made a Final 2. Evie hopes that they can do massive damage and take control of the game. Alicia agrees and says that she would love to see Journey leave. Alicia CCs that Journey comes off as somebody trying to pander to people and it annoys her to no end. She loves how she can gossip with Evie. Evie thinks that they should do a Final 4 with two of the guys and try and get with them by the end. Alicia loves the idea and calls dibs on Andre, while Evie says that she's going for Sam. Journey is talking with Janeane and Adrian in the water. She says that she is married to her childhood crush after many years, Laurel. Janeane and Adrian congratulate her on the marriage. Janeane asks how they met, to which Journey says that they ended up being neighbours back in Grade 5 onwards. She says that she didn't develop the crush until Grade 7 and they started dating in Grade 9. Journey CCs that she is doing this for her and her wife, no doubt.
Everybody is gathered in the shelter. Lauren says that she's been an illustrator ever since high school. She says that she pursued graphic design but ended up helping her friend create children's books and has been doing so for the past 14 years. Everybody respects that. Adam CCs that he has only been an insurance appraiser for 8 years so he's impressed. Adam says that he grew up loving cars but didn't want to be a mechanic so he got into the insurance business. Regina CCs that a part of her needs drama right now as that's what she lives for--seeing as how her job relies on that. She says that everybody is incredibly boring. John says that he's a massive superfan of the game and he's hoping to make some big moves while he's here. He also says that he is ready to catch some snakes and call them out if need be. John CCs that he's hyped. David CCs that he can't believe John is open about that. Later that night, Hardy and Kaeghan are talking. Kaeghan says that he can't get over how open John is about wanting to play big. Hardy says that he doesn't trust John at all and CCs that John is making himself a huge target. The next morning, Liz and Lauren are sitting by the water. Liz says that she misses her family and friends. Lauren says that, if she can hold out for 44 more days, she could bring the grand prize home for them. Liz hopes so. Liz is sobbing in front of the CC about how much she misses her friends and family. David and Anabel are at the water well. David was hoping to be able to talk to her. He says that she comes across as trustworthy and intelligent and that is the kind of person that he wants to work with. Anabel thanks him and asks if he's a cop. She CCs that she's written a twist like this before and it isn't too surprising for people to lie about their occupation. David asks her to keep it between them. After she promises, he reveals to be a retired police inspector. David CCs that, if Anabel can't be trusted and she leaks this, he will have to turn it around on her. Anabel says that she likes the idea of the two of them working together, no doubt.
Both tribes reconvene and it is revealed that they will be competing for both reward and immunity. For the reward, the winning tribe will get tools to help them fish. CAYENNE WINS IMMUNITY!
Journey CCs that she is ecstatic that her tribe won as she doesn't have any one person that she doesn't like on her tribe. Andre tells the tribe that he has a lot of experience fishing so he can help those who don't have the experience. Sam raises his hand and admits that he has never fished before. Sam CCs that a part of him just wanted to bond with Andre, although he is telling the truth about his lack of experience. As they go off fishing, Janeane asks Rami about his comic. Rami says that it is a mixture of genres and he's been experimenting since the 70th comic. He says that it started out as half-assed comics when he was younger and, when he got older, he was inspired by his old comics to recreate them and continue them. Janeane CCs that life on the island has been fun so far as she has been making a lot of friends and learning a lot about the others. Adrian tells Janeane that he has been hiking a few times but hasn't been camping. Janeane CCs that this is an experience of a lifetime and she hopes to enjoy it as much as she can.
David CCs that he, carefully, chose his tribe and he has no regrets. However, somebody needs to be voted out and he can't even vote. Kaeghan and Regina are at the water well. Regina says that Liz has been annoying her since they got on the tribe. Kaeghan says that while Liz is very emotional, she did help their tribe quite a bit in the challenge. Regina thinks that Liz just got lucky, CCing that Lix needs to go before she brings about the end of their tribe. Kaeghan thinks that they should focus on John due to his constant talk about him being a superfan. Regina agrees and thinks that John could be a bigger wildcard. In the water, Liz, Lauren, and Adam are talking. Liz hopes that the votes don't fall on her. Adam makes a joke about her insurance being approved as a means to say that she will survive the joke. It's awkward but Liz feels assured, CCing that she is grateful to have made some friends on the island. Lauren says that John has been making himself a huge target as of recent due to his talks about wanting to make a big move. John, meanwhile, is talking to Kaeghan about targeting Anabel due to her looking like a strategic threat. John CCs that he is all about big moves and he plans to make them while he is in the game. He says that, if you watch Anabel closely like he does, you can see her thinking. Kaeghan comments that everybody is thinking about the game, CCing that he really wants to take John out. David and Anabel are in the shelter. David says that he's thinking John or Adam. When Anabel asks about Adam, David says that he sees Adam as somebody who will coast by and will be under the radar. He CCs that Adam could be dangerous moving forward. He could lay low and then strike when the time is right near the endgame. The guy doesn't talk much strategy or really talk to him that much. In the end, he is a wildcard. Anabel agrees and says that a lot of people are focused on John. David says that John may be a massive target but he is too good of a physical competitor to get rid of right now. Anabel agrees with that. Hardy and Liz are walking and talking. Liz brings up targeting John. Hardy thinks that John could be useful for their tribe right now as he isn't a weak competitor. Liz is worried about him but Hardy says that all they would have to do is not listen to him. Liz asks who he hopes to target. Hardy says that Regina hasn't been the most social around camp and she looks bored and miserable. Liz CCs that Hardy is, downright, amazing and hot. If she had a choice, her and Hardy would be in the finals.
AT TRIBAL COUNCIL, John is quiet about his target and says that it's a secret and somebody will be blindsided for sure. Regina calls out John for being sketchy. THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Adam votes for John Anabel votes for Adam David, as Tribe Captain, is not present. Liz votes for Regina Hardy votes for Regina John votes for Adam Kaeghan votes for Adam Lauren votes for Regina Regina votes for John Adam says that he's just a simple insurance appraiser and is, in no way a threat. Regina says that she didn't cost them the challenge and, if they vote her out, they will lose the next immunity challenge. Adam can not vote during the re-vote. Anabel votes for Adam David, as Tribe Captain, is not present. Liz votes for Regina Hardy votes for Adam Adam can not vote during the re-vote. Kaeghan votes for Adam Lauren votes for Regina Regina votes for Adam With a vote of 3-3-2/4-2, ADAM has been eliminated.

(TITLE)
On Titania (Adam, Anabel, David, Liz, Hardy, John, Kaeghan, Lauren, and Regina), they return to camp. David takes notice that Adam isn't with them. Lauren brings up the tie between Adam and John. David CCs that, somehow, Adam went home over John, the guy who most of the tribe wanted out. He says that his target ended up going home without him voting but he doubts that he will be just as lucky again. Hardy CCs that he switched his vote to avoid another tie and he hopes that Liz and Lauren will understand. Regina thanks everybody for saving her, CCing that, the first chance she gets, she will vote out whoever wanted her gone.
Opening Credits
In the morning, Liz joins Hardy at the water well. She says that the first vote was intense, especially with Adam going. Liz CCs that she is, slowly, learning what the game is, truly, about firsthand. Hardy apologizes and says that he flipped during the revote as everybody else could've been in danger. Liz tells Hardy that he doesn't need to cover for Lauren. Hardy says that he isn't. Liz tells him that she knows he wouldn't flip so she refuses to believe it. She says that Lauren was never their ally anyway. Hardy CCs that he isn't liking what he is seeing at all.
On Cayenne (Adrian, Alicia, Andre, Evie, Janeane, Journey, Rami, Renata, and Sam), Sam, Evie, Andre, and Janeane are in the shelter. Janeane wonders who was voted out first. Janeane CCs that the obvious answer is Liz as she was an emotional wreck, even before they split off into tribes. Evie is still surprised that they lost with Hardy on their tribe. Andre thinks that they'll get rid of John due to him looking like a strategic threat. Andre CCs that everybody is super confused about who went home and it is starting to dawn on them that the game really has begun. Evie asks Sam about his job. Sam says that he's always liked kids and wanted to help them in any way he could so, while he was pursuing his teaching degree, he wanted to each P.E. so he could help kids stay fit. Evie says that she really respects that and loves that he adores kids so much. Sam thanks her and asks Andre about his job. Andre says that he pursued graphic design for a bit and one of his friends used to work for a catalogue and recommended him (Andre) so, ever since, he became a catalogue illustrator. Sam finds that fascinating. Evie CCs that Sam is such a sweet guy. Sam CCs that he may be falling for Andre.
Kaeghan, Regina, Anabel, and John are in the water. Kaeghan asks Regina about her job. Regina says that she works for an online news source. They update their fanbase on the latest online drama and other miscellaneous things that are going on around the world. Regina CCs that she really loves her job and her fellow co-workers are amazing. In the shelter, Hardy and Lauren are the only ones in there. Hardy tells Lauren why he flipped, to which Lauren understands and isn't mad at him. Hardy then says that he told Liz but Liz suspects her and thinks that Hardy is lying to protect her. Lauren thinks that Liz needs to go soon. Hardy agrees and says that she is so unpredictable. Hardy CCs that Liz is too emotional to be trusted in this game. The next chance they get, she has to go. Lauren asks Hardy if Liz plans to target her. Hardy says that she may as Liz seemed really annoyed and refused to believe it was anybody but her. Lauren CCs that Liz has become her target as she can't be her babysitter in the game.
Rami CCs that he needs to establish an alliance that will take him far. He says that he wants to take control, he wants to be the leader, and he wants to see what sort of damage he could do. Rami is talking with Adrian about an alliance by the water well. Adrian says that he is all for that idea since Rami comes across as trustworthy. Rami says that he is hoping to have a majority alliance that will control the votes. Adrian understands and CCs that Rami seems like a trustworthy guy and, as long as he is in the majority, it doesn't matter. Rami is talking with Renata in the water and suggests a majority alliance with her in it. Renata says that she is all for that idea. She CCs that, as long as she is in the majority, she doesn't care too much. Rami tells her that he has already asked Adrian. Renata comments on how Adrian is nice so she's fine with that. Evie and Alicia are at the water well. Evie comments that she hates the tribe so much except for her, Sam, and Andre. Alicia agrees and asks if she's gotten closer with Sam. Evie says that she feels like she has. Alicia says that she's going to try and get with Andre so they can make the Double Date Alliance. Evie wishes her luck. Alicia CCs that the great thing about being friends with Evie is that they agree on so many things, including interests. However, she feels like she's been venting about her tribemates a bit too much and she knows that it'll make her look bad.
CAYENNE wins Reward (comfort items)!
Journey is ecstatic. Evie CCs that she wishes that Journey would shut up. Rami is in the shelter, alone, with Andre and asks him about being in a majority alliance with him. Andre says that he is up for that. Rami says that he has Adrian, Janeane, Renata, and Sam. Andre agrees to it. Rami CCs that, now, he has a six person alliance ready, especially for when the tribe swap happens. When Evie and Alicia head for the water well and Journey offers to collect some fruit, the remaining six meet in the shelter. Rami says that they should target Alicia as she is a wildcard. Everybody agrees to it. Rami thinks that they could get away with throwing the challenge as well. Adrian CCs that, as everybody was getting comfortable in the alliance, Rami decided to continue running his mouth, talking about throwing the challenge and then saying how they should recruit Evie and target Journey right after Alicia. Sam CCs that Rami's plan to throw the challenge is really risky and he is unsure if it is the best option for them. Rami says that, by throwing the challenge, Journey's immunity runs out after this round and they can throw the next challenge to take her out. Janeane CCs that she doesn't like this alliance anymore.
Regina CCs that she really likes her entire tribe ... except for Liz Guerra. Her patience with Liz is really running out. Regina confronts Liz about her vote, leading Liz and Regina to yell at each other over the vote and for Liz to, out of nowhere, accuse Lauren of switching the vote and saving Regina. Lauren CCs that she has no idea why she is the target of Liz's hate. Lauren tries to, calmly, tell Liz that she is being far too emotional and should calm down. Liz, however, accuses Lauren of not being trustworthy and, that, they and Hardy had a plan. Hardy CCs that Liz is isolating herself and she may find herself leaving the game soon if she wants to continue. Hardy tells Liz to not bring his name into it. Lauren tells Liz that she stuck by her and, if she wants to throw these accusations around because of her obsessive crush on Hardy, then she is done with Liz. After that, she storms off but Liz tries to follow her. Everybody else tries to stop that. David CCs that, at this point, Liz is, no doubt, the next target. Hardy CCs about how pissed off he is with Liz. John CCs about how he is glad to not be the next target.
TITANIA wins Immunity!
Liz tries to talk to Hardy but Hardy is furious at her for painting a target on his back. Liz starts to cry as Hardy walks away. Hardy CCs that he's had enough of Liz. Lauren is talking with Anabel, Regina, and Kaeghan. Lauren apologizes to Regina about the vote and says that Regina came across as bored and miserable, which was why she voted for her. Regina says that it's in the past, CCing that she is not mad at Lauren at all.
Rami and the other members of the alliance sans Sam are in the shelter. Rami thinks that Sam is far too likable and should be taken out now before he does any damage and, that, they should replace him with Evie. Adrian doesn't like the idea of turning on the alliance this quickly. Rami says that, if Sam isn't in the alliance, they aren't turning on it. Rami CCs that the alliance is stable. However, they need to not bring along somebody as lovable as Sam as that is dangerous. Adrian CCs that, at this point, he is done with Rami but he doesn't want to lose majority. Andre thinks that they should stick with their plan of Alicia but Rami is insistent of kicking Sam out and bringing Evie in. Andre CCs that he is ot okay with kicking Sam out of the alliance. Later, Andre and Adrian warn Sam of what Rami is trying to do and the three of them decide that it's time for a new alliance. Sam CCs that he is thankful that Adrian and Andre are so trustworthy.
AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Rami says that he feels safe while Evie says that, thanks to some news her and Alicia received, they are not. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Adrian votes for Rami Andre votes for Rami Evie votes for Rami Janeane votes for Alicia Journey, as Tribe Captain, is not present. Rami votes for Sam Renata votes for Alicia Sam votes for Rami Alicia votes for Rami With a vote of 5-2-1, RAMI has been eliminated.

Episode 3
(TITLE)
On Cayenne (Adrian, Alicia, Andre, Evie, Janeane, Journey, Rami, Renata, and Sam), everybody returns to camp. Adrian CCs that Rami is a fantastic guy but he decided to try and take control too early and the alliance didn't like how he handled the power. He wishes the best for Rami and hopes that he doesn't kick himself for this. Journey comments on how Tribal was pretty intense. Andre agrees and says that he hopes that they don't return for awhile. Janeane thinks that a tribe swap is next anyway like the past two seasons. Evie CCs about how happy she is that Journey's immunity is up because she wants that fake, pretentious b***h out of the game.
Opening Credits
In the morning, Evie and Alicia are at the water well. Alicia says that she is ecstatic that they can take out Journey next. Evie says that she hopes that they can blindside her so good. Evie CCs that Journey just comes across as so fake, it's insane. She says that, if they swap tribes, maybe her new tribe will be much better. She hopes that Alicia is with her, though. Renata is in the shelter, CCing that she's noticed that Evie and Alicia are close and she wants to break that badly. She heads to and meets them at the water well. Renata CCs that she's had this feeling that they were catty girls and she's overhearing them trash talk Journey so she decided to join in to gain their trust. Renata says that she's glad that she's not the only one who thinks that Journey is awful to be around. Alicia CCs that she's relieved that Renata is on their side with this. Alicia says that she's going to head back before people question the three of them. After Alicia leaves, Renata CCs that, on top of Journey's name, she has also heard HER name so she wants to break up Alicia and Evie as payback.. Renata tells Evie that she's noticed that Alicia is pretty two-faced as she likes to trash talk everybody to whoever will listen at the time. Evie doesn't believe her but Renata says that Evie has only known Alicia for 6 days, not many years. Evie points out how true that is and says that it doesn't really matter to her. Renata says that she wanted to warn Evie that Alicia has told her and Andre about the horrible things Evie has said about the two of them and one of the reasons why she came to the water well was to see if Alicia was lying or not. Evie CCs that she is REALLY surprised to hear about this and, to be fair, she's hardly known Alicia and it IS an individual game in the end. After Renata tells Evie about the things, Evie gets annoyed that Alicia is trying to throw her under the bus. Renata says that people will do whatever it takes to win and people are now getting pissed at Evie. Evie is royally furious at this point but Renata says that, if she acts irrationally, people will, no doubt, target her next. Renata says that she doesn't believe Alicia and wants to make sure that Evie stays in the game. Renata CCs about how surprised she is right now that Evie is falling for this.
On Titania (Anabel, David, Liz, Hardy, John, Kaeghan, Lauren, and Regina),Anabel CCs about how inspiring it is to have this experience and see how people interact with each-other under certain circumstances. She says that she's written numerous different kinds of characters and numerous different kinds of scenarios and, to her, this is inspiration for more material. Regina and Lauren are talking in the shelter. Regina says that some people may view her opinions as controversial but she tries to be as non-biased as she can be when presenting the information that they have. She says that she loves her job a lot. Regina CCs that Regina Lima is known as a debater and she accepts the haters as it makes sense. She isn't debating to offend but, rather, to debate. That's what she does in those segments. She then asks Lauren about her job. Lauren says that she really appreciates the opportunities she's had and will have. She says that bringing smiles onto the faces of children is the biggest reward, as cliche as that sounds. Regina CCs that her, Lauren, and Hardy have moved on and she is not mad at them about the voting. They do have one target in mind: Liz. She has to go. Liz is talking to David about how Hardy is being rude to her. David tells Liz that she painted a massive target onto Hardy's back, which is why he doesn't want to talk to her anymore. Liz knows she messed up but she didn't expect this to happen. David CCs that Liz lacks a lot of self-awareness and is heavily emotional, which is why the tribe doesn't trust or like her at this point. John is telling Anabel and Kaeghan that he is waiting for the tribe swap so he can see about blindsiding some people as he really wants to make a huge move. He says that, if he had a shot, he'd take out every big player in the game and then ride out the chaos to the end. Kaeghan CCs that John has this massive habit of ... not shutting up. He is a major superfan and he keeps telling people reasons as to why they should vote him out. John CCs that he is ready to stir things up. John is telling Lauren that he wants to cause some explosive Tribal Councils and, maybe, start some drama around camp. He then says that they should target Hardy as he is a very strong physical competitor. When Lauren points out that it is too early to target the strong competitor, John says that it'll be a big move and that's what matters. Lauren CCs that John is one of the biggest wildcards and him listing Hardy makes her weary.
TITANIA wins Reward (a crate of cheese, bread, and meat)!
Anabel CCs about how they really needed a reward after all of the drama. While everybody is eating, Kaeghan talks about his inspiration for getting into game development, Sunraider, a Vitosian indie game developer, and how his games were his gateway into the world of indie games when he was younger. Kaeghan CCs that he values his job a lot and it's really fun and rewarding. As everybody is enjoying their reward, Liz brings up how untrustworthy Lauren is and how her involvement ruined her friendship with Hardy. Hardy CCs that he really isn't ready to deal with her AGAIN. Hardy calls Liz out for her emotional state and for being unpredictable and easy to judge. Liz starts to cry and Hardy accuses her of dishing it out and not taking it. Liz has a massive meltdown, yells at everybody, and storms off. Regina comments on how random that was. John wonders if she's seeking attention. Lauren CCs that, when it comes down to it, Liz will never take responsibility and that is unfortunate. David CCs that Liz will continue to snap at a moment's notice and that's not what he needs. Anabel CCs that sending Liz home may be what she needs. The game may be too much for her.
Renata is talking with Alicia in the shelter about how Evie isn't only being catty to them but to other people as well. Alicia thinks that Renata is trying to start something but Renata says that she (Alicia) only knew Evie for 6 days. Renata then says that Evie has been going around talking to people about how pissed off she is at Alicia. Alicia says that she'll ask around to see if that is true. She gestures Andre over and asks if Evie has been dragging her name. Andre says that she approached him moments ago talking about how Alicia is two-faced. Andre CCs that he thought the two were close but apparently not. Alicia confronts Evie and the two end up in a screaming match with both declaring that they'll be the next one heading home.
CAYENNE wins Immunity!
'Sam CCs about how awkward camp is now due to Alicia and Evie constantly yelling at each other. While Sam and Andre watch them yell at each other, Sam asks Andre about his type. Andre says that he looks for personality over appearance and that he likes somebody with a sense of humour, as well as compassion and honesty. He also likes people with similar interests. Sam says that he feels the same way. Andre CCs that Sam is really cute and, definitely, his type.
Regina and Lauren are at the water well discussing how nobody will be keeping Liz. Regina wonders how she passed the psyche test. Regina CCs that Liz needs to be away from the island where it will no longer affect her again. Hardy is talking to David and Kaeghan about how it should be a clean sweep against Liz. After Hardy leaves, David wonders if they should target John instead as he wants to make a big move. David CCs that there is a lot to think about when it comes to the vote. Anabel thinks that Liz is a bigger wildcard as Hardy and Lauren were her allies at one point and one misunderstanding over the vote caused three massive days of non stop drama. David wonders if they should keep Liz just so she would go after Hardy and Lauren. Kaeghan also points out that John will go, eventually, but taking him out now is taking away a bigger threat in their way. Kaeghan CCs that, as time goes on, John may be the best goat to take to the end.
AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Liz is acting hysterical while John talks about him being excited for a potentially big move tonight. Liz then goes batsh** on John, accusing him of voting against her, causing John and her to have a small yelling match. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Anabel votes for Regina David votes for Regina Liz votes for Lauren Hardy votes for Liz John votes for Regina Kaeghan votes for Regina Lauren votes for Liz Regina votes for Liz With a vote of 4-3-1, REGINA has been eliminated.

The Perfect Goat
On Tiania (Anabel, David, Liz, Hardy, John, Kaeghan, Lauren, and Regina), they return to camp. Liz, immediately, starts to yell at Hardy and Lauren for antagonizing her and pretending to be her friends. She then rips (verbally) into Hardy for his personality, calling him nasty and a disgrace and she hopes that people see this and he is fired. Kaeghan then tells Liz to stop and, that, she is going too far. Liz doesn't care and then insults his parents for "raising him this way". Kaeghan CCs that he may have made a mistake when it came to taking out Regina. He says that, while David had a good point about her coasting, it may not have been worth the risk of Liz's bullying. Kaeghan tells Liz that nobody is impressed with her behaviour and they are on Hardy and Lauren's side. Liz explodes and storms off. Kaeghan CCs that he has had enough of watching Liz get personal towards Hardy and Lauren. Hardy thanks Kaeghan and says that he doesn't care enough to waste his breath on her anymore. David is surprised that Hardy didn't rage at her for bringing his parents into this. David CCs that he wanted Regina out as she could get very far, plus, he wanted Liz to continue going after Hardy and Lauren. However, he was not expecting Liz to get personal like this. Despite it being a game, he feels bad for only thinking of Liz vs Lauren and not the damage that Liz could continue to do should she get even more pissed. Liz storms back and berates Hardy even further, causing the entire tribe sans Hardy and Lauren to tell her to stop. Lauren CCs that this experience is getting really hard on her because to Liz and she can't imagine what Hardy is feeling right now, being attacked like that. Liz walks away, crying, CCing about how she's alone in the game and, that, the game is making her so emotional that she is acting out of rage. She says that this has been the hardest 9 days of her life. John comments on how awkward this is. David asks Hardy if he's alright. Hardy says that, after the game, he doesn't ever want to speak to Liz again. Anabel and Lauren say that they feel the same way. Anabel CCs that Liz has not done herself any favours. However, if she continues, she may be the perfect goat.
Opening Credits
In the morning, Anabel and Kaeghan are in the shelter. Anabel tells Kaeghan that she doesn't think Liz is fit for the game and should've thought about it a lot more before applying. Kaeghan feels the same way and hopes that she apologizes to Hardy and Lauren. Anabel CCs that she wants to use Liz but she can't be around her for too long so it is conflicting. Meanwhile, Hardy and Lauren are at the water well. Lauren says that this is the 2nd time that they've been in the voting minority. Hardy says that he is hoping for a tribe swap and, if they get one, he wants Lauren to be in the same tribe as him. Lauren feels the same way and asks for a Final 2 deal. Hardy says that there is, no doubt, that she is the only person he wants to be with in the Final 2 as she is the only person he can trust in the game. Hardy CCs that the game is emotionally draining and, while he feels a bit defeated right now, he plans to bounce back and head to the Final 2 with Lauren.
On Cayenne (Adrian, Alicia, Andre, Evie, Janeane, Journey, Renata, and Sam), Adrian CCs that the tribe has been chaotic as Alicia and Evie have been arguing non-stop. He says that, aside from that, he's been working on his relationships with the tribe more and he hopes to stop lurking in the shadows and become a more prominent player once his bonds are established. Janeane is talking to Sam about taking out Evie since Alicia is a more decent and less catty person. Sam agrees and hopes that, once Evie goes, the chaos will subside. Janeane CCs that, as the days go by, she's been, slowly, working on people. She hopes to be a more successful Rami in the game. There is a small montage with the tribe talking to each other, sans Evie and Alicia, about how nice and trustworthy Janeane is. During this, Journey CCs that she can see herself going far with Janeane. Sam CCs that Janeane is hilarious and is such a fan person to be around. Later, Andre and Sam are at the water well. Andre tells Sam that he respects him a lot. Sam feels the same way about him. Andre says that he hopes that they can get into a majority alliance and dominate the game. Sam says that he would be stoked if that happened. Andre CCs that Sam is, no doubt, his closest ally and he hopes that they can get into a position of power soon.
The host announces that there will be a competition to determine new Tribe Captains. At the end, Hardy, and Alicia win and must choose new tribes. Hardy chooses Lauren. Alicia chooses Renata. Hardy chooses Andre. Alicia chooses Anabel. Hardy chooses Sam. Alicia chooses Janeane. Hardy chooses Journey. Alicia chooses Adrian. Hardy chooses Kaeghan. Alicia chooses John. Hardy chooses Evie. Alicia chooses Liz. David, for being the only one not chosen, will be on the other tribe but will not participate in the upcoming immunity challenge or participate in the next Tribal Council. The host tells the tribes to go to their respective camps.
On Titania (Andre, David, Evie, Hardy, Kaeghan, Lauren, Journey, and Sam), Evie CCs that she is PISSED that she is on the same tribe as Journey. She really hopes that Journey can go soon. David CCs that a part of him is fine for not being picked as he can sit back and view how people interact with each other. Evie tells David at the water well that Journey is an absolutely fake and horrible b***h. She says that she would say the rudest things to her and everybody else in the tribe and she needs to go. David says that it won't do the tribe good to have a trouble maker. Evie agrees and CCs that Journey's on her way out and she is GLAD. Lauren and Hardy tell the others about Liz and how she's acted and what she's said. Andre comments on how that isn't right. Kaeghan says that Liz has been harassing Lauren for days and then went on a tirade against Hardy after Tribal and it was very nasty. Kaeghan CCs that Liz should, honestly, be very ashamed of herself for how she's acted. Hardy and Lauren are at the water well. Lauren wonders if they can convince people to send home somebody from the other tribe. Hardy thinks that, since Evie has been a bit catty since she's been here, they can try and convince her to flip since she is, probably, on the outs. Hardy CCs that, thankfully, Evie's cattiness could be what they need to save Lauren and Kaeghan. Lauren is hopeful and also thankful that Hardy and Kaeghan have been really nice to her. Lauren CCs that she plans to stay strong, get to the end, and win. Lauren Olivia Paivas is not as weak as other people may think she is. Hardy says that her husband, Freddie, and her children, Matt, Ian and Nora, are super proud of her. Lauren thanks Hardy and says that she really misses them. Lauren CCs that her family is her life so she has to win the game for them.
On Cayenne (Adrian, Alicia, Anabel, Janeane, John, Liz, and Renata), Adrian CCs about how he should've expected new Tribe Captains. Either way, he thought that everything was going to be peaceful as Alicia and Evie were now separated but, apparently, the other tribe had problems of their own and it carried over to his new tribe. Liz, immediately, starts on a sob story about Hardy and Lauren backstabbing her and her being on the outs. Anabel and John, immediately, call her out on her heavily emotional behaviour and what she's done to Hardy and Lauren. Anabel CCs that she is not letting Liz get away with this. Anabel and Liz end up in a screaming match. Adrian CCs that he doesn't know what is going to happen next but, if they lose, Tribal Council should be interesting.
Cayenne wins Immunity!
On Titania (Andre, David, Evie, Hardy, Kaeghan, Lauren, Journey, and Sam), Andre and Sam are at the water well. Andre thinks that they should take advantage of the Tribe Captain not being able to vote. Sam agrees and says that, since David can't vote either, they have the numbers to vote out Kaeghan or Lauren. Sam CCs that Kaeghan is a strong competitor and could be a huge threat to win. They tell Journey, who decides to tell David that the tribe is thinking of voting out Kaeghan or Lauren. Journey CCs that, as long as the plan isn't her, she is good. However, she really likes both Kaeghan and Lauren and knows that there is a chance neither will be loyal to her. In the shelter, David, Hardy, and Lauren are talking. David tells them what Journey told him. Lauren wonders if it's between them due to David and Hardy not being able to vote. David didn't think of that and CCs that he needs to make sure that Kaeghan stays as they are allied. There is a small montage of Lauren campaigning to people, saying that her target is Liz and only Liz. During the montage, Lauren CCs that she will never give up!. David tells Kaeghan that it could be him or Lauren due to numbers, causing Kaeghan to try and be as nice as possible to everybody in hopes of getting their vote to stay. He CCs that it may be close as Lauren is a very lovable person.
AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Kaeghan and Lauren both campaign to stay, acknowledging that it'll be between the two of them. Lauren continues to tell people that she wants Liz out while Kaeghan plays the "physical competitor" card. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Andre votes for Lauren David, due to the twist, is unable to participate in Tribal. Evie votes for Lauren Hardy, as Tribe Captain, is unable to participate in Tribal. Kaeghan votes for Lauren Lauren votes for Kaeghan Journey votes for Lauren Sam votes for Lauren With a vote of 5-1, LAUREN has been eliminated.

(TITLE)
On Titania (Andre, David, Evie, Hardy, Kaeghan, Lauren, Journey, and Sam), after they return to camp, Hardy CCs that Lauren deserved so much better and had such a horrible time in this game and, now, she's gone and ... it sucks. He says that she is a fantastic person and he hopes to be friends with her after the game. Sam says that he is going to take a walk. Sam CCs that he wanted Lauren to stay to fight against Liz but Kaeghan was a stronger competitor and they can't afford to lose him right now. Journey CCs that she wishes the best for Lauren and, when she has the chance, she'll take down Liz for her.
Opening Credits
In the morning, Evie is talking to Sam by the water well and asks what his type is. When Sam says "he", Evie asks if he is gay. Sam says that he is, to which Evie says that she hopes that he can find the right man. Sam thanks her. Evie has a miniature meltdown in the CC and says that she'll take Andre, who Alicia wanted. Evie tells Andre that she has feelings for him. Andre is flattered, CCing that, if he was going to date anybody on the tribe, it would be Sam and tells her that, unfortunately, he doesn't feel the same way.
On Cayenne (Adrian, Alicia, Anabel, Janeane, John, Liz, and Renata), Renata CCs that, since Liz is pretty emotional, she wants to play on that and secure her as a target instead of waiting until later. Renata is talking to Janeane and Alicia about how Liz wants the two of them gone next. Renata CCs that some people are thinking about taking out John, who has spoken about making big moves for whatever reason but she would rather take out Liz before she coasts. Janeane says that she doesn't doubt it as Liz approached her earlier about a side glance she didn't actually make. Renata says that, apparently, Janeane screwed herself over because of it. Janeane sighs and CCs that, if Liz is coming after her due to a side glance, she has another thing coming. Adrian is talking with Anabel about if they lose. Anabel thinks that they should take out John since he won't be quiet about how much of a super fan he is. Adrian agrees and says that John could be very dangerous. Adrian CCs that John has been making himself a massively huge target. There is a small montage about the times throughout the day that John has hinted about finding an idol, making big moves, and being a superfan. Meanwhile, there is a small segment about Alicia finding the idol due to paranoia regarding Liz. Alicia CCs that, now, she is secured!'
Prior to the challenge, Liz celebrates Lauren going, causing outrage with the Titania tribe towards her. Hardy, again, tells her that HE was the one who voted Adam during the first vote and Lauren has been innocent the entire time. Liz tries to pass it off as being in the past but Hardy, verbally, rips into her about how she's treated people the entire game. During the Immunity/Reward Challenge, Evie, flat out, tells her tribe that she wants to throw it so they can take Journey out and starts to trash talk Journey, causing the two of them to get into an argument. Cayenne wins Immunity!
On Cayenne (Adrian, Alicia, Anabel, Janeane, John, Liz, and Renata), Liz CCs that she could not trust a single person in this game and acted irrationally. She cries about treating Lauren horribly. John comments on how happy he is that they won the challenge. John CCs that he has no idea how to process what just happened. Hardy and Liz went after eachother and Evie decided to come for Journey. Liz chooses to isolate herself.
On Titania (Andre, David, Evie, Hardy, Kaeghan, Lauren, Journey, and Sam), Evie says that the inevitable is happening and it's time for Journey to go. She says that she's wanted Journey out since Day 1. Journey, however, argues back that Evie just cost them the challenge and will do so again. Journey CCs that it is great to know how Evie really feels about her. Evie tells her that it's about time that she got what she wanted for the first time in this game. Journey CCs that she is going to persevere for her and for Laurel. She says that she's been through so many obstacles in her life and Evie is, to her, hardly one at all.
AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Evie and Journey argue some more. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Andre votes for Evie David votes for Evie Evie votes for Journey Hardy votes for Evie Kaeghan votes for Evie Journey votes for Evie Sam votes for Evie With a vote of 6-1, EVIE has been eliminated.
On Titania (Andre, David, Evie, Hardy, Kaeghan, Lauren, Journey, and Sam), Journey thanks everybody for keeping her. She CCs that she's been through hardships since childhood and she's always stayed determined and, now, she has Laurel by her side and she knows that she'll always persevere. Hardy hopes that they can win the next Immunity Challenge. Andre believes that they will, CCing that they really need to. There is a segment of Hardy finding an idol, 'with him, in the CC, excitedly saying that he can keep himself safe for once in the game!
On Cayenne (Adrian, Alicia, Anabel, Janeane, John, Liz, and Renata), Renata is talking with Adrian about how Liz is naming targets left and right and some people on this tribe saw how she treated Hardy and Lauren, who are still their targets. Adrian agrees that, if Liz is emotionally unstable for the game, she has to go. Renata CCs that Liz has been laying low and, unless she spreads a few rumours, her shield, John, could be the next one to go.
Titania wins Immunity!
On Cayenne (Adrian, Alicia, Anabel, Janeane, John, Liz, and Renata), Alicia is glad that Evie is gone and CCs that Evie brought out a horrible, catty side in her and, now, she can continue to play the game. Although, some people are still getting on her nerve. Liz, in front of everybody, says that, since John wants to make a big move, it's time that they did and vote him out. Alicia tells her that all she's been doing is name targets and be an a**hole to people, causing Liz and her to get into another argument. Adrian CCs that it isn't even a question at this point.
AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Liz tries to defend her actions in the game. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Adrian votes for Liz Alicia, as Tribe Captain, is unable to participate. Anabel votes for Liz Janeane votes for Liz John votes for Liz Liz votes for John Renata votes for Liz With a vote of 5-1, LIZ has been eliminated.

(TITLE)
On Cayenne (Adrian, Alicia, Anabel, Janeane, John, Liz, and Renata), after everybody returns to camp, Adrian CCs that one of the biggest wildcards is now gone and everybody is relieved. He says that he feels relieved as being around Liz was very stressful. He wonders how the rest of the game will play out. John says that they all just made a big move tonight and he is really proud of them. He says that these are the kinds of moves he wants to make as time goes on. John CCs that Liz, the emotional wildcard, is now gone. He hopes that she can find peace off of the island.
Opening Credits
In the morning, Anabel and Alicia are at the water well. Anabel says that she really trusts Janeane as she's trustworthy and sticks to her word. Alicia agrees and says that she has had no problems with Janeane that she can recall. Alicia CCs that one of the most trustworthy people she's come across in the game is Janeane. She doesn't know what it is about her but she knows that she can trust her. Adrian and John are in the shelter. Janeane joins them and John comments on how she is one of the more trustworthy people here. Adrian agrees. Janeane thanks them and says that she hopes that they can remain six strong. Adrian thinks that it's possible and CCs that nobody trusts John, which is why they can't remain six strong. John says that, if they can't remain six strong, it is best to turn on Alicia as she is pretty strong in challenges and could be a huge threat down the road. Adrian says that it's possible. John CCs that the biggest threats are Alicia and Anabel. The former is physically strong and the latter is mentally strong. He would love to take them out as they would be big moves. John says that, if they hesitate on the big moves, the strong players will end up at the end and they can't afford having any major threats at the end. Janeane CCs that John's problem is that he is open about targeting strong players and, at some point, she is pretty sure everybody has been mentioned at least twice to somebody else. She feels like the moment she is perceived as a threat, John will drag her name as a huge threat to ensure she is eliminated next.
On Titania (Andre, David, Hardy, Kaeghan, Journey, and Sam), Sam and Andre are alone in the shelter. Andre tells Sam that his inspiration for drawing was his mother as she is a professional artist. He really liked how creative she was and he grew interest because of it. Sam says that his mom is a retired teacher but, back when she was working, he really looked up to her. That and his love for kids caused him to pursue teaching. Andre CCs that, over the past few or so days, he's been really bonding with Sam and, as of now, Sam's his number one ally. Sam says that, to him, his inspiration for teaching was his dad as he is a university professor. Sam CCs that he can see himself heading to the end with Andre. He is very trustworthy and an all around great person. Journey is at the water well with Hardy. Hardy tells Journey that he really respects her for her fight and for what she stands for. He says Laurel is, no doubt, proud of her. Journey thanks her and says that she really misses her. Journey CCs that Laurel Edgren means the world to her and she wants to make her the happiest woman ever because she really deserves it. Hardy tells her not to give up and, that, her journey in the game isn't done yet. Journey chuckles at the pun and thanks him for cheering her up. Journey CCs that, as time goes on, she's grown a huge respect for the game and what goes into it. Journey tells Hardy that she wants to work with him to the very end. She says that she doesn't trust many people in the game and he has been one of the only people who has been consistently trustworthy to her. Hardy thanks her and CCs that he is genuine when he says that he wants to work with Journey as well. The game has been very hectic and he needs a trustworthy ally right now. David and Kaeghan are in the shelter. David tells Kaeghan that the merge should be coming up soon. Kaeghan wants the four of them to still work with each-other, especially since John is a shield for them. David agrees. Kaeghan CCs that, before the swap, he, David, Anabel, and John were in an alliance that took out Adam and Raabia. When it comes down to it, John has one of the biggest targets in the game and they need to protect him so they can go after other targets. David says that it won't be an easy road but, if they can manage, they can make it to the Final 4 together. Kaeghan CCs that he isn't dumb, though. A part of him thinks that David is a cop and he plans to use that to turn Anabel against him when the time comes.
Everybody is called to Tribal Council where it is revealed that they will vote for two of the first six (Adam, Rami, Raabia, Lauren, Evie, and Liz) to come back. However, everybody will only get one vote and the top two will face off. The duel ends up being between Lauren and Adam with John CCing that he voted Adam as Lauren is too strong of a social threat while Adam would be easier to defeat. Renata CCs that she wants Lauren to have another chance but she has too many connections in the game and it'll be easier to vote Adam right back out. Lauren wins and re-enters the game. The host then announces that they are merging. Kaeghan CCs that he is super surprised that they are merging at Final 13.
As they head to the merge camp, Hardy CCs that he is ECSTATIC that Lauren is back in the game! He can't believe that he has his number one ally back in the game! After they arrive at camp, Lauren CCs that she is ecstatic to be in the game again and is even more ecstatic to see that Liz has been voted out. Since the beginning, Liz was erratic and irrational and it made her life in the game a living hell. Now that she can play with having to worry about Liz, she wants to play the game to the fullest! Andre says that Evie threw the comp to get rid of Journey so they ended up voting her out instead. Anabel adds that, when it came to Liz, she was voted out in honour of Lauren. Lauren says that she is touched and CCs that everybody in the game is so kind! She adores everybody and hopes that they can all keep in contact after the game is over. Lauren says that she, absolutely, respects everybody here and says that she will, no doubt, remember this moment and cherish the friendships she has with everybody here. She CCs that it made sense to keep Kaeghan over her and he is still here so, to them, they made the right move and loved that she was voted by them for a chance to get back into this game. Hardy gives Lauren a big hug and CCs that Lauren is the one person he wants with him in the finals as they've had each-others backs since the fallout with Liz. At the water well, Andre tells Sam that he's bisexual and wanted to tell him because of their bond. He says that he is out and proud and has been for a few years. He says that he didn't grow up out and proud and his biggest supporter growing up with his sister. Andre CCs that Devota has always been there for him when he needed it and he respects her so much. They both hug and Sam thanks him for telling him. Andre thinks that they should head back before people start talking. Sam agrees. Sam CCs that he also has a huge respect for the game. You go in thinking that things will end up a certain way but the game turns out to be very unpredictable, especially when you play it. He wants to make big moves, he wants to use an idol to negate votes, and he wants to head to the end with Andre. Even if that doesn't happen, he will cherish the experience. Journey and Janeane are talking in the shelter. Janeane is confused as to why Evie and Alicia started to fight and she knows that, if she probes, that could be the end of her. Janeane CCs that this couldn't be a coincidence. Alicia and Evie were very close and, suddenly, they fight. Either the fight was fake or somebody else was behind it. Journey is confused as well and says that they seemed like such close friends and then they hated eachother. Janeane thinks that somebody could be trying to mess with the friendships behind the scenes as to have them target each-other. Journey says that she would agree but Evie and Alicia are the only cases she knows of. Janeane CCs that she can't help but feel like they have a puppet master in their midst. Journey tells Janeane to be very careful as it could just be that Evie and Alicia has a disagreement and it blew out of proportion. Journey CCs that she doesn't trust many people on the island but she feels like she can trust Janeane. However, she can't help but feel like Janeane could dig herself a hole if she isn't careful. John is talking with Renata, Sam, Hardy, and Adrian. He says that, with 13 people here, it should be intriguing to try and control the numbers. He says that, while 7 is the majority, another tactic is tricking people to vote for other people. Hardy agrees. Adrian CCs that, after the initial happiness with Lauren coming back, people started venturing off and talking strategy with one person continuing to grow that target ... John. He says that John is a superfan and isn't aware that he is creating this monumental target on his back with every word he says. He is a nice guy but he isn't trustworthy in this game. Janeane and Alicia are at the water well. Janeane says that she found it odd that her and Evie went from being so close to fighting each other. Alicia says that Evie was talking a lot of smack behind her back about her. Janeane says that Evie never approached her and said anything. Alicia says that she did in general. Janeane CCs that she knows she shouldn't but she can't help but find the entire situation suspicious. Janeane asks if Alicia approached anybody else on the tribe to confirm. Alicia says that she didn't but she trusts her source. When Janeane asks who the source was, Alicia says that she won't rat the person out and CCs that her and Renata have established a close bond and it's possible that Janeane knew all along and is trying to create drama. She says that it sucks to doubt Janeane, of all people, but the interrogation is throwing her off. In the shelter, Alicia whispers to Renata that Janeane asked about her fight with Evie and asked if anybody orchestrated it. Renata says that Janeane is a very smart woman and may need to go. Alicia says that she trusts Renata. Renata says that some people don't trust Alicia, though, and there has been talk about her being targeted. Renata CCs that, by making Alicia a paranoid mess, she can put another target in front of her. She says that she has to make sure that SHE (Renata) is not on anybody's radar and she will do whatever it takes to stay under the radar. Renata says that she isn't surprised that Janeane questioned her as she (Janeane) spoke to her (Renata) about sending Alicia home due to her not "trusting her anymore". She tried to vouch for her but Janeane probably felt it best to talk to her (Alicia) in private. Alicia says how that makes sense. Alicia CCs that Renata has really been looking out for her and she really appreciates that. Renata CCs that she plans to manipulate Alicia to no end after the personal things her and Evie said about her earlier in the game.
ANDRE, SAM, AND KAEGHAN win a private feast.
Andre CCs that he's been developing a crush on Sam so a private feast, even with Kaeghan, is amazing. Kaeghan says that he really trusts them. Kaeghan CCs that Andre and Sam have come across as trustworthy and he is interested in an alliance just in case his alliance with David, Anabel, and John falls through. Sam says the same thing and thinks that they could add a fourth person to this and be set for the rest of the game. Sam CCs that a four person alliance can easily take control of the game as they are non-entities in the game so people would not expect them. Kaeghan says that Adrian doesn't appear to be allied with anybody and Andre and Sam agree that they could recruit Adrian. Andre finds a Hidden Immunity Idol in the feast and is open about it, saying that they could use it to their advantage. Andre CCs that this day is getting better and better.
Back in camp, Anabel and David are in the shelter. David says that John has been really loyal to them so far and that's why he feels like he can trust him when nobody else will. Anabel says that loyalty has a huge impact. She says that she really likes John as a person but he also needs to watch what he says. David says that he is surprised that John hasn't revealed the alliance like he has his plans to take over the game. David CCs that there is no doubt that John Finn is a threat and a part of him is conflicted on whether or not John should go next or later as, yeah, he is a good shield, but he is wayyyy too honest. Anabel thinks that John would've acted had he really had the intentions. She thinks that John is doing this on purpose so that his target is so huge that nobody would target him. David says that, if that is true and he makes it to the end, he has his vote. David CCs that, on the other end, if what Journey has theorized is true and it works like they expect, John may be one of the best players. Journey tells John, alone, at the water well, that people have been bringing his name up as he keeps talking about his plans and ideas and people can't seem to trust him. Journey CCs that she feels really sorry for John and wanted to help him out a bit. John says that he's a superfan and got excited ... quite a bit. John CCs that Journey is right and he really needs to tone it down a little. Andre, Sam, and Kaeghan return. Sam comments that the feast was alright but it's nice to be back with everybody. Sam CCs that the feast was amazing and the fact that he got to spend it with Andre and Kaeghan was great, especially Andre. Kaeghan and Adrian are at the water well. Kaeghan says that he was talking with Andre and Sam and all three of them want a four person alliance with him. Adrian says that he is in. Sam suggests the name "Core Four" and the others love it. Kaeghan CCs that he wants Core Four in the end, no doubt. Renata approaches David in the shelter and talks about her distrust towards Janeane. Renata CCs that everybody loves David so she figures that David has a lot of pull and she needs to move before Janeane remembers how she campaigned for Liz to go. David says that he has no problem voting against Janeane, CCing that Janeane has a fantastic social game so, if he can pull the votes, he will and send a great social player home.
ALICIA and SAM win Immunity!
Sam CCs that he didn't want to win Immunity but his target is John and he was in the Top 3. Sam whispers to Kaeghan in the shelter that it shouldn't be too hard to get the votes as they have the four, Journey, and Janeane so far. Kaeghan agrees that this should be an easy vote as people don't trust him. Journey CCs that she knows that the votes will fall onto John and she wants to give him a chance to redeem himself. Journey whispers to John that people may try to get rid of him now but she won't vote against them. She says that she will see who everybody is targeting and, if they can make a new majority voting block, that should save him. John says that he really appreciates it and CCs that he doesn't see himself targeting Journey as she is a genuinely fantastic person and a great ally. David tells Anabel in the shelter that he wants to target Janeane as she is super perceptive, very smart, and is a fantastic social player. Anabel agrees that, when you think about it, she is a threat. Anabel CCs that she does not like the idea of targeting Janeane. She cries a bit, saying that Janeane is a truly amazing person and a great friend but she can't betray her alliance this early and the only other target people want out is in her alliance and it's too soon to let John go. Janeane asks Kaeghan and Lauren about the vote. Kaeghan says that people want John out as nobody can trust him. Lauren says that John is a fantastic guy but his mouth has dug him a big hole. Janeane says that she is fine with that and CCs that, next time, however, she knows who she wants out next. At the water well, Janeane tells Adrian that she trusts him a lot so she wants him to know that she's been curious about why Evie and Alicia turned on eachother after being so close. Adrian says that it's pretty confusing as well. Janeane tells him that Alicia has confirmed a source and she remembers Renata mentioning to her and Alicia about how Liz was saying things about them. Adrian asks if Janeane thinks that Renata turned Evie and Alicia against eachother by telling them that the other person said shit about them. Janeane thinks that it could be paranoia but she could be right. She tells Adrian to watch Renata in conversations and see what she says to him in private conversations. As of now, nothing has been confirmed. Adrian thanks her. Janeane CCs that she found out the truth and she may pay for it if Alicia and Renata are very close. Either way, if something does happen to her in the game, she needs to plant the seeds to somebody else to ensure that Renata goes next. David is telling Kaeghan about the plan. Kaeghan thinks that it could be time to let John go but David says that Janeane is not in an alliance with them while John is and, if he goes, they could be the next targets. Kaeghan asks if they even have the votes and CCs that he will have to backstab one alliance tonight.
AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Alicia calls out Janeane for being deceitful. The two bicker. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Adrian votes for John Alicia votes for Janeane Anabel votes for Janeane Andre votes for John David votes for Janeane Hardy votes for John Janeane votes for John John votes for Janeane Journey votes for Janeane Kaeghan votes for Janeane Lauren votes for John Renata votes for Janeane Sam votes for John With a vote of 7-6, JANEANE has been eliminated.

Episode 7
(TITLE)
As everybody returns to the merge camp, Adrian CCs that the vote, tonight, was intense as Janeane warns him about Renata and, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Janeane goes and he is left blindsided. He says that the vote was 7-6 and he is trying to wrap his head around the fact that 7 people voted Janeane out and he doesn't know why. He says that this is no coincidence and, now, he has no choice but to keep an eye on Renata. Renata CCs that everything went according to plan and Janeane, her target, is out. She is ecstatic. John thanks everybody who saved him and CCs that he, somehow, survived a 7-6 vote and there is, no doubt, that he is grateful, especially towards Journey as she spoke to him about how his mouth has made people weary of him and has been the one person who has spoken to him the most out of the past 3 days. He says that, what is really weird, is that he was never on a tribe with Journey and she trusts him. He really appreciates that a lot.
Opening Credits
In the morning, Hardy and Lauren are sitting by the water. Lauren says that they were in the minority and that doesn't feel good. Lauren CCs that the vote was really close and they ended up in the minority. She hopes that they aren't targeted because of that and that, hopefully, they can get into the majority for the next vote. Hardy says that he heard that John was going home but something must have happened. Andre and Sam are at the water well. Andre is so confused over what happened. Sam says that Janeane must have done something as it made no sense as to why she left. Sam CCs that something is fishy as he had not heard Janeane's name come up at all. Andre says that he tried asking people about the possible reasons and nobody knows. Sam wonders about the 6 who voted with them. Andre says that there was the Core Four (Adrian, Andre, Kaeghan, and Sam), Janeane, and one other person. Sam says that, while it is good to investigate, it could get them in trouble. Andre agrees and CCs that, out of everybody, especially after the Tribal, he would like nothing more than to be in the Finals with Sam but they need to carve a path there first, somehow. Sam says that they should lay low and figure out who people want gone next and, maybe, they will see if there is a massive alliance. Andre hopes not but agrees that they can observe everybody and not get involved in strategy talk. Sam CCs that they were alone and he felt like it was a good time to ask. Sam asks about the possibility of them dating after the show. Andre says that he would like that and was worried about asking as he didn't want to make him feel awkward. Andre is very excited in the CC. Elsewhere, in the shelter, David and Renata are alone. David says that, with Janeane gone, he is hoping that they can stay loyal to each other as he's shown his loyalty. He CCs that the entire plan to get Janeane out was to recruit Renata so there is another number on his side. Everything he does in the game is very calculated. Renata says that there is no doubt that she is loyal now. In the water, Kaeghan and Adrian are talking. Kaeghan CCs that he voted Janeane out as she was a far bigger target than John, no doubt, and he wants to get to know the other three more before he jumps ship completely. However, he plans to lie about his vote. Adrian says that he doesn't know why Janeane left but he feels like there is a huge motive: because Renata wanted her gone. Kaeghan is confused, to which Adrian says that, before Tribal, Janeane warned him about Renata and said that she was the reason why Alicia and Evie grew apart and why Liz had the votes to go. Adrian CCs that Renata is a hidden mastermind that needs to go. Kaeghan said that she hasn't noticed Renata do much and wonders if Janeane overestimated. He CCs that the decision for Janeane to go came from David, not Renata. If he recalls, Renata was on board, though. Adrian says that, when Alicia and Evie started to fight, they were super close before and, all of a sudden, they fell apart. Kaeghan asks about the connection to Renata. Adrian says that Alicia told Janeane that she had a source that told her things about Evie and, also, Renata was talking to Alicia and Janeane about Liz. Kaeghan says that Janeane could've been paranoid. Kaeghan CCs that this conspiracy theory was Janeane's dying message in the game. If her theory turns out to be true, Janeane may have been very underestimated by him. Adrian says that they are playing Survivor so he knows people will use any tactic at their disposal. Kaeghan sees his point and CCs that David explained that Janeane was very observational and he sees Adrian the same way and wonders if the two of them were working together.
ALICIA, ANABEL, HARDY, AND LAUREN win REWARD (a trip to a local village).
Local Village Reward Segment
Lauren CCs that she loved the Reward and hopes to continue experiencing them. She says that she watched Survivor with her husband and kids and, now, she can tell them what the experience was like. She says that, yeah, there have been a lot of hardships but the experience has been very satisfying. John and Journey are alone in the shelter. John thanks Journey again and says that he is still here because of her. Journey says that she felt like John needed another chance. Journey CCs that a part of her felt bad for him and that is why she stepped in. John is a very friendly guy whose aspirations and excitement in the game are hindering him. She says that she felt like he was really alone and she didn't like that. John says that his excitement almost torpedoed his game and he has a chance to recover so he's been laying low. Journey says that she agrees with the idea. John CCs that he really owes Journey a lot so he plans to help get her to the Final 2. Hardy and Lauren are at the water well. Hardy feels like they've been doing a good job laying low. Lauren agrees and says that she shouldn't feel safe but it's good that she doesn't feel like a target. Hardy agrees, even though they were in the voting minority. Lauren says that John has been laying low and she likes that as she wants to trust John in the game but she can't. Hardy agrees and says that they still have a chance to be in the majority. Lauren wonders what Janeane did. Hardy says that he has no idea and CCs that, either way, they didn't get any votes and are one vote closer to making the Final 2 together. He says that he may lose to her as everybody loves Lauren but they have become such good friends and allies that he'd really like to see them make the Finals. Lauren CCs that Hardy is her "ride or die" as they say and she hopes that they can get to the Finals somehow. Anabel and David are in the shelter alone. Anabel says that, down the road, Hardy needs to go. David agrees and thinks that he should go in 11th and he has another target for the upcoming vote. Anabel asks who he thinks is a bigger threat than Hardy. David says Andre as he is a wildcard and he's noticing him become pretty close with Sam. Anabel says that Hardy and Lauren have a bond from dealing with Liz but David says that those two are big targets while Andre may slide under the radar. David CCs that Andre has the capabilities of playing a superb under the radar game and that is more threatening than Hardy and Lauren right now. Anabel understands and says that, after Andre, they should target Hardy and then Alicia. David agrees and says that it's a deal. Anabel says that she's grateful of their friendship. David agrees and says that, outside of the game, he'd like to keep in contact with her. David CCs that he respects Anabel enough to target Hardy and Alicia after Andre as they are partners in the game, first and foremost, and, as partners, they decide the targets together. He says that he is happy that Anabel has stepped up and named targets as they should be working together. He says that, working with her, he's gotten to know a very respectful and respectable person that he'd like to remain friends with after the game.
ANABEL wins IMMUNITY!
Anabel CCs that it's easy for people to see her as David's lapdog as he's made all of the decisions so far and that's why the Immunity and her naming future targets was that more important to her. She says that David has been supportive and that's when she, truly, knew that he was beyond trustworthy. Journey and Lauren are in the shelter. Journey says that Lauren's family is watching from home and is super proud of her. Lauren CCs that she adores how kind and supportive Journey is and wishes the best for her and Laurel. Lauren says that the same can be said for Laurel. Journey smiles and says that she would love to make it to the Final 8 and see Laurel. Lauren asks about Journey's parents, to which Journey says that she hasn't spoken to them in years as they weren't accepting of her sexuality and her relationship with Laurel. She says that she's been referring to Laurel's parents as mom and dad as they've been super supportive and nice. Lauren CCs that talking to Journey and hearing what she's been through, she has a lot of respect for her. She says that Journey has been so nice that she enjoys talking with her a lot. David tells Kaeghan that the next target is Andre. Kaeghan CCs that, at this point, he is no longer playing David's game. He has gotten to know the other members of the Core Four and he thinks it is time to turn the tables on David by making sure his target stays. Kaeghan tells Andre to use the idol as he is the target. Andre thanks him for the info and he says that, after observing everybody for a bit, he has the perfect idea of who should go. Kaeghan is curious. Andre CCs that, thanks to Kaeghan telling him that he is the target, he knows that he has the votes to get out a massive threat.
AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Alicia calls out John for laying low when he should own up to his mistakes. Journey and Alicia start to bicker. Alicia concedes and apologizes to John. After the votes, Andre plays his idol. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Adrian votes for David Alicia votes for John Anabel votes for Andre Andre votes for David David votes for Andre Hardy votes for Andre John votes for Andre Journey votes for Andre Kaeghan votes for David Lauren votes for Andre Renata votes for Andre Sam votes for David With a vote of 7-4-1, DAVID has been eliminated.

(TITLE)
As everybody returns to the merge camp, Anabel CCs that ... she's completely blindsided. She doesn't even know how to process what just happened and, now, her closest ally is gone. Adrian CCs that everybody is confused as to why David left and who could've told Andre about him being the target. He says that Andre decided that he wanted David out and that's what happened. However, now, he is unsure about how he can get Renata out when it's obvious that the numbers aren't on his side. He says that it's best to continue strengthening bonds for now and focus on the task at hand later. Andre CCs that, after Kaeghan revealed that he was the target, he knew that David was behind the idea as everybody loved David and he saw Kaeghan talking to him in the shelter quite a few times. He suspects Kaeghan of not voting with them to take out John but, now, it is obvious to him that he is on their side, fully, now. Renata CCs that she is confused on how the plan was leaked to Andre.
Opening Credits
The next day, Kaeghan is cooking some rice while Sam, Andre and Adrian are in the shelter. The four joke around a bit and discuss hitting some bars after the game. Sam is really surprised how well they all get along. Andre asks their opinion on the vote. Adrian says that they pulled it off but, to avoid being targeted, they can't be around each-other much. Sam doesn't like the idea of them not hanging out as much but feels like it is the safest option for them. Later, Anabel CCs that somebody told Andre about the plan and she needs to find out who. Anabel talks with Kaeghan in the shelter. Kaeghan says that he really didn't see David as a threat and so it is weird to him that he was targeted. Anabel agrees and says that somebody told Andre about the plan and that's why David was targeted as David was the one who wanted to target Andre. Kaeghan says that the only way somebody would benefit from betraying David was if they saw it as a big move. He CCs that, in order to escape suspicion, he's decided that it's time to send John to the jury house. Anabel is out for blood and John is the easiest scapegoat at this moment. Anabel says that the idea makes sense and the only person who has been vocal about making big moves is John Finn. Kaeghan asks her if he is really loyal to anybody or if he is so obsessed with making a big move that he is willing to backstab an ally and try to pin it on somebody else. Anabel asks who he would pin it on. Kaeghan says that he has no idea but he wouldn't be surprised if he did try hard to blame somebody else. Anabel says that they need to keep an eye out on him, especially since he's been trying to lay low lately. Kaeghan CCs that Anabel is a super smart individual and he knows that this conversation meant everything in the long run. Later, Journey is with Anabel in the shelter. Journey says that, if she needs to vent or talk, she's here for her. Anabel says that she appreciates it. Journey says that her and David will, no doubt, be friends on the outside. Anabel hopes so and says that she would like to remain friends with her (Journey) as well. Journey appreciates that and says that they'll be great friends. Anabel CCs that Journey is an amazing individual and Laurel is one lucky woman. She says that Journey is so nice and so friendly. Anabel tells Journey that John is the only person who would've leaked the plan to Andre. She knows that John wants to make a big move and he took it. Journey says that she's noticed that John has been laying low after realizing that he messed up and feels like it would be too obvious. Anabel says that, sometimes, the most obvious answer is the correct one. At the water well, Journey tells John that there is some suspicion about him leaking the plan to Andre. John tells Journey that he appreciates her telling him and says that he didn't do it. He CCs that he's been laying low thanks to Journey's advice and, no doubt, his past actions are coming back to haunt him as David's elimination is being blamed on him. On top of this, he got a vote at Tribal Council and he doesn't know who voted for him. Journey says that they have a couple days to turn the vote around and says that she will never vote for him. John says that same and CCs that he trusts Journey to the very end. Sam, Andre, and Adrian are talking in the shelter. Adrian says that he is glad that Kaeghan isn't hanging out with them right now as he'd be outed. Sam thinks it's smart. Adrian thinks that they should go after Renata next. Sam wonders if they would even have the votes and points out that they only had the votes to take out David due to the idol. Adrian says that it's a good point but, if they get another idol, Renata would be a huge move. He CCs that Janeane was right and, that, Renata is really suspicious. Renata and Alicia are talking at the water well. Renata is surprised that Andre took out David. Alicia says that she can respect a good move. Renata tells Alicia that it's possible that Andre could see her as the next big target due to her immunity win and gameplay so far. Alicia feels like she wouldn't be due to her only winning one immunity. Renata points out her performance in the 2nd challenge. Alicia sees her point and thinks that taking out Andre would be a huge move as he controlled himself and 3 other votes. Renata CCs that she knows that everybody will hate her due to her strategy and gameplay. She says that her friends and family will tell people how nice of a person she is. However, she has one shot at the prize and she needs to make sure that she gets there. So, her strategy is to continue to make other people bigger targets than her, including Alicia.
The Reward is a private picnic and helicopter ride. Lauren wins and decides to take Hardy.
Lauren CCs that she is VERY surprised that she won a challenge. She says that the game has been both stressful and rewarding and she is glad to share the experience and the reward with her closest ally, Hardy. In the helicopter, Hardy thanks her for taking him. Lauren says that he shouldn't be surprised as they are close allies and this is to reward them overcoming the challenges so far in the game. Hardy thanks her again. He says that the game has been pretty insane and people have been trying to figure out the other 3 David votes that it's been exhausting. Lauren has noticed Sam has been around Andre a lot during the merge and feels like they are a duo. Hardy thinks she's right. Lauren also says that she had a conversation with Anabel earlier and she suspects that John told Andre the plan. Hardy chuckles and says that he is not surprised with how many times John has talked about wanting to make a big move. When they arrive, Hardy CCs about how great the picnic was and feels like he and Lauren are in a good spot in the game.
Back at camp, there is a montage of Alicia and John trying to find the idol with Alicia getting a 2nd idol in her possession. After Hardy CCs about Lauren's good position, there is a montage with different castaways talking about how much they like Lauren and really appreciate her around camp. Lauren also CCs about being the mom of the merge tribe. Later on, Hardy and Adrian are in the shelter. Hardy says that he isn't obsessed about the David vote like Anabel is. Adrian says that he is the same way. He says that it's more and more obvious that they were a duo. Hardy agrees. Hardy CCs that, in the end, the votes for David don't affect him. He feels like, due to Adrian being a wildcard with no definitive allies that he can see, he may be the 4th vote but he isn't going to rat him out for it. Hardy tells Adrian that he respects him a lot in the game and feels like they could work together. Adrian feels the same way and CCs that Hardy is a calm, collected individual and is easy to talk to, which is why he can see himself working with Hardy down the road. Adrian tells Hardy that his main target is Renata and tells him about what Janeane said and the coincidences with her elimination. Hardy says that Renata, definitely, seems a bit suspicious but she doesn't seem too dangerous and Janeane's elimination was conducted by David. Adrian wonders if David was more of a mastermind around camp than he thought. Hardy says that David being dangerous is why he isn't too bothered with the vote. Hardy CCs that Andre did him a favour as there is a chance that David could've gotten to the end and won it all as most of the tribe trusted him like crazy. Later, Alicia shows Renata the idol and Renata says that Andre and Anabel won't be able to touch her now. Alicia wonders what Anabel has to do with anything. Renata says that Anabel has been trying to figure out the 4 votes for David and people around camp suspect her (Alicia) to be one of the votes. Alicia CCs about how Anabel is full of sh**.
ALICIA wins Immunity!
Back at camp, Alicia calls out Anabel for being very paranoid about the vote and says that SHE was NOT involved and, that, she voted for John. She tells Anabel that she's a self-obsessed snob who thinks that everybody needs to think the same way she does. Anabel and Alicia end up in a HUGE screaming match. Adrian CCs that the outburst is so random that she had to have been told some lies ... from Renata. After things calm down, John thanks Alicia for her honesty that she voted for him. Alicia tells John that he's super untrustworthy and he's been hearing that he was one of the votes and it's bulls*** that people are blaming her ... like Anabel. Anabel tries to insist that she didn't and they end up in another screaming match. Later, at the water well, Kaeghan tells Sam that he's been laying the groundwork for John to go as it's either him or one of them. Sam agrees, even though John is a good shield and one of them could be next. Sam wonders if they could find a way to spare John this round but Kaeghan doesn't think that they will have the votes as he's tried talking to Hardy earlier and he's been insistent about John going. Sam wonders if the four of them could vote with Alicia for Anabel but Kaeghan feels like they would lose the trust of a lot of people. Sam agrees and thinks that they should talk to Andre and Adrian about this as well. Sam CCs that the Cour Four may have some control in the camp after all ... somehow.
AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Alicia lays into Anabel and John and people start ignoring Alicia. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Adrian votes for John Alicia votes for Anabel Anabel votes for John Andre votes for John Hardy votes for John John votes for Anabel Journey votes for Anabel Kaeghan votes for John Lauren votes for John Renata votes for John Sam votes for John With a vote of 8-3, JOHN has been eliminated.

Episode 9
(TITLE)
As everybody returns to the merge camp, Journey CCs that, once everybody made up their mind, John's elimination was set in stone and she felt like it was too easy of a vote and even easier to make him a scapegoat. She says it wasn't right but that's the game. Anabel sits down in the shelter and CCs that she got three votes against her and she feels that it's best to target the other two next. She says that, with John gone, they've voted out a massive wildcard. She also adds that, despite her not trusting him in the game, she did believe that John was a super nice person. Alicia says that these councils won't get any easier so they all need to suck it up. She CCs that tomorrow is Day 25 and she's ready to crush the competition. Meanwhile, the others return from Tribal Council and it is the same thing every time. "That was so hard!" "Did you see the look on their face?" "We crushed somebody's dream!" Grow up.
Opening Credits
In the morning, Adrian, Andre, Kaeghan, and Sam are at the water well. They all joke around a bit and also talk about being friends, for sure, on the outside. They put their hands together and doing a quiet "CORE FOUR!". After that, Adrian says that Renata really needs to go. Kaeghan CCs that Adrian is obsessed with Renata but, so far, Renata has yet to win a competition. Meanwhile, Alicia has won two. Kaeghan says that Alicia worries him. Kaeghan CCs that a part of Janeane Coffey's theory is that Alicia and Renata are close to each-other and, if she left that Tribal Council, it would prove that. Janeane ended up leaving and, if the two of them ARE together, that gives him more reason to target Alicia. Kaeghan says that, if the two of them are together, it would make sense to target the stronger of the two first so they don't have to deal with that person later as they are, now, at the Final 10. The others point out how that makes sense. Adrian says that he is on board with taking out Alicia first and weakening Renata. Adrian CCs that Janeane brought up so many good points and he can't help but worry that Renata is this massive mastermind. However, Alicia won two immunities and almost won a third at the Final 12. Andre says that they need to make sure that they don't expose the Core Four. The others agree. Andre CCs that the Core Four has gotten rid of David and John and, now, their next target is Alicia Brooklyn Lorentzen. Later, Journey and Lauren are in the shelter alone. Lauren says that her husband, Freddie Paivas, and her met during high school and it was love at first sight. They both admit that it was lust at first but they both grew to actually develop feelings for each-other. At the time, she was known as Lauren Joan Moon. Lauren CCs that her brother, Paul Moon, who is a fantastic attorney, was Freddie's friend, which helped. Journey says that she seriously loves how much they have bonded. Journey CCs that a fantastic part of the experience is getting to know these people and what their lives are like. Alicia and Renata are walking down the beach. Renata tells Alicia that, no matter what, they need to stick together. Alicia says that she trusts Renata a lot. Renata CCs that Alicia and Evie made very hurtful comments about her that she overheard earlier in the game, which is why she split her and Evie up. Her mission, now, is to turn Alicia into the ultimate shield. While her and Alicia have bonded a bit, she can't help but remember the comments and that is what motivates her to win the game no matter what. Nobody insults her or her fiance ... ever. Andre and Sam are at the water well. Sam says that Anabel's had this attitude like she's out for blood after David's elimination and it's making him a bit uneasy. Sam CCs that Anabel went from playing under the radar to being at the front lines of strategy and not a single person is safe. To him, her and Alicia are his next targets. Andre agrees and says that she could be the next big wildcard. Sam thinks that they should target her next and keep Alicia around as a huge shield in front of him. Andre agrees and says that they shouldn't keep Alicia around for too long, tho, as she appears to be a physical threat. Kaeghan is in the shelter with Adrian. Adrian says that he's starting to see what people mean when they say that Andre and Sam are close. Kaeghan agrees but says that he isn't worried. Adrian CCs that Andre and Sam, much like Hardy and Lauren, are, no doubt, a duo. They head off to the water well together quite a bit and they seem to trust each other the most out of everybody. It worries him because of when they reach the Final 4 together. Adrian thinks that they should target one of them at the Final 5. Kaeghan agrees but, until then, he isn't too worried as they need to get to the Final 5 first. Adrian talks about his passion for the culinary arts and how he's a waiter while he's attending college. He says how he's been cooking since he was 10 thanks to his parents being chefs and, growing up, he's grown a huge interest. Adrian asks Kaeghan about his occupation and what inspired him to do it. Kaeghan says that he grew up playing games and wanted to make his own so he studied programming in high school and found some indie game jams and decided to try working on a project to submit for the next one. He says that he's almost done college and he's studying programming and graphic design and has submitted for a few indie game jams over the past couple years. Kaeghan CCs that he plans to own his own massive game company someday. Renata is talking to Lauren about how her brother inspired her to become a multimedia artist and how, growing up, she's always looked up to him as he was always so amazing. She says that, while she was inspired by him to pursue that, she isn't one because of him as she worked hard and loves her job. Lauren really respects that and CCs that, while she can suspect Renata of being far smarter than she lets on, she does like the moments where she shares moments of her life. Renata says that her parents were either too drunk or dragged away by the police so it was always her and her brother. She CCs that growing up was really hard but she is proud of where she is now. Anabel is taking a walk alone. She CCs that she is observing everybody and she can't help but see Hardy as a massive threat as he is liked by everybody and is a good competitor who is, purposely, holding back in the challenges as to avoid people catching on. She also says that Hardy and Lauren are a duo and seem to be the most likely two votes against her. Anabel is talking to Sam about how Hardy needs to go. She says that he will win in the end and tells him why she thinks that. Lauren, however, overhears the conversation, CCing that she needs to let Hardy know that Anabel needs to go. Hardy and Lauren are by the water well. Lauren tells Hardy about Anabel and Sam's conversation. Hardy says that Anabel's been on a rampage since David left so, at this point, it may be best to vote her out. Hardy CCs that Anabel is too big of a threat and she has been making her target bigger and bigger since David left. Lauren is confused as to why she isn't against Andre as he used the idol and sent David packing. Hardy is also confused but assumes that they talked to each other about the vote. Hardy is talking to Renata and Journey about Anabel's rampage since David left and how she is becoming too much of a wildcard. They agree that it's time for Anabel to go. Renata CCs that she isn't ready to let Anabel go just yet. Renata then talks with Anabel, saying that the votes are not in her favour. She says that Hardy is targeting her pretty hard. Anabel thanks her and says that it's in their best interest to send Hardy packing before it's too late. Anabel CCs that Hardy shouldn't have messed with her.
Survivor Auction! Anabel waits to get the clue.
There is a montage of Anabel finding the idol and calling Hardy out for targeting her. Anabel CCs that it's on between her and Hardy. Hardy and Lauren are at the water well. Hardy tells Lauren that, in the event that Anabel gets enough votes against him, he'll idol her out. Hardy CCs that it's an all out war of who can get the other out first and, in some way, it's made the game much more exciting. Lauren tells Hardy that she has his back. Hardy thanks her. Lauren CCs that she won't let Hardy leave that easily. Renata and Alicia are in the shelter. Renata says that they have a lot of people to choose from to target. Alicia agrees. Renata says that they have to keep Andre and Sam in mind for the future as well, especially Sam, as he is a phys ed teacher and has won an immunity already. Alicia asks about Hardy and Anabel. Renata says that they may have to choose a side. Renata CCs that the game has gotten interesting and she is like the commander hiding in the very back.
ANDRE wins Immunity!
Andre CCs that, now that he's won Immunity, they can, easily, take a shot against Alicia. Andre and Kaeghan talk in the shelter. Andre says that she was close to winning so, now, she needs to go. Kaeghan agrees and says that she is too big of a threat. Adrian and Sam joins them and Andre tells them about targeting Alicia. They are ready. Adrian CCs that Alicia is the next big wildcard as she goes off on everybody and has won Immunity twice already. They can't trust her. However, after Alicia goes, the Core Four needs to target Renata as he wants to avenge Janeane's shady elimination. Sam is talking to Lauren alone and says that the votes are shifting against Alicia and it may be best to take her out now before it is too late. Lauren agrees but says that Alicia will always be a threat while Anabel is a huge wildcard and may slide by. Lauren CCs that she adores Sam but Anabel needs to go before she gets the votes to go after Hardy. Lauren, later, talks to Renata about what Sam said about Alicia but she wants to target Anabel still. Renata agrees and says that it could be split between Alicia and Hardy so it may be best for Hardy or one of them to find an idol to protect him. Renata CCs that, unfortunately for Lauren, Alicia is a very close ally of hers and she may have just sealed Sam's fate. Renata tells Alicia that the votes are stacked against her, CCing that she knows about Alicia's idol and she's banking on that. Renata says that she's been hearing people say that they don't like her so the vote could be more personal than strategic. Alicia CCs that she is livid.
AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Alicia lays into everybody for being too shady. She, then, goes on a tirade and says that nobody on the tribe likes her and they are, very, ungrateful. Alicia, Hardy, and Anabel all use idols. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Adrian votes for Alicia Alicia votes for Sam Anabel votes for Hardy Andre votes for Alicia Hardy votes for Anabel Journey votes for Alicia Kaeghan votes for Alicia Lauren votes for Anabel Renata votes for Sam Sam votes for Alicia With a vote of (5)-(2)-(1)-2, SAM has been eliminated.

As everybody returns to the merge camp, Andre CCs that he just lost his closest ally in the game after an insane tribal council. He's unsure how to process it. Andre is, visibly, distraught, leading to Anabel to ask Andre if he had feelings for Sam. Andre says that he does. Adrian CCs that tonight was one insane night as three people played idols, Sam went home, and Kaeghan and him were shocked to hear that Andre and Sam were close. He says that, while the Core Four has lost a member, they still have a mission: vote Renata out as she is very dangerous. Alicia says that she's just happy that the plan to vote her out failed. Renata CCs that things went according to plan and she chose Sam due to his challenge ability out of him and Andre. She says that Hardy stopped being an option when she realized that Anabel would always go after him.
Opening Credits
The next morning, Andre, Kaeghan, and Adrian are in the shelter. Adrian says that two people voted for Sam and one of them has to be Alicia as Alicia voted for Anabel during the John vote. Kaeghan CCs that they were blindsided but they can bounce back. He says that Alicia Brooklyn Lorentzen's days in the game are numbered. At the same time, she could be a good jury goat. Andre says that he is so done with Alicia and her attitude. Andre CCs that Alicia is, both, a strong threat and a jury goat. She can win challenges very easily. However, she has a horrible social game. The reason that she has been a target for him is because of how unpredictable she is and he finds that to be dangerous. Andre says that, after Alicia goes, Renata is next, and then Anabel. He CCs that Anabel is sketchy and has been hanging around Alicia a lot. He can't trust her at all. Alicia and Anabel are talking. Anabel tells Alicia that she wants an official alliance between the two of them. She says that she trusts her a lot. Anabel CCs that Alicia is very unlikable, which makes her an amazing finals goat. She has gotten to know Alicia just to take advantage of her trust in the game. Anabel says that she is loyal with her to the end. Alicia says that she is open to that, completely. Alicia CCs that she may have not likes Anabel at first but, slowly, she is growing on her. However, her loyalty is to Renata 100% but Anabel can be 3rd. Hardy and Lauren are at the water well. Hardy congratulates her on making it to the Final 9 and staying under the radar. Lauren says that she is excited, CCing that she never thought that she would have made it to the Final 9. In a way, she almost didn't if it wasn't for the duel. Hardy says that, maybe, they will have the votes to take out Anabel this time, CCing that Anabel Gromatti is a massive target and she is coming straight for him. He needs her out at the next Tribal Council. He says that she has what it takes to win and people may be too scared to go after her. Lauren says that they have what it takes to get to the end. She CCs that Anabel and Alicia don't scare her. She is here to make it to the end with Hardy and they will not get in her way. She is seen walking along the beach, CCing that people may underestimate her in the game because of her age. However, she is very observant and she has no problem deceiving people. She will protect herself and Hardy no matter what. Hardy talks to Andre and says that voting for Alicia may be dangerous and they could catch her off guard and vote for Anabel. He CCs that he needs to recruit the troops before it gets too late. Andre says that he is open to that as long as Alicia, Anabel, and Renata leave one by one. Hardy CCs that Andre has been trustworthy so he has faith that Andre could be loyal. Alicia and Renata are at the water well. Renata says that she wants to target Adrian next. Renata CCs that Adrian is very hard to read and he isn't too engaging in strategic conversations with her. Renata says that he is a huge wildcard and it is hard to trust him. Alicia agrees and says that Anabel was thinking that he may have been one of the four votes to eliminate David. Renata says that she wouldn't be surprised. She CCs that Adrian is very suspicious and a part of her is worried about leaving him in the game for too long. Alicia says that she plans to call him out to strengthen his target. Renata says that she can do whatever she wants. Alicia CCs that people need to know that Adrian is a threat. Alicia gets in front of the camp and yells at Adrian that he is a wildcard and people need to know that. Adrian CCs that Alicia suddenly decides that isolating herself further is a good way to win. Alicia yells that he better pack his bags. Adrian decides to tell Alicia that, if she continues to follow Renata's orders, she'll leave the game with no friends and she'll realize how silly she was to follow her. The two engage is a yelling match. As it goes on, Anabel CCs that the drama is very annoying but, at least, it is not directed at her. Journey CCs that a part of her wishes that everybody would get along. Alicia CCs that Adrian needs to go or she will rip her hair out.
ALICIA, ANABEL, and RENATA win Reward Renata says that Adrian needs to go next. The others agree. Anabel CCs that she has grown to trust Renata and she made a Final 2 with Alicia so a part of her feels obligated to go along with the plan. When Anabel leaves for the bathroom, Renata then convinces Alicia to use the idol on her if she loses immunity and Alicia says that she will. Alicia CCs that people may target Renata and she can't have that at all.
Back at camp, Andre is telling Journey that, to him, his targets are Alicia, Anabel, and Renata in any order. Journey CCs that, when one thinks about it, the three targets of Andre aren't coming after her and a part of her wants to play the middle. Andre says that they are the biggest threats in the game. Journey says that she can see why. Journey CCs that the game is turning into a warzone with her in the middle. She will have to choose a side eventually. Journey is talking with Hardy about Andre targeting Alicia, Anabel, and Renata. Hardy says that he would like to see Anabel go but he is up for whatever. Journey says that Adrian wants Renata out, Andre wants Alicia out, and Hardy wants Anabel out. Hardy says that they are all huge threats, CCing that it would be smart to have everybody team up and take them all out, no doubt. Journey is sitting alone in the shelter, talking to herself, saying that she is in such a good position that it's actually bad for her. Journey CCs that she has the trust of everybody in the tribe and checks up on everybody regularly. However, she has to choose a side or it will bite her in the end. Alicia, Anabel, and Renata return. Anabel CCs that life on camp is very peaceful and that makes her uncomfortable. While they were away, there could have bee strategizing. Andre is sitting in the water, CCing that the tribe is now united and it is time for the Core Four to claim another victim. Adrian is sitting in the shelter, CCing that, while they were away, he managed to get everybody onto the same page: Alicia. He will wait on the other two but, as she has two immunities under her belt AND an idol play, she needs to go.
ANABEL wins Immunity!
Anabel CCs that she can't be the target now. Renata is talking to Alicia at the water well. Renata tells her that they need to target another challenge threat this time and leave Adrian for later. Alicia asks why. Renata says that this person is holding back and she can see it. Renata CCs that this person thinks they are very sneaky. However, it is now obvious that they have been throwing challenges. Adrian, Andre, and Kaeghan are in the shelter alone. Adrian says that the Core Four is still in motion. He CCs that he's not giving up. Everything is in place and this vote should go smoothly. Kaeghan says that Alicia is the obvious vote as there is no way she would find another idol so quickly. Andre tells Kaeghan not to jinx it. He CCs that it has been a crazy ride so far and he wants to see it through to the end.
AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Journey mentions that, for a bit, she had to endure Evie Cobo-Smith and she knows Hardy had to endure Liz. She says that, while the two of them are gone, the drama continues. Alicia defends herself and says that she calls people out when she finds that they spew bullsh**. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Adrian votes for Alicia Alicia votes for Hardy Anabel votes for Hardy Andre votes for Alicia Hardy votes for Alicia Journey votes for Alicia Kaeghan votes for Alicia Lauren votes for Alicia Renata votes for Hardy With a vote of (6)-3, HARDY has been eliminated.

As everybody returns to the merge camp, Lauren CCs that Hardy was her closest friend in the game and, somehow, he is gone! She says that Alicia is invincible!!! In the shelter, Adrian, Andre and Kaeghan wonder how they will get rid of Alicia if she keeps winning immunities and using idols. Adrian says that they can't give up. If Alicia is invincible, then, maybe, they go right after Renata. Adrian CCs that Alicia is Renata's bodyguard right now. What makes more sense is to stop going after somebody like her and go after the ringleader.
Opening Credits
In the morning, Lauren is alone on the beach. She CCs that the game has been insane so far. She never expected herself to deal with Liz, be eliminated, come back in and then lose her closest ally. It has been a roller coaster of emotions for her. Renata joins her on the beach and says that Hardy really was a fantastic person. Lauren asks why he went. Renata says that it wasn't her choice and says that it was Anabel who came up with the plan. She says that Andre helped vote Hardy out after Sam left. Apparently, he felt like Hardy was responsible. Renata CCs that this is all a lie. She hopes to recruit Lauren onto her side after blindsiding her closest ally. Lauren says that neither of them even voted Sam out. Renata says that Andre didn't know that. Lauren tells Renata that the game does crazy things to people. She CCs that she doesn't fully believe Renata but you never know what paranoia does to somebody. Adrian is talking with Journey. He says that it is better that they go after Renata instead of Alicia. Journey feels like Alicia could be vulnerable and, if she is, it is worth another shot. Adrian says that they are at the Final 8. If Alicia wins immunity, he hopes that Journey can help vote out the ringleader of the tribe. Journey is confused at what he said. Adrian explains that Renata is the one controlling Alicia and has been behind most of the votes since the merge. Journey says that she thinks that Renata is playing under the radar, yes, but Alicia is her own woman. She CCs that Adrian is spewing nonsense and she doesn't know if he is truly trustworthy. In the shelter, Alicia tells Renata that she really feels like she has no choice but to keep winning immunities and using idols. Renata says that she knows for a fact that people want her gone so it is the only way to move forward. Alicia is frustrated but Renata reassures her that she will never vote her out. Later, Kaeghan sets up a fake basketball game, despite lacking everything needed. Kaeghan CCs that he got really bored and it hit him that he could have some weird version of basketball! There is a slight montage of this.
Everybody gathers and it is revealed that is time for the loved ones to come out. You have: Adrian's younger brother, Levi Silva Alicia's older brother, Brendan Lorentzen Anabel's older sister, Erika Benanti Andre's dad, Corey Loureiza Journey's wife, Laurel Edgren Kaeghan's mom, Lily Veitao Lauren's oldest son, Matt Paivas Renata's fiance, Roman Wrayburn The host, Cornilio Roquez, reveals that the first placer will spend a night with their loved one in a hotel while the second placer will be allowed to bring their loved one to camp for a night. Adrian (and his brother, Levi) win first place while Journey (and her wife, Laurel) win second place! Adrian decides to give up his reward to Renata (and her fiance, Roman Wrayburn), CCing that, in the event that Renata has caught on to him targeting her, this should lessen that.
In the hotel, Renata and Roman have a very romantic evening together!
Back on Verdesia, Journey CCs that it is amazing that Laurel is here with her! She introduces Laurel to everybody! Lauren has a small montage of her being the tribe mom. Andre CCs that Lauren is one of the sweetest people he has ever met. Adrian is alone with Lauren. He talks to her about allying going to the Final 2 together. He CCs that his main goal is him, Andre and Kaeghan in the Final 3. Lauren in the finals with him is asking for him to lose as everybody loves her. He just needs an extra vote to go against Renata and her minions. Lauren says that she has heard that Andre took out Hardy. Adrian is very surprised and says that they all tried to get Alicia out, CCing that this sounds like Renata's handiwork. She says that Hardy was targeted by Andre because he, wrongly, believed that her and Hardy took out Sam. He says that he and Andre know that Sam left because of Renata and Alicia, not her and Hardy. Lauren CCs that she is very confused. Either Adrian is lying or Renata is lying. The next day, Renata returns! Alone in the shelter, Lauren talks to Renata about Adrian insisting that Andre didn't target Hardy. Renata says that Adrian has been in everybody's ear strategizing. If she believes him, then she is believing a mastermind. Lauren supposes that she is right. Renata CCs that Adrian giving up the reward for her was big. While she feels like he could be a threat, she feels like giving him three more days isn't bad. She has somebody else on her sights.
ALICIA wins Immunity!
In the shelter, Adrian and Kaeghan are chatting. Kaeghan says that, once again, Alicia won Immunity. He says that the only time she was really vulnerable during the merge so far was when David left. Adrian says that David was a huge strategic player. Kaeghan wonders if Renata could have controlled David or if getting rid of David helped her out. Adrian says that they were allied according to him so they would have worked together and had even more control of this game. Kaeghan supposes that he is right. He CCs that he is starting to wonder if they are on the outs. He says that it could easily become guys versus girls with them on the outs. If Renata really got to Lauren like he said, then it is Alicia, Renata, Lauren and Anabel versus them and Journey. Andre joins them and asks if they should try and talk to Journey before it is too late. Meanwhile, Anabel is with Alicia. She says that, at this point, it really does seem like guys versus girls. Alicia is shocked that they have Lauren and Journey with them. Just a couple days ago, if it wasn't for an idol, she would have been out. Anabel CCs that Alicia is a mega threat. If it was her choice, she would have pushed for her to go but, right now, the best thing they could do is get rid of the boys before they band together. Andre finds Journey in the water. He asks if her mind is made up yet. She says it isn't, CCing that, right now, she is in the middle. She doesn't know what to do at this point. Renata is in the forest with Lauren. She tells her that she has an idea to help appease everybody. Lauren asks if she is going to try and convince Alicia to give up her immunity necklace. Renata says that she isn't too worried about Alicia right now, especially with the way she has treated people in this game. She says that it is better that another girl goes instead this round instead of her.
AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH: Adrian votes for Renata Alicia votes for Anabel Anabel votes for Andre Andre votes for Renata Hardy votes for Anabel Journey votes for Anabel Kaeghan votes for Renata Lauren votes for Anabel Renata votes for Anabel With a vote of 4-3-1, ANABEL has been eliminated.
