Episode 1
(TITLE)
As the boats are approaching, the host, Cornilio Roquez, says that this is a season like no other. This season will see the castaways spiralling out of control as they try to get a grasp on the game. For the first twist only the audience will know ... each tribe, including the merged tribe, will have two hidden immunity idols somewhere hidden.

It then shows the Napilui tribe's boat. Ambra CCs that this is a dream come true as she's always wanted to be on the show. She comments on how beautiful it is out here and she wishes that her friends were with her. Rio CCs that his name is Liberio Cappello but his friends call him Rio. He is a 20 year old medical student from Kingsland. Kaye CCs that she is an enigma wrapped up into a person. However, she doesn't want the others to feel this way about her cause wildcards go home. Enrico CCs that he is from Gavino's Challenge and the others may know that if they watched the show. He wants to downplay his capabilities while he is out here and show people another side of him. Saahira CCs that she is ready for all the deceit. While she isn't as big a fan as her friends, she has seen a few seasons and wanted to experience the game.

It then shows the Leduaranor tribe's boat. Rowan CCs that, years ago, his "mother" competed on the show and exposed herself to the world as a very abusive mother. It helped him and his brother out of a very bad situation. After living with loving parents and changing his name, he is here for himself, as well as them. Millie CCs that she is a 54 year old mother of four and she is a very proud mother. She signed up because she wanted the thrill of playing the game her family has watched for years. Devon CCs that his name is Devon Serra and people may know him from Gavino's Challenge. He is also the brother of Season 15 winner, Rudi Serra. He knows that, if people have seen the show and know his connection to Rudi, he is a walking target. It'll be an uphill battle but he is here to play.

The boats arrive and the host, Cornilio Roquez, welcomes everybody to "Island of Spirals". This season, there will be twists and turns like never before. The real challenge is how to adapt. He then tells everybody to head to their respective camps.

On Napilui (Ambra, Angie, Brandi, Dean, Enrico, Kaye, Kole, Rio, Saahira, Taarif), Rio CCs that he is really starting to feel it now that they are at camp. It's all about how you adapt and this is just one big test for him. Brandi comments that it's absolutely stunning out here and CCs that the same can be said about Dean. Brandi starts off the introductions and says that she is an Audio-Visual Production Specialist from Ciunia She CCs that she went through a few hard years in high school but she isn't one to let words and actions get in the way of what she wants. She says that, now, she has her eyes on the prize. Ambra says that she is a journalist from Kingsland and CCs that, since Grade 7, she's always had dreams of being a professional journalist or an author. Either way, she loved writing. Kaye says that she is a realtor from Navocalco and CCs that she was born in Cunzava but had to move around the time her mother and grandmother were arrested. For the past 13 years, her and her teenage children have been living in Navocalco and have been great. Dean says that he is an Auditing Clerk from Ciunia and CCs that he has huge ambitions to win big one day and that's why he is on the show. He says that he has plenty of friends and a loving family back home so, while he is out here, he plans to play hard without remorse. Rio says that he is a graphic design student from Kingsland and CCs that he can not, at any point, reveal that he is a medical student. That would tank his game. Taarif says that he became unemployed right before he came out here and, that, he used to work as a cashier. When asked where he's from, he says that he is from Tolagovia. Taarif says that he is, actually, a legal aide from Variatis. Kole says that he is a boxer that was born in Ventden and now lives in Entrofeira. Kole CCs that he is known as "The Hatchet" and wanted to let people know that he is a boxer as they'll see him as a physical asset to the tribe. Angie says that she used to be an online journalist before becoming a professional podcaster. She says that she lives in Tolagovia with her loving husband. Enrico says that he was a professional hairdresser and, just last year, opened his own hair salon. Saahira says that she is an accountant from Roqua. Dean CCs that he is getting excited and really wants to start strategizing. He wonders how much he'll have to lie. He says that he'll have to hide his ambitions of becoming a professional gambler. Enrico takes the lead on the shelter.
On Leduaranor (Eric, Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Reed, Rowan, Tiffany, Zhian), Millie CCs that she is feeling a bit nervous. Thankfully, Gabby led with the introductions pretty quickly. Gabby says that she used to work in fast food before she started a gaming channel with her wife Sarah. She says that they, both, live in Kingsland. She CCs that her wife is Sarah Netuni from Season 16. Rowan says that he is a mechanical engineer from Entrofeira and CCs that he used to live in Ventden but a few circumstances led to him being adopted and the family moving to Entrofeira. Eric says that his name is Saber but he is known as "The Dynamo". Zhian asks if he is a fighter. Eric says that he wishes but people just call him that. Devon comments on the unique name and Eric thanks him. He CCs that he is looking to make it big so he wants an awesome stage name so he made Saber Colt "The Dynamo" Gunner. He says that Eric William Porta is just sooo boring and nobody will remember that. Josie asks if Saber is his real name as it's just so unique. Eric says that it is and he is surprised that his parents gave him such a badass name and thinks that it's because his last name is Gunner so they wanted something that would fit that. Tiffany comments on how Saber Gunner is a pretty epic name. She, then, says that she is a bartender from Navocalco, CCing that she is the daughter of Marciano Fidalliques, the CEO of NavoHome, Inc. In front of the cameras, she won't lie about being poor or middle class. She grew up really wealthy. She is here for the experience, mainly. Any money she makes from this will be going to charity, 100%. Reed says that he is a model from Principa and CCs that he may be a model but nobody should underestimate him as he has what it takes to win the game and, no doubt, he will win with a unanimous vote. Devon says that he is an author of fantasy books and has a couple books released already. He says that he is from Vizamaras. Zhian says that he and his wife are vloggers and have been making money off of their channel. He says that he is from Kingsland. Kamlyn says that she is a mechanic from Roqua. Josie says that she is a restaurateur from Cunzava. Eric offers to take lead on the construction of the shelter, CCing that "The Dynamo" will, no doubt, win favour in his tribe. He says that he hopes that this is an experience he can look back on and say "worth it", especially when he makes it big. As everybody starts to work on the shelter, Tiffany CCs that she's never built anything before in her life and, while it may be hard and a big part of her wants a break or to stop working on the shelter, she isn't going to stop.
On Napilui (Ambra, Angie, Brandi, Dean, Enrico, Kaye, Kole, Rio, Saahira, Taarif), as they finish the shelter, Enrico asks if a couple of people could get water. Ambra and Brandi offer to do so. At the water well, Brandi says that she wants to ally with Ambra. Ambra feels the same way. Brandi CCs that the moment they went off alone, she saw the opportunity. Brandi says that it is a bit too early to say who could be a target but, for right now, she wants an alliance with people that she can trust and she trusts Ambra quite a bit. Ambra feels the same way and says that something about Brandi gives off a trustworthy vibe. She CCs that it is really early to make an alliance but she really feels like she can trust Brandi. Back at camp, Taarif and Kole are in the shelter. Taarif wonders if Ambra and Brandi will ally as they are the only two going to the water well and past seasons have shown people allying there. Kole says that it's a huge possibility and it may be best to keep on eye on them to see how they interact. Kaye joins them in the shelter and Taarif brings up Ambra and Brandi potentially allying. Kaye agrees but thinks that it's too early for an alliance to be stable. She CCs that she'll have to keep an eye on Ambra and Brandi just in case. Later on, Angie gets the fire going and starts to cook. She CCs that she used to go camping quite a bit and, a couple times, her and her brother used to go in the middle of a forest for a week during the summers and try to play survivalist. Saahira, Ambra, Dean, and Kole are in the shelter. Saahira asks Kole about his boxing career. Kole says that he managed to find a mentor as he grew up in a rough part of town. He said that he wanted a way to defend himself at first but, as time went on, he wanted to make a career out of it and his mentor taught him the ways of boxing. He went on and competed and never quite won any competitions but, with each competition, he got closer and closer. Ambra finds that really respectable. Kole CCs that it was really nice to share some of his story. On top of that, it really seems like Ambra, Dean and Saahira really care as well. Angie calls everybody over for food.
On Leduaranor (Eric, Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Reed, Rowan, Tiffany, Zhian), Kamlyn CCs that it's no secret that Saber has no clue what he was doing when "leading" the shelter project, causing Zhian to step in. Josie and Kamlyn are on the beach talking. Josie thinks that Saber is to blame for a lack of leadership on his part, especially since Zhian had to step up and finish the project. Josie CCs that people really noticed that Saber is clueless. She really has to wonder why somebody so inexperienced wanted to lead the shelter project. Kamlyn says that they should focus less on that and on one person in particular: Devon. Kamlyn CCs that she recognizes Devon Serra and she knows how dangerous he is in a competition like this. Josie asks if she also recognized him. She says that she knows his name is Devon but wondered if he was Devon Serra from Gavino's Challenge. In the shelter, Rowan, Gabby, Tiffany and Zhian are talking. Tiffany invites Reed over to the water well later on in the evening. Once there, Tiffany says that being away from Saber should help him calm down. Reed thanks her and CCs that Tiffany is, no doubt, the hottest woman on the tribe and he knows that she invited him alone as she can't resist his charm. Tiffany says that she is glad that Zhian stepped up. She says that the shelter is not like any of the hotels she's been in but she's satisfied with it, especially since all of this is new to her. Reed asks her if she travels often. Tiffany says that she doesn't come from a poor family so she's traveled quite a bit. She says that she isn't lying when she says that she is a bartender, though. Reed says that he doesn't come from a poor family either and has gotten whatever he wanted growing up. Tiffany says that she relates as she was spoiled as well. Reed says that he knows he has what it takes to win big in life and this game poses no challenge to him. To him, everybody is beneath him. Tiffany CCs that she is really not liking Reed. The guy is some rich kid who was pampered his entire life and it shows. He has no grasp on reality. At least SHE is trying to grasp that. Tiffany tells him that his ego could bite him if he isn't careful. Reed tells her that it's not an ego, it's confidence. Tiffany tells Reed that it's arrogance and walks away. Reed CCs that Tiffany doesn't know what she is talking about. He's Reed Campos. SHE is Tiffany Gray. She is a nobody in this world.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!
Napilui wins!
On Leduaranor (Eric, Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Reed, Rowan, Tiffany, Zhian), Millie CCs that they lost the first challenge and, now, they are headed to Tribal Council. She is scared right now. Millie is in the shelter with Rowan and Devon. She tells them both that she has their backs no matter what. They thank her. Millie then turns to Devon and tells him that, even if she is safe, some people are talking about him. Devon CCs that this is news to him. If it's about what he expects, then he understands. Millie says that, apparently, he has competed on some other show but she doesn't care about that. She sees the two of them as trustworthy. Devon thanks her. Rowan says that he recognized him too but sees past that. Rowan CCs that he recognized two people from Gavino's Challenge. However, while some people want Devon out, he wants to have him as a teammate. Rowan says that they need to have somebody else as the target. Reed approaches Tiffany and says that, since they lost, he is waiting around until people beg him for his vote. Tiffany CCs that she may be in trouble as she is one of the reasons they lost the challenge. The other being Zhian. Tiffany tells Reed that she will have his back if she votes Zhian out with her. It's pretty obvious that the first boot will be the people who lost the challenge for the tribe. Reed agrees with her. Tiffany says that they should ally and head to the finals together, with Reed being excited about the idea. Tiffany CCs that Reed has an enormous ego and, right now, despite being a nuisance, he did good in the challenge. That means he is useful. At least for right now. Eric is with Rowan and Kamlyn. He says that he wants this first vote to be easy so he wants Zhian out. They don't call him "The Dynamo" for nothing. He CCs that he is here to be the fan favourite and he doesn't need a vlogger taking that from him. He wants people to be talking about Saber Colt Gunner, not Zhian. So, if he goes out early, people will then talk about him instead all the way to the end. Rowan asks what wanting Zhian out has to do with his nickname. He CCs that a part of him doubt that he was born with the name "Saber Colt Gunner" or that he got a nickname like "The Dynamo" for no reason. He is getting a lot of narcissist vibes and it makes him want him out. Rowan talks to Zhian about people discussing him or Tiffany. Zhian knows it's between the two of them. Rowan suggests they go after Saber instead but Zhian feels like getting rid of the other person who lost the challenge for them will help them in the long run. Zhian CCs that people are starting to suspect that Saber is lying about who he is, even down to his "name". Everything is just so exaggerated that it can't be real. However, he did very well in the challenge and they need that. So, Tiffany it is.
At Tribal Council, Cornilio mentions that even nights like tonight isn't exactly normal. As long as they adapt, they will be good. Tiffany opens up by saying that she knows it's between her and Zhian as they both lost the challenge for their tribe. The two of them then argue why they should be saved over the other.

AT THE TRIBAL (DAY 3), THE VOTES GO AS SUCH:

Eric votes for Zhian
Devon votes for Tiffany
Gabby votes for Tiffany
Josie votes for Tiffany
Kamlyn votes for Devon
Millie votes for Tiffany
Reed votes for Zhian
Rowan votes for Tiffany
Tiffany votes for Zhian
Zhian votes for Tiffany

With a vote of 6-3-1 ... Tiffany is not eliminated. Cornilio says he hinted that tonight was not normal and that is true. This ... is a fake Tribal Council. Tiffany will now be switched over to the other tribe.

On Leduaranor (Eric, Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Reed, Rowan, Tiffany, Zhian), as they return to camp, Millie CCs that she tried to say something but said nothing. Never before has Cornilio said that "tonight is not normal". She just didn't expect a fake Tribal Council. She is happy for Tiffany, though, despite voting her out. She hopes she gets a proper chance and they can focus on sending Reed or Saber out. Zhian thanks everybody for saving him and says that the twist was insane. Zhian CCs that, looking back, Cornilio literally told them something was up but he was too focused on staying. At least he knows that most people on the tribe are loyal to him. Devon asks who voted for him. Kamlyn CCs that she was shocked that there weren't at least two votes for Devon. Josie was her closest ally and she didn't say anything to her. Nobody answers and Devon says that just so everybody is in the clear ... yes, he is from Gavino's Challenge. He was in two seasons, actually. Everybody is shocked. Rowan CCs that Devon saying this is HORRIBLE! Devon CCs that, hopefully, people will see him as honest. Eric says that he knew right away as he has loads of friends from Gavino's Challenge. He says that his dad is also a producer of the show. Everybody is also shocked. Devon suggests they just go to sleep and ignore that.

In the morning, everybody is in the shelter as Rowan is cooking. Eric says that he donates to charity all the time and that he was offered to host many of them. Rowan, annoyed, then asks if he was offered to help produce Gavino's Challenge or if he knows Gavino Capriotti personally. Eric says that he does. Devon shakes his head and tells him to stop and learn how to lie better. Gabby CCs that she is excited about this. Not a single person believes Saber. Whether that is his real name or his new name, what doesn't change is that he has lied so much about himself. Eric says that Devon should stop and learn how to lie better. Devon just shakes his head and rolls his eyes. He says that not a single person believes him to be a genuine person. Rowan agrees and says that nothing seems realistic and asks if Saber Colt Gunner is his real name or something he came up with because it sounded "cool". Rowan CCs that, like everybody, he is sick and tired of "Saber's" antics. Nothing he says is true and the guy is a horrible liar. Zhian asks him who Saber Colt "The Dynamo" Gunner really is. Eric says that "Eric Porta" isn't a memorable name. Who is going to remember "Eric Porta"? Kamlyn accuses him of only being here for fame. Eric says that Devon clearly is. Devon says that he is here because he loves Survivor. That is different than seeking attention all the time. Reed CCs that he is mad that Eric going home won't be his move since he wasn't completely exposed by him. Devon asks Eric if anything from his backstory is true as Eric told numerous stories. Eric says that they will be. Gabby asks if anybody actually calls him "The Dynamo" as he, repeatedly stated. Eric says that it's a possibility in the future, especially after the game. Eric CCs that he messed up and may be the first person out because of it. Zhian says that he doesn't want to argue anymore and says that they need to work together in the Immunity Challenge. Rowan agrees and says that Eric may have created an entire backstory but that shouldn't stop them from working together.
On Napilui (Ambra, Angie, Brandi, Dean, Enrico, Kaye, Kole, Rio, Saahira, Taarif), in the morning, Ambra and Angie are in the water, bonding over their careers as journalists. Angie CCs that her and Ambra have one thing in common: they both studied journalism. While she isn't one anymore, she feels like she can trust Ambra due to this connection. Angie also talks a bit about the podcast she helps run, which Ambra really respects and says that she'll have to listen to it after the game. Taarif joins them and says that he can't believe it's only been one day. Angie says that she is loving it out here. Ambra says the same thing and asks Taarif about his life. Taarif says that he's had a, relatively, normal life. He says that he wants to be open about something and hopes that they don't spread it around. Ambra and Angie promise. Taarif says that he's actually a legal aide from Tolagovia and felt like saying that at first would make him an easy target. Ambra sees nothing wrong with that. Angie says that she really respects the honesty. Taarif CCs that he decided to trust Ambra and Angie with information regarding his real life and he really hopes that he can trust them with it. Dean is out fishing with Enrico. Dean CCs that, despite how he presents himself in the game, he has a loving wife and three children at home rooting for him. He says that, whenever they get the chance, he takes them to the cottage and they go fishing. He says that he loves the bonding experience. Dean and Enrico both laugh and get along. Brandi and Dean are talking, alone, while fishing. Brandi asks Dean about allying. Dean says that he was thinking the same thing as they've gotten along pretty well so far. Brandi asks Dean about a couple pointers, which Dean helps her out with. Brandi CCs that she will do whatever it takes to have some control in the game. She has been working hard on socializing and making connections. By the merge, it should pay off like Renata. Dean says that it may be in their best interest to target Angie as Angie gets along with everybody in the tribe and could be playing all sides. Brandi agrees and says that, after Angie, she'd like to take out Enrico for the same reason. Dean says that he is all up for that and, that, depending on how things go depends on who they target first. Brandi agrees, CCing that she may have found the best person to ally with. Dean is smart and knows what he is doing and he also comes across as somebody who could be loyal to her in this game. Taarif, Kaye, and Ambra are in the shelter alone. Taarif says that a part of him is excited to see what the Immunity Challenge is like. He CCs that, when he was in high school, he was on the football team AND the track team. Ambra hopes that the other tribe is dysfunctional. Ambra CCs that she is good with everybody on her tribe. The problem is that everybody is targeting everybody so, maybe, their tribe is more dysfunctional than the other tribe as they have a clear target if they lose.
Before the challenge, the host reveals that the Tribal Council they attended was fake. As such, Tiffany is now on Napilui and will be immune should Napilui head to Tribal Council tonight. He says that, unlike the first one, this one IS real.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!
Napilui wins!
On Leduaranor (Eric, Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Reed, Rowan, Tiffany, Zhian), Millie says that they tried their hardest and that is all that matters. Reed CCs that, no, Millie, that's not all that matters. What really matters is him not looking like a loser like the rest of the team. Reed and Devon are at the water well. Reed tells Devon that he's trying things out with Kamlyn but she isn't flirting back and he doesn't understand why. Devon says that, maybe, she isn't interested. Reed rolls his eyes and says that he wants a Hidden Immunity Idol and tells him to keep look out. Devon CCs that he has always kept his distance with Reed. He is allied with him but he doesn't trust him. Josie is telling Zhian that she does not trust Devon and, at least, Eric did very well in the challenge. Josie CCs that there is something off about how Devon performed in the challenge. Zhian agrees and says that, while he sees Devon as trustworthy, he made a few glaring mistakes, although he shouldn't the only one to blame. Josie agrees with that. Later, in the shelter, Gabby asks Zhian for an alliance as they both have channels. Zhian agrees to that. Rowan and Kamlyn talk in the water. She says that she is starting to get creeped out by Reed as he's been making subtle passes at her and she's been trying to ignore it. Rowan tells her to talk to him about it. Kamlyn says that she has on multiple occasions and he won't stop. She says that she feels uncomfortable. Rowan CCs that Reed needs to take a hint because Kamlyn shouldn't feel uncomfortable like this. Rowan talks to Reed alone by the water well. He asks Reed about Kamlyn. Reed says that she's playing had to get, which is annoying, but he's fine with it. Rowan wonders if Kamlyn may not be interested but Reed says that he's "Reed Mitchell Campos" and that means that there is no way she wouldn't be interested. Rowan tells Reed that, if she isn't okay with him, it may be best to back off. Reed gets angry and starts to yell at him. Rowan tries to, calmly, talk to him, but Reed starts getting personal with him. Reed says that, if he isn't careful, he could be the next one to go after Eric. Later on, Rowan gathers Kamlyn, Devon, and Gabby and tells him about his conversation with Reed. He suggests that they turn the tables, CCing that it would bring him a lot of delight to see Reed leave. Kamlyn CCs that she has told him no multiple times. She has even sat him down and gave him her reasoning. Nothing works! Devon CCs that he is actually infuriated that Kamlyn is in this position because of Reed. Gabby CCs that Reed is gone for sure.
At Tribal Council (DAY 5), Eric apologizes about his lies and says that he wants another chance. Reed says that, if Eric isn't going to go, there are, only, a couple other options. Rowan brings up Reed's self-centeredness. Kamlyn tells Reed that she has said no multiple times. Reed says that Kamlyn is playing hard to get. Kamlyn, getting louder, says that she is NOT. Cornilio tells Reed that Kamlyn is making herself clear. Reed says that he is "Reed Mitchell Campos", meaning that he gets what he wants and it is only a matter of time before Kamlyn understands that. Cornilio says that, if he doesn't want to listen, he'll have to leave. He says that nobody should feel uncomfortable just because a man wants to have his way with a woman. It's clear that he wasn't fit to play this game and tells him to leave. Reed is officially ejected.

Episode 2
(TITLE)
On Leduaranor (Eric, Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Reed, Rowan, Zhian), as they head back to camp, Millie CCs that she was not expecting her first or second Tribal Council to go like that. It was horrible how Reed was trying to justify himself. Good riddance. At camp, Rowan says that what happened was downright horrible. If there are any more Reeds on the tribe, they should just leave now. He CCs that he is furious about Reed but just so relieved that he is gone. He can only imagine how happy Kamlyn must feel. Zhian asks Kamlyn if she is alright. She says that she is and thanks them, CCing that no woman should have to go through this at all.
OPENING CREDITS!!!
In the morning, Josie asks about Kamlyn's life. Kamlyn says that her parents were mechanics so she followed their footsteps. She also says that she has no regrets as she loves her job. Kamlyn apologizes for talking so much game and CCs that she's been a gamebot for the last couple days, which hasn't helped her. Kamlyn says that she went through a pretty tough break-up. Josie asks if she broke his legs. Kamlyn gives her a very surprised face and then says that she didn't. Kamlyn asks Josie if she's broken any legs. Josie says that, at the height of the moment, she's wanted to as her exes all used her for her money and cheated on her. Kamlyn hugs Josie and says that she can relate and, that, there are a lot of assholes in the world. Josie says that, thankfully, she found Mr. Right aka Mr. Herrod and that she has been married for three years now. She says that she knows Kamlyn will find somebody amazing for her. Josie CCs that she loved that she was able to really get to know Kamlyn.
On Napilui (Ambra, Angie, Brandi, Dean, Enrico, Kaye, Kole, Rio, Saahira, Taarif, Tiffany), Tiffany CCs that everybody was, initially, shocked when she was switched over but, thankfully, she has been slowly integrating. In the shelter, Tiffany tells Kaye, Enrico, Kole, Rio and Saahira about how she had troubles adjusting to adulthood due to her upbringing. She says that she wasn't taught everything she should've but she is slowly learning things. Kaye says that these things take time, especially if you aren't prepared. Kaye CCs that Tiffany is 29. What sort of upbringing did she have? A part of her wants to ask but it's none of her business. Brandi is telling Ambra, by the beach, that she sees them going far. Ambra says the same thing and says that she trusts her. Brandi CCs that she's stringing along Ambra, Angie, and Enrico and she's loving it. She says that the only person who she is considering a real final 2 with is Dean. She says that there is something about Dean that she can respect. She then notices how condescending she is sounding. Brandi and Dean are at the water well together. Brandi tells Dean that they have a lot of work ahead of them before they reach the Final 2. Dean agrees and says that, in the end, he only trusts her. Dean CCs that the only person he is certain that won't backstab him is Brandi but, just in case, he'll keep his guard up. Brandi CCs that she is ready to take over this tribe and the game. Her goal is to be a bigger mastermind than Renata and, much like Renata, she'll send home anybody who catches on and play under the radar. Ambra and Angie are in the water talking about journalism again. Angie brings up that "Angie" is short for "Angelique" but a lot of people have tried to tell her that "no, it's short for Angela". Ambra says that it's weird for people to get so defensive over something so dumb. Ambra then comments that Angelique is a really nice name. Angie says the same thing about Ambra. Angie says that she feels unsure about Dean and Kole as they seem to be getting closer. Ambra says that she hasn't noticed. Angie thinks that they need to be careful as Dean comes across as very intelligent and Kole could be the biggest physical threat in the merge. Ambra agrees. Angie CCs that she grew up in a family of analysts. Financial analysts, marketing analysts, etc. So, it's hard for her to not be perceptive of things that may or may not seem off. At least she knows one thing for sure: she can trust Ambra, hopefully. Kole and Saahira are in the shelter. Saahira says that Kole's determination is very respectable. Kole thanks her. Saahira asks him who he is unsure of. Kole says that he is unsure of Angie and doesn't trust her. He CCs that Angie is nice and all but she has this aura about her that doesn't gel with his. Saahira says that she'd like to target Angie and then Kaye as there is something about her that she doesn't trust. Kole agrees. Ambra and Taarif are talking at the water well. Taarif says that he feels like he can only trust her and Angie. Ambra feels the same way. Taarif says that he trusts Dean the least as he is always super serious and looks like he's thinking about something all the time. Ambra says that Dean needs to lighten up a bit more. Taarif CCs that Ambra and Angie is his preferred Final 3. He can't trust anybody else on the tribe, especially Dean who doesn't smile most of the time.
On Leduaranor (Eric, Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Reed, Rowan, Zhian), everybody is in the shelter. Rowan talks about how he was adopted at he age of sixteen by his closest friend's family. He says that his name was changed to Rowan but his birth name was Gabriel Henriques. He says that his mom, who competed on Season 11, was absolutely horrible and he found himself hiding at his closest friend's house on numerous occasions until they decided to call child services and then offered to take me in. Rowan CCs that his life has been so much better since the adoption and a part of him felt the need to share his story to the rest of the tribe. Josie thanks Rowan for sharing the story and she feels like, after what he's been through, a group hug should be nice. Rowan accepts and the tribe all shares a group hug. Josie CCs that she has a daughter that she cares about so much so to hear that Rowan wasn't given that luxury breaks her heart. Rowan asks Josie about her restaurant. Josie says that the restaurant, originally, belonged to her boss as she used to work there. However, he lost interest after the sales weren't coming in and tried to close it. However, she opted to buy the restaurant from him instead and, due to her working there the longest out of all of the current employees, she got it for a low price. Since then, she's done her best to rebuild the restaurant and, now, it's doing great. Everybody gives her a round of applause. Josie CCs that nobody should underestimate the determination of Josetta Herrod.
LEDUARANOR wins Reward: Comfort Items and a Chicken!
On Leduaranor (Eric, Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Reed, Rowan, Zhian), Gabby CCs that they really needed that win and she is so glad that they won something. Josie is unsure about killing the chicken. Devon says that he understands as he was on a farm until he was 14 but, also, because he was on a farm until he was 14, he is used to what he saw. He says that he will kill the chicken if nobody else will. Josie excuses herself and says that she can't watch. Devon snaps the chickens neck and Gabby starts to cook it. Zhian follows Josie and asks if she's alright. Josie says that she is and she accepts it but she could not witness it. Zhian says that that's alright. Josie CCs that it is a part of the game so she accepted it. Maybe if she served chicken at her restaurant, she would be used to that.
On Napilui (Ambra, Angie, Brandi, Dean, Enrico, Kaye, Kole, Rio, Saahira, Taarif, Tiffany), Tiffany and Rio are in the shelter. Rio says that a part of him really trusts her. Tiffany says that she's glad and says the same. He CCs that they have a lot in common and generally get along. So, he's glad that she switched over to his tribe. Rio says that Kole seems to be stubborn, Saahira and Dean aren't exactly positive people to be around, and Ambra, Angie and Brandi seem a lot smarter than they let on. Tiffany says that she hasn't noticed. He CCs that Ambra and Brandi talk a lot so it is pretty obvious that those two are allied. Brandi and Dean also seem to be close. He says that he sees how people interact with each-other so he feels like Ambra and Brandi may be the least trustworthy. Like the type that could be a strong duo. Tiffany CCs that strategy is not her thing. She trying to adapt but it's really not her thing. Thankfully, Rio is here to clue her into the tribe dynamics.
On Leduaranor (Eric, Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Reed, Rowan, Zhian), Zhian and Millie are alone in the shelter. Zhian says that he has been married to Aarifa (Taaj) for thirteen years now and they have one twelve year old son (Aqeel) and two daughters, ten (Shadhaa) and seven (Hasana) respectively. Millie says that her children are 26 (Brendon), 24 (Cameron), 20 (Iliana) and 18 (Rayna). She has been married to her husband, Ben Lauri, for 28 years! Zhian CCs that it is really nice for Millie and him to bond over being parents. Millie CCs that this was a really good bonding moment for them. She can see them going far.
On Napilui (Ambra, Angie, Brandi, Dean, Enrico, Kaye, Kole, Rio, Saahira, Taarif, Tiffany), Ambra and Taarif are talking in the shelter. Taarif asks Ambra if it's alright to trust Brandi. Ambra says that Brandi seems to be genuine with her and she has not, once, brought up his name before. Taarif is grateful and says that he doesn't know who to target, exactly, in the tribe, as he feels like he's gotten along with everybody. Taarif CCs that he has some doubts about people but it's far too early to play hard so he'll sit back and go along with what Ambra wants. Down the road, it'll become clear what his path is. Ambra CCs that she is choosing to trust Brandi and Taarif with her game. Enrico and Kole are talking by the water well. Enrico is pretty sarcastic and tells some jokes. Kole laughs and comments on how cringey the jokes are. Enrico says that he remembers when some random lady showed up at his hotel room door, mistaking him for somebody she was trying to hook up with. Kole asks if she was hot. Enrico says her personality wasn't. He says that she was demanding taxi fare and was so insistent that it was him. He said he had the biggest urge to play along but he didn't and she wasn't his type anyway. Eventually, she left and threatened to call the cops for wasting her time. Kole comments on how insane that must've been. Kole asks Enrico if he can trust Brandi. Enrico says that Brandi seems trustworthy. Enrico CCs that Kole is a great guy. He hopes to go far with him. As for Brandi, he isn't sure yet. Kole says that he is hoping to turn the tides against Angie soon. When Enrico asks why, Kole says that he's been hearing that Angie is coming after him. Kole CCs that Dean told him a couple days ago that Angie was throwing his name around so he plans to strike first.
NAPALUI wins Immunity! A new twist is implemented that gives Napilui the opportunity to "silence" one person from Leduaranor, meaning that they can't vote in the upcoming Tribal Council. They choose Devon, who is understanding, although confused.
On Leduaranor (Eric, Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Reed, Rowan, Zhian), Millie CCs that they lost Immunity AGAIN! Thankfully, she is in an alliance with Devon and Rowan. Hopefully, they have a good idea of what should happen tonight. A part of her wants to be under the radar. In the shelter, Millie, Devon and Rowan discuss the vote. Rowan says that, as of right now, the names floating around are Devon, Gabby and Josie. Despite Eric lying, he thinks that the target is so big on his back, he'll fade into the shadows. Rowan CCs that nothing about Eric is trustworthy and the guy is only here for fame. Let tonight be an easy vote and move on. Devon wonders if Eric being too easy of a vote will result in him being used as a vote. Devon CCs that he has heard Gabby and Josie's name and he was informed by Millie that his name is going around as well. This isn't looking good. Josie and Kamlyn are in the water. Kamlyn CCs that she is making it her mission to get Devon Serra out. He is a huge threat! Kamlyn says that this is their night to take him out as he can't even vote! Josie says that she is good with that ... but feels like closer to the merge would be better since he is one of their better physical competitors. Josie CCs that she understands that Devon Serra is a threat but it is too soon. Rowan and Zhian are at the water well. Zhian says that Gabby is a really big wildcard in the game and he unsure of where her head is at. Rowan says that, yeah, Gabby can be pretty suspicious at times but she is also honest about herself. He CCs that he is making it his mission to take Eric out. People are focusing on other targets and that is fine but he can't trust a number that constantly lies. Rowan says that Eric lied constantly until he was cornered. Plus, everything is always about him. So, if he (Zhian) makes a plan and Eric doesn't like it, he may flip it just because he can't take credit. Zhian says that Rowan brings up a really good point. Zhian CCs that he has two options: campaign to get a wildcard out or take out somebody who will never be honest to him. Eric is with Gabby and Millie in the shelter. Millie CCs that she doesn't know where Eric and Gabby's heads are at. They are, no doubt, the two most suspicious people in the tribe. Eric constantly lies and Gabby gives half responses. She doesn't really contribute to strategic conversations and, apparently, she is not the only one on the tribe to experience that. Kamlyn CCs that she really doesn't trust Gabby. Devon CCs that trying to get an answer out of Gabby is slowly not worth the effort. He feels like she would rather not be allied with him. Josie CCs that Gabby is nice and all but she doesn't really like to talk strategy at all, which worries her a bit. Gabby asks Millie who she plans to vote for. Millie says that she doesn't know yet as the first two "Tribals" were insane. Eric and Gabby agree. Eric CCs that it doesn't seem like Gabby and Millie would vote for him. Maybe he can suggest a target. Eric says that it would be good for them to go for Zhian. The guy is a vlogger and is already well-known. Gabby CCs that Eric's response was ... typical. Zhian's more famous than me so vote him out. Her and Sarah own a gaming channel. When Zhian goes, does that mean she is next? What about Devon and Enrico, who were on another show before this? Gabby, visibly annoyed, tells Eric that, if he can target somebody without mentioning fame, she'll consider it. It is really annoying when all of his reasons for targeting people seem to come from "they're famous and they're famous." What about actual threats? Gabby gets up and leaves. Millie tells Eric that she is right, CCing that there is no doubt in her mind that Rowan was right.
At Tribal Council, Cornilio says that there is no twist tonight. If you are out, you are out. Gabby and Rowan argue for Eric to be voted out while Eric tries to campaign for Zhian to be voted out for being a vlogger.

AT THE TRIBAL (DAY 7), THE VOTES GO AS SUCH:

Eric votes for Gabby
Devon can not vote but was able to attend Tribal Council.
Gabby votes for Eric
Josie votes for Eric
Kamlyn votes for Eric
Millie votes for Eric
Rowan votes for Eric
Zhian votes for Eric

With a vote of 6-1 ... Eric is the first person officially voted out!

(TITLE)
On Leduaranor (Eric, Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Rowan, Zhian), as they head back to camp, Gabby CCs that she is relieved that Eric is gone. Zhian CCs that Eric was very untrustworthy so the vote was a no-brainer for him. Devon, publicly, apologizes for his performance and says that he will try his best to improve. Everybody lets him know that they don't hold it against him. Devon is grateful and CCs that he really needs to step up.
Opening Credits
In the morning, Josie and Kamlyn are in the shelter. Kamlyn says that they should try and form a women's alliance as they outnumber the men 4-3. Kamlyn CCs that this is the best plan moving forward. Josie tells Kamlyn that she is up for it if they can get Gabby and Millie on board. Kamlyn is talking to Gabby on the beach and tells her that she is thinking of an all-women alliance. Gabby is perfectly fine with this. Kamlyn talks to Millie about an all women alliance. Millie says that she is good with that. Kamlyn CCs that she has made a very powerful alliance that can take her very, very far in the game. Kamlyn is in the shelter with Zhian. She tells him that she hasn't found an idol but she would love to find one. Zhian says that he feels the same way. Later, Kamlyn tells Josie and Gabby that Zhian is out looking for an idol right now and they need to find it. Elsewhere, Zhian is still relaxing in the shelter. Gabby CCs that Kamlyn is starting to play really hard and she is unsure how to feel.
On Napilui (Ambra, Angie, Brandi, Dean, Enrico, Kaye, Kole, Rio, Saahira, Taarif, Tiffany), there is a small montage of Tiffany giving her tribemates encouraging words. Saahira CCs that she finds herself really trusting Tiffany a lot. Angie CCs that Tiffany is out working her social game and it is really working because she feels a lot of trust towards her. Tiffany CCs that a lot of people could call it strategy but this is who she is. As she knows she won't do well strategically, she wants to make bonds with everybody. In the shelter, Rio tells Kole that the two of them should work together. Kole agrees and says that he trusts him. Rio says that it's them until the end. Rio CCs that as dumb as this sounds, he is being genuine. His strategy is to have a shield in front of him. If he can get influence, he can try and argue strategy over comp wins at the end. Rio tells Kole that the two of them are good in challenges and that is very important in the early game. Kole agrees. Ambra, Angie and Brandi are all in the water. Angie says that, if they had to vote one person out right now, she would either go for Saahira due to a lack of trust or Enrico because of how daring he is. Ambra and Brandi agree. Brandi says that she would go for Enrico first, followed by Saahira, then Rio. Ambra says that she is fine with that. Angie CCs that she doesn't actually have a preferred boot order but she wanted to get Ambra and Brandi to reveal theirs. However, it seems like Brandi is more of an open book. She wonders why Rio. Angie says that Kole is the best physical competitor on their tribe so having him around ensures Immunity. Brandi says that, around the Final 14, they should take him out so he doesn't make it to the merge. Ambra and Angie agree. Ambra CCs that she is going along with whatever plan they hatch right now. She plans to strike closer to the merge.
In the shelter, Kamlyn tells Gabby that the four of them should go after Devon first, followed by Rowan, then Zhian. Kamlyn CCs that the women's alliance is all set. She has the next three boots picked out and she is confident about it. They don't have an official name for the alliance but they don't need one right now. Later, Gabby talks to Millie at the water well that Kamlyn is being very bossy about the alliance. Millie says that Kamlyn has told her the "boot order" and that she doesn't want it changed. Gabby is thinking of flaking on the alliance and is considering trying to get Kamlyn out. Millie says that she understands why. Gabby CCs that she does NOT trust Kamlyn at all. She doesn't trust anybody in the game who wants to be a dictator in the game.
Leduaranor wins Reward: Comfort Items and a Chicken!
On Leduaranor, Devon pulls Gabby aside and apologizes for his poor performance in the previous challenge. He admits that he felt a lot of pressure to perform well and let his nerves get the best of him. Gabby assures him that they're not holding it against him and that everyone has bad days. She encourages him to stay focused and work hard to make up for it in the next challenge. Devon CCs that he really needs to step it up or he is gone.
On Napilui, Enrico, Saahira, and Taarif are off to the side, strategizing about their positions in the tribe. Enrico admits that he's worried he could be seen as a liability in challenges, while Saahira is concerned that her quiet demeanor could make her an easy target. Enrico CCs that the three of them are worried about being in the bottom so meeting like this is very useful. Taarif suggests that they try to form an alliance to protect themselves, and the three of them agree to work together. Taarif CCs that he needs the extra security.
On Leduaranor, Zhian and Josie are out looking for firewood when Zhian spots a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol. He CCs that, as a superfan, he is very lucky to find this. He quickly pockets it and suggests to Josie that they keep it a secret for now. They discuss who they should share the idol with if they find it, and agree that it should be someone they trust completely like Millie. Millie is off on her own, feeling overwhelmed by all the strategizing going on around her. She CCs that she's not sure who to trust and is worried that she could become a target if she doesn't align with the right people. She decides to focus on building relationships with everyone in the tribe, hoping that it will help her stay off the chopping block.
Cornilio Roquez reveals that the winning tribe can silence one tribe member from the losing tribe, meaning that tribe member will not be able to vote at Tribal Council.

Ledraranor wins Immunity!
They choose to silence ... Kaye.
On Napilui, Kaye CCs that she is so angry right now. Saahira CCs that she messed up far too much and she is afraid that she is going to go home tonight. Saahira is talking with Brandi alone in the shelter. She says that she knows she messed up but she wants to stay as she knows that this mess up was just a one time thing. Saahira CCs that she is observant enough to know that Brandi is getting a lot of pull in the tribe. So, her first instinct is to try and convince Brandi to keep her. Brandi CCs that Saahira approaching her is fantastic as that is a sign that the tribe is trusting her, which they shouldn't. She'll backstab anybody in the game to get at the prize. Saahira says that Kaye can't vote so, perhaps, they could vote her off but she will do whatever Brandi wants. Brandi is grateful and feels like she can trust her, unlike other people in the tribe. Saahira appreciates it and CCs that it's all about appeasing Brandi's ego. Brandi CCs that she doesn't want to feel too confident in this game but somebody coming to her like this makes her feel a little powerful. Dean and Kole are in the shelter, alone. Kole says that he is up for anything. Dean says the same and, that, he'll talk with some people and see what they want to do. He says that his goal is to remain in the majority. Kole feels the same way. Dean CCs that he wants Kole out but it is too soon to strike. Right now, he and Brandi hope to get a stable majority alliance going. Dean and Brandi talk where Brandi says that the people at the bottom of her totem pole are Taarif, Enrico, and Kaye. She says that Saahira brought up Kaye's name since she can't vote. Dean says that all three of them are wildcards. Brandi says that Taarif sketches her out as he never gives her any information. Dean says that he feels the same way. Brandi CCs that her goal is to take out the one person who will get in her way the most. Ambra and Brandi are talking. When Brandi brings up Taarif's name as she doesn't know if she can trust him, Ambra says that she knows she can trust Taarif and Brandi can trust her word on that. Brandi CCs that she will backstab whoever in this game. If she sends home Taarif, she knows Ambra won't like that but, if she can pull it off, it's something good for her in the long-run. Brandi asks if they are close. Ambra says they aren't but she's spoken with him more than a few times and he'll vote their way. Brandi says that she trusts her word and, due to her performance, it'll be best if they pile on votes for Saahira. Ambra says that she'll let Taarif know. Brandi CCs that she has no use for somebody in the game who she can't fully trust. Brandi is talking to Saahira alone again. Brandi says that they may have another target who will get more votes than Kaye. Saahira CCs that there is hope for her yet. Ambra and Taarif are alone in the shelter. Ambra tells Taarif that Brandi wants Saahira out. Taarif says that Saahira isn't a very talkative person so he is good with that. He CCs that he doesn't trust Brandi but she feels as if she wouldn't strike at them this early as that would be a very stupid move. Enrico, Saahira and Taarif are in the shelter. Enrico says that the two of them are names being brought up but he would rather go after somebody else and them being 3 votes would be very good towards that plan. Enrico suggests Rio. Saahira and Taarif are, perfectly, good with this plan. Enrico CCs that he will try and help his alliance as much as he can. Dean is with Kole at the water well and tells him that the vote is Saahira this round but, next round, they need to go after Angie. Kole asks why and he says that Angie wants him (Kole) out and he (D) trusts him. Kole CCs that he can't believe Angie wants him out. This makes him want to target Angie NOW. Dean CCs that he and Brandi decided that the information needed to spread a bit. Ambra and Taarif are in the shelter. Ambra says that, as it stands, the plan is Saahira but a part of her finds Kole to be very arrogant. Taarif says that Kole is good for the tribe but does feel like he is a wildcard. Taarif CCs that he doesn't know who will be leaving tonight but he does know that it'll be between Saahira, Kole and maybe Kaye if people want to vote out somebody who can't vote. Ambra says that she spoke to Brandi earlier and she is good for Saahira or Kole. Apparently, Angie really wants Kole out so that is a number if they vote for him. Taarif says that he is still unsure about Brandi but, if one of those two go tonight, then he'll trust her for sure. Ambra CCs that who will go will depend on the discussion at Tribal Council. A part of her is leaning towards Saahira due to Kole's challenge prowess but she can't keep somebody in the game who may actively work against her, especially in the pre-merge.
At Tribal Council, Kaye admits to being very pissed off at the other tribe. Saahira says that her mistake will only be a one time thing and she'll try even harder in the next challenge. Kole calls out Angie for coming after him, which Angie is confused about and asks him to say the names of the people who told him that. Kole then calls out Dean, who denies it and says that he heard that from Enrico, who also denies saying anything. Kole says that he doesn't know if it was Enrico and Dean who is stirring trouble. Enrico says that he understands the doubt but he felt like they were on good terms enough that Kole would know that he wouldn't say that. Kole says that, at this point, he is choosing to believe Enrico and says that Dean needs to go. Dean says that there are bigger targets in front of him and he can't help it if Kole is too paranoid to play the game properly. As people go to vote, Ambra whispers "Vote Kole" to Taarif. Taarif nods.

When a 3-way tie happens, Brandi quickly tells people that Kole is the strongest member on their tribe and they need him for the challenges. That and Dean is also really good for them. Ambra tells Brandi that Dean and Taarif make no sense to her and, openly, says that Kole's too much of a wildcard to her. Kole is shocked. Taarif tells Brandi to trust him.

Taarif is voted out in the re-vote.

Episode 4
(TITLE)
On Napilui (Ambra, Angie, Brandi, Dean, Enrico, Kaye, Kole, Rio, Saahira, Taarif, Tiffany), Ambra CCs that they had a plan and Taarif was even willing to fully trust Brandi after the vote despite her wishy-washiness. At this point, she knows that Brandi's word means s***. At camp, Ambra asks Brandi if she is loyal to anybody. Brandi asks Ambra to clarify. Brandi CCs that, at Tribal Council, she was successful in taking Taarif out. In the end, he would be more loyal to Ambra than to her and she can't let Ambra be in the position that she wants to be in. In the end, it's all about being at the top. Ambra tells Brandi that they had a plan. Saahira says that she is happy it didn't work out. Ambra tells Saahira that Brandi, specifically, said HER name. On top of that, Saahira wasn't even the plan in the end! Kole CCs that, whatever is going on, he is glad that he is not involved. A part of him wishes that he had popcorn. Rio CCs that it appears that Brandi, Taarif, Dean, Angie and Ambra had a solid plan to vote out Kole, his closest ally. Instead, Taarif went. On one hand, he is happy that Kole is here but, on the other, Brandi openly betraying multiple people doesn't help him trust her. Ambra asks the tribe how many of them are in an alliance with Brandi and, especially, Final alliances. Angie, Enrico, Kaye, Tiffany and Saahira raise their hands. Tiffany CCs that she put a lot in trust in Brandi and voted for Kole in Round 1 and then Taarif in Round 2 after she whispered his name to her. She can appreciate the chaos but wonders if she could be a casualty of it. Kole guesses that Brandi's plan was to take him or Dean out next. Ambra says that she doesn't know who was going to go out next but it sure wasn't going to be Dean. Enrico agrees and says that he's seen Dean and Brandi talk enough that they could've been in an alliance so it makes no sense that he didn't raise his hand. Enrico CCs that, to him, Brandi and Dean have been an obvious duo and it really bugs him that nobody else has been seeing that. At least with Angie and Taarif, if they were a duo, they barely hung out with each-other. Brandi CCs that, in one fell swoop, her game is crumbling before her eyes. Ambra tells Brandi that she was caught playing all sides. Brandi tells Ambra that she was playing the game. Ambra tells her that it doesn't matter if you're playing the game if you get caught. Brandi says that Ambra is just mad that her closest ally just left. Dean CCs that Ambra just exposed Brandi and he doesn't know how to react.
Opening Credits
On Leduaranor (Devon, Gabby, Josie, Kamlyn, Millie, Rowan, Zhian), Devon, Josie, and Zhian are in the shelter. Josie says that she met her husband, Christian, at a bar. She comments on how she used to party a lot when she was younger. She says that Christian kept getting the bartenders to give her water even though she was used to having hangovers. To her, it was a very nice gesture and, while she was rude at first and told him that she could take care of herself, she, later, apologized. They ended up seeing eachother again at the same bar the following week and they got to talking. After a couple of months, he asked her out and the rest is history. She even said that she cut down on the drinking a lot after they started dating. Josie CCs that she owes a lot to her fantasic husband and he hopes that he is proud of her in this game. Devon and Zhian both comment on the story, showing their approval. Devon CCs that it is amazing that Josie found a man like her. Later, in the water, Devon, Rowan and Zhian are talking. Devon says that he loves sci-fi and fantasy and has been tabletop roleplaying for years. He knew that he wanted to become an author for the longest time and, now, he's a published novelist. Rowan and Zhian congratulate him. Devon thanks them and says that he's glad he had the support he had and hopes that other aspiring authors can find the support they need to make it far. Devon CCs that he really is happy with where he is in his life.
On Napilui, Brandi is in the shelter with Dean, Enrico and Angie. Brandi CCs that last night was both good for her and bad for her. She could have waited a bit before getting rid of Taarif. She says that, a part of her wants Ambra out after what happened. Angie says that Brandi backstabbed her so she doubts there is any way to fix what happened. Ambra is at the waterwell with Tiffany. Tiffany CCs that last night was insane. She grew up loving the show and now she is experiencing the craziness firsthand. Tiffany says that she doesn't know what to trust after what happened last night. Ambra says that Saahira may side with Brandi due to her targeting Taarif as opposed to her. Tiffany wonders who Brandi will target next. Ambra says that she (Ambra) is the most likely candidate, followed by her (Tiffany). Tiffany CCs that she would rather not see Ambra leave after what happened. Tiffany says that she is loyal to Ambra so, even though she lost Taarif, she would like to be her new number two. Ambra says that she would really appreciate that. Ambra CCs that Tiffany is both a fantastic person and a fantasic ally.
Everybody gathers at the Challenge Arena where the host tells them that, before they do the Reward Challenge, he has an offer. Should anybody step forward, they will be able to mutiny to the other tribe. He will be offering that every Round until the merge starts. Tiffany CCs that she didn't know where she stood before but she needs to stay on her tribe to help Ambra out. Rio CCs that his tribe is chaotic but he feels like he is in a really good spot right now. Gabby CCs that she really wants to mutiny as she doesn't know if she feels safe on this tribe. After all, she WAS on the bottom. Saahira CCs that she could easily be the next person out and she could mutiny to give herself another chance. On the other hand, she has some good allies on the tribe.

After a minute, nobody mutinies.

Cornilio tells them that every Reward before the merge will have a clue that could lead one person towards a very special power.

Leduaranor wins Reward (a barbecue)!
On Leduaranor, Josie comments on how great the food tastes. Josie CCs that it is amazing to have actual food! Devon comments that, if the restaurateur is saying it's great, it must be fantastic. Rowan says that everybody should be proud of themselves for winning this. He CCs that he is so proud of his tribe for what they did today. They really deserved a reward like this. Kamlyn decides to try finding the idol, CCing that she feels good in her alliance but she needs insurance. She finds the idol, CCing that she knew she could find it!
On Napilui, Enrico is talking to Kaye about the time he and his friends decided to visit an abandoned hospital on the outskirts of town. Kaye says that she would not be able to handle that. Enrico says that it was such a scary experience and he wouldn't do it again but, at least, he did it. Enrico CCs that he has lived a pretty insane life with a lot of really fun experiences. He loves to try new things as well as seeking thrills. He said that he didn't believe in ghosts beforehand but he couldn't help but be paranoid the entire time. He says that, thinking about it now, he'd do it again. Kaye says that he's nuts. Enrico laughs and asks Kaye if she's been through a scary experience. Kaye CCs that she has but it isn't like Enrico's experience. It's been about sixteen years so she feels like she can tell her story now. Kaye says that she was under witness protection for a couple of years as she was targeted for her, potentially, squealing, even though she didn't. Enrico CCs that he is absolutely shocked. Enrico asks what happened. Kaye says that she is related to Deborah and Margherita Liguori. Enrico thinks he's heard of them and thinks that they were part of a crime family or something. Kaye says that, while she is fine with her family now, back then nobody trusted her and thought that she helped expose them. Kaye CCs that the experience was traumatizing. She is glad that she is good with some of her family but a lot of what happened felt out of the blue. She says that she was at a friend's over the weekend and, next thing she knew, her mother, Deborah, and her grandmother, Margherita or "Margie", were arrested. She changed her name and moved a couple of times before she found herself in Cunzava, where she met her husband, Milo. Enrico says that he couldn't imagine what it was like to go through that. Kaye says that she was fine but she had two scared children with her. Kaye CCs that she is so glad that things are normal now. She doesn't want her children to go through the same experience ever again. She has twins and they were five when all this happened. Elsewhere, Brandi is talking to Saahira about targeting Ambra next since she is one of the biggest wildcards. Saahira wonders if Ambra was telling the truth. Brandi CCs that they need to take the shot at this point. Although, Saahira doubting her worries her. At this point, she doesn't know if she is at the bottom.Brandi tells Saahira that she did not bring up her name at all and says that they targeted Taarif, who was close to Ambra so, naturally, Ambra felt like she was on the bottom and tried to throw somebody under the bus. Brandi says that she will expose Ambra. Saahira CCs that, maybe, Brandi is telling the truth. In front of the tribe, Brandi asks Ambra if SHE was loyal to anybody but Taarif. She says that she accused HER of being disloyal but Taarif was, no doubt, her Final 2. Ambra CCs that she was anticipating this. A part of her knew that Brandi would try something to take the target off of herself. Ambra asks Brandi if she was jealous and believed that her and Taarif were that close. Brandi asks for clarification. Ambra says that she brought up that Taarif was trustworthy and, somehow, in Brandi's mind, that meant that her and Taarif were lovers or something. She accuses Brandi of being a paranoid mess that is, also, a control freak when things don't go her way. Enrico CCs that he is finding all of this to be very entertaining. Whatever keeps any target off his back. Ambra CCs that Brandi wants control and she will not give it to her. Brandi says that Ambra is quick to throw people under the bus when things don't go her way. Ambra says that she may have thrown Brandi under the bus but Brandi shot herself in the foot by believing that she had everybody in her pocket. She says that Saahira deserved to know that Brandi threw her under the bus. Brandi tells everybody that Ambra can't be trusted and walks away. Brandi CCs that nobody won that argument. Not her, not Ambra, not the water, not the shelter. Nobody.
On Leduaranor, Devon approaches Gabby and compliments her strategic mindset, acknowledging her expertise in the game. He suggests they work together to navigate the dynamics of the tribe. Devon CCs that he needs to ensure his safety in the game and, right now, Gabby is somebody who he isn't sure about. Gabby is flattered by the recognition and accepts, saying that she thinks they would work together fine. She CCs that Devon confuses her sometimes but he seems trustworthy. Later, Millie strikes up a conversation with Gabby, expressing genuine interest in getting to know her better. Gabby CCs that she feels really good in the game for the first time. In the shelter, Zhain tells Gabby that, out of everybody, he may trust her and Millie the most. Zhian CCs that he has doubted Gabby at times but they have a special connection with the both of them being content creators. He'd like to see one of them win. Gabby tells him that he and Millie are the friendliest people on the tribe. Gabby CCs that Millie is so useful around camp. Millie is seen going out of her way to help around camp, offering assistance with various tasks such as firewood collection and food preparation. Rowan CCs that everybody really likes Millie. She is a friendly face. You can't help but feel calm around her. Millie is cooking food. Millie CCs that her main strategy is to be useful. If people vote her out, there goes one of the best helpers--if not THEE best helper--in the tribe.
Leduaranor wins Immunity! They choose to silence Enrico!
Enrico CCs that he was silenced by the other tribe. He won't take it personally but he knows that his vote could easily be a crucial one. Dean CCs that losing Immunity is a double edged sword. He feels like it'll be Ambra or Brandi tonight since the tribe is split in half. Rio is walking with Dean. Dean says that the ones who lost them the challenge were Saahira and Kaye. Rio says that voting for one of them could be ideal. Rio CCs that Saahira and Kaye were almost done the puzzle so he doesn't necessarily blame them. The other tribe was just faster. Rio also says that it was a close call and, at least, the two of them were almost done. Dean says that the only other person who didn't do that well in the challenge is The Hatchet. Dean CCs that, despite Kole being a professional wrestler or whatever, he hasn't actually been the best in challenges but people look at his physique like he is the best competitor on the tribe. Elsewhere, in the shelter, Brandi CCs that it's time for Ambra to go. Brandi is talking with Tiffany, Saahira, Angie and Kaye. She says that people are more likely to blame Saahira and Kaye for the challenge but it was close and that isn't fair. Kaye CCs that, despite Brandi being Brandi, she is telling her what she wants to hear--despite the challenge, she isn't a target. Angie agrees with Brandi and says that going after Kole could be best. Brandi suggests Ambra as Ambra's tendency to start drama could easily be their downfall. Angie CCs that she isn't sure that targeting Ambra could be beneficial to her. Ambra is talking to Kole about targeting Dean as Brandi is a stronger competitor. Kole asks if she's alright with that, CCing that Ambra not wanting to go after Brandi makes him suspicious. Ambra says that Dean is weaker and he caused friction between him and Enrico so she feels like, if Kole wants to, she'll go for it. Kole says that he'll definitely consider it. Ambra CCs that this is her only chance to save herself. She needs people on her side. Brandi CCs that she can accept that she messed up bigtime thanks to her power trip and, now, she needs to protect herself. Angie talks with Kaye in the shelter and says that targeting Ambra and Brandi could be bad for them. Kaye asks why. Angie says that Ambra and Brandi will always target each-other so leaving them in the game could be very useful to keep the target off their backs. Kaye says that, on the other hand, if the other tribe is unified and they are still having drama in their tribe, they could be wiped out. Kaye CCs that she is still unsure about what she wants in the upcoming vote. Nothing is for certain. Angie CCs that she is determined to not vote for Ambra or Brandi no matter what tonight.
With a vote of 4-3-1 ... Dean is the third person officially voted out!

Episode 5
(TITLE)
On Napilui (Ambra, Angie, Brandi, Enrico, Kaye, Kole, Rio, Saahira, Tiffany), Brandi CCs that she is surprised she wasn't targeted. At camp, Brandi asks Ambra why Dean left and not her. Ambra tells Brandi that she was better at challenges. Brandi CCs that Dean Talley was her Final 2 and, now, she will do whatever it takes to get there without him since Ambra found a way to take him out.
In the morning, Tiffany walks into the forest, CCing that she plans to find herself a hidden immunity idol. By the water well, talks to Angie and Kaye about, potentially, going after Tiffany next. Unbeknownst to them, Tiffany is close by and overhears the conversation, CCing that she may be doomed if she is not careful.
On Leduaranor, Gabby and Josie are in the shelter. Gabby says that she's been married to Sarah for five years now. Josie congratulates her. Gabby thanks her and says that she can't imagine her life without her. She CCs that Sarah means the world to her and she wants to win this for the both of them. Gabby says that they started their gaming channel as a way to entertain others and to cheer up those who are feeling down. Josie CCs that she feels the closest to Gabby and trusts her the most out of everybody. She hopes that this isn't a ploy to backstab her later in the game after gaining her trust as that is how these games usually go. Gabby tells Josie that Kamlyn makes her feel uncomfortable as she is playing way too hard and has no problems calling people out. Josie says that, if she wasn't such a good physical competitor, she'd suggest that Kamlyn be voted out. Gabby wonders if soon will be the right time. Millie talks with Devon and tells him that she feels really good with him. She CCs that Devon isn't and hasn't been a threat to her. She refuses to vote him out. Devon thanks her. Millie says that she feels like she can say who she does and doesn't trust in the tribe. She says that Kamlyn, to her, is a massive wildcard. Devon agrees, CCing that Millie may be his closest ally in the game right now. They've gotten along well and talk strategy with each-other quite a bit.
On Napilui, Angie and Enrico are talking, alone, on the beach. Enrico talks about how he, accidentally, crashed a wedding and became best friends with the bride and groom. Angie CCs about how entertaining Enrico's stories are. Enrico asks Angie how long she's been a podcaster for. Angie says that she's been working for the company for a couple of years. She says that the entire team is so much fun to be around and it's been a fantastic experience so far. She says that they even get to play games early and she's met a lot of fantastic people in the video game industry. Enrico comments on how amazing that is. He then asks why she wanted to come out here. Angie says that she wanted to know what the experience was like as she's seen a couple of other seasons but she knows that the only way to experience it is to get on the show. Angie CCs that she can admit that it's been hard as they have little to nothing compared to life back on civilization and the drama is getting stale but, all in all, she's glad that she is getting the chance to see what it's really like. Enrico mentions that he is surprised that there is a lack of big alliances and then says that there is always a chance that there is and he isn't a part of it. Angie says that nobody approached her with a huge majority alliance so, if there is one, they could be on the bottom. Angie CCs that, with the tribe divisions, it's hard to tell where everybody stands. Are you Team Ambra? Are you Team Brandi? Are you a third party? She can only assume she is good with everybody. Enrico doubts that there is one as all of the fighting suggests that nobody trusts eachother enough to make one. Angie asks Enrico for an alliance, to which Enrico accepts. Enrico CCs that Angie has a good head on her shoulders and seems reliable so an alliance with her is a great idea. Kaye is talking to Kole in the shelter. Kole says that Dean going is amazing and he tried his best to not cheer out loud. Kaye says that Dean was a nice person and wouldn't have deserved that. He CCs that Dean was, to him, a rival. He says that Dean tried to cause friction between him and Enrico so, after that, he wanted him gone. Kaye says that Saahira is nice but she hasn't been able to connect with her much. Kole agrees and says that he isn't sure of who to target as there is always a chance of a tribe swap. Kaye says that this game is pretty insane and is much harder than she thought. She CCs that she is trying to remain calm and not get paranoid but it is really hard in this game.
At the Challenge Arena, Cornilio Roquez says that, as they see, there is no Reward. He says that he will give everybody one minute to decide if they want to mutiny. Saahira CCs that she is good with a lot of her tribe now so she isn't too worried. Tiffany CCs that Enrico, Angie and Kaye want her out. Three people could easily become the majority. Tiffany raises her hand and says that she overheard multiple people wanting her out so she would rather mutiny. Ambra is the most shocked. Kole CCs that a part of him wants to as he doesn't like his tribe. Kole then steps forward and says that he would rather be with a more competent tribe. Rio looks pissed and CCs that his closest ally flat out betrayed him with this move.
On Leduaranor, Gabby welcomes both Tiffany and Kole to the tribe! She CCs that the more the merrier for her. They all give them a small tour of the camp. Kamlyn CCs that Tiffany is somebody she really wanted to work with and, thankfully, she can prove that to her as she didn't vote for her on Day 3! Josie CCs that everybody except for Kamlyn voted for Tiffany to go. This is a little awkward for her. In the shelter, Kole says that Ambra and Brandi have been fighting nonstop and took out each-others' closest allies. Rowan CCs that he didn't expect Kole to, immediately, share secrets. That makes him a little hesistant. He enjoys the info but he'd rather not have Kole do that to them if he mutinies back. In the water, Rowan tells Gabby and Zhian to be careful and not reveal anything to Kole and Tiffany as one of them could be a spy. Zhian CCs that Rowan brings up a really good point. Perhaps one of them should go. At the water well, Rowan asks Devon's opinion on Zhian. Devon says that Zhian is super nice and trustworthy. Rowan agrees and says that the three of them could ally. He CCs that he is here to win at any cost. He needs allies. Zhian, Tiffany, Josie, and Kamlyn are in the shelter. Zhian says that he and Ava have been married for five years. He says that they met online in a gaming tournament and ended up meeting in person at a convention and things kicked off from there. He says that it's kind of funny as their channel is a vlogging channel and not a gaming channel. Zhian CCs that he has a family back at home. He needs to win this for them. Gabby and Tiffany are at the water well. Gabby tells Tiffany that she knows that the tribe isn't as united as it looks. Tiffany says that she hasn't noticed anything but Gabby says that Devon and Kamlyn are very sketchy but Kamlyn is very good at challenges. Gabby CCs that Kamlyn still wants Devon out. It seems like those two are this tribe's Ambra and Brandi. Tiffany asks if Gabby plans to target Devon. Gabby says that it all depends on who does bad in the challenge. Tiffany expresses her worry but Gabby reassures her that nobody has a problem with her. Tiffany thanks her. Tiffany CCs that she seems to be getting along with everybody just fine, which is good for her.
On Napilui, Ambra is alone in the shelter. She CCs that certain people caused Tiffany to mutiny. She can't even blame her but, now, she is one ally down. Rio comes by the shelter and sits down. He asks Ambra if he knew who wanted Tiffany out. Ambra says that she doesn't know and now wants them out. Rio said that Tiffany seemed trustworthy. For all he knows, it could have been Brandi. He CCs that Kole leaving annoyed him but now he wonders if he can be Ambra's new number two. Enrico, Angie and Kaye are talking in the shelter. Enrico says that he's been haggled so many times and his favourite person who has ever haggled him was the one that was too honest about what she wanted it for. Angie comments on his numerous stories and how interesting they are. Enrico says that he's had a very interesting life and he is sure that his experience on here will be another story. Kaye CCs that she really finds herself trusting Enrico a lot as he seems really genuine. Angie says that, before her time on the podcast, her life was pretty standard with not many interesting things happening to her. She says that, after she was scouted for the podcast, that's when she was able to travel and meet so many awesome people as part of her job. She admits to being nervous as this isn't just any gaming news website. She also says that she received a lot of hate due to her replacing a fan favourite who was fired due to a lot of controversies. She says that the hate didn't help how nervous she was but she still tried her best. Enrico asks if she's still getting hate. Angie says that everybody is but the hate for her lessened by a lot and she's fine now. Enrico says that he can't trust many people in the tribe but a part of him feels like he can trust her a lot. Angie feels the same way and CCs that, if being allied with Ambra ends up being a sinking ship due to her rivalry with Brandi, it's good that she has Enrico to rely on, even though she really likes Ambra. Saahira is talking with Kaye in the shelter. Kaye says that she is, slowly, learning more and more about the game. Saahira says that Milo is, no doubt, proud of her. Kaye thanks her and asks Saahira about who she doesn't trust. Kaye CCs that she has downplayed how much she has learned. She will admit that she knew very little going into the game, though. Saahira says that she can't trust Ambra and Brandi at all as they've, both, been exposing each-other. Kaye says that whoever performs worse, if they lose, is who she is voting for. Kaye CCs that she doesn't know the game that well but she is a very observant person and she's able to pick up on the tribe dynamics. She says that she plans to lurk in the shadows and then strike when the time is right.
On Leduaranor, Tiffany is talking with Rowan, Millie and Josie. She says that she will betray everybody on the other tribe, no problem. She says that the other tribe wanted her out really badly and she's completely forgiven this tribe for what happened on Day 3. She CCs that she is saying anything and everything. Rowan says that he is fine with that. Josie says that they can pretend Day 3 didn't happen, which Tiffany is greateful for. Josie CCs that, thankfully, bygones are bygones. Tiffany is then talking with Kamlyn and says that she seems nice so she will vote for whoever she wants out. Kamlyn says that she has an alliance with Josie, Gabby and Millie and she can see about making her another member. Tiffany says that she would appreciate that. She CCs that she should've mutinied earlier. Kamlyn talks to Josie about how Tiffany is their newest member. Josie says that she has no issue with that. She CCs that Tiffany may be the most secured person on the tribe now. Everybody is fine with her. Josie talks with Rowan about how they could easily turn things around on Kamlyn. Rowan agrees and says that nobody trusts or likes her. The other option, he says, is Kole. He thinks Kole could be a spy. Josie understands that. Rowan CCs that he would love to send Kole out if they lose. He's already been asking about tribe dynamics from everybody and it is sketching him out.
At the Challenge Arena, Cornilio Roquez says that both tribes will be heading to Tribal Council. However, this endurance challenge will determine individual immunity. The last two people from one tribe will be safe. That tribe will then go second tonight at Tribal Council while those immune will have to stay at camp. Gabby and Josie win Individual Immunity!
On Leduaranor, Gabby CCs that this was a gamble. She didn't know if she was completely safe so she had to go for it. Josie CCs that she wanted to make sure others, like Kole, didn't get it. She doesn't know how to feel about him yet. Elsewhere, Kole CCs that he may have been unable to win Individual Immunity but he still has a chance to target who he wants to target. Kole goes up to Rowan and Zhian and says that, if they want to make him feel welcome in the tribe, he'd like to call the first shot on who goes home. Rowan CCs that Kole decided that entitlement was a good strategy. He says that, if they don't want to comply, he'll go to others in the tribe and maybe offer the two of them as targets. Zhian tells him that his social game sucks, CCing that Rowan has his suspicions before but now Kole is just being an a**.
On Napilui, Rio and Ambra are in the shelter. Rio tells Ambra that they should make their move on Brandi right now. Ambra says that she would be delighted. Rio CCs that Tiffany and Kole are not loyal and Brandi is too chaotic. The merge will be coming up soon so they need to think of that. Brandi manages to find the idol, CCing that she has done exactly what she wanted to do: ensure that nobody will target her.
On Leduaranor, Kole is talking with Kamlyn and Millie and says that they need to target Rowan and Zhian and, once one of them goes, he'll trust them completely. Millie CCs that Kole demanding targets doesn't sit well with her. Millie says that, perhaps, they could target somebody else for now. Kole scoffs at her, which pisses off Kamlyn, who tells him that he doesn't just get to come onto the camp and pretend like he owns it. Kamlyn CCs that she wants Kole out at this point.
On Napilui, Brandi CCs that she has a major strategy. Brandi wears the idol around her neck and starts dancing around the shelter as others in the camp look towards her. Ambra CCs that Brandi is showing off the idol on purpose. In the shelter, Saahira CCs that Brandi is clearly safe this round. Saahira is talking with Rio in the water. She says that, perhaps, they could vote for Ambra this round and Brandi the next. Rio says that he isn't opposed to the idea. She CCs that Ambra and Brandi need to go.
AT THE FIRST TRIBAL COUNCIL, Ambra calls out Brandi for her untrustworthiness, while Brandi retorts, saying that Ambra is a compulsive liar and a wildcard.
