| (TITLE) |
| On the way back to camp, Angie CCs that her, Enrico, and Kaye decided on Saahira an hour before the Tribal. They couldn't risk voting Brandi and then her using the idol. Enrico CCs that he is, now, part of a very trustworthy three-person alliance with Angie and Kaye and he is ecstatic. Brandi CCs that she was so happy that she wasn't targeted as she wanted to get closer to the merge before using the idol. Enrico openly wishes Saahira the best. |
| On the way back to camp, Kamlyn CCs that she is so glad that Kole is now gone. Rowan CCs that it is good riddance. |
| Opening Credits |
| In the morning, Zhian CCs that, last night, he made an alliance with himself, Josie, Rowan, Tiffany and Gabby. However, he is having some second thoughts. Zhian approaches Josie, expressing doubts about their current alliance and suggesting they explore new options. Josie says that they could but the alliance was just made last night. Josie CCs that the game could be getting to Zhian but this now makes her want to look at other options as well. Zhian engages in a conversation with Gabby. He talks about having a secret alliance within the alliance. He CCs that he doesn't know if he can trust everybody so he'll start with Gabby. Gabby is receptive to it. Millie, walking close by, catches a glimpse of them but can't hear any details. Millie CCs that a part of her wants to trust Zhian and Gabby but, sometimes, she finds it difficult. Millie is talking with Kamlyn about potentially targeting Zhian or Gabby. Kamlyn says that she is perfectly fine with that, CCing that she has toned down her game and people have been approaching her more. People like Millie for example. Tiffany ends up close by when she overhears Millie say to Kamlyn that she doesn't know if Tiffany would follow the plan. Tiffany CCs that she is curious about this plan. She thinks that Millie and Kamlyn don't trust her. Rowan is sitting on the sand. He CCs that he is feeling uncertain about his current alliance with Josie, Zhian, Tiffany, and Gabby and wants to explore other options. He approaches Millie and suggests the idea of forming a strong alliance. She is receptive to that. Millie CCs that she trusted Rowan before but, now, he had the idea of a majority alliance. Finding Devon in the shelter, Rowan and Millie approach him cautiously, aware that their conversation needs to remain confidential. They pitch the idea of forming a new alliance together, emphasizing the potential strength and stability it could provide. Rowan CCs that he has always trusted Devon so he needs him in this alliance. Devon is all for it, CCing that he trusted the two of them already so making it official is great. |
| On Napilui, Rio is alone in the shelter. He CCs that he's been watching Survivor since Season 5 was airing. A part of him actually grew up with the show. He would watch this show with his family every week that it was on and he dreamed of being on the show. His family got into the show when his mom's friend, Alannah Vurner, competed. Rio is talking with Angie in the shelter. He says that, so far, they have lost Taarif, Dean and Saahira. He says that he would've preferred Taarif staying. Angie agrees. Rio CCs that he doesn't know where he sits with his tribe so it's time for him to make something happen. Rio says that they need to ensure one of Ambra or Brandi leaves soon because that chaos at merge would be bad for them. Angie disagrees and says that the two of them staying at merge could be beneficial to them. Rio CCs that Angie may be allied with one of them if she is saying this. That just means that he could be expendable to her. Later, Rio is swimming alone in the water. He CCs that he was so excited to be on the show and it's been everything he dreamed of it being. He was also worried about being the first one out but, thankfully, he survived. Kaye is with Ambra in the shelter. Ambra says that it's now down to six members of the tribe. Ambra CCs that five people have left their tribe and Brandi is still here. Kaye says that anything could happen at this point. She CCs that she really likes Ambra and wants to work with her. If she joins the alliance, that just means Brandi and Rio would be on the outs and she really likes Rio as well. |
| On Leduaranor, Gabby is in the shelter with her tribe. She discusses taking a risk and going to the other tribe to gain information. Gabby CCs that, admittedly, a part of her plans to do this to get more allies as well but only if she can sell the idea of mutiny to the tribe. Otherwise, she loses their trust. Kamlyn and Tiffany see no issue with it. Tiffany tells her to be careful, though. |
| 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. Gabby CCs that her longterm plan starts now. Gabby steps forward and heads to the other tribe. Zhian mumbles to himself and rolls his eyes, CCing that, in order for Gabby to not be voted off, they need to sell that Gabby was on the outs. As time is about to run out, Tiffany steps forward. Rowan CCs that Tiffany had to be a spy. Unfortunately for her, she got no info. Tiffany CCs that she wants to see if she can take out Enrico as he's taken over the tribe. Napilui wins Reward! |
| On Leduaranor, Kamlyn CCs that Tiffany switching back was not a good look. The entire tribe trusted her. In the shelter, Kamlyn tells Josie and Millie that she wants to make it to merge and vote out Tiffany. Millie says that there are probably bigger fish to fry than Tiffany. She CCs that Kamlyn's not looking at the bigger picture and she is being blinded ... again. First, it was Devon and, now, it is Tiffany. Devon is at the water well with Zhian and Millie. He says that they should get Rowan and make an alliance and head to the Final 4 together. He CCs that he already has an alliance with Rowan and Millie but he'd also like to add Zhian to the alliance. |
| On Napului, everybody welcomes Gabby and Tiffany to the alliance. Gabby CCs that what she did was a huge risk but, maybe, it'll pay off. Everybody is in the shelter. Gabby says that she was on the way out and she would like a new allegience, which is why she flipped. Tiffany says how that surprises her, CCing that she knows what Gabby is up to. She plans to manipulate the entire tribe. Gabby CCs that, for some odd reason, Tiffany is trying to blow her cover. Gabby tells Tiffany that she wouldn't know what that was like as everybody loved her on the tribe. Tiffany says that she had not once heard her name. Gabby says that, maybe, for all they know, she was on the outs as well. Tiffany shrugs and says that, perhaps, that is true. Kaye CCs that she doesn't know who to believe in the moment. |
| On Leduaranor, Millie, Josie and Kamlyn are in the shelter. Kamlyn says that she may not have been the most trustworthy alliance member but she wants to change that. She proposes a Final 3 alliance between them. The other two accept. Kamlyn CCs that she started to notice people be a little distant towards her. She sort of figured that ... maybe ... she was playing a bit too hard. Gabby CCs that nobody on the tribe trusts Kamlyn but she is willing to give her a second chance. Zhian is talking to Rowan and tells him that Gabby and Josie will go so far in the game and, with Gabby gone, maybe they should go after Josie. Rowan says that he isn't sure right now but is completely open to making sure they find a target that would help the both of them. Rowan CCs that he isn't too sure about Zhian at the moment as he, himself, is good with Josie. Devon is alone in the shelter. Millie comes and sits beside him and asks what is on his mind. Devon says that the game is crazy and he feels as though the pressure is starting to get to everybody. Millie says that she can see that. Devon says that his main target is still going to be Kamlyn as she has been gunning for him hard for the past two weeks now. Millie says that she would, definitely, vote her out when given the chance. Devon CCs that, judging from this talk alone, he knows he can trust Millie. Millie CCs that Devon is somebody she wants around for awhile. |
| Leduaranor wins Immunity! They choose to silence Tiffany. |
| On Napului, Tiffany CCs that a part of her should have seen this coming. At this point, she can't return to the other tribe, even though she wanted to the next chance she got. Brandi is in the shelter with Angie. Brandi tells her that, this round, she wants to be a vote for her. She CCs that she needs to get back to the top and this is the best way. Angie says that she doesn't have a target right now but she will, definitely, consider that. Brandi says that she knows that she may be on the outs but she would rather work with her. Angie appreciates that, CCing that she doesn't know if she can really trust her but she will use an extra vote. Ambra is with Tiffany in the water. She says that Brandi needs to go as soon as possible. Tiffany says that they need to watch out for Enrico, Kaye and Brandi. Ambra says that, if those three are allied, it makes even more sense to go after Brandi since that will be good for the both of them. Tiffany agrees. Ambra CCs that Brandi wants her out no matter what so she needs to strike first. Enrico is alone in the shelter, relaxing. Gabby comes up to him and sits down. She says that, whoever he wants out, he'll vote for. Enrico thanks her and says that the tribe may or may not have a unified target. He CCs that, to him, Gabby or Tiffany would be perfect but there is always somebody else that could be the better option to go. Gabby says that, if he keeps her, she'll be completely loyal to him. She CCs that she doesn't know who the target will be and she isn't the best situated on the tribe so this could easily be the end for her. |
| AT THE FIRST TRIBAL COUNCIL, Tiffany says that her target is Enrico but, since she can't vote, everybody else needs to vote for him. Enrico says that Tiffany isn't trustworthy as she has betrayed both tribes at this point. Before the votes are read, Brandi plays her idol. Ambra votes for |

| On Napului, |
| Opening Credits |
| In the morning, Kaye and Angie are in the shelter. Kaye tells Angie that she is related to Deborah and Margie Liguori. Angie recognizes them as dangerous mobsters who were arrested many years ago. Kaye said that they were arrested when she was 21 and, now, she is 42. She moved out of her province and changed her name. Kaye CCs that she was born as Margaret Kaye Liguori but, after her mother and grandmother were arrested, she changed her name so that she could continue to live a normal life as the Liguoris are feared in Ciunia. She changed her name to Kaye Maria-Leigh Galano and, now, she is married with two kids. Angie sympathizes with her. Kaye said that she wanted to give her kids a mother figure who would always be there for them as her mother figure was too busy, as one would imagine. Kaye says that she will do whatever it takes to give her kids a fantastic life. Reuben and Alexia are very important to her, along with her amazing, supportive husband, Milo. She says that she wants to win this game for them and give them the life that they deserve. Kaye CCs that she went through a lot and she wants her kids to have as much as she can offer them. She is so happy to have a great family. Angie CCs that she feels for Kaye and is happy that she was open about her story. |
| On Leduaranor, Devon is talking with Rowan in the shelter. Devon CCs that this has been an amazing experience. He had his doubts but he is shocked that he has made it this far. Rowan says that, despite the game being really hard and taxing at times, he's had a blast. Devon says that his sister is the reason why he applied and, beforehand, he's only seen a couple seasons because of her. Rowan hopes that his experience will cause him to watch past seasons. Devon says it will and CCs that, no matter how far he makes it, he will cherish the experience Rowan says that he misses his family back in Entrofeira but he will persevere for them. Rowan CCs that one of the reasons his mother would hit him is because he is gay so to be with a family that accepts him means a lot. He, absolutely, loves the Raptis' and is proud to be a member of their family. As far as he is concerned, he has always been a Raptis, even if it took awhile for that to happen legally. Rowan says that he would love it if they made it far together as he respects Devon quite a bit. Devon says the same and wonders if he's up for a Final 2 together. Rowan says that he would love that. Devon CCs that he feels like he can trust Rowan a lot, which is not something he feels for most of his tribe. Rowan tells Devon that he had a family member be on the show before. Devon asks who. Rowan says Susannah Henriques was his birth mother. A lot happened that people didn't know about and he and his brother would later get adopted by a much better family. Devon says that he is sorry to hear about that. Rowan thanks him and wanted to tell him that as he knows that Devon's sister, Rudi, was on the show before so they have that connection. Devon CCs that he wasn't expecting that connection but this makes him trust Rowan a lot more. Devon thinks that they should go after Kamlyn. Rowan says that he is up for it as she has made more enemies than friends on the tribe. Zhian is talking to Josie about whether or not anybody will vote Kamlyn out in the future. Zhian thinks that Kamlyn can be a massive threat while Josie thinks that Kamlyn isn't as she is just an extra vote to people. Josie CCs that what she said is a rude thing to say but nobody trusts Kamlyn. She has made alliances and broken them with everybody on the tribe.. Rowan is talking with Millie at the water well. Millie says that she is unsure if the merge will even start at Final 12 as they haven't had a Tribe Swap yet so getting rid of Kamlyn may be a horrible decision for them. Rowan agrees but that all depends on how she acts over the next couple of days. Rowan CCs that Kamlyn is a wildcard. She's broken promises to everybody at this point. Rowan also brings up her going on an Immunity streak if they make the merge. Millie agrees and says that getting rid of her now may be the best choice. Millie CCs that she wants to ally herself with Kamlyn but she doesn't know if she will be the next alliance member thrown under the bus. Kamlyn is talking with Josie about targeting Zhian as, if he doesn't leave soon, he won't leave ever. She says that, while she isn't the most trusting of her or Devon, Zhian needs to go. Josie appreciates it and CCs that Kamlyn openly telling her that she doesn't trust her or Devon doesn't sit right with her. You don't tell somebody to their face that you don't trust them. Devon is talking with Millie in the water. Devon says that, when it comes to the merge, he thinks that they can use the other tribe's infighting against them and take majority. Millie thinks that they could but, also, backstab some of their own allies in the process. Devon says that he is down with that. Devon CCs that the game has been exciting so far and, when they reach the merge, it should be easy to take majority. He says that he's regained the trust of the tribe and he wants to use that. Rowan is talking with Josie in the shelter. Rowan says that he really wants to stick with her. Josie agrees and says that she can't see herself betraying him. Rowan CCs that he is being genuine with Josie as she is a fantastic person. |
| On Napului, Ambra CCs that she needs to find an idol if she has any shot at trying to survive. Brandi having the idol shocked her so she needs to find it before Brandi does. There is a small montage of Ambra finding an idol. She CCs that she is ecstatic and is ready to try and use this for a big move in the merge. Although, knowing her luck, the idol will be wasted. As Ambra heads back to the camp, she CCs that she wants to do whatever she can to ensure that Brandi is eliminated. She says that she respects Brandi as a person but, in the game, it's a race to see who can get the other eliminated first. Gabby and Rowan are talking in the shelter. Gabby says that she really misses Sarah. Angie tells Gabby that Sarah is, no doubt, proud of her for making it to the Final 13 and that Gabby should be proud of herself as well. Angie says that she is here if she needs to talk. Gabby CCs that Sarah is the most important person in her life right now and she wants to win this for them. She says that she can't let the game get to her. At camp, Rio is alone in the shelter, CCing that he will do whatever it takes to gain the power needed to take over the game. He says that he has come this far and he won't throw away any opportunities. Rio is with Enrico at the water well and says that, out of everybody here, he trusts Enrico the most. Enrico says that he really trusts Rio so he is glad to hear about that. Enrico CCs that Rio is the most trustworthy person outside of his alliance. Rio is then talking with Kaye and tells her that he would love to have a finals alliance with her. Kaye is completely up for that. Rio is with Ambra and says that he would like nothing more than to head to the end with her. Rio CCs that he doesn't plan to make an alliance with everybody on the tribe as that would leave him trapped when they lose immunity. |
| Napului wins Reward! |
| On Leduaranor, Zhian and Josie are talking by the water well. Josie wonders if they will be alright in the merge, CCing that, since it is the game, she has no problems playing all sides. Plus, she has to keep her and Rowan's names out of peoples' mouths. Zhian hopes so and says that they will have to work on befriending everybody on the other tribe so that they can make new alliances. Zhian CCs that he wants to make an alliance consisting of both people from this tribe and the other and make sure that they are the final contestants remaining. Out of the people in this tribe, he wants Gabby and Tiffany with him as he trusts Gabby a lot and Tiffany is a sweetheart. Zhian thinks that her and Ava would be really good friends. |
| On Napului, Ambra and Enrico are talking in the shelter. Ambra says that she remembers being on anxiety medication all throughout high school. Enrico comments on how that must've been hard. Ambra says that it was and, that, discovering her passion for journalism in Grade 11 helped out more and more as time went on. She said that it was a dream for her to pursue it and she fulfilled it. Growing up, she was unsure but she knew that she had to pursue something with writing and it was her best friend that helped her realize what she wanted to do with her life. Enrico says that it's amazing when you have friends like that. Ambra agrees. She CCs that it's nice to have somebody that she can trust. Some days, she isn't really sure. Brandi is walking on the beach alone, CCing that, since her decision to vote out Dean, she has been tanking her game hard and she can't help but laugh. She says that she has a really good sense of humour and nothing phases her too much. Brandi comments that she is a walking tutorial on how not to play the game. She laughs to herself, CCing that she loves self-deprecating humour as, if you can't laugh at yourself, what CAN you laugh at? Brandi says that the first rule is to avoid going on a massive power trip when you think you are in power. Brandi says that the second rule is making sure that you don't make a Final 2 deal with every person on the tribe, even though one of them was, completely, genuine. Brandi CCs that the merge is going to be fun, whenever it happens. Assuming she gets there. |
| Napului wins Immunity! Millie is silenced. |
| On Leduaranor, Millie CCs that she really doesn't mind being silenced as all that means is that she can fly under the radar and nobody has to worry about her vote. Zhian is talking with Josie about what to do when the merge comes. He says that they can use the infighting to recruit people from the other tribe to go after threats like Millie and Rowan. Josie agrees and CCs that she plans to be loyal to Rowan but she wants to wait until she has to choose between them before deciding if she passes that info to him or not. At the same time, she doesn't see herself betraying him. Kamlyn is telling Millie that she plans to target Devon, Rowan, or Zhian and wants to know which person she is comfortable with. Millie appreciates that she is asking her opinion and says that she really likes Rowan and Devon and doesn't know Zhian too much. Kamlyn CCs that, while Devon is her rival, she also sees Rowan and Zhian as huge threats as well. She says that Josie is another rival of hers but she feels like she can get Josie on her side again. Kamlyn is talking with Josie and says that, if she could keep Devon, Rowan, or Zhian, who would she keep? Josie asks Kamlyn her motive for asking a question like that. Kamlyn says that she just wants to know. Josie tells Kamlyn that she would keep Rowan and CCs that she doesn't want to yell at Kamlyn right now, especially since something is, probably, going on. Josie is talking to Rowan at the water well and tells him to watch out for Gabby when the merge comes as she brought up his name quickly during the Immunity Challenge. Rowan really appreciates the information and says that they need to be the Final 2 for sure. Josie says that she would love that. Rowan CCs that, at this point, he definitely considers Josie to be his number one ally. Kamlyn CCs that, despite wanting Zhian out, she isn't too sure. Kamlyn is with Rowan in the water. She asks him if Devon or Zhian should go. Rowan is confused on the wording of the question and says that he thinks the two could be targeted at the merge as opposed to now. Kamlyn asks who he would want to target and he says Millie, CCing that only having six people on the tribe makes it really hard, especially when his target, like others, is Kamlyn. |

| On Leduaranor, when they get back to camp, Millie CCs that she was shocked by what happened but she respects Kamlyn for the move. Kamlyn CCs that they all wanted her out and she is still here. Kamlyn mocks all of them for trying to get rid of her. She goes off on Josie, believing that Josie never had her back to begin with. Josie argues that the game is getting to Kamlyn and she is acting erratic. Josie CCs that Kamlyn is the reason why she stopped having her back. Kamlyn starts yelling at Josie for her disrespect while Josie says that Kamlyn shouldn't have signed up for an experience that she couldn't handle. Kamlyn says that she can handle herself fine and, maybe, she shouldn't gotten rid of her instead of Devon. Josie is curious as to why Devon left. Kamlyn said that she had to choose between Devon, Rowan, and Zhian. Zhian CCs that he is shocked that Kamlyn openly admitted to that. Rowan CCs that all Kamlyn is doing is ensuring that nobody on the tribe will trust her again. People always make comebacks. Rowan says that he's glad that he is here to help ensure that Kamlyn leaves soon since he was a target of hers, apparently. Zhian asks Kamlyn why she is so reckless and why she keeps digging a hole for herself. Millie tries to break up the fighting. She CCs that she was not expecting any of this. Kamlyn begins to yell at the top of her lungs that Rowan and Zhian will be going next. Kamlyn CCs that she will ensure that. |
| Opening Credits |
| On Napului, Ambra is talking with Angie in the shelter. Ambra CCs that she really trusts Angie in the game and hopes to go to the end with her. She mentions that her upbringing was alright but she grew up as an outsider until college. She says that she worked on her appearance, worked on her social anxiety, and forced herself to get into a better mindset. Angie says that Ambra should be proud of herself for her change. Ambra says that she is but also says that she hates how she's been acting on the island and, that, even though she doesn't like Brandi, the rivalry has been going on for far too long. Angie agrees and CCs that she is glad that Ambra is self-aware as a part of her still wants to stick with her. Angie says that she didn't go through anything during her childhood but she's watched friends suffer and has tried to be there for them. Ambra says that she feels really comfortable talking with Angie, with Angie agreeing. Enrico and Kaye are by the water well. Enrico says that he really respects how calm and collected Kaye has been and says that she's been through a whirlwind of events and can still keep her cool most of the time. Kaye says that it takes some effort but there is no point in her lashing out, even at somebody like Kole Hachette. Kaye CCs that she is so glad Kole was taken out when he was because he just wasn't respectful to anybody on the tribe. Enrico says that, before this, he has only gotten furious one other time that he can remember. Kaye comments that Enrico has had a really interesting life. Enrico laughs and says that everyday is an adventure with Enrico Brighton. Rio is in the shelter alone, CCing that he has a plan when merge comes. He plans to throw the first Immunity and lay low. Rio talks with Gabby and says that he feels comfortable with the two of them being a power duo. He CCs that his mission is to let others paint targets on their backs for suggesting targets while he works on the social game. |
| On Leduaranor, Millie and Zhian are in the shelter. Zhian says that he wants Kamlyn out for multiple reasons now. Beforehand, he went along with what others wanted but, now, he has a vendetta. Millie says that she wants Kamlyn out to avenge Devon. Zhian CCs that Kamlyn made her targets clear so, as long as she is in the game, he is in massive trouble. Millie CCs that Devon came in with a massive target and he was misunderstood. Rowan is with Kamlyn at the water well. He tells her that he only turned against her because she was playing so hard and made herself look very untrustworthy. She was warned by a few people who genuinely cared that she needed to slow down, especially on the paranoia. He CCs that everybody else on the tribe is pissed after last night except for him and Millie. A few times, he pulled her aside and gave her a warning about how she may be coming across. He intended for that to help her realize but, instead, it may have fueled her paranoia. Kamlyn says that nobody on the tribe ever had her back. Rowan said that he did but he gave her no other choice. He says that it is very possible to bounce back from this but she is making it very hard on herself. Rowan CCs that she admitted to him, before the vote, that she was considering him. That is what fully turned him against her at Tribal. |
| 1 Hour Before Tribal Kamlyn is with Rowan in the water. She asks him if Devon or Zhian should go. Rowan is confused on the wording of the question and says that he thinks the two could be targeted at the merge as opposed to now. Kamlyn asks who he would want to target and he says Millie. ... ... Kamlyn then says that Millie isn't an option for her and she's been asking others between Devon, Zhian ... or him. Rowan is shocked. Kamlyn says that he needs to choose or he could go. |
| Rowan CCs that the strong-arm approach plus her revealing that she is asking people to potentially target him is what told him that she needs to go. Rowan says that he was considering going after her a couple rounds ago but he had hoped that she could be somewhat trustworthy. Rowan says that her then going after Josie at camp, as well as stating him and Zhian as alternative targets to their faces really did her no favours. He says that it also seems like she was going after Devon, him and Zhian for awhile. Kamlyn says that she's had them as her main targets since very, very early on but she is willing to drop Rowan as a target. Rowan says that he is honoured and CCs that he was wary of Kamlyn since Day 10 or 11. It was before the Dean vote. He tried to be an ally and then he heard from Gabby that Kamlyn wanted him out. He didn't believe her but then Kamlyn came up to him with four--legit four--different targets. Then, he started to notice her being very erratic so he kept a close eye but just didn't know if he could trust her or not. Kamlyn CCs that Rowan is not afraid to say what is on his mind and, in hindsight, he was actually the most trustworthy person to her and she still wanted him out. So, maybe it is good for her to not target Rowan anymore. |
| It is time for the merge! Everybody participates in the Reward Challenge and they all win a chocolate feast! |
| On the Vongane merge tribe, as everybody is enjoying the Reward, Rio CCs that he can not believe that he made it to the merge! He is so happy that he managed to do this! Josie talks about her restaurant business, which fascinates most of the tribe mates. She CCs that she is so happy with her life on the outside and playing her favourite game has been a joy as well. When asked, Zhian talks about how he and Ava got into vlogging: they wanted to document their lives together and to, hopefully, inspire people to pursue their dreams. Josie asks Kaye what inspired her to become a realtor. Kaye says that she grew up loving interior design and architecture but didn't have the passion to design or build homes. She had more of a passion showing off the works of others and helping people find their first home or, even, their dream home. Zhian says that he really respects that and CCs that Kaye's ambitions remind him of his and Ava's. All three of them want to help the lives of others in their own way. Later, in the new shelter, Gabby tells Millie and Josie that Ambra and Brandi absolutely hate each-other. She CCs that she mutinied to act as a spy and indeed she did. However, she isn't loyal to her whole tribe. Just Millie, Josie and Rowan. At the water well, Gabby tells Rowan that Ambra and Brandi are, no doubts, on the outs. Their constant arguments have isolated them. She CCs that Ambra and Brandi will always target each-other so she would rather have them around as targets. Later, Rowan talks with Angie and says that she looks kind of stressed out. Angie chuckles and says that her tribe was a train wreck. Rowan says that his tribe had it's own constant moments of drama as well. He says that he wants Kamlyn out as soon as possible and suggests that they go after eachother's targets. Angie says that she would love that. Rowan says that, if she ever wants to vent, though, he's here for her and, as far as he can tell, she comes across as trustworthy. Angie thanks Rowan and says that she really trusts him as well. Rowan CCs that he is beyond 100% genuine with Angie. Angie CCs that Rowan is a stand-up guy and trusts him a bit more in the game. She doesn't know about a Finals deal though. Brandi and Ambra are in the shelter. Brandi CCs that she knows that her and Ambra are being used at this point. She's caught on. She tells Ambra that she (Brandi) was very stupid in the pre-merge. She overplayed and it cost her a lot. She says that she should've stuck with her and had that Final 4 with them, Taarif and Dean. Ambra says that Brandi really screwed things up, for sure. Brandi says that she has no doubts that the only reason the two of them are still in the game is because everybody knows they will only go after each-other. Ambra says that she isn't completely sure on that but it makes sense. Ambra CCs that it seems like Brandi wants to end the rivalry but she doesn't know if she should. Rio is with Josie in the shelter. He says that he doesn't believe in tribe loyalty like tribe versus tribe. Josie says the same. Rio says that he would love to work with her. She says the same. Rio CCs that, even now, his main focus is his social game. He wants people to trust him. Enrico is approaching the back of the shelter when he overhears the conversation. He CCs that Rio is a very good social player. He's starting to catch on that he may be allied with most of the people in the game. |
| At the Challenge Arena, the host, Cornilio Roquez, says that the twist today is that four people will win immunity but those who do can not go to Tribal Council. Everybody is shocked. Ambra, Brandi, Kamlyn and Kaye win Immunity! |
| Brandi CCs that the twist was insane and reminded her of Season 17. Kaye CCs that winning Immunity was not something she needed to do but, at least, she doesn't have to worry about any blindsides against her. Back at camp, Kamlyn tries to get verbal with Josie, only for Josie to call Kamlyn out for her behaviour again. Josie CCs that she is completely done with Kamlyn. She wants nothing to do with her. Kamlyn brags about winning Immunity but Josie retorts that Kamlyn can win every Immunity challenge and still lose in the end because of how intolerable she is. Gabby and Kaye side with Josie. Kamlyn says that she chose to send Devon home with her idol over her. Josie says that she isn't going to be grateful just because Kamlyn wants another excuse to be entitled. Gabby CCs that she can't believe how entitled Kamlyn is. Josie CCs that everybody is starting to see her for who she is. Later, Enrico is with Kaye, Millie and Rowan in the shelter. Enrico says that, right here, are the people he trusts the most. He says that they all got along, especially after the merge started, and he thinks that they could be an amazing Final 4 alliance. He CCs that him and Rio are very similar in that they are looking to build an army. This group of four, though, is the one he wants to travel with the most in the game. Millie thinks that, if they decide to stick together, they should name themselves something. Enrico says that he isn't too sure. Same with Rowan. Kaye suggests The Placeholders as a placeholder name until they think of something. Everybody agrees to that. Kaye CCs that they are now, officially, The Placeholders! At least for now. Enrico CCs that the name is hilarious. Angie is with Gabby and Rio in the water. She says that a part of her wanted to go after Zhian but, now, only after Kamlyn goes. Gabby and Rio say that they understands that. Angie says that the two of them should go down the list of castaways and choose the best target for them. Angie CCs that the first vote at merge could decide a lot. Rio wonders if it matters if anybody else who is mad at Kamlyn goes first as everybody will take her out the moment they get a chance. Gabby and Angie don't think so. Rio CCs that he doesn't plan to choose the target but he doesn't want them to be super limited. Angie says that she doesn't want Millie out, especially this early. The other two agree. Gabby says that Josie isn't an option for her, again, not this early. Angie and Rio understand. Angie says that leaves them with Rowan and Enrico. Gabby says that she is conflicted. Angie suggests Rowan since she would rather target Enrico later. Angie CCs that Enrico is one of her closest allies and, while she would have gone after Josie, Gabby said that Josie wasn't an option for her this early. So, Rowan it is. Kamlyn is talking to Millie and says that, naturally, she wants Josie out. Millie says that she won't consider Josie an option for her. Millie CCs that she's had enough of Kamlyn. |

| (TITLE) |
| Everybody else is at Tribal Council while Ambra, Brandi, Kamlyn and Kaye are in the shelter. Kamlyn says that she doesn't care who goes since she isn't in any trouble. Brandi says that she relates. Brandi CCs that she has recognized her mistakes and is trying to better her social game. She has another 3 days to get in everybody's good graces. Kaye says that the missing four votes could easily be detrimental to everybody's plans. She CCs that Enrico has a specific target that she is unsure will go home or should even go home but she doesn't have a vote. As everybody returnt o plan, Kaye is the first to notice and state that Rio is gone. She CCs that Enrico managed it somehow. Millie says that it was a tie between Rio and Rowan and Rio went to jury. Rowan CCs that he almost went home, despite all the work he did in the pre-merge. He needs to figure out the three people that initially voted for him. Brandi says that every Tribal she's been in has never been unanimous and this is no exception. She says that she is surprised that Rio ended up being the person going home, mainly due to his social game. Ambra CCs that Brandi brings up a good point. Rio going home means anybody can go home at this point. Brandi CCs that others are aiming for big targets, which is good for her. Enrico CCs that he made an enormous move and that could easily paint a target on his back. |
| Opening Credits |
| Zhian is talking with Millie, saying that, throughout the pre-merge, he has grown to respect her. Zhian CCs that he does, genuinely, respect Millie and wants to go far with her. He says that he is positive that everybody at home will be proud of her. Millie thanks him and CCs that it is getting harder and harder for her everyday but she has her reasons for not giving up so she can't. She says that she's proud of herself for making it to the Final 11 and it's been an insane 3 weeks so far. She says that she has to get to the end and she knows that, if she tries hard enough, she'll make it there. There is a small montage of Angie finding the merge idol. Angie CCs that she is in it to win it so she needs to do whatever she can to ensure her safety. As Angie searches, Ambra is also seen finding it. After finding it, Ambra CCs that she can't believe she found it! She has been looking for three days! Josie is talking with Zhian about how she can't trust Gabby too much. Zhian CCs that it is time for Zhian Taaj to make some waves. Zhian decides to tell Gabby about it and secure a Final 2 with her in the process as they are both content creators. They agree and Gabby says that she is shocked Josie wants her out. Zhian suggests that they go after Josie once Kamlyn wins Immunity again. Zhian CCs that it is time to play hard. He says that he needs to build up a resume for the end and, to do that, he needs some moves in his back pocket. He says that he cherishes Josie and really respects her but he feels like he can trust Gabby even more and the option was to go after Gabby or to go after Josie. Gabby says that she really appreciates Zhian telling him and hopes that they can make it to the end together. Gabby CCs that she is so grateful Zhian told her this. Elsewhere, Angie and Millie are talking. Angie says that she is unsure if she can trust Zhian or Kaye and asks her opinion on them. Millie says that she adores the both of them and CCs that she can't trust Angie too much but thinks that it is better to leave Zhian and Kaye in the dark. Angie says that, if Millie adores them, they must be good. Angie CCs that she can't trust Millie as she trusts and adores everybody and has not contributed to any strategy talks. In a way, she may be one of the biggest threats due to being such a wildcard and, if Zhian or Kaye target her, she knows that Millie may be the next one to go. Enrico and Kaye talk in the shelter about targeting Angie and Gabby instead of Kamlyn and leaving Kamlyn to target Josie down the road. Enrico CCs that it is good to leave two people targeting each-other. Josie overhears this, CCing that she is shocked about this and talks to Rowan about what Enrico and Kaye were talking about. Rowan says that he'll vote with her (Josie) so she doesn't need to worry. Josie thanks him and says that, after Kamlyn goes, she wants to target Enrico and Kaye next. Rowan CCs that he trusts Josie over all others in the game right now but he is also very loyal to The Placeholders. Ambra is talking with Angie about Brandi leaving. Angie confesses that the rivalry made her question her allegiance with Ambra but she doesn't have to worry anymore. Ambra thanks Angie for the honesty. Ambra CCs that Brandi is both good and bad for her game. The rivalry made others leave both of them in the game butshe knows that Brandi will target her sooner than later again. Zhian notices Ambra and Angie together and CCs that he wants to establish another target just in case Kamlyn wins Immunity. Zhian tells Kaye that he has been noticing Ambra and Angie together quite a bit. Kaye thanks him for the info. |
| Gabby wins Reward, CCing that this will be an amazing opportunity to relax and recharge, and chooses to share it with Zhian. During the Reward segment, Gabby says that a part of her can't trust Kaye. Zhian brings up Ambra and Angie being together so much and Gabby admits that them being around each other so much may be a problem. Zhian CCs that a part of him feels really bad for lying and doesn't want to show people that lying is a good thing. He says that he wants to be a role model and, at least, he can admit to his mistake. Zhian thanks Gabby again for bringing him. Gabby thanks him for being so trustworthy, CCing that Zhian is a massive threat to win the game but, as long as he is loyal, she has no problems being cutthroat as that's the nature of the game. |
| Angie CCs is suspicious about Gabby choosing Zhian when they are both content creators and thinks that they have an alliance. Angie talks to Ambra about it, who understands her being suspicious. Ambra tells Angie that, perhaps, they should target one of them. Angie fully agrees, CCing that she would love to send one of them home. Ambra CCs that Angie brings up a lot of good points so she trusts what she has to say. Brandi is in the shelter with Josie, Rowan and Kaye. She tells a story about college days, which makes them laugh. Brandi CCs that she has done a 180 compared to the pre-merge. Kaye CCs that Brandi seems to be more calm and not trigger-happy like the pre-merge. Gabby and Zhian return and Gabby CCs that she really wants to confront Josie as she is a snake in the game but she can't. She can't ruin her game when she has to think about her and Sarah's future. Kamlyn is alone in the water and CCs that this is the opportunity to take out her biggest threat: Josie. Kamlyn is seen talking to Rowan, Enrico and Kaye separately about targeting Josie. As Kamlyn talks to Millie, Josie overhears her and goes up to her. Josie CCs that she's had enough. Kamlyn CCs that Josie overhearing her does nothing. Josie and Kamlyn end up getting into a screaming match. As it ends, Josie CCs that she wants Kamlyn out no matter what. Kamlyn CCs that she is confident that Josie is going. Millie CCs that the drama is insane to witness. Angie CCs that Josie and Kamlyn may easily stay but now there are two rivalries that may be staying and that isn't good for her. There is a small montage of everybody trusting Zhian. Rowan CCs that Zhian is great to talk to. Zhian CCs that he is doing his best to play a great social game. However, Angie, Ambra and Josie are not impressed. The three of them get together and talk about how Zhian needs to go sooner than later. Angie CCs that Zhian is on everybody's good graces and that makes him a major target. Josie then brings up how Zhian is saying how the two of them are an alliance. Angie manages to calm Ambra down, who wants to call Zhian out for his "nice guy facade". Josie thinks that Zhian is, genuinely, a great guy and is just playing the game just like everybody else. Ambra agrees and calms down but says that Zhian is at the top of her list. Ambra CCs that, yes, Zhian is higher on her list than Brandi. Later, Enrico decides to get naked again and runs around, flailing his arms. He CCs that he is having the time of his life while also being an under the radar observer. He is limiting his strategy talks to The Placeholders while playing up his social game to everybody else. Enrico tells another funny story to Josie, Brandi and Millie. Enrico CCs that, after Zhian went gung-ho on strategy talks, he slowed his down and now there is talk of Zhian being a target. So, he made a good call. |
| Josie, barely, beats Kamlyn in the Individual Immunity Challenge. She then silences Kamlyn and Zhian. |
| Back at camp, Zhian CCs that he is shocked over being silenced. Kamlyn and Josie get into a huge argument. When things finally calm down, Zhian CCs that he has something on his chest. Zhian asks her, in front of everybody, why he was Silenced when he thought that they were on good terms. Josie calls him out for throwing Ambra and Angie under the bus. Josie CCs that she is not lettign Zhian get away with this either. Zhian tries to make the excuse that he saw them together a lot and assumed things. Ambra then says that it is easy to see Gabby and Zhian as an alliance due to them both being content creators, which sparks an argument between Ambra and Gabby, who CCs that Ambra had no reason to bring her into this. Kamlyn walks away, CCing that she is, for sure, safe at this point. She tries to find an idol but to no avail. The Placeholders meet together and Rowan says that, while there are many targets, it is best to focus on Kamlyn. The others agree. Rowan CCs that the amount of people now targeted in front of all four of them is amazing. Ambra and Angie, however, talk with Kamlyn and they try to campaign for Zhian to go this time and for Josie to go next time. Kamlyn says that she will think about it. |
| AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Kamlyn tries her hardest to campaign for Josie to go next and for Zhian to go this time for being untrustworthy, as Ambra and Angie pointed out. Numerous arguments erupt. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH:

| Back at camp, Josie CCs that she is ecstatic that Kamlyn has left and, now, she can really focus on the game. She says that her rivalry with Kamlyn was, truly, a battle for her but, now, it is over. At camp, Josie thanks everybody. Gabby says that Kamlyn brought it on herself for how she acted. Rowan adds that Kamlyn really shouldn't have went after Josie for no reason like she did. Gabby CCs that her #1 target is Josie as she can't trust her at all. She has a few people under her belt as is and that makes her dangerous. Zhian sits down at the shelter. He CCs that Tribal was absolutely insane and he doesn't know what to think now. |
| Opening Credits |
| In the morning, Rowan notices that Josie is upset and goes over to comfort her. He CCs that he saw Josie this morning and couldn't help but empathize with her. Josie talks to Rowan about her daughter, Marie, and how she has tried her hardest to give her a great upbringing. Rowan tells Josie that he is sure that Marie looks up to her and is proud to call her her mom. Josie really appreciates Rowan saying that and CCs that she feels weak because she's needed reassurance because she misses her family so much. Rowan tells Josie that she is an amazing woman with a strong business and a husband and child that loves her and is, no doubt, proud of her. Rowan tells Josie that she will feel much better when they reach the Family Visit around the Final 8. He tells her to think about that and aim for it. Josie thanks him again. Rowan CCs that he wants to be there for his friends when they are down and, hopefully, make them smile again. Ambra is talking with Rowan in the shelter, saying that she has loved the experience so far is so proud of herself for making it far. She says that she used to dream about being on the show. Rowan says the same thing and says that it's still surreal to him. Ambra wonders what the Reward Challenge will be. Rowan is debating if he should win it or not. In the shelter, Rowan is talking with Enrico about how every member of The Placeholders have made it to the Final 10. Enrico says that he is so happy about that, CCing that he had no faith in the beginning that he would even make it to the merge. Enrico and Zhian are at the water well. Zhian says that, in the span of hours, he became a massive target to people. Enrico says that he has no intention of voting Zhian out. Zhian says that he really wants Ambra and Angie out sooner than later, preferably one of them going next. Enrico CCs that Zhian is a shield in front of him. He has no reason to send him home when he could take out one of Ambra or Angie. Alone in the shelter, Brandi tells Ambra that she doesn't expect her to trust her so easily but she promises Ambra that she won't vote for her and hopes to slowly build back that trust. She tells Ambra that she won't even name targets. She will do what Ambra wants. Brandi CCs that the one relationship she really needs to fix is Ambra's. She betrayed her due to paranoia and now she needs to make amends. Ambra thanks her for at least acknowledging that trust needs to be rebuilt. She says that they can start on a clean slate but she will be wary. Brandi says that what she is saying is understandable. Ambra CCs that she trusted Brandi at the beginning and it was the worst mistake in the game. Brandi seems to be a bit better but she doesn't know if she can trust her again in the game. Brandi CCs that she is being completely genuine with her. If things don't work out, she definitely wants Ambra to know that there is no trick this time. Enrico is with Ambra and Josie. He tells them a crazy story about hanggliding that they find very entertaining. Enrico is then telling Kaye about a story of him skydiving. He CCs that he used to be scared of everything when he was younger. That is why nothing phases him in the challenges in both Gavino's Challenge and Survivor. When he turned 20, he decided that he wanted to not let fears stop him. |
| At the Challenge Arena, Cornilio Roquez tells the audience that he is bringing back a few past castaways for a couple of ... decisions. Eric Porta, Taarif Ashraf, Dean Talley, Saahira Salameh, Kole Hachette, Tiffany Fidalliques and Devon Serra all walk out. |
| At the Challenge Arena, Cornilio tells everybody that he brought back the pre-jurors to decide who will be exempt from the Reward Challenge today. He says that they voted ... Brandi, who openly says that she is not surprised. Rowan wins Reward (day at the spa) and takes Josie, Kaye, and Millie, stating his reason that the three of them are married and have kids so he wants to give them some time to relax as he can't relate to their struggles as mothers. Millie CCs that she struggled not breaking down after hearing that. Rowan CCs that the three of them really needed this. During the Reward segment, Rowan tells the three of them that he really respects them and sees them struggling at times as they miss their life at home and he wants to help them out in any way he can and that is why he brought them. All three of them really appreciate it. Kaye CCs that she has been struggling recently as she misses her kids and her husband and really wants to see them. She really needed this but she also needs to head to the Family Visit. Later, Kaye tells Millie that she really respects Rowan a lot. Millie also agrees and says that she can't see herself voting him out. Kaye CCs that it is just occuring to her how big of a threat Rowan can be. He seems genuine but she has no doubt that he is a social threat as well. |
| In the shelter, Ambra is lying down, CCing that she thinks that it may be good to get Brandi out before she backstabs her again. Ambra is telling Angie that she would feel much calmer once Brandi left. Angie knows and says that she is there for Ambra and will vote out Brandi. Ambra thanks her and CCs that she has been planting more seeds, albeit more subtlely, that Brandi should go. Angie CCs that Brandi seems to be much more trustworthy now but she feels loyal to Ambra. She says that she can't find herself hating her and hopes that they can truly mend things after the game but, right now, Brandi is a huge threat to her game. Angie says that people wanted to leave Ambra and Brandi in as they would go after each other but, in the end, it's not healthy and it's time that Brandi left. Ambra says that she is still confused as to why Taarif left as he was such a kind soul and didn't do anything wrong. Angie says that Brandi thought Taarif was too big of a wildcard. Angie CCs that she finds it hard to trust Brandi herself but notices the efforts made at the merge. Rowan, Josie, Kaye, and Millie return. Enrico is with Zhian and Gabby in the shelter. He tells them that he really feels trust between the three of them. Zhian and Gabby agree. Enrico CCs that he's decided that he needs more allies. Gabby tells Enrico that the next few targets should, definitely, be Angie, Ambra and Josie in any order. Enrico says that he is perfectly fine with that. Gabby CCs that Josie can't be trusted but, as Zhian is her closest ally, she wants to consider the two who want him out as well. Zhian CCs that him and Gabby have beef with Josie so that is one target they definitely have in common. He CCs that Ambra and Angie need to be split up but he doesn't feel the need to take out Josie. So, he is thinking Angie or Ambra goes and then he will target Gabby and earn Josie's trust. Ambra and Brandi are in the water. Brandi says that it is great that they are able to mend things. Ambra says that she likes the effort but she is still unsure. Brandi says that, surely, she has noticed that she is not playing like how she did in the pre-merge. Ambra says that she's noticed. Brandi CCs that she has been trying for over a week. If Ambra won't start trusting her soon, she will have to conclude that nothing can be done about it and move on. Brandi is with Josie in the shelter. She tells Josie that she is a loyal vote. She will consider to prove in the merge that she is loyal to people. Josie appreciates it and says that, if she wants Gabby gone, if Brandi will vote for her. Brandi says that she doesn't trust Gabby and will vote her out 100%. She CCs that she is telling Josie what she wants to hear but, at the same time, she does trust Josie over Gabby so that works out. Brandi is with Enrico at the water well and says that she is super conflicted about Ambra. She says that she doesn't think Ambra will ever trust her again in the game. Enrico says that he wouldn't as Ambra spoke to him less than 20 minutes ago about how she needs to go. Enrico CCs that he isn't lying. Ambra has been campaigning a lot since Kamlyn left that it is time for Brandi to go. However, he disagrees. Brandi says that she will admit to trying to make amends but Ambra gave her nothing to go off of. Brandi CCs that now it's time to move on from trying with her. |
| Zhian wins Immunity and silences Angie and Josie. |
| Angie CCs that she isn't surprised about Zhian's decision. What she IS surprised about is that it wasn't her and Ambra. Zhian CCs that he silenced the two people he wants out the most. Josie thanks Zhian for the silence as now she doesn't have to worry about who she will vote for since she can't. She CCs that she will be worried about his campaigning though. Brandi and Zhian are alone at the water well. Brandi says that she knows that he wants Ambra, Angie and Josie out. She CCs that it is clear to her that Angie and Josie are highly on his list than Ambra due to his decision but she can't have that. Brandi says that Ambra is openly campaigning to get her and him out. Yes, they can go after Angie or Josie but Ambra is dangerous because people are underestimating her. Zhian CCs that she DOES have a point and Brandi has been super trustworthy. Ambra is in the shelter with Rowan, Kaye and Josie. She says that Brandi is playing under the radar right now but she is super dangerous and is very determined to do what she wants. Ambra CCs that it's now or never. She needs Brandi out before she gets backstabbed again. Rowan, Enrico, Millie and Kaye (The Placeholders) are in the water. Enrico asks everybody who they want out. Kaye says that Ambra and Brandi are full-on campaigning now. Rowan says that with votes being split and two people not in the alliance being silenced, the four of them could control the vote and send anybody packing. He CCs that this is great for them if they want to take out a third party. Millie says that, as things stand, they may be powerful but, if they get too confident, they will crumble. Enrico agrees and says that they have to decide between a random third person or going with Ambra or Brandi. He says that people have lessened on Zhian despite being exposed a few days ago. Enrico CCs that Zhian laid low and played things smart and only three people want him out. They could easily send him packing but they can't let the power go to their heads. Millie says that Brandi seems really trustworthy now with the other three agreeing. Kaye says that Brandi has done a complete 180 and is much more trustworthy but, if they vote out Ambra, Angie and others could easily target them. Kaye CCs that this is an incredibly important decision. Ambra is in the shelter with Gabby. She tells Gabby that, if she helps her take out Brandi, she will vote out Josie next, no questions asked. Gabby says that Ambra's proposal is very tempting. Ambra CCs that she is playing every angle imaginable. Gabby CCs that, in a way, she can't decide. After Gabby leaves, Ambra sits alone in the shelter. She says that she has an idol but she doesn't think she will need it. She says that everybody knows how Brandi is and how dangerous she is. |
| AT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, Ambra and Brandi both say that their rivalry ends tonight. After the voting, Ambra plays her idol with Brandi congratulating her as the votes are being read. AT THE TRIBAL, THE VOTES GO AS SUCH:
