Episode #7

"Get to Gettin'" - Josh

After returning from Tribal Council, Dylan felt like she was in a power position due to both Curtis and Brian wanting to work with her. At the Levu camp, the tribe's food supply was depleted. When the tribes arrived at what looked like a reward challenge, Zersch announced the merge, as well as a large steak feast. During the feast, Dylan became irritated at KC's mannerisms and tried to realign with Josh, who was worried that the others might hear their conversation.

At the new camp, Jamie unsuccessfully attempted to find an advantage while building the new shelter. The Healers reunited with plans to bring in Josh and Vic from the old Yawa tribe, while the Heroes & Hustlers aligned against the Healers. Rose approached Vic about turning against the Healers, but she instantly told JJ. Rose also approached Dylan and Josh about voting out either KC or Jamie ; Josh still wanted Jamie gone for personal reasons, while Bryce and JJ warned Jamie that he was in danger.

Shadow outlasted Christian to win the challenge. Jamie apologized to Josh, who pretended to forgive him but realized he may have to continue with Jamie to benefit his own game. JJ suggested to the rest of the Healers that they target Dylan due to her intelligence, while Vic tried to convince Josh to stick with the Healers. Dylan and her allies came up with a "Plan B" to vote against Bryce in case of an idol.

At Tribal Council, KC went off on the tribe and openly wore his idol from the Levu camp. Before the votes were read, KC played the idol for himself, but didn't receive any votes, while Josh and Vic sided with the Heroes & Hustlers to blindside Bryce.

Episode #8

"Playing with the Devil" - KC

After Bryce's elimination, the Healers lamented being in the minority, while Vic found the secret advantage Jamie looked for after the merge. She learned that she could vote twice at a Tribal Council of her choice, provided she abstains from voting at the next Tribal Council.

Since KC drew the white rock, he got to join the winning team of Dylan, Jamie , Rose, Brian, and Curtis. Zersch revealed the feast would be served family-style, meaning players will eat one at a time and must leave enough food for the next person with KC choosing the order. KC ate last and suggested that Rose ate first, in an attempt to build trust with Rose. While eating, Jamie found a clue to the location of a new hidden immunity idol under the plate, and he made sure to cover it up using a nearby cloth. However, Dylan and Curtis both discovered the clue, and Curtis hid the plate in the bushes after he was finished eating. Back at camp, Curtis took advantage of Jamie going off on his own and quickly found the idol before asking Dylan to cover up his tracks. Jamie dashed in to ambush Dylan before most of the tribe joined them. Josh believed he saw Jamie find it and began to target him.

Jamie outlasted Brian to win the challenge, foiling the plans of the majority alliance. Josh suggested splitting the vote between KC and Shadow, who had proven to be a strong competitor. KC tried to convince Curtis and Rose to blindside Josh, who KC perceived as the leader of the alliance, but Josh overheard the conversation. Josh confronted KC, who accused him of swearing on the Marines; this angered Josh, and the two got into a heated argument. Vic told Josh of her advantage and how it would prevent them from splitting the votes at that night’s Tribal Council; Josh then asked JJ to join his alliance in voting out KC in fear of the vote split causing a scenario where he would be voted out.

At Tribal Council, KC reignited his argument with Josh, who subsequently opened up about his time after the Marines. During the vote, Vic was able to play her advantage without being caught, Jamie and JJ joined in the majority alliance's split-vote plan, and the votes were tied at 4 apiece between KC and Shadow while Josh and Vic each received a stray vote. On the revote, Shadow received 7 votes to KC's 1 and became the first member of the jury.

Episode #9

"Fear of the Unknown" - Josh

The morning after Shadow's elimination, JJ pitched an idea to the majority alliance to blindside Jamie at the next tribal council. Meanwhile, Vic told Josh about her successful advantage play, and Curtis told Rose about his immunity idol.

The team of Dylan, Jamie, KC, Brian, and JJ won the challenge. KC hoped to use the reward to sway Dylan and Brian to his side, but his efforts were for naught. At camp, KC capitalized on his tribemates' perception of him as obnoxious and abrasive and called Christian a goat in order to make them believe he would never win a jury vote at Final Tribal and thus, not be voted out. Curtis told Josh about his idol, and while Josh was excited about his ally finding it instead of Jamie, he also realized it would make Curtis a threat to him in the future. Josh told Rose, who started to lose trust in Curtis because he wasn't the only one who knew about Curtis' idol.

Vic outlasted Jamie to win immunity. Back at camp, Josh wanted to split the vote between Jamie and JJ, but Dylan and Christian were fed up with KC. Josh was very adamant about wanting to vote out either Jamie or JJ, causing some discourse among the majority. After Dylan was shut down by Josh about KC's status as a threat despite being widely disliked, she discussed deviating from Josh's plan and voting out KC with her allies and JJ.

Before Tribal Council started, JJ told KC to follow his lead. Dylan confronted KC about insulting her and Christian before JJ outlined the hypocrisy in her argument. KC accused everyone else of not playing the game, and JJ brought up the fact that the majority had 4 Heroes and 3 Hustlers, meaning the Hustlers would be picked off one by one at that point. Christian countered JJ's point by outlining that his comment was just as hypocritical as Dylan's opening one, that nobody is just a number and that morals and relationships do serve a purpose in the game. Before the votes were read, JJ played his idol for himself, but received only 2 votes. Jamie voted against Josh, but the remaining 7 votes were cast against Jamie, and he was sent to the jury.

Episode #10 & 11

"Buy One, Get One Free" - Curtis

After the heated Tribal Council, JJ revealed his blowup was a calculated plan to ensure the vote went against him so he would play his idol.

Vic won the challenge and chose to share the reward with Rose, Josh, and Christian. At camp, Curtis and Dylan discussed voting out Josh and Vic after Joe and JJ. While on reward, Vic revealed she chose Rose, Josh, and Christian due to her plans for a 4-person alliance to shake up the game, and they were in agreement. The castaways on the reward trip received letters from home. The next morning at camp, while reading his letter, Josh stumbled upon a clue to the location of a new hidden immunity idol, which he eventually found.

Before the challenge started, Zersch tempted the castaways with food; Rose, Josh, and Vic sat out, and Christian won immunity. Back at camp, Vic's new alliance prepared their revolt, with Roseassigning Josh to be their “double agent”, voting against JJ, while Vic and Christian asked Joe and JJ to join them. At Tribal Council, Vic's alliance put their plan in motion, completely blindsiding Brian and sending him to the jury.

After Tribal Council, a stunned Dylan and Curtis confronted their former allies about leaving them out of the vote. Curtis tried to make amends with Rose, but he was unable to do so.

The team of Christian, Josh, Rose, and Joe won the challenge. On the reward trip, Christian considered turning against Josh. Back at camp, Curtis unsuccessfully tried to sway JJ to his side, and Dylan also failed with Vic .

Dylan won the challenge. At camp, Vic told her alliance about her second vote, and Rosetold JJ and Joe that they would use it to split the votes between Curtis and Josh, when in reality, the alliance would stick together to blindside Joe. In private, Christian told Vic and Rose she was having second thoughts about staying loyal to Josh.

At Tribal Council, Josh continued his charade of being on the outside, but he warned Joe and JJ that they were on the bottom of the new alliance. Before the vote, Curtis played his idol but received only 2 votes. Ultimately, the alliance of 4 stuck together and sent Joe to the jury.
