Episode 13

"The Penultimate Step of the War"

Rose gave Josh’s 50-50 coin back to her. The next morning, Mittens and Curtis convinced Christian to target Vic rather than Rose , who they wanted to keep as a shield.

Vic won the challenge, foiling Curtis's plan. Back at camp, Curtis and Mittens were reluctant to vote out Rose , since that would expose them as the two largest threats left. As Josh’s advantage was common knowledge among the tribe at this point, the majority agreed to split the votes between her and Rose , while Rose tried to rally tribemates against Christian. Vic emerged as a swing vote; at Tribal Council, Josh played the advantage and successfully negated two votes, while Rose was sent to the Edge. He bequeathed his two tokens to Josh.

Josh, left out of another vote, confronted Vic about where his loyalties were. The next morning, she attempted to get the alliance of Christian, Mittens , and Curtis to turn against each other by telling Mittens that Curtis would be unbeatable at the end. At the Edge, DD continued her dominance at finding advantages; this new one would be sold to a castaway in order to give another competitor a disadvantage at the upcoming immunity challenge. She sold this to Vic for 8 tokens, and since he had only 6, he asked Josh to loan him the remaining two.


Vic anonymously willed the disadvantage to Christian, meaning he would have to set up a 30% longer line of blocks. Josh won the challenge, thwarting the majority’s plan to oust her. As it was the last day to use fire tokens, Penner proposed everyone eat the rest of the rice so she could buy more and be more prepared for the second re-entry challenge if she were to get voted out. Christian and Penner had targeted Vic, while Josh and Vic targeted Penner . Curtis’ spy nest allowed him to listen in on Penner forming a final three with Mittens and Christian, which made him talk to Mittens about possibly voting out Penner instead. However, at Tribal Council, he and Mittens joined Penner and Christian in sending Vic to the Edge.

On Day 35, both groups were informed that the second and final re-entry challenge would take place today, and the group from the Edge prepared accordingly. Nofo, Shadow, Zersch, Dylan, and Brian each bought one advantage, and DD, having amassed sixteen tokens, bought three advantages, a can of peanut butter, and a hidden immunity idol that she gave to Dylan , who she shared her peanut butter with.
