• Reward: Fishing gear and Immunity

Ken knew he was in trouble now that one of his alliance members was gone. Someone was on to him, and he needed to find out who. The next day, the tribes were surprised that there was no reward challenge. At Fang, Ken watched for any strategy that was going on around him. Gillian noticed that Kenny was being especially observant. She figured he was looking for any alliance to break. Michelle went with Crystal to get water. On their walk, Michelle talked about aligning with Matty, Dan, and Susie. Crystal was worried about Michelle's allegiance to the alliance. Crystal knew the game could make a twist at any time, and she didn't want to betray her alliance. Crystal immediately told Ken about Michelle's plans. Gillian formed a close bond with Susie. They knew that Ken was a game player, and he could be a real threat. They made a plan to dispose of him as quickly as possible. At Kota, Bob, Marcus, Charlie, and Ace were annoyed with Paloma's laziness. They knew she had immunity, which annoyed them. Paloma was lazy around camp and weak in challenges. The only other person who the tribe disliked was Sugar. Sugar was disliked by all of the tribe. Back at Fang, the tribe got down and worked, but everybody noticed that Ken and Crystal were strategizing the entire time. At Kota, Kelly told Paloma that the tribe was getting annoyed with her laziness. Paloma kicked it into high gear and worked hard. The others were pleased that Paloma was finally working. Sugar on the other hand was sitting around doing nothing. The next day, Gillian, Randy, Susie, Matty, and Dan made a plan to vote off Ken, Michelle, and Crystal respectively. Ken grew wise about the plan. He told the tribe that Michelle had been taking extra food. Michelle was furious at Ken. She detached herself from her alliance, and she became a lone wolf. At Kota, Paloma continued working hard while Sugar sat around. That night, Michelle was kicked out of the shelter when there was no room. At Kota, Sugar flirted with the guys which annoyed everyone. The next day, the tribes were ready for the challenge. At the challenge, Fang barely beat Kota after Sugar weighed Kota down. Back, everyone was mad at Sugar. She tried to take herself off the block by telling everyone that Kelly was weaker. Nobody accepted Sugar's idea. At tribal council, Bob said that Sugar was the least productive of the tribe, which the rest of the tribe agreed upon. Sugar said that Kelly was much weaker in challenges. Kelly pointed out that it was Sugar's fault that Kota had lost immunity. Paloma still had her immunity, so she was the only on safe. For the vote, Bob, Ace, Kelly, Jacquie, Paloma, Marcus, Charlie, and Corinne voted for Sugar, while Sugar voted for Kelly. Sugar was the second person voted off in a 8-1 vote.

  • Reward: Blankets, a hammock, pillows, and a mat

• Immunity Challenge: One at a time, six tribe members would slide down a water slide. They would then swim out to retrieve a numbered tile, then run up the hill they slid down to drop their number off.

The first tribe to open their chest and use the ax to cut a rope that would raise their tribe's flag would win.

Kota's attention switched to Paloma. Even though she had a good work ethic now, she was still weak in challenges. The next day, Jacquie was approached by Bob, Ace, Marcus, and Charlie to form an alliance. Jacquie immediately reported this to her alliance. Kelly suspected Ace or Bob as the ringleader of the alliance. At Fang, Ken tried to save himself by putting Michelle on the block. He told the tribe that Michelle was the weakest in challenges. The tribe noticed that Michelle had been doing great in challenges, and she was one of the strongest girls on the island. At the reward challenge, Michelle's strength won reward for Fang. Back at Fang, everybody's spirits were high. They had comfort at camp, and got a lot of fish using their fishing gear. At Kota, nobody let the loss get them down. Everybody got back to work. At Fang, Ken got into an argument with Susie about her work ethic. Ken said she was too lazy. Susie said that she got all the firewood. That night, Ken took the hammock, which angered the tribe because they said Michelle would get it the first night after her amazing challenge performance. The next day, Ken sat around while everybody else did work. Susie got especially mad after he had told her that she was lazy. At Kota, Paloma and Kelly were woke up early and started working. As everybody woke up, they went to work, except for Ace. Ace decided to sleep in. Back at Fang, everybody made a plan to throw the challenge so they could vote Ken out. That night Ken took the hammock again. The rest of the tribe grew even angrier at him. The next day, Fang was ready to throw the challenge and vote out Ken. At Kota, everybody did Yoga to prepare themselves for the challenge. At the immunity challenge, Fang threw the challenge, so Kota won immunity. Back at Fang everybody was ready to vote for Ken. Ken and Crystal still tried to convince the tribe that Michelle still needed to go, but the tribe didn't agree. At tribal council, Michelle said that the tribe's problems revolved around Ken. Ken argued by saying that Michelle was the biggest problem. All the other tribe members, except for Crystal, said that Ken really was the biggest cause for problems at camp. For the vote, Michelle, Susie, Gillian, Matty, Dan, and Randy voted for Ken, while Ken and Crystal voted for Michelle. Ken became the third person voted out in a 6-2 vote.



Episode 4: High-Lo

• Immunity Challenge: The tribes would play a lacrosse-like game on the water. Each tribe member would be on a raft and have a paddle. Each round, Probst would toss a ball into the water. The castaways would paddle around the playing field, using the paddle to pass the ball from one tribe mate to another. The first tribe to throw the ball three times into their opponents goal would win.

Crystal knew she was in trouble now that Ken was gone and Michelle had gone with the other tribe members. She needed salvation, and she needed it soon. The next day, the tribes were confused at their tree mail. It told them, "Weak or Strong you've lasted this long. Now your challenge has just begun." At the challenge beach, Jeff told the tribes that they would rank their tribe from most to least important. Kota made Jacquie most important followed by Bob, Ace, Corinne, Marcus, Kelly, Charlie, and Paloma. Fang raked Matty as most important followed by Randy, Dan Susie, Gillian, Michelle, and Crystal. Michelle was worried that she was on the lowest rung of her alliance. Gillian worried about the same thing. The tribes learned that they would switch up the tribes. Jacquie and Matty picked tribes, but they went on the opposite tribe(Jacquie on Fang and Matty on Kota). Jacquie picked Corinne fist. Matty chose Ace. Jacquie followed up by choosing Kelly, Paloma, Michelle, Gillian, and Randy. Matty chose Bob, Marcus, Dan, Charlie, and Crystal. That left Susie. She would go to the tribe that lost the immunity challenge, but until then she would stay on Exile Island. At the new Fang, Paloma, Kelly, Jacquie, and Corinne decided to bring Michelle into their alliance. Michelle excitedly joined. The girls decided that Gillian would be used as a losable alliance member. they told her that they would stick together and vote off Randy first. At the new Kota, the guys formed an alliance against Crystal. Crystal, hoping for a new start, told the Kota men that she would help them vote off Matty and Dan. The guys told her that Dan was first to go. The next day, Randy sensed he was in trouble he tried to convince Michelle and Gillian that they would be first to go right after him. The girls knew he was right. They had no idea had to get the girls alliance to turn on each other. They knew they needed a hidden immunity idol to save them. At Kota, Crystal was unsure if she could trust the men of Kota, especially after Matty and Dan were hanging around with them. The next day, Randy knew they neede to win so they would get a chance to find the idol. Crystal knew she would only feel safe if the tribe won immunity. At the immunity challenge, Jacquie and Randy's teamwork won Fang immunity. At Kota, the guys knew Crystal was next to go, but Crystal didn't give up hope. She tried to convince them to vote off Dan. At tribal council, Crystal said that if she went tonight Susie would go home next time, because the guys have an alliance.

The guys were excited about losing Crystal. The next day, Susie joined up with Kota and was excited to see Crystal gone. She started to strategize. She told her old tribe mates, Dan and Matty, that she'd stay true to them, and they should pull a member from Kota over to there side. They agreed on working on Bob. At Fang, Randy continued to work hard to get on the women's good side, but girls wouldn't budge. At the reward challenge, Fang easily beat Kota, who didn't get single piece of fruit in their basket. Fang chose to send Charlie to Exile Island. At Fang, the tribe was excited about their reward. At Kota, everyone's spirits were down, and Dan used that moment to strategize. He told Bob that it was Ace's fault they lost. and he needed to go. Bob said he think about it, and immediately told Ace what Dan had told him. Ace confronted Dan and told him that if he didn't stay with the guys he would go next. Dan told Matty that they couldn't switch over with Susie, which completely destroyed their hopes of outlasting the former Kota members. When Dan told Susie what happened, she was outraged at Ace's threats. She called Ace out in front of the entire tribe as a jerk who gets his way by intimidation. This furthered Susie's connections to the rest of the tribe. At Exile Island, Charlie chose comfort because he felt secure in his alliance. The next day, Randy told Gillian and Michelle that the Kota girls were going to stick together. Randy then went to the Kota girls and told them that Gillian and Michelle talked to him about making an alliance. The Kota girls didn't believe Randy, but talked to Gillian and Michelle anyway. Michelle told them that Randy had confronted them about an alliance. The girls knew Randy had to go next. At Fang, Susie tried to stir the pot again. She tried to split the Kota alliance down the middle. She told Marcus that Ace and Bob were too close, and she told Ace and Bob that Marcus and Charlie were too close. The guys didn't know what to think, because they knew what Susie had said was true. Susie told Matty and Dan that they could exploit this split. They decided that they would try to split the vote between Susie and Dan. The next day, Susie, Matty, and Dan knew that winning immunity was still important. At the immunity challenge, Charlie rejoined Kota. Fang won immunity in a close game. At Kota, Matty told Marcus and Charlie that Dan planned to betray the guys, and he was the target, while Dan told Ace and Bob that Susie was still the target. The plans were ruined when, Marcus confirmed the plan with Ace. Ace was shocked to learn that the Fang men were trying to betray them. He approached Matty and Dan aand told them that they would still go if they betrayed the Kota men. Matty and Dan knew that Susie still had to go. At tribal council, Susie said anything could happen.

Back at camp, the guys celebrated their win. Fang didn't let the win get them down. They kept their heads up and worked. At Kota, Ace annoyed the guys by trying to divide the reward evenly, even though it was obvious he was giving himself more. When the guys were done, Ace, confident about his place, tried to be the leader. He told everyone what to do, which annoyed all the guys. At Fang, Randy gave up on fitting in his tribe, and didn't do any work. When they confronted him. He said if he wasn't given a chance in the game, he wouldn't help around camp. they countered him, by making a rule that whoever doesn't work, doesn't eat.

They were shocked with letters from home. The letters gave the men a chance to see each others real lives, and brought them closer together. At Fang, Randy was still upset about not being given a fair chance at the game. Corinne approached him and told him that he needed to suck it up, and that the game won't always go his way. That comment made Randy grow angry at Corinne. The next day, Randy tried to convince Gillian. Paloma, and Michelle to create a tie with to get Corinne out. Gillian and Michelle declined, because they were confident in their female alliance. They told Corinne what Randy had asked them, and she was outraged. She told them that what he did, sealed his face. At Kota, the guys were excited after their reward. They had confidence that they could win the next immunity challenge.

Matty was worried about his place in the tribe. He was alone and outnumbered. He needed a miracle to survive. The next day, the tribes merged. They had a huge feast. The mood was light-hearted and happy, but everybody was worried about what was up ahead. Paloma found a clue to a hidden immunity idol, but since she already had one and didn't want anyone else to find out, she hid it. The tribes returned to Fang's beach. At camp, the tribe decided to name themselves Nobag. Matty took Gillian and Michelle aside and offered to join up with them and the Kota girls, to vote out Charlie, Marcus, and Bob. They agreed and went to tell the Kota girls. Kelly told Michelle that it was good, because they needed all the votes they could get. Bob, Charlie, and Marcus talked to Kelly about creating a Kota alliance. Kelly agreed to the offer, but wasn't sure if she would keep it. Kelly told Jacquie, Paloma, and Corinne about the offer. They decided if they sided with Kota, they'd vote out Matty, if they sided with Fang, they'd vote out Marcus. The next day, Jacquie told the alliances who was going home on the other side. Both alliances took it as the Kota girls were with them. The Kota girls, needed to decide who they should side with. They couldn't reach a decision and were very worried about the consequences of their vote. The next day, Matty was still worried about his place in the tribe.

They pulled the former Fang members aside and told them they were the first ones gone once as Bob and Marcus left. They tried to convince them to vote out Paloma at tribal council. The 3 were unsure. Matty wanted to do it, but Gillian and Michelle were worried about Matty turning against them at the Final 5. The next day, Kelly became wary of Bob and Marcus trying to convince the Fang members to flip. She assured Gillian and Michelle. That Gillian, Michelle, Kelly, and Jacquie were the Final 4. They believed Kelly completely. Paloma became more and more worried about her position in her alliance. Even though she had the idol, it couldn't help her at the Final 4. Bob and Marcus suspected that Paloma was on the outs and offered her an alliance. That made Paloma even more nervous. The next day, both Bob and Marcus wanted immunity desperately. At the immunity challenge, Kelly, Gillian, Bob, and Marcus got fire quickly, but Kelly's went out. Bob seemed to have to win in the bag, but out of nowhere Gillian got her fire to blaze, and she won immunity. Back at camp, Bob was worried that he was going home.

Once all of the blocks were properly stacked, the castaway would start a chain reaction which would release a flag. The first castaway to raise their flag would win.
