==Story==
===Day 3 (Night)===
The seven remaining Tambaqui men return to camp, having just voted their first member from the game. Isaiah speaks loudly to his tribe mates, thanking them for siding with him, as well as reinforcing his beliefs that Jody was untrustworthy.
Ceri stands quietly, looking down at the fire as he processes the events of the evening. Several of the tribe members climb into the shelter, wanting to rest after a long evening at tribal council. Kennedy joins Ceri by the fire, wanting to clarify what caused the pair to end up in the minority at the first vote.
===Day 4===
===Jaburu===
The women begin their day working around their camp, having improved their shelter during the earlier hours of the day. Delma, Jayla and Edweena work on collecting firewood for the tribe, whilst Veronica cooks up some manioc flour. Karyn remains in the shelter, still mentally and physically feeling unable to fully immerse herself into the game. Once a large enough pile of wood is collected, Delma begins to question the whereabouts of the other three tribe members.
Over in the shallow waters of Jaburu camp, the three younger women sit and bathe one another, wanting to keep their hygiene and looks in check. The girls joke about wanting to look good for the boys of Tambaqui, feeling it is "strategy" to distract them in challenges.
The rain begins to pour down over Jaburu, forcing the three younger women to return to camp, where they find their tribe has already begun eating without them, leaving their three portions of manioc flour in the tribes somewhat rain covered pan.
Subira walks over and picks up her now drenched manioc pancake, tossing it over into Delma's lap, telling her to eat it instead and that she is "over the meal". Delma becomes infuriated that Subira would throw the food at her, causing the two to continue arguing whilst the others watch on. Eventually the pair stop arguing, sitting at opposite sides of the shelter and the girls try and stay out of the rain. The tribe remain in the shelter until the rain passes, leaving them in a very silent and awkward state.
===Tambaqui===
The men decide to work around camp, particularly in looking for food, having become tired of manioc flour based meals. Fredrick, Mayson and Sheamus go to the shallow water and attempt to use small insects as bait for the fish, although with little success.
Sheamus eventually manages to catch a small fish, although it comes loose as he attempts to pull it from the water, much to his frustration.
Back at camp, the other four men sit around tending the fire and boiling a pot of water. Ceri and Hall make an effort to continue sheltering the fire, worried that it may soon rain due to the condition of the clouds.
A downpour suddenly occurs over the camp, forcing the entire tribe to rush back to the shelter in order to try and remain dry. Ceri ensures that the fire remains well sheltered, not wanting to lose the groups main source of survival. All seven of the men huddle together under the shelter, waiting several hours for the rain to let up.
===Day 5===
Challenge: Flip Out
Each tribe must designate a caller. The rest of the tribe members are blindfolded, and the caller must guide their tribemates so they can retrieve 30 designated giant puzzle pieces surrounded by obstacles. Once all 30 pieces are collected, the tribe members must remove their blindfolds and work together to solve the puzzle. First tribe to solve the puzzle wins reward.
Reward: Jar of fish bait

===Jaburu===
The women return to camp after their first loss, all feeling disappointed in the result. Edweena apologises to the group, feeling somewhat responsible due to being the tribes caller. Delma assures Edweena that the loss wasn't her fault, instead blaming the groups inability to follow orders.
Delma suggests to the tribe that they get to work around camp, not wanting to let the loss effect their tribe morale. Delma decides to invite both Veronica and Subira to come fishing with her, telling Subira it will give them an opportunity to sort out any ill feelings between them. Subira hesitantly accepts, joining the pair as they head off on the tribes boat.
The duo talk out their issues whilst fishing, trying to understand both their sides and how they can move forward. Subira apologises for throwing the manioc pancake, whilst Delma apologises for leaving their food in the rain. Both women hug and make up, but Subira is seen rolling her eyes as she does so.
Subira leans over the boat to check on her line, giving Veronica and Delma a quick moment to look at one another. Veronica shakes her head, trying to let Delma know that she feels Subira is being disingenuous.
Back at camp, Edweena, Jayla and Karyn sit by the fire, talking about the loss and what they feel the fish bait could have done for their survival. Jayla mentions her concerns that if the tribe loses again that the boys will have gained momentum. Karyn tells them not to worry, as she knows if the group lose that she will be voted out, giving the others a "free pass". 
 
In the shelter, both Neasa and Jenn sit folding the tribes recently washed clothes. Jenn begins talking about life back home, but is quickly shushed by Neasa, who can overhear the conversation by the fire. Both women stand behind cover listening, with their mouths hanging wide open upon hearing how openly Edweena is discussing the vote.
===Tambaqui===
The men return to camp having just become victorious in the first reward challenge, earning themselves bait to aid with fishing. Sheamus and Fredrick head off to the water to make first use of the bait, with the other five members remaining at camp to work on gathering any dry firewood.
Kennedy and Ceri stand together in the woods talking about their feelings towards the tribe, hoping that in time something will come up to give them both a better shot at staying in the game.
Out in the boat, Fredrick and Sheamus sit together fishing with the newly won tribe bait, hoping that it will enable them to bring back fish for their tribe members. The pair spend over an hour on the boat, giving them an ample opportunity to bond without the interruption of the rest of their tribe.
Fredrick and Sheamus bring the boat back to camp, carrying three decent sized fish with them. The tribe celebrate the catch, glad to see that the bait has come in handy. Hall and Isaiah descale and prepare the fish for the tribe, with each member getting a satisfying portion to enjoy for their evening meal. The group thank Sheamus and Fredrick, who in turn insist that it was down to the bait rather than any "skill" of their own.
===Day 6===
The tribes head to the next challenge, hoping to avoid tribal council, knowing that keeping numbers in the game will benefit them further on. 
 
Challenge: Total Recall
Both tribes will be given two minutes to observe a traditional Amazon home. After the two minutes are up, Jeff will ask the tribe a series of questions about the Amazon home.

===Jaburu===
The women of Jaburu return to camp having just lost the second immunity challenge, all heading over to their shelter in order to come to terms with the loss, knowing that for one of them it will be their final few hours in the Amazon.
The girls all individually hug Karyn, wishing her goodbye before departing for tribal council. With no apparent strategy needed, Delma suggests that the women collect firewood so that there is enough waiting for when they return to camp. Edweena and Veronica accompany Delma, leaving the others standing around the shelter. 
Neasa speaks with Subira and Jenn, wanting to try and influence Karyn to stay in the game. The girls discuss that possibility that the move could backfire, but also note that if they are successful they'll be able to take control of their tribe.
Jenn takes Karyn off away from the shelter under the guise of a "private goodbye", leaving Jayla with Subira and Neasa back at camp. Subira continuously speaks about her dislike of Delma, trying to hint that the tribe would be better off without her. Jayla however remains distant, not wanting to engage in such a conversation unnecessarily due to the supposed departure of Karyn.
Karyn begins listening to Jenn's pitch, which entails her staying in the game and voting out Delma at tribal council, stating that it will benefit the tribes harmony and allow them to be more successful. Karyn claims that she feels ready to leave, and doesn't see what she will bring to the tribe.
Eventually, all the women reassemble around the shelter, grabbing their things before heading off to tribal council.
The eight women light their torches before taking their seats at tribal council, smiling over at Jeff as he begins to ask what has gone wrong for them the past three days. Veronica blames the losses on the lack of unity at camp, openly discussing the problems between Subira and Delma, as well as some of the friction between the younger and older women. Jenn interjects, claiming that the friction is down to attitude differences, feeling that the older women haven't been "inclusive", which is quickly laughed down by Veronica. Subira mentions her frustrations at the issues, but claims that she and Delma have since made amends. Jayla is asked about being in the middle of the two groups, and whether she feels a harmonious camp is possible. Jayla explains her doubts at harmony, claiming that if it weren't for Karyn asking to be voted out that there would be more efforts made by both sides to gain her vote.
Jayla's comments gather a big reaction from the older women, speculating that Jayla is hinting towards an effort made by the younger women to switch up the vote. Before anyone can question each other, Jeff begins to probe Karyn about her position in the game, asking if she is "quitting". Karyn states that in a sense she is throwing in the towel, but still wishes to leave via a vote, not wanting to willingly lay down her torch after fighting hard to get a place on the season.
Jenn begins to blush as she is questioned by Jeff on what conversations went down between herself and Karyn. Although both Jenn and Karyn refuse to name who the attempted target was, the older women begin to look at one another, concerned that they may need to make a strike against the younger women rather than to stick with the original plan. Jeff commends the openness of discussion of a tribal council that initially seemed "set in stone". He asks the women if anyone has any further points to add, but everyone assures him that they are ready to vote. Once the urn is collected, Karyn picks up her bag, not wanting to waste any time before heading out of the game.
Karyn smiles and hugs several tribe members goodbye, leaving the tribal council area quickly after her torch is snuffed. Despite the simplicity and unity of the vote, the women return to camp with uneasy emotions, knowing that the battles between the younger and older women has simply been postponed rather than prevented.
