== Story ==
=== Day 1 ===
6th January 2023, UTC
Escorted by a Cyclone, three houses, each containing six returning castaways, speed over the Rainbow to compete one more time. With only the clothes on their back, the castaways have no idea about their competitors, or of the journey about to unfold.
Host Essix then introduces the tribes. The Amor tribe, which will always wear silver, consists of Aiden, Cupid, Dyer, Esteban, Nicole, and Stud Muffin.
The Scientia tribe, which will always wear yellow, consists of Andrew, Drake, LnR, Ryan, Star, and Thighs.
The Virtus tribe, which will always wear red, consists of Amree, Dawn, Evie, Lazy, Motherlake, and The Bomber.
=== Day 2 ===
7th January 2023, UTC
Scientia has a rough start, as, to Andrew's concern, they cannot work as a group and he has "no confidence" in them. Andrew also takes notes of the pre-game relationships in the cast, either from past seasons of Essix's ORGs or other ORGs entirely. On Amor, Esteban similarly thinks about his experience playing with Aiden in a different ORG, and how they were both underdogs together. Esteban also worries about Evie and Nicole, a well-known duo on his season - Social Experiment II - becoming a threat if they meet up together at the merge.
Back on Scientia, Drake expresses frustration at nobody on his tribe talking, thinking that no one is enthusiastic enough. However, this was simply Drake being overdramatic about timezone availability. Drake also begins to delusionally think he is becoming a social butterfly after having small talk with LnR. He also lies to LnR, claiming to live in Iceland and not being able to go outside due to the extreme cold. However, Drake is caught out in his lie and admits it when confronted.
== Challenge ==
Challenge: Codenames
Each tribe will collaborate to identify specific words on a 6x6 board. The game proceeds in three rounds, with each tribe having a different number of squares on the board. The tribe with 9 squares goes first, followed by the tribe with 8 squares, and finally the tribe with 7 squares. Additionally, there are 9 neutral squares and 1 death square on the board. Points are earned for each correct guess, while neutral squares end your turn. One player from each tribe acts as the Spymaster, who knows the entire board, while the rest of the tribe members act as Guessers with blank boards. In each round, the Spymaster provides a one-word clue to their tribe, helping them identify their words. For example, if your tribe's words include "boat" and "car," a suitable clue might be "vehicle, 2." The number indicates how many words the clue applies to, and you have a limited number of clues each turn. If you guess a word for the opposing tribe, they gain a point. The first two tribes to find all their words win immunity. Spymasters must not communicate with their tribe during the challenge and will play from a private channel.

==Tribal Council==
When the discussions began, LnR and Thighs seemed to be the targets - both of them due to poor social game. However, as LnR started to speak more, Thighs fell behind socially and was left out of the Madonna alliance chat - consisting of Andrew, Drake, and Ryan. Ultimately, Thighs was voted out after he lost the challenge as the tribe's Spymaster. Additionally, Ryan felt close to LnR; bluffed to the Madonna alliance that LnR had an idol, causing a unanimous vote on Thighs. Andrew, to complete of the third and final part of the Emerald Trials, abstained from voting.
