==Story==
===Night 11===
After Jimmy T.'s elimination, Holly was visibly worried. 
Despite liking the guy, the Espada females felt remorse by eliminating a strong player like Jimmy T., and they thought Dan should have gone home instead. 
===Day 12===
At Espada, Marty celebrated Jimmy T.'s ouster: 
Assuring alliance partner Dan that Jane and Holly (who voted Dan last Tribal Council) will be going next, Marty bragged: 
Over at the younger La Flor tribe, NaOnka boasted her good position in the game. Having La Flor's Hidden Immunity Idol and aligned with the majority alliance with Sash, Brenda, Chase, and Purple Kelly, she felt in control. 
The tribes convened for what they thought was their next challenge, until host Jeff Probst surprised the castaways. 
The tribes were to draw rocks and the two people with colored rocks (yellow representing La Flor and blue for Espada) will be "captains." Brenda and Holly picked their respective colored rocks, thus giving them power of which members of the opposing tribe will join them. Brenda picked Jane, Jill, and Marty to join the new La Flor tribe. Holly chose Benry, Alina, NaOnka and Chase to join the new Espada tribe, with the rest are to stay on their original tribes. Jeff then takes Medallion of Power and declares it retired. The new tribes then competed in their first Reward Challenge.
							
							
After a series of closely fought match-ups, Marty dropped La Flor's last ball, winning reward for the new Espada tribe, earning them three chickens and a rooster.
Upon reaching camp, the new Espada tribe (consisted of Chase, Alina, NaOnka, Benry, Yve, Tyrone, Dan, and Holly) made their introductions. Disappointed of the tribe switch, Tyrone mumbled: 
Later, Tyrone laid down the tribes' camp rules, irking the new members. 
NaOnka also commented that she doesn't like being told what to do.
Feared that she might be next had the original tribe affiliations were still intact, Holly was persistent of getting to know 'the kids.' During a conversation, Holly confessed that they remind her kids back home. A more jovial Holly revealed: 
Feeling closer to them than with her old tribe, Holly was encouraged to join forces with the new members should they go to Tribal Council. 
Holly's flipping sides somewhat caused former La Flor rivals NaOnka and Alina to settle their differences, and the two somewhat reconciled.
Over at the new La Flor tribe, Marty felt appreciated for picking him to join their tribe. Fabio (an outsider to NaOnka's former alliance) revealed: 
Though they used to have rules back at the old Espada, Marty, Jill, and Jane were informed by Brenda that La Flor's work ethic was more laid back with no real leader, yet still organized. 
Jane then approached Kelly S. and Brenda and told told them not to trust Jill and Marty and they must vote them out immediately.
Later that day, Marty interrogated the original La Flors about the Hidden Immunity Idol hidden at camp. Not much had been revealed, but Fabio revealed that NaOnka had tackled Kelly B. for the second clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol. Marty then berated the younger members for letting NaOnka run away with the clue that easily and then proceeded on revealing his own Hidden Immunity Idol to the others. Irked by Marty's arrogance, Brenda complained: 
===Day 13===
Despite being known for having swagger, NaOnka became emotional while shivering in the rain. Without the tarp they used to have back at La Flor to protect them, the new members of Espada suffered badly during the torrential downpour. NaOnka confessed to Alina that she was reaching her breaking point, even contemplating on voluntarily leaving the competition. Although she tried to comfort NaOnka, Alina realized that if NaOnka did quit, she will have lesser competition for the million dollars. 
The heavy rain went on until nighttime, which made NaOnka's condition even worse.
===Day 14===
The two new tribes convened for their next Immunity Challenge. Kelly B., Purple Kelly, and Brenda are strapped on the wheel for La Flor, with Alina, Holly, and Yve for Espada. Sash, Jill, and Marty spun the wheel for La Flor, and Dan, NaOnka, and Chase spun for Espada.
At the challenge proper, both tribes approached the challenge differently. La Flor kept spinning their wheel faster, leaving the girls almost consistently missing the chute. Espada, on the other hand, spun theirs slowly to give leeway for the girls to collect more water and to accurately hit the chute. Espada was first to drop their ball, thus creating a small lead. La Flor managed to catch up, with Fabio breaking their last tile. After a closely-contested match, La Flor won Immunity, sending Espada to Tribal Council. As Espada left the challenge area, NaOnka confessed: 
Back at Espada camp, NaOnka protested: 
Hungry after the challenge, the tribe had a group meeting about eating one chicken before Tribal Council. Self-proclaimed leader Tyrone was against the proposition, for it cuts the chances of the chickens producing eggs in the future. Holly was against it. 
Though Tyrone was outvoted, the tribe was irked when Tyrone actually ate the brunt of the chicken. 
Alina also got angry since she still felt hunger pangs. Benry, Alina, Holly and Chase started to weigh their options of which between the ailing NaOnka or the inconsiderate Tyrone should go home.
At Tribal Council, the new members revealed their disappointments about Tyrone's harsh leadership, which Tyrone felt he was misunderstood. NaOnka on the other hand expressed being doubtful about her desire to continue on the game. Yve and Tyrone voted for NaOnka, while the rest voted for Tyrone. Ultimately, Tyrone's iron fist leadership made him the fifth person to be eliminated from .
==Challenges==
<tabber>Reward=Challenge: Don't Let Your Balls DropTwo members of each tribe will throw a ball that will roll down a wall bouncing and changing direction along the way. Two members of the other tribe must work together to catch those balls as they come down the wall. If a ball hits the ground then the other tribe scores a point, that round is over and the next pairs compete. The first tribe to score three points wins reward.Reward: Two hens and a roosterWinner: |-|Immunity=Challenge: Spit It OutThree members from each tribe would be strapped to a large wheel. Three other tribe members would spin the wheel, which would cause one strapped in castaway at a time to be dunked head first into water. While under water, the castaway would take water in the mouth, which they would then spit into a tube. Once the tube was filled, a ball would be released. The ball would be used by two other tribe members to break five tiles. The first tribe to break all five tiles would win.Winner: </tabber>
