==Story==
===Day 6===
Caletón woke up in better spirits having defeated La Nena for the first time in the previous immunity challenge. Laurence stripped naked on the beach in an homage to Richard Hatch. Meanwhile on La Nena, the tribe reflected on having to go to Tribal Council and vote out Sabrina. Lee told Rach and Hannah about how he believed strength was vital for the tribe to succeed down the road, which annoyed Rach.
Rach told Ashleigh and Ren about what Lee had said to her, and they all believed Lee would be the first man gone due to his sour attitude and how he tends to target people on the tribe who aren't men. Back at camp Lee told Christopher and Doug that voting should always be about who is the weakest physically, and that that makes the men automatically allies. Doug seemed hesitant but Lee insisted he was not dividing by gender lines, and it was purely on the grounds of physical strength.
Tree Mail arrives and it advises both tribes to select one tribemate to go to "the outpost", this person had to be considered the tribe's "quickest thinker". Laurence was voted to go for Caletón while Ren volunteered to go for La Nena.
At the outpost, the tribe members had to make a choice between three rewards: a large fish for the tribe, a small fish for the tribe with the clue to a Hidden Immunity Idol that they must share with another tribe member, and a baked potato for the tribe with a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol that they could keep for themselves.
Laurence returned with the large fish and told Caletón the truth, as he didn't want news of the idol getting out and causing chaos in the tribe. Despite this, he told them what all three options were, including the part about the idol. Ren took the small fish, and told La Nena that they had to choose between fish and a small bag of rice. Their tribe seemed to buy Ren's lie.
While Ren was gone Lee grew suspicious of the fish Ren brought back, believing it was not good enough to be a reward implimented by the show. Meanwhile, Ren shared the clue with Doug and told him what her options actually were. After sharing the clue, they disposed of the note by ripping it up and burying it.
===Day 7===
At the Immunity Challenge, Caletón beat La Nena by not letting any of their tribe members drop. After winning the challenge, Christopher asked Laurence details about the outpost and the fish Ren had brought back. Laurence told him about the different options, and that the fish was smaller, leading Christopher to distrust Ren.
Lee targeted Ashleigh and Rach as he believed that they were the weakest compared to the men, Hannah, and Ren's close relationship with Doug spared them from the discussion. Lee and Pegleg talked to Ashleigh at the water well, telling her that her and Rach were on the chopping block. Ashleigh said she'd think about voting out Rach, despite the fact that the two had become very close. Ashleigh and Rach then spoke on the shores, warning her that they may have to vote eachother out due to Lee targeting them both.
Lee then confessed to the tribe that as Rach was a personal trainer, he felt she was more at fault than Ashleigh for struggling in the challenges, arguing that she was not putting in enough effort.
At Tribal Council, the tribe reflected on their challenge strategy failing. Lee says he underestimated other people's ability, and that the loss was no fault of his own. Rach and Ashleigh argued by saying that Lee's strategy hindered the tribe's ability and brought up the topic of gender roles and the implicit sexism leading to them being targeted, which Lee fiercely denied.
Before reading the votes, Joel asked the tribe if anyone was in possession of a Hidden Immunity Idol for the first time this season, to the surprise of a few tribemates. In the end, both Rach and Ashleigh were forced to turn on each other, and Rach was voted out in a 5-3 vote.
