Odd One Out

Odd One Out is the fourth episode of .
==Story==
===Day 11===
Luzon returned to camp after voting out J'Tia Taylor to find their campfire still ablaze. Spencer Bledsoe hugged and thanked Kass McQuillen and Tasha Fox for saving him from the vote. Kass said that she'd had a gut feeling that keeping J'Tia would only send them back to Tribal again, so she'd switched the vote at the last minute. Spencer told them, "This could be the Final Three. The only thing between us and that is two entire tribes."
===Day 12===
The following morning, Luzon awoke and started cooking their rice when Tasha returned to camp with Tree Mail. The message informed them of a food Reward Challenge involving "kicking and screaming." As Tasha felt optimistic about the challenge – and hoped their decision to keep Spencer for his physicality – Luzon departed camp.
At the Reward Challenge, Jeff Probst welcomed in Aparri and Solana, who got their first glimpse of the new Luzon. Immediately, Jeff told the tribes to drop their buffs for a Tribe Switch and Dissolve into two new tribes. Jeff brought out a ball of wrapped packages, instructing each contestant to choose one. 
He then instructed everyone to open the package to reveal their new Buff – and new tribe. The entire Luzon tribe drew orange Buffs, whilst most of Aparri drew purple and Solana was split down the middle. The new tribes then assembled. The new Aparri consisted of Alexis, Jeremiah, Kass, Morgan, Sarah, Spencer, and Tasha. The new Solana tribe comprised Cliff, Jefra, Lindsey, LJ, Tony, Trish, and Woo.
						
						
Asked about being the only member of the Brawn tribe to remain on Aparri, Sarah said she thought she was the "odd one out" in her new tribe. Tasha, meanwhile, was excited for the fresh start, and felt the new Aparri would be strong in challenges. Meanwhile, Jefra was feeling outnumbered by Brawn on the new Solana, hoping that there would be challenge strength, but also an opportunity to find some cracks in the tribe for her and LJ to exploit. Cliff noted that the swap provided everyone with a choice to either stick with old alliances or form new ones.
Jeff then revealed the challenge: Kicking and Screaming. One person from each tribe would hang onto a large pole whilst two members of the opposing tribe would fight to pry them from the pole and then drag them to the finish line. The first tribe to win two rounds would win Reward in the form of coffee, doughnuts, chocolate-chip cookies, blueberry pastries, cinnamon rolls, and brownies.
In the first, all-female, round, Morgan and Sarah (for Aparri) took on Lindsey, whilst Jefra and Trish (for Solana) took on Tasha. Early on, Aparri gained the advantage with the women pulling Lindsey's arms free, then Morgan sitting on her whilst Sarah began work on her legs. Meanwhile, Tasha stayed locked tight on the pole, making it difficult for Jefra or Trish to get her loose. Although, Morgan and Sarah got Lindsey off the pole, she was able to grab back on and headlock Morgan with her legs, allowing time for Jefra and Trish to pry back Tasha's arms. However, Aparri managed to get Lindsey off the pole again and began inching her towards the finish line. Despite Lindsey getting to her feet, she was tackled by Sarah and Morgan who dragged her across the line to score the first point.
In the second round, the teams were comprised of two men and one woman. For Aparri, Jeremiah and Spencer aimed to drag Cliff from the pole, whilst LJ and Trish took on Alexis for Solana. Almost immediately, LJ and Trish pulled Alexis from the pole and began dragging her by her feet to the line. As Cliff chuckled whilst Jeremiah and Spencer struggled to even loose his arms, Alexis was easily dragged through the sand and over the line to even the score 1-1.
In the final round, the match-ups were again two men and one woman, with Lindsey and Tony taking on Sarah, and Jeremiah and Spencer again squaring off against Cliff. Solana managed to quickly pry Sarah from her pole as Aparri were able to dislodge Cliff's arms, with Jeremiah trying to keep him pinned down. Sarah fought hard to make up time, digging into the sand as Spencer fought to unwind Cliff's legs. Although he was able to do so, and Sarah continued to fight against her attackers, Tony and Lindsey were able to pull her across the line to win the challenge for the new Solana. Both tribes departed for their new homes.
At Solana, the tribe dug into their food reward and got to know each other. As Jefra correctly guessed that Lindsey was a hairstylist, and LJ guessed Woo to be a surf instructor, Boston-bred Trish discovered that LJ was a fellow Massachusetts native. Trish was excited by this shared connection, and the two continued to get to know each other discussing LJ's career as a horse trainer, and his revelation that he was single. As the two flirted, Lindsey looked on in disgust.
Meanwhile, Woo and Cliff discussed the good fortune they'd had with the swap in keeping five of the original Aparri together. However, Cliff noted his disappointment that they were still stuck with Trish, and in a confessional, revealed his uncertainty regarding her loyalty.
Meanwhile, the Sarah showed her new tribe around the Aparri beach. Strategically, she told the tribe that they had two bags of rice from the Day 1 twist, allowing the rest of the tribe to deduce that Garrett Adelstein had sought Luzon's Idol. This also served to blow up Morgan's lie, but she casually told her tribe that she'd taken the clue, but hadn't found the Hidden Immunity Idol.
The revelation shocked Alexis, who decided to "jump ship." She later approached Kass, Spencer, and Tasha, telling them that she had been close with Jefra and proposing a new four-strong alliance. She also divulged Jeremiah's alliance flip-flopping and Morgan's laziness, but the former Brains were suspicious of her desperation. Later, Morgan gossiped about Alexis behind her back, telling the Brains and Sarah that she'd been LJ's cuddle-partner and mocking her twerking. To complete the trifecta, Jeremiah also threw his former tribemates under the bus, telling Kass and Tasha that Morgan didn't trust him and he had a rocky relationship with Alexis, proposing that he be their fourth number. In confessionals, Spencer and Tasha reveled in their newfound power position.
Back at Solana, Jefra and Trish went for a walk to the well and discussed the intense storm they had survived several days earlier. When they were out of earshot, Trish told Jefra about her conflict with Lindsey and revealed Lindsey's alliance with Cliff. Jefra said she had a "shady feeling" about Cliff, and the two women agreed that they could try to vote him out. As they returned to camp, they passed Cliff, bidding him an innocent greeting, "Hey, hey, big man."
===Day 14===
The two tribes reconvened for the Immunity Challenge. Jeff took back the two Immunity Idols, discarding the smaller "little brother" and putting "Big Mama – or Papa" back up for grabs. Jeff then revealed the challenge: Gate Crasher. Six members of each tribe would use a large log to smash through two wooden walls before maneuvering the battering ram through a narrow table, by solving a maze etched into the surface of the log. The first tribe to solve the puzzle and ring the gong at the end of the course would win Immunity, whilst the losing tribe would head to Tribal Council. With both tribes needing to sit someone out, Solana chose to Trish on the bench, whilst Aparri debated the option until Alexis and Morgan squared off in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who was to sit out. Morgan lost and took her place, allowing the eager Alexis to compete.
Aparri made the first dent in their wall, but Solana quickly caught up. LJ and Tony broke through the splinters, enabling the tribe to gain a lead, allowing them to move on to the second gate. Meanwhile, Aparri, who were struggling to lift their ram high enough to break through the wall switched places to put Jeremiah and Spencer at the front. The change in strategy worked, getting them through their first gate as Solana worked on their second.
With a new burst of energy, Aparri quickly caught up to a weary Solana, breaking through their second wall with ease and crawling through the hole in the wall to come out of the gate neck-and-neck with Solana. Both tribes started the maze simultaneously with LJ and Tony solving the puzzle for Solana, and the Brains, led by Tasha, leading for Aparri. Solana made a big mistake, which Aparri also struggled with. However, Aparri recovered quickly and closed in on the end of the maze. Although Solana was close behind, Aparri finished their maze first and ran the ram into the gong to win Immunity. As Aparri celebrated (with Spencer congratulating the tribe on their communication), a baffled Tony asked, "How did that happen!?" As the tribes headed back to camp, Tony gave a confessional revealing the Brawn tribe's intentions to vote out LJ.
Back at the Solana camp, the tribe were baffled by their loss. LJ suspected that he was on the block, and made his case to Cliff, Lindsey, and Woo as a challenge asset. However, Cliff later talked with Lindsey, Tony, and Woo, confirming the plan to vote out LJ, with Woo rationalizing that he was more useful than LJ in the challenges and assuring a paranoid Lindsey that, despite Trish's sidling up to LJ, they had a solid plan.
LJ asked Trish if he was the target, and she told him that they couldn't be seen fraternizing, but she had his back. She suggested that they vote out Cliff, who was not on their side. She told LJ that she had Tony on her side, and the three of them, plus Jefra, would make a majority. LJ later asked if he could trust her, and she assured him, "We're ____ing Boston, okay?"
As Lindsey worried that Trish was going to flip on the Brawn tribe, Trish approached Tony about voting out Cliff – who she accused of being lazy and ignoring her, and argued was an Immunity threat at the merge, before sending home Lindsey (or, "ding-a-ling") next. Although he told Trish that he trusted her, he argued that it was more sensible to stick with the Brawn numbers and worried that they could get picked off if they fractured. Trish, however, insisted that Jefra and LJ were trustworthy.
When Cliff asked Tony what Trish had been saying to him, he answered that she'd been hoping that the Brawn stayed solid, and that he'd hammered home that they needed to stick together despite the changing dynamics. Cliff commented that he was confident because even if she flipped, she still wouldn't have the majority – and would be the next to go. Meanwhile, Jefra expressed concern to LJ regarding Tony's trustworthiness.
When Solana arrived at Tribal Council, the Brawn tribe collected and lit their torches as a thunderstorm poured. Jeff began by asking LJ about being outnumbered after the Tribe Switch. He answered that it was "very intimidating and very uncomfortable," comparing the situation to a couple selling their home to a group of people, and waiting to be dismissed. Asked if anything had changed given they still had the numbers, Cliff said it should have been simple to continue with Brawn, but noted that there would always be someone "who can't put their emotions aside." He emphasized that the game was about numbers at the end of the day. Woo revealed that Cliff was worried about someone flipping, but backed up the assertion that they had to trust in the numbers and "going against that is only going to put you in a bad situation."
Trish agreed that the vote was going to be a test of loyalty for the Brawn tribe, but countered that numbers were only important "if they're gonna work for you," and if not, then it was prudent to make other arrangements, prompting wide eyed glances from the former Aparri. Jefra said that this was just the news she and LJ needed, adding that the game was "all about risk and somebody's the bottom man in that five." Lindsey admitted that it was scary that LJ and Jefra had nothing to lose, but urged the Brawn tribe to remain unified as it was ultimately going to be the "five of us and the other tribe, eventually, together – not including Jefra and LJ."
Asked if finally coming to Tribal was cathartic, Cliff compared the experience to the NBA playoffs: "The series doesn't start until you lose a game." He added that the old Aparri hadn't been tested yet, but following the vote, they'd have those questions answered. Tony commented that Tribal would shift the game significantly, depending on which team came out on top.
Jeff then called the vote. Woo voted for LJ, with Lindsey and LJ casting their votes next. Jefra then cast her vote for Cliff, and was followed by Trish, Cliff, and finally Tony (who made his vote for "strategical" reasons). Jeff then tallied the votes.
After much deliberation, LJ chose not to play his Hidden Immunity Idol and Jeff read the votes. The first vote was for LJ, followed by a vote for Cliff. The next two votes were split again, to tie the tally at 2 for LJ and 2 for Cliff. A third vote for LJ was followed by yet another for Cliff, tying the score at 3-3 with one vote remaining. The final vote came up for Cliff, completely blindsiding Lindsey and Woo, who watched in horror as a surprised Cliff collected his torch. As his torch was snuffed, Cliff bid good luck to his former tribe and departed, becoming the fifth person voted out of . Jeff sent Solana back to camp, noting that they had, indeed, discovered where loyalties lay.
