==Story==
===Day 31===
For the Reward Challenge, Jeff Probst revealed greetings from videos sent by the castaways' loved ones, leaving the castaways in tears. Jeff revealed that their loved ones will be an integral part of the challenge. Knowing her wife so well and vice versa, Lex van den Berghe's answers were almost identical down to the letter, winning an all-expense luxury hotel accommodation, using Jeff's own credit card. Jeff then revealed that Lex could bring one tribemate to join him, in which he invited Tom Buchanan. After Jeff jokingly begged them to go easy on his card, the two immediately boarded the airplane as the four other castaways went back to camp.
Upon reaching the hotel, Tom expressed his delight after seeing a bed and a toilet after a month. While enjoying the reward, they agreed to not divulge too much on how their reward went to their tribemates. Back at camp, the girls killed time by creating a deck of cards. At night, while Lex and Tom are eating a heavy meal, the other four castaways had no choice but to eat their usual corn mush for dinner.
===Day 32===
Lex and Tom (albeit hungover) were awakened by hotel doormen, telling them that they would have a hot air balloon ride as their last order of business. Upon seeing the picturesque Kenyan landscape, Tom declared, "This game brought me new life."
After the trip, the plane brought the two guys back to camp. Despite being happy when Tom and Lex returned, a distraught Ethan Zohn felt threatened that the two's full bellies will energize them for the upcoming Immunity Challenge. Teresa Cooper, on the other hand, became nervous about her and Kim Powers' fate, since they are the only two remaining members of the original Samburu tribe.
===Day 33===
At the Immunity Challenge, Kim Johnson accidentally broke her own pot, while Tom was unstoppable after hitting several of his tribemates' pots. After a close match between Tom and Kim J., Kim J. hit Tom's second pot, but Tom hit the latter's last pot, earning him immunity.
Back at camp, tribal lines were now questioned and an idea of a gender-based vote was considered. Meanwhile, Lex felt concerned about Teresa, stating she has "fire in her belly." "There's nothing more dangerous than a desperate animal," he added. Teresa on the other hand was trying to persuade Kim J. to vote challenge threat Lex out. Despite taking him after the last Reward Challenge, Tom still felt bitter towards Lex for trying to save Brandon Quinton six days previously. "I'm still irritated with Lex," Tom said. "I feel like Lex betrayed me," Tom said.
But at Tribal Council, the old Boran Alliance still held strong, and Kim P. was next to go in a 4-2 vote. This left Teresa as the last remaining member of the original Samburu tribe.
