==Story==
===Day 18===
La Nena had low energy levels, and all missed their loved ones back home. Christopher talked about his failed attempts to throw a challenge to both eliminate a Caletón threat and save Doug and Pegleg. Leilani believed that the Caletón tribe were more likely to have voted out Shai, as he had only been spared for his physical strength up to that point, and was generally seen as being untrustworthy.
On Caletón, Doug and Pegleg were surprised to have survived the vote, as they didn't fully trust Laurence or Shai to the extent that they did Nathan.
Lee found a crate full of milk bottles that had washed on the shores, inside each bottle was a letter from home addressed to each person in camp. Tinuke's was from her partner, Hannah's was from her family, Christopher's was from his brothers, Leilani's was from her son, Matthew's was from his parents and brother, Ashleigh's was from her fiance, Lee's was from his girlfriend. Everyone became emotional while reading their letters.
On Caletón, they also received the milk crate with letters. Pegleg's was from his partner, children, and grandchildren, Doug's was from his daughter, Laurence's was from his family, Shai's was from his niece, and Nathan's was from his wife and children.
After everyone read their letters, Christopher told Hannah and Lee about his plan to make sure more people were in on it. He explained his motivation for throwing the challenge, but instead of uniting the tribe, Lee was offended by Christopher's method of doing it, as Lee felt it was too obvious. Lee began raising his voice, saying Christopher should have told everyone beforehand.
The tribes meet at the immunity challenge, where Leilani was shocked to see that Jess had been voted out at the previous night, calling it "ruthless" and claiming she did not know who they were to vote her out. Despite this, Christopher smiled at Doug for saving himself. La Nena won fairly easily, sending Caletón back to Tribal Council.
The Caletón men were surprised by the reaction to Jess's elimination. Nathan, sensing that he was in trouble, decided to try and play as a swing vote, by painting Shai as untrustworthy in Doug and Pegleg's eyes. Laurence and Shai seemed to be between Nathan, as he was an outsider and physically strong, and Pegleg, as Doug may still work with them if they voted Pegleg out while Pegleg would not. To keep trust with Doug and Pegleg, Shai and Laurence decided to vote for Nathan.
Nathan proclaimed that he was voting Shai out no matter what, which Pegleg eventually began considering as he saw the long-term threat that Shai posed in the game. Nathan told Doug that Shai had lied to him to try and sway Doug over as Doug valued loyalty. Having taken his shot, Nathan hoped for the best. At Tribal Council, Doug and Pegleg decided that Nathan was more loyal and more useful down the road, so Shai was blindsided in a 3-2 vote.
