==Story==
===Night 11===
As the new Nakúm tribe returns to camp from Tribal Council, a betrayed Margaret Bobonich confronts Judd Sergeant over crossing old tribal lines in voting out Brooke Struck. Judd, however, explains his actions by saying that it is a cutthroat game for a million dollars and he does not care what everyone else thinks of him after Tribal Council. Judd considers voting out Margaret next.
===Day 12===
The sun rises on Yaxhá, and Blake Towsley is sitting alone by the water, thinking about his time in the jungles of Guatemala. He feels secure in this new tribe after the tribe switch, due to there being himself and the three other tribe members who came from Nakúm. At camp, a large beetle lands directly on Amy O'Hara, which causes her to freak out and try to swat at it. Brandon Bellinger gives a confessional about in his daily life in Kansas, he's used to living with the hicks and rednecks that live on the farms, and not someone like Amy. Amy asks about how the process of growing wheat is done, which Bobby Jon Drinkard replies that the wheat seeds are placed in the ground and planted, and how the land is tilled. Asked about what brand of tractors and equipment they use, even the Ivy League student Brian Corridan pipes in with the other guys with John Deere.
At the Reward Challenge, Jeff Probst informs Yaxhá of Brooke being voted out. Jeff talks about how hot it's been since the tribes first started playing, then goes over the rules of the challenge. Both tribes are excited to see margaritas, chips, and guacamole dip, but shocked when Probst adds in a floating croc-proof swimming cage. Brandon quickly flies through the first two ropes with a sharp stone. Bobby Jon is hacking away at the log with a machete, while Jamie Newton is still trying to cut away at the rope. Yaxhá races to the top of the platform, with a huge lead. Danni Boatwright chops the rope, and Yaxhá fly by on the cart while Jamie is still working on the rope. In particular, Bobby Jon throws his legs high in the air while on the cart, whooping and hollering, as it races down to the finish. 
Returning to camp, Yaxhá is absolutely shocked to see how well constructed their swimming cage is, and they excitedly run towards it to inspect it. Amy in particular was blown away by the size of it, and the lounge chairs as well. Brandon feels good about winning this reward for his tribe, speaking in confessional about giving his 110%. Tribe spirits are exceptionally high at the moment, as Brian plainly states in confessional that Yaxhá is on cloud nine right now.
Over on Nakúm, Jamie is absolutely distraught and down on himself after losing reward for his tribe. Judd tries cheering everyone up, but it falls on deaf ears with Cindy Hall. Stephenie LaGrossa was not happy to see Bobby Jon celebrating like he did and wants to knock him out, talking in confessional about how his cheering like a girl grates her nerves. She does break down emotionally during the confessional, stating that she doesn't want to cry in front of her tribemates, and how much it sucks to lose. Torrential rain soaks Nakúm's camp as Stephenie continues her confessional that she feels constantly defeated and that she's always on a tribe that flat-out sucks, though she hesitates when she says that. 
===Night 13 & Day 14===
Yaxhá are huddled under an umbrella while the torrential rain comes through, except Blake and Brian, who seem to be sleeping under a dry spot in the shelter. Amy talks about how the tribe talks about how Blake is a "golden boy" who's always got a great story to tell.
Brian has come up with a new game, called "Bait Blake", where he's simply poking at Blake to ask him about certain things that would make Blake sound like a fool or better than everyone else, and so far it seems to be working.
Tree Mail arrives at Nakúm, and Stephenie and Lydia bring it back to camp with her. An object is included that appears to be some sort of flail attached to a rope. Stephenie talks about how she badly wants to snap this losing streak she's on. Lydia Morales channels her inner Mighty Mouse, singing her version of "Here I Come To Save The Day", cutting up some food, and doing the "pancake dance" while trying to lift the tribe's spirits, and it appears to be working.
At the Immunity Challenge, Probst talks about how important teamwork will be to win this challenge, where the first tribe that catches five balls wins the Immunity Idol. Brian and Lydia are the designated launchers. Yaxhá scores the first point in the challenge, but Nakúm steal a point from Blake. Lydia launches a perfect shot right into one of the Nakúm baskets for their second point, but Yaxhá ties the score at two apiece. Nakúm takes the lead again, and steal another point, giving them a 4-2 lead. Lydia launches another ball far to the left, and Nakúm barely manage to catch it, winning immunity. Jamie quickly gets back at Bobby Jon after the Reward Challenge on Day 12, screaming "Who's smilin' now!?", and Bobby Jon looks visibly angry at Jamie's taunting.
Yaxhá, not happy about the loss, are sulking around camp. Brian points out that there's four old Nakúm members to 3 old Yaxhá members, and he hopes that he won't be the odd man out when Yaxhá goes to Tribal Council later that night. Brian and Gary Hogeboom talk about wanting to get rid of Blake, and they quickly agree on it being the plan. Gary goes to Bobby Jon and talks about the idea of voting out Blake. Bobby Jon talks in confessional that he feels it isn't the right time to vote someone out to whom he gave his word. Gary later goes to Danni and Amy with the same idea. Danni thinks about it in confessional, and goes off to talk with Brandon about the tribe is beginning to think about voting Blake out. Brandon, however, openly tells Danni that he doesn't feel comfortable voting for Blake. As the day goes on, Blake tells another story about his life, which Danni feels is straight out of a college fraternity and she's slowly getting sick of it, and also in confessional, talks about hating being the swing vote as it's a part of this game she doesn't feel comfortable with being. 
At Tribal Council, Probst greets Yaxhá and asks about the storm from the night before. Gary answers that it was a character building night, pointing out that Blake and Brian were still in the shelter sleeping while the remainder of the tribe huddled by the fire to try and keep it alive. As Blake is speaking, Amy shouts out "Golden Boy", and the tribe laughs. Blake confirms Probst's assumption that Golden Boy is his nickname around camp. Probst correctly points out that Blake was gasping for air after the 11-mile hike at the start of the game. Gary and Amy both talk about the tribe switch, simply stating that the numbers disadvantage doesn't exist to them and that they're going to be loyal to this new tribe. Bobby Jon answers Probst's question of how tough this vote will be, saying that every Tribal Council vote is tough on him, and that he doesn't want to end somebody's dreams, instead wanting to keep dreams alive. Probst closes discussions and the tribe votes. Blake may have been a huge help to the success of Yaxhá, but his obnoxious demeanor around camp would be his downfall, as he was blindsided in a 5-2 vote.
