==Story==
===Night 6===
The David tribe quietly returns to camp from Tribal Council after blindsiding Jessica.
Davie pulls Christian aside to ask why he betrayed him. Christian understands Davie's frustrations but he explains it was Gabby who convinced him and Nick to flip on Jessica. After his conversation with Davie, Christian runs to Nick to congratulate him on the success of their "Mason-Dixon" alliance.
Carl sits alone by the beach and turns emotional over the loss of his close ally and daughter figure in Jessica; which makes him miss home more.
===Day 7===
Sunrise at the David camp, Bi expresses to Carl her displeasure for being blindsided. The two lobby to Nick to vote out Gabby next believing it was her who orchestrated last night's vote.
At the Goliath tribe, John puts the new fishing gear that they won from the last challenge to good use. He returns to camp with fish, to the tribe's delight. With him and his tribe having a good time, John is glad to be known as himself and not as his professional wrestler self.
The tribe's fun moment is ruined by Natalie when she abrasively barks orders at her tribemates to do camp chores. John, however, is confident he can work with and trust Natalie.
Mike assists Jeremy in his own attempt to use the fishing spear. In their trip, Jeremy shares to Mike that fishing reminds him of his with his father who has early-onset Bi and how they used to fish early in the morning. In turn, Mike has kind words for the attorney, but in his confessional, Mike is skeptical about the idea of playing with Jeremy long-term especially after he went through everyone's belongings just to know who might have the Hidden Immunity Idol.
===Day 8===
At the David tribe, Gabby asks Christian the basics of Slamtown. Being her fellow intellectual, Gabby is convinced Christian is her ride-or-die ally.
Bi, Davie, Elizabeth, and Nick are out at sea to fish. While Elizabeth is underwater spearfishing, Bi continues her campaign against Gabby. Unknown to her, however, while Gabby was in the plan in blindsiding Jessica, it was Nick and Christian who were the actual swing votes then. Nick is pleased by Bi being misinformed but is also worried that he might lose Christian's trust knowing Christian is also close with Gabby.
At the Goliath tribe, Jeremy becomes paranoid upon seeing multiple side conversations around camp that he is not a part of. He holds a tribe meeting, warning the tribe that these small talks will sow distrust within the tribe and could hurt them come a tribe swap or merge. Most of the tribe sees through Jeremy's paranoia.
Later, seeing Dan and Kara bonding at the beach, Jeremy proceeds to tell everyone he found the idol in Dan's belongings and insists that one of the two should go next flush out the idol.
===Day 9===
Under heavy rains, the survivors arrive at the next Immunity Challenge in which Jeff Probst is amazed by their enthusiasm despite the harsh weather. After explaining the rules of the challenge, Jeff informs them they are also playing for reward: pillows, blankets, hammocks, and chairs. With two extra members, the Goliaths bench Angelina and Natalia.
Alec and Bi are the first to run for their tribes. Alec gets tangled up, allowing Bi to take a short lead for the Davids. Bi injures herself and hobbles her way back to the mat, giving Alec time to close the gap for the Goliaths. Davie, Lyrsa and Nick, and Jeremy Kara, and Mike are out to untangle the next set of ropes where both trios end at the same time. Carl and Elizabeth face Dan and John then compete to land their ring on the sled with the puzzle pieces. John is successful first, allowing the Goliaths to drag the sled to their mat so Alison and Natalie can start solving the puzzle. Not long after, Elizabeth hooks her ring on the David's sled. As Alison and Natalie struggle to solve the puzzle, Christian and Gabby complete theirs, securing the David tribe its first immunity win, sending the Goliaths to their first Tribal Council. After the loss, Natalia states Angelina would have done better at the challenge and implies Natalie should have given the challenge to those who can do it.
The David tribe returns to camp after winning their first Immunity Challenge, but Bi does not have much to celebrate as she sprained her knee at the challenge.
At the Goliath camp, Natalie admits to Jeremy she is to blame for the loss but pleads to him to help her stay. Having been candid to each other as African-Americans, Jeremy bluntly tells Natalie how she comes off across everyone and helping her out would be "an uphill battle."
Alison vents her frustration to Angelina on Natalie's inability to solve the puzzle and is willing to vote her out for it. Angelina, however, introduces the idea of sparing Natalie over Jeremy, explaining that Natalie is not a threat to anyone, but Jeremy is. Angelina strongly pitches to Alison to reconsider.
As Angelina secretly launches her campaign against Jeremy, Mike is adamant in voting Natalie because she is a liability at challenges and a demoralizer at camp. Later, Natalia and Alec argue that come a tribe switch, Natalie could switch loyalties, but Angelina explains Jeremy is the better talker and has more capacity to betray them than Natalie will.
At the beach, Jeremy attempts to talk to Kara and John, but Natalie shows up, insisting she has to talk to them without Jeremy's presence. Kara offers to join Natalie, but Jeremy interrupts them.
The Goliath enters Tribal Council on a rainy night. Angelina describes the first nine days as harsh, while Mike admits his standards of comfort had gone so low even as going far as treating a basket like a pillow. As the rains intensify, Jeremy calls out Natalie and her flaws. Natalie fires back at Jeremy, describing his tone to her as just as rude as how he perceives her. Dan agrees with Natalie being seen as bossy and confrontational; with Natalie saying she is open to criticism. Everyone chimes in to express their perception of Natalie most of which are negative. Natalia explains the game is about choosing the right people to work with down the line. Natalie interjects, saying she is not a threat but Jeremy is. Jeremy states Natalie is a liability in challenges and a possible traitor come a tribe switch. Natalie swears she is "Goliath strong", and would never betray her tribe. In the end, Jeremy's paranoia catches up with him, making him the second person voted out of in a unanimous 9-1 vote.
