==Story==
===Day 30 (Night)===
The tribe enjoy the final few moments of their sudden day off, with Hall's evacuation causing the cancellation of the scheduled tribal council. Isaiah and Jenn both lay asleep in the shelter, whilst the other four sit up talking, coming to terms with the serious nature of Hall's departure.
Neasa is seen rolling her eyes at Sheamus, not completely believing Mayson's supposed claims of kindness towards voting Hall out of the game.
===Day 31===
The tribe arise early from the shelter due to the heavy downpour of rain that has been taking place since the early hours of the morning. Several tribe members rush around to place the wood in its shelter, wanting to ensure that it is dry for the fire later on.
In the shelter, Jenn sits folded into her knees as she cries, complaining due to being unable to stay dry. Neasa and Isaiah try to comfort her, not wanting to see the rain crush any of their spirits.
Isaiah waves his hand in Jenn's face before walking off, irritated with her complaining over the weather. Neasa continues rubbing Jenn's back, wanting to help her friend through the difficult period.
Mayson and Fredrick go to collect tree mail together, trying their best to shield themselves from the rain. Whilst alone, Mayson asks Fredrick what his thoughts are on the future of the game, to which Fredrick claims to be in support of an "all-male final four".
Isaiah interrupts the pair mid conversation, walking over in an irritated state.
After the rain dies down, the group head off to their next reward challenge. Jeff informs the final six that they will be taking part in a challenge consisting of multiple components, which each staged designed to eliminate a select number of players from the challenge. The group are told that they will be competing for love from home, causing Jenn to break down in tears, admitting that she is in "dire need" of a visit from a family member. As the challenge commences, the six race through mounds of sand in order to find one of four available paddles for the canoes. The four men are the first to discover the paddles, eliminating both the girls from the challenge. Jenn once again breaks down crying, as the men race out onto the water in their boats. Fredrick immediately struggles with the balance, tipping out of his boat, leaving him with no option but to swim. The other three men take the lead, taking a puzzle bag corresponding to their preferential answer to the trivia question. During the paddle back to shore, Isaiah tips out of his boat, forcing him to swim the rest of the way. Unsurprisingly, Mayson and Sheamus reach the two puzzle stations first, revealed to be right in their trivia guesses, eliminating Fredrick and Isaiah from the competition. Due to the small head start, Mayson is able to finish his puzzle first, earning him a visit from a loved one over a one hour picnic.
Challenge: Paddle
The six contestants must dig up a paddle hidden beneath a group of sand mounds. Once they do that, they take one of four local canoes, paddle to a floating crate, read the multiple choice trivia question, choose the bag corresponding to the correct answer, paddle to the other side of the river, open the bag at one of two solving stations, and solve the Anaconda puzzle (if the wrong answer was chosen, the pieces will be black, and players must return). First to solve the puzzle wins.
Reward: One-hour loved ones visit and a shared picnic.
Additional Stipulation: Revealed after the challenge, the winner could give up visit so the others could all have ten minutes with their loved one at a shared picnic.
Winner: Mayson (opted not to give up for the tribe)

As the other five depart camp, Mayson's wife Heather is brought into the challenge area, running over and hugging her husband as the pair of them break down. Heather laughs at the length of Mayson's beard, telling him that he looks a mess.
Back at camp, the five challenge losers sit around coming to terms with Mayson's decision not to grant them time with their own loved ones. Jenn appears the most obviously in a bad mood, with her sadness at the challenge now evolving into deep anger aimed towards Mayson.
Later that evening, Mayson returns to camp to find a majority of the group sleeping. Neasa sits awake alone by the fire, asking Mayson how his reward was as he sits down opposite her. Mayson tells Neasa about his day, before requesting to "talk game" with her and Jenn the following day, which Neasa agrees to.
===Day 32===
Mayson wakes up early in order to have a chance to take both Jenn and Neasa off for a chat under the guise of a fishing trip, wanting to see whether or not they would be interested in voting Sheamus out at the next given opportunity.
Back at camp, Sheamus asks a lethargic Fredrick and Isaiah if they feel worried that Mayson has taken the two girls away, but the duo assure him not to be concerned. Isaiah jokes that Mayson can "keep" Jenn.
As Neasa walks back into camp, Sheamus puts his arms around her, pulling her towards him and kissing her on the top of her head. He asks her if everything is okay, to which she claims everything is "fine". Sheamus asks Mayson to assist him in moving some firewood, wanting to question him on the nature of his talks with the girls.
===Day 33===
The final six get tree mail informing them of their upcoming immunity challenge, knowing that a lot is at stake for each and every one of them. Nearly everyone feels pressure to win, either to protect themselves from potential elimination or to make sure that someone else stays vulnerable.
Challenge: Shoot n' Shuffle
Slingshots must be used to break hanging plates with shuffleboard discs attached. After ten shots,the contestants took all of their discs (smashed by them, or by someone else) and used them on a shuffleboard table painted to resemble South America. The player closest to the X (representing their current location) wins.
Winner: Neasa

Upon arriving back at camp, the group congratulate Neasa on her second straight individual immunity win, which has guaranteed her a spot in the final five. Neasa thanks her tribe mates, joking about her excitement over finally getting to wear it to tribal. Mayson stands by Isaiah and Sheamus, telling them both that they should vote Jenn, which they swiftly agree to, following the facade that their all male alliance is going strong.
Throughout the day, multiple conversations begin to take place, with Mayson trying carefully to speak with Fredrick, Neasa and Jenn without raising too much suspicion. Mayson manages to get Neasa on her own, telling her that they are going forward with the plan to vote out Sheamus.
Neasa is able to join Fredrick alone by the riverbank, laughing as she sits next to him, with both knowing what the conversation will be about before any words are spoken.
As the group pack their things, Sheamus continues to feel paranoid, concerned that his grip on the game may be loosening as the days go on, and that tonight he will face the first attempt at getting him out.
At tribal council, the group eagerly look as as Jeff calls in the members of the jury, clapping with joy as they see Hall amongst the jury, ecstatic to see him limping into tribal council. Neasa is asked about her recent challenge prowess, which she claims is down to "anything but physical strength", pointing out that the first win was purely due to knowing what her tribe mates think. Jenn is asked about threats in the game, claiming that everyone in their own right is threatening, although certain people have more of a target on their back. When asked who she is referring to, Jenn confidently states Sheamus' name, saying that it is "no secret" that he is the most popular member of the tribe. Sheamus admits he is flattered by the compliment, but that it concerns him to know how well liked he is, as it could give others a cause to vote him out. Mayson is asked about trust, which he claims is easier to find than expected, pointing out that as a group the six of them stuck together in eliminating the older women.
Jeff goes through the vulnerable members asking who feels at risk, with only Sheamus and Jenn claiming to feel nervous about the vote. Jenn states that she wouldn't be surprised to end up as "collateral damage", whilst Sheamus notes his fears that others may want to turn on him at the late stage in the game, but that he hopes his friendships will be enough to keep him around "three more days". Mayson begins the voting, and is seen writing down Sheamus' name, with Sheamus' vote unsurprisingly also being Mayson. Jeff collects the full urn, ready to reveal who will be the next member of the jury after a six day absence from tribal council.
Mayson pats Sheamus on the shoulder, mouthing "no hard feelings" as he takes his torch over to Jeff, still in shock over his blindside. Isaiah and Neasa are both seen smiling, albeit for different reasons. Delma nods to her fellow jury members, glad to see Mayson's choice to stick with new-Jaburu backfire as she predicted. The final five head back to camp, knowing that now they must turn on one another as they did to Mayson, leaving them all questioning which of them will be the next victim of a blindside.
