==Story==
===Night 6===
Coyopa returned from Tribal Council after voting out Val Collins. Baylor Wilson was concerned with the votes cast against her and felt as though she could no longer rely on her ally Josh Canfield to protect her in the game. Meanwhile, John Rocker was frustrated that Val chose not to play her Hidden Immunity Idol, not realizing she was bluffing, as Dale Wentworth suspected. Josh later explained to John that he had switched his vote to Val to force a tie when he realized that Val and Jaclyn Schultz were voting for Baylor. Although he told John that he was still in for the men's alliance, in confessionals he reiterated his concern that John was untrustworthy.
===Day 7===
The Hunahpu tribe awakened determined to improve their shelter before bad weather arrived. The charge was led by Drew Christy, but as the rest of the tribe set to work weaving palm fronds, Drew gave up on the task, deeming it too hard and taking a nap in the shelter whilst everyone else worked. This irritated Missy Payne, Keith Nale, and Natalie Anderson, the latter of whom woke Drew up and confronted him about his laziness. Later, Natalie shared her frustrations with Jeremy Collins, who was disappointed that he might have to go against his strategic inclinations and get rid of Drew earlier than he'd hoped.
At the Hero Arena, Hunahpu got their first look at the new Coyopa minus Val. Jeremy expressed his disappointment and when pressed by Jeff Probst, turned to Baylor and Jaclyn and told them that they were next on the block against an alliance of men. John commented that he felt bad and publicly apologized to Jeremy, saying that he'd tried to save Val but couldn't sway his alliance. The Coyopa tribe were shocked by John's admission that he'd been working both sides.
Jeff then revealed the Reward Challenge: Sunset Grill. Each competitor would balance on a suspended plank and use a long paddle to transfer wooden squares from one end of the plank to the other. If a square dropped, they would have to return to the start to get another. The first person to transfer six squares to the end platform would win Reward for their tribe in the form of either comfort (tarp, hammock, mattress, pillows, and blankets) or the fishing gear traded by Hunahpu at the last Hero Duel. Julie McGee and Jaclyn squared off in rock-paper-scissors to determine who got to choose the competitors, and Jaclyn won. Wes Nale volunteered to compete, theorizing that his father Keith would not do well in the challenge.
Early on, Wes gained a slight lead, but Keith was close on his tail and made up ground to even them up by the first square. Keith gained a slight lead through his third square with Wes close behind. Wes regained the lead collecting his fourth square, and though Keith kept the game close with a narrow save. On their fifth squares, the wind picked up and Wes managed to save his square whilst Keith dropped his. This made the difference and Wes comfortably placed his sixth tile to win reward for Coyopa, and simultaneously sending Keith back to .
Keith was emotional, telling the group that he was proud of his son. Wes, also growing teary, commented that he had never seen his father this emotional – the last time being when his great-grandfather (Keith's grandfather) had passed away. Keith comforted Wes before he chose Josh to accompany his father at Exile Island, hoping that the two men would "click." Keith and Josh left the Arena for Exile Island and Coyopa unanimously elected to take the fishing gear as their reward. As they left the Arena, John turned to Jeremy to say, "I did everything I could, brother," though Jeremy doubted that John had tried to help Val.
Back on Hunahpu beach, the tribe comforted Jeremy, although Julie disappeared into the jungle alone and in tears. Natalie, Jon Misch and Jeremy questioned why she was so upset. Angry that John had not fulfilled his promise, Jeremy told the whole tribe what he knew about John's controversial past, including his "racist and homosexual" remarks and his rough reputation as a pitcher. Natalie continued to deride Julie's emotional response, saying that she should not be crying as her loved one was still in the game.
Off on her own, Julie was distraught and worried that Jeremy's anger against John could hurt both his and her games. Missy followed Julie and offered her sympathies, assuring Julie that she needed to concentrate on her own game. Nevertheless, Julie was surprised by the emotional complexities of the twist.
