==Story==
===Day 9 (Night)===
The girls return to camp having just voted Subira out of the game in a 4-3 vote, with Jayla ultimately siding with the older women due to the more genuine connections she had made with them over the past nine days. Neasa and Jenn seem both visibly shocked and upset upon returning, with their body language clearly displaying their discomfort.
Jayla decides to speak to the entire tribe, telling them her decision was down to the lack of a personal bond with Subira, reassuring Jenn and Neasa that it was "nothing personal" against them as a pair. Neasa and Jenn accept Jayla's reasoning, before heading over to a private area in order to come to terms with the events of tribal council. 
===Day 10===
===Jaburu===
Most of the women lay asleep inside the shelter, failing to get up early despite the tribe being in dire need of food. Jayla stokes the fire, still looking somewhat sad after the events of the previous night. Delma sharpens her machete, eventually waking the other women in the tribe, telling them they need to begin their daily chores.
Delma gathers the women around the shelter, giving out instructions on what each of them should be doing throughout the day. Veronica, Edweena and Jayla go off in order to find worms to use as bait, passing them over to Jenn and Neasa, who have agreed to spend several hours fishing. Delma remains at camp, tending to the fire and boiling the tribes water. 
The three worm hunters search through the dirt in the woods, using their machetes to dig through the ground. Veronica finds several large worms, placing them on a leaf in order to take back to camp. 
After some more time, the trio gather their collection of worms and begin heading back to camp. On the way, Jayla looks for assurance from her fellow tribe members concerning her decision at the last tribal council. 
Later in the day, Neasa and Jenn sit in the tribes boat in an attempt to fish, utilising the worms caught by the women earlier in the day. The two girls use the opportunity to talk over their thoughts, trying to come to terms with being the minority on the tribe.
The pair become emotional, wiping tears from their eyes as the reality of their situation sinks in, realising that it would be very unlikely for Jaburu to win all the remaining immunity challenges. 
===Tambaqui===
Sheamus, Fredrick and Mayson sit together on the tribes boat in order to fish, having got up early so as to not waste the day. The three talk about the positive state of their tribe, feeling that they've got the upper hand on the women.
Back at camp, the other four men sit around tending to the fire and cutting up wood, discussing a variety of topics whilst they try to pass the time. Isaiah sings to lighten the mood, much to the amusement of Hall, who tells him to "stick to dancing".
Kennedy walks off on his own, not wanting to spend his time around Isaiah and Hall. Ceri decides not to follow, knowing he may have to further distance himself from Kennedy. Hall and Isaiah both seem oblivious as to why Kennedy is in a bad mood.
The men spend the rest of the day enjoying the food caught by the fishing trio, eventually being rejoined by Kennedy, who continues to remain separated from the main group. 
===Day 11===
Challenge: Light My Fire
The tribes are given flint and steel to make a fire big enough to burn through a rope, releasing a section of a banner which spells out a syllable their tribe name. Once a section is unfurled, the tribes move the fire to next station. There are four flag sections to be lowered. The first tribe to successfully lower all sections of their flag wins.
Reward: A refrigerator stocked with Coca-Cola.
Winner: Tambaqui

===Jaburu===
The six women return to camp, gathering around their shelter after suffering another loss. Jenn tells the group that despite not liking cola, she's annoyed that the men continue to win the food-based rewards.
Throughout the day, the women work hard around camp, wanting to turn things around so that they stand a better chance in challenges. Jenn and Edweena sit together scaling and preparing fish recently caught by Delma. Simultaneously, Neasa and Veronica go off into the woods to replenish the tribes worm supply, wanting to get as much fishing done before sundown.
Neasa and Veronica spend half an hour searching for worms, giving them time to speak without the interruption of their fellow tribe mates. 
===Tambaqui===
The seven men stand around their tribe crate, each holding an individual can of cola. The men toast to their victory, enjoying the spoils of their win.
The three men sit in the shallow water washing themselves, talking about their hopes to continue their winning streak as they do so. Fredrick jokes that viewers will be a lot less enthralled watching the men's shower segment.
The topic of conversation eventually gets on to Hall's recent attitudes, with all three men admitting they are finding him difficult to be around.
Kennedy tells the pair not to give him false hope, and asks that they vote Hall off after him. Sheamus tells Kennedy not to give up, as there are "no guarantees" in the game, and that the tribe may manage to win immunity through to the merge. 
Later that night, Mayson and Hall sit up together by the fire whilst their tribe sleeps in the shelter. The pair talk about the upcoming immunity challenge, devising a plan that may benefit their games in the future.
===Day 12===
===Jaburu===
The women prepare for the upcoming immunity challenge, not wanting to continue their losing streak. However, Delma and Veronica both privately believe losing will benefit their tribe, removing either Jenn or Neasa before a swap or a merge to prevent them from turning on the tribe. 
With only a few minutes to spare, Neasa makes sure to take Jenn to one side, informing her that she had previously tried speaking with Veronica. Neasa alters the way the conversation went, instead claiming that she was trying to sway Veronica to see if she would be open to voting alongside them, but was strongly in favour of keeping the older women (and Jayla) together.
===Tambaqui===
===Immunity Challenge===
Challenge: Gone Fishin
Provided with fishing equipment, the tribes must catch as many fish as possible inside a fertile fishing area in one hour. The tribe with the larger haul wins immunity. The winning tribe also gets to take all the fish they caught back to camp with them.
Information: For Jaburu, all the women bar Jayla manage to catch plenty of fish, although Jayla herself doesn't perform badly. For Tambaqui, a majority of the tribe performs well, with Sheamus struggling at first, but quickly redeeming himself. However, Hall ensures that any fish that are caught next to him are secretly tossed back into the water. In the end, Jaburu manage to catch a larger haul, sending Tambaqui to their second tribal council.
Winner: Jaburu

===Tamabqui===
Having lost the immunity challenge, the seven men return to camp, feeling a mixture of emotions about the impending tribal council. As several of the men scatter around the camp, Hall can't help but look smug, glad to have cost his tribe the challenge. He walks over Sheamus, whispering as he informs his tribe member of his antics.
Kennedy and Fredrick head off with the tribes pot to collect water, leaving the other men sat around the shelter. After they depart, Hall decides to confirm the vote with the tribe.
Sheamus tells the group that he'll go and inform Fredrick, asking Ceri to accompany him so as to distract Kennedy. The pair walk off, leaving the other three inside the shelter. Mayson asks the others if they should be worried about the other four being alone, but both Hall and Isaiah assure him that everything will be fine.
Whilst walking through the woods, Sheamus informs Ceri that Hall intentionally lost the challenge, with both men clearly annoyed by this act. Ceri labels Hall a "traitor", telling Sheamus that he can't vote anybody else after learning this information. 
Sheamus and Ceri eventually catch Fredrick and Kennedy carrying the water back to camp. Sheamus quickly tells Ceri to take the pot off Fredrick and to head back to camp, with both pairs about to undergo quick discussions after Hall's revelation. Ceri and Kennedy walk back to camp, talking through what Hall had told Sheamus, agreeing to place the vote on Hall at the upcoming tribal council.
Over by the river, Sheamus and Fredrick talk through the same information, trying to come up with a decision as to whether they should stick with the original plan or change up the game and blindside Hall.
The Tambaqui tribe takes their place at tribal council, ready to begin discussions after a nine day absence. When asked about their camp life, all the men speak positively about their experience with the surviving, saying that they have been eating well since winning the fish bait as a reward. However, Kennedy decides to mention the "bullying" at camp, calling out both Hall and Isaiah for consistently "making remarks" towards himself. Hall and Isaiah both react strongly to these claims, denying that either of them are 'bullies', instead telling Jeff that Kennedy has alienated himself by being the weakest member of the tribe. When asked about the extent of the issue, Kennedy exposes that Hall had told people he threw the challenge in order to vote him out of the game. Hall laughs at this, loosely admitting to Jeff that he did indeed intentionally lose. Fredrick, Sheamus and Ceri all visibly look annoyed at this, individually stating that they are annoyed at Hall for his actions, feeling he unnecessarily handed the women immunity. Mayson tells Jeff that although he disagrees with Hall's actions, that he doesn't feel it should distract the group from making a vote that can keep them physically strong.
Sheamus and Fredrick look at one another, before all seven men agree that they're ready to vote. One by one they head over to the booth, where Kennedy is seen writing down 'Hall', and Hall is seen writing down 'Kenny-boy'. Jeff collects the urn, ready to reveal who will be the second man to depart from the game.
Kennedy smiles and sighs, taking his torch over to Jeff whilst sticking his middle finger up at Hall, who in turn laughs and calls Kennedy "classy". After his torch is snuffed, Kennedy turns and takes one last look at his tribe, telling them to "wake up", before finally leaving the tribal council area. The six men grab their torches and return to camp, once again equal in numbers with the all female Jaburu tribe.
