## Episode Summary

This vote was a forgone conclusion from the moment ZZ left the game. TrophyWife was the next to go, and everybody knew it, including her. So most of this week's strategizing was about what was going to happen the *next* round.

Nemo remarked that Gavin, Wynter and Logan were all with him. His plan is to go to the F5 with the Orange Dress alliance, effectively pagonging Akira, Colin and Logan in the process. He's also worried about taking Okie to FTC. Wynter became mentally checked out, and told Nemo they're staying in the game to help him win. Logan, meanwhile, felt he was in a powerful spot. He wanted to take a shot at Akira after Trophy left, as a way to bring Gavin and Wynter closer to him. Also, Okie was concerned about the “noo” trio being targeted soon, so he's been working on creating parachute connections as a back-up.

TrophyWife requested to be removed from the “noot” alliance chat. Feeling like she had nothing left to lose, Trophy then exposed the Nemo/Okie/Oxy publicly in tribe chat. Wynter then jumped in to call Trophy out, leading to the heated argument between the two. While Nemo tried to interject as mediator to change the subject. Afterwards, Nemo, Gavin and Okie all took Wynter's side in DM.

Nemo initially wanted to sandbag the reward challenge, but he caved in and submitted an 18 second score, securing himself an Vote Steal advantage in the process. Nemo then told Okie and Oxy about this advantage. He also lied to Trophy that Okie had the Trishuli Idol. Nemo also went into full CPN mode this episode, declaring himself the front runner in confessional.

TrophyWife used her Immunity challenge advantage against Wynter, leading to Wynter being eliminated first. But Trophy was stabbed out not long after that. Despite it being a straightforward vote, Nemo became paranoid that Logan, Colin, Trophy and Akira were about to band together, but not paranoid enough to play an idol on himself. Meanwhile, Logan told Akira that Nemo wanted her out, which leaked back to Nemo, and now he's annoyed at Logan again for failing his “trust test”. Nemo then tried to snatch a third idol, worried that Logan is close to it. But he's been unsuccessful so far.

Okie said he wanted to make a move with Trophy, but he felt she made things difficult. In the end, Trophy was voted out 8-1 in a very unsurprising result.
