## Story

### Day 27

The morning after Tribal Council, Jasmin observes over the tribe and reflects on the previous tribe.

Jasmin tends to the fire, as it lights, the fire reflects in her eyes.

Later in the day, the Yaman tribe walks into the reward challenge site. They compete in "Philippines Shuffle" where the tribe is divided into three teams of three. Cristina, Jamir and Oren make up the orange. team, Danna, Jasmin and Kieran make up the green team, and Grant, Nick and Rashad make up the purple team. At the end of the challenge, Danna, Jasmin and Kieran win the reward and have a night spent at a resort where they see an early movie screening. The three of them leave the challenge site first then followed by the losing teams back to camp.

Upon arriving to the resort, Danna and Jasmin cheer with excitement as Kieran watches over the two of them.

Once they are all inside, the three of them talk about the game for a brief moment. Kieran tries to pick their brains and on their thoughts about voting with him, Grant and Nick. Jasmin asks the obvious question about Cristina's place in their alliance. Kieran mentions Cristina flipped on the previous vote and displayed untrustworthiness, so as far as he's concerned they aren't working together anymore.

Danna throws out Cristina's name to Kieran. Kieran says if it'll help him stay in the game that he'll do it, but he needs to talk it over with Grant and Nick as well. Danna understands. Jasmin shuts the game talk down as she puts the movie in play.

Back at camp, Nick and Grant feeling isolated from the rest of the tribe take a walk on the beach. Nick points out that they are on a sinking ship. Grant describes the feelings being awful. Nick promises to tell Grant how he's voting and he won't go against Grant even if they are the ones getting votes. Grant shares the same feelings back. The two shake on it.

Jamir calls everyone back to camp and shares his feelings about not being able to go on the reward. He pumps everyone up to go look for some food, so they can eat well tonight. Everyone agrees with his mentality and starts to head out for food.

Cristina attempts to walk with Grant and Nick to hunt for food, but notice that they walk faster to avoid her. Cristina takes the hint and walks with Rashad and Oren.

Rashad and Oren talk with Cristina as they continue to hunt for food. As the sun begins to go down, the tribe comes back with all the fish and coconuts that they could find and cooked themselves a meal to eat.

### Day 28

The following morning, the boat returns with Danna, Jasmin and Kieran.

Danna, Jasmin and Kieran talk about the resort and the movie they saw an early screening about. As the discussion dies down, Kieran asks Cristina, Grant and Nick to go on a walk with him. They agree.

Kieran apologies to Cristina for not making her feel comfortable enough with the Gubat tribe. Cristina accepts the apology and explains why she chose to flip from the game. In the process, Cristina mentions she was told about the alliance the five of them had coming into the merge along with Destinee, and she never included in that. Nick tells Cristina that she has always been an ally to him, and he's never needed to confirm anything with her because he felt they had each other. Also, Nick apologies that he was never able to do that with her. Cristina accepts his apology and thanks them for approaching her for this conversation. Kieran and Nick thank her for sitting and listening.

### Day 29

The Yaman tribe arrives to the challenge site. They compete in "House of Cards" which leads to Danna and Kieran neck and neck with each other. Danna finishes first and wins individual immunity, earning her a spot in the final 8. As for the remaining 8, one of them will be voted out at tribal council tonight.

The Yaman returns to camp, congratulating Danna on her individual immunity win.

Danna meets with Jamir and Jasmin and discusses the options on who they want to target. Jamir tells them that Grant should be the next person to go. While Jasmin pushes for Nick to be the next one to go. Danna throws out the idea of voting out Cristina. Danna mentions Cristina flipped on her own original tribe and she could flip on them. Jamir and Jasmin immediately shut the idea down, wanting to get rid of one of the core three. Jasmin reasons with Danna that Cristina is on the outside of that core three. Danna understands.

Meanwhile, Oren discusses the vote with Rashad, Kieran and Cristina. Oren tells the group that he wants to keep his options open as far as it goes for working with anyone else. Oren regrettably tells them that he hasn't had the chance to bond with them as much as he's wanted and voting tonight could help strength their relationship.

Kieran asks Oren who he's thinking about the vote. Oren blatantly tells Kieran that the vote will either be Grant or Nick tonight since they have the numbers. He also mentions that they could control which of the two they prefer if they vote together. Kieran throws out the chance that they would rather vote Jasmin. Oren admits that no one from Sapa is going to vote her out including himself. Cristina chimes in and admits she would rather see Grant go home. Rashad agrees with Cristina. They decide if they want to work together that they will vote Grant tonight.

After, Kieran meets up with Grant and Nick to discuss who they are going to vote tonight. Nick throws out the idea of continuing to vote for Jamir. Grant mentions as much as he'd love to do that, they should probably vote for Oren if they want a chance to stay. Kieran agrees with Grant despite wanting to vote out Jasmin. Nick asks about Cristina's vote. Kieran admits to them that Cristina is going to vote with Sapa.

Jamir and Jasmin make their way over to Oren to discuss what's been going on with the tribe. All three of them agree that the vote is going to come down to Nick or Grant. Jasmin tells the group that she wants to vote out Nick over Grant, and Oren agrees with her. Oren tells the group that Cristina and Rashad are going to vote for Grant tonight. Jamir tells the group that he would prefer Grant to leave tonight as well.

Oren asks Jasmin and Jamir what Danna is planning to do tonight. Jasmin tells him that she was heavily leaning on Cristina, but she'll vote whoever they want her to vote. Jamir points out that the three of them can vote for Nick, Cristina, Danna and Rashad can vote for Grant, and whoever the Gubat members vote will also have three. Oren says the plan is risky. Jamir admits the plan is risky, but would prevent any idol play. Jasmin asks who they'll vote when the vote ties. Jamir mentions the vote would be up to whoever they decide as long as they don't tie it again.

Jamir asks Jasmin to get Danna and Rashad on board with the plan and Jamir promises to check with Cristina. Oren tells Jamir not to tell Cristina that they are splitting the votes. Jamir agrees.

The tribe grabs their torches and head into tribal council.

At Tribal Council, Kieran points out the Sapa tribe is a tight group of people that won't turn on each other. Grant and Nick agree with Kieran and mention that one of the three of them are going home tonight. Jeff asks Cristina if she feels safe which she mentions she has built new friendship with the Sapa tribe that she hopes will save herself tonight. The tribe is asked about idols. Jamir confesses idols are on everyone's mind and they don't know if any are still in the game, but they have to act as if they are. When the votes are revealed, the vote ties between Grant, Nick and Oren. After feeling the votes won't fall in her favor due to Oren losing his vote, Jasmin and Jamir flipped their votes onto Grant, making Grant the third member of the jury in a 5-1-0 vote.
