## Story

### Night 24

The Matamonoa tribe arrives back at camp from Tribal Council, where Sarah was voted out. Julius had used his Hidden Immunity Idol on Sylvester to make sure that he's safe and Sarah would be gone.

Ciara starts to talk to Julius in front of everybody about his move. Julius says he was protecting a friend and he feels great with his move. Ciara is telling Julius how he betrayed his side. Julius says he feels like he was never a part of her side. Ciara has finished talking to Julius as she's becoming mad.

### Day 25

The Final 11 castaways arrive at the Reward Challenge. One person from each team will race through a series of obstacles to a chair. The rest of the team will then lift the chair, allowing that person to retrieve 10 numbered bags. Once they have collected the 10 bags, the next person will go, retrieving the next 10 bags, and so on. Once all 30 bags have been collected, the team must use the 30 letter tiles to solve a word puzzle. The first team to complete this wins. The winning team wins a trip to a luxury resort with a meal and an overnight stay. One person will not participate in this reward, as there will be two teams of 5. The orange team captain is Feleysa, she chose Julius, Julia, Daniel and Ciara. The blue team captain is Kira, she chose Sylvester, Lena, Jude and Bartosh. Shekinah is not picked. She needs to sit on the bench, where the Vote Steal Advantage is hidden. Shekinah doesn't see the advantage. The challenge starts. In the end the blue team: Kira, Sylvester, Lena, Jude and Bartosh win the reward. With the challenge being finished, Shekinah goes with the rest of her tribe to a boat that will bring them back at camp. Nobody sees the Vote Steal Advantage.

Back at camp, the losing team: Feleysa, Julius, Julia, Daniel, Ciara are sitting next to fire along with Shekinah who was not picked for the challenge.

Daniel, Ciara, Feleysa and Shekinah are talking. Shekinah starts to talk about voting out Sylvester this time for the last time. Feleysa is joking that Sylvester is immortal. Ciara says that with Jude they have 5, but she feels like Kira is going to join this side too, as she only was voting with them to get rid of Sarah. Daniel says he hopes so.

Feleysa is talking with Julius about why he is working with Bartosh and Sylvester. Julius says he has no chances against the alliance of Ciara, Shekinah, Jude and Daniel because he's not close with these people. Feleysa tells Julius that Daniel really wanted to play with Julius. Julius says he wants to get rid of people that are under the radar like Ciara or Jude. Feleysa tells Julius is he aware that they are Feleysa's closest allies. Julius tells Feleysa that's why they can't work together.

The winning team flies in the airplane as they head to the Yasawa Island picnic. The winning team starts to eat and enjoy their time.

Julia starts to talk to Jude about last vote. Jude says he just feels like Sylvester is such a huge threat, but it was nothing personal. Sylvester says that he knows, but they don't understand why he switched sides. Jude apologizes and tells Sylvester that he did what his alliance wanted him to do. Kira asks Jude who's the caller in his alliance. Jude says that he thinks Daniel has a lot to say. Bartosh responds that's the reason why Daniel should go home next.

Lena tells Jude it would be great to start to play against real threats. Lena mentions Sylvester is not going to win anyway, because he has already won. Sylvester agrees he feels like this. Jude says he knows and he trusts Sylvester, but he really didn't want to vote against Sarah as she was the great friend of Jude. Sylvester shakes Jude's hand and tells him everything is ok. Bartosh says they should talk about voting out Daniel when they'll got back to camp, because this reward is too good to talk about strategy.

Back at camp, Julia and Julius are talking. Julia says it's time to make a big move. Julius says that he loves Sylvester to death, but they have to vote out a big threat, because if they won't play with the majority, they'll be next to go. Julia agrees saying they need to stick together. Julius hugs Julia telling her he's going to pick her to the Final 3.

Ciara is talking with Daniel how mad she is about losing the reward. Daniel comforts Ciara telling her Jude and Kira will tell them everything. Ciara says it doesn't matter, because it's going to be Sylvester going home anyway.

### Day 26

The castaways arrive at their Immunity Challenge. The castaways must stack blocks in a tower on an unstable table. They must pull on a rope to keep the table balanced while retrieving their blocks. The first contestant to stack their blocks to spell "IMMUNITY" wins immunity. The challenge starts. Sylvester is really close to win this challenge, but he loses the balance so his blocks fell on the ground. In the end it's Lena who wins the immunity.

The castaways return to their camp. Lena is so excited about winning the immunity.

Sylvester, Bartosh, Julius, Julia and Lena are talking. Sylvester feels like Jude may help them. Bartosh thinks they should talk with Kira anyway about this. Julius is asking the alliance who should go now. Julia thinks it should be Ciara. Everybody is on board, but Bartosh says Jude wants to keep Ciara, so maybe the better option is to vote for Shekinah. They agree.

Lena is talking with Kira about voting out Shekinah tonight. Kira thinks it's a dumb idea, because Shekinah is really scared to do anything this season. Lena thinks the same. Kira says that she's going to go with the majority this time and vote out Sylvester. She tells Lena that she's honest with her, because they need to be closer than ever. Lena says she would love to work with Kira again, so maybe she will vote for Sylvester tonight.

Kira talks with Ciara and Shekinah that Shekinah is a target. Shekinah is shocked, because she doesn't know what she did. Kira says that they probably wanted her to vote for somebody that she's not close to, but they don't know how much she is close to Shekinah. Shekinah hugs Kira telling her they're going to do some blindsides. Ciara is talking about making the Final 3 deal now. Kira, Ciara and Shekinah shook hands.

Feleysa and Jude are talking with Julius and Sylvester about tonight's vote. Sylvester talks about voting out Shekinah now. Feleysa likes the idea of keeping Sylvester, even though she promised some things to her alliance. Julius says that Shekinah is close with Kira, Ciara, Jude and others so maybe it's a good idea to vote her out.

Kira gladly meets with Feleysa. Kira tells her that she really wanted to speak with her. Feleysa says it's obvious that people are going to vote either Sylvester or Shekinah. Kira says she knows she's being perceived as the swing vote, but she has already told Daniel, Ciara and Shekinah that her vote is going to be Sylvester. Feleysa says it's probably going to be Sylvester tonight.

Feleysa talks with Jude about this Tribal Council. She tells him that if he's going to vote for Sylvester, he's going to be in a worse spot, as winners should stick with winners. Jude asks Feleysa so why she is helping him. Feleysa says she thinks it's better to get rid of Shekinah, because Sylvester may help them further and he won't win anyway. Jude tells Feleysa he has to think about it.

At Tribal Council, there's a huge discussion about previous relationships, voting out huge threats and alliances shifting. In the end by a vote of 6-5 Sylvester was voted out and became a third Jury Member.
