## Story

### Day 11

The following morning after Sloane's vote out, the Gubat majority alliance (excluding Seth) hang out on the beach discussing the tribal council. Cristina informs everyone on the beach that she voted out Sloane and points the vote for Destinee onto Autumn.

Destinee vents over how she keeps getting votes while the other members try to calm her down over it.

Grant tells tham that they have to start winning these competitions before they lose the numbers going into a swap or merge. Grant wants to help out the best way possible so he mentions he's going to hunt for food and get firewood as well. The tribe thanks Grant for his hardwork.

While the tribe disperses, Destinee stays back with Cristina and the two continue to talk about the previous tribal council. Destinee thanks Cristina for not voting her out and she feels the need to let her in on the alliance. Destinee tells her all the names of everyone in the alliance. Cristina thanks Destinee for feeling comfortable enough to share that with her and hopes that they can work together on the side.

Cristina hugs Destinee for filling her in on the information. Destinee hugs her back and asks Cristina to not say that she told her about it, which Cristina agrees.

Mao and Nick hang out in the shelter where Mao shares a story about how her family immigrated from China and how she's been trying to live up to her family's expectations and wants to make them proud. Mao tells Nick that her parents worked hard for her and she wants to win, so she can take some of the money pressure off of her parents. Nick tells Mao that he can tell she works hard for everything and can see her helping her family in many ways.

On the Sapa tribe, Jasmin and Rashad are walking together on the beach talking about their loyalties in the game. Rashad tells Jasmin that he feels connected to her the most out of anyone here. Jasmin feels the same. Rashad makes promises that he will never go against Jasmin and he has trust until the end of the game.

Jasmin reassures Rashad that she feels the same way about him. They promise each other to look out for each other and protect each other until the end of the game.

Meanwhile, Jamir is checking in with Rhett about targeting Luz in the future tribal council that go to. Jamir tells Rhett that he's talked around with a bunch of people and they feel the same about targeting Luz and he won't have to worry about everyone getting board.

Rhett asks Jamir if he's sure that he doesn't need to talk to anyone about voting Luz. Jamir reassures him that he's good and if he does people will start to get paranoid about him.

Jamir tells Rhett to trust him. They end the conversation as Danna walks over. Rhett leaves the beach focusing the conversation with Danna and Jamir. Jamir tells Danna about the conversation with Rhett. Danna tells Jamir how much she just wants Rhett to be gone from the tribe. Jamir agrees with Danna. Jamir tells Danna that he trusts her a lot and wants to tell her about an alliance in the game. Danna promises Jamir that she's with him and won't tell anyone what he tells her. Jamir throws the alliance with Oren, Luz and Jasmin under the bus to Danna. Danna is shocked over the alliance, but she appreciates Jamir telling her about it. Jamir tells Danna that he wants to work with her.

Danna tells Jamir that he wants to work with him as well. She tells him that she's felt really good vibes with him, Jasmin and Oren. Jamir tells Danna that it works out perfectly and if the five of them vote together that they can go far. Danna agrees and thanks Jamir again the information.

### Day 12

The following morning, the Gubat majority alliance decide to meet up while they have a chance in the morning. Kieran decides to make the six person alliance official.

Kieran tells Seth to go wake up Mao and bring her over to the waterwell. Seth finds Mao in the shelter and tells her to meet by the waterwell and come quietly. Mao agrees.

Mao leaves the shelter while Autumn and Cristina continue sleeping. Mao meets up with the five other tribe members where Kieran tells Mao that they wanted to make this alliance official. Kieran tells the alliance that they survived a tribal and have the numbers to pick off Autumn and Cristina if they were to go to tribal council. Mao jokes about waking her up early, but thanks them for including her.

The alliance puts their hands together and celebrate their six person alliance.

The tribes compete in combined reward and immunity challenge "Water Mortar" where the Gubat tribe wins sending Sapa back to tribal council.

After returning the challenge, the Sapa tribe begin to start talking about who needs to go home. Rhett approaches Jamir about the vote and asks Jamir if the vote is still on Luz. Jamir confirms that as of before the challenge he's still heard Luz is the target.

Jasmin and Oren start talking about their families back home and how they would see them playing the game right now. Oren tells Jasmin that his family is probably yelling at the TV for his early performance in the game. They share a laugh before Jasmin reassures Oren that he's definitely turned his game around since then. Oren agrees then asks Jasmin about her family. Jasmin tells Oren that her family is probably shocked over how quiet she's been. Jasmin confesses that she probably would've played like Oren if her dad didn't tell her to calm down her inner self before coming out here. Oren laughs.

Jasmin asks Oren what he's thinking target wise. Oren tells Jasmin his assumption the obvious target is Rhett which Jasmin agrees with. Jasmin tells Oren she's going to try to get Erika on board to vote out Rhett to make it unanimous. Jasmin walks off to find Erika. Upon finding her, Jasmin asks Erika where her head is at. Erika tells Jasmin that she's thinking Rashad needs to go for his poor performance in the challenge. Jasmin tries to steer the target off of Rashad by mentioning that a lot of people are hearing that Rhett needs to go. Erika doesn't think Rhett should be the one to go because he's a strong asset in the challenge. Jasmin agrees, but doesn't think that the majority are switching their targets from Rhett to Rashad.

Jasmin tells Erika that she can confirm that Jamir, Oren and Luz are together and voting out Rhett tonight. Erika asks Jasmin why she thinks thats the case. Jasmin admits that she was approached to vote Rhett out tonight. Erika thanks Jasmin for telling her where people's heads are at, but she is going to try to talk to them about them about voting out Rashad.

Luz makes rounds with everyone on the tribe to try make friends with the tribe after getting votes at the last tribal council she attended.

Luz talks with Rashad about his life and they have a conversation for ten minutes before the conversation switches to the target tonight. Luz asks Rashad if he's going to vote Rhett with the tribe. Rashad tells Luz he's voting with the tribe, but wishes that they would switch their votes to Erika since he's been told she's coming for him. Luz promises Rashad if she has any pull she'll push for Erika next. Rashad thanks Luz. Luz leaves the conversation and meets Danna where they agree that Rhett is going to be the one to go.

Luz finally meets with her alliance with Jamir, Jasmin and Oren and they all confirm that Rhett is going to be the one going home tonight.

The tribe grabs their torches and head into Tribal Council.

At Tribal Council, the members of Sapa discuss the lines that were drawn in the sand at the previous tribal council. Rhett confesses that he feels on the bottom of the tribe and feels his fate lies in one person's hands. Jeff asks Rhett who holds his fate, to which he confesses Jamir has a lot of pull around the tribe. Jamir counters his comment by saying that everyone has their own minds, but he's been made into the kingpin of the tribe after Jaiden went home. The tribe goes around asking how confident they feel with the person going home tonight, and everyone admits that they feel confident. In the end, Rhett's doubts were proven correct and he was voted out in a 6-1-1 vote.
