## Story

### Day 25

The Tamala Tribe is resting in their camp as today it's a really hot day. Nora feels very guilty about last Tribal Council where David went home.

Nora talks with Vivian. She tells her that she's really scared about Nanga people coming together against them. Vivian thinks that Raymond is calling the shots and it's scary. Nora says that David was indeed a threat, but it was too early for him to go. Vivian says they need to play the game and stop thinking about what happened, they need to focus on voting out the head of the snake which is Kaylie.

Kaylie, Jana and Jermaine are talking. They're excited that David was voted out and not one of them. Jana thinks that if Ezekiel and Kai are going to work with Binnu tribe members, they need to convince one of them to target Kai or Ezekiel, because it's the only option. Kaylie agrees they can't trust Ezekiel and Kai.

Later on, Jermaine and Kai are coming back to the camp to announce about Reward Challenge. Nora hopes it's going to be something good. Jana says she's totally out of energy as they don't eat that much.

The castaways arrive on their Reward Challenge. Jeff explains the rules. The eight remaining Tamala members will be divided into four groups of two. They will then traverse a 3-leg obstacle course. The winners of the first two races compete against each other in the third race to determine the final winner. The winners gets a trip via helicopter to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Barrier Reef, where the winning twosome enjoys a feast of delicious food and a day of snorkeling. Everybody are mesmerized about the reward. The pairs are: Kai & Nora, Kaylie & Raymond, Vivian & Ezekiel, Jana & Jermaine. The challenge starts. Kaylie & Raymond and Jana & Jermaine are the winners of the two races. The final race begins with Kaylie, Raymond, Jana and Jermaine competing. In the end, Jana & Jermaine won an amazing reward. They're getting ready for a trip via helicopter. The rest of Tamala tribe goes back to camp.

Jana and Jermaine are together in a helicopter flying to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Barrier Reef. They're very enthusiastic about their reward.

Jana and Jermaine are enjoying their time in the Great Barrier Reef. They talk about how beautiful it is.

After watching the Reef, Jana and Jermaine finally can eat something. As their eating, Jana asks Jermaine what he thinks is going to happen in this game. Jermaine says he thinks right now it's three Nanga versus three Binnu and there's Kai and Ezekiel somewhere in the middle. Jana says she doesn't like it at all. Jermaine agrees saying that they have control on who goes from which side. Jana says the best option would be to just vote out one of the swing-voters. Jermaine says it would be great to convince Binnu tribe to do that.

### Day 26

The next day, Jermaine and Jana are asked by their tribemates how was it on the reward. Jermaine says that he wished everyone was there. Jana says it was magic.

Vivian talks with Nora and Raymond about Jana's and Jermaine's reward. Nora says she's jealous about it. Raymond says it's good they went for the reward, because it may make Ezekiel and Kai mad about how they're talking a lot about this reward, so it's easier to vote them out. Vivian says it's exactly what she was thinking about. Raymond says they need to talk with Kai and Ezekiel about this.

Raymond is talking with Ezekiel about next voting. He asks him what he thinks about targeting one of the winners of the reward. Ezekiel says for him it's fine if Jana is the target, because she's really good at challenges. Raymond agrees saying she may win in the future if she's not next. Ezekiel is fine with this.

Meanwhile, Vivian and Nora are talking with Kai about Jana and Jermaine. Kai says Jana is the biggest threat in the game right now. Vivian agrees that Kaylie may be a brain of the operation, but Jana is the muscle and it's more threatning. Kai says he's with them till the end.
