## Storylines

### "It's Day Two and I've lost my mind."

Howard and Riley discover that they are from the same city, and Ben and Riley find an unexpected shared love for classic novels.

Riley is placed on the Green Team.

Ben catches Riley alone and lets her know that the plan was to vote Emiko.

Riley is telling Sam the plan when Emiko walks by, overhearing them. In a desperate attempt to save herself, Emiko gathers all the members of the tribe and makes a desperate plea to stay. Emiko claims that Gus is the weakest member of the tribe, but when Riley points out that Emiko lost the challenge, Emiko says it was her off day, and that there wouldn't be anymore swimming challenges.

### "Keep yelling!"

Shane and Riley are both happy that everyone on the tribe was able to agree on Emiko's elimination.

### "She's having a nuclear meltdown."

As the sun sets, Riley and Ben walk along the green team beach. Riley confesses to Ben that she has developed feelings for him, and he responds by pulling her into a kiss.

Riley approaches Shane early in the morning. She tells Shane that she and Ben have started a showmance, and that the two of them didn't want to have to hide anything. Shane tells her she probably shouldn't tell so many people, as it might make them a target Riley then proceeds to ask about the vote, considering Gus and Lucille to be the main targets. Shane responds that Lucille should go, and Riley agrees. Both decide to spread the word.

### "Again, with the dead grandma."

As everyone else goes to sleep, Riley and Ben sneak off. Riley tells Ben that she thinks they need to prepare for losing again by rallying the votes against Gus, who lost for the team in the last challenge.

At the Sacrifice Ceremony, Chase asks Riley what decision making process was like at camp, and Riley explains that two people are gunning for each other, naming Howard and Shane. The castaways proceed to vote.

### "Hypocritical Hippo"

Curtis approaches Riley early in the morning. He tells her that Francine is generally lazy and doesn't put in a lot of effort around camp and that she should be the next to go. Curtis insists that the vote would be easy and that they could send her home five against one with no drama. Riley admits the plan makes sense to her.

### "A whole new game."

Riley looks around and notices that Ben is not present. Upset, she runs down the beach crying as the rest of the contestants eat.

Clarissa and Riley talk about how the game has gone so far, and Clarissa asks about Shane. Riley explains that she had a secret showmance with Ben that Shane found out about and kept secret. Riley says it doesn't matter anymore because Ben was voted out.

### "Lying for no reason!"

Overnight, Eric and Riley snuggle for warmth.

At camp, Riley approaches Curtis. She says that she thinks it is time to get rid of Clarissa. Curtis quickly agrees to this plan and asks if Shane and Sam are on board, which Riley agrees. Curtis quietly cheers.

Sam, Shane, and Riley meet by the well and discuss the plan. Riley wants to stick to voting Curtis because it is easy, and then she will be able to rope in Eric and Clarissa to run the game. Shane proposes voting Clarissa, because if they all flipped and voted her, she would go home, but Sam insists it's too risky.

Curtis calls Riley a coward, June a crybaby, and Eric a snake, before storming out.

### "Me or You."

Riley and Eric walk alone. Riley tells Eric that Clarissa is on the bottom, but if he flips on her, he will have a chance to slip by when Shane and June go after each other. Eric says that she could try to make a move with Clarissa and himself, but Riley says that the time is not right yet.

Riley decides to jump into the ocean in her birthday suit on her birthday. Everyone is shocked to see her running naked towards the water. Riley splashes in the water, as Francine sings 'Happy Birthday.'

### "Time for a robbery!"

Riley and Eric hang out together after the rest of the contestants have gone to bed. Eric admits that he is into Riley, but is unsure about her because he feels she might be using him for clout, especially since she had another showmance on the island. Riley insists that her feelings for Eric are genuine, but she respects him wanting to take more time to feel her out.

Later. Riley, Francine, and Gus gather sticks along the beach. Gus casually mentions that if they teamed up, nobody would see it coming, and they could easily make the final 3 together. Riley and Francine are both confused by his offer, but tentatively accept it anyways. Gus walks away, and both Riley and Francine shrug at each other, before wandering off in different directions.

Back at camp, Shane, Riley, and Sam talk while stoking the fire. Shane mentions that he wants to vote out Gus, who is a large physical threat and might be in a better position with the jury than Francine and June. Riley and Sam both agree to the idea, and Shane asks Riley to get Eric on board.

A bit later, Riley approaches Eric and tells him that Gus is likely going home unless they flip the vote. Eric mentions that they could vote off Shane, and Riley considers what he said, and the two realize that they are in the middle, and can get the choice of who goes.

Chase asks Riley how her vote tonight would be decided, and Riley explains that she is looking to find a path to the final 3.

### "A million dollars or a husband?"

Riley and June walk to fetch water, and June asks Riley how she is feeling after blindsiding Shane, and Riley says that she knows it was necessary to win, but that it also doesn't make it easy to vote off a friend. Riley brings up that she has started to develop feelings for Eric, and June immediately asks her if she's looking for a million dollars or a husband. Riley states that she believes she can get both, causing an eyebrow raise from June.

Eric approaches Riley and says that her telling June about her feelings was a big risk, but it proved to him that she is genuinely interested in him, and the two kiss.

Sam talks with Riley and Eric and begins to beg for her life in the game. She says that without Shane nobody has told her anything and that she will be as loyal to them as she was to Shane. Riley and Eric tell her they will consider her side of things, but don't promise anything.

### Day 39

Riley and Eric slip away and Riley exclaims that they have taken control of the game and that they can decide who will come with them to the final 3 between Sam, Gus, and June. Eric warns her not to get cocky and slip up, but Riley insists that they have nothing to worry about.

Sam gathers everyone to play a game of Duck-Duck-Goose to pass the time. June and Riley seem excited to have something to do, while Eric simply plays along. Gus states that they shouldn't be playing childish games while playing a game for a million dollars, but ends up getting into the game and enjoying himself.

The rest of the contestants notice that Gus has gone off alone. Riley points out the Gus doesn't seem to talk much to anyone except when he is trying to get them to vote with him. June says that he usually doesn't talk to anyone unless he needs something.

Riley and Eric get up to talk privately, leaving an awkward silence between June and Sam. Eventually, Sam stands up and decides to go check up on the pair. As she finds them in a clearing, the two kiss, causing Sam to gasp out loud. Riley jumps in surprise as Sam asks them how long they have had something going on. Eric tries to say it was their first kiss, but Riley admits they had been an item since the final 7. Eric and Riley both swear that they are still loyal to Sam and want to go to the end with her, and Sam agrees to the plan.

As June walks to the beach looking for Sam, Eric and Riley intercept her. They say that Sam has also learned about their showmance, and they worry she will expose it to Gus, who would try to use it to sink their game. They propose voting Sam to keep her quiet, and then eliminating Gus the next round and entering the finale together. June accepts this deal immediately.

Chase asks Riley if there is a solid three in the group, or if the game is still in motion. Riley answers that the game is always in motion and that anything can happen. Sam quips that not everyone who seems trustworthy is, causing Riley to ask what Sam means by that. June stands and answers that Riley and Eric have entered a showmance and that keeping an obvious duo in the game so late is a bad move. Gus, and the jurors, are shocked at June's exposal. June then proceeds to inform Sam that Eric and Riley were writing her name down.

Riley hugs and kisses Eric, before walking away into the night.

Riley asks each of the three why they voted her off. June explains that she felt going to the end with a showmance was dangerous, and Sam agrees with her. Gus explains that he felt Riley and Eric were bigger threats than June and Sam. Riley asks why Gus tried to make a final 3 with her and Francine if that was the case, causing some stir from the other jurors. Riley tells Gus the question was rhetorical before he can answer and takes her seat.
