## Storylines

### 39 Days: Boracay

#### "Keep yelling!"

Eric and Clarissa wake up late in the morning, discovering that the other members of the tribe had split into two groups walking up and down the beach. Eric and Clarissa realize that they are in the middle, but also at risk because they don't have strong connections to either side.

Eric approaches Jenna, Roy, and Curtis, finding them talking bad about the other clique. When asked about the vote, Roy tells Eric that the other alliance was voting him and that he should vote Zeph if he wants to stay safe.

Clarissa and Eric meet back up to compare what they learned, and discovered that it matched up. Clarissa also tells Eric that Zeph had a lot of negative opinions on him, leading to Eric confronting Zeph. The two have a heated exchange about who is going to be leaving tonight, causing Jenna to move closer to watch.

#### "Hypocritical Hippo"

Eric is swapped to the green team.

Gus approaches Eric, trying to get a feel for the loyalties that existed on the blue team. Eric mentions that he voted with Jenna and Clarissa against one of June's allies, resulting in Gus making an offer to join them in the majority.

#### "End of the line."

The green team returns to camp after Jenna's elimination, and June demands that Clarissa and Eric tell her what happened to her belongings, but both deny knowing what happened. June says that if her items are not returned, she will make sure Clarissa and Eric are the next to go.

June walks up to Eric and asks he knew anything about what happened to her items, and Eric denies it. He claims that he believed Curtis hid them and insists that Clarissa and himself had nothing to do with it. June shrugs and says that the truth had come out, before walking away, leaving Eric confused.

Eric and Clarissa meet June briefly and try to convince her to vote Gus, which she shoots down, then they switch to Ben. June replies they'll just have to wait and see.

Chase asks the team about what they think will happen tonight, and Eric believes he is going home because he was framed for hiding June's belongings, but June reveals she knows who took her belongings, but won't tell who took them.

#### "A whole new game."

Clarissa notices Shane talking with Sam, and tells Eric she thinks that Shane is probably the big boss with the green team members, especially Riley and Sam. Eric proposes that Shane may think that of her, and Clarissa says that she will have to find a way to get him out sooner or later.

Curtis and Roy kick rocks on the beach when Eric unexpectedly charges up to them and demands that they meet with the rest of the cast at the shelter. When they arrive, Eric begins to rant about how it was Curtis, Roy, and Jenna who buried June's items, and that he feels they should have been expelled for this behavior. June speaks up and mentions she already knows they buried her stuff, and that is why she voted out Jenna but spared Clarissa and Eric. Roy calls June a bitch and says that nobody cares about her dead grandma, leaving June crying as he storms off.

#### "Lying for no reason!"

As he arrives back at camp, Curtis openly questions why they voted Roy out, but nobody gives him a straight answer. Curtis avoids the rest of the tribe. June snickers at him, causing a verbal argument, where June claims that Curtis can serve it, but can't take it. Francine, Eric, and Clarissa all wind up jumping in, commenting about Curtis' attitude. Curtis breaks down crying and threatening to quit. Clarissa welcomes him to give up the spot on the jury. Curtis spitefully remarks that he will make the next three days hell unless someone changes their mind.

Overnight, Eric and Riley snuggle for warmth. Sam notices this but doesn't say anything.

Eric wins immunity, with Gus and Francine going on the reward with him. At the restaurant, Eric proposes the idea of blindsiding Sam, which Gus and Francine both strongly disagree with. Both of them want to get rid of Curtis first to get even for burying June's belongings.

Eric tells Clarissa about his conversation with Gus and Francine. Clarissa asks if he believes that Gus and Francine will actually flip, and Eric doubts this, but insists that they should vote Sam anyways, in case someone flips.

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

#### "Me or You."

Clarissa and Eric walk up the beach. Clarissa asks Eric why he couldn't flip Riley, and Eric promises that Riley will vote with them during the next vote. Clarissa shrugs him off.

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.

When everyone begins to wake up, Clarissa begins to look for her items. "Unable" to find them, she breaks down into tears. Eric rallies a search party, but nothing is found. As Clarissa cries, June and Gus comfort her.

June storms off, announcing loudly to the camp the Clarissa lied about her items going missing, as she hid her own items, for some odd reason. Eric buries his head in his palms at this news, and everyone is shocked and confused.

#### "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.

The following afternoon, Eric and Sam walk the beach collecting firewood. Sam bluntly states that she thinks Eric will be the next to go because he is the only one who was not a member of the '3n3' alliance formed at the merge. Eric asks who will go after that, and after some thought, she admits that it would cause some trouble because June, Francine, and Gus would stick together, and so would she, Riley, and Shane. Sam lets Eric know that she will try to let him know about the vote so they can stick together moving forward.

June approaches Eric and asks him about voting Shane. Eric replies that he is ok with any plan that involves him being back on the beach in the morning, and the two shake on it.

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.

Shane gasps, congratulating the new top 6 and admits he never saw it coming, as Gus breathes a sigh of relief. Riley and Eric share a knowing smile. Sam cries as Shane walks away from the sacrifice ceremony.

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

The next morning, Eric finds Sam laying on the beach, asleep and sunburnt, as he goes to try and fish for the tribe. He shakes her awake, and she confusedly stumbles towards the ocean to attempt to soothe her sunburn.

On a morning walk, June bumps into Eric and mentions her conversation with Riley about her feelings for him. Eric admits that he finds Riley attractive, but doesn't think dating while on the show is a good move. June suggests that he should talk with her about his feelings and Eric decides to.

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.

Francine and Eric chat by the well. Francine says that at this point, Sam is the odd one out, and voting her would make for an easy round. Eric agrees with the plan.

Gus approaches Sam and tells her that her name is on the block and that if she wants to stay, she needs to find a way to get Eric and Riley to vote with him against Francine. Sam asks why she should trust him after he helped blindside Shane, and Gus tells her that she has no other choice.

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.

The next morning, Sam approaches Eric as he attempts to fish. She thanks him for keeping her in the game, and promises that as long as he keeps her in the loop, she will stick with him and Riley. Eric tells her that they will likely vote out June next, but he isn't sure what Gus will do, but it doesn't matter because a 3 person alliance is a majority.

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.

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.

Eric wins the final 5 immunity.

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.

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

The final four arrive back at the camp. Eric states he understands why everyone voted the way that they did, and that he is not holding any grudges.

Eric approaches Gus and tells him that June, Gus, and himself have all played games of equal merit, while Sam was a follower all game, and to take her to the end would disrespect the integrity of the game. Gus informs Eric he will consider it, then goes to talk with June.

Eric states that he wants the most deserving people to be in the final 3, causing Sam to ask why he doesn't think she is deserving, and Eric responds that she was a follower during the entire game.

Eric stands and asks each finalist what vote they felt was most pivotal. June claims that the Roy vote was the most critical as it solidified the most powerful alliance in the game. Sam claims that after the Francine vote, everyone wanted to see her in the end, until Eric and Riley flipped against her when she was the swing vote. Gus claims that the Eric vote was the most crucial, as he would have won had he been in the final 3.
