## Story

### Day 13

The following day after Sapa's previous tribal council, Jasmin and Erika are washing their clothes in the ocean and decide to talk about the previous night. Jasmin tells Erika that she tried to warn her about the vote being Rhett. Erika is still confused on why no one wanted get rid of Rashad. Jasmin tells Erika that the timing wasn't right.

Erika asks Jasmin whether she would be one of the next ones to go. Jasmin tells Erika that right now it's a possibility based on the vote. Erika continues to rant about why Rashad needed to go. Jasmin tells Erika that Rashad is in a good spot with the tribe right now. Jasmin confesses that no one is going to want to vote him out at this point in the game. Erika continues to think about plans to potentially get rid of him.

Later in the day, Jasmin and Danna meet up to discuss the future for the Sapa tribe.

Danna asks Jasmin if she knows where the tribe stands moving in the future. She mentions she briefly spoke with Jamir and he told her that the potential people to go are Erika and Rashad. Jasmin confirms that it would seem like they would be the easy targets to go, but nothing is really solid. Jasmin tells Danna that Luz has been thrown out as a target after receiving votes the last two tribal councils.

Danna mentions she didn't expect Luz to be a target, but if that's something she's leaning towards that she can jump on board.

In the background, Luz notices Danna talking with Jasmin and Erika and speaking with Jamir.

As soon as Danna leaves Jasmin to walk back to camp where Erika and Jamir are sitting. Luz appraoches her asking her
questions about what they were talking about and if she knew anything about who was voting her at tribal council. Danna
brushed off the questions, saying she has no idea. Luz continues to push these questions on Danna eventually leading to Luz
raising her voice with Danna.

Danna faces towards Luz telling her that she's being paranoid and she's not going to continue with this conversation any longer. Danna walks away and throws her hair in Luz's face as she walks away. Erika and Jamir turn their attention from the fight back to each other.

On Gubat Tribe, the morning starts with Seth working out on the beach while having a deep thought about the game.

He continues to examine the tribe from a far as he works out.

Seth starts making his around to every person on the tribe to see what they are thinking in the game if they have heard anyone mention his name to them. To much of his surprise, they all respond and tell him that no one has said anything about him.

Meanwhile the tribe sitting around the camp when Nick points out that Destinee has a nasty cut on her leg. Destinee admits to the whole tribe that she got it a couple days ago trying to bring back wood for the tribe, but her leg got cut by a sharp wooden stick. The tribe tells her that she needs to have that looked at.

The medic team comes out and takes a look at Destinee's cut. The tribe watches from a far where Destinee gives them a thumbs up. The medic examines the cut that Destinee has, asking her questions about the pain level. The medical team finishes their examinations and explains that the cut looks harmless at the moment, but they need to wrap it and keep an eye on it for a couple to make sure it doesn't worsen. They mention if the cut worsens that it could lead to serious problems being close to the bone. Destinee agrees with their terms and gives the news to the tribe.

### Day 14

Gubat enters into the challenge site first and they are followed by the Sapa tribe without Rhett. The Gubat is shocked based on their decision to vote out Rhett. The two tribes compete in the reward and immunity challenge "Head and Shoulders". The Gubat tribe wins steaks, sausages, vegetables, condiments, and wine and will avoid tribal council. Before Gubat leaves back to their camp, Destinee is told to check in with medical first. Sapa is given a date to go to tribal council tonight.

The medic takes a look at Destinee's injury, still deeming her injury unpredictable at the moment. They inform her that they will check with her tomorrow and if it's still looking unchanged she'll be able to continue in the game, but if anything changes they will have no choice but to pull her from the game.

On the Sapa tribe, Jamir, Jasmin, Luz and Oren are discussing their options on who to send home. The group comes up with either Danna or Erika will go home. They weigh the pros and cons of both members.

Jamir mentions that he would rather see Erika go home because she's unpredicatable while they know that Danna is with them. Oren counters his view by saying he would rather see Danna go home despite really liking her in the game. Oren says that he finds Danna as a threat for their alliance.

Jasmin chimes in and weighs her opinion. Jasmin believes that Erika should be the one to go home next. Luz agrees with Jamir and Jasmin. The three of them decide that the target will be Erika.

Jasmin speaks with Rashad about the vote tonight. Rashad tells Jasmin that he's thinking Oren should be the person to go home tonight. Jasmin lets Rashad know that the votes are most likely going to fall onto Erika. Jasmin tells Rashad that no one wants to take out big shields in the game. Rashad understands the move and will vote with Jasmin.

Jasmin speaks with Danna planting seeds of doubts about Luz. Jasmin tells Danna that Luz is going to vote for her tonight. Danna become furious over the thought. Danna ask Jasmin whether they can count on her vote which she agrees that she won't vote for Danna tonight.

Jasmin speaks with Luz about Danna voting for her tonight, but not to worry because if they take out Erika tonight they'll be able to get rid of Danna next. Jasmin tells Luz if they try to flip the votes that it could backfire on them. Luz agrees.

The Sapa grabs their torches as they begin to head into tribal council.

At Tribal Council, the tribe discusses whether their losses are coming from tribe strength or tribe communication. Danna weighs in and mentions that communication with the tribe hasn't always been the best for them. Danna directly names Luz as a member who can fail to communicate with the tribe. Luz admits she hasn't had the best communication, and flips it to pin it on the votes that have been cast against her have made her paranoid. Jeff points out that Luz has never gone home over these votes which Luz says "Not yet." Jamir is asked whether tonight's move is based on tribe strength or tribe communications which he answers saying both. Jamir says the person he wants to go is someone who hasn't always performed well and communicated with the tribe. In the end, Jamir, Jasmin and Luz get their way and Erika is voted out in a 5-2 vote, leaving Danna in the minority.
