"Attitude over gratitude."

**"Attitude over gratitude."** is the third episode of 39 Days: Mexico.

## Storyline

### Day 7

As the Ajusco tribe returns after the sacrifice ceremony, Hana speaks up and asks who it was who voted for her. Katie pulls her aside to inform her that she thought Hana was ditching the girls alliance because of a comment that she made during the ceremony. Hana reaffirms to Katie that the alliance will only work if the men of the tribe do not find out about it.

The next morning, Daniel fixes up rice for his tribe. As he scoops it out, nearly everyone is grateful, except for Erica and Jessica, who both turn their noses up at it.

Erica announces that Derek and Hana both cook rice better than Daniel, and Jessica chimes in to claim that Daniel is only good for gathering fire wood. Daniel storms down the beach to cool off in privacy.

Meanwhile, on the other beach, Jace is sitting alone on the beach, deep in thought.

Camila approaches Jace on the beach. She apologizes for leaving him out of the food search party, but she insists that she has no alliance with Tim or with Joey. Jace tells Camila that he trusts her word, and is open to working with her as well.

Jace grabs the attention of Sam and Jamie, and the four officially meet and shake on their new alliance. Jace proposes that the name of their alliance be 'Tlalocked in' and the others agree because they don't really care about the name of their alliance.

### Day 8

As the Tlaloc tribe wakes up in the morning, Stefani begins asking around for everyone's water so she can refill it at the well. Jamie decides to pitch in, helping to carry the water bottles off to the well.

As the pair walk off, Tim jokingly refers to them as the mom and dad of the tribe, which raises a response from Jace.

When Stefani and Jamie arrive at the well, Stefani asks Jamie if he had made any deals with other members of the tribe, and he claims that he has not. Stefani says that she will not write Jamie's name down, and Jamie promises to do the same.

Meanwhile, the two remaining men of Ajusco sit under a palm tree, talking strategy. Derek points out that he thinks the women may have aligned and pitted the men against one another. Daniel believes that the only shot of them making it to the merge is if they win every single immunity challenge from this point on.

Derek points out that Katie would most likely be the easiest woman to flip due to her somewhat oblivious nature and the fact that she voted for Hana because Hana lied about the existence of a girls alliance. Derek and Daniel make a fist bump promise to watch each others backs and do what they can to survive on the bottom.

### Day 9

The two tribes arrive at their third immunity challenge, which five players from each team swimming out to grab puzzle pieces, and one person to solve the puzzle. Tlaloc picks up an early lead thanks to Camila and Tim, while Ajusco lags behind as usual. Stefani begins working on the puzzle much earlier than Erica, but Stefani barely makes any progress with her lead, allowing Erica to catch up rather quickly to win immunity for the Ajusco tribe.

The Tlalocked In alliance meets to discuss the vote. Jace becomes insistent that Stefani go, while Jamie tries to push Imelda's name out more. Jace asks Camila and Sam to break the tie, and they both decide that voting off Stefani would be better for the alliance and the tribe in the long term.

Jamie finds Stefani, Imelda and Joey chilling around the fire, and tells them that there is an alliance of four, naming the members of Tlalocked In group. He tells Stefani that it is her head on the chopping block tonight, but that they still have time to outvote the Tlalocked In members as long as they can get to Tim.

Stefani says that Sam is the most expendable member, and tells everyone present to vote her, so that it will be a tie in the worst case scenario. Imelda and Joey seem totally on board, while Jamie is conflicted.

Sam catches Tim while he walks to the water well, and asks him about his vote, which he claims is 100% undecided at this point. Knowing her name is being thrown out, Sam asks that Tim join her alliance to make the numbers 5 over 3. Tim says that he will consider voting for Stefani, but will talk with the other side to see who they want to vote.

Tim asks Stefani who she wants to vote, and Stefani explains that she will vote for Sam in order to break up the big alliance on the tribe before they can take over. Tim says this logic makes sense, but that he hasn't made his mind up yet.

The Tlaloc tribe enters the sacrifice ceremony. Chase asks Jace what the qualifications he is looking for as far as sending people home. Jace says that this round should be simple, as one person clearly cost the tribe the challenge. Stefani argues that the tribe will not survive without her, as they rely on her as the Firestarter. Jace claims that she only has that role because she insists on taking the flint whenever someone else tried. He follows up by mentioning that Sam is a great team player, and that voting her out will only weaken the tribe. Chase breaks up the argument by sending the contestant to vote.

Chase reads the votes.

Everyone, including Jamie, acts confused when his name comes up.

Stefani announces that she hopes the tribe enjoys starving without fire as she makes her exit.
