## Story

### Day 8

The entire tribe felt mixed on Isabella's elimination. Camryn was grateful to be alive, the girls were happy that their plan worked, and the boys felt like their entire alliance was about to be decimated.

Eyal and Rallin had an urgent discussion about their future in the game. Both believed that unless some sort of shake-up happened, their time in this game was very limited. They agreed that Matthew was someone they needed to get back on their side, but were worried that Matthew wouldn't be easy to get into their alliance, due to his apparent individuality.

Adora and Camryn bonded even more around the fire. They too believe Matthew is an important person to have a discussion with the next morning, to ensure that he's still on their side. Adora is impressed by Camryn's maturity.

### Day 9

Brianna confronted Alex about their apparent drifting apart. Her actual intent behind this conversation is damage control.

This conversation backfired immediately, after Alex lied to Brianna about whether or not Victoria told him rumors about Brianna. He didn't want to throw Victoria under the bus, but by doing so, he annoyed Brianna, who saw through his lies.

Jonah, Kalyani, and Lauren fished out in the water. Jonah managed to catch a fish with the Hawaiian sling, which impressed the entire tribe. Kalyani expressed her wishes to learn how to use the sling herself some time in the future, and Jonah believes that Kalyani is a likeable person he can see himself aligning with.

Liam collected and read the tree mail for the tribe, and the message lead them to believe that the reward challenge would be related to balance. As per usual, Shin Maw hyped each other up, in hopes of securing a sixth challenge victory. Alex said he wanted to sit out, but Lauren and John disagreed and believed Alex should sit out of the immunity challenge instead due to that challenge being more important. Lauren caught on to Alex's laziness.

At Pyin Sa, upon discovering what the challenge would be, everyone agreed they needed to put everything they had into giving the tribe a win. Rallin had a pep talk with the entire tribe, explaining how communication is something the tribe needs in order to prevail in challenges.

Everyone agreed to have better communication in the future, and also agreed to work on the shelter after the reward challenge, because it still wasn't too great.

At the Reward Challenge, Brianna fell off the balance beam twice, and Emmanuel took incredibly long to get himself across. This gave Pyin Sa a lead in the challenge, which they maintained all the way to a victory.

Pyin Sa was ecstatic with their victory. Everyone celebrated their reward, but more importantly, they celebrated the triumph and satisfaction that came with winning a challenge.

Shortly upon returning to camp, Matthew made a joke about Eyal not voting Isabella out, which had Eyal wondering about the decision he made the previous day.

Rallin had the idea to solidify an alliance with Matthew, to try and win Matthew's trust and take it back from the opposing alliance. Matthew admitted to feeling lonely in the first few days of the game, and only recently having people talk game with him. Rallin admitted that the girls were just using Matthew as a number, which he didn't like at all.

Meanwhile, Alexa managed to catch the very first fish from Pyin Sa, which was met with applause and cheering.

For Shin Maw, things weren't looking as good. Immediately upon returning to camp, Emmanuel found a spot by himself and broke down into tears of guilt and shame.

While talking about Emmanuel, Alex suggested that he could have just sat out of the challenge. This made Lauren incredibly mad.

John was also growing frustrated by Alex, and he and Lauren vented their frustrations to Emmanuel while simultaneously leaking what he said about Emmanuel while he was crying.

Victoria, Alex's closest ally, also grew aware of people's negative perceptions of Alex, and shared this information to him. Victoria believed that Alex's only possible chance at reintegrating into the tribe was through making amends with Brianna, who seemed to have successfully done exactly that already, but Alex refused due to his newly-formed rivalry with her.

### Day 10

While collecting palm fronds, Eyal confessed to Mia that he was unsure about his position in the game or where he stood among his allies. He also admitted that he believed the opposition would target him for his weakness in challenges.

He told Mia that he felt like his alliance was a sinking ship, to which Mia responded by providing him the opportunity to work with her alliance. He said he would consider.

Although Eyal asked to keep the conversation a secret, Mia immediately told Alexa about Eyal's ideas, and this information later got around to Adora and Camryn as well.

It turned out that Alexa actually was planning on targeting Eyal, but upon learning that Eyal was considering flipping to her side, she dropped the idea completely. The focus completely shifted to the remaining three boys instead on who to target.

On Shin Maw, Kalyani and Victoria discussed the ongoing rivalry between Brianna and Alex. Both girls agreed that they don't really know where they stand on the tribe, but Kalyani tipped off to Victoria that she should try making connections with the majority the same way that she did.

Victoria also vented her frustration about Alex's incompetence as an ally, and annoyance that Alex is refusing to do anything about the target on his back.

Jonah and Lauren were also discussing Alex, who seemed to have made himself the public enemy of the entire Shin Maw Tribe. However, in the midst of their discussions, Lauren tripped over what was at first believed to be a rock. They dug out what Lauren tripped over, and realized that it was a pot with liquid in it and a note on the front. After breaking the pot, they learned that it was an immunity idol.

As the night came around, Eyal and Brandon on Pyin Sa discussed their worries about a potential tribal council for them the next day. Eyal confirmed (albeit through lying) to Brandon that he would not flip to avoid rocks.

Eyal and Brandon discussed who to target. Eyal threw out either Camryn or Adora, and Brandon suggested that they target Adora, because Camryn deserves a break. Eyal agreed.

Eyal returned to join Mia and Alexa around the fire, and the three of them resumed discussions about Eyal's potential flip. Eyal remained unsure of what decision he was intending to make.

### Day 11

On the morning of Day 11, John exclaimed to the entire tribe that he encountered a sea snake while trying to go to the bathroom.

To make the morning even more of a comedic train wreck for Shin Maw, shortly after this, Emmanuel sat down on the hammock, only to later discover that he ended up sitting on a fish by accident, causing it to burst. This was much to Jonah's disdain, as he had caught that fish and stored it there to keep it away from the sand, bugs, and rats.

When tree mail came along, it was a puzzle instead of a poem. John realized the puzzle was alphanumerically translated, and he realized that he was good at this sort of thing, so he quickly solved the puzzle on the parchment to prove this.

Alex promptly offered to sit out of this challenge (again), even though Brianna suggested he could do the puzzle.

At the immunity challenge, Pyin Sa started off with a lead, mainly due to Brianna's odd and controversial decision to saw the ropes with her machete instead of chopping them, which made her go a lot slower. However, Eyal and Camryn fumbled the lead on the puzzle, and when Emmanuel came up with the strategy to solve the puzzle before placing the pieces on the table, he and John were able to catch up to and pass Pyin Sa to give Shin Maw their third immunity win, much to the disappointment of Pyin Sa.

Although Emmanuel was very happy with his performance in the challenge, not everybody was. Controversy stirred around the camp following the immunity challenge after people started to believe Brianna might have thrown the challenge in an underwhelming attempt to get Alex out of the game for once and for all.

Kalyani told Brianna about these likely suspicions everybody had, which made Brianna frustrated. She said that she wasn't stupid, and knew that that would even up the numbers, which could be disastrous in the event of a potential tribe swap.

Alex also caught on to the idea that Brianna might have thrown to get him out, which he told John about. Alex told John that he hated Brianna because he believed that Brianna hated him too.

Later, the whole tribe predicted who would be eliminated. They landed on Eyal or Camryn as final guesses due to bad challenge performances, but let it be known that anything could happen.

At Pyin Sa, Camryn and Eyal felt very guilty about their loss for the tribe.

And then, the whole tribe went silent for a good five minutes, each of them aware that they'd have to vote somebody out again.

Adora and Camryn discussed if they would be targeted or not, but Adora reassured Camryn that they would likely not target her a third time, and instead target Adora because she would be less likely to have an idol played on her. Camryn brought up how nice it would be to have the immunity idol, and in response, Adora showed her that she found it, much to Camryn's shock.

Brandon and Rallin were also worried about their status as potential targets, as well as the possibility of Eyal getting roped in by the girls' alliance.

Eyal joined this conversation midway, and told them that he was indeed voting with them that night. Brandon confessed his fear that he was the likely target from the girls, which made him a lot more insistent on being a part of the strategy at this tribal council.

Eyal admitted to the girls that he still hadn't made up his mind, and they did one last bit of pleading before tribal council. Mia said that she would respect whatever decision Eyal made.

At tribal council, everyone knew the stakes and agreed that the vote was likely to tie up. Sure enough, when the votes were read, Adora received 4 votes from the boys, and Brandon received 4 votes from the girls. This meant that Alexa, Camryn, Eyal, Matthew, Mia, and Rallin had to vote again for either Adora or Brandon.

Eyal switched his vote on the revote to Brandon, which eliminated Brandon from the game, much to everyone's surprise. Brandon became the fourth person voted out of *Survivor: Myanmar*.

## Challenges

* Reward
* Immunity
**Challenge:** *By The Numbers*
The members of each tribe line up on a very narrow balance beam. One tribe member at a time, they must move across the beam and around the other tribe members. The person crossing can only touch one member at a time. If two people touch at once or a member falls into the water, they must start all over. Once a member reaches the platform, the next person may proceed. The tribe who gets all their members across first wins.
**Reward:** Additional fishing gear, and a wide array of spices
**Winner:**
Pyin Sa

**Challenge:** *Blade Runner*
 One by one, members of each tribe will run out with a machete to one of six stations, chopping wooden beams concealing ropes to release a puzzle plank, and then bring the plank back to the start. Once all six planks have been retrieved, the remaining two tribe members will use those puzzle planks to assemble an alphanumerically-translated word puzzle, and solve the puzzle. The first tribe to solve the puzzle correctly wins immunity.
**Winner:**
Shin Maw
