## Story

### Day 8

The next mornin, Gubat tribe awakes after their first tribal council. Kieran happy over the outcome at tribal council.

Cristina wakes up in the shelter, staring at everyone left in the game.

Later in the day, Mao talks with Autumn and Kieran.

Mao proposes that the three of them look out for each other and protect each other from being targeted at Tribal Council. Autumn and Kieran agree and they all shake on it.

Meanwhile on the island, Sloane and Grant are having a conversation about what they do. Grant lets Sloane know he is runner. Sloane mentions that must runners she knows are taller than Grant. Grant plays the comment off as a joke.

On the Sapa tribe, Jamir is seen bringing tons of fire wood back into camp for the tribe to start a fire. A lot of the tribe is cheering for him as he comes back with five large logs.

As soon as Jamir drops the five large logs, he takes a seat next to Jamir. Jasmin, Rashad, Luz, Erika and Danna talk about Jamir bringing back those logs. They ask him questions about his exercise. Jamir shows off and makes a few jokes. The tribe laughs.

In the background, Rhett walks on the outsider of the group looking in.

After the group's conversation dies down, Jamir leaves the group allowing Rhett to follow Jamir to the ocean. While they are both in the ocean, Rhett makes his pitch about targeting Luz at the next tribal council. Rhett points out Luz's challenge performance and her tribal council sayings. Jamir closely listens to the conversation.

Rhett asks Jamir to help him take out Luz so that they can work together and dominate the game. Jamir thinks a little longer, and says that things can change if they don't go to tribal council next, but ultimately says yes.

### Day 9

Back on the Gubat, Autumn and Kieran are talking strategy and alliances in the game. Kieran asks Autumn whether she feels like she's on the bottom. Autumn says based on the previous vote that she feels like she's in the majority. Kieran asks Autumn whether she's had the time to feel out whether she wants to stick with the protection deal made by Mao. Autumn confesses that she's not too sure and continues to give any vague questions to Kieran.

After her talk with Autumn, Kieran makes his way to his closest ally, Seth. Kieran lets Seth know about the talk he had with Autumn. Seth laughs over Autumn's assumption of being in the majority. Seth reiterates that their alliance holds the power in the game and if they wanted to vote her out that they could. Kieran agrees. Seth thanks Kieran for sharing that conversation with him.

Kieran spends the rest of the day teaching Nick how to start a fire. Kieran gives Nick a motivational speech about why he needs to learn how to build a fire. Kieran says that he will be labeled the contributor for the tribe and no one would ever think about voting him out. Nick agrees and continues to practice the way Kieran instructs him. Until Nick strikes the flint and starts a fire. Kieran starts clapping.

Back on the Sapa tribe, Jamir and Oren are talking about them running Jaiden's vote off. Jamir and Oren agree that if they stick together they will be shields for each other.

Also at camp, Erika's annoying behavior rubs the tribe the wrong way.

### Day 10

Sapa arrives to the challenge site first and are followed in by the new Gubat tribe without Zaid. The tribes compete in combined reward and immunity challenge "Rows and Throws." Sapa wins the challenge forcing Gubat to go to Tribal Council. Before leaving back to camp, the Sapa tribe must select two of their own to head back with Gubat to raid the camp. The Sapa chooses to send Jamir and Jasmin to the Gubat tribe.

The Gubat tribe returns to their camp with Jamir and Jasmin following behind. The tribe welcomes Jamir and Jasmin to their camp.

Jamir and Jasmin debate over which items they want to steal from the tribe. The Gubat tribe tries to stay in the background to not give away clues to what they should steal. In the background, Grant gives a speech to the tribe that they shouldn't let this break their confidence. The tribe appreciates his pep talk.

Jasmin continues to pick up items around the Gubat tribe while also trying to look at the reactions of the Gubat tribe.

Jasmin walks over to the hammock and decides that she wants to take it. Jasmin unhooks the hammock and throws it around her back. Jamir picks up the pan that they have and decides that this is what they'll take. They carry the items and hop on the boat. They wave goodbye to the Gubat where they receive scattered waves back.

After Jamir and Jasmin leave the Gubat tribe, the strategy begins on camp. Sloane approaches Seth about where the vote is going for tonight. Seth tells Sloane that he hasn't heard much, but he has heard that Destinee's name is being thrown around. Sloane believes that they should get her out of the game tonight and tells Seth that her vote will be going for Destinee.

On the other side of the island, Mao confronts Destinee about making her feel like she's the sixth person in the alliance. Destinee is confused by the confrontation at the beginning before clarify that she was not trying to make her seem like she's the odd one out.

Unaware of the confrontation going on, Cristina is standing not too far away from the two women who is overhearing everything.

Cristina finds Autumn and instantly exposes the confrontation she noticed started by Mao. Cristina lets Autumn know that there is a majority alliance in the game and they could be potentially be the next people to go. Autumn a little skeptical of the alliance asks why she believes Mao is involved with it. Cristina tells her that she overheard Mao talking about it.

Autumn asks Cristina who she is thinking about the vote for tonight. Cristina lets her know that her vote is up the air. Autumn says that if they are truly on the bottom that it'll be between them and Sloane. Autumn says for her own safety that she'll most likely vote Sloane. Cristina is hesistant.

The six person alliance meets at camp and briefly discusses who they believe should be the next one to go. The target falls down to either Autumn or Sloane. Nick pushes for Autumn to be the next one to go for not holding her end in the challenges while Kieran and Grant push for Sloane for being more likely to flip in an upcoming swap. The alliance decides on Sloane as the target.

After the alliance disbands, Destinee stays back with Seth to pitch him the idea of flipping the vote to Mao. Seth is concerned that it's way too early to make a flip. Destinee mentions that Mao feels like she's on the bottom of the alliance and will flip on them before Sloane does. Seth tells Destinee that he has to think about it.

Seth finds Mao before the tribe goes to tribal council. Seth lets Mao know about Destinee trying to flip the vote. Mao freaks out over the thought that Destinee is trying to flip the vote. Mao wants to vote out Destinee out now and Seth lets her know that he is down to do it as well. Seth tells Mao that he told Sloane to vote Destinee out, so they have three votes already and they would need two more votes.

Mao mentions that they can get Autumn and Cristina to vote with them to make the vote five to four. Seth asks Mao if they are actually going to do this. Mao says she thinks so. The tribe grabs their torches and head to tribal council.

At Tribal Council, the tribe discusses the outcome of the previous tribal council and whether the people on the bottom of the tribe are worried. Cristina expresses her concern with potentially being voted out after bonding with Zaid. Mao chimes in and mentions that no matter how you voted last tribal that you are never in the majority and could be at risk of going home. Destinee smirks over the comment, believing a blindside is going to happen. Kieran explains that the tribe is focusing on loyalty to the tribe and that being loyal will make or break people's games. Mao and Seth share a look while Destinee looks towards Kieran. With the vote looming, the majority alliance ultimately ends to stay loyal to each other and vote out Sloane in a 7-2 vote.
