## Story

### Night 30

The Yaman tribe returns back to camp after Nick's elimination. Kieran lays his torch on the tree and heads directly to the shelter.

Meanwhile the Sapa Alliance sits around the fire talking about the events that went down at tribal council.

### Day 31

The following morning, the tribes meet at the reward challenge where they compete in "Body Slam." The players are surprised by visits from their loved ones. The competition order of elimination is as follows: Rashad, Danna, Cristina, Kieran, Jasmin. Jamir and Oren are the final two are forced to answer out in order to win the competition. After incorrect a question, Jamir eliminates himself making Oren the winner of the competition. Seeing Danna's annoyance for getting out second, he chooses to bring Danna and Jamir on the reward to a trip to Jellyfish Lake to swim among stingless jellyfish with their loved ones.

On the reward, Oren and his girlfriend, Ariana, Jamir and his brother, Jarron, and Danna with her brother, Juan, arrive to Jellyfish lake.

The group work their way down a rope all the way into the water with the stingless jellyfish. The group's excitement over touching the jellyfish radiates throughout the whole trip.

Back at camp, Cristina approaches Rashad to discuss what went down at the challenge.

Cristina asks Rashad what his thoughts are on forming a sub group within the alliance with themselves and Jamir. Rashad mentions that Jasmin would have to be included inside the alliance as well. Cristina tells Rashad that it has to be one or the other because they won't be able to beat both of them at the end.

Rashad agrees to including Jamir into the alliance. Cristina tells Rashad that she will have the talk with him as soon as he returns from the reward.

Later in the day, Oren, Danna and Jamir return from the camp. The group talk about the experience and their loved ones visits.

As soon as the trip reward conversations end, Cristina whisks away Jamir from the group where she pitches him the idea of forming a final three with Rashad. Jamir tells Cristina he would be okay with that, but he wants to know who they would target at tribal council. Cristina confesses she's leaning more towards Danna or Jasmin. Jamir tells Cristina that they still have immunity to wait and see, but they will table the conversation.

### Day 32

The following morning, Jamir does yoga on the beach.

Oren walks over to Jamir as he's doing yoga. Jamir continues to do his yoga, but tells Oren to listen closely what he's about to tell him. Jamir throws Danna under the bus by telling Oren that Danna was really upset over the challenge, and even though you still took her that she doesn't have the same amount of trust with him anymore. Jamir expresses his concern for Danna's faltering loyalty and tells him that they may have to take her out.

Oren displays disbelief at first over the situation. He rants to Jamir about choosing her to go on reward and still feeling salty towards him. Oren tells Jamir that if that's what is comes down to that he'll do what's best for their games.

Oren confesses to Jamir that he's been hearing Jasmin's name being thrown around as well. He tells Jamir that she was a potential person going home at the next tribal council, but now that Danna is acting crazy that they should work together to flip it on her. Jamir agrees.

### Day 33

The Yaman tribe enters the challenge site to compete in the "Philippines Folklore" competition. The competition comes down to Jasmin, Kieran and Rashad. Pulling off the unexpected, Kieran wins individual immunity.

As the merged tribe returns to camp, everyone congratulations Kieran on his individual immunity win.

Danna, Jasmin and Jamir discuss their votes tonight where the women agree that Cristina is going to be the person going home tonight. They agree before they split up to tell the plan to the rest of the original alliance.

Jamir meets up with Oren who he asks if the vote is still going to be Danna. Jamir tells him that the votes are there for her.

Cristina rushes to Kieran to tell him that the vote is going to be Danna tonight.

Cristina makes her next stop to Jamir and Rashad to make sure the plan is still going to be Danna. They both agree.

Before the tribe begins to grab their torches, Jamir stops Jasmin and lets her know that the entire tribe is voting out Danna tonight. Jasmin tries to change Jamir's mind quickly, but Jamir tells her that the decision is already made and no one is going to flip. He reassures her that his loyalty is still with him, but he needed to tell her before tribal so she doesn't feel blindsided. Jamir thanks him. The tribe begins to grab their torches and head into tribal council.

At Tribal Council, the jury's excitement is seen as Kieran walks into tribal council with the immunity necklace. The Sapa alliance is asked whether the vote for tonight is an obvious one to the group, or if there will be a blindside tonight. Cristina mentions she's the obvious target to go tonight since she wasn't part of Sapa. Oren reassures Cristina that every vote so far has been complex and things aren't always simple as that. Raising concern for Danna, she points out that Cristina has been a physically good player and a strategic player as well. Jasmin is asked if she's concerned for Cristina's gameplay which she answers saying Cristina has managed to work her way into an alliance and for that alone she should be considered a good player. Once the votes are tallied and read, Danna is blindsided in a 5-2 vote with only Jasmin voting with her.
