## Story

### Night 33

The Yaman returns to camp after Danna's blindside.

Kieran and Oren take a walk on the beach.

Oren and Kieran talk about continuing to vote together with Cristina to take out Jasmin next. Kieran agrees to the idea, but asks for the fourth member. Oren mentions they can bring in either Jamir or Rashad that the choice would be up to them.

Oren and Kieran agree to table the conversation until after the next immunity challenge. They head back to camp with the rest of the tribe.

### Day 34

The following day, the tribes enter the challenge site to compete in the "Pole Dancing" reward challenge. With no real competition during the challenge, Kieran wins reward. He proceeds to choose Cristina and Jamir to join him on the reward. The three of them leave camp while the remaining three head back to camp.

At the reward, Kieran, Cristina and Jamir step out of the bus with supplies for the children at a local school.

They start to hand out the supplies as the children gather around them. They start taking the supplies from them, erupting in excitement.

Kieran goofs around with the children at the school and joins in with Jamir to play basketball with them on their court.

During the lunch, Kieran takes the opportunity to pitch to Jamir to vote out Jasmin if she loses the next immunity challenge. Cristina backs up Kieran on his quest to pitch Jasmin, while Jamir seems reluctant to vote out Jamir.

Jamir continues to play with the children before leaving. Giving Cristina and Kieran time to talk about their families and how this trip reminded them of home. Kieran promises to invite Cristina and her family over for thanksgiving one year. Cristina wholeheartedly agrees that they must do it.

As the tribe return back, Cristina, Jamir and Kieran share their trip with the tribe. Everyone marvels over the trip and expresses how they wish they were taken on the reward.

### Day 35

The following morning before the challenge, Jasmin stares off into the sunrise pondering the moves made at the previous tribal council.

Jasmin's view on the two men have started to interfere with the camp life. Oren quickly notices Jasmin's shift in vibe as the morning proceeds. He takes Jasmin down by the beach to discuss what's going on. Though Jasmin denies any change in vibe, Oren continues to call out Jasmin and tells her that he doesn't understand why she's acting this way. Cristina walks down to the beach, hoping to join in the conversation that turned into Oren thrashing Jasmin.

Jasmin tells Oren to leave it alone that there is nothing going on. Oren tells Jasmin that she's being shifty at the wrong stage of the game and it'll come back to bite her in the buff. As the confrontation ends, Oren storms away and Cristina quickly follows behind.

At the "Deja Vu" immunity challenge, the six players competed in the first round which resulted in Jamir, Oren and Kieran moving onto the second and final round. In a showdown between Kieran and Oren, Kieran was able to pull off his second individual immunity win.

Returning to the camp after the immunity challenge, Jasmin makes her way to talk with Jamir first. Jasmin tells Jamir that she wants Oren to be the one to go home next. Jamir agrees that Oren would be the smarter move to make. Jamir confesses to Jasmin that Oren will be writing her name tonight. Jamir tells Jasmin that he can get Rashad to vote with them. Jasmin tells Jamir that she'll try to swing Kieran's vote over as well to avoid a tie.

Jamir finds Cristina and Rashad talking together where he interrupts their conversation to discuss the vote.

Jamir throws out flipping the vote to Oren instead of Jasmin. Jamir describes Oren as trying to player the mastermind in the game and always trying to flip on people in the game. Cristina is adamant on keeping the vote as Jasmin while Rashad is more open to the idea of voting out Oren.

Jasmin finds Kieran and tries to reason with him on why he should keep her to stay. Jasmin shares the story about her mother needing the money and her wanting to be the person to give that money to her.

Kieran tells Jasmin that he has to think about it.

The tribe begins to grab their torches to head into tribal council.

At Tribal Council, Kieran was commended on his second immunity win which again brings smiles to many of the jury members. Kieran is asked whether he needed this immunity win. Kieran responds by saying the immunity win always feel necessary for him, but after the previous tribal council that there have been cracks in the Sapa Alliance, mostly between Jasmin and Oren. Jasmin explains that Oren made a move to flip on Danna and leave her out of the loop. She continues to say that Oren has painted her as the outsider and the next to go.

Oren defends himself by saying he has treated Jasmin the same, but Jasmin has not always treated him the same way. Jasmin mentions the incident that happened this morning. Jasmin describes that there have been sides with Oren, Cristina and Kieran forming a tight three, and she's trying to get Jamir and Rashad to join their side. Cristina is asked whether this is great news for her, and she agrees that for the first time in the game she has the chance to be in someone's top 3. Jamir expresses his concern with her comment, asking what does that make him. Jamir points out that he has had close relationships with nearly everyone here, and now he feels like he's being forced onto a side.

Rashad is asked on his take on the sides and expresses that he feels Kieran is going to vote how Cristina wants to vote tonight and he will be voting on how Jamir votes tonight. Jasmin pleads to Kieran that Oren is going to be a snake again and take him out once his immunity wears off. Oren pleads with Jamir that they have been together since the start and he should know that more than anything else in the game.

The merged tribe eventually went to cast their votes. The tribe was asked if they had any hidden immunity idol to play, which none were currently active in the game. The first vote went against Jasmin, and the second vote went towards Oren. The votes continued to go back and forth between the two until the vote resulted in a 3-3 tie between Jasmin and Oren. Oren sharing a concerned look with Jamir before the revote commerced, only allowing Cristina, Jamir, Kieran and Rashad to vote.

Jeff then read the results: two votes each for Jasmin and Oren, deadlocking the vote. The castaways were told that in the events of a deadlocked vote, if Cristina, Jamir, Kieran, and Rashad could make a unanimous decision to vote out Jasmin or Oren, that person would become the 6th member of the jury. If not, Jasmin and Oren would become safe, as would Kieran with the Immunity Necklace, and Cristina, Jamir and Rashad would draw rocks.

Jamir opened the conversation saying that if he flips his vote now that he will be the next person to go. As Oren tried to assure him that wasn't the case, and Jamir persisted. Cristina informed Rashad that if he continues to vote with them, they will win the game no matter who they sit next to. Despite their efforts to come to a decision, Cristina was the first to decide she was willing to go to rocks. Jamir followed, leaving only Rashad to decide. Rashad looked between everyone at tribal before saying he has to stick to his relationships that were made in the game. He decided that he would draw rocks as well. Jasmin rubbed her hands together as she said "It's finally happening."

Jeff established the rules of the rock draw. Three rocks were in a bag – two black, one white. Cristina, Jamir, and Rashad would each take a rock, and the person who drew the white rock would be eliminated and become the sixth member of the jury. Rashad drew first, followed by Jamir, and finally Cristina. The three held out their palms and revealed their rocks. Cristina drew the white rock, and was eliminated.

As Cristina revealed her rock, her face drops onto her lap in disappointed. Worry begins to spread across Oren's face, sadness spreads across Kieran's face while Jamir and Jasmin both smile in excitement towards each other. Cristina grabs her bags, hugs Kieran, and whispers "good luck" in his ear. Cristina placed her torch down to get snuffed then follows the trail out to jury.
