Jeff tells Bernard to give Shekinah a last hug.

Jeff calls out Feleysa's wife, Orie. Orie runs to Feleysa and kisses her. Feleysa is laughing and crying at the same time. Jeff asks Orie what's the best about Feleysa.

Feleysa says she feels like she has never accomplished her goal in life and in Survivor. Jeff asks why.

Jeff calls out Bartosh's brother, Damian. Bartosh smiles broadly and hugs his brother. Jeff asks Damian about Bartosh. Damian says that Bartosh is his role model, because he's 12 years younger than Bartosh so he was always seeing an authority in him. Bartosh says that maybe they were having some fights when they were much younger, but now Bartosh is looking after Damian, as he's only 17.

Jeff calls out Kira's sister, Jerri. Jerri hugs her sister and Kira cries a little bit. Jeff asks Kira about her relationship with Jerri.

Hannah kisses him. Jeff asks Hannah about how she met Julius. Hannah says Julius used to be a very calm and introverted man.

Then Jeff tells Bartosh, Kira and Shekinah to pick one last person. They all agree that Lena needs it, as she's crying since her husband came here.

The winners are going to the reward with their loved ones, while Daniel, Feleysa, Jude and Julia have to say goodbye to their loved ones.

The winners of today's Reward Challenge arrive at barbecue with their loved ones. They start to eat and talk with each other. Julius and Lena are thankful to Kira, Shekinah and Bartosh for picking them.

Julius tells Kira, Shekinah, Bartosh and Lena that he really loves this group so maybe let's do what everybody wants to do. Everyone says they're ok to do whatever they have to do. Julius says let's vote out Jude. Kira and Shekinah say they're on board.

Shekinah's father tells her how much he loves her and he's proud of her. Shekinah starts to cry saying she's really enjoying time she's spending on Survivor, but she feels like this is it. Bernard asks her what she means. Shekinah says she feels like if she's not going to win this season, she has to focus on her life, researches about cancer and family, because now she feels more connected to her real life than ever before. Bernard kisses Shekinah on her forehead.

Everybody on reward is having a great time. Back at camp, Feleysa, Daniel, Jude and Julia are talking. Daniel asks Julia how she feels about her position right now. Julia feels like she's too much associated with Bartosh and she feels like it's making her a huge threat. Daniel and Jude tell her that's true. Daniel says they should make a move on Bartosh and finally vote him out, because nobody is really working with him, Bartosh is always working on her own using people around.

Feleysa talks with Daniel about their dynamic relationship this season. Daniel says he thinks they should make a Final 3 deal with somebody. Feleysa says she really wants to keep Jude and he's a target from the other side. Daniel asks Feleysa how much. Feleysa says Jude is next one to go, everybody talks about it. Daniel says let's do a Final 3 with Jude. Feleysa hugs Daniel.

Daniel talks with Jude. He tells him that he was a target yesterday, but he has won immunity and that's why Ciara was voted out. Jude is shocked. He asks Daniel how he knows it. Daniel says Feleysa has told him everything. Jude asks what Daniel wants to do now. Daniel says the Final 3 of himself, Jude and Feleysa is his ideal plan right now. Jude shakes Daniel's hand.

### Day 31

The Matamonoa tribe wakes up. Jude and Shekinah are talking. Jude tells Shekinah he feels like he's totally alone in this game and he has only Shekinah. Shekinah hopes that something changes. Jude tells Shekinah that Daniel has told him that Jude was a target last Tribal Council, but because of him winning immunity it was Ciara who went home. Shekinah says the other side is really sneaky. Jude says they need to make a big move, but they need Feleysa to be the fifth alliance member. Shekinah hopes Kira is going to stay loyal too.

Shekinah talks with Kira about two sides fighting with each other. Kira says she knows that and this is very risky. Shekinah asks Kira what's going to do. Kira says she needs to vote with people that are going to keep her further which are Daniel, Jude and Shekinah. Shekinah says she knows that and she hopes Feleysa joins them. Kira says she hopes Feleysa is going to help them too.

### Day 32

The Final 9 of Matamonoa Tribe arrive at the Immunity Challenge. The castaways must balance on a small perch while holding a buoy with two handles. The last person holding their buoy and still on the perch wins immunity. The challenge starts. In the end it's between Bartosh and Kira, but Kira is the winner of this challenge.

The Matamonoa tribe returns to the camp with Kira wearing an immunity idol necklace.

Kira, Shekinah, Jude and Daniel talk about voting out Bartosh. Shekinah says that would be the best option for everybody, because nobody would flip for Bartosh.

Daniel, Kira, Julius and Lena are talking. Daniel talks about how they used to work together. Julius says for him it has never ended, they just have had other plans. Kira asks them who are they thinking about. Julius says about Jude. Daniel tells him he totally understands this plan, but what about voting out Bartosh. Julius thinks it's too early. Kira says they really want to vote with the majority. Lena says then they have to vote out Jude.

Julia talks with Bartosh. She tells him that she really doesn't like the idea of voting out Jude tonight. Bartosh wonders why. Julia says that Jude has won this game, so in the finals he's good to sit next to her, because she doubts the winner would win against somebody who has played four times like her. Julia mentions that Bartosh doesn't have any chances against non-winner too. Bartosh agrees.

Julia, Bartosh, Julius, Lena, Daniel and Kira are talking. Julia tells them about voting out Shekinah, because it would be an easy vote and Jude is a good person to take further, because he's not going to win it. Lena says she thinks he has big chances of winning. Bartosh says for him keeping Jude would be good, because he has any chance at finals, because now he's losing against everybody. Julia says that's the reason why Shekinah should go home, because she was never voted out and now she can play this "card" as her advantage if she would reach the Final 3.

Lena, Feleysa and Julius are talking. Lena says she really doesn't know if voting out Shekinah has any sense. Feleysa says it's good, because they can be ok with Kira and Daniel and then vote them out. Julius agrees with that. Lena says ok, but next time it's Jude.

Shekinah, Jude, Kira and Daniel are talking. Jude wonders if they have the votes to stay. Daniel says that people are talking about Bartosh, but they should talk with Feleysa. Shekinah agrees.

Shekinah, Jude and Feleysa are talking. Shekinah tries to convince Feleysa on voting out Bartosh tonight, because they have votes against him. Jude says that if she would not vote for Bartosh tonight, it's going to be him going home. Feleysa tells them she knows that and she hopes nobody flips.

At Tribal Council, there's 2 votes against Bartosh with 7 votes against Shekinah making her 12th person voted out and 5th Jury Member.
