Day 9

Ozzie and Elyse are in a cot together and Jim sees that they are pretty close with one another. Jim and Cochran talk strategy and Jim says that Elyse and Ozzy are getting cozy together and that it may be a good thing to get rid of Elyse so that they can make a dent into the beautiful category and see if there will be a sort of fall out. On Upolu, Brandon says that he has decided to be a better player and person. He apologizes to Mikayla and she says that it is alright, but says that she doesn’t trust him. Brandon talks to Edna and says that there is a Core Five and not a Core Six. Back in Savaii, they get tree mail and they decide to send Jim and Cochran to the duel later. Jim tells Ozzy that they need to strategize and he says that they can take it easy. When they leave, Ozzy points fun about it, but Dawn doesn’t buy it.

Duel time and Christine and Papa Bear come into the arena to battle it out for the spot in the game still. It is a toss game. Brandon says that he is sorry to Christine and says that he is making amends with everyone. Christine accepts the apology, but doesn’t buy it. The duel begins and right away, Christine is doing a good job with getting the bags on each of her barrels. However, Papa Bear climbs in there and catches up to her. After being neck to neck, eventually Christine wins the duel and stays alive in the game. Papa Bear says that it was good to be in the game, but it is over now for him.

Day 10

On the Upolu tribe, Edna is nervous that she is going to be the weakest link on the tribe thanks to Brandon planting the seed of doubt. She tries her best to try to show that she is useful around the camp and asks to wash people’s clothes and walk on one another’s back. The other tribe members are not too thrilled of her constant questions and helpful nature. Back on the Savaii Tribe, Dawn tells Cochran that Ozzy and Elyse are really close and Dawn agrees that Elyse is a threat and that it would be good to get rid of her.

Immunity Challenge time and they are going to have to add weight to three members of the tribes. The reward is going to be chickens. The challenge begins and after 30 minutes and at 180 lbs, Keith drops the weight. Albert is out of the challenge too after he drops the weight. Jim and Brandon have 240 lbs and they both drop their weight. It is up Dawn and Stacey who are the only ones left and Stacey is the one who drops first. Savaii wins the Immunity and Reward.

Day 11

The Upolu tribe gets back to camp and Edna goes up to Stacey. She says that she feels that she is the weakest in the tribe and that she may be in danger of going home. Stacey doesn’t like the fact that Edna is worried about everything and says that they should vote out Edna before her because she proved her strength and says that she is tough. Coach comes to Stacey and asks how she is doing. She says that Edna is the weakest and says that she has to lie to kick it and be lies to Brandon that Sophie, Albert and Mikayla are having their own alliance. Brandon believes her and goes to Coach. He tells him to relax and not to believe Stacey about it. He tells that he doesn’t care what she said and Brandon needs to not worry about it. Brandon asks how many people screwed over Coach. He says that he is a good judge of character. Coach says that Brandon could ruin the alliance.

He cries and says that he is trying to show that he is being good and playing the game honestly. Jeff says that was emotional and says that the voting begins. Afterward, the votes are tallied and it is Edna with 1 vote and Stacey with 4 votes. The fourth person voted off is Stacey. She doesn’t care to say goodbye to them and refuses to give them a hug. She says that the hugs are fake and that she will be back. The episode ends.
