- Fifteen Survivors are left, who will be voted out tonight?
- Night 9
- After tribal council, the Kota camp is very quiet. Kelly is upset because she lost her partner and wants Ace gone.
- Ace compares tribal council to getting his wisdom teeth pulled out. He didn't think Kelly had enough animosity towards him to cast a vote his way and wants her to be the next lamb for the slaughter.
- Day 10
- At Fang, Randy brings up his concern about their rice supplies dwindling. Ken tells him they will start reserving tomorrow and not to worry, there's enough.
- Crystal notices that Susie, Randy, Matty and Dan left camp together and feel the four will turn against the three back at camp, Crystal, Ken and GC.
- The contestants are given a test where they rank the members of their own team from top to bottom. They are asked to fill out their tally board in private.
- Kota: Marcus, Ace, Bob, Charlie, Jaquie, Corrine, Sugar and Kelly is last.
- Fang: Matty, Dan, Randy, Crystal, Ken, GC, and Susie is last for their tribe.
- Crystal is upset she is only number four; Kelly is upset she was ranked last. Randy admits no insight to seeing how the other team ranked themselves.
- Time to pick new tribes! The highest ranked person from each side will be the first to pick, the people they choose will will pick the next tribe member.
- The new Kota tribe is Marcus, Dan, Charlie, Randy, Corinne, Susie, and Bob.
- The new Fang tribe is Matty, Ace, Crystal, Jacquie, Ken, Kelly, and GC.
- Sugar was not picked and will leave the teams uneven. She will go to exile until after the next tribal council and join the team that loses a member.
- Kota welcomes the newest members to their camp. Dan tells the group that if Matty was here, they would have the perfect team.
- Bob is already working, bringing wood. Susie picks up on the work quickly and wants to show her value in her work.
- At exile, Sugar chooses to get the comfort instead of the clue, as she's already found the hidden immunity idol. She gets to sleep in the little hut with fresh fruit and sleeps in a hammock.
- Crystal welcomes the newest members of Fang to their camp. GC thinks he is a good position, better than with his other tribe. As they talk about gathering food, Ace earns a few brownie points as he knows more about raw vegetation than the rest.
- Ken brings up how well he thought the Kota camp got along, Kelly pipes up very quickly that she was excluded from her tribe and she is ready to be a member of Kota. Kelly spills all the information from the other tribe, including who is aligned with who.
- Day 12
- With today's treemail, the tribes receive a lacrosse stick and a ball. Their mail reads: Practice, practice, shoot and toss, like water polo meets lacrosse. Time to show them who is boss. You can never afford an immunity loss.
- Susie wants to try her best, but mentions that being 47 in this game is taking its toll on her.
- Marcus wants to see the performance of Randy and Susie to determine who he wants to be voted out.
- At the challenge they get in a round raft with a paddle. They will race to gain possession of the ball using the lacrosse type sticks and pass the ball to their team-mates in an effort to get the ball in the goal. The first team to score three points wins. You cannot fall out of your raft and touch the ball.
- Jacquie gets to the ball first for Fang, but looses it quickly. Marcus gets the ball and passes it to Randy. Score one for Kota. Kelly, Ken and Crystal are just floating around as they are unable to get their rafts to move in the right direction. In round two, Marcus gets the ball quickly again and passes it to Randy. Score two for Kota. In round three, Ace takes more of a lead, but Marcus gets to the ball first. Ace is fighting for control of the ball, Marcus gets it back. Marcus tosses the ball to Randy. As Randy tries to score, the ball is blocked by Matty. Dan picks up the ball and tries to score, but it is again blocked by Matty. Randy scores for Kota.
- Kota has won the immunity idol. Jeff calls it "The worst performance I've seen at a challenge."
- At the Fang camp, GC says that the first glimpse of their tribe isn't so great. Ace compares their tribe to looking like legless chickens racing against sleek weasels.
- GC laughs at Ken telling him that "You sucked out there." Matty tells Jacquie that she did pretty well. Kelly stands up and says "Over it." GC doesn't like her attitude and wants Kelly to go home.
- Crystal, Ken and GC decide they want to keep Ace. GC wants Kelly to go home, the other two agree. GC reminds them that Sugar may have the immunity idol and Sugar is working with Ace and Jacquie. You can see the wheels turning, the smoke coming from their ears.
- Matty joins the group and he can't believe they want to vote out Jacquie. Matty says he'll vote out Jacquie, but he's not happy about it.
- Matty goes straight back to camp and tells Jacquie of the plan to let her go. Jacquie pleads with Matty to let them know that Kelly sucks.
- Ken explains his thought process to Jacquie, she tries to turn the table appealing to the numbers that will be left in the game and she states many times that she wants to be in an alliance with Ken. The conversation has Ken ready to switch his vote to Kelly and keeping Jacquie in the game.
- Jacquie and Crystal walk off. Jacquie pleads with Crystal to keep her, using a soft spoken voice and a few tears. Crystal is also second-guessing herself.
- At tribal council, GC says every time you lose someone, it gets harder and harder. Matty wants to keep this tribe as strong as possible. Ken doesn't trust any of the new members and wants more time to get to know them. Matty admits he doesn't trust Ace, but he wants Ace on his side. Ace knows they have to prove themselves. Jeff asks Kelly if she's worried about going home tonight. She believes that there were other members that performed weaker than her, Crystal and Ken. Crystal says that this was only one challenge and it just wasn't her cup of tea today. Ken says that Kelly and Jacquie need to be worried tonight.
- Time to vote.
- Jacquie has been voted off of Survivor. Sugar will return from exile island and join the Fang tribe.
- Next week, an elephant is close to camp while GC goes missing right before a challenge.
- Jacquie's last words include that she is so upset, but she did see it coming. She feels like if she made it one more round she could have made it to the end. She'll be waiting for when they get kicked off.
