Voting Confessionals
"njano"

- You've saved me at various points throughout this game and have shown me nothing but loyalty and respect to my face, unfortunately I'm aware you're closer to Evan and Cali than you could be to me and cutting you out is what's best for me right now !!!!

"njano"

- It's ironic that as I'm closing in on my 100th day I can undoubtely say this is the worst I've ever felt casting a vote in my four runs here. You've been nothing but loyal to me and have saved me multiple times before, and I wanted to repay that by getting Nora to go over you but people are fucking selfish and want the goat to stay instead and my hands are tied based off my f2's with Chris and Nicole. I feel awful about this and I don't expect your forgiveness but the last time I played I learned a valuable lesson from someone that you have to be willing to let go of your close connections behind closed doors to propel yourself further .. and given the hand I'm dealt, this is my best bet. I'm so sorry Natalia, take care.

"njano"

- game recognize game, time to start clearing a path to the end

"njano"

- girl you can't just come after me tribal after tribal, spread lies about me and then come to me with a plan to vote someone else out in the 11th hour. Loved our talks but there's absolutely no solid game relationship. voting you out here opens up the option to flip with cali and while not being on the bottom of ur duo. hope u enjoy ur vacation

"njano"

- this is the choice i made between the two plans i was offered to be apart this round. I think this is the smartest. I love you from the bottom of my heart and im sorry for this. I hope i survive this vote. If this is a mistake, it will bite me so hard. If not, well, i don't think this is a mistake tbh. Love you girl

"njano"

- can this just work thanks

"njano"

- Watch this flop (: but i'll take my chances & try to do something than be at the mercy of men oop

Episode Summary
Following tribal council, the castaways returned to camp. Natalia noted the multiple reasons why a counter-insurgence might have fallen through, namely Nora potentially protecting Chris over Evan and Evan choosing to protect Nicole over her alliance. While Natalia theorized, other castaways planned her demise, with Chris noting either Natalia or Cali should leave to undermine Evan and Nicole stating that Natalia’s former status as the leader of the prey coupled with the rumor started last round made her a threat to her personal game. However, both Nicole and Jack noted that despite intending to advance with Chris and Evan, they wanted to take them out once they were no longer useful shields. Amidst this, Evan planned on targeting Nora and protecting Natalia in the event that he won immunity.

At the reward challenge, the castaways were surprised with visits from their loved ones: Nora reunited with Alyssa; Evan reunited with Alissa; Natalia reunited with Hunter; Cali reunited with Boo; Nicole reunited with Benj; Chris reunited with Dani; and Jack reunited with Grace. Castaways and their loved ones then competed in Morph O'Matic to obtain an advantage at the upcoming immunity challenge. Nicole emerged victorious. At the next immunity challenge, castaways competed in the Stair Climb endurance task, wherein they had to climb a multitude of stairs in a short period of time. After a commendable effort across the board, Evan won immunity and a one in six shot at the title of Sole Survivor.

After the immunity results, multiple castaways tackled the balance between needing shields and potentially enabling those shields to advance too far into the game. Nora felt that the best move was to target Chris, but sensed hesitation from Natalia who she believed still wanted targets in over her. Natalia, meanwhile, hoped to either flush Nicole’s idol or eliminate Chris from the game. Amidst this personal ambition, the alliance of Chris, Evan, Cali, and Natalia planned to split their votes onto Nora and Nicole. Natalia and Cali then felt they could capitalize on the divided votes and pull Nora in to vote Chris while Jack, Nicole, Evan, and Chris split their votes, allowing them to orchestrate a 3-3-1 with Chris and Nicole receiving the majority of the votes.

With Nora now being seen as pertinent to both sides’ plans, she retained a newfound swing position if she could pull Nicole onto the plan to eliminate Chris. However, due to the aforementioned argument Natalia presented to her about shields, she decided it might be the smarter move to keep Chris and Evan in as targets above her. While Nora shifted her agenda, several castaways did the same. Jack noted that Natalia had repeatedly excluded him from discussions on the game while Nicole felt frustrated over another attempt to flush her idol. Once they presented this idea to Chris, he was more than happy to flip, cementing a majority of votes on Natalia. Despite Evan retaining a desire to eliminate Nora, he failed to gain traction with the tribe and fell in line with the majority.

Meanwhile, Natalia and Cali remained unaware of the shifting tides and aimed to cement their plan by informing Nicole of their desire to eliminate Chris. Nicole, however, noted that she was offset by how disposable she was to their alliance at multiple junctions in the game and remained with her faction of Chris, Jack, and Evan. Accordingly, at tribal council, Jack, Nicole, Nora, Evan, and Chris came together to vote Natalia off, with Natalia and Cali casting their lone votes for Chris.
