Upolu Tribe - Mike, Russell S., Shambo, Russell H., Ashley, Kelly, Yasmin, Monica
Coming back from Tribal Council, the alliance of Ashley, Kelly, and Monica is joyous, but they realize that Marisa's boot may have just delayed the inevitable, since the three of them still have a minority in the tribe.
Russell H., on the other hand, becomes extremely confident; believing that he can now get these other players to do exactly what he wants them to do. That very night, he announces to his alliance-mates, Russell S., Mike, and Shambo and Yasmin, that Kelly is the next to go, followed by Monica and Ashley. Shambo agrees, but she is worried that the men might stick together and vote off her and Yasmin afterwards.
At the reward challenge, the 8 players are randomly split into two teams. The Yellow team is Yasmin, Kelly, Monica, and Russell S. The Purple team is Russell H., Shambo, Ashley, and Mike. After a fierce showdown, the Yellow team emerges victorious, and they will visit a nice waterfall to have a picnic.
However, Jeff then announces another twist. The four members of the Yellow team will partake in another challenge, a test of throwing rocks to break tiles, and the winner gets an additional prize, a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol. Yasmin emerges victorious, although Kelly, Monica, and Ashley know that there is no Hidden Immunity Idol to be found, since Kelly already has it in her possession.
Back at the Upolu camp, Russell H. uses this chance to talk with Ashley alone and to try to get her on his side. He offers her a Final Two deal (which he obviously has no intention of keeping.) He tells her that as long as Kelly goes first, then anybody else except the two of them can go afterwards.
On the reward, Kelly and Monica take a similar opportunity once Russell S. steps off for a short time. They question Yasmin about her position in Russell's alliance. Yasmin tries not to reveal too much information, but she says she's close with Shambo, and she's open to suggestions. Monica suggests that they could vote off both Russell's and then Mike, and take her and Shambo to the top. They even say they can vote out Ashley once they get to the Top 5. Yasmin thinks this is a good idea, but she says she will have to talk to Shambo once they get back to camp.
The 8 players meet together again in time for the Immunity Challenge. Shambo ends up winning immunity.
Returning to camp, Yasmin reads her clue for the Immunity Idol and starts to search for it. Of course, she is unable to find it, because it is already gone. Yasmin still isn't sure that Kelly has it, but now she begins to suspect it.
Yasmin talks to Shambo about the possibility of voting out Russell S. tonight. She points out their inferior position in their current alliance, and she also mentions that Russell S. has already won 2 Individual Immunity Challenges. She says; however, that if Shambo would rather stay loyal to Russell H., then she would honor that.
Kelly lets Ashley know that Shambo and Yasmin would possibly flip on their alliance and vote out Russell S. She asks if they're sure, and they say not completely. Ashley doesn't let them know about Russell H.'s offer, but she believes that if Shambo and Yasmin didn't flip sides, then it would be better to stay on Russell H.'s good side and not vote out one of his allies.
Tribal Council comes, and Jeff asks if anyone has a Hidden Immunity Idol and wants to play it. Kelly feels confident enough, and she keeps her idol. Jeff reads the votes:
1st vote - Kelly
2nd vote - Kelly
3rd vote - Kelly
4th vote - Russell S.
5th vote - Russell S.
6th vote - Russell S.
7th vote - Russell S.

How will Russell H. fare after one of his allies was just blindsided? Will Shambo and Yasmin stay with their new alliance, or are they at the bottom of that alliance as well? Next episode will be a double-elimination! Who will be voted out next... and who will win the million dollar prize?
