After Heidi's eviction, the Survivor Queen competed in a rather difficult HOH, and in the end, Natalie successfully managed to win her first HOH of the season.
At the HOH Ceremony, Natalie explained, "Well, I was planning on doing something completely different with this HoH just because I felt like I should try to trust some certain people as they have told me to do several times. I literally was about to do that until I was informed of this "plan". I honestly don't understand why you would make this chat, after trying to get both of us out early game, but it was done and now I have to deal with that. I knew I needed to win this HoH for that reason alone. I should have gone with my gut the entire time, and with these nominations I am doing that. I have decided to nominate R.C. and Tasha. Good luck."
At POV, it was Tasha who won, and she had no trouble deciding what to do with it. After Tasha removed herself from the block, Natalie named Stephanie the replacement nominee, explaining, "I have no one else to choose, so good luck, Stephanie."
