Thanks to Shane's thoughtful action to play his idol for the better of the tribe, the 301+ Tribe found themselves going right back to tribal council. Buckley sarcastically wondered what would happen if the game was played fairly without unfair cheats being added in to aid players. Felix laughs off Buckley's cynicism and praises the twist, saying that it's all about the love that the supporters choose to give their favorite players. This angers Buckley, leading to him calling out Felix as an irritating showoff who manipulates others to glorify him as a god when he is nothing but a loser. Felix warns Buckley against insulting him, claiming that his "Bro Army" will punish him for not praising him as the great person he was.
When Buckley and Doug get together to discuss who to vote out, they have differing opinions. Buckley wants Felix gone before people start to act as his sheep and allow themselves to be manipulated by his "satanic powers", but Doug wants to keep the tribe strong and suggests that voting out Kandee or Natalie would be better. Later, it's revealed that Buckley had received the Subscriber Idol for the tribal council, making him give a confessional that both thanked his fans and insulted them for actually partaking in such a stupid twist. Wanting nothing more than to get Felix out of the game, Buckley said he was going to use his idol to count as two votes. He decided to ask Jenna and Justine if they would be fine with voting out Felix, since he secretly considered both girls really stupid. Doug, meanwhile, went and asked Anthony and Toby to vote out Kandee, since she was the weakest girl on their tribe and he felt it was best to fight fire with fire and save the big moves until later.
At tribal council, emotions began to rise as Buckley once again called out Felix for his godlike status that he seemed to glorify himself in. Felix mocks Buckley, saying that his "Bro Army" is enough to showcase that he was loved and he was a good person. Buckley then points out that most of Felix's fans were nothing more than little kids who did not have minds of their own, and Felix is nothing more than a manipulative king of propaganda and useless information no one cares about. The entire tribal council pretty much just ends up with Buckley and Felix arguing, each one calling the other names. Felix summed up Buckley as a "rude, hypocritical asshole", and Buckley called Felix a "sad, pitiful excuse for a human being". When it came time to vote, Buckley used his idol to make his vote count as two, but this just ended up forcing a 5-5 tie. Buckley, Jenna, Justine and Kandee all voted for Felix, while Anthony, Doug, Felix, Natalie and Toby all voted for Kandee. On the re-vote, Buckley's idol was now void, so Felix was spared when Kandee was sent packing with a 4-3 vote.

Following the fourth straight female voted out of the game, another huge twist shook up the game in a big way. Instead of the usual tribe swap, this time the two tribes MULTIPLIED. Now instead of two, the 16 players were separated into tribes of four. By random draw, the four new tribes were chosen. The Google Plus Tribe consisted of all females, the Subscribe Tribe featured two ranters and two famous movie and video game critics, the 301+ Tribe ended up putting together four very different personalities, and the Thumbs-Up Tribe was the only one to get an equal gender balance of two males and two females. Only one would team would continue going to tribal council, and the Subscriber Idol would remain in play each round.
At the first challenge with the new four tribes, it was clear that the powerful Subscribe Tribe were in control when they finished first. The tribe of all females, the Google Plus Tribe, finished with an impressive second place. Fighting not to be last, the crazy Anthony managed to push the Thumbs-Up Tribe into third place. The dejected 301+ Tribe were the first tribe to go to tribal council as a tribe of four.
VOTE TO GIVE THE SUBSCRIBER IDOL TO SOMEONE ON THE 301+ TRIBE, BUT ALSO VOTE OUT SOMEONE FROM THE VERY SAME TRIBE! YOU CANNOT VOTE THE SAME PERSON ON BOTH!
