Following Miley's shocking elimination, Stefani hugged Taylor and expressed gratitude to her for keeping her in the game. Since the rules were twisted for the season, both females remained all by themselves at their camp, no merge in the future unless they would lose the next challenge. So, both Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift had some girl time with just the two of them. Taylor openly discussed her problem with men and sought advice from the older, more mature Stefani. The eccentric Stefani told Taylor that everyone makes mistakes in life, but what was important was that she acknowledge her own failures before pinning all the blame on others. Once she was mature enough to look in the mirror and realize she's not perfect and she had to correct herself before seeking romance and companionship, she could then start to grasp what life was really about. Taylor took the words to heart and began to think about all her past mistakes and how she could start to better herself as a person. Later, both women prayed for one another that they could win the next challenge and not have to go against one another in a do-or-die elimination challenge. God heard their prayers and allowed them to somehow win the next immunity challenge.
After the Anaconda tribe lost, Nicki angrily insulted Marshall for letting them lose to two skinny girls who were lucky to still be in the game. Marshall attacked her back and once again, the two began to get into a loud, verbal altercation. Meanwhile, Harry and Justin both had a talk on who to vote out between Marshall and Nicki. Both boys acknowledged that both rappers were hotheaded train-wrecks who likely would get no votes in the end, so losing either one probably wouldn't make a difference. Ultimately, Justin realized it was time to cut bait with Marshall, since Nicki had done more for him, and to be fair Marshall was a slightly bigger threat to win the end, since more people liked Eminem than they did Nicki Minaj. However, wanting to make a big move to oust Justin much like Taylor had done against Miley, Harry went to Marshall and told him about Justin's plan to blindside him. Nicki, eavesdropping from up in a tree she had climbed into for some reason, immediately relayed this information back to Justin. Even though he didn't want to believe it, after seeing Miley be eliminated, Justin knew that Harry was likely trying the same thing, and he had to stop it.
At tribal council, both Marshall and Nicki's relationship was brought into question. Marshall said that Nicki was just a bitch and didn't care who she insulted or hurt while tearing a path of destruction towards her goals. Nicki counted this by saying people were just jealous of her openness to express her emotions and opinions, and just because she didn't say things that others wanted to hear, they judged her negatively. Marshall angrily claimed this to be false, since he never hated Nicki, and that Nicki continued to attack HIM for no reason throughout the whole game. Nicki just ignored this by holding up her hand in Marshall's face, which just infuriated him even more. Justin was then asked if either Marshall or Nicki was leaving tonight, since both seemed to be too much to handle heading towards the homestretch. Justin said that that was originally the plan, and then went silent. When it came to the vote, Harry and Marshall both voted for Justin, while Justin and Nicki both voted against Harry. Just before the votes were read, however, Justin pulled out the final immunity idol in the game, saying that the tribe had no room for traitors. A disappointed Harry Styles was then sent to the jury in a 2-0 vote after the two votes against Justin were negated.

Dark Horse Tribe:

Taylor Swift
Seeing up to be a memorable, insane final five, both tribes realized that if the Dark Horse tribe lost the next challenge, there would be one final merge with four players. However, if the Dark Horse tribe WON, there would be one monstrous final challenge that would automatically put two players into the final two while the other side had to duke it out to earn their spot in the final three. As the Total Drama Survivor gods wanted, Stefani and Taylor DID indeed win the final five challenge, sending the Anaconda tribe right back to tribal council to set up a crucial vote that would give us the final four.
