Final 8
Back at camp, the only standing alliance was Lex, Nicole, and Sundra.
At the immunity challenge, Jed came down with individual immunity.
Back at camp, Amy impresses the rest of the castaways by being polite and friendly even though her closest allies were just voted out. Paloma and Nicole begin to bond and they think that working together would benefit them both in the end. Nicole privately goes to Sundra and they decide that although Lex is a good ally, they don't know if they could beat him in the end. This trio also aligns with Lydia since they don't think anyone will vote for her, and they also align with Jed, as an easy number five. Lex gets his alliance to go after Amy, because he is convinced she has an idol since she seems so calm even though she is at the bottom. Lydia wants Lex gone because she thinks that he is the biggest threat in the game. Amy wants Nicole gone for being a schemer, and for always looking like she's up to something. Sundra and Nicole decide to vote with Lex, and they get their new allies, Jed, Paloma, and Lydia to vote with them. However, Lydia gets Paloma to vote Lex as a back up plan if she has the idol. She didn't however, and even though she and Rory both voted Nicole, everyone else had separate plans, and Amy was voted out 4-2-2. Since she had the legacy advantage, she handed it off to her early ally Rory.
Final 7
At the immunity challenge, Sundra wins.
Nicole has a meltdown after getting votes at the past tribal council, and got very paranoid. Lex started to target Jed, and after Nicole told Jed this he went to Lex and confronted him. Lex didn't lie to him, and Jed got upset and they had a fight. Paloma decided that if Nicole would rat her ally Lex like that, she didn't want to work with her, so she left the alliance, leaving only Jed, Lydia, Nicole, and Sundra. Jed began to target Paloma because she was a schemer, and he figured that they could get Lex out later, even though he disliked him so much. Rory wanted Lydia out just because he didn't like her. Sundra and Nicole took a stand against Lex and they voted for Paloma along with Lydia, leaving only Rory, Lex, and Paloma voting for Lydia. Paloma went home by a vote of 4-3.
Final 6
After tribal council Lex tried to keep Nicole and Sundra on his side as much as possible, otherwise he'd be left without an alliance.
Sundra won immunity and won a steak reward and brought Rory and Jed to ensure that they would stick to the alliance.
Sundra tells Nicole and Lydia that she wants Jed out since he's a threat, and Lydia runs off and tells Jed. This causes Jed to freak out, and leave the alliance. He thanks Lydia and owes his life in the game to her. He plans to bring her to the finals. Rory begins to target Lydia after seeing her align with everyone. He gets Jed to finally succumb and vote with him. Rory tries to get Lex, Sundra, and Nicole on his side. At tribal council, Rory plays his Legacy Advantage any votes against him won't count. However, no one voted for him anyways. After Lydia hears that Jed is voting for her that sealed his fate, and she voted with Nicole, Sundra, and Lex for Jed, sending him home in a 4-2 vote.
Final 5
The castaways get word that a new idol is hidden at camp. Everyone goes looking for it, Lex and Rory the most, since they knew they needed it. Finally, Rory found it with out anyone seeing him.
At the immunity challenge, Rory came down with a much needed win.
At camp Nicole thinks about the game and how the jury will vote. She thinks that she has to work a lot harder around camp and catch some fish for the tribe. She went out in the ocean, and when she returned with fish the tribe was pleasantly surprised. Nicole and Rory bonded and Rory wants to take Nicole to the end with him after this conversation. Sundra and Nicole are now forced to choose to either stay loyal to Lex or turn on him. Sundra decides she wants to turn on Lex, but Nicole is completely unresponsive and decides she wants to stay loyal to Lex, because . This pisses Sundra off to no end. Nicole gets Rory on board and he votes with her and Lex to vote Lydia out of the tribe. Lydia votes for Lex, but it is to no avail. Sundra votes for Nicole to signify that she isn't happy with her decision. Lydia is sent home in a 3-1-1 vote.
Final 4
At the final immunity challenge, Lex pulls out a much needed win.
Back at camp, Nicole and Sundra apologize to one another, but Sundra really wanted to blindside Nicole because the major decisions they made, they made together and at the end she wanted all the credit. She gives her plans to Rory, but Rory sees this as a perfect oppurtunity to tell Lex and Nicole so they'd turn on Sundra and he'd find his way to the finals. Lex and Nicole didn't know whether to believe him, so they went to Sundra. Sundra lied right to their faces, but she knew that they knew. She tried to get Rory to force a tie so she would at least have to make fire, but Rory remembered how that went last time and he didn't want to wait that long, so he voted with Lex and Nicole to take her out.
