 * After being eliminated day 2, Libby and Jedediah duled it out to re-enter the game. Libby became a member of the new merged tribe.
 * Brock shared the clue he had found to a hidden immunity idol with Stephen in hopes of rekindling their former bond. Only have Stephen tell his entire alliance, leading to a mad dash to find the idol. In the end Dan's quick thinking lead him to beating everyone else to the sought location.
 * The Elgon alliance pulled Libby into their corner, and played their idol at tribal council to blindside the Luhya alliance. Unfortunately they played the idol on the wrong person, and Brock was voted out of the game.

Night 19
The clouds are heavy, but there's enough of a break in them to allow the pale glow of the moon through to illuminate the camp as the tribe returns. It's quiet, very quiet. The jungle remains still, and the castaways remain silent.

With a sigh, Rachael leans her torch against a nearby tree. Lynsie senses her anxiety, and gives her a hug.

Libby doesn't say a word, and keeps her distance from the rest of the group. Everyone knows it was her who had switched her vote, as her body language told the whole story during tribal council. She can feel the tension, and knows the simplest word could cause somebody to erupt. Everyone heads to bed, except for Nessa to heads down to the lake shore. In the moon light, you can see her silhouette performing yoga on the beach.

Day 20
The sun rises on a new day, and it's hot. The remaining 9 castaways decide after twenty days out in the jungle, that they deserve a day off from their responsibility.. Stephen carves the twentieth tally into the side of the tree, and everyone heads down to the beach. Nessa gives a yoga lesson that Rachael, Libby, and Lynsie all take part in, while everyone else is in the water. Everyone else that is, except for Johnathan.

Lynsie see's the dejected Johnathan sitting alone on the beach, and leaves the yoga lesson to join him. She had a feeling as to what was going on, and knew it would be a touchy subject. She doesn't say a word about anything, she just sits with him and they begin talking about their lives back home.

The two share laughs, and play tic tac toe in the sand until everyone's ready to return to camp.

After awhile the two once again find themselves alone together in the shelter. They start throwing different strategy idea back and fourth, and realize they both have a lot of similar ideas and feelings about the game. It's the first time they've really had a genuine game talk together and they both view it as a window opening to new possibilities. Johnathan asks Lynsie to give her word not to say anything, and reveals he thinks that the game needs a big upset for either of them to stand a chance. Lynsie agree's and claims she's not as dumb as she may appear. Johnathan voices concerns that they're both being used for numbers, and when the time's right that they'd both be dropped.

Johnathan suggests that they leave camp so their conversation can get a bit more in-depth. The two leave down one of the paths into the jungle, then they turn and walk a few minutes off the path and into the woods. Johnathan purposes the idea of an underdog alliance, which perks Lynsie's interests. The two begin to whisper,

Johnathan: If Corinne, Dan, Shaun, You, and Myself all team up.. we might not be able to win competitions, but we'd have the numbers to remove those competition winners from the game. We could knock out Stephen, Libby, Rachael, and Nessa all back to back. It would be a huge upset! And I know you're close to Rachael, but it's a game and we have to play it.

Lynsie: It is a game. This would be huge, nobody would suspect the five of us to work together.. let alone possibly be in a final 5 scenario.

Johnathan: I'm scared because Corinne's a strategic mess. She jumps into these idea's and is so quick to try and flip flop. We need her for a vote, but if she gets shakey.. that's it. We'll have to tell her straight out.

Lynsie: If she thinks we're threatening and confining her this wont work. Stephen's skin and bones himself, I don't think it would hurt the idea of an underdog alliance if we included him. If we did, Corinne could flip all she wanted and we'd still have numbers. Heck, we could work with him instead of her!

Day 21
It's early morning, the sun has yet to rise and everyone deep into their sleep. Normally the castaways have a hard time sleeping due to the fact they're sleeping on merely twigs and leaves, but due to the fun and activities from the day before they're all exhausted. Corinne wakes up in order to use the bathroom. As she's about to climb back into the shelter, her stomach rumbles and roars. She's starving. She stops in her tracks, and looks to ensure everyone's still sleeping. Normally, you wouldn't be able to eat anything without someone noticing as rice isn't the most discreet thing to serve yourself up in the middle of the night. However there are still some fruit, vegetables, and bread left over from the merge feast. Corinne walks over to the basket, and helps herself to the goodies inside.

After enjoying a good midnight snack, she crawls back into bed. Quick after her stomach starts to rumble again, but this time it's a different kind of rumble. Corinne never took into account she hasn't really eaten over the past three weeks, and never thought to pace herself. Although if she's one thing, it's thick headed, and determined. She layed through the sick feeling for the whole night, knowing that if she got up she'd just get sick. Getting sick would not only waste food, but leave evidence of her midnight shenanigans for others to find.

Corinne lays in the shelter unable to sleep, and the sun starts to shine it's orange gloss over the jungle she decides to get up. The sickness passes and she decides to drink lots of water to help hydrate herself, but she begins to suffer cramps so strong she almost felt like she was being stabbed in the guts. She jokes to the camera that it's worse than childbirth. Karma got her this time, but Corinne deals with the stomach cramps insisting that it's still worth it to her.
