Just is the one that came up with the idea of the Express Pass. Essentially, it grants the castaway (in this case, Viola post-swap) immunity at Tribal Council; however, she's not allowed to vote at the tribal where she uses it. Not knowing 100% sure where she stood on her tribe, Viola played it post-swap, although she did help Gavin secure Ruben's and Karlie's votes to eliminate Dianne.

Ruben used his vote steal post-swap at the same Tribal where Viola used her Express Pass. Ruben and Karlie wanted to over-throw the power duo of Alistair and Dianne, but unfortunately, they needed Paul's vote. As such, Ruben chose to steal Paul's vote and write Dianne's name down, sending her home.

At the final 8, the alliances were tied in the numbers 4-4. On one side, there was Ruben/Karlie/Phyllis/Marielle. On the other side, there was Viola/Juarhala/Paul/Daniel. Not wanting to draw rocks, Juarhala used her vote steal to steal Ruben's vote and use it against him, eliminating him.

At the final 7 however, Marielle got revenge on Juarhala. Since Juarhala's alliance now had the advantage with nobody willing to budge, Marielle used her vote steal to take Juarhala's vote and use it against her, eliminating Juarhala.

As for Nathan's game, he didn't have much to speak of in the early going other than the fact he was part of an alliance with Alistair, Dianne, and Paul that eliminated Katrina for being weak in challenges (alongside the alliance of Ruben, Karlie, and Marielle).

After the swap, he became close with both Akina and Marielle, especially Akina. Peter and Juarhala both saw this and tried to keep Akina with them to send Nathan home, but Akina flipped to their side anyway, eliminating her rival, Peter.

Once the merge hit, Nathan stayed with Akina and Phyllis and rejoined the alliance of Ruben/Karlie/Marielle, and Nathan was on board with getting rid of Alistair. Around this time however, Gavin found the Hidden Immunity Idol, and made the mistake of telling Akina about it. Akina then told Nathan about the idol, he told Marielle, and eventually word about Gavin's idol made it around camp. When this got back to Juarhala however, she grilled Gavin about who else he told about his idol, and he freaked out, stressing that Akina was the only other person he told besides her and Viola. As such, Juarhala then made the call that Akina needed to go, especially since she already knew Akina and Nathan were tight. So, Juarhala gathered the rest of the tribe to split the votes between Nathan and Akina, with Akina ultimately going.

Nathan had no allies left at this point, so he went balls to the wall and scrambled hard in the next episode, roping in outsiders Daniel and Paul, who didn't trust him, but they chose to join him because they didn't have any other allies at that point (they were aligned with Alistair at the merge vote). After Paul won immunity, Nathan called out Ruben in front of the tribe, painting him as the one that had all the power and was running things. Nathan then did the exact same thing at Tribal, and although the Viola/Juarhala/Gavin trio considered siding with him at that point, they stuck with the rest of the tribe and joined in on the split vote between Nathan and Daniel, with Nathan taking the fall.
