Night 15
At Sento-Ki, Kim goes up to Carter and demands why he flipped. Carter explains that if he didn’t, it would have gone to rocks with the possibility of him going home. Kim says it was a risk that they needed to take and that because he flipped, he would be at the bottom. Kenneth lashes out on Carter, saying he is at the bottom of his new ‘alliance’ and he screwed everyone over. Luke watches the fight quietly.

"sento-ki"

- Carter screwed me over. I felt betrayed because we had just started talking about our personal lives and I would have left my original alliance to go with him to the end because I felt a bond between us. That bond is gone.

"sento-ki"

- Carter got a beating when we got back. I don’t blame Kim and Kenneth, Carter betrayed them.

As everyone else goes to sleep, Luke and Kenneth sit by the beach. Kenneth congratulates Luke on getting Carter to flip and the two shake hands. Luke says he knows what it feels like to be put on the outs by someone who is hungry for power. Kenneth says he is willing to work with Luke at any point in the game. Luke agrees, saying he liked Kenneth as soon as he saw him and wanted to work with him. Kenneth asks who he’s tight with from his original tribe. Luke says his only real ally was Heather because Julie and Walker were originally against him. Kenneth says he is tight with Ben and Gerard from his original tribe and wants a six person alliance consisting of three people from each tribe to go all the way until the Final Six. At the shelter, Julie wakes up and watches the conversation from afar.

"sento-ki"

- So I wake up and see Kenneth and Luke talk at the beach. I hope this doesn’t get Luke to leave us.

When asked if anyone on his tribe was undyingly loyal, he says Walker was blindly loyal to J.T. so J.T. would have to go in order to have Walker join with them. The two shake hands and agree with work with each other.

"sento-ki"

- I don’t know where this alliance will go but I do like the idea of three people from both tribes working together to the Final Six. Hopefully Heather, Ben, Gerard and Walker are in on the idea.

At Senshi, Gerard lashes out on Andrea, J.T. and Ally for flipping. Ben keeps quiet during the confrontation and keeps his composure. Andrea says that he got lucky because he was originally going to get blindsided. The trio then leave to go down to the beach to celebrate. Carly walks up and tells Gerard ‘That’s what you get for trying to align with J.T.’ Carly tells the two everything J.T. did on Senshi. Gerard tells Carly that, while they might not like each other, they need to work together to get J.T. and Ally out. The three shake hands.

“Gerard and I came to an agreement. Us two plus Ben are gonna work together to get J.T.’s ass out.” -Carly

Day 16
In the morning, Luke and Heather talk about Kenneth’s offer. Heather is unsure because Kenneth is desperate to stay. Luke reassures her that the alliance could work. Just then, Kenneth walks up and asks if Luke had told Heather. He says he has but Heather has some doubts. Heather says she is unsure if it would work because Walker, Ben and Gerard might not like the idea. Kenneth reassures her that he can get them to commit to the alliance.

"sento-ki"

- I’m not sure if this alliance is a good idea. But I trust Luke with every ounce of my being so hopefully this works.

At camp, Carter tries to apologize to Kim for betraying her but she brushes him off, telling him that he is an immature child and bases his decisions off emotions. Kim then leaves to go to the beach.

"sento-ki"

- It sucks that I had to betray Kim like that but that’s the game. But I’m scared that I ruined my chances of winning, even if I get to the end.

Kim sits at the beach and Julie comes to comfort her. Kim says that she and Carter had started to get to really know each other’s necks for over a week. Julie says if it makes her feel better, Carter will go before her or Kenneth if they go to Tribal Council again. Kim thanks her and the two hug.

"sento-ki"

- I know how hurt Kim is by Carter so I think it’s best to get rid of Carter next. The dude bases his votes off of emotion and if we piss him off, he’ll try to get us voted off.

At Senshi, Carly, Gerard and Ben watch Andrea, Ally and J.T. go down to the well to strategize. Gerard says they should throw the challenge to vote off J.T. Ben says voting him off would be hard because it’s three against three and at best, they would draw rocks. Gerard says he is willing to take the risk to get J.T. out.

"senshi"

- J.T. pisses me off. He’s basically running things and I need to be running things. If it comes down to rocks just to weaken him, I’ll take that chance.

At the well, Ally and J.T. suggest Gerard next and keep Carly on their side and once Gerard is gone, they will run the tribe. Andrea agrees and says she will be with them until the very end.

"senshi"

- Andrea shocked me. I thought she was a strategic player but I see she’s nothing but a blind sheep that will ride me to the million.

Without Andrea, Ally compares Andrea to Walker, as in she will be undyingly loyal to them no matter what they say. They share a laugh at Andrea’s expense.
