Night 29
The episode opens to the final six walking back into camp after blindsiding Pierce. Everyone seems calm except for Sarah who looks a little confused. Joe steps aside with Carl and Ali and they start chattering excitedly.

Joe (elated): We did it guys! We pulled it back!

Carl: I can't believe it! Did you see his face, he was like 'you've gotta be s**ting me'.

The three continue to talk excitedly about the vote, with the camera focusing mostly on Joe.

The three start to talk about what to do moving forward in the game.

Joe: The important thing is that we stick together because if we split then they can easily over run us and all this hard work will have been for nothing.

Ali and Carl nod along, listening to Joe as he lays out a plan.

Joe: Do you guys think Marcus and Cindy will want to vote out Sarah now?

Ali (shaking her head): They're pretty dead set on getting you out so unless you win immunity I doubt they'll go for Sarah.

Joe: Alright. I think Sarah is feeling pretty betrayed so I'll try and get to her before they do.

Ali nods, knowing that Sarah is the key to earning a majority.

The scene changes to Sarah and Joe sitting down together on the cool sand of the beach.

Joe: How you feeling?

Sarah (shrugging): It's tough you know... you're with someone from the very beginning and then they're ripped away from you.

Joe: I know... I know, it's tough.

Joe puts his arm around Sarah and pulls her in for a hug, which she accepts gratefully.

Sarah (leaning on Joe): How did it go for you?

Joe: I'm not really sure... I would've liked to get Marcus out still but I'm still here.

Sarah (half-smiling): Looks like we should've teamed up in the end anyway.

Joe (chuckling): I'm still keen to if you are.

Sarah (after hesitating): I'd be all for that. Marcus betrayed us so I guess it's only fair that I branch out too.

Joe smiles happily. As Sarah seems to smile with new confidence.

The scene sticks to the two of Joe and Sarah talking on the beach.

Joe: And you know if you stick with us you're gonna be my number one because Ali and Carl would never turn on each other.

Sarah and Joe laugh, appearing completely unthreatened by the relationship between Ali and Carl.

The two can be heard chatting and laughing in the night as the others sleep, unaware of the plans being made under their noses before the camera cuts out.

Day 30
The day begins with a shot of a Whitemouth Moray peeking it's head out of a crevice in the reef. The camera cuts to Marcus and Cindy sitting on the edge of the shelter.

Marcus: Have you seen Sarah?

Cindy (nodding to her left): She's been hanging out with Joe, Carl and Ali the whole time.

Marcus: F**k, better get on damage control quickly then.

Cindy: Yeah, you want to take this one? I think that she feels much more betrayed by you.

Marcus (with a nod): Alright, I'm on it.

Marcus and Sarah are shown walking along a trail in the forest, discussing the events of last night's tribal council.

Marcus: So, I just want to explain what happened last night because I feel really bad about betraying you and Pierce.

Sarah: OK, go on...

Marcus: What was happening is that Cindy wanted to vote Pierce out for being a big challenge threat and she had the numbers already. I didn't want to but I went along with it because know I'm on the inside and we can get all the information about the votes.

Sarah (nodding): OK, that sounds smart. As long as we're still cool.

Marcus: Of course, I'm with you till the end.

Sarah nods but doesn't seem to be paying attention. Marcus doesn't notice this but continues to talk.

The two continue to walk down the trail in the forest, Marcus droning on and on as Sarah listens patiently behind him.

The camera shows Sarah talking to Joe and then Sarah talking to Cindy before it cuts out. It cuts back in to an aerial view of densely forested hills, it zooms over a hill to reveal a clearing. As the camera zooms in, the reward challenge set up becomes apparent. There are six wooden contraptions connected to ropes, held down at one end. On the other end of the contraptions, hang a rag doll model of each castaway above a fire. In front of each contraption, where the ropes are held down, is a hunk of wood and machete sticking out of it for each castaway.

Jeff Probst: Come on in guys!

The castaways walk into the challenge arena, coming from the forest, laughing at the rag doll models of themselves, and line up in front of Probst. Once they are all there Probst asks the castaways to each answer a survey of private questions which he will tally up. He gives them, answer boards and pens and instructs them each to find an isolated spot to answer the questions. Once they have finished, Probst tallies the results - off screen - and explains the challenge. Probst tells them the reward will be a helicopter ride to a popular snorkelling spot, turtle town, on the southern coast of Maui. The castaways, particularly Sarah and Carl, all appear highly excited by the reward and once Probst's asks them if it's worth playing for, and they respond yes, they get too it.

1st Question: Who could never survive on their own?

Everyone takes a second to think about their answers before writing them down and then, at Probst's command, revealing them. Most people say Cindy with the exception of Ali and Joe, who say Marcus.

Correct Answer: Marcus.

Shock is written on the faces of everyone but Joe and Ali, Marcus shakes his head, annoyed. Ali uses her chop on Marcus and Joe on Cindy.

2nd Question: Who mistakenly thinks they're running this game?

There are a few stifled laughs and everyone quickly writes their answers back. Once they reveal, everyone has written down Marcus except for Marcus who wrote Ali. Marcus frowns and rolls his eyes, angry at the rest of the castaways who are trying to hide their smiles.

Correct Answer: Marcus.

No one is surprised except for a disgruntled Marcus. Cindy chops Joe, Ali chops Cindy, Sarah chops Marcus, Carl chops Marcus and Joe chops Cindy. Marcus and then Cindy both watch as there rag dolls drop into the fire and burn to ashes. Most castaways laugh but Marcus just sulks as he makes his way over to the bench.

3rd Question: Who has the biggest sense of entitlement?

Ali comments that 'these questions are so mean' and a few castaways chuckle. Once they reveal, everyone shows one name - Marcus. From the bench, Marcus curses under his breath.

Correct Answer: Marcus.

Cindy tries to calm Marcus down from the bench as he fumes. Ali chops Sarah, Sarah chops Carl, Carl chops Sarah back and Joe chops Ali.

4th Question: Who would you most like to be stranded with?

The castaways take a few moments to consider how they want to answer the question before writing down their answers. Ali and Carl both answer each other, Joe answers Sarah and Sarah answers Joe.

Correct Answer: Joe.

Sarah grins, being the only one to have got it right and chops Carl's rope.

5th Question: Who does not deserve to still be here?

From the bench Marcus growls that 'it better not be f**king me again, I brought Sarah this far'. The other castaways don't hear him and write their answers down without a second thought. At reveal, everyone has written down Marcus.

Correct Answer: Marcus.

Marcus curses from the bench and everyone goes to take a chop with their machete's. No one says all that much, sensing the tension in the air. Ali chops Sarah once more, putting her out of the challenge. She laughs as her rag doll burns in the flames. Sarah still has a chop though and gives Joe a chop, as does Carl, putting Joe out of the challenge. For Joe's last chop he is faced with a choice between Carl and Ali. He chooses to chop Carl's rope.

Jeff Probst: Joe chops Carl's rope, Carl is out of the challenge, Ali wins reward!

Ali cheers and runs over to give Carl a big hug. Marcus rolls his eyes from the jury bench, just wanting to get the challenge over and done with. Soon Ali is standing next to Probst, facing the remaining castaways, sitting on the bench.

Jeff Probst: Alright, Ali, choose one person to join you on this reward.

Ali (without hesitation): Carl. Sorry guys.

No one is offended or annoyed as everyone expected her to pick Carl who runs up to her and gives her another hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Jeff Probst: Carl, joining Ali on reward. You guys will have a nice afternoon, plenty of food, beautiful, scenery... but first, pick one more person to come with ya.

Ali looks over at the group, much more thoughtful this time before making her mind up.

Ali (turning to Probst): Joe hasn't been on any rewards and didn't get anything at the auction so I'm gonna choose him.

Joe, not as keen as Carl gets up and walks over to embrace Ali thankfully.

Jeff Probst: Joe going on reward with Ali and Carl. Alright, Marcus, Cindy, Sarah, got nothin' for ya, grab your stuff head back to camp.

The three castaways not going on the reward solemnly stand, grab their bags and walk out of the challenge arena. Sarah and Cindy wave goodbye and encourage them to have fun but Marcus says nothing as he leaves.

Jeff Probst: Ali, Carl, Joe, grab your stuff, head out, have a good time.

Ali thanks Probst and the three head out to their reward, Ali and Carl, noticeably more excited then Joe. The camera cuts to the three of Cindy, Marcus, Sarah with the focus being mostly on an angry-looking Marcus.
