Tulle Mountain
Gene had gotten nervous after Al's elimination, and was now talking to Earl and Lysander. Gene: Sorry, man. You know, it's just a game. Earl: I know, don't worry about it. Gene: Listen: Nellie is strong and so is Trenton. I'd love it if the three of us could vote out one of those two at the next council. Lysander: Alright. Let's take out Trenton first then. Gene: Sounds great. And, hey, I'm with you guys now, okay? Earl: Yeah, of course. "tulle"

- I'm panicking, really. They are gonna take out Trenton and me if I don't do anything. This way, I can save myself.

"tulle"

- Ask me if I believe Gene for one second. I do not.

"tulle"

- I'm not sure if I can trust Gene, but I don't see why I shouldn't.

Elsewhere, Helle, Nellie and Trenton were preparing breakfast. Trenton: I wonder what kind of challenge it'll be. Helle: Hopefully not another static challenge. Nellie: You should try yoga, Helle. That really helps on the static, and it's just nice in general. Trenton: Personally, I think yoga is overrated. Nellie: Really? Why's that? Trenton: This "energy", do you have any way of proving that it's there? No, you don't. It's placebo. Nellie: And you're saying what? Trenton: That it's a waste of time. Nellie: You know, Gloria had worked with yoga for sixteen years. I don't think she sees it as a waste of time. Trenton: Well, I do. "tulle"

- Trenton knows his days in this game are numbered. He's not even trying anymore.

Challenge
As the tribe arrived, Jeff was waiting for them by a lake in which a plank was located. Jeff: Welcome. In this challenge you will stand on that plank out there. The last person to stand there wins reward. Does everyone understand? Everyone: Yes! Jeff: Alright, here's what you're playing for: an execution. If you win, you get to eliminate another player. They all got up on the plank, and stood there for ten minutes before Helle fell down. After another six minutes, Lysander fell down as well. This left Nellie, Earl, Gene and Trenton. After twenty-six minutes on the plank, Nellie fell. One more minute and Trenton dropped. Gene: Please, Earl... Let me get this. Without replying, Earl kept standing. Eventually, after five more minutes, Gene fell down, giving Earl victory. Jeff: Congratulations, Earl. Now, who do you want to eliminate? Helle, Nellie, Lysander, Gene or Trenton? Earl: It's difficult... but I think I know who... Trenton. Jeff: Alright. Trenton, you are out of this game. Grab your things, a boat is waiting for you. For the rest of you, head back to the camp. I'll see you tomorrow.

Tulle Mountain
Gene was sitting by the fire by himself. Lysander joined him. Without replying, Earl kept standing. Eventually, after five more minutes, Gene fell down, giving Earl victory. Lysander: I'm with you. Gene: Excuse me? Lysander: I can't beat these guys in the end. I'm with you. Gene: Amazing... are we voting for whoever gets the extra vote? Lysander: That, or Earl if it's one of us. Gene: Alright, that's a deal. I appreciate that, man. "tulle"

- I will vote for Earl, but no way I am voting with Gene. This just proved that he can't be trusted.

Challenge
The tribe arrived to the challenge. Jeff: Welcome. In this challenge, you will complete five different puzzles, getting more and more difficult as you proceed. The first person to complete their fifth person wins immunity. Does everyone understand? Everyone: Yes!

Jeff: Congratulations, Lysander, come take the idol. Nellie, you will have one vote at you in the beginning of the council. I'll see you all tomorrow.

Tulle Mountain
Helle was pulled aside by Lysander. Lysander: Vote for Earl. He's a big threat, we have to do it now. Helle: What? You want me to backstab him? Lysander: Excactly. Helle: No, way. Forget it. Get someone else. Lysander: I don't have that many options, you see. Helle: Ask Nellie. I'm not doing it. "tulle"

- Earl is one of the reasons I've made it this far. I'm not gonna go behind his back now.

"tulle"

- I can't win this if Earl is with me in the finale. However, I can win against Helle and Nellie, if I'm lucky. Let's hope I am.

Council
At the council, the first thing they were told to do, was to light a torch and set it behind them. They did that, and then Jeff began talking. Jeff: Welcome to council. Earl, you won the reward. Why did you choose Trenton? Earl: It wasn't that difficult, actually. He's a big threat and he's been trying to get rid of me for a long time. Jeff: Gene, do you think that was smart done of Earl? Gene: Yeah. I probably would have done the same. Nellie: Right... Jeff: Nellie, how will you base your vote tonight? Nellie: I will vote for the person who's the biggest threat. Jeff: Lysander, do you think that could be you? Lysander: No, and for two reasons. I have immunity, and I'm not a big threat at all. Jeff: Helle, are you a threat? Helle: Considering that I've lost all those challenges, I wouldn't say, no. Jeff: Let that be the words. One by one, you go up and write the name on the person you want out of Survivor. You have to vote, you can't vote for yourself. You can't vote for Lysander. In case of tie, it will be settled by duel. Helle, you're up.

One by one, they all went up and wrote the names on the people they wanted out. After everyone had voted, Jeff got the urn and began revealing the notes. He kept turning the votes until there was 2 on Gene, 2 on Nellie and 1 on Earl. Jeff: That means there is one vote left. Thirteenth person votes out of Survivor: Nevada Mountains... Gene. Gene, get up here, get your torch.

Gene got his torch. Jeff put it out with the words 'the tribe has spoken'.
