Night 3
The tribe comes back after voting Jimmy out. Carter says that Jimmy going will strengthen the tribes unity and challenge prowess.

"sento-ki"

- At Tribal Council, we can to a united decision to get rid of Jimmy. He was just an all around creep and homophobe so hopefully, this brings our tribe together.

As Carter, Danielle, Andrea and Nicki go to sleep; Chelsea, Kenneth, Gerard, Ben and Kim sit around the camp fire and share life stories with each other. Chelsea mentions that she was born into a rich family but left home to work hard and earn her own money instead of inheriting it.

"sento-ki"

- I’ve always believed you should work hard for the things you earned. I was born into an extremely rick family. Billionaires. Like they invested in stocks of some unknown company in the eighties and in, like a day, those stocks shot up into space and we became instant billionaires. I didn’t want to earn money that way so I left home and worked in all different places to get what I have today.

Kim suggests the five of them align with each other since they’re the strongest five. They all agree and shake hands.

"sento-ki"

- Things the past three days have worked out very well in my favor. Ben, Kenneth and I have a solid Final Three pact. Now, we have a majority alliance with Kim and Chelsea. Honestly, thing’s can’t get any worse for us because no matter what, we have majority.

However, in the shelter, Carter and Andrea fake being asleep and hear everything. The two agree to stick with each other throughout the game.

"sento-ki"

- So last night was interesting. Andrea and I were still awake in the shelter when Kim, Chelsea, Gerard, Ben, and Kenneth made an alliance. Mine and Andrea’s backs are up against a wall at this point and we need to do whatever it takes to stay alive.

Day 4
At Senshi, Rachel is the first to wake up. She slept in the middle of the shelter and crawls over people to get out, annoying J.T.

"senshi"

- On Survivor, it’s incredibly hard to get an hour of sleep so when you get about seven hours, it’s a blessing. Rachel decides to crawl over me to get out, when she can easily slide out. It’s frustrating.

Rachel then begins to cook rice for the tribe and the smell wakes up the rest of the tribe. Walker and Luke thank Rachel for getting the rice ready. The two then go for a walk to the well and discuss J.T. Luke asks if Walker would vote J.T. at the first Tribal Council they go to but Walker denies him, saying he needs J.T. to get farther. While Luke is furious, he keeps his emotions in check and simply walks away.

"senshi"

- I’m a hothead in my normal life. (Laughs) I really am. But out here, I need to keep my emotions in check because one little outburst and it’s gonna be my torch getting snuffed.

"senshi"

- Luke asked if I would flip to his side, which is basically everyone not in J.T.’s alliance. I said no because I don’t want to risk rocks. However, Luke is one of our strongest tribe members and if J.T. knows Luke wants him out, he’ll be the first to go. Right now, Rachel is an obvious target due to her weaknesses so she needs to go first.

Walker approaches J.T. and they talk about the first vote. J.T. thinks that Rachel or Drew are the obvious targets due to their weaknesses. Walker lets it slip that Luke is targeting him, worrying J.T. When asked to repeat what he said, Walker backtracks saying that it was Rachel who was targeting him. Although he knows Walker is lying, J.T. merely says ‘O.K.’ to not make Walker paranoid. Luke then brings back some fruit for the tribe with J.T. giving him a stare.

"senshi"

- I came back from getting fruit for the tribe and J.T. gave me this stare. He knows I’m after him. It’s fine, I wanted him to know.

"senshi"

- Luke just put a huge ass target on his back for targeting me. Walker also has me worried. He basically let it slip that Luke is after me and then lied and said it was really Rachel. It’s odd, it really is.

J.T. meets up with Ally, who has become is closest ally. J.T. tells her everything that happened with Walker, including the lie. Ally says that he should be voted off once they have secure numbers because he’s showing disloyalty to the alliance. J.T. agrees and they hug it out. Heather watches from the distance. She relays the information about J.T. to Luke. Luke laughs at J.T. having his finals plan already planned out.

"senshi"

- J.T. and Ally are the tightest alliance on our tribe besides Luke and I. That’s why they need to go.

On Sento-Ki, Carter and Andrea round up the other outsiders, Danielle and Nicki, to tell them about the alliance of Gerard, Kim, Chelsea, Kenneth and Ben. Danielle states that they should target Kim first since she seems to be the head of the alliance to which Andrea happily agrees.

"sento-ki"

- I want Kim gone because she’s nothing but a pain in the neck and I just don’t like her.

When Nicki asks who they can try and get to flip, Carter suggests Chelsea because the other four seem like they’re more of a tighter group. When Chelsea goes to the beach, Carter follows with the sole intent of getting her to flip. Carter asks if she feels safe within her alliance, to which Chelsea says she is. Carter brings up that Kim, Ben, Gerard and Kenneth all strategize with each other more than they do with her, saying she is at the bottom. Carter also promises a Final Three deal with them and Andrea, saying they are the biggest underdogs so far. Chelsea, now reconsidering other options, tells Carter she needs to do some serious thinking because she doesn’t know what she wants to do. Carter tells her he will give her room and allow her to think.

"sento-ki"

- I had a talk with Chelsea and I think I really got to her. Hopefully she comes with us to get rid of Kim.

"sento-ki"

- Carter brought up some good points about my ‘alliance’. They do strategize without me a lot so it makes me worry. I need to consider other options.

From a distance, Kim watches Carter and Chelsea talk. She tells Ben it worries her that Chelsea might flip to Carter. Ben suggests the two talk to her once Carter leaves her. Once Carter walks away, Ben and Kim approach Chelsea. Ben asks what Carter said, while Chelsea replies that they were just talking about family. Kim says ‘O.k.’ but doesn’t believe her.

"sento-ki"

- Man, I really wish idols were in play this season. That way, I would be safe no matter what. This season is really about your ability to keep yourself safe without a backup plan, so I hope Chelsea stays loyal.

"sento-ki"

- The next vote will be detrimental to which side that will be running the show. For us to have control, we need to include Chelsea in more of our strategy talks.
