With 7 people left in Mazaki, Michelle and Patrick formed an alliance, both pairs of Michelle, Patrick and Jane, Sally all scramble to get Danielle, Zack and James to side with them, still not knowing that they are in an alliance. And in Gomane tribe, realizing he is vulnerable, Bosco found the hidden immunity idol on their tribe. At the reward challenge, Mazaki inched for the win, tension between Thomas and Bosco continues to intensify in Gomane, and alliances are continued to making as the alliance of Jordan, Tanya and Greg added Emma and Thomas while Bosco and Andrea also reached out for Emma.

Back in Gomane tribe, due to being close with Bosco, Andrea broke down with Thomas, in Mazaki tribe, Jane and Sally set their target straight on Patrick while Patrick targeted Jane.

Night 6
The camera show Mazaki returned from Tribal Council, which mainly focuses on Patrick.

"mazaki"

- So glad I am still here, well right now, I need to start thinking about the future, since after we take Sally out, then we will split in ourselves and we have to be careful.

And Danielle rushes over to Sally.

Danielle: Sally, so sorry about the vote, I hope you are not...

Sally: Hell yeah I am mad! I understand why did you vote Jane off, but I am still mad.

Danielle: Sorry, we just can't risk to lose any more, and I am still with you.

Sally: (nods) Ok.

"mazaki"

- I am afraid Sally will realize something fishy is going on, so I have to explain to her, if she discovers our alliance, who knows what will happen?

"mazaki"

- Something is fishy going on between there, the vote last night, everyone voted Jane and then Danielle ran to apologize. Well, it seems like all three sided with them, are they together or what? need to be careful.

After showing the Mazaki tribe a bit more, the camera shut down.

Day 7
The camera focuses on Gomane tribe, where Andrea and Michelle are sitting together.

Michelle: You OK there? You came back late last night and it seemed like you cried.

Andrea: Yes, I am... Just had an argument with Thomas ...... (Covers her mouth)

Michelle: Don't worry, I won't tell my tribemates about that, so what happened?

Andrea: Well, that is a long story...

After saying that, Andrea no longer talks.

"gomane"

- I can't believe, I told Michelle about the argument, this is the most idiotic thing I have done, crap...

"mazaki"

- (Smiles) I got information about their tribe, can't that be any better? Now let's see who will vote me off when we return?

Michelle: Fine, then want to have more chat of our lives outside the game?

Andrea: Sure.

After having a brief chat, they both return to base camp.

"gomane"

- Having a chat with her is good, it made me learn some life issues, since she is a teacher, we can learn a lot.

They sit back to camp where Bosco, Tanya and Greg are back at camp. Then Thomas returns by paddling onshore.

Bosco: Where the have you been? I have been looking for you all day long!

Thomas: Fishing, why so?

Bosco:(shouting) We ran out of firewood and you know the best about looking these things and you aren't here so we haven't been drinking all day!

Thomas:(talking loudly) I can restart the fire in few minutes, and you don't expect me to be at camp every second don't you?

Bosco:(screaming) No! But next time at least look for us more firewood before go fishing! You didn't even catch anything! I have enough of all this!

Thomas: Fine! But you stop taking like that!

Thomas relighted the fire in a few minutes and leave the basecamp.

Tanya:(whispering to Bosco) Be nice to him, you just argued in front of Michelle!

"gomane"

- Oh god, I heard that Bosco held a meeting of be careful in front of Michelle so she won't know alliances but he exploded in front of her! That can't be good. Just what the heck are you doing?

The camera showed Andrea's worried face and Michelle smiling.

"mazaki"

- Ha, can't believe me being kidnapped actually benefits us since by that I learnt a lot from their tribe, this is so good. (smiles)

The camera moves over to further in the forest, Emma, Greg and Jordan together.

Greg: Did you heard what happened in base camp just now?

Emma: No, what happened?

Greg: Bosco exploded to Thomas in front of Michelle.

Jordan:(shocked) What?

Emma: But then, now she learnt everything about our tribe! This is so insane!

Greg: I know, he should be voted off next.

Jordan: Yes we do!

"gomane"

- I can't believe Bosco blew up with his personal problems with Thomas, in front of someone from the opposite tribe, he just doesn't think for the team, if he is that selfish, he is going next.

"gomane"

- Hearing that they are targeting Bosco, I was like 'Uh oh', since actually I think Bosco is nicer than Thomas and maybe Thomas did something wrong first, now I am on double sides, I think my heart wants to side with Bosco, but Thomas's side has the majority, so I have to make a decision.

The camera moves over to Andrea and Rachel together.

Andrea: Well, can't believe Bosco did that.

Rachel: Yeah, I know.

Andrea: Do you want to join us?

Rachel: Er..., I need to think

"gomane"

- I left Thomas yesterdeay when he broke out with Andrea so I am not sure if it is the best idea to rejoin it, but I don't know if siding with Bosco is good either...

After, Bosco also came over and joined the meeting.

Bosco: So, Rachel, you siding with us?

Rachel: Yes, I think.

Bosco: Now, our next target will be Thomas since he is bugging me hard and then Emma.

Andrea: Wait, isn't Emma with us?

Bosco: Well, yes, but she is a weak link, I think all of you saw her physical strength.

Rachel: Ok, I am in.

"gomane"

- Bosco is right about Emma, everyone knows that she is weak but I am not sure if getting Thomas is good, does those two want each other out?

The camera continues to focus on the meeting, and moves over to Mazaki. It is seen that Patrick and James went to fish again.

Patrick: Thanks so much for the vote, I was so afraid that I will be voted off.

James: No problem, you are way stronger than her!

Patrick: Well, will you side with us in the future?

James: Yes i will!

They fist bump, and focuses on catching fish. Back in camp, Sally is working on the rice again.

"mazaki"

- It sucks having your best friend gone, it really does. I hope they will side with me later, and the fact that all 3 voted together makes me concern they grouped together, I need to talk to Patrick soon.

In the woods, Danielle ad Zack are collecting firewood.

Danielle: So, do you think Sally discovered us?

Zack:(shrugs shoulders) I don't know, why?

Danielle: Her tone is a bit weird when we spoke to her yesterday.

Zack: I don't know, what will happen next if we go to Tribal Council again?

Danielle: Michelle, definitely.

Zack: Ok, lets play this!

"mazaki"

- The least people left, the harder our alliance will be defeated, currently we have 3 of us and 3 outsiders, we will just jump on one side's ship and ride through, but we also need to focus on winning challenges though.

They both fist bump and the camera fast forwards the time until it is dawn time and everyone in Mazaki returned to base camp.

Patrick: Well, tomorrow Michelle is back!

Danielle: Yeah, so glad about it, more people makes the place better.

James: Yes it will! Lets sing around the campfire.

The camera shows them singing around.

"mazaki"

- It feels so good, so wild when we were sing'in around the campfire, that moment, I forgot about all the strategy, just really enjoy yourself in the wild.

As the night comes more, Danielle, Zack and James went to sleep, Sally stopped Patrick when he wants to go to sleep too.

Sally: Two words please.

Patrick: Ok, fine, what do you want?

Sally:(Whispering) I think those three are in an alliance.

Patrick:(Shocked) Really? Why?

Sally: Just, it will be weird that they never thought of strategy in the beginning of the game is already weird, thus all three sided with you which also makes it weird. And remember yesterday?

Patrick: Yes, why?

Sally: I think you noticed too, they went missing for a while, I believe they are strategizing.

Patrick: Ok, I will look-out.

"mazaki"

- What Sally told me was news to me, therer are two possibilities. (Raises two fingers) One, she got desperate. Two, she is telling the truth. I need to consider that, and I might backstab them.

As the moon gets higher, the camera switches off.

Day 8
The camera moves over to Gomane and Michelle, they are walking to the challenge arena at that time, Andrea and Michelle are walking far behind.

Andrea: Ready to see who will be voted off?

Michelle:(Worrily) Yes, hopefully it won't be my ally.

"mazaki"

- I really hope Patrick is still here, hopefully there really isn't a 5-people alliance.

Andrea:(Laughs) That person will be fine!

Michelle: Yeah, after merge, if we are still here, I might side with you, you gave me a great time!

Andrea:(smiles) Why, thank you.

"gomane"

- I feel so good right now, Michelle said she might flip at merge, if she is, that is one good thing I have done.

The camera focuses on the arena and both tribes walk in. Michelle smiles when seeing Patrick.

Jeff Probst: Welcome. Gomane, have a look at the new Mazaki, Jane voted off at last Tribal Council.

Michelle nods while Gomane member doesn't have a lot of reaction.

Jeff Probst: Michelle, you may join Mazaki again.

Michelle takes off her orange buff and wears her blue buff and goes back to Mazaki.

Jeff Probst: Michelle, how does your two day life in Gomane feel?

Michelle: It feels awesome! It really does! And their camp is larger, just feels good.

Jeff Probst: Now, lets move on to the challenge, want to know what you are playing for?

Castaways: Yes!

Jeff Probst: We have blanket, pillows and mattress, worth playing for?

Castaways: Yes!

Jeff Probst: This is how the challenge will work.

Jeff Probst goes on and explain the challenge to them.

Jeff probst: Gomane, you are two members up, sit two people out, you.can't sit the same people out in back-to-back challenges.

Andrea and Greg raises their hand up.

Jeff Probst: Greg, Andrea, take a seat on the bench. The rest of you, wait for my signal.

Jeff Probst: Survivors ready? Go!

As soon as Jeff Probst yelled Emma and Zack started firing. Emma's shot goes far off, no where near, while Zack's one also went too far. For the second round, Bosco fired and the ball goes near the beam, they all leapt to catch, with Jordan close to catching but failed by a few centimeters. For the first few shots, both tribes failed. Then Emma made a shot that is close to the balance beam, everyone jumped, with Rachel successfully catching the ball, bringing their tribe in the lead. Patrick took another shot which was too short, then Michelle took a shot and James successfully catch it, while at the same time Jordan catched the ball that Bosco fired, making it 2-1. Thomas made an attempt to shot but it goes too far. Patrick made another shot but once again it is a few meters shot. Thomas made a shot which went to the right direction, everyone jumped up to catch, but the power is too strong, it hit Rachel's face hard, resulting in Bosco yelling him for being an idiot. While Gomane are arguing, Patrick finally succeed to launch a ball near the balancing beam, Sally caught it just before it fell in the water, making it 2-2. Bosco fires another ball which is too high, but Jordan also jumped very high and caught it, making it 3-2. Zack and Thomas both fired a ball almost at the same time, Thomas's ball was a few meters to far, and Zack's ball went at the right spot, with Danielle catching it, the score tied to 3-3. And Bosco yelled at Thomas to do better since he is the only person who failed to make a successful shot. While they are arguing, Patrick attempt a shot but since he is too impatient, the ball goes far off. Michelle took a shot which also went to high, James jumped up high but the ball just bounced off his hand. Thomas then took this chance to make a fire which was a bit took close, but those on the balancing bean jumped out to catch it, with Tanya catching the ball by jumping far and landing hard in water, which making it 4-3. Andrea and Greg cheers. Zack took a shot but however the ball went too far, Emma shot the ball, Jordan jumped up and caught it firmly with one hand, everyone cheers.

Jeff Probst: Gomane wins reward! Take your stuff.

Gomane member cheers.

Jeff Probst: Mazaki, got nothing for you, now you can head back to camp.

The camera shows Mazaki goes back to camp.

"mazaki"

- We lost three out of four challenges, that is never a good thing., never ever, we are already two members down, we can't afford losing anymore...

Sally: God damn it, we lost, again.

Michelle: Yeah, we up.

Danielle: Did you learn anything from the opposite tribe?

Michelle: Yeah, they have problems with each other.

Danielle: Who?

Michelle: Well, I am not gonna reveal that until merge, so you either keep me there or receive nothing.

Zack: Don't play this game, let us know.

Michelle: I said it, either keep me till merge and I will tell you, or know nothing.

"mazaki"

- I am valuable right now, I am the only person in the whole tribe that has information about the other tribe, so if you dare to vote me off before merge, I will take the information with me. (smiles evil)

"mazaki"

- What is Michelle doing? She is now playing dirty, not against the rules, but no one will like her if she does it this way. She is setting a bad role model to her students.

Michelle leaves the area.

Zack: She needs to go. She is just bluffing.

Danielle: So Michelle next time?

Sally: Yeah, like she isn't even strong.

"mazaki"

- Hearing that she is target, it doesn't surprise me but still worry me, well, she was my friend in the tribe, and it is never good hearing it.

After the tribe split apart, Patrick ran over to Michelle.

Patrick: Dude, they are targeting you.

Michelle: Well, then they will lose the information about the other tribe. I trust you, here's the information. Andrea argued with Thomas, Bosco also have problems with Thomas. I trust you to secret it.

Michelle walks away, leaving Patrick.

"mazaki"

- I don't know what should I do, should I think for the tribe and tell them about it or think for myself and hide it...

Sally meets with James and Zack.

Sally: I want you to tell me the truth, are you currently allied with Danielle? Tell me the truth.

James: Well...

Zack: We are bud, way earlier then you asked us.

Sally: Why won't you tell me that?

Zack:(laughs) Then you will be gunning for us.

Sally: I knew it! We will see what happen next now since I am at dead bottom!

"mazaki"

- They finally admitted they allied, so which means, i either choose to go with Patrick and Michelle later or join them, big decision.

After a while, Sally left them.

James: Why did you tell them that the three of us are together?

Zack: It is better when we come clean, also, with Michelle acting like this, I doubt she will side with her.

James: Well, good point, she is not the Michelle we know. That is for sure, but if she is telling the truth, what is the information?

"mazaki"

- I exposed the alliance to her since there really wasn't a point lying when she asks you because she won't believe us anyway, and I am not worried of going at all, we got three out of six.

The camera shows James and Zack for a while, then it goes to a shut off, and it moves over to Gomane tribe.

Tanya: Yay, we have blankets! Who wants to take a nap now?

Thomas: Not me, I need to work before I get yelled by Bosco.

Bosco:(loudly) When the heck did I yell you?

Emma:(whispers to Jordan) Now...

Thomas: You did yell me, in front of Michelle!

Bosco: So what? They are two people down, we will be fine when we stick together after merge.

Rachel: Calm down! Yelling isn't going to solve anything. You two better settle your problems or watch us lose the next four challenges.

Bosco: Yeah, whatever, I am going to take some wood.

Bosco leaves.

"gomane"

- What the hell is Bosco thinking? He placed a large target on his back now, well not like he doesn't before.

"gomane"

- Who cares about I exploded? Our tribe is strong so far, and that is the one thing we have confidence in, and I am not afraid that we will be down in numbers in merge unless that frick head betrays us. And if we really lose, I have the idol with me, and he is going.

Andrea runs over to Bosco.

Andrea: What was that all about? Just because you have the idol doesn't mean you can be that jerky.

Bosco: There is just something about that kid I don't like, but what has passed passed, so even what I do now, Michelle already saw it.

Andrea: Then answer this, why did you blew up at the first place?

Bosco: You heard it, because he didn't look for more...

Andrea:(calmly) No, that is just an excuse. I want a real reason.

Bosco: ER...

"I am stunned when she asked me that, the real reason was because he is Thomas. Like if it is another guy I won't blow up, I blew up just because he is Thomas. One word, personal hate."

- Bosco

Andrea: You blew at him because of personal reasons, not because he messed the tribe. You have two choices so you can continue your personal disliking of him and get voted off or work as a tribe to last longer. What has pasted can't be changed but you can change the future.

Andrea pats him and leaves him.

"gomane"

- Wow, those words goes right beyond her years, she does have a point, I will change, but nothing major, I still hate him.

"gomane"

- Bosco just blew us with his personal hate, I used a speech I have seen in a book, hopefully it smacks it back to him. We can't afford him messing around.

Back at Gomane camp, Emma was seen filling the water canteen and pouring water to the pot to boil it, but it spilt and went on the fire.

Greg:(Stopping her) What are you doing? You are going to snuggle our fire!

Emma:(In a sleepy voice) What?

Jordan: You just poured water on fire, why would you do that?

Emma: Did I? Sorry, not feeling well.

"gomane"

- After the challenge and I went back, something is definetly wrong with me. I start to feel dizzy and I want to vomit. This really is too much for my old bones.

Tanya: (Worrily) Are you fine?

Emma: I think so, I just need to lay down and sleep for a while.

Emma goes and slept with a pillow and blanket.

"gomane"

- This can't be good, something is wrong with Emma, and I am afraid that if she continues like this, her body will be really down.

"gomane"

- Emma said she is dizzy and at that moment, I feel sorry for her, I am also old in age, I am 60 and there isn't a lot you can do in this age and you are expecting these kind of things. A lot of past players got screwed because of there age too.

Later, Thomas's alliance, except for Emma met in the forest.

Jordan: Well, what do you guys think about Emma's issue?

Thomas: It looks like she hasn't be eating too much and obviously her body isn't built for this.

Greg:(nods) It is like Day 8 and she already broke down like this, we need to consider that next time.

Tanya: I really prefer Bosco, team communication is more important.

Greg: Yeah, its not fair to her though, she is like 60 above.

Thomas: You are 60 and you look fit.

Greg:(Smiles) Yeah, thanks for excercsing.

Tanya: Back to the subject, who will it be next time?

Greg: We will just stand back and wait?

Jordan: (nods) Stand back and wait.

"gomane"

- I never ever feel good when considering blindsiding someone, and here we are discussing about it, so basically no one gets in control, the game controls you and I am controlled to get Emma. Gosh, I thought I could control everyone before I came but I can't, no one controls anyone.

"gomane"

- This conversation is the key of what happens in the next Tribal, I doubt that no one will tell Emma about all this, then Emma will side with Bosco to get me out, I figured that I really should get Rachel back or Andrea to side with me to keep the numbers in. But based on what happened a few nights back? Not a chance.

After showing the arena for a while, the camera comes to a shut.

Day 9
The camera shows the challenge arena and Jeff Probst standing in the middle.

Jeff Probst: You ready for this challenge?

Castaways: Yes!

Jeff Probst: First things first, I need to take back the immunity.

Rachel hands immunity to Jeff Probst.

Jeff Probst: Immunity is back up for grabs, now lets get tot he challenge.

Jeff Probst explains the challenge to them.

Jeff Probst: Gomane, you are two members up, sit two people out, you can't sit the same person out in back-to-back challenges.

Tanya and Emma raises their hands.

Jeff Probst: Tanya and Emma, take a spot on the bench, the rest of you wait for my signal.

Jeff Probst: Survivors ready? Go!

Michelle and Rachel jumped into the water and starts to swim. Rachel begin to hold a lead to Michelle, but Michelle wasn't far behind. Rachel untied the bottle and arrived the bridge and handed the bottle to Bosco. Bosco and Andrera start to run but Andrea tripped and fell, so Bosco helped her up. Meanwhile, Michelle also untied the bottle and handed the bottle to Zack. Bosco and Andrea are currently leading for Gomane and start paddling, with Zack and Sally chasing them shortly behind. Andrea and Bosco arrive onshore first and passed the bottle to Greg. Greg smashes the bottle by throwing it on a tree and grabbed the map and ran in the jungle. Around 10 seconds later, Patrick received the bottle from Zack, he smashed it and ran after Greg while Jordan and Thomas starts digging. Now it is a digging race between James and Patrick to Jordan and Thomas. We can see them shifting as many sand as they can, and James digging like a mole, shoving a lot of sand away at one time. Back in the woods, Greg went to the wrong direction and got lost while Patrick went to the right direction, he climbed the ladder and got the key first, Greg went back to the right direction and got the key seconds later, and Patrick brings the lead and rush out of the woods, back to the challenge arena, Greg behind. Back there, it is seen that thanks to James, Mazaki hole is deeper than Gomane. All a sudden, Danielle's finger touched something hard and revealed the chest. James uses his strength and dragged the chest out, James climbed up the hole on the same time Jordan and Thomas also found the chest, but James already placed the chest on their mat and unlocks it.

Jeff Probst: Mazaki wins immunity!

Mazaki cheers and makes a group hug while Gomane are disappointed.

Jeff Probst: Come and get it, Gomane, you are safe from tonight's vote.

James went and take the immunity idol.

Jeff Probst: Nicely, done, head back to camp. (Turns to Gomane) Gomane, I will see you at tonight's Tribal Council, where someone will be the third person voted off. You can head back to camp.

Both tribes head back to camp.
