Night 15
Narbaga returns from Tribal and the majority alliance from Taboga are happy to see their allies made it through Tribal and now have majority. Meanwhile, Tahan, Andrew, Angie, Vinny, and Tara sulk about their position.

Day 16
The next morning, the two tribes meet for their first reward challenge. Narbaga sits Angie out of the challenge, much to her annoyance. For the first round, Billy, Christine, Tahan, and Leroy are the guards for their net while Nicole, Cody, Selina, and Ryan are the runners. Cody snatches the ball away from Leroy and scores the first point for his tribe. Next, Nicole and Cody take over for Christine and Billy as they become the runners. Selina and Ryan also switch with Tahan and Leroy. Billy steamrolls through Tahan and Leroy and takes the ball. Ryan attempts to block him but Billy makes the second point for Taboga. Andrew and Tara take over as the guards while Nicole and Cody go back to run for the ball. Vinny and Davidson take over as guards as Tahan and Leroy stay as the runners. Davidson tackles Cody but Nicole snatches the ball and makes the third basket for Taboga, winning them reward.

Taboga arrives at the waterfall and cheer when they see the picnic. However, Billy is the one who gives out the food. He purposely gives Andrew and Tara less food than Christine, Nicole, and Cody. Andrew calls him out on this, but is ignored. Christine, not liking what Billy is doing, offers her food to Andrew and Tara. Billy glares at Christine but she ignores him.

"taboga"

- Billy is a grade-a ass. He treats Andrew and Tara as slave labor and not like actual people. It's disgusting.

"taboga"

- This game is ran on friendship but it is nice to see Christine actually treat us with respect.

At camp, Narbaga decide to just get the chores out of the way so they don't have to hear Billy complain. Everyone, except Vinny (who is just sleeping in the shelter), does the daily chores. Angie and Tahan talk about Vinny's laziness and agree they need to sacrifice him in order to get farther in the game.

Taboga comes back from reward and Billy pulls Davidson to the side. He tells him what he did at the reward and starts laughing. Davidson also laughs, but doesn't share Billy's sense of pride.

"taboga"

- Davidson is just like me. We both know we're in control of the game so we can do whatever we want.

Knowing that the Narbaga idol was rehidden, Selina and Ryan sneak off together to search for it. Ryan and Selina check near the well and search in a crooked tree. Ryan finds the idol in one of the tree holes and the two silently celebrate. Ryan stuffs the idol in his shoe and limps back to camp. He makes up a story that he has a small cramp and it would just need rest.

At night, Leroy and Nicole share life stories. Knowing Leroy may have a crush on her, Nicole begins to flirt with him. She lays her head on his lap while they talk. Cody watches and calls Nicole 'Parvati.'

"taboga"

- Watching Nicole flirt with Leroy is funny as all hell. He's right under her thumb and we can use that to our advantage later in the game.

"taboga"

- If flirting with Leroy gets me further in the game, than I'll flirt away!
