Elgon
The sky is cloudy, causing the night to be darker than usual. Monkey's can be heard screaming in the distance, making the mood even more ominous. The Elgon tribe slowly shuffles back into camp, returning from tribal council. It's so dark that Lynsie manages to trip on a tree's root.

Before climbing into the shelter, Rachael finds Natally's water shoes on the ground.

Rachael: Wow, she really didn't expect it.

Shaun responds with a face emoting sympathy.

The four remaining members of Elgon huddle into their shelter, and attempt to get some shut eye. With three members less than what they opposing tribe Lubya has, they know they need to bring their A game tomorrow.

Elgon
The castaways have finally made it to the first double digit day. Lynsie is up early, and heads down to the lake to give herself a good scrub. Shaun's attending to the fire, while both Rachael and Nessa sit in the opening of the shelter whispering.

Nessa: I'd hate to say it Rach, but I'm beginning to question her.

Rachael: Lynsie? What, why?

Nessa: Just because (sighs), it's not that I think she'd turn on us. I just don't think she's ready for this game. She's a young girl, and she's struggling with it. I'm just worried when it comes to crunch time that she'll fall through.

Rachael: With the way things are going right now, we don't have any choice but to trust her.

Nessa: She's just so stressed about everything, all the time. She's always paranoid, and questions everything we say and do! It's only going to get harder when we merge, and I want someone with me I know I can rely on.

Rachael: I hear what you're saying, I do, I just don't think we're in a situation to be picky.

Shaun finishes stoking the fire, and walks over to the bag of beans which lays next to the shelter. He fills the pot, and heads back over to the flames to cook.

Rachael: Look, if you feel it's necessary we can talk about this again later. This just isn't a good time right now.

Luhya
It's a good morning for the Luhya tribe. Johnathan's cracking jokes, and everyone is laughing and enjoying themselves. Stephen suggests killing one of the three chickens, which everyone within the group supports. Everyone that is, except for Dana. Although she tries to be a team player and keeps her mouth shut.

Stephen pulls Edward out of the cage, and begins to prepare the meal. Dana wants to avoid the scene of seeing the chicken being harmed and cooked, so she strolls out of camp. To kill some time before she deems it safe to return, she makes Edward a cross out of some twigs and vines. The tribe finishes the delightful morning off with full stomachs, which is a first for them all in the 10 days they've been in the game.

Dana still remains oblivious to Corinne's growing frustration with her. Despite their alliance, Corinne entertains the idea more and more each day of voting her off.

Esther: Tree mail!

The group gathers around as Esther reads. It informs them that they'll need to select a tribe representative before heading into the reward challenge. Corinne quickly volunteers herself, to which everyone agrees.

Reward Challenge
Jeff calls the tribes in.

Luhya enters and takes their place on their orange colored mats. Elgon follows in directly behind.

Jeff Probst: Luhya getting your first look at the new Elgon tribe, Natally voted out at last nights tribal council.

Jeff Probst: Alright. Before we get to the challenge, both tribes were tasked with picking a representative. Could I have who each tribe picked each join me up here.

Corinne and Nessa step forward.

Jeff Probst: Corinne, Nessa, you both represent the Luhya and Elgon tribes respectively. However for everyone else, that cannot be necessarily said for the rest of you. Drop your buffs.

Everyone's face drops, and an, "oh my god", is mumbled under the breath of multiple individuals.

Jeff throws both women a bag of new tribal buffs.

Jeff Probst: Corinne you will remain a member of Luhya, Nessa you will remain a member of Elgon. In a school yard pick you will one by one choose a castaway who you'd like on your own tribe until each team consists of five people. Once we finish, we'll have an odd man out. Once selection has been completed, I'll explain where we'll go from there.

Corinne and Nessa play rock, paper, sissors, to determine who gets first pick. Corinne wins.

 Luhya Tribe:  Corinne, Rachael, Stephen, Esther, Dana

 Elgon Tribe:  Nessa, Dan, Lynsie, Shaun, Brock

Johnathan is left without a tribe.

The brand new tribes stand on their mats, while Jeff and Johnathan stand before them. Jeff places his hand on Johnathan's shoulder.

Jeff Probst: Johnathan, don't worry you're not out of this game. Whichever tribe wins reward, will be the tribe you will join and continue this game with. See this challenge is important as you're not just gaining a reward prize, but an extra number in a game that's all about numbers.

Jeff Probst: In this challenge one tribe member at a time uses an adjustable seesaw beneath a tower to catapult nine assorted items into a basket atop the tower. First tribe to land all nine items in their basket, wins. I suppose you're all curious as to what you're playing for?

The castaways shout, "yes!"

Jeff Probst: Well in addition to having Johnathan join your tribe, you'll win this..

Jeff pulls a blanket off of a basket, revealing that it's full of baked goods.

Jeff Probst: Muffins, cookies, pastries, and much, much more. Definitely worth playing for.

Jeff Probst: Luhya wins reward!

The tribes reassemble on their mats, and Johnathan takes his place on the new Luhya tribe.

Jeff Probst: Congratulations Luhya on your win. As always you'll be tasked with choosing one member from the Elgon tribe you'd like to kidnap. Who would that be?

The Luhya tribe form a huddle and discuss their decision. They decide to kidnap Lynsie.
