Tulle Mountain
The remaining contestants were sitting at the camp eating breakfast; rice with berries. Trenton: Gonna be interesting to see what kind of challenge it'll be today. Lysander: I hope we can win coffee. Al: I'm not here to drink coffee. Lysander: So if you can win coffee you wouldn't compete? Al: Well, if I won it, I'd drink it. Nellie: Earl, are you okay? Earl: Yeah, yeah, just fine. "tulle"

- The fact that Gertha was voted out makes me... I don't know. Mad, I guess. I just want to yell at these people.

Challenge
As the tribe arrived, Jeff was waiting for them. Jeff: Welcome. This is the Survivor Auction. We have your weight from when you began and your weight from now. Write down on that board in front of you how much you think you've lost since you got here. The person who is closest gets 800 dollars, the next 700 and so on. Now, reveal. Jeff: Now that you have your money, those are the itmes you can bid for; coffee, tea, a pillow, beer, soda, burgers, french fries, two mysterious plates and immunity for the next council. Let's start with coffee. Lysander: I bid 50 dollars. Nellie: 100. Al: 150. Lysander: Oh, so you want coffee, huh? Well, I'm bidding 200. Jeff: 200? Sold to Lysander.

Tulle Mountain
The tribe returned and began to enjoy their prices. Trenton: Damnit, Earl, I wanted that beer so mad. Earl: Take a sip then. Trenton: Really? Earl: Sure, go ahead. "tulle"

- I was the only one who didn't get anything. Really, everyone got something, except me. It's just not fair. Some of the others allowed to taste some of their stuff, but still. It's irritating.

"tulle"

- I bought a mystery plate and got a rock. A simple rock. I did, however, also get immunity for the next council. I'm just hoping I can win the next immunity challenge too. Then I'll have all the power here.

Earl, Lysander, Nellie and Helle were sitting around the fire. Earl: Girls, I have to ask this: why did you vote off Gertha? Lysander: I'd like to know too. I thought we had a deal. Nellie: I couldn't vote for Marcus. Not after he invited me to that feast. Lysander: You don't see that's why he did it? Nellie: I know, I just... I don't know... Helle: I shouldn't have done it, I'm so sorry, Earl. Earl: It's fine. Just keep your deals from now on. Helle: Of course. What do we vote next council? Lysander: I was thinking Trenton or Marcus. Nellie: Marcus then. Earl: Isn't Trenton stronger than Marcus? Nellie: No, he isn't. Earl: Well.

Challenge
The tribes arrived to the challenge. Jeff was standing by a table. Jeff: Welcome. In this challenge, you will eat chilis. You can give up at any point in this challenge. You will at through gradually stronger chilis. If you haven't finished a chili within the 2 minute timeline, or if you give up, you are out. First person out will have a vote on him at the next council. Winner gets immunity. Does everyone understand? Everyone: Yes!

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

Tulle Mountain
As they got back, Trenton, Al, Marcus, Gene and Nellie went aside. Trenton: Gene, Nellie, you guys are still with us, right? Gene: Of course. Nellie: Yeah. Trenton: Good. We're gonna have to vote off Earl. Al: I agree. Earl is strongest. Gene: I'd hate to, but... okay. Trenton: Good.

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. Gene, does your mouth still burn? Gene: You have no idea. I've had trouble speaking the past two days. Jeff: Marcus, you couldn't even get through the second chili. What was the problem? Marcus: I just hate spicy food. I'm not good with that. Jeff: Nellie, do you know what is going on right now? Who is going home tonight? Nellie: You never know who is going home. For all I know, it could be me. But I think I know how everyone is set. Jeff: Earl, do you? Earl: Not at all. There is some people I trust, but can I trust them? Honestly, I have no idea. I hope I can. Jeff: A guess like that could cost you your time in this game. Earl: I'm crossing my fingers. 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 Al or Gene. In case of tie, it will be settled by duel. Al, 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 4 on Earl and 4 on Marcus. Jeff: That means there is one vote left. Now let's see... elleventh person votes out of Survivor: Nevada Mountains... Marcus. Marcus, get up here, get your torch.

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