- Previously On... Survivor! Pichirilo was treated to an unexpected surprise when they found Estrella vomiting with Brisa knowing the underlying cause for her illness, 'I know that it was the water that made her sick, but I can’t rat my brother out... It’s a huge moral dilemma that could also be crucial to the game if everyone found out.' A while later, Simoneta planned to make a deal with Estrella, but it blew up in her face when Estrella did not have any intentions to work with her, 'You have to realize, when we get down to six, I’m going to have to vote for you.' At the reward challenge, Memo and Estrella manage to work together to each bring up their first victory, 'MEMO! ESTRELLA! Win reward!' At the reward, Memo spent his time trying to sell Estrella about a secret partnership, 'I couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity to get away from camp so that I can better my game... and go farther with each other than with our alliances.' Back at camp, Simoneta and Wendy found themselves in a position of power when they were approached by Damian and Memo with an offer with Simoneta taking an advantage of her position, 'As long as the two main alliances keep gunning for each other... we’ll be sitting pretty in the finals.' At the immunity challenge, while Diego struggled to be as fast as Memo and Yuyi, he beat the odds and won immunity for a second time, 'DIEGO! Wins immunity!' Back at camp, the decision fell on Simoneta and Wendy with Wendy unsure about the decision to vote with the Terrible Three, 'Right now... it comes down to trust, or three more days in the game.' At Tribal Council, the Journey alliance felt too comfortable with their position and Wendy and Simoneta ultimately jumped ship to help blindside Santiago, ‘Santiago, the tribe has spoken.’ Nine are left, who will be voted out tonight?
