Previously On Survivor...
After running the show at Elgon, Nessa, Rachael, and Lynsie's plans were turned upside down as the tribe switch left Rachael in the outs on Luhya. Upon being kidnapped, Lynsie is convinced by Rachael to mutiny, leaving Nessa furious. Ending the short lived Girl Power alliance. Elgon won immunity, sending Luhya to tribal council. It was agreed that Lynsie would be the next to leave. However Corinne flipped the script, and used Rachael and Lynsie to eliminate Dana. Leaving Esther and Johnathan on the outs.

Challenges
Reward Challenge: Sacrificial Limb Two players are harnessed to a rope winding through several obstacles. The rest of their tribe helps them move along it – up and over an A-frame, under a thick log on the sand, around a long hitching post, and around a giant boxlike structure – to the end of the rope. Then, one player swims to a buoy and dives down to retrieve a decoder wheel before coming back, where the entire tribe uses it to work out a six-word phrase. Reward: Secret Note

Immunity Challenge: Challenge Title Challenge mechanics. Winner: Tribe/person/s who won the challenge

Night 12
The long walk back to camp was a quiet one. The tension was thick, although Corinne, Rachael, and Lynsie all individually were screaming and jumping up and down internally. The tribe settles into camp, and Esther is quick to disappear into the shelter for the night.

Everyone maintains their silence as they all sit in a circle around the fire. With Johnathan in their presence, the uncomfortable feeling still fills the air.

As the night continues, one by one everyone heads to bed. Johnathan's the last to be sitting by the fire, just contemplating his next move.

Luhya
The next day, everyone's still fairly quiet. Throughout the morning Esther decides to give everyone the silent treatment, but come lunch time she snaps out of it, knowing it's only hurting her more in the game.

In private, Corinne gives Stephen a huge hug, and thanks him for flipping.

Corinne continues to boast about how the move will help send them deep into the game together, and insists they have to have each others backs after this. Stephen agrees, but harbors his doubts.

After the stressful evening Rachael had just endured, she decided to take a break from the game. As an athlete, she tries her best to stay in shape, although the scorching temperatures in the Kenyan jungle makes it hard to work out. Therefore Rachael decides to swim laps in the lake. She goes from one side to the other three whole times. Even though it's not the widest lake imaginable, Lynsie's still impressed by the distance she managed to concur.

Lynsie has never had a swimming lesson in her entire life. She's a self taught swimmer, but that hadn't come with the ability to dive. Rachael decides to kill time by giving her a diving class. Off to the side of the trail, there are some jagged rocks along the shoreline, lining the forrest. These rocks eventually turn into a rock wall ledge. Rachael checks the depths below, and they are passable for jumping. The two girls spend the day jumping, and laughing. By the time dusk hits, Lynsie is almost successfully diving into the water.

Elgon
Nessa spends the afternoon by herself down by the lake doing yoga. She feels that she has a lot of negative energy in her system at the moment, and doesn't feel it's healthy.

Meanwhile, Brock, Shaun, and Dan all remain back at camp. Brocks suggests that they form an all boys alliance, as they'd have the numbers to get rid of Nessa.

Brock: Think about it, we're at 10. If we don't merge this round, it'll probably be the next round or the one after that! If we just ban together and say, y'know what, if we lose we'll just take out Nessa, it's almost a guarantee we'd all make merge!

Reward Challenge
Jeff calls the tribes in.

Elgon enters and takes their place on their red colored mat. Luhya follows in directly behind.

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

Jeff Probst: In todays challenge, two players will harnessed to a rope winding through several obstacles. The rest of their tribe helps them move along it – up and over an A-frame, under a thick log on the sand, around a long hitching post, and around a giant boxlike structure – to the end of the rope. Then, one player will swim to a buoy and dive down to retrieve a decoder wheel before coming back, where the entire tribe uses it to work out a six-word phrase. Be the first tribe to complete the phrase successfully, and you'll earn this..

Jeff holds up a rolled up piece of paper inside of a glass bottle.

Jeff Probst: A secret note. This note will contain information that will no doubt help your tribe in this game. Definitely worth playing for.

Jeff Probst: Elgon wins reward!

The tribes reassemble on their mats.

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

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

Luhya
The Luhya tribe returns from the reward challenge feeling dejected. The fear the tribe could be at the start of a losing streak weighs heavily on their shoulders.

Johnathan: Good attempt team!

Nobody can tell if Johnathan's words are sincere of sarcastic.

Esther pulls Corinne aside as she wishes to talk about what happened with the previous vote, so the two decide to fetch some water.

Esther: So I was just wondering what happened? I thought we had a tight group, and that it would've been all of us voting for Lynsie?

Corinne: Okay, can I tell you something? It was me who flipped..

Esther (in a sarcastic tone): Ha, yeah no kidding.

Corinne: Honest to god, I still want to work with you. There's the thing, you two were close, too close. We all saw it, and thought you needed to be broken up. On top of that, she was weakening our team! I swear I still want to continue with you.

Esther: So who all flipped?

Corinne (counting out the votes on her fingers): It was Myself, Stephen, Rachael, and Lynsie. You can trust me though, I have nothing with them.

Elgon
Lynsie, Dan, Nessa, Shaun, and Brock all return to the Elgon camp. The first thing on everybody's mind is the secret note they had won at the reward challenge.

Dan: Stay over there! ]

With a friendly smile, Dan extends his arm as if to say, "stop."

Lynsie: (Laughs) Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm staying.

Lynsie sits on the ground near the fire, as Nessa, Brock, Dan and Shaun huddle into the shelter. They decide the shelter doesn't provide enough privacy, and decide to open it in the forest. With a, "we'll be right back", the four leave. However, Lynsie takes off behind them, making sure she stays out of sight.

They find a glass rock that they're about to break the bottle over, and then...

(CRACK)

Lynsie steps on a stick, causing all four heads to shoot up.

Nessa: Lynsie!

Lynsie: Sorry! I was just collecting fire wood (laughs), I'll head on back!

They break the bottle open, and unroll the paper inside. Everyone reads with their eyes, to not risk the possibility of Lynsie over listening. The paper is some sort of clue, but nobody can decipher what it's talking about. It's a reminder that the next time they get to feast, that a full stomach may not be the only reward.

They all read it over a few times to memorize what it says. Upon returning to camp, Brock throws the piece of paper into the fire to ensure that Lynsie's eyes cannot read it.

As Shaun begins to prepare the meal, he makes sure to carefully go through everything they have. He even opens the bag of rice and swirls his hands around inside. Nothing. Paranoia is running high, everything happens for a reason in the game. That secret note plays some sort of purpose, however nobody can figure it out.

The sun goes down, and it's a beautiful night. The humidity remained high, while there's not a cloud in the sky. The moon appeared so big in the sky, it was almost as if it was so close a person could reach out and touch it. The whole forest was lit up because of it. Due to the gorgeous night, everyone decided to take a midnight swim. Nessa and Lynsie both stay behind the rest of the boys, and Nessa takes the opportunity to talk to Lynsie privately.

Nessa: You really hurt me you know.

Lynsie: I know, and you know that wasn't my intention.

Nessa: I know it wasn't. It just really felt like you picked her over me. I felt as though I was an outsider with my own friends.

Lynsie: I know, and you know that wasn't my intention.

With a smile, Nessa swallows her pride and asks..

Nessa: So would you ever think of mutinying back over here?

Lynsie: I can't.

Nessa: I'd have your back, and we'd have Shaun. You'd be one hundred percent safe.

Lynsie: But if I did, I'd look like the most distrustful person in the game.

Nessa: What would it take to get you to switch?

Lysnie stops in her tracks. Nessa quickly does too and looks back to her.

Lynsie: Lets make a deal. You tell me what the secret note said, and I'll mutiny.

Nessa: Lynsie...

Lynsie: Nessa, you do this and I promise I'll come back to your side.

Lynsie pinky swears to Nessa to keep her lips zipped, and then Nessa spills the secret. Nessa warns Lynsie not to screw her, and Lynsie reassure's her not to worry. The two run the rest of the way to the lake so that the boys don't get suspicious as to why they've fallen so far behind.
