Night 11
The Sento-Ki tribe returns from Tribal Council after blindsiding Danielle. Nicki, who was the only other person to vote with Danielle, asks what happened and why the plan changed. Ben explains that the tribe felt more threatened by Danielle than they did by Carter and Andrea and that they didn’t tell her because they didn’t want any scrambling before Tribal.

"sento-ki"

- We got rid of Danielle tonight and I really don’t have any regrets. She was a threat to my personal game.

"sento-ki"

- Tonight did not go as I thought it was gonna go. Danielle was voted off and I’m in shock. I don’t know what my future is in this game.

Kim and Chelsea sit by the fire and talk about Ben. Chelsea believes Ben would be the wildcard within their alliance and can’t be trusted to go with them at the merge and says that he should go right before the merge. Kim agrees saying Ben is too dangerous.

"sento-ki"

- Ben…I love the guy but he was extremely forceful when it came to the vote. He wouldn’t take no for an answer so that does worry me that once I no longer fit his agenda, I’ll end up getting blindsided.

Ben then approaches the two girls and apologizes for being incredibly adamant about voting Danielle off. He says that Danielle was untrustworthy and did it for the betterment of the alliance. Kim and Chelsea tell him it’s ok but both don’t trust him as much as they did before.

"sento-ki"

- The one downside of the Danielle vote was that I could have possibly lost the trust of my allies so I need them to think I did it for them. Will they believe it? I don’t know, these people aren’t stupid.

Day 12
At Senshi, Luke begins to have a talk with Winslow. The chat goes from strategic discussions to about their personal lives. Winslow tells him that he is a survivor of prostate cancer and that he did ‘Survivor’ to bring the spark back into his life. Luke tells Winslow that he looks up to him.

"snehsi"

- Winslow is someone I admire. The dude beat cancer and came on Survivor. I really hope I go far with him.

"senshi"

- I will never use my past as a cancer patient as a way to get jury votes. I want to get jury votes for the way I played the game.

The two tribes then converge for their next challenge. They then see sixteen disks on the ground. Jeff instructs everyone to step on a random disk. Winslow states this is the same way they had the tribe swap in Marquesas. Jeff tells Winslow to pick up his disk. He does and reveals a Senshi buff. Jeff states that Winslow was correct and that a tribe swap was occurring and that Winslow would remain on Senshi.

After the tribes switched, Jeff gives them the challenge instructions. Ben and Kenneth go at it in the first round. Ben comes up with a strategy to beat Kenneth by studying the first object before pulling the lever. He does this for the corresponding items before getting to the last one. Ben’s plan causing Kenneth to yell at his former tribemate in anger but it only makes Ben chuckle. Ben gets all the items correct and wins the first point. Ben goes over to Kenneth and they hug it out.

"senshi"

- Kenneth is easily annoyed so I thought I would have fun with him during the challenge.

Gerard and Luke are the next to go. As the two study the objects, Gerard slowly backs up in order to get ahead of Luke. Luke catches him and pulls the lever. Despite his head start, Luke is the first to finish and gets it correct. Gerard storms back to his tribe in anger.

The next pair is Andrea and Kim. Carter comments how ironic the pairing was due to their rivalry. Kim and Andrea get the order of the objects incorrect several times to the point that Jeff sits on the ground. After the eleventh time, Kim finally gets the order correct and gets a point for Sento-Ki.

Next up is J.T. and Walker. After studying the objects for a few seconds, Walker races back and begins placing objects before J.T. can. However, both men are wrong and have to start over. This time, Walker studies the objects more carefully before J.T. pulls the lever. Despite J.T.’s efforts, Walker scores the third point for Sento-Ki.

Carly and Heather go up first. Carly jokingly says it will be easy to win because Heather is much older than her, to which Heather chuckles. Heather proves Carly wrong by getting to her station faster. Heather manages to finish placing her objects before Carly starts placing her objects. Heather than scores another point for Sento-Ki.

In the sixth round, Chelsea and Julie are competing. Like Kim and Andrea’s round, the two take forever to get the objects in the correct order. Chelsea begins to slow down as Julie continues running between stations. Julie finally gets the order correct, winning Sento-Ki reward.

Sento-Ki returns to camp with their reward as everyone introduces themselves. Luke asks what her rivalry with Andrea was about, she brushes it off as ‘them butting heads a little bit.’ Luke doesn’t believe her.

"sento-ki"

- The swap threw my plans into a loop. I’m glad to be with Heather since she is my closest ally but we also have Walker, who can flip on a dime. Anyway, Kenneth mentioned Kim and Andrea having a rivalry and in a merge situation, I could use that as an advantage.

Kim gathers Nicki, Kenneth and Carter and says they need to stick together because the old Senshi people will try and get one of them to flip. Nicki and Kenneth agree with Kim and while he says he agrees, Carter has second thoughts.

"sento-ki"

- Kim is the one who put my neck on the line in the first place. How am I suppose to trust her? I don’t know, maybe my best play is to flip to Senshi and take Kim out.

Meanwhile, Luke talks to Walker and says that, despite what happened at Senshi, they need to stick together if they want any chance to stay in the game. Walker agrees and says that it would be better for his game if he stayed loyal to his original tribe.

"sento-ki"

- Even though Walker is incredibly naïve, he does have a good heart. I just hope he’s telling the truth about sticking with us.

At Senshi, J.T. welcomes the former Sento-Ki members to their camp. J.T. and Ally then pull Andrea to the beach, remembering the mention of a rivalry.

"senshi"

- So Kenneth, being the GENIUS he is, lets it slip that Kim and Andrea have a feud going on. If this screws my game up, I will kill him.

Just like Gerard predicted, J.T. and Ally ask Andrea about Kim. Andrea tells them everything and says she is glad that she is away from her. Ally then offers a Final Three pact between them, telling Andrea that they were put on the outs by Luke and Heather and that they want to work with her. Andrea agrees.

"senshi"

- I love Andrea. Girl’s feisty but that also makes her easier to beat at the end. J.T. and I aren’t the most popular people on the Kamome Islands so this could help us.

"senshi"

- Hopefully this Final Three deal I have with J.T. and Ally pulls through. I need two people as unpopular as me to win.
