Beginnings (Episodes 8-9)
In Blindside Time (Episode 8), the new Gota tribe took their stuff and boarded a boat to the new Bikal tribe's camp. The remaining twelve castaways ate the traditional merge feast and selected Enil Edam as the name for the tribe. The name is spelled backwards is Madeline, Malcolm's mother name. At the immunity challenge, the castaways had to eat various disgusting local delicacies, like beetle larvae and pig brains. Cochran was able to beat Malcolm in the final round. Back at camp deciding who should go, the eight remaining favorites initially targeted Sherri to go, since the Fans were outnumbered 8-4. However, Corinne decided to start up a counter-coalition to possibly take down Phillip in the next few tribal councils. Corinne told Dawn about this flipping plan and Dawn realized that she would be negatively hurt by this plan like she was with Cochran's game-changing flip in Survivor: South Pacific. Dawn told Andrea about Corinne's intentions and decided to get Sherri, Erik, and Brenda on board to negate Corinne's plan. At the tribal council, the fans were worried about being outnumbered 4 to 8. Corinne stated that there would be surprises in the next few tribal councils, and that there was an open door for the fans to work in her alliance. The majority alliance of the favorites voted off Corinne in a vote of 7-5, in which Malcolm, Corinne, Michael, Eddie, and Reynold voted for Sherri.

In Cut Off the Head of the Snake (Episode 9), the tribe returns from their first tribal council. Reynold and Eddie comment about how the women that associate with them get eliminated, so they joke that which one should they target. Malcolm mentions in a confessional that the majority alliance thought they eliminated the rebellious alliance's leader, but he notes that they missed. The reward was a trip to a waterfall and a lunch. The purple teams wins consisting of Reynold, Eddie, Erik, and Cochran shooting and Michael defending the net. The losing orange team consisted of Andrea, Dawn, Phillip, and Brenda shooting and Malcolm defending the net. Sherri wasn't picked and was sent back to the camp without any chance at the reward.

On the reward, the alpha-males specifically Eddie and Reynold tries to use the "keep the alpha-males and the testosterone" together in a locker room-like debate on Cochran. However, Cochran sees through this and just shakes his head. At camp, Malcolm tries to get more votes for the minority alliance with getting Andrea, Dawn, and Sherri to possibly flip on the majority alliance. Andrea and Eddie bond and Andrea tries to get information about the minority alliance and idols. At the immunity challenge, Phillip, Sherri, Erik, and Dawn are the first four to drop out. Malcolm and Michael drop out soon after. The last three men, Eddie, Cochran, Reynold, drop out quickly in succession. This leaves Andrea and Brenda to fight for the immunity. Andrea struggles and submerges herself couple times and re-emerges above the crate, but she isn't able to last and drops out. Brenda wins the immunity challenge. Back at camp, trying to get votes Malcolm tries to get Dawn on his side. Malcolm has Reynold show Dawn his idol. The majority alliance was secretly targeting Malcolm while stating that they might split the vote with Eddie and Reynold. With Andrea, not too confident in that Malcolm didn't have the idol after talking to a worried Eddie, Andrea decides to target Michael instead. Dawn was skeptical on the idea that they should switch from Malcolm to Michael because she wanted to get rid of the leader. The minority alliance agreed that Andrea should be on their chopping block due her strategic play and leading the alliance.

At tribal council, Phillip mentions several times about flushing the idol like his previous season's alliance did in Survivor: Redemption Island. After the casting of the votes, Reynold stood up and paused the proceedings when Jeff Probst asked if anyone had and wanted to play an idol. The statements from Phillip seemingly caused Malcolm to ask Reynold for his idol (though he has one of his own). Reynold decides to give his idol to Malcolm. The switching of the target payed off because Malcolm didn't receive any votes. Michael was voted off by a vote of 7-3-1 with Andrea and Reynold receiving the other votes respectively. The majority alliance banded together whereas Malcolm voted for Reynold stating in his voting confessional that it would be a "throw-away" vote and the other three voting for Andrea.

A Possible turning Point, Episode 10-11
In Zipping Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Episode 10), the tribe comes back from tribal and the majority alliance have a visible meeting with Malcolm, Reynold, and Eddie not involved. Later, Dawn is upset and screams for Brenda to come over. Dawn lost a couple teeth in the water and was devastated and stated that she wouldn't go to the next challenge if she didn't have them - thus pulling herself out. However, Brenda found them and retrieved them. At the reward challenge, the team (purple) of Erik, Reynold, Dawn, Cochran, and Phillip won the reward challenge because of Reynold, second to go, gathering all the bags for his team like Malcolm was doing for his team at the start of challenge and Sherri taking time on the balance beam. At the reward, Dawn is glad for the food and shower and Erik is annoyed by Phillip. Back at camp, Phillip and Andrea were concerned about Dawn. At the immunity challenge, Reynold and Andrea beat Dawn, Cochran, and Sherri in the first heat. In the second heat, Phillip decides to sit out while Malcolm and Brenda beat Eddie and Erik. Eddie could have advanced but missed the pole on his second run. In the finals, Reynold beats his alliance member Malcolm and rivals Andrea and Brenda. Andrea, Dawn, Eddie, and Malcolm go looking for a possible re-hidden idol. Malcolm finds the new idol in front of Andrea and Dawn. At the tribal council, Malcolm wears his new idol since it is no secret that he has it and that suggests that Eddie is vulnerable. Malcolm reveals his old idol and gives it to Eddie. The majority alliance of 7 was scrambling on whether they would go along with the minority alliance's stated target of Phillip, target alliance threat Andrea, or make Eddie & Malcolm actually play the idol and give them votes. At the vote, Phillip is voted off and becomes the second jury member by a vote of 4-0-0 (4-2 with Eddie and Malcolm receiving votes respectively and actually played their newly acquired idols).
