Voting Confessionals
"dangrayne"

- I've never liked you.

Final Words
"dangrayne"

- That's the name of the game, and the name of the game is blindside. It was such an amazing, wonderful experience. I can't believe I actually got to do this. I lasted rain and no food, and all these things. It was difficult, but I got to play Survivor. How many people actually get to do this? I made it pretty far so I am actually proud of myself.

Behind The Scenes

 * As a play on how the castaways got battered by two weeks of rain, the new tribe calls themselves "Dangrayne" ("Dang, rain"). Before coming up with the tribe name, the castaways coin several name ideas. While R.C. leads the charge in painting the flag, their new tribe name does not sit well with her. While the castaways are given paints that resemble the colors of the three original tribes, the Dangrayne tribe mixes up the colors.

Life at Ponderosa

 * R.C. makes her way to her post-game medical check-up, and reveals she added 10 lbs. before heading for the Philippines. She finds out that she lost 5 lbs. in the 19 days she lasted. While binging on junk food and Filipino sweets, she is being debriefed by Dr. Tara, the resident psychologist. R.C. tells her how dysfunctional Tandang was, despite their impressive winning streak. The next day, R.C. visits a town in Caramoan.

Episode Title

 * The episode title comes from a line spoken by Lisa Whelchel in one of her confessionals, about Malcolm Freberg offering her an alliance after she found his Hidden Immunity Idol in his bag, that he was doing it just to keep the idol a secret.
