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. While Malcolm, who suggested the name, told his tribe-mates that it ment "New beginnings" he revealed later in a confessional that it was, in fact, not a foreign language but simply his mothers name, Madeline, backwards. At the immunity challenge, the castaways had to eat various 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).

In Come Over to the Dark Side (Episode 11), the castaways returned to camp and Brenda was emotional. At the Survivor Auction, Sherri and Dawn spent all of their money on food. Malcolm bought nuts with beer and information to a immunity idol. Reynold bought and stood with his first item (Jeff proposed either keep the first item or trade for one of two choices). Andrea gave up her food item for the tribe to get more beans and rice. Brenda won pig brains and Eddie won a big jar of peanut butter to be shared with the whole tribe. Cochran won the advantage which is a note to be read right before the immunity challenge. Sherri talks about possibly joining the rival alliance. Malcolm tries to find the re-hidden immunity idol but Andrea and Cochran soon crashes the party. At the immunity challenge, Brenda and Erik drops out with Sherri and Malcolm dropping out in the final round. Andrea, Dawn, and Reynold dropping out. It comes down to Eddie vs Cochran with Eddie dropping out. Cochran wins immunity challenge. Malcolm made it seem like he found an idol. At the vote, Reynold, Malcolm, Andrea receiving three votes each. At the re-vote, Malcolm becomes the third member of the jury in the re-vote of 6-0-0.

Unraveling of Stealth R US 2.0, Episode 12-13
In The Beginning of the End (Episode 12), the castaways competed in a combined reward/immunity challenge by standing on "doghouse" type block in the ocean. Jeff would tempt them with food and they could make deals as they pleased. Eddie, Erik, and Cochran drop out for food items while Dawn and Sherri can't hold on without any food reward. Reynold tries few attempts to stay on, but has to drop out. With no "Amigos" remaining, Brenda and Andrea could have made a simple deal. However, Brenda wants to be beaten by Andrea than give up to her. After few hours dueling, they come up with the idea to only balance with their right foot (Andrea says that this was to get Brenda out). Andrea is able to win the immunity challenge. For the reward, she gets information on where the newly hidden idol is placed. At camp, Andrea regretfully shows Brenda the clue (because it was part of the drop out) and then has to inform the alliance of six what the clue said. Erik finds the idol and immediately gives the idol to Andrea. Andrea talks to Cochran about possibly blindsiding Brenda or Dawn. This proves costly to Andrea because Cochran wants Dawn to stay. At the final 8 tribal council, Reynold is voted of 4-2-1-1 with Eddie and Sherri/Erik getting the other votes.

With only Eddie remaining in the cool kids alliance, the alliance of six continued debating on whether to blindside one of their own. Brenda is now determined to get rid of Andrea due to Andrea's desire to vote off Brenda and Cochran also hints at wanting to vote off Andrea (added bonus is because Cochran is supposedly not in Andrea's final three). At the immunity challenge, it comes down between Erik and Brenda. Erik wins immunity and the two sides of Anti-Andrea and Anti-Brenda decide that they need Erik's vote. The Anti-Andrea pact decide that they need to split the vote, so that way if Andrea plays her idol, then Eddie would be voted off. Andrea is blindsided 3-2-2 with her idol in her pocket.

In Don't Say Anything About My Mom (Episode 13), Eddie and Cochran talk about who would most likely the group would vote for if Eddie won immunity and Eddie says Cochran. Dawn thinks that she might be the lynchpin of the Eddie-immuned voting blocks. At the loved ones challenge, Brenda wins with her dad. Jeff says that Brenda can choose someone to come with the reward and she chooses Dawn. Then Jeff gives the phone to Brenda and she sees that her second love one and all other second loved ones. Jeff informs that either Brenda have her second loved one to join in the barbecue with Dawn and her 2 loved ones OR give the other four have reward with their two loved ones while she would say goodbye to her dad and Dawn wouldn't get the reward too. She chooses to allow the four others have reward and not have reward for herself or recent nominated Dawn. The four reward participants are happy with Brenda, but Cochran confesses that this might be a target on her. At the immunity challenge, Cochran drops out first. Eddie and Erik drop out next. Sherri drops out too. Dawn tries to strike up a deal with Brenda, but again she refuses. Brenda drops out and Dawn wins, though Brenda claims in a confessional that she let go for Dawn. Cochran and Dawn discuss the possibility of blindsiding Brenda. At the tribal council, they discuss the situation at the immunity challenge, the dilemma that Brenda faced at the reward challenge, and Eddie's belief that his One Amigo fuse might be out. Brenda is voted off 3-2-1 with Cochran, Dawn, and Sherri voting Brenda with Erik and Brenda voting Eddie & Eddie voting for Eric.

Finale, Episode 14
After the Final Six tribal council, the castaways were walking back to camp Erik says that he is dizzy. Jeff comes and Medical says that they were put in an intravenous into Erik. Eddie explains this to Erik and Medical decides to pull Erik out of the game. Jeff explains to the Final Four that they were not have any relief from the food shortage and the game pushes forward. Eddie explains that this evacuation opens the game up for him more. The next challenge turns out to be a reward challenge for an advantage at the final immunity challenge. After numerous failures for all castaways, Cochran wins the advantage. Sherri and Eddie say that they want Dawn out because Dawn is playing the sympathy card too much while Cochran wants either Dawn or Eddie to be voted off next. The castaways prepare for their final immunity challenge and head to the rites of passage. Cochran uses his advantage to be the first one to work on the puzzle, but he needed the added time to win the challenge. Cochran now has to outweigh his options between Dawn and Eddie. He is pretty locked at keeping Sherri. Eddie is voted off 3-1. At the final tribal council, Sherri was mostly avoided while Dawn and Cochran got the most fire. Dawn seemed like she had the most blood on her hands.

At the reunion show, Cochran wins 8-0-0 over Dawn and Sherri.
