Survivor
Alex Bell was placed on the all-male Tambaqui tribe. Like the other men, Alex believed that the men would easily dominate the Jaburu women. Alex noticed a box that said "do not open". The men quickly built shelter and made fire. At the first Immunity Challenge, the men had the lead. However, Ryan Aiken and Daniel Lue had trouble crossing the balance beam. This allowed the women to win immunity. Alex settled on voting out Ryan and he was voted 4-3-1. Jaburu also won the first reward in the form of fish bait, much to the men's frustration, though Tambaqui would bounce back and win the second Immunity Challenge. Jaburu won the next Reward Challenge, during which Alex talked to Jenna Morasca. He had an argument with Roger Sexton about being gay (despite both men being straight). Alex realized he was a swing vote between the alienated Daniel or the abrasive Roger. After Tambaqui lost the Immunity Challenge, Alex ultimately voted against Daniel, sending him home. Things turned better as Tambaqui won the next two challenges. They won a fully functional refrigerator with Coca-Cola drinks, immunity, and fish they caught at the Immunity Challenge.
The tribes were asked to send its youngest member to have a night of fun, which was Dave Johnson. When Dave returned, he announced that Alex, Rob Cesternino, and Matthew von Ertfelda would be switched to Jaburu. When they arrived, they made a big entrance. Alex bonded strong with Shawna Mitchell, who had a breakdown just a few days prior. This worried Deena Bennett, who feared Shawna would be more loyal to Alex than the Jaburu Alliance. Jaburu won the Immunity Challenge and Alex and Shawna continued to bond. At the Reward Challenge, Alex lost to Dave in his first match but won his second match against Roger. Tambaqui won the challenge and also later won immunity. Alex and Shawna settled on targeting Matthew for being the biggest challenge threat.

Alex missed Shawna, but Rob felt it was good so Alex that could focus on the game. The tribes were allowed to open the boxes at their camps. It said that the tribes had merged.
