Story

Day 11

On Day 11, an earthquake shakes the island before a Tribe Switch occurs. Lea Masters and Scout Cloud Lee are chosen as tribe chiefs. Scout is tasked with arranging the other eleven castaways into two tribes of five, leaving one person out, while Lea would choose which tribe he would join. Scout would join the tribe that Lea does not pick.

The odd-person out, Lisa Keiffer, would then choose which tribe she would join. Lisa chose to join the new Yasur tribe.

	Rory	“	(voting against Travis) Bubba, you know you're my brother, we were just put in an awkward situation where it was going to be you or I.	”

Final Words

	Travis	“	I had a great time playing. Uh, got in trouble throwing a little signal. I think the Yankees are going to give me a job to work in first base so I can send some signals. It really shocked me how close you can become with a person when you're with them that long. And, uh, one thing I learned, the important thing is what you, uh… have in life, and that's my family.	”
