On Day 22, a disgruntled Lex attempted to identify who cast the second vote against him. He mistakenly accused Kelly of casting the mystery vote, which Kelly vehemently denied. At the Reward Challenge, [[Ethan Zohn|Ethan]] won a trip to town and two goats to be bartered for any object he wished to buy. As a last minute surprise, Ethan was tasked to pick a companion to join him. Disliking the prospect of political backlash, Ethan begrudgingly picked Lex by virtue of him finishing second at the challenge.

On Day 24, Ethan won his second challenge, this time for immunity. Back at camp, Lex was convinced that Kelly cast his mystery vote and campaigned to his fellow Borans that she had defected. Fed up by Lex's misguided instincts, Kelly returned the favor by actually flipping to the Samburu alliance. Unbeknownst to her, the Samburu alliance had cracks of its own, notably [[Brandon Quinton|Brandon]]'s disdain of Frank's outlandish personality. In the end, Brandon's refusal to be in an alliance with Frank swung him to the Boran side, sending a blindsided Kelly to the [[Jury|jury]] in a decisive 5-4 vote. Brandon immediately found himself in hot water for switching his vote. |

Unable to sway Kim J., Teresa had no choice but to join the tribe in eliminating Frank in an emotionally-charged Tribal Council. |

Tribe History
The Moto Maji tribe was born moments before the Day 20 Immunity Challenge. Six hours into the endurance challenge, Clarence brokered a deal with Teresa to let him win the challenge, having no allies and and being branded as a physical threat in future challenges. Despite Teresa's initial reservations, she and Clarence played a single-round game of Rock-paper-scissors to determine the winner. Clarence was defeated, winning Teresa the challenge. The merged tribe agreed to move to the old Boran camp.
The next day, Lex deliberately claimed to Clarence the tribe unanimously agreed to vote him out, citing his strength in challenges, to the ire of Kelly and Kim J., with the latter wanting to target outcast Frank instead. Despite his efforts to convince his fellow ex-Borans to take advantage of their 6-4 majority over the ex-Samburus, both factions sent Clarence home in an 8-2 vote. Teresa, who promised to not vote for Clarence, cast the same vote as him: Lex.
On Day 22, a disgruntled Lex attempted to identify who cast the second vote against him. He mistakenly accused Kelly of casting the mystery vote, which Kelly vehemently denied. At the Reward Challenge, Ethan won a trip to town and two goats to be bartered for any object he wished to buy. As a last minute surprise, Ethan was tasked to pick a companion to join him. Disliking the prospect of political backlash, Ethan begrudgingly picked Lex by virtue of him finishing second at the challenge. Back at camp, while the tribe was elated by the absence of the unpopular Lex, old tribal lines seemed to be reconsidered, with the Borans and Samburus regrouping. On Day 24, Ethan won his second challenge, this time for immunity. Back at camp, Lex was convinced that Kelly cast his mystery vote and campaigned to his fellow Borans that she had defected. Fed up by Lex's misguided instincts, Kelly returned the favor by actually flipping to the Samburu alliance. Unbeknownst to her, the Samburu alliance had cracks of its own, notably Brandon's disdain of Frank's outlandish personality. In the end, Brandon's refusal to be in an alliance with Frank swung him to the Boran side, sending a blindsided Kelly to the jury in a decisive 5-4 vote. Brandon immediately found himself in hot water for switching his vote.
The next day, the survivors were tasked to pair up for the Reward Challenge. To each other's disappointment, Brandon and Frank ended up pairing with each other. In a surprise turn of events, the unlikely duo dominated and ended up winning the challenge, winning themselves a movie date, a feat that was seen as hilarious and awkward by their tribemates. With Brandon away, Ethan and Tom expressed to Lex they distrust the bartender, while Lex argued otherwise, leading Ethan and Tom to question Lex's own allegiance. Realizing his protectiveness of Brandon had put him in jeopardy, Lex went on to win the Immunity Challenge on Day 27. Despite Lex's attempts to save Brandon, the Borans joined forces with the Samburus, voting Brandon out, 6-2.
Over the next three days, Tom and Ethan continued to question Lex's loyalty even after Brandon's elimination, thus forcing Lex to win the next Immunity Challenge on Day 30. Back at camp, Teresa proposed to Kim J. to vote off the congenial Ethan in hopes to save the eccentric Frank.

The next Immunity Challenge consisted of elements from past challenges. In a tight race between Lex and Ethan, Lex won his third Immunity Challenge, securing him another day. Desperate to save herself, Teresa finally admitted to Lex she was Lex's mystery voter at Moto Maji's first Tribal Council, and also warned him about Tom secretly gunning after him.
