Story

“	Someone's in the firing line and a twist flips the game on its head. Nothing is certain in the game of Survivor...	”
—Episode Synopsis

Day 33

Before the vote, Jonathan LaPaglia announced that there would not be an elimination. Instead, the tribe would be splitting into two new tribes of five, one of which, "Bounty", would live in the lap of luxury and have an advantage at the next Immunity Challenge, while the other, "Barren", would have to relocate to a new camp and start from scratch.

Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Survivor Auction
One at a time, a player will be presented with two covered items. They will then bet on a coin toss. If correct, the player can choose one item to be uncovered. If incorrect, both items will remain covered. The player will then choose which item they would like to take.

Challenge: A Leg Up
Castaways must balance a ball on the end of a balance beam with one leg. When they can no longer take the pain or lose their balance, their ball will fall off the beam, eliminating them from the challenge. The last person left with their ball on the beam wins.
Additional Stipulation: The winner would be guaranteed a spot on Bounty, and before the vote they would get to choose one other player to join them, effectively granting them immunity.
Winner: Kate Gloufchis (chose Morgan Mitchell to join Bounty)

Karin and Myles' confessionals were shown. Kaelan was seen writing Logan's name.

Zara “ (voting against Paulie) We've tried to put some kind of strategy behind it not sending you over there with Myles so let's see how that works out. ” Kristin “ (voting against Paulie) *mouthing Paulie's name* ” Logan “ (voting against AJ) This is just to keep you separated from the two girls. ” Karin “ (voting against AJ) We'll get our divorce eventually, but maybe you need therapy for now. ” Kaelan “ (voting against Logan) Sorry Loges. Didn't want to send anyone tonight. ” AJ “ (voting against Paulie) You're a great guy, but I hope I don't see you there. ” Paulie “ (voting against AJ) Sorry bro. ” Myles “ (voting against Paulie) Sorry Paulie, you're the perfect name to throw under the bus. But I think you owed me one anyway. Let's pray for a bountiful tomorrow. ” Morgan “ (voting against Logan) Let's hope you come back with some work ethic. ” Kate “ (voting against Logan) I'm voting for Logan. Sorry I spelt your name wrong at the last Tribal Council. ”

Karin, Kristin, & Paulie were shown writing AJ's name. Kate, Morgan, & Myles were shown writing Logan's name.

Zara “ (voting against Logan) I'm hoping that both AJ and I end up on the bountiful tribe. ” Karin “ (voting against AJ) Ahh, worth a shot. ” Paulie “ (voting against AJ) Not happy about this. ” Kristin “ (voting against AJ) *smiles and shows vote* ” Kate “ (voting against Logan) Stay strong. ” Myles “ (voting against Logan) Sorry, Paulie. We really need you and Kate and Morgan on opposite sides so we have options to vote for no matter who wins. ” Morgan “ (voting against Logan) The gift that keeps on giving. ” Kaelan “ (voting against Logan) You're the only one who can beat those girls. ”
