Night 14[]
As the Rarotonga tribe returns from Tribal Council, Adam Gentry and Cristina Coria rehash their earlier argument from Tribal Council, leading to Cristina becoming emotional.
Day 15[]
At Aitutaki, Ozzy goes fishing in the morning. Cao Boi wants to bring the Immunity Idol to the Reward Challenge, sparking a bit of a feud between him and Jonathan.
After winning the challenge, Cao Boi explains his dream in which he was told "Plan Voodoo", a strategy to split the six votes between Jonathan and Candice to flush out the Hidden Immunity Idol. Yul hears this and, although possessing the idol, is fond of the idea because it could get rid of an original Rarotonga member.
At Rarotonga, Cristina goes around asking many members of her tribe for a second chance, sensing that she is on the chopping block. Nate and Rebecca consider voting out Jenny because of her ties to the original Puka Puka tribe on the other side.
Although the Aitutaki women are suspicious of Jonathan, Yul is concerned that working with Cao Boi and Jessica could be difficult because of their differing strategies and personalities. Cao Boi (who brought the Immunity Idol to Tribal Council), is voted out 6-1-1, leaving Jessica firmly on the outs.
Because they won the Reward Challenge, Aitutaki was then given the right to kidnap a member of Rarotonga. They choose to kidnap Nate, keeping him safe from the vote and rewarding him with a plate of food. Despite Cristina proving her strength in the challenge and pleading her case at Tribal Council, Rarotonga votes out tribe pariah Cristina, 4-2.

Voting Confessionals[]
Jessica's confessional, and an edited versions of Jonathan's and Cao Boi's confessionals were aired.
Jonathan |
“ | (voting against Cao Boi) You're a good guy, but you talk too much, and in a game where they're throwing twists at us all the time, I think I have to take any wildcard out of the game that I can. Good luck to you. | ” |
Sundra |
“ | (voting against Cao Boi) I'm sorry. I just feel like you started telling me, telling too many lies around camp and it made for a real distressing atmosphere. It's kind of hard to work with you. | ” |
Jessica |
“ | (voting against Jonathan) Sorry, bub. I lost my trust in you. | ” |
Ozzy |
“ | (voting against Cao Boi) Sorry, man. Strategy. You sacrificed Cecilia, now I gotta sacrifice you. It's the only way I can get to Jonathan. You'll probably understand. | ” |
Cao Boi |
“ | (voting against Candice) I hope we will all stick to this plan, this Voodoo Plan, and hopefully with it expose the queen who has the Immunity Idol. Where is the Immunity Idol? Let's hope it comes out. Nothing personal. | ” |
Yul |
“ | (voting against Cao Boi) Cao Boi, I'm truly sorry for sending you home. You're a fascinating guy. You've done so much with your life, and I've definitely grown to admire and respect you. For me, after you turned on Becky and tried to vote her out at the last Tribal Council, I just realized that I couldn't put my faith in you; I couldn't trust you. You're so unpredictable, and I can't put my future with you. I wish you the best of luck with your family and your kids. I hope you have a wonderful life. Take care. | ” |
Becky |
“ | (voting against Cao Boi) The fact that you flipped so quickly and basically went behind my back and tried to get the whole tribe to vote me out at the last Tribal Council - right after that I lost complete trust in you. That's why I'm voting on you. | ” |
Candice |
“ | (voting against Cao Boi) Cao Boi, I'm voting for you tonight for two reasons. One, I heard you were trying to get me out, and two, because you drive me nuts. | ” |
Final Words[]
Cao Boi |
“ | It was a wonderful experience. I had a great time. I didn't make it as far as I planned on going, but that's how it goes. I did learn I am most vulnerable among the Asian community; people who are like me, but not like me. I was aware of them in the beginning, but eventually, I learned to trust them. I should have known better. | ” |

Cristina |
“ | I really enjoyed being on Survivor. It was a great experience. I was just disappointed I got voted off so soon. Basically, I almost feel like I was taken advantage of. But you know what? I met some really good people and I met some really awful people. But I guess that's part of the game. But it was just an awesome experience overall. | ” |
