Voted Out at Tribal Council: ElyseRedemption Island Duel Winner: ChristineLeft the Game: StaceyRecap: When Stacey arrived at Redemption Island, she vowed to tell Savaii at the duel that Coach was in control of Upolu. At Upolu, Brandon felt offended by Mikayla's answer during the previous Tribal Council that she disliked him because he was a Hantz.
Albert, Mikayla, Dawn, and Whitney went to witness the Redemption Island Duel. Christine and Stacey told Dawn and Whitney that Coach, whom they insisted to call Benjamin, was in complete control, Albert was Coach's right-hand man, and the entire tribe were liars.The duel consisted of dropping a ball into a metal chute. The ball would travel down a spiraling metal track and exit out of one of two points. The castaway would have to catch the ball and drop the ball back into the chute at the top. Every few minutes, an additional ball would be added to the track until six balls were simultaneously going around the track. If a ball exits the track and is not caught, the castaway would be eliminated from the challenge. Christine won her third duel in a row and Stacey was sent home.
When Albert and Mikayla returned to camp, they told the tribe about Stacey's venting, which upset Coach as he felt it would put a target on his back. Albert found the clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol, but when he couldn't find the Idol itself, he told Coach and Sophie about the clue to enhance their trust in him. Later, Coach found the Hidden Immunity Idol and told his new sub-alliance of three.
At the combined Reward/Immunity Challenge, the castaways would rip pieces of meat off a large pork roast using only their mouths and put it into a basket. The tribe with the most meat in the basket after ten minutes would win. The challenge was won by Upolu by a slim 2 ounces (56.7 g), continuing the trend of alternating tribal wins.
Back at the Savaii camp, Ozzy wanted to vote out Cochran, while Jim, Cochran, and Dawn wanted to blindside Elyse to break up her close alliance with Ozzy. In an effort to get the majority fourth vote, Jim approached Keith about voting out Elyse. Keith talked to Whitney about how to vote out Elyse without breaking their alliance with Ozzy. Whitney thought about letting Jim, Cochran, and Dawn vote for Elyse, but she and Keith would vote for anybody but Cochran. At Tribal Council, Keith and Whitney threw their votes against Dawn, allowing the alliance of three to blindside Elyse by a vote of 3–2–2.
