PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: After voting out his duo, Ken knew he needed to beg Crystal for forgiveness. “I almost want to leave right now and apologize,” he said, “but at the same time, I want to win. I have to win. And I’m going to win, I just have to play all my cards right.” Meanwhile, Lauren, Kelley, and Jenn couldn’t believe the move they made. “At this point, we are pretty much guaranteed at least fire making,” Kelley said, “Because either we’ll get Ken or Jenn out, or the two of them will go after us, and in that case, we’ll smoke them in fire—no pun intended.” 
PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: Having stuck with loyalty, Crystal knew she was going to have to confront Lauren and Kelley back at camp. Lauren was upset that Crystal voted for her. “I thought the four of us were tight,” Lauren said. “It only shows that we can’t trust you two,” Kelley said. Ken was upset because he was being roped into Crystal’s move. “Why did you do that?” Ken asked Crystal. Crystal told him that she wanted to keep her loyalty and didn’t think it mattered if she threw a vote to Lauren. “But now that you did that, there’s no way they’re going to trust us,” Ken said. Crystal was upset and decided to blow off some steam, while Ken tried some damage control with Lauren and Kelley. Meanwhile, Jenn was happy that all of the attention was off of her. “Somehow, I’ve faded into the background, and it’s time for me to play my idol tonight, win immunity in final four, and be sitting in that final three,” she said. 
PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: With the final six here, Christine and Jenn knew that they were facing and uphill battle against two pairs. “Ken and Crystal promised us an alliance in order to get our votes to boot Shan,” Christine said, “So I just have to hope that they uphold that.” Meanwhile, Kelley and Lauren knew that they also had a final four with Crystal and Kenny. Crystal and Kenny, meanwhile, met to discuss their next plan. “We have to play this very carefully,” Ken said, “If we get rid of Wentworth or Lauren, then we’re the last pair left and that’s super dangerous.” “But If we get out Christine or Jenn,” Crystal said, “then we are breaking the word we JUST made.” The two didn’t know what to do and planned on the immunity challenge bringing some clarity. 
PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: Christine and Jenn tried to do some damage control, knowing they flipped on their alliance and were unsuccessful. “I need you all to know where I’m coming from,” Christine told her previous alliance, but Crystal was upset, knowing that it would be harder to move forward. Kenny, however, knew that the biggest threat was still Shan. “All of us still have to set our sights toward Shan,” Kenny said, “She has three guaranteed jury votes from Ricard, Sarah, and Wendell, and it may grow beyond that if she manages to make the final three.” Ken hoped his words had reached his alliance. 
PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: Seeing that Sarah went home, Wendell and Shan knew they were on the outs. They bonded, knowing that they had so much worth fighting for, even beyond the game. “To know that I can trust you,” Shan said, “it’s a type of bond that can’t be broken, and I do hope we can find a way to run this to the very end.” Wendell reciprocated, but also knew that he was in deep water, with only one real ally left. “If there’s anything I can do to sway this game back in our favor,” Wendell said, “I will do it.” 
PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: Kelley, having flipped on her alliance, awaited lots of fireworks back at camp. Sarah and Wendell decided to play it cool, but Shan was very upset, and told Kelley off. “I can’t believe you would betray this alliance for people that definitely don’t have your back,” she said. Lauren returned from exile and found out what happened, and consoled Kelley. “Wherever you go, I go,” Lauren said, “So I stand by you and will defend your decision.” Lauren then showed Kelley her idol, and the two celebrated knowing that this could really further them in the game.
