Debbie talks about how they have a strong 6 now and are just gonna pick off the others one-by-one. Andrea and Zeke are making that job easier by fighting with eachother. Sarah tells Zeke they can get Andrea out next, but that she still wants to work with him.

The reward challenge sends two teams through an obstacle course and then has them pull out rings with a hook. Michaela is left unpicked, and is furious. But it's actually a great opportunity for her as there's an advantage right below her seat. Several players find the course tough...Troyzan loses his shorts, Aubry goes slow on the beam, and Zeke takes a while too. Sierra and Brad's team manage to get a good lead on the grappling, since Cirie can't even get up on the platform. Sarah dives in to try and help her, and even after the team loses, Cirie still wants to conquer her fears...and does. Probst calls it one of the most powerful moments ever, which seems a bit of a stretch, but it was pretty sweet. As they are leaving by boat, Michaela still hasn't noticed the advantage...but Sarah does, and manages to sneak on and grab it. That was smooth.
Sarah checks out her advantage and it's a vote stealer. She then says she's gonna be the first person to use it correctly - oof, shots fired at Fishbach. Meanwhile on reward, Debbie is talking about what an expert in airplanes she is. Sierra is happy that the people on the bottom are all mad at eachother instead of getting together. But Sarah talks with Cirie and is contemplating a flip.

| It all falls apart |
The immunity challenge is to spell the word immunity on a wobbly table, which I'm sure Aubry and Tai remember. Tai struggles early on, arranging his blocks but then going back to correct them, with even Probst confused as to what he's doing. Andrea pulls into a lead with Troyzan and Brad behind her. Andrea falls, then Brad falls, leaving Troyzan with a lot of time to place his last one. Troyzan wins immunity and is safe.
Sierra and Brad are very irritated with Michaela, but they know that Andrea is the smarter move since she's a physical and strategic threat. Sarah walks in on the group huddle to see the plan has already been made without her, which pisses her off. Sarah and Zeke talk about making a move, but they'd need Andrea to do it. Andrea agrees (not that she had much choice), but then Sarah decides to maybe not flip after all once Sierra offers her final 3 with Debbie.

| Debbie falls into old patterns |
Debbie tells Aubry that Michaela is the vote, hoping to throw them off if there's an idol. She also tells Aubry that Sarah doesn't trust her, and you can tell that she really enjoys having power over her. But Aubry instead decides to feed all of this info back to Sarah, which is now making Sarah want to flip AGAIN. Stuck in the swing vote position, hopefully this goes better for her than it did last time.

At tribal council. Cirie gets to talk about her emotional moment at the reward challenge. Andrea then talks about how she needed immunity and that it's probably going to be her regardless of what they say. Zeke calls out the six, and Debbie smugly claims they're unbreakable. Troyzan makes the case they should just take final 6 and see what happens, but the others think that's BS.
The votes are read, and Michaela is eating this time. Debbie gets a rude awakening as the six fails to hold up. Welp, I guess Sarah flipped. Now Brad and Sierra are staring at eachother, wondering what to do next. To quote Zeke, the deck has been reshuffled in a major way! But remember, the other side still has three idols and a legacy advantage, so they're far from out of it.
STAR OF THE WEEK: SARAH LACINA
A solid episode for Sarah all round, she used her observation skills to get the vote stealer and made one of the game's biggest moves so far. Time will tell if she picked the right side, but she's definitely playing hard.
