Chrissy is glad that the Heroes have so many cracks, and justifies her non-idol use by saying that now she has a very convincing fake. Alan is actually happy that he's made Ashley/JP into targets, indicating there might be a method to his madness after all.

Checking in with the Hustlers, there seems to be one person clearly not fitting in, and that's Simone, who Ryan describes as "weird". Ali however sees Simone as someone that will be loyal to her. On the Healers, Jessica and Cole catch some fish and flirt. Joe and Mike's relationship seems to have improved, but Joe is still throwing him under the bus over his idol searching. On a hunt of his own, Joe finds a clue and asks Cole for help in deciphering it. It turns out to not be about the raft like he thought, and actually means "5 feet from the well". Joe is able to find it and dig it up. But now that Cole knows his secret, he has to be very careful with how he handles it.

| Chrissy's perfect match |
JP is catching fish and hoping to mitigate the target on his back. Chrissy talks about having lots of options, and cycles through her tribemates for which one she wants to team up with. After writing off JP (too dumb), Ashley (not trustworthy) and Alan (too crazy), she eventually settles on Ben. The two of them agree to work together but also keep their connection on the downlow.
We get a funny moment now where Patrick gets scared of a crab. But Patrick's constant attention seeking is annoying the rest of his tribe, particularly Lauren. Even Ali, who had an early connection with Patrick, is now thinking of cutting him loose.

The immunity challenge is to move puzzle pieces out of an underwater cage, then use them to set up a signpost. Devon does the diving for the Hustlers, JP does it for the Heroes, and the Healers send a few different people, a strategy that leaves them last. Constructing the signposts evens it up, and once again Mike and Desi do their thing to take a win! Between the Heroes and the Hustlers now, and it could be anyone's game. Simone appears to struggle and is told to step back and let Ali take the lead. The Heroes win, and Devon rants about how Simone is dead weight.

Simone has to do work to save herself so decides to exploit the rift between Lauren and Patrick. Patrick thinks he has the boys and Ali on board for Simone and that it's a done deal. Ali tells Ryan that Simone's plan is Patrick and he reacts negatively, thinking they would lose every single challenge if they did that. But Ali makes the point that Simone is easy to control, whereas Patrick is a loose cannon...so maybe it's not such a crazy idea.
Jeff asks Ryan how he feels about being at tribal and he compares it to a birthday party for a kid he doesn't like. Lauren says it's more like a funeral. Patrick talks about wanting a strong tribe, but Simone would rather build a solid group she can trust. When Patrick talks about trust, he says he can trust "most people" here. A not very reassuring answer that makes the rest of his tribe visibly nervous.
The votes are read, and they decide to stick with the simple plan and get Simone out. Which sucks, as I thought she had a lot of potential. Seems they felt they needed Patrick's strength...but just how long can they put up with him?
STAR OF THE WEEK: ALI ELLIOTT
Ali is the social butterfly of the Hustlers, who seems to have good relationships with everyone and a smart strategic mind for considering every option. When that tribe starts to erupt, my bet's on Ali coming out clean.
