Angelina is doing damage control after tribal council, but nobody believes her. Mike and Christian finally get a chance to talk, where they say the Angelina drama is good for them. Mike does express concerns though that Gabby might not be taking the alliance seriously, since she was batting so hard for Elizabeth at the last vote.

| Weapons at the ready |
Davie and Nick go searching and find a piece of paper with a drawing of a tree on it - the same drawing from the merge feast. Realizing they need to look for the tree, they find it, and Davie creates a diversion to allow Carl and Nick to dig. Nick uncovers the advantage, and it's a vote stealer. Carl decides to share about his nullifier now, and with all these tools combined, they hope to find a way to flip the game.

The reward challenge is for two teams of 6 to hold sandbags up in the air. If anybody drops a bag, they lose. Every few minutes, somebody must drop out and pass the weight to someone else. Gabby picks a team of almost the entire Strikeforce plus John, Mike gets everyone else. Gabby is the first out along with Angelina. Alison takes one from John to save his arms. Christian and Carl go out next. Dan starts losing grip and needs Davie's help. Kara puts in a surprisingly good shift and takes three. Dan takes three also and starts trash-talking. He ends up looking an idiot though when he drops one and costs the challenge for his team.

| Writing his own destiny |
Mike does some thinking after the reward, and comes to the conclusion that the Strikeforce is not gonna work for him after all. He tells Alec they need to get Christian out since he's the biggest threat. He takes it back to the Goliaths and they are all in agreement - leaving Angelina pretty incredulous, since this was her plan in the first place. Even more worrying, her name is the decoy.

| No repeat performance for Alison |
The immunity challenge is to hold up a buoy using two sticks. Kara gets in trouble early and is first out. Christian and then Alison lose also. Davie, John and Gabby aren't far behind...we are losing people fast. Carl and Alex out leaves us with Mike, Angelina, Nick and Dan. It's really hard to tell who would be good at this. The last two left are Angelina and Dan. As much as it would be interesting to see Angelina win, Dan is the one who gets it.
The Goliaths are telling Christian that Angelina is the vote, but really they're blindsiding him. Dan tries to reassure Angelina that if Christian uses an idol, he'd play his on her, but talking to others he's not fully committed to that. Alec lets Nick know Christian is gonna get blindsided to try and keep his trust. Nick lets Christian know he's in trouble and asks Davie whether they should use the vote stealer or not. But the real power to make a difference is in Davie's pocket. Is the time right to drop that secret?
At tribal council, Angelina says she asked for forgiveness and hopes that she got it. Jeff wonders if this is a crack, but Nick thinks they'll keep her around anyway. Carl concurs, saying he'll believe they'll turn on eachother when he sees it. John say he's happy to get rid of threats. Christian is worried that he made himself a threat too early, though points out he made connections with Goliaths...which in Angelina's eyes makes him an even bigger threat.
Nick does not use the vote stealer, and the vote proceeds as normal. Afterwards, Davie decides to pull out his idol and play it for Christian. Angelina pleads with Dan to use his,

and it looks like he's not going to, but eventually he does. Christian votes are canceled, Angelina votes are canceled...but there's yet another twist when John's name comes up and he is sent out. The wrestler is in good spirits and at least able to laugh about it. Angelina looks really guilty, and Dan is probably regretting playing that idol now.
Wow...the Davids picked the perfect person if they wanted to fracture the alliance. Will that shaky group hold together, and even if they do, will the vote stealer come into play? Whichever way you look at it, things are coming up David!
STAR OF THE WEEK: NICK WILSON
Davie got the hero move, but Nick probably had the stronger night overall...finding a vote stealer and getting the info out of Alec that even made the blindside possible. He seems to have a lot of options and nobody is really catching onto his game, so expect him to be around for a while.
