Lauren is sad to lose her "older sister" Kelley, on both a personal and a game level. She wants Rick out next. Gavin says he wanted to be included, and Wardog snaps on him. Ron repairs his relationship with Julie and tells her about the extra vote. Rick tells Wardog and Ron that they're the biggest threats left, so they need to stick together because no-one else is gonna take them to the end. They decide to target Aurora. Damn, seems like she's always on the bottom, no matter what she does.

| Another stellar challenge performance from Wardog |
The reward challenge is two teams of four. Two members will swim the keelhaul section to get rings, and the other two will be the tossers. It's Wardog/Lauren/Rick/Julie vs Ron/Aurora/Gavin/Victoria, playing for a trip to the mudpool. Wardog really botches the dive harder than I ever thought possible, and almost swims to the wrong platform, but still gets his ring back roughly the same time as Ron. Aurora smokes Lauren when it's their turn. On the tossing, Rick steps up to win for his team.
Joe comforts Kelley on Extinction, but Reem is happy she's out and lets her know she thinks it's her fault she got voted out. We get a close-up on Kelley's tears as she cries it out and talks about how she hopes this game will teach her to be more open.

| No rice for you! |
The four people from the losing team all agree Rick should be the next to go. Gavin is out for Wardog's blood but is happy to stick with the numbers for now (kinda proving Wardog right). Ron gives Aurora the advantage back in order to cement their bond, but now they're getting into an argument where he calls her a "rice Nazi". "I'm used to being around drama queens because I am one" says Aurora.
At the mudpool, Rick and Wardog are having fun rubbing mud all over eachother (but not in a homosexual way, that's for sure). According to Rick, the two girls aren't playing the game...but turns out he's wrong there, as they're strategizing together in the pool on the downlow. Julie considers Wardog the threat, but Lauren thinks it's Rick.

| Not sure what's going on here |

| Rick Devens, challenge star |
The immunity challenge is to jump across pyramid structures, move bags through a tube and solve a puzzle at the end. Finally, a non-balance challenge! Everyone gets over the pyramids, with Ron being the slowest. Aurora takes the lead going into the puzzle with Gavin behind her. Rick does well on the puzzle, as Aurora gets frustrated. However he stalls right at the end, and allows Aurora back into it. Rick figures it out and wins immunity again.
With Rick safe, most people's targets are switching to Wardog...but Ron isn't sure and heeds his warning that if he goes, the other threats will fall like dominoes. Wardog tries to get Julie to vote Aurora, and she wants to, but is annoyed that he didn't just do that last time. Lauren and Julie talk, as Lauren isn't sure she wants Wardog to go since she did have a good relationship with him before the betrayal. Aurora senses people not talking to her and considers playing her extra vote.

| The peanut gallery have a lot to say |
At tribal council, Gavin reveals him and Wardog haven't talked since the Kelley vote, which gets a reaction from Kelley on the jury. Wardog is called out as the ringleader behind that big move and he drags Ron under the bus with him. There's a lot of talk about how many threats are gone already and whether that will continue, but Aurora says not everyone is gonna agree who the threats are.
The vote is between Aurora and Wardog...this shouldn't really be a complicated decision, and it isn't, as Wardog gets snuffed. Rick was left on the outs again. And Kelley is loving that Lauren got revenge for her. Well, the so-called goats ended up calling the shots this round, which proves that maybe it's not a good thing to be the biggest threat at final 8.
STAR OF THE WEEK: LAUREN O'CONNELL
Great bounceback for Lauren, who may have lost her closest ally but still has a strong shot of getting to the end. Now she just needs to finish the job on Rick, which shouldn't be too hard.
