Julie explains to Rick why she voted Wardog out, but Rick is more pissed with Ron for lying to him again. Ron makes a ploy to keep Rick on his side by offering him the advantage menu...not telling him that it's expired. Rick appears to buy it.

| A Survivor honeymoon |
The loved ones reward is to scoop up water from the ocean and throw it to your partner for them to fill up a bucket...yay, they brought this one back! Jeff brings everybody their loved ones, starting with Rick's wife. Julie's husband, Lauren's dad, Ron's husband and Victoria's dad come out next, and Victoria's ice queen persona melts away. We also meet Aurora's brother and lastly, Gavin's wife, who he married 2 days before coming out, a fact that stuns the rest of the players. The challenge begins. Gavin is doing well at it, so are Lauren and Ron. Aurora and Rick have trouble tossing, with Rick just drenching his wife. Victoria gets exhausted on the running. Ron's partner Lloyd finds the last few drops needed to squeeze out a win. Now Ron gets to choose two people to join him, and he takes Julie and Gavin. Well, Victoria knows where she is on his totem pole now.
Gavin gets a tender moment with his wife, as Ron informs his husband that he's running the game. Knowing he's next to go, Rick goes looking for an idol, as Lauren encourages Aurora to check his bag. Rick comes back and catches her, but she has no shame about it, which just makes it more awkward for Rick than her.

| Stop interrupting my grindin' |
Rick goes back out for a second run and finds a clue that tells him it's in a tree above camp...but there's no way for him to get it with everyone around. At night, Rick makes his move and climbs up a tree which almost wakes some people up. He manages to make it up and get it undetected, then quips about how they searched his bag too soon. Great, looks like we have another Ben on our hands.

| Love lifts us up where we belong |
The immunity challenge is to stand on tiny footholds. Rick jokingly tries to make a deal immediately, and Ron is visibly having a tough time. Rick is down first...big relief for everyone else. But Ron is not far behind, and then Victoria joins him. Julie is out next and needs to be carried to the bench by Ron. Then Aurora drops...shocking as she was probably the favorite. It's Lauren vs Gavin now, which Gavin wins.
Everybody sits around back at camp, as Rick sees the writing on the wall. Julie and Ron tell Rick they're voting for Aurora, as Rick wonders whether the advantage is legit. Victoria, Lauren and Aurora team up to make their own plans, saying they should put their votes on Ron as a back-up. Aurora reveals she has an extra vote wants to give it to Gavin since he's the only one guaranteed to be able to use it in a tie. They're taking a big gamble that he's on their side though, since he does feel indebted to Ron after he gave him the family visit.

| Plotting a plan B |
At tribal council, Rick brings up the Aurora drama. Ron shoots down Jeff's roulette wheel analogy when talking about contingency plans, hoping he does know what's going on. Lauren says Ron's picks for the reward were very telling. Rick expresses his hope at being able to find a crack. Victoria says she doesn't want to sit next to Rick at the end, but Rick points out some of them are going to be wrong in their ideal final 3.

| Villains revealed |
Rick, Aurora and Ron are all on the chopping block as we see the votes cast. Rick pulls out the advantage to see if he can use it...but Jeff tells him it's a dud. Rick blasts Ron and Julie for trying to embarrass him - but then pulls out his real idol and plays it anyway. The fall guy ends up being Ron, which Rick wasn't part of, but is very happy to see. And it looks like the jury are too, especially Julia.
On Extinction. Ron gets a surprisingly good reception, with Aubry and Reem trying to comfort him. Well, Rick is still in the game but another power player is gone. Can Julie adapt without him? And how long will the Rick vs everyone storyline continue?
STAR OF THE WEEK: RICK DEVENS
Rick entered the week the number one target and he made it through. He has the whole jury rooting for him, and whilst his position hasn't changed much, he still has a chance as long as he's there.
