Night 30 after Tribal Council finds Shane dismayed that Courtney, not Danielle, had been booted. Aras and Cirie give excuses why they couldn't tell Shane that there had been a change in plans. Shane buys their story. He doesn't really care who went, so long as it wasn't him. The next morning, Shane even seems pleased that Courtney is gone as things are calmer now. Terry, on the other hand, isn't happy. Danielle had lied to him in promising to vote with Courtney and him to boot Aras.
Reward Challenge this episode is called, 'Looking For Love'. Consisting of a four-stage obstacle course, the last player at each stage is eliminated. Thus, only two will face off at the fourth stage of the event. The winner gets to choose who visits with a loved one. Stage 1 is to dig up a sack and then cross a finish line. Shane is out. Cirie is out after Stage 2, which is to crawl under an obstacle and untie a wooden snake while carrying the sack. Danielle is out after Stage 3 which involves going through a wading pool to untie a fish from a pole while carrying the sack and the snake. Aras and Terry begin very even in the final stage, traversing a multi-level obstacle while carrying all three items (the sack, the snake and the fish). Terry gets through the mid-point first and when Aras drops all his goodies, Terry wins easily. All the loved ones are trotted out: Terry's wife, Aras' mom, Cirie's husband, Danielle's mom and Shane's son. Terry selects himself and Shane to spend an overnight with their loved ones at a well-stocked bungalow. He let's Cirie's husband spend a night at the camp and permits Aras one hug from his mom. Danielle gets nothing except a ride to Exile Island.
Danielle is pretty bummed out about not even getting to hug her mom. She pretends a coconut is Terry's head as she machetes it. She knows that this is Terry's payback for Courtney being booted. Back at Gitanos Beach, Cirie's husband, HB, is shocked how primitive things are. Also, how filthy. Parts of snails and other litter are everywhere. Even the boiled water is dirty. At the bungalow, Terry and Company find a well stocked kitchen and fridge. Terry's wife is surprised how thin he is. Shane tells his son how he almost quit The Game early on. Terry shows his wife the secret immunity idol and she discusses strategy with him. All four have dinner together and Shane determines that Terry's wife is even more competitive than he is.
Day 33 finds HB doing all the morning chores at Gitanos. Cirie and Aras kick back as HB gathers wood, boils water, etc. He doesn't mind and tells Cirie how impressed he is with her as a boat picks HB up. Another boat arrives returning Terry and Shane. Terry explains his choices, which ruffles Aras' feathers. It seems that Aras thinks spending a night with his mom is equal to that of Terry spending a night with his wife. Terry laughs at this foolishness and tells Aras that maybe when he as a wife, he'll understand.
It's time for the Immunity Challenge. Each must balance themselves on top of a pole off shore. Next to each pole is a bamboo tube containing a flag which is attached to a float. Each perch on the pole has a rope tied to it with a small bucket on the other end. The object is to bring up water and then carefully pour it into the bamboo tube, causing the flag to rise. Once high enough, the first to be able to grab their flag wins. Terry leads this event from the beginning and naturally wins his fifth straight immunity.
Terry is happy he won and is now thinking about taking Shane to the Finals as few people like him. Shane thinks Danielle is going tonight. Aras talks with Danielle about booting Shane. Aras tells her that Cirie is on board with this plan. Danielle is happy and agrees. She feels she can trust Cirie. Shane then talks with Cirie about booting Danielle, then Aras. Cirie is concerned about going to the Finals against Danielle, as she bonded with many of The Jury.
At Tribal Council, Terry talks about how tough it was to choose who saw their loved ones. Cirie says that HB enjoyed his visit. Shane is very happy to have been with his son. Jeff redirects Aras to discuss the rivalry with Terry. Aras says it's fun to compete against Terry. Shane tells all how trusting he is and how he's never lied. Danielle says that The Game is all about making moves and deception. Shane admits he's a good choice for being 'carried' to the Finals. Danielle is concerned about being out of the loop for the two days she spent on Exile Island. It's time to vote. Terry votes to boot Aras, Shane votes to boot Danielle, and the rest boot Shane.
SPOILERS: Cirie stands up to Terry. Aras and Terry get physical during a challenge. Danielle decides it's time to ally herself with Terry.
