Night 30 and all are happy that Drama Queen Sierra is gone. Now they can relax. Sort of. Coach is now upset about the rogue votes by Erinn against Stephen and Taj against Debbie. He tells Debbie they need to go next. But Debbie is getting weary of Coach. She walks away as he says he is sur- rounded by cowards. LOL!
Day 31 and Debbie decides that it's time to distance herself from Coach. So she chums up with JT and Taj about booting Coach next. JT and Stephen then have a private chat about Debbie. Neither really like her much. Just then, Debbie joins them. She butts in and pledges her loyalty to them. Stephen is apprehensive of her.
Time for the Reward Challenge. It's 'Survivor Auction'! Each player gets $500. Bids are in $20 increments and no sharing cash or food. The first item up is a big bowl of French fries. Debbie wins it for $120. The next item is a chicken parmesan dinner complete with pasta, garlic bread and wine. Coach wins it with $320. Next item is a covered mystery treat. JT wins it for $160. It's nachos and salsa! Another mystery item is bid on. Stephen wins it for $120. He won a kabob of grilled chicken hearts. YUMMO! Jeff calls out the last item. It's a cell phone with video messages from everyone's families. Only the winner gets to watch theirs.
Jeff tells them that they may share cash on this item. Everyone gives their money to Taj. They concede the prize to her. Taj is excited and Jeff takes $20 and hands her the phone. It's her husband, Eddie, who ends the mes- sage with a "...see you at camp." Jeff explains to Taj that her husband will meet her at camp. She weeps for joy. Jeff then offers her a choice. The others may meet their loved ones if she chooses to exile herself. Naturally, her husband would join her there. She accepts the offer and heads for Exile while the others eagerly return to camp.
At Exile Sand Dune, Taj reunites with her husband. He's amazed at how she looks and even more amazed at what she's had to endure. Back at Camp Forza, the others meet their loved ones. Erinn's dad, JT's sister. Stephen's brother, Debbie's husband and Coach, his assistant soccer coach. LOL!!! This guy has no life at all. Needless to say there is plenty of emotions flowing. All bond in the usual way, except Coach, who has his assistant perform some chiropractic work on his back. LOL! Maybe he's smarter than he acts? That might be worth dissing a family member.
Taj warns her husband about scorpions and other creepy crawlies as they prepare a fire. He is very impressed by how she's managed. But as the day wanes away, it's time for all of the loved ones to depart. Goodbyes are said and last hugs exchanged. And it's back to THE GAME!
Day 32 and Debbie is still pitching betraying Coach to JT. Coach then wanders over and talks about booting Taj to take out her idol. He doesn't know that Stephen is holding it. LOL! JT plays along but as soon as Coach wanders off, the rest discuss booting him. They'll make him think that Taj is the target. Debbie then discusses booting Erinn and Taj next with JT and Stephen. She again pledges loyalty to them and offers to accept 3rd Place. The boys and Erinn have a chat and they tell her about Debbie's offer. They agree she needs to go.
It's time for the Immunity Challenge. It's an Obstacle-Memorize/Match Game. Each must negotiate a series of obstacles to reach a rotating spiral of 10 math symbols. They must memorize them and return through the obstacles to work stations. There, they must get the math symbols in the correct sequence and solve a math problem.
JT gets a big lead early on as he makes his way to the symbols first. He's soon joined by Debbie, then Coach. JT reaches his station and starts to write in the symbols, but he needs to go back a second time to get the rest. Debbie and Coach likewise make second trips back. Stephen is the last to work on his equation. But he solves it quickly and wins!!! Jeff is very impressed! Stephen explains how he converted the symbols to numbers and remembered them as a phone number. Very clever!
Back at camp, Stephen and JT revel in how well they are controlling The Game. They tell Taj about Debbie's antics. Later, the boys reconsider booting Debbie since she does do a lot of work around the camp. Coach joins them and again starts talking up booting Taj. They play along with him. JT and Stephen are very surprised that there has not been a plot to boot them since they are the obvious power-players.
At Tribal Council, Coach heaps praise on the remaining players. He singles out the strengths of Stephen and his unwavering trust in Debbie. LOL! Oh, if he only knew! JT praises Coach despite Jeff yanking his chain some more. Debbie adds that Coach is trying to be honest. Coach praises Taj for her sacrifices. Debbie thinks tonight's vote will change the pecking order.
It's time to vote. We see Coach cast a vote for Taj and Debbie for Coach. Jeff gathers the ballots and reads them. Coach and Taj get one vote each. Then Jeff reads off the next three against Debbie! LOL! She actually got all four votes from Jalapao + Erinn.
SPOILERS: Erinn loses ground with her alliances when she misspeaks. Coach digs deep to stay in The Game.
