Overview |
Evan returns from the hospital with bad news: his hernia has a 99% chance of causing permanent damage if not healed properly. Coral joins him shortly after, knee cap back in place, but on crutches. The two decide to downplay their injuries in fear that the others will think they are weak and send them to Exile.
On the other end of the house Diem, Linette and Aviv grow close and admit that they have each others backs.
At the challenge T.J. drops shocking news when he tells the cast that due to doctor's orders, Coral and Evan must leave the challenge for good. In tears, Coral attempts to change the executive producer's decision but soon realizes they must leave Australia. The rest of the cast see this decision as an advantage.
Batten Down the Hatches is the name of the game as each team must climb down two ladders hanging 25 feet in the air out of a dive boat. Once at the bottom of the ladders, they must swing to one another, trade ladders, then make it back up to the boat as fast as possible.
After a few tries and shaky ladders, most teams figure out the perfect strategy and make it back up to the boat. Diem and Derrick come out the winners and Diem is filled with excitement until she realizes she is sending one of her friends to Exile. Derrick convinces her that the best bet for them is to send Linette and Shane into Exile. Linette is overcome with anger and Diem feels horrible.
Before deliberation, Wes yet again tries to sway votes but everyone catches on to his plan. At deliberation, Wes' actions play against him and he and Casey are sent to Exile. |
