Serengeti Smack-down

Plot
The episode opens with Caelan and Lizzie sitting in first class. The two are strategizing, and talking about being in the final five. Caelan (CONF): This couldn't have turned out better, I was immune for the final five and now I'm alone with Lizzie

He tells her that she doesn't stand a chance against Kacvinsky, Sydney or Nupur in any sort of jury vote, and she disagrees, saying she could hold her own but understands all three would be big jury votes should that come to fruition. Caelan puts it in a different way, asking if she'd rather be against one of them or him and she starts to see where he's coming from.

The scene shifts to economy class, where Kacvinsky, Nupur and Sydney are sitting. They further agree on their final three deal, and it's weird to them that they are the only three in economy class. Nupur suggests getting rid of Caelan first, because Caelan has a higher chance of winning individual immunity. Sydney agrees, but also says Lizzie has a better social game and could plant a seed of distrust in their airtight alliance. The three continue talking when Chris lands the plane in Tanzania, Africa. The final five walk outside to see Chris decked out in traditional African wear and they are in the middle of the Serengeti. Set up before them for the first part of their challenge a path with piles of soccer balls on both sides. On the other side of the path, is a pile of plums.

Chris tells them their first challenge is a combination of cricket and soccer. Their goal will be, running the course one at a time, to run along the path and gather as many plums as they can. In the meantime, the other four contestants will be kicking soccer balls at them. Caelan and Kacvinsky cheer, and Nupur and Sydney are excited that they get to run. He then says in the second part they will hit those plums with a cricket bat trying to break their gourd, first one to break their gourd wins.

Lizzie is up first, and with Kacvinsky and Sydney on one side and Nupur and Caelan on the other, all four winding up ready to fire. Chris yells go and Lizzie sprints through the barrage of soccer balls, with Caelan's hitting her square in the back. She gets up, and goes and gathers up plums in her hands, turns around, and sprints back. Kacvinsky shoots one low knocking a few of the plums out of her hands, but she manages to make it back successfully.

Kacvinsky is up next, with Lizzie taking his spot on the side. He goes and manages to avoid the soccer balls until the very end, when Sydney hits him in the head causing him to fall over. Despite this he manages to preserve his plums, and gets back with a fair amount.

Caelan is up next, and he is confident as he is running down to the plums, managing to avoid every single ball shot at him. On his way back, he is gloating when Kacvinsky and Nupur hit him at the exact same time causing him to fall over, and the two to jump and cheer.

Next up is Nupur. As she is running down, when Lizzie kicks a ball at her she turns around and kicks it back. While she is distracted though, she gets hit in the back. She still manages to make it to the plums, and doesn't get hit on her travel back down the path.

Finally Sydney goes, getting hit multiple times on the way down but remaining completely unaffected. The contestants then line up at the line and each are handed a cricket bat. Chris yells go and they begin trying to hit the gourds with their plums.

Kacvinsky (CONF): It's a good thing I'm not hand-eye coordinated…

Nupur manages to be the first to break her gourd open, earning her an extra advantage in the safari challenge. Chris then lines up the other four contestants, and tells them they have fifteen seconds to open their gourd and claim what's inside. He yells go, and immediately Kacvinsky and Lizzie bust open their gourds. At the last second, Caelan get's frustrated and just chucks the bat at his, opening it. Inside the gourds are sling shots, goggles and pouches that hold tranquilizer balls. Nupur gets seven for coming in first, Kacvinsky and Lizzie each get three for opening their gourds, and Caelan gets two (much to his chagrin) because he didn't technically complete the challenge, but did open his gourd. Sydney only gets one tranquilizer ball, goggles and no sling shot for not opening her gourd. Chris then releases a bear from a cage so it will stand out in the safari. Their goal of the challenge is to capture that bear using the materials they were given.

Nupur (CONF): He can't be serious, a bear?

Caelan comments on how Chris no longer hides the fact that he is trying to kill them, and he ignores the comment and tells them to go. Caelan, Nupur and Sydney are walking together, when Caelan pulls the two girls into a huddle. He tells them that Kacvinsky is a huge threat, and they should team up for the challenge to get rid of him. Nupur immediately disagrees, but Sydney dwells on the idea. The two ultimately decide against it, and head off without Caelan.

Caelan (CONF): *holding Nupur's tranquilizer balls* Yeah I stole these in the huddle...probably going to come in handy

Nupur and Sydney end up splitting up as well to try and cover more ground, and suddenly, Nupur comes across a lion. She reaches in her ammo pocket but it is empty, and she realizes Caelan stole her ammo. She tries to calm down the lion, but ends up just sprinting away. She is running and looking behind her, when she runs into a paranoid Lizzie and Kacvinsky, who immediately take aim before realizing it is Nupur. She tells them she needs help since a lion is following her, and Lizzie and Kacvinsky each lend her a ball. Sydney in the meantime, has made a make-shift slingshot using things she found in the wild. She is walking around when she bumps into Caelan, who repeats his offer to her. She tells him she is still unsure, and Caelan says if she is going to be wishy washy she could become the next target. Suddenly, the two hear something rustle in the tall grass.

They both jump out, run toward the source and begin to scream. This causes the source of the rustling, Nupur, Lizzie and Kacvinsky, to also run out and scream and the five all shoot tranquilizer balls at each other. After about half an hour, the contestants all wake up with various parts of their body parts completely limp. Kacvinsky's left leg, Nupur's right arm, Sydney's neck, Caelan's torso, and both of Lizzie's hands. Chris walks in, and tells them it's time for a musical number, no matter how groggy they are. They sing Wide Awake, and by the time the song is over they are well enough to continue the hunt. The five have barely spread out, when they hear the bear roar. The five immediately reconvene, and fire a barrage of tranquilizer balls. In a photo finish, it is revealed Kacvinsky's is the ball that knocked the bear out, giving him the immunity win. He chooses to take Nupur with him to first class.

Sydney (CONF): Kacvinsky is one of my best friends, but maybe I would rather be in the finals with Caelan, do I take someone I can win against or someone that deserves it?

At dinner that night, the five are sitting together at a table. Caelan is very straightforward, and believes that it's time for Sydney to be eliminated. Shocked, Sydney angrily asks why, and Caelan retorts with the fact that she is untrustworthy, after eliminating Myra. She argues that Nupur voted off Myra as well, but Caelan responds his point stands. Sydney tells Nupur and Kacvinsky she is voting off Lizzie, and ask them to join her, but they are also unsure due to Caelan's very valid point. At the elimination ceremony, Chris tosses the first barf bag of peanuts to Kacvinsky, for being immune. He is relieved to be holding that in his hand, especially in the final five. He tosses two more out, one to Nupur and one to Caelan. Suddenly, a montage of votes is shown.

Kacvinsky (CONF): Sydney is one of my best friends, so I'll help her *stamps Lizzie's passport*

Caelan (CONF): My vote stands. *stamps Sydney's passport*

Sydney (CONF): As much as I want to eliminate Caelan, I need to think strategically *stamps Lizzie's passport*

Lizzie (CONF): Sorry but I have no other options *stamps Sydney's passport*

Nupur (CONF): *holding up both Sydney and Lizzie's passports, she looks unsure of which to decide, when Chris walks in and tells her to hurry up*

Chris then announces that the final barf bag goes to...

...Sydney. Relieved, she pulls Nupur and Kacvinsky into a hug, and Caelan curses under his breath.

Caelan (CONF): Well, my attempt to break that apart failed, time to try a different route

Lizzie looks shocked, and after surpassing forty-six contestants, Lizzie is officially eliminated from the game. She hugs her friends good-bye, and says she had so much fun playing the game and wishes she could have made it to the end. She disappointedly takes the drop of shame, with the final four sticking their heads out the door and waving goodbye.
