I'm A Survivor

Plot
The episode opens with Nupur, Kacvinsky and Myra all sitting in first class. Myra is excited she won without having to try, and Nupur is talking to Kacvinsky about the game. She is asking about if what Serena told her was true. Kacvinsky assures her it isn't, but is worried now that Nupur is distrustful in the alliance. He is hoping that Serena isn't planting any more seeds of distrust back in economy class. Kacvinsky hears Myra listening in on their conversation, so he tries to quiet down, but Myra lets him know that she knows about the alliance, since it isn't really a secret. Kacvinsky apologizes for not having her in it, but says that she was on the other team so that could be where her loyalties lied. She accepts it, saying that they have each other's backs. This worries Nupur, since Kacvinsky made another ally as easy as that. In economy class, the contestants were all still recovering from their falls and shocks. Justin complains that since technically both won, he should have gotten first class too. Caelan says to chill, causing the two to get in a brief verbal disagreement. Serena rolls her eyes, wondering how Caelan made it so far if he angers people so quickly. Lizzie and Emily are talking about how they need to pick one more person to have a strong three-person alliance within the big alliance. Emily suggests Kacvinsky, but Lizzie is worried that if they offer it to him, he will tell the others, or try to vote them off. Emily says he won't, but they still decide to wait and decide later. Sydney is talking to Serena, about how Ruchi got screwed over back in Australia. She has that partially accusing tone in her voice, but Serena is oblivious to it.

Chris lands the plane back at Wawanakwa. He says that they will be having an episode that is a tribute to Survivor, starting by splitting into two tribes for the day. He decides to go back to how it all began, with two captains picking teams, schoolyard style. The two captains are Kacvinsky and Myra, for being the two true winners of the last challenge. Myra chooses first, and picks Ian. Kacvinsky goes and picks Lizzie, and Myra picks Sydney. Kacvinsky picks Justin, and Myra picks Caelan, because he is the last guy pick. Kacvinsky then picks Emily, and Myra picks Nupur, leaving Serena with Kacvinsky. One tribe is deemed the Wawana tribe, and the other is deemed the Kwa tribe.

Wawana Tribe: Kacvinsky, Lizzie, Justin, Emily, Serena

Kwa Tribe: Myra, Ian, Sydney, Caelan, Nupur

Their challenge is a five leg relay race, with each teammate passing a baton to the next one. The first leg is a swim, that goes out a certain distance into Lake Wawanakwa, to grab a crate, then turn around and swim it back to shore, where the next leg is to have someone carry the crate along a short trail, to the next person. In the next leg, the person must break open the crate and figure out the puzzle, which will be a map. Once complete, they pass the baton to the next player, who must study the map, and use it to navigate a giant field of obstacles and retrieve a bag of coconuts. Once through, the last leg is the person must use the coconuts to break panels on a nine by nine board. Once they get three in a row, they win for their tribe.

Each tribe breaks into a huddle, to try and figure out who does which leg. Both teams try to figure out who is the strongest for the first leg, with the Kwa tribe deciding on Ian and the Wawana tribe deciding on Justin. Both are fairly strong swimmers as well. Next, is the short running leg, which is given to Emily for the Wawana tribe and Sydney for the Kwa tribe. The puzzle leg is decided next, and the Wawana tribe goes with Serena, while the Kwa tribe goes with Myra. The giant obstacle course is next, with Kacvinsky and Caelan competing for their respective tribes. That leaves Nupur and Lizzie to do the last leg, the panel challenge. Everyone goes to their posts, and Chris yells go.

Immediately, Ian and Justin begin swimming hard, but neither are great at swimming. They reach the crates at about the same time, with Ian beginning to gain a lead over Justin on the way back. Ian reaches the shore first, and Sydney runs down to help him take it out of the water. She grabs the baton, picks up the crate, and begins running along the path. Emily is encouraging Justin to go, but by the time he gets there the Kwa tribe has a healthy lead. Emily grabs the crate, the baton, and runs off onto the trail. Sydney reaches the puzzle area first, and her and Myra work on breaking open the crate. Myra's art skills prove to come in handy, as she quickly begins making progress on the puzzle. Once she is about the quarter of the way done, Emily arrives with the Wawana's crate. Her and Serena make quick work of the crate, and Serena immediately begins on the puzzle as well. The gap between the two tribe begins to shorten, as Myra gets stuck on one section of the puzzle. The two end up finishing at the same time, and begin yelling out instructions to Caelan and Kacvinsky. Serena's debate skills allow her to convey her directions better, putting Kacvinsky in the lead. As he is climbing through nets and up ladders, he grabs the bag of coconuts, and he looks around to see Caelan falling behind. He passes the baton and bag to Lizzie, and she begins pitching coconuts at the panels. On her first shot, she hits the center panel, but begins to struggle after that.

Lizzie hadn't hit any more panels by the time Caelan arrived with his bag and baton. Caelan passes them to Nupur, who begins tossing coconuts at the board as well. Nupur managed to have an advantage thanks to her softball abilities, and barely beats Lizzie in the challenge, sending the Wawana tribe to elimination.

At dinner, the main name up for elimination in the Wawana tribe is Serena, since Kacvinsky plans on voting that way with Emily and Lizzie. This changes, when Chris reveals that everyone will be voting still, not just the Wawana tribe. Emily and Lizzie sneak outside the cabin, and begin talking about adding Kacvinsky to their final three plan. Serena overhears them, and slips to Nupur, Sydney, and Ian that Kacvinsky, Emily and Lizzie are forming a final three plan. The three approach Kacvinsky, but Kacvinsky says he knows nothing about it. Only Sydney believes him, as Nupur and Ian are skeptical, due to past events. Kacvinsky tells them they have a plan to get rid of Serena, and to help him.

At the campfire ceremony, Chris walks out with a plate of nine marshmallows. He tosses the first five to the Kwa tribe, who all won immunity. Next, he tosses two marshmallows, one to Kacvinsky and one to Justin. Then he hands another to Lizzie, leaving Emily and Serena as the final two. Chris draws out a long dramatic pause, before handing the last marshmallow to...
