Aloha, Drama!

Plot
The episode opens with a giant military jet with Chris's face plastered on the side flying through the clear blue sky. It zooms into the floor-to-ceiling windows near the front of the plane, showing Townes staring out. He turns and walks inside, and the camera follows him to show Team Booty in first class as the contestants fly to their first destination challenge of the competition.

It is enormous.

Fiona (CONF): Ok ya girl could get used to this

Two sets of four luxury recliner chairs form two squares around giant floor-to-ceiling windows to the right of a mini bar on one side, with the other donning luxurious couches. A lot of open space in the middle exposes the comfortable golden carpet. Additionally, more floor-to-ceiling windows decorating the cabin provide a breathtaking view of the sky on both sides.

Milling about are interns with cookies and other nice things to make the flight enjoyable. Townes grabs a juice box off one of their plates, walks over to the mini bar and takes a seat on a stool next to Wilson and Kirk. They're talking strategy and Townes stays quiet, refraining from telling them about his immunity idol.

Townes (CONF): Yeah I'm not about to put a target on my back this early on

Helina, Ranjitha, Cleo and Fiona are in one of the sets of chairs, hysterically laughing at Helina telling a story about Ranjitha's "shit bathtub" experience.

Helina (CONF): *in hysterics* and then she scooped it from the toilet, into the bathtub *wipes away a tear*

Cleo (CONF): That house honestly felt like a different planet

Sammi, Archer, Leigh and Sofia occupy the other, the three girls telling Archer about the infamous "yurt" spring retreat. Leigh goes into depth about the kinky shower situation.

Leigh (CONF): *laughing then it begins to die down* Wait this isn't gonna be showed on air is it?

Grant sits on one of the couches and casually strums his guitar, humming ''"All That and More." ''Morgan lies upside-down next to him, reading a book and laughing at its contents. At their feet, Patrick, Yuri and Sam play "Go Fish." Sam looks around and smiles, excited to have returned to the game but even more excited to be in first class.

Sam (CONF): This is the life

The scene shifts to economy class, where the other three teams are uncomfortably settled. One hard, long, wooden bench lines each steel wall, with the only other things present being overhead bins and a big open space with hard metal flooring.

Alex (CONF): I forgot how much I hated this glorified trashcan

Alex sits with Zach, Rice and Hailey on the left bench, the four of them weighing the pros and cons of starting a CK alliance, having all been approached by Clay and Kathryn.

Rice (CONF): Yeah yeah strategy "blah blah blah" but the real question, do we have to sleep here?

Sierra and Frances, who overhear the conversation sitting a little further down, argue they should, and their numbers could combine when the teams merge.

Sierra (CONF): I mean come on this should be a no brainer

Unfortunately, Clayton also overhears their conversation, sitting on the bench across the way. He scans the room, watching Sibu toss and turn as she tries to nap on the bench, Sierra returning from the confessional, Karthik and Nico deep in conversation and Gianna mingling with some of the players from other teams. He even eyes Miller, chatting with Frances on the hard metal ground.

Clayton (CONF): Alright CK could have a very sizable voting block on Team Friendship

Concerned, he doesn’t know if he wants to continue working with Miller, Sierra, Nico and Sibu in his alliance in case the CK numbers do combine in the future. On the other hand, he doesn’t want to backstab them this early in the game, so decides Frances is a solid person to target next on Team Friendship because Karthik is better at challenges.

Clayton (CONF): It's only the third challenge why am I already so stressed

A little further down the bench Colby, Graham and Kirsten are in talks of starting their own alliance, but decide to wait to make anything official until they are actually sent to an elimination ceremony, completely unaware of the idea of a CK alliance floating around the team.

Chloe is also sitting on the hard metal ground with Clay, Nick, Beyla, Abbey, Kathryn, Phillippa, Suzanne and Izzy, who are talking about the intensity of the previous challenge. They are comparing their various weapons and how hard they were to use, and Phillippa comments on how hard it was to use her blow tube-thing because it was often hard to see. Beyla tells her it was impressive she managed to hit Alex through the smokescreen and Phillippa questions what she is talking about. Clay quickly diverts attention to where everyone thinks the next destination is going to be, causing Beyla to look at him suspiciously.

Alliance talk is left and right, stressing out those such as Myra, Eli and Ani who hadn’t really thought about it.

Myra (CONF): People are really hitting the ground running this season

Over the loud speaker, Chris beckons everyone into the cargo hold. Standing there is Team Booty, changed into their swimsuits. Garrett asks why they weren’t told to change into theirs, but Chris just smirks as he grabs onto a rope ladder and pulls a chord, opening the floor and releasing the contestants into the waters off the shore of Maui, the largest island in Hawaii.

Once they reach the shore, Ranjitha, Archer and Helina laugh as the other contestants change out of their wet clothes and into their bathing suits. Chris tells them the upcoming challenge will be a relay race through Hawaii, but instead of a baton, they are passing a torch that must remain lit. He points behind him unveiling a long, winding course, with giant fire pits stationed periodically should the fire be snuffed out.

Erica (CONF): Ok wow that course is...long

Chris goes on to explain the race. The first leg will be navigating through an obstacle course of water pipes that will be shooting intense blasts water in different directions. That is followed by walking across hot coals, then swimming out to a platform, then battling an intern with flaming batons and finally swimming back to shore as legs two through five. The sixth leg has them run up a large hill, with the seventh having them surf down the river that goes back down and feeds into the ocean. The eighth is running along a floating obstacle course in the water, followed by the ninth, which is another swim back to shore. The tenth is a blindfolded walk through a geyser field with the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth being a long distance run up a path spiraling around the giant, active volcano. The fourteenth is rock-climb to the top, and the fifteenth is a surprise awaiting them at the top.

He tells them Team Glory and Team Booty will each have a member sitting out of the upcoming challenge, as there are only fifteen legs of the race. Sammi offers to sit out for Team Booty, as does Eli for Team Glory.

They have five minutes to strategize and assign who is doing what, and decide the legs will be as followed:

 Leg 1 (Pipes):  Nico, Izzy , Vani and Cleo 

 Leg 2 (Coals):  Karthik, Rice , Phillippa and Wilson 

 Leg 3 (Swim):  Gianna, Chloe , Rourke and Helina 

 Leg 4 (Spar):  Duma, Graham , Garrett and Grant 

 Leg 5 (Swim):  Ryan, Kirsten , Mary and Leigh 

 Leg 6 (Hill):  Annie, Dani , Matt and Patrick 

 Leg 7 (Surf):  Sibu, Alex , Abbey and Townes 

 Leg 8 (Obstacle):  Yunah, Colby , Erica and Yuri 

 Leg 9 (Swim):  Frances, Beyla , Ani and Sofia 

 Leg 10 (Geyser):  Myra, Kathryn , Zack and Ranjitha 

 Leg 11 (Run):  Kelsey, Clay , Suzanne and Archer 

 Leg 12 (Run):  Dan, Nick , Hank and Morgan 

 Leg 13 (Run): <font color="mediumpurple"> Clayton, Hailey , Duncan and Sam 

 Leg 14 (Climb): <font color="mediumpurple"> Sierra, Zach , Paige and Kirk 

 Leg 15 (Surprise): <font color="mediumpurple"> Miller, Lauren , Brian and Fiona 

The teams huddle up and try to hype themselves up.

Sam (CONF): Ok last time I was here the volcano erupted...*stares at the camera*...are we just going to ignore that?

<font color="mediumpurple">Yunah (CONF): Is Chris seriously making us climb an active volcano? For our third challenge?

Eli and Sammi are cheering loudly for their respective teams as Nico, Izzy, Vani and Cleo line up at the starting line. They all dip their torches in the fire pit and watch as the tips burst into flames. Chris reminds them that any time the fire is snuffed out for any reason, they have to return to the previous fire pit. Cleo sweats nervously as Izzy analyzes what she thinks is the best path. Nico stretches and Vani closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, ready to get things going. Chris counts down, and when he yells "Go!" the four immediately burst onto the course.

Nico is off to a great start, narrowly rolling under two blasts of water, when a hidden horizontal pipe catches him off guard and extinguishes his flame. He has to turn around and go back causing Vani to laugh and jokingly talk shit, but the distraction causes her torch to be snuffed too so she also has to return to the starting line. Izzy and Cleo begin to pull ahead, dodging over and under pipes, but once the two make it toward the end they accidentally bump into one another and drop their torches face-down into the sand, forcing them to restart.

A montage follows of Vani ducking but a diagonal burst of water nailing her torch, Nico trying to hurdle over a pipe but his getting snuffed, Cleo rolling under one but her torch hitting the sand and snuffing out, and Izzy dodging left and right before getting hit by a blast of water right at the end.

Izzy (CONF): Ok this is getting somewhat irritating

Izzy is the first to make it through, handing her torch off to Rice who looks nervously at the hot coals. Eli is cheering him on, telling him to take advantage of his lead. Rice swallows hard and by the time he works up the courage to start, Nico and Vani have passed their torches off to Karthik and Phillippa respectively. This encourages him to start the walk. He tries to take it slow, but the moment his foot touches the coal he dead sprints to the end, screaming at the top of his lungs. Once he reaches the end he frantically passes the torch off to Chloe who dives in the water and takes off.

Chloe (CONF): I'm gonna be honest, I'm not particularly thrilled about this swimming portion

Cleo finally finishes the first leg, passing the torch to Wilson who confidently passes a frozen Phillippa and Karthik and bounds across the coals, yelling in pain the whole way, then quickly passes the torch to Helina who takes off after Chloe.

Wilson (CONF): You just have to not think about it

Karthik and Phillippa look at each other puzzled, then tackle the course at the same time. Soon enough, Rourke and Gianna are in the water for Waka and Friendship respectively.

Chloe struggles to doggy paddle fast enough, allowing Helina to quickly overtake her with a robotic freestyle. She is the first to finish, passing the torch to Grant who immediately begins the fire-dance battle with the intern. Grant swings hard but misses, giving the intern the opportunity to knock his torch into the water. Helina, extremely annoyed, has to swim back to re-light it as Chloe, Rourke and Gianna arrive simultaneously, passing their batons to Graham, Garrett and Duma.

Grant (CONF): Oops

A split screen shows Duma, Garrett and Graham with smirks on their faces and spinning their flaming batons, ready to square off with the interns. Graham and Garrett decide it would be a better idea to work together, with both double-teaming their interns back to back and knocking them into the water, passing the torches off to Kirsten and Mary and putting Team Glory and Team Waka in the lead.

Duma, annoyed he is struggling with the challenge yet again, is having difficulty as he exchanges blows with a particularly burly intern in a comically small Hawaiian skirt and coconut bra. He gets tiny hit in when the dude slams him to the edge, Duma barely staying on the platform.

<font color="mediumpurple">Dan (CONF): Yeah I wouldn't say Duma is the strongest competitor on our team

Kirsten, an excellent swimmer, easily out-swims Mary, putting Glory in back in the lead as Dani starts sprinting up the cliff.

Another exchange of blows and Duma finally knocks his guy off the platform as Helina returns giving Grant the chance to start again.

<font color="mediumpurple">Duma (CONF): I am just so sick of being viewed as the weak link

Grant, adrenaline pumping, takes the guy out in one fell swoop, allowing Leigh to start right as Ryan does.

By the time Dani is halfway up the hill, Mary has passed the baton off Matt, encouraging him to catch up to Dani and close the gap between Waka and Glory.

Matt (CONF): I'm thinking I can definitely make up some time here

Leigh, another excellent swimmer, makes up a lot of time for Team Booty in the swim then quickly passes the baton to Patrick only a few minutes after Mary. Patrick takes off up the hill. Ryan however, is falling behind, upsetting Team Friendship for being in last yet again. Ryan finally gets his baton to Annie as Dani and Matt, a runner, reach the top of the hill around the same time. Alex and Abbey lock eyes as they grab surfboards, run toward the edge of the cliff over the river and jump into the rapids.

Abbey (CONF): Oh please I'm excellent at everything, this should be a breeze

Patrick also makes up time for Team Booty, giving Townes the chance to catch up to Abbey and Alex on the surfing portion and further widening the gap between Team Booty and Team Friendship. The three are neck and neck, locking eyes and avoiding various obstacles (and a few flaming coals coming from the volcano?) as they reach the finish line at around the same time. Sibu is yelling as Annie finally makes it to the top, making up some time but not enough to make up for Team Friendship’s huge deficit.

<font color="mediumpurple">Sibu (CONF): Yeah no Annie take your time it's not like we're in a race or anything

Alex passes the torch to Colby first, with the two locking eyes and nodding as Colby heads on to the obstacle course. Erica and Yuri aren’t far behind.

A montage shows Colby climbing up an inflatable slide, Erica nearly tripping when she jumps on a loose floatation device and Yuri wobble as he inches across a narrow wooden balance beam.

Yuri (CONF): This wouldn't be the first time a skinny wooden beam has let me down

They are nearly done as Sibu passes the torch to Yunah, who tries to catch up. Just as things look hopeless, Yuri takes a huge fall sending a pulse through the course that wipes out Colby and Erica. All three plummet into the water, meaning they all have to swim back to the beginning of the obstacle course to relight their torch. Contestants of all three teams who had already ran their legs groan as they watch from the shore.

Leigh (CONF): *annoyed* At least we know who to vote off should we lose today

By the time the three restart the course, Yunah is already halfway done, crossing balance beams and jumping over obstacles. She rides the confidence, finishing first and giving Frances the chance to further the lead in the next swimming portion.

<font color="mediumpurple">Yunah (CONF): That was low key kind of fun?

A second montage shows Erica struggling to maintain her balance across a balance beam, Yuri climbing up one half of a slide and Colby sliding down the other. The three finish around the same time, sending Ani, Beyla and Sofia into the water.

The three all seem to be catching up to Frances, which freaks her out. She turns around and splashes Beyla and Sofia, snuffing their torches out.

Sofia (CONF): Frances what the fuck

The two look hurt, and the time it takes to relight their torches puts them in last. Ani overtakes Frances during the commotion, giving Zack the lead entering the tenth leg. She blindfolds him, and does her best to vocally guide him through the geyser field. Frances does the same with Myra shortly after. Frances, noticing Zack struggle, yells left, which startles him into listening to her instead of Ani and sends him right into a geyser. Ani turns and angrily cusses her out as Zack frantically returns to light his torch, his blindfold around his neck.

Ani (CONF): Oh ok so that's how we're gonna play it? Bring it on

Beyla and Sofia finally make it and begin relaying instructions to Kathryn and Ranjitha, hoping to overtake Myra. Frances yells for Kathryn to incorrectly make a sharp right, but thankfully for Glory, Beyla corrects it just in time, shooting Frances a dirty look.

A montage shows Myra hesitantly sidestep a geyser, a blast narrowly missing Zack, Ranjitha moving extremely cautiously and Kathryn calling out to Beyla for the next instruction. All four finish around the same time, evening up the playing field going into the eleventh leg.

Kathryn gets the slight edge, sending Clay onto the course first. Myra is next handing hers to Kelsey, then Zack to Suzanne and finally Ranjitha to Archer.

Zack (CONF): That was just so incredibly dangerous. I feel like Chris needs some…psych evaluation

The sun begins to set, turning the sky a beautiful mixture of orange and pink. Clay stays in the lead, sweating as he keeps a steady pace. Kelsey is right behind him, trying to stay ahead of Archer who had passed Suzanne and is closing the gap. Suzanne fights to stay in the challenge, doing a good job of not letting the other three get too far ahead of her.

Those who had completed their legs, along with Eli and Sammi, are running alongside their teammates, cheering them on when they suddenly all come across a river of lava. There is a bridge marked for those not on the leg to cross, but for Kelsey, Suzanne, Archer and Clay there are tons of stone pedestals scattered throughout the lava. Hanging above each one is a miscellaneous item ranging from a piano to a bucket of water, all of which are connected to a complex rope system on the other side. Also on the other side are four machetes.

Wilson immediately takes initiative, grabbing a machete and chopping a rope, causing a boulder to nearly slam on Suzanne. Cleo frantically asks which rope goes to which object, but Chris chuckles and says it's more fun if they don't know.

Cleo (CONF): It's been what, two episodes, and Chris is already the worst

The other contestants follow Wilson's lead and begin wrestling for the machetes as the four jump from pedestal to pedestal. Ryan cuts a rope causing a pale of water to land on Kelsey, causing her to groan and turn around to relight her torch. Clay is first to cross, narrowly dodging a small boulder courtesy of Leigh, and passes the Glory torch off to Nick who takes off in a run.

Nick (CONF): After staying in that nasty economy class, I want first place so bad

Patrick slices a rope that lands a cage on Suzanne, temporarily incapacitating her. Nervous as Archer and Kelsey approach, she slams herself against the cage, which knocks it over and frees her, also serving as a bridge over the last couple pedestals. She ends up arriving around the same time as Archer and Kelsey. Hank (for Waka), Dan (for Friendship) and Morgan (for Booty) take off at around the same time, hoping to make up ground and catch up with Nick.

Morgan (CONF): I don't want to touch that elimination ceremony with a ten-foot pole

A montage shows the contestants sweating as they try to support their teammates. Nick has a sizable lead, but Dan and Morgan are starting to gain on him. Hank, like Suzanne, is having a harder time, but not falling out of the challenge. The camera zooms out to capture the beautiful evening sky, with the four running specks on a huge path with a ton of volcano to go. It then pans to Nick sweating, Dan pulling a little bit ahead of Morgan, Morgan stopping to catch her breath, and Hank tripping but managing to keep his torch lit.

A four-corner split screen shows Nick handing his torch to Hailey and her taking off in a sprint, followed by Dan passing his to Clayton, Morgan to Sam and Hank to Duncan, leaving Team Waka in last place.

Duncan (CONF): A second elimination ceremony in a row this early in the game is definitely not ideal

Clayton does a good job keeping pace with Hailey, but she manages to maintain a lead. An out of shape Sam slows down, allowing Duncan to catch up to him, but regardless all four are within view of each other as they spiral up the path to the top of the volcano.

The sun has entirely set by this point, with torches lining the path providing the only means of light. The scene flashes to Hailey looking over her shoulder, monitoring the location of her competition, Clayton breathing heavily, Duncan slightly ahead of Sam, and Sam working double-time to try and get his position back.

Hailey (CONF): This is why we're here ain't it? It's go time baby

Hailey yells "Go!" as she practically throws the torch at Zach. His facial expression intensifies as he begins the climb to the top of the volcano. He is making great time, already halfway up the cliff, before Clayton arrives to pass his baton off to Sierra. Right behind him are Duncan and Sam, handing theirs off to Paige and Kirk respectively. Sierra, following Frances' lead, turns her attention to messing with Paige and Kirk, in an attempt to keep Friendship out of last place. Nico and Gianna yell to stay focused, but unfortunately the distraction sends her off the side of the wall, forcing her to restart. Kirk kicks it into overdrive, but Paige has a slight lead, the two both motivated by Sierra's misstep.

Kirk (CONF): Honestly I don't feel bad Sierra that was shady

Zach arrives first at the top of the cliff, handing his torch off to the last leg - Lauren. She turns around to see Caelan standing there with Chris, grinning. Chris introduces them to their first visit from a veteran - Caelan, and explains that this part will require the teams to steal one of Caelan’s sticks with a marshmallow, catch it on fire with their torch, and toss it into the volcano. Last one to do so will be sent to elimination.

Lauren (CONF): Ok he made it to the finale last season and now I have to outplay him in a challenge?

The playing field is only lit by the lava creeping toward the top of the volcano. The rest of the contestants stand behind Chris, anxiously awaiting the results of the challenge (and whether or not the volcano is going to erupt with them still on it).

Suddenly, Paige's hand appears as she grips the edge of the top and heaves her body onto the rock. She jumps up and passes her torch off to Brian who immediately takes off after Caelan. Kirk arrives shortly after, allowing Fiona to enter the mix too. Lauren, Fiona and Brian are running and weaving through each other as Caelan dodges them left and right.

Brian (CONF): Ok this man is fast

Miller begins nervously sweating as he watches the three chase Caelan around the top of the volcano. Graham shouts to Lauren, Fiona and Brian that they should work together to stay out of last place, earning him a dirty look from a nearby Dan, Sibu and Clayton. They nod, and the three corner Caelan together, with Lauren successfully snatching a marshmallow, setting it on fire and hurling it into the volcano. Alex scoops Nick up, Clay throws his hands in the air, Chloe and Kathryn hug and jump up and down, and Graham, Kirsten, Colby, Zach and Rice scream as Team Victory goes crazy celebrating their win. As the shouting and cheering continues, Clay runs and tackle Chloe, Izzy, Hailey and Kathryn, Nick and Dani high-five, and Beyla goes to hug Eli who happily returns it, telling his team they did a good job at this challenge and wishes he could have helped.

Graham’s strategy pays off for the other two teams as well, as Brian and Fiona quickly retrieve their marshmallows too, with Fiona getting hers in the volcano first giving Team Booty second and Team Waka third.

Fiona (CONF): That was exhilerating

Which means Team Friendship is sent back to elimination, angering all of them as the other three teams celebrate in the background. By the time Sierra gets to the top, she curses and throws the torch down, angry at herself for trying to mess with Kirk and Paige.

Alex, Sam and Myra go over to hug their fellow former contestant Caelan and begin chatting, as the scene flashes to everyone on the beach having a huge luau in preparation for the real party after the season's first ever barfbag ceremony.

The members of Team Friendship are deep in discussion about who to eliminate, with Clayton discussing with his allies that it should be someone that has links to the other teams, hinting at wanting to eliminate Karthik, Sierra or preferably Frances for their ties to CK. He doesn't explicitly say so though, to ensure that Nico and Sibu stay with him for the time being. Nico mentions that Sierra pretty much cost them the challenge, and Miller agrees, but Clayton retaliates saying Sierra is a more helpful physical asset.

<font color="mediumpurple">Clayton (CONF): Plus, Sierra is way more likely to work with me than Frances

Sierra is sitting with Frances and Gianna, and the girls say they should focus on taking out someone like Ryan who can be a liability in challenges. Frances and Gianna tell her she needs to watch her back, but Sierra thinks she'll be ok.

<font color="mediumpurple">Sierra (CONF): No way they take me out this early

The team converges at the big table in the plane cafeteria for a team meeting, and they begin discussing as a whole who they think should take the first Drop of Shame. Sibu hesitantly mentions that Sierra cost them the challenge and so it makes sense to vote her out. An infuriated Sierra quickly retaliates, saying Ryan almost cost them the challenge too when he snuffed Kelsey’s torch on the lava river and struggled in the swimming portion, but his mess-ups just happened earlier.

<font color="mediumpurple">Ryan (CONF): Ok woah, that was uncalled for

Myra chimes in the Duma also had a weak performance in the challenge for the third time in a row, causing Frances to point at Myra in agreement. Karthik defends him, saying his slip up barely cost them any time unlike Ryan's did. Duma stays quiet, as Sierra and Ryan are both his friends and he still feels bad about throwing Connor under the bus.

Annie, Dan, Yunah, Nico and Kelsey survey the options, watching Sierra eloquently target Ryan, Ryan heated in his responses and Duma trying to lay low. Annie and Yunah lock eyes, Yunah trying to see where she's at, when Chris summons them to the beach for the first ever barfbag ceremony.

~*ELIMINATION CEREMONY*~

Chris calls for Team Friendship to surround a fire and tells them to go into the confessional and stamp the passport of the contestant they want eliminated.

<font color="mediumpurple">Yunah (CONF): This is for causing a scene about the damn beds *stamps Sierra’s passport*

<font color="mediumpurple">Frances (CONF): You need to step it up *stamps Duma’s passport*

<font color="mediumpurple">Annie (CONF): Ok you really do seem cool but you pretty much cost us the challenge today *stamps Ryan’s passport*

<font color="mediumpurple">Sierra (CONF): You literally cost us the challenge, I feel like this choice is obvious *stamps Ryan’s passport*

<font color="mediumpurple">Ryan (CONF): I'm not sure I appreciate being targeted like that? *stamps Sierra's passport*

A montage shows Myra, Dan, Karthik, Sibu, Clayton, Nico and Kelsey all stamping passports. Chris arrives with a plate full of barfbags filled with airline-issued peanuts, saying these are the symbols of safety for the elimination ceremonies after destination challenges, as they know - barfbag ceremonies. He says they will normally take place on the Jumbo Jet, but he loves Hawaii so much he's making an exception. He begins the name calling process.

Miller. Clayton. Kelsey. Karthik.

Clayton sighs with relief and daps up Karthik. Miller goes to hug Kelsey but the two still don’t know each other super well so they settle for an awkward handshake.

<font color="mediumpurple">Kelsey (CONF): I don't think I fully appreciated the rush of being called safe at elimination last time

Sibu. Gianna. Frances.

The three girls yell with joy and hug.

Myra. Annie. Yunah. Dan. Nico.

Yunah throws her fist in the air, as Myra is hugged by Gianna, Annie smirks at Miller, and Dan and Nico fist-bump. This leaves just Duma, Ryan and Sierra, announcing that all three had received votes but one is definitely not going home...

Ryan.

Ryan sighs loudly with relief, and both Duma and Sierra look confused. The final barf bag goes to…

...

...

...

Duma, again.

Sierra, Karthik and Frances look shocked, with Nico and Sibu trying to avoid eye contact. She looks pissed, eying down her teammates to try and unearth who's responsible. The silence is deafening, before Chris chimes in and tells the group it would normally be time to take the Drop of Shame out of the plane right about now, but because they had this elimination ceremony on the beach, Chef is going to symbolically carry Sierra off into the distance.

Chef Hatchet grins, scoops her up in a burlap sack and takes Sierra out of the competition.

<font color="mediumpurple">Sierra (CONF): I guess they weren’t wrong about me fucking with Kirk and Paige and falling off the cliff, but it just sucks so bad that I’m out so early because this game is so fun...damn it I’m just so pissed

*flashback to Sierra being knocked off the cliff by Connor and Dan, celebrating with Nico when she was safe at the first campfire ceremony, getting hit by Zack's paint grenade, fighting with Yunah over bunks and falling off while rock-climbing with the torch*

At the luau party, Clay, Kathryn and Beyla look alarmed when Sierra wasn't among the Team Friendship members to return, nervous that right after she and Frances had told them to do the CK alliance she got voted out. Alex, Leigh, Patrick and Chloe among others looked surprised as well.

Chloe (CONF): Wow ok I really thought it was Duma that was going to be eliminated tonight, at least that’s what Kelsey told me. I wonder if she genuinely didn't know or was lying?

Clay (CONF): Ok do Rice and Alex see what I was talking about now?

The party begins, with everyone filling in Caelan on the season and having a good time on the beach.

Abbey is on Dan’s shoulders, Ani is on Rice’s and Sam is on Karthik’s and they are chicken fighting in the ocean. Morgan hops on Sofia's shoulders and they rush into battle, as do Hank and Gianna. Chloe, Izzy, Leigh and Suzanne wade in the water nearby, laughing and cheering the people on. Eventually, Dan yells out a challenge to the girls, and Izzy hops on Suzanne's shoulders as Chloe does the same with Leigh.

Sibu, Phillipa, Cleo, Rourke, Kelsey and Annie have overtaken the dance floor, cups in hand. Myra, Kirsten, Colby and Mary are building a sand castle, with everyone laughing as a huge wave wipes it out (although Colby let out a few choice words about having to restart).

Caelan finishes teaching Grant, Clay, Brian, Townes and Zach how to surf, before the six bolt into the water and start to take the waves, the chicken-fighting making a game out of not getting slammed into. Leigh laughs as Clay's board rams into her, knocking them both into the water.

Alex, Clayton, Nick, Kirk, Helina, Vani, Garrett and Wilson are playing three-shot, with Helina gleefully pouring the shots and Alex insistent this isn't a game and is instead pure torture. It also shows Kirk nearly puking it back up and Vani jokingly punching Garrett in the arm after he secretly pours out the third shot instead of taking it with everyone.

Erica, Lauren, Yuri, Ryan, Archer, Kathryn, Fiona, Ranjitha, Yunah and Hailey are around the fire telling stories. Yunah talks about her first time doing molly, to an astounded Erica and Hailey. Lauren and Ryan talk about two of their weird friends who were recently engaged, with Kathryn, Archer, Fiona and Archer laughing along. Ranjitha sits in the corner making fart noises with her armpits and chuckling at herself, with Yunah noticing and running over and shoving her to the ground. The scene zooms out as a cool remix begins to play over the loud boombox and everyone floods the dance floor.

Quick cuts show various contestants in the middle of the circle, with Chloe dropping it, Nico hitting a whip, Hailey and Kathryn square dancing, Brian vogue-ing, Garrett lifting Alex into the air, and finally Helina, after insisting she can't, hitting a big drop to wild cheers before the camera zooms out of the party and the scene fades to black.
