Beach Blast- Lava Style

Plot
The episode opens up with Team Victory in economy class. Lizzie decides it is time to share her idea that she came up with back in Greece, since some of her friends are seemingly at risk due to Caroline's "elimination list". She tells Caroline that her and Kacvinsky should team up and form a giant alliance so they truly become the dominant team due to having a unified front. It will also strengthen their numbers come a merge. Caroline thinks about it, and figures it will help keep her alliance safe, figure out the rest of Kacvinsky's alliance and even if Kacvinsky has the whole rest of the team, she would know now. This would also be good when they go into the merge. She agrees, and meets with Kacvinsky, and they talk about each of their alliances. Kacvinsky already knows Caroline's alliance, because of Camila's big reveal back at Easter Island, but he tells Caroline his alliance has Sydney, Cooper, Colin, Nupur and Channing. With both alliances combined, it gives the alliance ten members: Caroline, Kacvinsky, Nathan, Lizzie, Emily, Colin, Cooper, Nupur, Sydney, and Channing. This leaves three members of Team Victory out of the mega alliance, Ian, Zack, and Sam. They both agree that those three can be scapegoats if they face elimination, and basically gives them "three lives". Kacvinsky decides to agree, but for his friend Ian's safety, decides he is going to bring him into the alliance as well. After both agree, they go off to tell their respective alliances, and Kacvinsky tells Ian, and Ian joins Kacvinsky's alliance and in turn the mega alliance. In first class, Serena still feels paranoid about being eliminated, since there have been so many eliminations, so she decides to further protect herself by stirring up drama. She sneaks out to economy class and tells Riefy to meet her in the confessional, and tells her about the kiss between Jacob and Marisa. Riefy storms back into economy class and, making a scene, yells at Jacob. Jacob angrily stands up and turns to Marisa, who had walked in due to the commotion, asking why she told her, but she insists she didn't. The rest of Team Boss comes to watch as well, with Alex, Catherine and Kalee splitting a bag of popcorn. Riefy breaks up with him, and almost everyone is looking at Jacob and Marisa with disbelief. Riefy on the other hand, is devastated. Caelan is happy with Serena about this announcement, and believes he can use this to eliminate his biggest rival in the competition, Marisa. Both Team Boss and Team Firecrotch feel betrayed, and try to comfort Riefy. Team Victory, who had just unified, looks uncomfortable. Even Marisa's alliance mates are mad at her. Ashton tells Liz they have their next target. Riefy is steaming with anger, but at the same time is bursting with sadness, so she goes and sits down.

Chris, happy with the tension, arrives and announces that their next destination will be the beautiful Hawaii. All the members of Team Victory cheer, especially Caroline and Kacvinsky, with emotions still running high after forming the joint alliance, but the Team Boss members and Team Firecrotch members are still angry and remain silent. The members of Team Victory look on confused, as they are going to Hawaii, but the members of Team Boss and Firecrotch didn't seem to care. Chris decides that landing the plane is too boring, and pushes them out economy class door...again. They all land in the ocean by a beach on the main island of Hawaii.

The contestants swim to shore, and are all drenched. The Team Victory members are all laughing, and changing into their bathing suits, while the Team Firecrotch and Boss members are angrily changing into theirs. Chris says they will have a challenge during the day, a challenge at sunset, and a challenge at night. First though, he wants some musical accompaniment, and says they need to pick a popular song. The contestants sing Hey Soul Sister on the beach, and then the first challenge begins. The day challenge is a surfing challenge, and Chris needs three people to compete from each team.

Brittany (CONF): The beach? Oh yeah

Colin, Nupur and Zack compete for Team Victory, Caelan, JP, and Andy go for Team Boss, and Brandon, Ashton, and Riefy go for Team Firecrotch. Riefy and Caelan are both determined to throw the challenge for their respective teams, and Marisa and Jacob are both determined to win. In round one, it is Colin for Victory, Brandon for Firecrotch, and Andy for Boss. Brandon stays on the longest, but Colin does an amazing trick and lands, winning that round for Team Victory and getting three points. The next three are Nupur, Ashton, and JP. JP tries to do a trick but falls off, crashing into Ashton causing her to fall off as well, so the three points go to Nupur, again for Team Victory. Finally it is Riefy, against Zack, against Caelan. Much to Caelan's chagrin, he ends up winning once Riefy "falls" off, and Zack fails the same trick JP tried afterwards. That leaves the point totals as follows:

 Team Victory:  7

 Team Boss:  5

Team Firecrotch: 5

The evening challenge is next, and it is a dance off. Chris says he needs three people from each team, and they can be repeats if the team wants it to be. For Team Victory, Kacvinsky, Emily and Lizzie volunteer. For Team Boss, Andy, Kalee, and Nathanael. For Team Firecrotch, Nicole, Ruchi, and Liz. The teams begin dancing to the techno song, all differently. Kalee and Andy are doing tectonic dancing, while Kacvinsky and Emily dance off with Nathanael and Nicole. Chris turns the music off and declares that Team Victory and Team Boss tie, so they each get three points. Team Firecrotch comes in second and gets two. That leaves the point totals:

 Team Victory:  10

Team Boss:  8

 Team Firecrotch:  7

Chris announces the night challenge is a climb up the volcano that is worth double points for first place, so it could be anyone's game. Chris hands everyone rocks, each one with their name on it, and says they have to get to the top of the volcano and throw them in as sacrifices. He then says the first team to get their whole team up to the top of the volcano wins, with the last team facing elimination. Riefy smirks, and decides she isn't going to move, that way her team will have to lose. Jacob, frantic to save himself from elimination, tells Clayton to pick her up. Worried for his friend's safety, he does as he is asked and scoops the protesting Riefy into his arms. The teams all run and begin spiraling up the volcano. The path is lined with tiki torches, and the path is long, looping around and up the volcano.

After about twenty minutes of jogging, the contestants have made significant progress up the volcano. Colin, who is in the lead, halts to a stop, and waits for the others to catch up. A wide river of lava crosses their path, with rocks sporadically placed throughout. The contestants gape in disbelief, and begin hopping from one rock to another. Eventually, Kacvinsky is the first to cross and makes a run all the way to the top of the volcano and throws in his rock.

A montage shows Kalee jumping onto a rock and nearly falling into the lava, with Channing catching her despite being from a different team, Marisa backing to the edge of the rock she is on as lava spews up in front of her, Zack and Nathan sweating from the intense heat, and Sydney catching Nupur, both of them nearly falling into the river of lava. The rest of the contestants scramble to get to the top. Team Victory members seem to maintain a healthy lead, with Sam taking up the rear. He arrives at the top and triumphantly throws his rock in, securing Team Victory's win. They all cheer standing at the top of the volcano. Marisa manages to help Riefy break free of Clayton and run the other way, causing Clayton to have to turn and run after her. This causes Team Firecrotch to finish last, and Team Boss to finish second. Then, the volcano erupts and the contestants all have to sprint down the volcano.

At dinner, Team Firecrotch is debating between eliminating Riefy and Jacob. They ultimately decide it should be Jacob going home, because he broke her heart and was the reason she sabotaged the team. They decide that with him around, Riefy would continue to try and throw challenges. Ashton looks at the members of her alliance and nods, because Jacob was next on their list to eliminate anyways. Despite the general consensus he is going home, Jacob still stands up and defends himself, and after his speech it looks like some people want to keep him. Despite that, at the elimination ceremony, it is still fairly clear who is going home. Chris hands the barfbags out to Ashton, Liz, Ruchi, Katie, Brandon, Brittany, Clayton, Myra, Connor, and Nicole. The bottom two is Riefy and Jacob, and Jacob is the sixteenth contestant to be booted out of the game. He says he saw it coming, and tries to apologize to Riefy who is just ignoring him. He hangs his head, and tells everyone he'll miss playing the game, then takes the drop of shame.
