Having let everyone know he was a “Survivor professor” throughout their time on the island, Max talked himself right out of the game and was eliminated in Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 5. Being creepy and naked didn’t help him any.
Shirin thought she was in control of the game. Right up until the vote. Now she’s pretty sure she is all alone, but at least now she realizes that the correct strategy is not going to be being creepy and naked, too.
At the reward challenge, they will race up a tower and then launch sandbags at targets. Reward is food while watching a turtle migration. Dan sits out for Escameca. The physical part of the challenge starts off as can be expected with Escameca taking an early lead. Nagarote takes out the first target, but that advantage does not last for very long. After trailing, however, they make a comeback and win 6-5.
Sierra hates her old tribe again/still. So she connects with Joaquin, who lets her know she’s going to have to suck up to his new bromance Rodney. With Tyler, that gives them a foursome. She’s backed herself into the corner to a point where she doesn’t have a choice.
Rodney tells Mike about his plan. He wants to throw immunity so that they can get rid of Joe. This may also help to save Kelly, the lone Blue Collar member on the other side. Little do they know she’s not even a target.
This immunity challenge is a memory challenge in which they have to remember a series of objects in order. Any physical advantage is irrelevant here. Carolyn scores a point against Rodney. Hali takes the 2-0 lead against Sierra. Joe makes it 2-1 against Will. Dan ties it at 2 against Shirin. Mike and Kelly are both wrong. Then he tells her he’s throwing it, but she still can’t win. They reset back to 5 items instead of 6. Why is he being so blatant about helping her, not just throwing it but actually telling her what to do? In the end, Nagarote wins immunity as he had planned.
Now that he’s done as Rodney instructed, Mike has decided that he’s starting to not trust Rodney any more. He approaches Sierra to target Joaquin, who she said earlier she trusts most, seeing as they have been together for like a day.

With 4 votes, Joaquin has been voted off the island. Even after all that complaining about them that continued throughout Tribal Council, Sierra decided to return to her original tribe. I’m not sure that was the right move or the wrong move for her or, for that matter, if she even had a right move. As hot headed as Rodney is, if their goal was to split them up, he may have been the better vote.
