Story[]

Night 5[]

Moments after being voted out from Ometepe, Matt Elrod heads Redemption Island, where he finds Francesca sleeping in her hut. Matt wakes Francesca, who is shocked upon learning that Rob had cannibalized his own alliance member, and she wonders why her nemesis Phillip had not been voted out. Minutes after being blindsided by Rob, Matt vents: "There's a little anger. I don't know, I guess I just trusted Boston [Rob] too soon." But still keeping his spirits up, he concludes: "What an opportunity to become the underdog and come back from Redemption Island and finish this game with a million dollars."

As the Ometepe heads to sleep, Rob lauds himself for orchestrating Matt's blindside. Rob then thanks Phillip for his help at the last vote and invites him to replace Matt in his alliance. Meanwhile, Rob is worried about Andrea's feelings after eliminating Matt, and is eager not to make her feel vulnerable.
