The Amazon Heats Up is the penultimate episode of Survivor: The Amazon.

Story[]

Night 33[]

After Christy's blindside, the men have a 3-2 numbers advantage over the women, leaving the women in danger.

Day 34[]

While the contestants are at the Reward Challenge the firewood that Butch Lockley had collected caught alight and set the camp on fire, destroying the shelter and everybody but Heidi Strobel's personal items. Matthew von Ertfelda wins the reward, which is a new car and a barbecue. He chooses to bring Rob Cesternino along to the barbecue since the two are close allies. Matthew attempted to bring along Jenna Morasca, Butch, and Heidi along as well, but Jeff Probst told the latter three to get out of the car. After returning from the challenge the whole tribe is shocked to see the camp has been burnt down. Heidi feels guilty due to the fact that her personal items were not destroyed while everyone else has nothing left.

Day 35[]

Day 36[]

In a long and grueling challenge, Matthew wins immunity. After the challenge, back at camp, Jenna breaks down due to feeling unwell due to tonsillitis and other things. Heidi uses this to push for Jenna's elimination as she knows that it's either her or Jenna going home. Rob then comments that Jenna's miserable attitude isn't something the group wants to be around and she is, essentially, putting her head on the chopping block.

At Tribal Council, Heidi makes a point of telling the tribe that she has played the game hard and has been the mastermind of half the plans that have happened. When the votes came, they were split along gender lines, and Heidi was voted out by the men 3-2, with Heidi and Jenna voting for Rob. 

Challenges[]

Challenge: Try Again
The contestants must untie a series of knots to open a gate, flip over seven puzzle pieces and arrange them to form a traditional image, rope swing across a gully, decode a wheel puzzle, grab the corresponding key, unlock a flying fox, and slide down to retrieve the final key.
Reward: A brand-new Saturn Ion, along with a tailgate barbecue lunch
Winner: Matthew von Ertfelda (shared with Rob Cesternino)

Challenge: Out on a Limb
Castaways must maneuver through a ropes course. There are five obstacles – a rope tunnel, rope swing, disc walk, swing steps, and a V tunnel – each heading outwards from the center. They must retrieve a colored feather at each and hang it around the center pole. The first to hang all five around the center pole wins.
Winner: Matthew von Ertfelda

S6 matthew t
Matthew
(voting against Heidi) She's a great girl, but she tried to screw me and vote me out a couple days ago. She deserves to be voted out based on her desire to plot against me and throw me out of the game. So, I am going to miss her, she's a great girl, but I have no choice.
S6 jenna t
Jenna
(voting against Rob) I'm voting for you, Rob, because you stabbed our alliance in the back, and screwed me and other people who would have made it to the final four.
S6 butch t
Butch
(voting against Heidi) Heidi, you're a great girl. This vote is not personally to do with you. It deals with alliances, strategy and loyalty. Good luck.
S6 heidi t
Heidi
(voting against Rob) Rob, I'm voting for you tonight just because if it wasn't for your break of alliance, I would have made it to the final three. But, no hard feelings. I know you played the game tough and hard. Good luck to you.
S6 rob t
Rob
(voting against Heidi) Two girls. One brain. Divide by two. Only one halfwit left.

Final Words[]

S6 heidi bw
Heidi
What an awesome time. What an awesome adventure. I have got a lot of heart, a lot of soul, a lot of pride and I stop at nothing. Jenna, I am your number one fan. Without you, I could not have made it this far in this game. I am so excited to be part of the jury and I hope to be seeing you in a couple of days.
