Story

Day 20

After Taylor's elimination, Maple felt relieved that his plan to eliminate Taylor worked, and both him and Arlie felt like they could trust Zoey and Felipe. Both Aaron & Dior who voted for Maple with Taylor felt blindsided and betrayed by Zoey & Felipe. Aaron tried to take this as a chance to have fun since he had never voted in the minority and survived until now. Dior felt frustrated about Taylor's elimination and that his chances of making the merge for the first time were going to be dashed after he worked so hard to keep himself and his supposed allies safe. After the Tribal Council, the new challenge - Category Blitz was announced! In this challenge, 6 members of each tribe had to list as many items in 3 specific categories in separate 1-minute periods. The all-new-player Pukara tribe chose to sit out Gameend for the challenge while the returnee Iñakuyo tribe could not sit anyone out.

Day 21

Pukara performed well in the challenge with strong efforts by Jack, Grady, and Amanda. Arlie scored the highest among the entire cast but it was not enough as Iñakuyo went to Tribal for the third consecutive time.

After the challenge, the Iñakuyo tribe felt very depressed since they had to vote out someone again. Looking for an easy vote, Maple went to work again trying to pin a target on Dior who hadn't established as strong of bonds with everyone else on the tribe as much as Aaron had. Dior, fearing that his name was on the chopping block after he had been ignored by Arlie and others, tried working with anyone and everyone on his tribe, willing to throw out any name. That effort to save himself had the opposite intended effect as his tribemates felt like they couldn't trust him going into a potential merge situation in the near future. At Tribal Council, continually frustrated with the ignoring, Dior voted for Arlie while the rest of the tribe unanimously voted for Dior, including Aaron, Dior's close ally, and fellow Saints vs. Sinners castmate. Since Dior became the 10th member of the Fallen, Dior chose to give his 2 Incan Sun Coins to Aaron, giving Aaron 4 overall and halfway to an idol. Dior also chose to give Aaron the Mutiny Isle Pirate Key, an advantage that gave Aaron the chance to save himself at a future merge tribal. Aaron chose to save himself at the first merge tribal with the Pirate Key should he be voted out.
