After Neil's blindside, Tom furiously told off Palesa, Josie, Vusi and Ace when they celebrated by the campfire. The morning after, Tom expressed his desire to get rid of Ace for flipping on the Big 5 alliance as soon as possible. At Mindanao, PK's paranoia of an all-woman's alliance led by Jeanne and Stacey-Lee was getting on the nerves of Tevin, leaving the two women feeling on the bottom when they felt that Marthunis should there instead.
