Top 5 Moments of Episode 13:
1. Return to camp: With Caroline Vidmar gone, Sue Smey was alone for the very first time and Andy was thrilled. “If you two cut me at five, I will puke” is pretty good incentive to keep him around, really. Christine “Teeny” Chirichillo was fuming, and had plenty to say for a contestant that has only begun playing the game in the last few episodes. Rachel LaMont spied to get information, hearing that she was in major trouble and that Genevieve had an idol. Rachel then told Sue about her idol, which formed a closer alliance between the two.
2. Andy’s downfall: In the night’s first immunity challenge, Genevieve wiped the floor with everyone on the puzzle and opted to take Sue and Teeny with her to the Sanctuary. Back at the beach, Sam Phalen, Andy, and Rachel shared an emotional moment, even though Rachel targeted Sam as soon as he walked away. Rachel then appealed to Andy to alter the balance of power, but his ego made her question whether or not she could trust him. Chaos ensued at the first Tribal Council as Andy admitted to flipping last wee and Sam had his vote blocked. Rachel played her idol, sending Andy to the jury, much to Caroline’s delight.

3. Rachel’s victory lap: Rachel took an incredible victory lap at camp as Sam looked more dejected than ever. Genevieve doubled down on her fake idol, hoping to stay out of the crosshairs. The hunt for a real idol ensued as huge targets were on their backs.
4. Immunity challenge No. 2: Winning immunity at this point meant a spot in the final four, so no pressure, right? Rachel emerged victorious and her fellow castaways all seemed proud of her — even Genevieve! All hail the new challenge beast!
5. Another one bites the dust: Sam knew he was the most likely to be voted out, so he opted to spill the beans about Genevieve’s fake idol to Teeny. Now the opportunity to get Genevieve out of the game was more solid than ever! But could Teeny get her revenge? Sue and Rachel were hesitant to believe this bit of good news, so Teeny chose to confront the target herself, ratting out Sam in the process. Upon confirmation, the three women were still conflicted. At the night’s second Tribal Council, Sam fought for his spot in the game as confidently as possible. After Sue played an idol for herself, Genevieve was voted out. With two seemingly open votes on the jury, this season truly is anyone’s game.
