Charlie won the prize challenge at the beginning of the episode, earning a Chinese feast and letters from a loved one back home. Host Jeff Probst then told him he could pick two of the remaining five players to join him.

Stressed by the weight of the decision, he chose not to choose his closest ally, choosing to bring Liz and Kenzie along for very different reasons.

Charlie chose Liz because she hadn’t eaten or pooped in over 20 days since she was shipwrecked in Fiji. “There are people in this game who aren’t rooting for you, but there are people at home who are,” Liz said in the confessional after reading her daughter’s letter.

Charlie competes in the prize challenge on May 15th.

Charlie brought Kenzie along because he wanted her to read a letter from her fiancé who Kenzie was supposed to marry “yesterday” but he moved their wedding so she could compete Survived.

Meanwhile, Charlie received a letter from his girlfriend, who reminded him that she, his mom, and dad wanted him to be the winner in the end.

“Everyone told me to play to win. If I’m going to play to win, that means I’ll have to betray Maria,” Charlie admitted in the confessional.

At the awards banquet, Charlie, Liz and Kenzie agree that they want to kick Maria out because she is “unstoppable”. And she was unstoppable.

Later, Maria won the challenge, claiming her third individual victory of the season and guaranteeing a place in the final. “It went from a contest to a bust,” Probst said after Maria’s win.

With their plan thwarted, the feasting trio set out to destroy Maria’s ally, Q. Meanwhile, Maria tried to rally the troops against Charlie.

Q was the 13th player to be eliminated on the May 15 episode.
